NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. S. P. HARRIS SWORN IN FIRST NEGROCOUNCIL MAN IN MANY YRS. Gowdy and Napier Held Position MR. HARRIS SWORN IN TUESDAY NIGHT — SEVERAL NEGROES PRESENT TO WITNESS CEREMONY — MAYOR HOWSE ADDRESSES COUNCIL — THANKS NEGROES FOR THEIR SUPPORT —COLD COMFORT FOR THE INDEPENDENTS. Last Tuesday night, Mr. S. P. Harris, Councilman elect from the Third Ward, was duly sworn in with the other members of that body. It had been many a day since a Negro stood as a member of the city Council of Nashville. Mr. Harris was received with the courtesy due his position and when he signed his name he was roundly applauded. There has not been a Negro in the Council since the late Charles Gowdy and Hon. J. C. Napier were members, and the anxiety that rested in the minds of some as to what kind of a reception a colored man would receive was set at ease Tuesday night when Mr. Harris was treated the same as the other members. In addressing the Council Mayor Howse said: "I have been elected Mayor of Nashville by the Democrats of the city, and by the best and most influential men of Nashville, so now I take the keys of the city out of one pocket and put them in another," suiting his words by that action. "The recent fight was one of the bitterest in the history of Nashville. I want to thank the defeated candidates of our party for what they did during the fight, and wish to say to them that I had rather be a defeated Democrat than an elected Independent. Mayor Howse then spoke of the public press in Nashville during which he condemned the Tennessean and Banner for the part taken by those two papers in the campaign, and especially denounced the Banner for slandering Nashville as it has done during the past three months." Continuing his address, he said: "I thank every person who voted for the Democratic candidates again, and I know the President and City Council will stand by you during the next two years. As for myself, I am going to do what is right for Nashville, and will not deceive the people in the slightest manner whatever. We are all to work for that end. Mayor Howse thanked the colored voters for their support and made it clear that he intends to be Mayor of all the people in the future as he has in the past. CHRISTIAN WORKERS' CONFERENCE. The Christian Workers' Conference will hold a meeting at 513 Mulberry street, next Monday morning at ten o'clock, October 23. The third lesson of the Personal Workers Course will be taught.

Work, of Memphis, Tenn., one day last week. CLUB MEETING. The Loraine Social Club held a very interesting meeting Tuesday evening, October 17th, with Miss Louise Dillahunty as hostess. As usual each member responded with a quotation. Some very important business was transacted, after which a delicious ice-course was served. Some very interesting remarks were made by visitors. Mr. C. N. Perkins, Miss Lottie Ball and Mr. Robert Smith. The club will meet with Miss Anna Couch October 31st. VILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1911 D. C. V. ROMAN Recently Returned from the Ecumenical Conference. "Tis the Set of the Soul That Determines the Goal DR. ROMAN RECEIVES HIGH COMPLIMENT. Dr. C. V. Roman has returned from Toronto, Canada, where he went as a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference. In an address to the conference he made a lasting impression on the delegates. The official organ had the following to say about the address: "That the most brilliant address so far delivered was given by a black man, and he a layman. But, then, he was born in Canada. That may in part account for it."—The Daily Christian Guardian, in the issue of October 9th. In the same paper, which was the official organ of the Ecumenical Conference, recently held in Toronto, Canada, in that paper on the date of the 10th, speaking of the same incident the following is found: One of the cleverest contributions to the discussion on Methodist Theology was from the Canadian-born colored representative from the South, a medical doctor and professor in one of the schools of the Freedman's Aid Society. In teaching his Bible class composed chiefly of medical students he pressed upon their attention the fact that "the set of the soul" was the revealer of the character and the controller of destiny and the resolver of the problems both of theology and life. By the way the name of this brother is C. V. Roman, M. D., LL. D., of Nashville, Tenn. These are compliments that any man would esteem, but it can be truthfully said that Dr. Roman is a worthy recipient. Nashville is proud of such a distinguished citizen. THE A. M. E. CONFERENCE NEXT WEEK On the 25th, which will be Wednesday of next week, the annual session of the Tennessee Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church will convene at St. John, corner Eighth avenue, North and Cedar street. This session promises to be interesting in many ways. First, it will be held in the oldest African Methodist Church in the State of Tennessee. Secondly, it will be the last annual conference in this quadriennial. Again, delegates will be elected at this session to the General Conference that meets in Kansas City in May, 1912. All of these things will go to make this an interesting session from many points of view. There will be several distinguished visitors in attendance. Among them will be Dr. John Hurst, the financial secretary, with hearquarters in Washington, and the leading candidate for the bishopric, Dr. W. W. Becket, of New York, Secretary of Missions, and another possibility for Episcopal honors, Dr. B. F. Watson, of Philadelphia, Secre (Continued on Page 8) and not the Storm and the Strife.'

TENNESSEE ANNUAL CONFERENCE The Tennessee Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was held in Clark Memorial M. E. Church, October 12-15, 1911. The conference was a success in every respect. Bishop David H. Mocre, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who presided over the conference, made a profound impression upon the brethren and all who attended the sessions. The entertainment given by Revs. R. T. Weatherby, pastor of Clark Memorial, J. H. Ellis, pastor of Seays Chapel, W. D. Pettus, pastor of Braden Memorial, F. R. Anderson, pastor of Hubbard Chapel, W. L. Denton, pastor of Gordon Chapel, and their congregations, with the members of Thompson's Chapel, deserve commendation. The delegates and friends were delighted. Too much praise cannot be given those worthy pastors and their good members for the provisions made and plans carried out, so that all enjoyed their stay in the Capital City with untold pleasure. One feature of the entertainment was dinner served each day in the basement of the church. Thursday, Seay's Chapel and Gordon Chapel served dinner. Friday, Braden and Hubbard Chapels; Saturday, Clark Memorial and Thompson's Chapels. Those churches simply tried hard to ercel each other in giving the best dinner. Revs, H. W. Key and T. W. Johnson were elected ministerial delegates to the General Conference, with Revs. R. T. Weatherby and A. L. Nelson reserves. Dr. J. A. McMillan and Prof. W. D. Hawkins were elected lay delegates. Prominent visitors to the conference were: Bishop I. B. Scott, of Liberia Africa; Dr. J. A. Kumbler, President Walden University; Geo. W. Hubbard, Dean Meharry Medical College; Dr. E. M. Jones, Field Secretary of the Board of Sunday-schools; Dr. W. W. Lucas, Field Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions; Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Corresponding Secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society; Dr. I. L. Thomas, Field Secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension; D. D. Martin, Secretary of Stewart Missionary Foundation for Africa; Prof. M. S. Davage, Business Manager of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. They all spoke, to the delight of the great crowds that listened to their logical and inspiring addresses. Sunday night, when the appointments were read, marked the close of one of (Continued on Page 8) No. 41 HIGH TRIBUTE TO JUSTICE HARLAN LIFE OF NOTED JURIST PICTURED Entered upon Duties November,1877 PECULIARLY ADAPTED TO THE WORK—SERVED ON LOUISIANA COMMISSION—OPINIONS FROM BENCH ATTRACTED UNCOMMON INTEREST—NAME ASSOCIATED WITH IMPORTANT CASES—KNIGHT CASE—INCOME TAX AND MANY OTHERS—ALWAYS FOR THE RIGHT. Mr. Justice Harlan was appointed to the Supreme Court Bench by President Hayes, November 19, 1877. At that time he was serving as a member of the famous Louisiana Commission, which, pursuant to an Act of Congress, was investigating the frauds practiced against Louisiana Republicans by the Democratic party in the presidential election or 1876. In the work of the commission Mr. Harlan was deeply interested. He was the leading spirit of the committee, and his fellow commissioners followed his leading in searching and exposing the ballotthevery of southern democrats in the election, a practice which preceded and in some degree indicated the nefarious disfranchisery and JimCrow laws which now disgrace the statue books and darken the constitutions of the South. So that Mr. Justice Harlan took his seat in the greatest Court in the world, not only with carefully formed opinions respecting the sacred right of the individual in the Republic, but also and particularly with a thorough knowledge of the machination which victimized Republicans at the South, of whom colored men constituted three-fourths, as they do in the present. Where in 1877 colored men were only half free as citizens in the southern states, in 1911, when the mighty Kentuckian joined "the innumerable caravan," they are not free at all. He was burdened in the heart with the thought that he was a member of the tribunal to which they appealed for relief—a relief earnestly sought under the operation of that part of the organized law written into it for the express purpose of affording such relief as the future might justify the oppressed in seeking, and which against every principle or justice, every argument of reason, every dictate of liberty and every breath of mercy, turned an ear so deaf that reason blushed that the nearing of the learned, like the honor of the thief, was a convenient virtue. Mr. Justice Harlan's opinion from the bench attracted uncommon interest among lawyers, teachers and the people from his very first decision handed down shortly after he took his seat in 1877, in a well-known case styled National Banks vs. Insurance Companies (No. 673, 95 U. S.) which had to do with the validity of insurance policies. Early in his career he earned the name of the "Great Dissenter." He lived to see this sobriquet, first aimed in derision, become a title of honor and a crown of distinction. He dissented on the side of justice, liberty and equality. He desserted from the tower of privilege. He dissented from the assumption of caste. He dissented from the hypocrisy of color. He dissented from the flaunting of race. He dissented from all who assented to the damnable proposition that this is a "white man's country." He kept company with the spirit of the greatest of the immortal five—Thomas Jefferson. The name of Mr. Justice Harlan is associated with cases whose importance will be fadeless to the end, for they have a weighty bearing upon the genius of our institutions, and the relationship of the government to the petple in vital points. The Insular Case, involving the right of a trial by jury under the American flag; the famous Knight case, decided in 1895, the first interpreta- (Continued on Page 5) All Styles and Prices MEMBER LOCAL No.1 I.U.J.H.

The Endowment Board of the Knights of Pythias met Saturday in the Pythian Temple, Fifth avenue, North. Those present were Dr. J. P. Crawford, Grand Chancellor; Prof. W. S. Thompson, President; A. Thos. Hill, Secretary, Pulaski; C. O. Booth, Grand Attorney, Memphis; Thomas Robinson, Treasurer, Dyersburg; U. W. Richardson, Chattanooga; Dr. J. W. Whitfield, Murfreesboro; Wayman Wilkerson, Memphis; A. W. Fite, Deputy Grand Chancellor for Middle Tennessee. Quite an interesting session was held. Plans were promulgated for greater things. More publicity will hereafter be given to the affairs of the order, and to that end arrangements were made whereby the Negro press of Tennessee will publish the financial standing of the order from time to time. Over $6,000 were paid out to the widows and orphans of decreased members. The receipts showed a healthy increase over previous quarters. Taken all in all, the statues of the fraternity seems to be excellent. The growth is rapid; over two hundred lodges are paying endowment tax into the grand treasury. The balance on hand exceeded all expectations. The Board was served dinner by the Noon Lunch Cafe. The menu follows: Chicken a la Jardinere, lettuce, olives, pickles, roast veal, stuffed potatoes Lyonnaise, French peas, string beans with bacon, tomato salad, candid yams, vanilla cream, assorted cakes, grapes, Roquefort cheese, coffee, demi tasse, iced tea, Cumberland cigars. THE IMPORTANCE OF NURSERY AND ORCHARD INSTRUCTIONS. By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture The sentiment and sign of the times is safeguarding against diseases which attack mankind. Such topics as quarantine, sanitation, transmitting of disease by insects are very commonly mentioned in the magazines and the press today. These subjects are timely and important and too great stress cannot be directed to them. In fact all things which have to do directly with the health and happiness of man should be given the utmost attention. In this connection the relation of fruit and health has bearing on my thoughts. To be fruit eaters means health for the majority of persons. Yet in years like the present, to be able to satisfy our fruit appetites would require larger salaries and wages than the average man receives. Why is it we see no fruit except that grown away from here? I refer especially to those apples for which we are paying from five to 15 cents a piece. Why cannot Tennessee produce even better specimens than the best of those apples coming from the northwest? The answer is, we do not direct sufficient attention to care, culture and location of our orchards. Under the head of care comes pruning, spraying, smudging, and inspection for insect pests and plant diseases. We buy trees from another State and often select varieties not adapted to Tennessee, and invariably these trees are infested with San Jose scale, the Wooly Aphis and Crown Gall. Too little attention is given to inspection for these injurious pests. Only trees having inspection certificates should ever be accepted from any nurseryman, and we should never place an order with a "fruit tree agent." Rather buy yours trees from a nurseryman having a reputation and one who is desirous of maintaining it. Council with authorities before you buy trees; learn from them the kind which do best in your soil and on your elevations. Learn how to set out your orchard and above all else decide to spray. Unless you are willing to adopt this paying practice, my advice is to you is—do not waste your money in setting out trees, for under all conditions both trees and fruit will not do their best unless attention is directed along this line. Preventive measures are necessary and precautionary steps imperative. Know the harmful insects and plant diseases and inspect your orchard and nursery often, in order that you may recognize these pests and know what treatment to apply. Many of the common enemies to the fruit trees are readily destroyed if correct remedial steps are advanced at the right time. For those entering or already in fruit growing in this State, may feel sure of success if vigilance is exercised in the selection, care and culture of the trees they plant. THE HUBBARD HOSPITAL CLUB. The George W. Hubbard Hospital Club met at the Hubbard Hospital, Monday afternoon, October 16th, with an unusual large attendance. Every one present was so full of enthusiasm over their Field Day effort that they could hardly wait to hear the reports of the different committees. The report for the evening was $180.05. The ladies were so anxious that their part of the report come to $200 that each one felt it their duty to try and raise as much as one dollar each by next meeting. The credit is due Mesdames F. A. Stewart, J. E. Wells, J. T. Breedlove, Misses V. L. Moore and Sophia Jackson, who were chairmen of the different committees on Field Day. These ladies together with the other members of the club saw to it that every one who came was served to his satisfaction. A WORD OF THANKS. We, the members of the Ladies Auxiliary No. 1 of the D. M.

Mrs. Clara Coles, of Fourth avenue, North, has in her yard an unusual sight in the blooming of a large century plant. The blossom is a beautiful white and yellow one, resembling a lily. It is said that these plants bloom only once in a hundred years. So this one is causing quite a sensation. The flower was presented to the Globe office. DEATHS.

In the preparation of "Talks to Farmers" we do not claim all the matter used will be original. Where we find another has expressed well 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. By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture. I would like to talk to you this week about agricultural conditions in our State and the relations of the Experiment Station to the farmer. When we travel over the State and see the galled and washed land, the tumble-down houses, rotten fences, overgrown with briars on some farms, we feel like we are losing ground agriculturally, but when we look into the matter, we find that we have made a substantial increase in production of all the crops except wheat and oats. But to the pessimistic farmer who thinks we are going backward, I would like to tell him that in the total value of all farm land in 1910 as against 1900 shows an increase of 84 per cent.; in farm lands and buildings 81 per cent. an increase of 87 per cent. in the average value of the land per acre. There has been a decrease in acreage of farm lands of two per cent. This I give to show that conditions in general are improving. We have a great many farmers all over the State who are keeping in touch with the Experiment Stations and profiting by the results of their investigations. They are learning how to rebuild their soil, how to conserve the moisture for their growing --- Fine Fall Footwear in all latest styles. The original $2.50 Shoe Store of the South.

They are learning how to avoid waste of time, to apply business methods in conducting their farm operations that will stop many leaks and place the balance on the right side of the ledger. While all this is being done by the wide-awake progressive farmers who keep abreast of the times, we have a class of farmers who are making a pretense of farming as their fathers and grandfathers did, who say that it was good enough for their fathers and is good enough for them. They lose sight of the fact that when their athers were farming the soil was fresh, right in plant food, well supplied with humus in the soil and would grow good crops with little effort on the part of the farmer. They lose sight of the fact that conditions have changed, their soil has changed, and they cannot hope for results unless they will change to meet the changed conditions. While I am at the head of the Department of Agriculture for Tennessee I propose to do all I can to encourage agricultural education. I am going to try and bring the backward armer and the Experiment Station together. The Stations are doing their work of original investigation, and doing it well. If our fathers would practice what the Experiment Station, teaches, in two years the production of crops in Tennessee would be doubled. I am not worrying about the farmer who has advanced far enough that he can appreciate and apply the lesson taught by the Experiment Stations. I want to reach the farmer who has let his farm run down, the man who is misdirecting his energy, and give him medicine as he can stand it; go on to his own ground, work under the conditions he has to work under, and prove to him by results that he can do the same thing. The progressive farmers of Tennessee have reached a point where they know where to obtain information and how to apply it. If we want to make rapid strides in improving agricultural conditions in Tennessee we must direct our effort towards the farmer who is indifferent or inclined to be antagonistic towards what he terms "Book Farming" or scientific farming. This class of farmers is getting no benefit from the investigations of the Experiment Stations. They think they would have to qualify for making the slame kind of investigations, that they would have to have expensive equipment of every character to do scientific farming. We need to reduce the size of many of our farms. We have farmers that are land poor—they have more land than they can cultivate. The Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Immigration are working to give relief to the farmer by publishing bulletins of the resources and productions of the several counties, giving all the information that the home-seekers and investors would want. These bulletins will be placed in the hands of people who would be desirable citizens of Tennessee, and try and induce them to come here and buy farms or as laborers or as manufacturers. We want desirable immigrants to help us do our part in making Tennessee what it was planned to be—the Garden Spot of the World. Wm.

The execution of the program and the discussion of the different diseases and topics of the medical branch by the Negro doctors, dentists and pharmacists put the people of Mason, both white and colored, to thinking and wondering what will the Negro do in the next forty years, if he makes the progress he has made in the last forty years. On Wednesday during the session several persons came out to be treated by the doctors. In examining the clinics, one person was found to have pellagra the new disease. Several of the white physicians were called to view the case. Memphis was selected as the next place of meeting. Dr. E. D. Walker, of Union City, Tenn., was elected president for the next six months.

The McKenzie school enjoyed an able and interesting address delivered by Dr. C. O. Hunter, of Columbia, Tenn., last Friday afternoon. The K. P.'s of McKenzie had come in conferring degrees upon candidates last Friday night. The "goat" must have been hard to handle, judging from the amount of hair found on the hall floor the next morning. Miss Claudie Mai Davis, of Lewisburg, was the guest of Miss Vellina Fitzpatrick last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Charley Bates and Mr. Arthur Duncan were the guests of Prof. J. B. Jones last Sunday evening. The farmers here are quite busy gathering corn, picking cotton and sowing wheat. Some of the boys of the neighborhood went hunting last Saturday night and treed a tremendous "coon," so they say, and proposed to "sit up" with the monster till Sunday morning, but the boys fell into the arms of Morons and Mr. Raccoon walked down and when the lads awoke they found that their captured prize had fled to parts unknown.

Justice Harlan. Justice John Marshall Harlan, As- sociate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, died in Washington Saturday. Justice Harlan was born in Boyle County, Kentucky, June 1, 1833, and was commissioned an As- sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, November 29, 1877.’ Justice Harlan was a unique character, He was courageous and never failed to stand up for what he believed to be right. ‘On several oc- ecasions cases have come up before the Supreme Court relative to the Negro, that appeared to all sane men to be discriminatory. It is well known to the American people how a majority of the Supreme Court members have decided these cases, but Justice Harlan was. invariably found on the minority side. If he be- lieved an injustice had been done, ‘he would say so regardless of who it affected. He did not compromise with wrong because the question of veracity happened to be between white and black man. He did not make decisions in that way, but based his opinion on justice. If there were two of his associates standing with him, all right and well; if there was one, it was the same to Judge Har- Jan; if he had to stand alene, he did so without a quiver, because he felt that with right on his side he was stronger than all of the other members of the Supreme Court com- bined. The name of John Marshall Harlan will live forever in the hearts of the American Negroes, not because they looked upon him as a sympa- thizer and friend because of their peculiar surroundings, but because he had the courage to stand up for the right. When the American Negroes think of the Supreme Court of the United States now, they will not feel that there is at least one man on the bench who will fight their cause, They know what to expect from a majority of the remaining justices, and so it will have a tendency to drive the Negroes to another shelter; to look for justice from some other source, He will not slacken his traces because of the loss of this staunch friend, but will be more de termined than ever to fight his bat tles and to contend for what he be Neves to be the right. He knows that right has always triumphed and he has faith in his Creator to be lieve that in some way justice will come to the much abuse¢ and con stantly discouraged black man ir America, They honor Justice Harlan for what he has done for them They will always remember him as a friend of justice and a champior of the cause of the weak. Nashville Negroes’ Needs. From time to time conditions arise in this city that show the weakness of her Negro citizens. It is madé clear that there is a great lack of or- ‘Banizavion, & heed Of UNncerSsanuing ‘on the rart of the leaders. The Ne- groes of Nashville must be: given credit for doing remarkably well in their disorganized state, but who knows when an occasion will arise that will require a better understand- ing and a more concerted . action? Does not this suggest a need of or- ganization? ‘'The-complaint is often made about Negro women being allowed to fre- quent saloons and dives, and that the policemen of the city pay no attention to it, but there seems to be no thought of the fact that the Negro men of the city have never taken any definite step to have this prac: tice broken up. As little as is thought of it, it is true nevertheless, that every true citizen m this city ‘has a deal to do to look after him- self and his own interests, The white people have their troubles. It is not apparent to all Negroes that they do, but they have numerous con- ditions to contend with. They are ‘kept busy every day in the year in ‘their eorts to strengthen the weak places among their people and to ‘bring them up to a respectable gen- eral average, and if the Negro’s needs are looked after the Negro men will have to ‘do it. Conditions are such in the South that the social, moral and religious affairs of the blick and white peo- ple are kept separate. This being true, it looks out of place when white men attempt to do this work among colored people. In fact, Negroes be- come indignant when white people make themselves too conspicuous around them, ‘They do not like it, they do not believe there is any sin- cerity in it, therefore this work, if done at all, must be done by the Negroes themselves. If the moral standard of our people is to be lifted the think- ing people must get together and map out plans whereby such can be accomplished. No one can afford to say they are not concerned, neither can they place themselves in an at- titude that will separate them from the influence that is made on the world by the thoughtless and immo- ral element. All children attend the same pub- lic schools, and {it is conced€d that one bad child can influence ten good children. It is much easter for one bad boy to get ten good boys into mischief than it is for ten good boys to keep one out. So every mother and evety father should feel that it is a part of their duty to help make their neighbor's boy or their neighbor's girl the best they can, Time will not allow the work- ers for the moral uplift to reform those people who are set in their ways and who have passed the age in life where the mind can be shaped. The hope is in the children and un- less they can be gotten hold of the effort will be futile. Such work will require systematic organization and that is woefully lacking in our city, What is true of the moral life is also so true of the religious and social life of our people. It is high time our ministers and our teachers, and all who are interested in the gen- eral uplift of the peopte were get- ting together on these propositions It can not be done in a day, but it never will be done unless an effort is made. The Nashville Banner, a loca daily and a member of the “Immacu late Clan,” grows facetious in dis: cussing the recent election. In the issue of the 17th under the hea¢ “Rival Claimants” the Banner, com menting on an edilorial that appeare¢ in these columns, says: The Globe has been for, two years, it says, preserving “the flickering light” of “straight De- mocracy” at the state capital. In other words, it was the Demo- cratic hope in times of despair. The Banner doesn’t feel called upon to decide the rival claims of its two contemporaries. Whether the Globe or the Demo- crat is the true organ of “straignt Democracy” in Nashville and which is really entitied to the credit of the Howse victory, the two papers must settle this Viscaae to ene ah eee ew ae ; All we can say on the subject — is that the SORA en ! as was said of the colored troops | in the civil war, “fit nobly” on the Howse side. The returns from Black Bottom and the Fourth Ward leave small doubt as to that conclusion. ‘The last sentence in the concluding paragraph shows plainly the spirit of the Banner, or rather the one man for whom it speaks. No one is sur- prised, but the most ardent admirers of our vacillating contemporary would have been sorely disappointed if this sentiment had not been expressed. To show the real mottye of the Stalhman organ it is only necessary to recall some of its utterances dur- ing the last three years. The Fourth Ward and Black Bottom are referred to because they are what Is common- ly styled “Red Light Districts.” In 1910, less than fifteen months ago, a bill was introduced in the city council to’ issue bonds to convert Black Bottom into a park, Al who are acquainted with conditions in jthis city know what Black Bottom is, Let us see now. Stalhman, be- cause he had a personal feeling agains: Mayor Howse, passed an or der down to the editors of the Ban- ner that redemption or no redemp- tion the proposition of the Mayor must be defeated. So the influence of the Banner was thrown against the elimination of the notorious Black Bottom, and what might have by this time been a garden of flowers remains an eyesore to the people and @ disgrace to our cityy But Stalh- man says he is for reform, A few months ago the citizens who are pa- trons of one our :public schools pro- tested against a ‘certain individual teaching their children, They had just cause for doing so, and the best people of the city were agreed that it would be an outrage to have chil- dren under the tutelage of such a character, but what did Stalhman do? Did he stand up for the moral up- lift of the Negro children? No;, he fought to the last ditch to have that individual retained in the pub- lic schools. ‘He lost out, of course; his friends would not support him in such a mean and unmanly stand. What did the Banner (Stalhman) do? The proceedings of the Board of Education were twisted in a way to make it appear that Major Stalhman would eventually win out. During the campaign just closed the Banner, at every turn, endeav- ored to create prejudice between the Negroes and the regular democrats. It was cited several times that Ne- groes were not allowed to participate in the primary, but no mention was made of the star chamber sessions of the Stalhman Committee, These are merely a few of the “mote” and “beam” tactics of the Banner, but enough to show any one the insin- cerity of the man for whom it speaks. ‘The Globe is not at all daunted by the slurs of the Banner. We can prove that the majority of the Ne- groes voted the straight democratic ticket in nearly every ward in the city. In the Third Ward, where Stalhman spent all day and half of the night on election day, Mayor Howse beat Gillespie by an over- whelming majority. Stalhman had banked on this ward, but now refers | to it as the “home of democracy.” jIt is hard to die in a struggle, but the Major must die some how. If he decides to fold his arms and pass Into political oblivion quietly, so well and good: if he must be strangled it will be pitiful to behold, but die he must; and the Banner may not have long to mourn his loss.

The Physicians, Dentists and Phar- macists. tendered a complimentary smoker to Dr. C, V. Roman, Monday night, at Dumas Hotel. Thirty-seven physicians and the ae in surgery assembled and did honor to the visit- ing guest. It was an honor well de- served and Chicago delights to “make merry” over men, real big men of the various profesions. We are never backward in paying tribute and re- spect to those that have contributed something to the affairs of life. Dr. Cc. V. Roman is a Nashvillian by adoption, a specialist of national rep- utation and a member of the Meharry medical staff. Then too, Dr. Roman is editor of tha National -Medical Journal that is disseminating a class of medical and surgical knowledge, bound to do good and wield a power- ful influence for helpfulness to ‘the profession. Dr. Roman, it is said, delivered a most excellent address. We trust he did, for most editors can speak as well as write. The local press as well as tho physicians were glad to weleomé the good doctor in our midst and pleased that he was so royally treated by his intimate “brethren.” The Chronicle wishes him greater success and a larger circula- tion of the Journal of which he 80 ably and brilliantly edits.—Illinois Chronicle. | | | | | DR. MASON AT MEHARRY. The Meharry Auditorium, on Fri- day evening, the 13th, inst, was the scene of a most splendid spectacle: _ It had been previously announced that Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Secretary of the Freedman’s Aid Society, would ad- dress the delegates of the- M. E. Chureh Conference, and .the public had been invited. The hour prior to the opening of the exercises was 8 o'clock, but at 6:45 the people begun to repair to the great edifice and when the appointed hour arrived the building was crowded: every seat was occupied and chairs were necessarily placed along the aisles to the great relief of many. The. first speaker of the evening was Dr. Bennett, Inspec- tor of the schools of the Freedman’s Aid Society. The Doctor reported on the work end development of the schools with which he is connected, and urged the necessity of due prep- aration for the various professions represented among the colored peo- ple. . Dr. Thomas, of Atlanta, Ga,, was entrusted with the introduction of Dr. M. C. B, Mason. The latter gen- tleman, on rising before the audi- ence 4vas cheered vociferously. He spoke of the work that is being done by the churches of the Freedman’s Aid Society for the improvement of the conditions of the Negro race, and for aiding in the solving of the race problem. In his further dis- quisitions he remarked on the neces- sity of ethical and moral training for the Negro, declaring this to be the only force that can possibly keep the races on the basis of moral friend- ship and helpfulness. The Doctor then congratulated the North on its generous contributions for the relief of the necessities of the South. The meeting was closed at 10 ofclock and the audience regretted that the speaker had brought his ad- dress to an end. The election of officers of the Sen- ior Medical Class was held at the Auditorium on Tuesday afternoon, the 17th, inst, at 1 o'clock. The class hed been very active during the first two weeks in their selection for the various offices and great was the anxiety as to the result. The ut- most order prevailed throughout the entire election period, and at 2:30 p. m, the official return showed the fol- lowing: G. W. Furlow, President; J. T. Smith, Vice-President; R. G. Buckner, Secretary; A. C. Torrence, Assistant Secretary; B. A. Everett, ‘Treasurer; 4H, D. Canady, Clinical Secretary. Everything in Shoes PATRICIAN Shoe THE EMBLEM OF CORRECT FOOTWEAR In times gone by a person's rank was often determined by the cockade on a hat, the height of a stock or the length of a shoe.

The First Baptist Church of Franklin celebrated her forty-sixth anniversary last Sunday. Several of the members who started with the church forty years ago were present, and rejoicing over the privilege of taking part in the services. The services were carried out as follows: In the absence of Rev. Wm. Lawrence, of Nashville, who was expected to be out, Rev. W. L. McGhee, the pastor, preached at 11 o'clock, after which the congregation was invited to the I. O. I. Hall where the various sisters had prepared a delightful dinner. At 3 o'clock all assembled at church and were invited to listen to Rev. Wm. Haynes, D. D., of Nashville, who discussed the power of God. Many wonderful thoughts were brought out in Dr. Haynes' sermon. At 7:30 o'clock Rev. J. T. Patton preached to a crowded house. Miss Ethel Merrell presided at the organ. About thirty dollars were raised during the day. BACK FROM THE GOLDEN WEST After an absence of about thirty days, Miss Lady Emma Phillips returned to the city from the West.

Chairman Clark stated that much business of the ensuing fiscal year was taken up and dispensed with. It will be remembered that the Publishing Board usually holds it annual meeting on the second Tuesday in each October when they return from the Convention, but the absence of Chairman Clark, who was in a meeting in Atlanta with Dr. Williams, and Dr. Boyd, who was attending the Kansas and Missouri State Conventions, prevented the meeting on the last Tuesday. Almost the entire local Board was present on the 17th. Secretary Boyd reported a splendid outlook for 1912, stating that much work which was incomplete when they left the Convention was now in course of completion.

Shelbyville, Tenn., Oct. 16.—The law suit which was brought by Rev. J. A.

A. Crump, Dock Montgomery, August 7, 1910. The Justice's court allowed damage in the sum of $200.0* The case was appealed by the defendant company to the Circuit Court of Bedford County, which resulted in a hung jury, since the case after such results would naturally stand for trial in the next term of court, a more vigorous fight was set up by the defendant, but just before the last term of court the plaintiff was offered a satisfactory compromise, which was accepted.

F Union met with Sylvian City Lodge, No. 1776, Queen of Sheba Household of Ruth No. 111 and Juvenile Society No. 76, in East Nashville. Although the weather was inclement there was a large attendance. The president, Dr. Preston Taylor, reported the sum of $116.00 in bank, as the net amount arising from the May entertainment and the Odd Fellows picnic. Very interesting and encouraging reports were brought in from the eight lodges, six Households and three Juvenile Societies of the Union. They are in a healthy financial and numerical condition, and are making many additions to their membership, besides the organization of two new lodges. Addresses were made by the President, Lawyer Grant, District Grand Attorney and others. All urged expansion and upbuild both in finances and membership. Lawyer Grant was chosen reporter for the meeting. At the close of the business the assembly was invited, by the entertaining Lodge, Household and Juvenile Society, to the dining hall on the first floor where a splendid threecourse banquet was served to the joy and delight of all.

ROGER WILLIAMS MUSIC DE- PARTMENT. The musical department at Roger Williams took a certain spurt upward when one of Steinway's $800.00 Star Pianos was placed in the college chapel and two others—one in the assembly room, the other upstairs for practice purposes. Three nice pianos are all right, but the encouraging feature about the whole affair is that each of these instruments are kept busy in the matter of supplying the practice for the large number of music pupils, and the music teacher is handling the situation very skillfully and cleverly. Along all lines do we find improvements inasmuch as there are marked improvements along musical lines. Rev. P. J. Coleman, of Clarksville, Tenn., was out to visit the school last Friday, the 13th, inst., and delivered a very appropriate address before the student body; also Rev. C. A. Ward, D. D., of Boston, Mass., dropped in for a few hours to see how the school was progressing and to shake hands with friends. That Dr. Ward is a pulpit orator of national fame was clearly demonstrated in his short talk before the student body last Monday, the 16th, inst. Both of these famous gentlemen are Alumni of the old institution, and have done things to shape the lives and destinies of a large per cent. of our people. Long may they live to do much more work of a similar character. REV. C. A. WARD. OF BOSTON. Prominent among the visitors of Nashville this week was Rev. Cassius A.

GAINES The great six nights' Chautauqua that will be opened at the Athletic Park next Monday night, October 23rd, is booming. And a great crowd is expected. Rev. Gaines has stirred the whole city. Everybody is anxious to see the Pythlan, Odd Fellow and Military drills, and the Spelling Contest, Blacksmith's Contest, and the contest between the four Brass Bands, all of which will take place the first night. All the school children, who expect to enter the Spelling Contest must be sure to bring pencil and tablet, because the spellers will have to write their spelling. No one can enter the Spelling Contest over twelve years of age. All children who expect to, spell will be admitted free. W. D. Hawkins, formerly professor of Greek and Latin, at Walden University, now Paying Teller of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Co., will conduct the spelling match, and grade the papers and announce the successful contestant, on Saturday night, October the 28th. All who expect to enter the spelling NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS AS REPORTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. In Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas are thousands of Negroes who own farms which are well stocked and on whita they live in comfort and contentment, just as do their white neighbors. The opportunities for the black man in farming are more and better in the South than anywhere else in, or outside of this country. For instance: Negro farmers own nearly all the county of which Marshall, Texas, is the county seat. Moreover this county has the reputation of being one of the most fertile in the state. The Galveston News (white) recently had this to say through its correspondent, at Brenham, Texas: "Miles Motley, a colored farmer who owns a large Brazos River farm near Chapel Hill, was in Branham Thursday and when asked how many acres he had in cultivation, modestly replied, about six or seven hundred in corn and one tfhousand in cotton. Miles is a frugal, hardworking colored man, and has made his success in life by hard work and strict attention to business." Mr. Motley, besides owning several thousand acres of land, controls a steam gin, store, etc., and otherwise is making good. At Mansfield, La., DeSoto Parish, lives Mr. J. T. Henderson, who not only runs a large woodyard and is a manufacturer of soft drinks, but also is a farmer on an extensive scale, owning over 900 acres of fertile land PERRY & LESTER COAL CO.

Don't forget the "Cage of Death" will be there without fail at a great cost: it is not a cheap affair, the greatest free act in the country. The Sons and Daughters of Abraham, the Drivers Union, the Calanthe, Odd Fellows and Pythians will have booths, and are handling tickets.

Other colored farmers in the same neighborhood are Philip Wiggins, who raises an abundance of corn, potatoes, cane and cotton on three hundred acres, and the Rev. Jack Fulton who is the fortunate possessor of over 1,000 acres of rich bottom land, bordering the Red River. Mr. Charles Duplantier, who resides at Buntville, La., is also a very large planter. He owns about 3,700 acres, on which he raises cane by the ton, cotton by the hundred bales, corn, potatoes and peas by the thousands of bushels. He has seventy-five heads of stock, a hundred of hogs. Last year he furnished the state farm with meat at $400 per month. His home place is worth $35,000, while his possessions elsewhere will aggregate $70,000 or more. Dr. B. R. Bluitt, of Dallas, Texas, owns one of the finest and most complete sanitariums that any member of the race has in the country. It cost over $12,000 and was established in June, 1905. Over four hundred patients have received treatment therein. Some of the most skillful operations known to the surgical world have been performed in this institution by Negro physicians. It is the proud boast of the management that ninety-eight per cent. of all the operative cases treated there have recovered. Dr. Bluitt has associated with him some of the very best surgical Negro talent in the South. A. M. E. CONFERENCE NEXT WEEK. (Continued from Page 1) tary of Church Extension, and a possibility also; Prof. J. R. Hawkins, of Kittrell, N. C., Secretary of Education and an aspirant for the financial secretaryship to succeed Dr. Hurst. Dr. R. W. Allen, editor of the Southern Christian Recorder and Alabama's choice for the bishopric, is also expected, as is Dr. McDonald, Editor of the Western Christian Recorder. Prof. R. R. Wright, Manager of the Book Concern of Philadelphia and editor of the Christian Recorder, the oldest Negro newspaper of the country, will be present if it is possible for him to arrange matters so. There will be many other visitors from the different conferences and aspirants for honors at the General Conference. Bishop Parks is the presiding bishop of this district and is putting forth every effort to make this a banner year in Tennessee. From present indications it seems that the reports will be extra large, especially for educational purposes and the general fund. It is expected that a good deal of shifting around will take place at this conference. Since the death of Dr. T. W. Haigler, one of the presiding elders, the air has been full of rumors as to who will be his successor. Many have been mentioned, but at this writing no forecast can be made that seems in any wise reliable. The promotion of some man to the presiding eldership will leave one of the best churches in the conference to be filled, and some young man who has made a record will in all likelihood be moved up. The St. John A. M. E. Church, where the conference is to be held, has everything in readiness. Dr. Howard, the new pastor, has done a great work this year and his people are delighted with him and will be greatly disappointed if he is not returned. The conferences will be entertained by the various African Methodist churches of the city. A spread will be laid in the dining-room each day. On Wednesday, the opening day, dinner will be served at Bethel; on the 26th, by St. Paul; on the 27th, by St. Luke, Ebenezer, Trinity and Flat Rock; on the 28th, by Salem, St. James and Scovel Street; on the 29th, by St. John; on the 30th, the closing day, by Bethel. The election of General Conference delegates promises to be a great contest. Five or six will be elected out of about twenty aspirants, but the sifting down will come when the ballots are cast, and it is believed that the strongest men will be selected regardless of fear or favor. The visitors to this conference will be treated to many able sermons and speeches by the distinguished visitors, bishops and general officers who will be present at the different sessions, which means that St. John A. M. E. Church will be a scene of much activity during the next week. EAST TENNESSEE CONFERENCE. (Continued from Page 1) most interesting sessions that the Tennessee Conference has ever witnessed. The next session of the conference will be held in Gallatin, Tenn., October, 1912. The conference collected for benevolences a total of $2,194.00. Ministerial support and other collections excelled that of any other present year. The conference can sing "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow." Special mention of the leading appointments—Dr. T. W. Johnson was retained on the Nashville District; J. B. Booth on the Cumberland River District; Dr. S. M. Utley on the Central District; and C. L.
