SAYS PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE
CHANGED DATE—CALLS EDITOR TO LAW—SAYS THEY ARE NOT OUT THERE FOR AMUSEMENT CHARGES GLOBE WITH PARTIALITY—SAY "SO FAR AS WE KNOW IMPROVEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN MENTIONED—SAYS IT IS TIME FOR .THE GLOBE TO CALL HALT.
A committee of students of Fisk University in an attempt to throw some light on the Meharry-Fisk football situation takes the Globe to task for publishing an article concerning the matter in last week's issue. The Globe is ordered to get its feet on the facts, and stop publishing things about Fisk. The question is asked, why did not the editor of the Globe telephone out to the office at Fisk. The student's committee did not know that President Gates had absolutely refused to give any news to the Globe. The facts, the facts. The students message reads as follows:
Get Your Feet on Facts.
To the Editor of the Nashville Globe: In your issue of November 3rd there appeared an article concerning the Fisk-Meharry Thanksgiving Footand so far removed from facts, as we have found them to be, that we ask for an opportunity to make correction through your paper. The article read in part as follows: "It is said the managers of both teams desire to pull the game off on the usual day and the members of the Faculties are favorable toward it, but there remains a stumbling block that it seems impossible to move, and that is no less person than Dr. George A. Gates, President of Fisk University. It is said overtures upon vop of overtures have been made to him but to no avail. Dr. Gates is very positive in his declarations and if he has decided finally that the game cannot be played on Thanksgiving day the people might as well look for some other entertainment for their holiday outing."
Anxious to know the facts in the case, members of the Senior College class immediately made an investigation. We found that this matter of transferring the game which is played by Fisk and Meharry from Thanksgiving day to some other day was done by the Prudential Committee of the Faculty. We saw and read the minutes of the meeting and have since talked with members of the Committee, President Gates being Chairman of the Prudential Committee, found no occasion to vote on the question. So far as we know, and we feel that we are in a position to know President Gates has never yet expressed his own personal opinion concerning the game. Now these are facts as we have been able to get them through first-hand investigation.
We do not know who the Globe's informant is. The Globe simply says "It is said,"—a clever expression to shift responsibility. It seems to us that the proper course for a responsible newspaper, as the Globe claims to be to pursue would be to get the facts and not vague and indefinite rumors. Why did not the editor of the Globe telephone out to the office at Fisk University or come or send some one in person and thus get his feet on facts? It looks to us like pretty poor policy to assail responsible administration simply on what "is said." The students of Fisk University resent keenly the Globe's latest exhibition of injustice and misrepresentation toward their President.
Fisk University is, first of all, a college. The men and women who are supporting this school do so because of the grade of work that is being done in the class room, and not because of any football game. As
NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1911
students we are not out here on this hill for the purpose of amusements as the Globe would make it appear. Many improvements have been made at Fisk University within the past two years. So far as we know, the Globe has not said one word about them, but when there comes the first chance to distort some action of the administration into a declaration of the spirit of race, justice or of dislikes for the colored people of Nashville, then the Globe gets busy.
As the Senior College class of this school and representing the student body, we think it time for the Globe is call a halt. If the truth about Fisk is not going to be published, then we ask in all fairness that nothing be published.

ORDINATION AT NORTH SIXTH
STREET BAPTIST CHURCH,
EAST NASHVILLE.
On Thursday evening at 4 o'clock a counsel of Baptist ministers met at the North Sixth Street Baptist Church for the purpose of examining Rev. Whitaker for ordination. The following named brethren were present: Revs. Merritt, Wilson, Phillips, Sherron, Moore, Jackson and Dickerson. Rev. Merritt, moderator, and Rev. A. Alexander, clerk. After a rigid examination of Brother Whitaker the counsel passed on him for ordination, adjourning for supper. Sisters Mealie Nelson, Lue Ella Turner, Laura Napier, Mary White spared no pains in spreading their table with plenty. The counsel re-assembled at 8:15. Rev. J. M. Moore preached the ordination sermon. Rev. Geo. W. Dickerson delivered the charge to the candidate. Rev. A. Alexanedr delivered the charge to the church. Rev. A. Phillips offered prayer and Rev. T. J. Tunstell presented the Bible. Collection. Bene diction by Rev. Whittaker.
DR. A. W. WILLIS, OF GALVESTON.
Among the members of the Dental Class of 1910 from Meharry that have been heard from and that seem to be holding up the "red and black" is Dr. W. A. Willis, now located in the Island City of Texas, made famous by the recent construction of the seawall. Dr. Willis was very prominent in the recent session of the Medical Association held at Dallas, representing Galveston and its dental profession in line with other representatives who went up to mingle in this annual session.
WILL DISCUSS EVANGELISM
At the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, pastored by Rev J. Davenport Bushell, a very important meeting among the young people will be held Sunday-afternoon at 6:30. The Metoka and Galeda Classes of this church will have services and a literary program. It will be the evening set aside to discuss evangelism. The principal speaker of the evening will be the teacher of the Galeda Class No. 16 of Mt. Olive Sunday-School, in the person of Rev. Henry A. Boyd, who has accepted the invitation to be present on the occasion. The fact that revival services are already in action throughout the city makes this occasion worth the while.
REV. J. P. ROBINSON. D. D.
Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church of Little Rock, Ark., and chairman of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, was in the city Tuesday, attending a special Board meeting. The meeting was an adjourned meeting from the month of October. Dr. Robinson could not get off last month on account of the association work, but he stated while here, in his characteristic way, that he was killing two birds with one stone. That is to say, he was looking after the work of the Home Mission Board, which has been in cooperation with the Publishing Board, and at the same time putting his finishing touches on his new book, "Why Believers Should Be Baptized, Catholicism Exposed." This is not his first effort as a writer; it was his "Sermons and Sermonettes" that brought him prominently before the nation as a safe counsellor and leader. The book is said to have had an unprecedented circulation, being much in demand by Baptists throughout the country, because of Dr. Robinson's originality as well as his constructive ideas. When seen after the Board meeting he said that he had nothing to say but that Chairman Clark and Secretary Boyd would possibly hand out whatever statement that was to be made about the work of the Boards.
Gorman Loses in Bitter Fight.
SECOND REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR
SINCE CIVIL WÄR—DEMOCRATS
CONCEDE THE ELECTION TO
GOLDSBOROUGH—NEGROES
MUCH IN EVIDENCE—CONSTI-
TUTIONAL AMENDMENT
DRAWS THEM OUT—PUT ON
FIGHTING TOGS AND WIN A
SIGNAL VICTORY—STATE ASSEMBLY DEMOCRATIC.
Baltimore Nov. 7.—Hon. Phillips
Lee Goldsborough, who resigned the
position of Collector of Internal Revenue
to become the Republican candidate
for Governor, was elected to the
position to-day by an estimated plurality of 5,000 over State Senator A. P. Gorman, the Democratic candidate
and son of the late United States Senator A. P. Gorman.
This is the end of one of the most bitter struggles in Maryland politicians and incidentally brings about the election of the second Republican Governor in the history of the Commonwealth. The first Republican Governor was Lloyd Lowndes.
Maryland is normally a Democratic State and under ordinary conditions a Democratic nomination for Governor is tantamount to an election by 10, 200 majority. In this campaign Gorman went through a bitter primary fight, defeating State Senator Lee by one vote in the convention, and following the election were all manner of fraud charges. These the grand jury of Baltimore investigated and 125 election judges were presented for fraudulent returns.
The principal fight in the city tick-was for Sheriff between Hughes, who had the support of the Democratic organization, and McNolton, who exposed the primary rauds, and who was responsible for the investigation by the grand jury.
Another feature of the election was the vote on the constitutional amendment to disfranchise all Negroes and foreign-born who did not possess $500 worth of taxable property. This has gone down in defeat.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 8.—With complete unofficial returns from Baltimore and practically all parts of the state heard from, the election of Phillip Lee Goldsborough, republican candidate for governor, over State Senator Arthur Pue Gorman, democrat, has been established. Mr. Goldsborough's plurality, it is estimated, will be between 2,500 and 3,000. Both houses of the legislature will be democratic by safe majorities. Edgar Allen Poe and Emerson C. Harrington, democratic nominees, respectively for attorney-general and comptroller, were elected. Judge Henry Stockbridge, republican, was re-elected judge of the state court of appeals. The constitutional amendment disfranchising the Negro was decisively defeated. Mr. Goldsborough is the second republican governor of this state since the civil war, Lloyd Lowndes in 1895 being the first.
ROGER WILLIAMS LOSES TO MEHARRY
Last Saturday, November 4th, Roger Williams played her initial game against the veteran football warriors of Mehairy Medical College and lost 21 to 0. The score does not by any means tell the story, nor can it be narrated without serious difficulty. The fact is, a defeat is just that and nothing more, and yet there are a few surrounding circumstances and conditions that need be explained to relieve the situation at times. The game was hotly contested from start to finish. The Roger Williams bunch of youngsters proved to the spectators conclusively that they were scrappers of first calibre and fought vigorously to the blowing of the last whistle, notwithstanding the overwhelming odds that stood against them in bold relief. Football is a game in which the participants must
work together on the same team from year to year to be able to develop team work that will count in game winning, especially when the material is to be whipped into form from the very first stages. Mr. Jackson, at Roger Williams has had his troubles along these lines, and no one is in position to understand his handicaps except those who have had similar experiences. His bunch of youngsters, eight of whom had never donned football togs before, played Meharry, the touted champions of the entire southland, to a 21 to 0 score, and once, after the stage fright had worn, they rushed the ball from their own 20-yard line on actual merit to Meharry's p-yard line before Meharry could stop the terrific rushes. If Mr. Jackson, of Roger Williams, can hold together his present aggregation of football warriors another year, the athletic public will see his real worth and ability in matters athletic. He is a close student of the game, and only wants an opportunity to demonstrate it when circumstances are better. He played quarterback on the famous Atlanta Baptist College football team for eight years, and was the all-southern quarterback in the fall of 1906.
DR. THIRKIELD AT WALDEN.
A most splendid spectacle was presented at Meharry Auditorium on Tuesday afternoon, the 2nd inst., when the students of Meharry and of the various departments of Warden University, together with several members of the faculty, assembled there to listen to an address by Dr. W. P. Thirkield, President of Howard University, Washington, D. C.
Dr. Hubbard, Dean of Meharry, introduced the speaker, Dr. Thirkield, characterizing the work of the former as one of self-sacrifice and noble devotion, and referring to his own eventful life, demonstrated the importance of responding to the call for useful service and exalted purpose.
Continuing his address, he spoke on the beneficial effects of religion in the lives of men. In part, he said:
LOCAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

Hale; Secretary, Dr. L. A. Fisher; Assistant Secretary, Dr. J. W. Bright; Treasurer, Dr. R. H. Voorhees; Librarian, Dr. J. A. McMillan. The outlook for a progressive year is very flattering.
REV. W. SAMPSON BROOKS.
Special to the Globe
St. Louis, Mo., Nov.6—Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, the new pastor at St. Paul A, M. E. Church, was present at yesterdaf's services. The house was packed to greet him and the ex-expressions heard generally since are indicative of general satisfaction. Rev. Brooks comes from Nashville, Tenn., where he was the pastor of St. Paul Church for several years.
PROF. WRIGHT, OF PHILA-
DELPHIA
On Monday of this week Prof. R. R. Wright, the manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern and the editor of the Christian Recorder, both located at Philadelphia, Pa., was in the city. He was here in the interest of his church work. The Recorder is looked upon as the mother of all Negro journals, and it is known that the A. M. E. Book Concern was the first launching out of Negroes in the printing business. Prof. Wright spent a deal of time in and about the city shaking hands with friends. The A. M. E. Connection has conferred much honor upon Prof. Wright, who is one of the ripest scholars of his Connection.

M. L. CLAY SHOT TO DEATH
CRIME COMMITTED IN COLD BLOOD
E. W. Johnson a Porter the Assailant.
HAD BEEN WAITING AN OPPORTUNITY TWO WEEKS—OLD GRUDGE .THE CAUSE—THREE SHOTS FIRED INTO VICTIM'S BODY—LIVED TWO AND A HALF HOURS—DEATH COMES TO RELIEVE SUFFERING AT CITY HOSPITAL—JOHNSON GLAD WHEN TOLD OF CLAY'S DEATH.
Special to the Globe:
Memphis, Tenn., November 6.—Mr. M. L. Clay, aged 50, residence 602 St. Paul street, one of the most prominent merchants in the city, was shot and fatally wounded at 2 o'clock today on Beale avenue by Edmond Winston Johnson, a porter, aged 26, residence 768 Linden avenue. Three shots were fired, two entering the abdomen and one the chest. The victim lived until 4:30 o'clock, when he died in the city hospital. His body was turned over to T. H. Hayes, the undertaker, who was talking to the victim when the shooting occurred.
The shooting took place in front of the drug store of George R. Jackson, 390 1-2 Beale avenue. Mr. Clay had just come out of the Solvent Savings Bank next door and met Mr. Hayes. Only a few words had passed before Johnson, who acknowledged that he was laying in wait for him, rushed up and began firing. After the third shot Johnson ran into the weeds in the rear of the drug store, and Mr. Clay fell to the sidewalk. He was picked up by Hayes and others and carried into the drug store and later removed to the city hospital in an ambulance. He died shortly after an operation had been performed.
The police station was notified immediately after the shooting and Motorcycle Policemen Hoyle and Addison were hurried to the scene by Capt. Couch and arrested and disarmed Johnson. When taken to the police station he admitted freely that he fired the shots and that he intended to kill Clay.
Had Waited for Chance.
He had been watching for the opportunity, he declared, for about two weeks. At that time he was arrested in Clay's saloon on Beale avenue. According to Patrolmen Laughter and Cleary, who made the arrest, Johnson had practically run amuck and had to be clubbed into submission. He blamed Mr. Clay for this arrest and clubbing and swore to get even. He smiled when tlod that Clay was dead and said: "I have got my revenge."
Mr. Clay was vice president of the Solvent Savings Bank, 390 Beale avenue, a substantial Negro institution. He had just come out of it when shot. He had a flour, grain and produce store at 160 South Second street, a grain and hay store at Butter avenue and South Front street, a big saloon and barbershop at Beale avenue and South Fourth street. Outside of his business relations he was prominent in many orders and societies in the city. He was treasurer of the Endowment Department of the Masonic State Grand Lodge, and a leader in all public affairs.
Mr. Clay came to Memphis a small boy just after the war with his father, who belonged to the Clays, wealthy planters near West Point, Miss. He gradually climbed up in business and was among the richest Negroes in the city. He leaves a family. In his cell at the police station after Johnson had cooled off somewhat, he was not willing to make his declaration as strong as he did when arrested for the crime. When told that it was a newspaper man he was talking to, he refused to make a statement at first, but finally, after some coaxing, told about the trouble. "I was drinking," he said, "or I would not have shot Clay. The trou- (Continued on Page 7)

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1911.
Election.
Tuesday of this week elections were held in many states and cities throughout the nation. Some calculations were upset, as is always the case, but as a whole the results were about what might have been expected. Looking the situation from both republican and democratic viewpoints, it is hard to see where either party can claim to have gained much advantage. It might as well be called a "dog fall." Some strange things happened it is true, but it came to both sides. Massachusetts elected a democratic governor, which was no surprise. Three cities in Ohio elected a democrat as mayor, and Kentucky went overwhelmingly democratic. Again Kansas elected a democratic congressman. All of these things are favorable to the democratic party, but on the other hand the democrats in Maryland failed to elect their governor, and the state of New York reversed back to the republican side.
These things indicate that the contest in 1912 will be stubbornly contested, and the outcome will depend largely upon the men the democratic party puts at the head of their ticket. But in twelve months, many strange things can happen, and they usually do on the eve of a national election.
The one feature of the whole affair that the Negroes of this country have cause to rejoice over was the defeat of the constitutional amendment in the state of Maryland. It shows what the black man can do if he will only try. It shows further that as the Negroes become land owners and men of affairs commercially, they get in a position to ward off these unconstitutional attempts to rob them of their liberties. We have watched with much interest the fight of the Negro press in that state, and if we had made a forecast, we would have predicted that the nefarious disfranchisement bill would be defeated, and now we take off our hats to Editor Murphy and all of those who helped to win the fight.
The Value of Character:
The most valued asset any one can have in this life is a good character. It is that attribute that cannot be made in a day nor destroyed in a day. No better illustration of this need be cited than the Booker Washington case. The unfortunate incident that happened between him and Ulrich in New York City was heralded broadcast with big head lines. The newspapers, as is their custom, published the story in a most sensational manner, simply because it made excitable reading; but at no time have the people of the country shown the least waver in their faith in Mr. Washington's integrity. No stronger proof of the worth of this man's good character need be cited than the expressions of two of the daily papers in this city. The Democrat had the following to say on the subject:
Ulrich beat up Booker Washington, but is declared not guilty for doing.
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1911
The noted Negro educator has borne an excellent reputation where best known, and this unfortunate incident should not be permitted to impair in the least his undoubted usefulness to his people and this section.
Speaking of the same matter, the Nashville Banner says:
It is fortunate that the Booker Washington accident didn't occur in the South. The trouble in which it has placed the noted Negro educator would all have been attributed to Southern race prejudice. As it is the South is entirely free from any complication in the matter. It is a very regrettable occurrence in any light light. Booker Washington has done a great and valuable work for his race in the South and anything that may impair his usefulness will be to the detriment of the South generally. This fact is in his favor: If his presence at the Ulrich place had been through improper motives he would hardly have disclosed his identity at the poele station. It was not necessary and he might have escaped undetected with the payment of a fine for disorderly conduct. Furthermore, he would not have prosecuted the suit against Ulrich.
His previous high standing is also strongly in his foyer.
struggle in his lawsuit. Dr. Washington has labored for more than twenty-five years in the South. He has gone on from day to day building a character. His labors have been the means of knocking the scales of ignorance and superstition from the eyes of many a poor black boy and girl, and his words of wisdom have convinced the most skeptical that it is worth while to educate all of the people that are to live together in the same country. With all this behind him, it is impossible to make the world believe that his visit to the house in New York City on the night of March 19th was for any other purpose than he has stated himself. The court went against him, but public opinion is with him, and that is mightier than all the courts in the land.
Voice From A Strange Land.
Voice From A Strange Land. The Marshall Gazette, published in one of our towns far removed from the scene of general activities, says the following anent our recent election:
According to the Nashville Democrat and the Nashville Globe, the latter a Negro sheet, the recent re-election of Mayor Howse and his ticket were elected by the combining of all the lawless elements of the city, aided by many good meaning people, the latter of whom voted for the ticket because they were swayed by their prejudices. As for the Negroes, gamblers and the keepers of various dives of the city they voted as they did because they know that Howse and his ticket stood for a wide-open town. No one can make us believe that all the lawless whites and Negroes of Nashville are Democrats, and yet without almost the solid vote of these elements I would not have been possible to elect Howse and his ticket, although Nashville is nominally a Democratic city of three to one.
The Gazette is correct when it says all the lawless whites and Negroes are not democrats; no, some of them are staunch republicans and some "what-nots." The Negro voters of Nashville are independent voters, and have the knowledge to chose the best men for public office. As to the white voters, well, the press feeder from the Gazette office could not be persuaded to come near Nashville and say all the white men who voted for Mayor Howse are gamblers and outlaws.

COMMUNICATION
Since the wide publicity gone through your columns that we are building a theatre for our people, there have been rumors of a saloon being either on or near the premises. Several men have offered me large money, in fact one $75 per month for one store, when we propose to get about one-third that amount. We told them, and publicly repeat it, that we would not rent any one of our stores for saloon purposes at $75 per minute. It is reported that parties are circulating petitions for signatures to an application allowing them to open a saloon next door to the theatre, and that they have leased the place for that purpose. We do not fight in the dark. It has never been our policy. There are now three saloons between 4th and 5th avenues on Cedar street. There will not be another one, is our confident belief. All that we can do to prevent it will be done, and as we own two-thirds or more of the block, pay more taxes than all other property owners by three times over, we can safely say that we shall be able to prevent any saloon being put in that block. Our people need a place of amusement. The prosperous business men who make a living off the race should promote such places for the race and not let our folks rubber neck as they do on Fifth avenue, block the sidewalk, peeping in where they are not wanted or needed; not let the peanut gallery be the only place they can go. As a man succeeding by the support of my people, I felt I owed them that much and am bending every energy to show them I am worthy of the respect of my people.
Just as the effort is about to be consummated, to allow any set of men to set up at the next door a saloon would be unmanly, and the people will not stand for it. There is not a saloon on Fifth avenue, where white ladies and children go to their shows and I know enough of the present administration to say that there will not be one on Cedar street where the Majestic Theatre will be.
We did not intend to make any mention of the place until we were ready to announce the date of opening, the company playing, etc., but on account of the activity of the rumors of the saloon talk and the anxiety of the people would this outrage be permitted, we are forced to this notice before making our announcement.

EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS.
THE NORTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE.
Last Saturday the editor visited Cartersville, Ga., to attend and see for himself the conditions existing in the North Georgia Conference of the A. M. E. Church of the State. In view of the Manning charges and many other things that were being said at the barber shops and on the street corners of the city, derogatory of the usefulness of Bishop Smith and the Church in general, and the widely advertised reports that the traveling ministers of the connection of Georgia were up in arms against the Bishop's tyranny, we were anxious to see at first hand, what were the relations existing between the Bishop and his preachers. We found conditions just to the contrary of the reports. We found harmony and enthusiasm existing throughout the Conference, no strife or dissension apparent in the body. There seemed to be one purpose prevalent among the preachers, and that was the raising of the Church claims and the promotion of the work of the Church in the State. The good Bishop was addressing the Conference when we went in, and the only thing that worried us was the enthusiastic and lusty cheers with which the preachers were greeting him at the end of each sentence. The Manning charges seemed to have gone a glimmering; nobody believed in them. In fact, we were impressed that Rev. Manning himself saw his error and admited that the charges were without grounds. It is believed that the grand old man has been imposed upon and is only a cat's-paw in the hands of other designing Church officials, to destroy the usefulness of Bishop Smith in order to make his return to the State for the next four years impossible. The Conference found the charges without foundation and contrary to the spirit of the Bible. The Church believes that Brother Manning is responsible, in joint with Brother Stinson, for the publication of the charges, and it is talked by the brethren of the Senior Bishop of the Church, both talked about and connived in the publication of the charges. As an evidence of the confidence and esteem with which the good Bishop is held in the diocese, the Conference unanimously voted, instructing its eight delegates to use their influence and all honorable means to effect the return of the good Bishop to our diocese for the next four years. The Conference also endorsed Rev. T. N. M. Smith, D. D., for Bishop at the General Conference, and pledged him its support and prayers. In short, the Conference was a success, its claims exceeding those for the last Conference year and harmony prevailed throughout the session.—Atlanta Independent.
THAT'S GRATITUDE
The only Negro holding a representative place under the bi-partisan form of our city government has been supplanted by a white man, and this too by the votes of the Republican members of the Board of Affairs. Stating it as mildly as possible, the act was an ungrateful one on the part of the members whose election was made possible by Negro votes, and one hardly calculated to make for Republican success hereabouts in the next election.—The Advocate.
TOO IMITATIVE.
The Southern Life Magazine, published in South Atlanta, Ga., complains that the Negro labor unions in Atlanta did not parade on Labor Day because they were not invited by the white labor unions to parade. This is the utmost folly. The white labor unions have no patent on Labor Day. Why not Negroes parade anywhere and at any time they want? if necessary let them invite the white labor unions to join them.
The policy of leaning and depending at all times on white people is suicidal. All this is like our starting little secret organizations with the same name white people have, every time we hear about white people starting some organization. Some years ago we heard that white men had started a Red Men's organization, and Negroes have imitated them by having a Red Men's order. Why not let Negroes have a Black Man's order? We need to assert a little more independence and a little more independent leadership.
TRIPOLL BACKGROUND.
Since the world began the arm of Italy has reached out into the Mediterranean to ward Africa, its finger pointing straight at Tripoli. Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Spaniards and Turks followed the suggestion of that finger in turn, but of them all only the Arab and the Turk remain. In every case a colonial empire was the mirage which beckoned to those land-hungry peoples from behind the golden haze which hangs over the African coastline, and in every case their African adventures ended in disappointment and disaster.

Undeterred by the recollection of her disastrous Abyssinian adventure, Italy is imbued with the idea, just as were ner powerful predecessors, that her commercial and political interests demand the extension of her dominion across the Middle Sea.
Ever since the purple sails of Phenicia first flaunted along its coast, the history of Tripolitania has been one of invasion and conquest. In the very dawn of history the galleys of Greece dropped anchor off this shore, in the belief that it was the garden of the Hesperides, and the vestiges of their colony of Cyrenica laure the archaeologists today. The Greeks retreated before Carthage's colonial expansion, and the Carthaginians gave way in turn to the conquering Romans, who, because of its three leagued cities of Oea, Sabrata and Leptis, named their new possession Tripolis, just as Decapolis signified the region of ten cities and Pentapolis of five. Christianity was scarcely four centuries old when the hordes of fierce-faced, skin-clad Vandals, sweeping down from their Germanic forests, over a decadent Italy and carried fire and sword and torture from end to end of the Mediterranean. Before another century had rolled around, however, Belasarius, the great captain of Byzantium, had broken the Vandal power forever, and the troubled land of Tripolitania once again came under the shadow of the cross. Then the wave of Arab conquest came, rolling across North Africa, until it broke upon the coasts of Spain, and supplanting the feeble Christianity of the natives of all this region with the vigorous and fanatical faith of Islam. Though Ferdinand expelling the Moors from Spain, continued his crusade against the infidel by capturing the Tripolitan capital the Knights of St. John, to whom he turned the city over, surrendered to the beleaguering Turks just as the sixteenth century had reached its turning-point, and Turkish it has remained, at least in name, ever since.—From "Tripolitania: The Italian 'White Man's Burden,'" in the American Review of Reviews for November.

HALLOWE'EN PARTY AT MRS. E.
M. DICKERSON'S.
Quite an enjoyable Hallowe'en party was given at the residence of Mrs. E. M. Dickerson. Her spacious residence was tastefully decorated with bats, owls, black cats, hobgoblins, witches and jack-o-the-lanterns. The program began by each gent drawing his luck from the book of fate which was held by Rachel Hambrick. The ladies read their future in necromantic glasses, fairy floats and a dumb supper. Exactly at midnight each lady's ghost began to walk, and was only changed back to a mortal by some gent guessing her name. The participants were Mesdames Hattie Scott, Jessie Hambrick, Maggie Mitchell, C. W. Brown, Misses Juanita Adams, Lamb, Eureka Martin, Cornelia Bailey, Sophie Foster, Marion Lewis, Emma T. Cheers, Bessie, Willie and Ella Cockrill, O'Neil Frazier, Westella Burns, Elnora Beaden, Minkle and Hattie Bramlette, Lula Clayton, Messrs. L. M. Tillman, P. Carrington, Ernest Young, E. L. Stephens, P. E. Fraser, J. E. George, J. W Belle, W. J. Browning, A. L. Fox R. P. Cummings, A. S. Nuis, G. A Drisdale, A. R. Penn. G. W. Johnson R. B. McArthur, J. W. Burney, J. S Scott, R. B. Pruett, F. Smith, Ruth Hambrick received at the door while Cerella Brown served the punch for the evening.
THE NONPARIEL ART CLUB.
The Nonpariel Art Club held its third annual exhibition of art at the home of Mrs. M. E. Bryant, South Market street, Tuesday, October 24th. For this occasion the Bryant home was brilliantly lighted and beautifully decorated in the club's colors, pink and green. After the guests assembled they were invited into the library, where the work done by the club during the year was on exhibition. Every member had prepared several pieces and every piece was indeed a work of art.
Passing back into the parlor the guests were seated, and Mrs. J. A. McMillan, the most charming president, in a few well chosen words reviewed the work of the club and introduced one representative from each of the other clubs of the city. Each responded most graciously. A delightful two-course menu was served, after which each "madame" presented her husband with a little token; and the guests departed, each wishing that "club birthdays come weekly instead of yearly."
HALLOWE'EN ENTERTAINMENT
Mr. and Mrs. Fox and Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes gave a Hallowe'en entertainment at the residence of N. Moores. The home was decorated with pumpkins heads, with their glaring eyes and grotesque faces. As the night was fastly fading away and the guests began to come in, every one was presented a cap and horn to recall their minds back to those days that the dryads had celebrated. The witches told the fortune of many, which was full of fun.
There was a contest that created a deal of enthusiasm during the night. At a late hour the goblins came and each one went away quietly to their homes. There was a three-course menu, which was served a la carte.
Those present were; Misses Mattie L. Allen, Willie M. Early, E. B. Northern, Noble Satterfield, Lula B. Northern, Bessie Satterfield, E. M. Akins, Della K. Ray, E. Powell Bond, E. Satterfield, Eddie Ray, Willie Hendrix, Julia Granberry, B. S. Scruggs, Estella Cummins, Leslie Allen, Ephenia Moore and R. Stockard.

CARUTHERS—HILL
Beautiful and impressive in its simple solemnization was the marriage of Miss Janie A. Hill and Mr. Eugene P. Caruthers at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Hill, Tuesday, October 31st, at 8 ficiating.
The nuptial music was charmingly rendered by Mrs. Mary Saunders and the wedding party entered the parlor to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march, being led by Miss Bessie Rhodes, a cousin of the bride. While the groom was attended by Mr. S. H. Rhodes, followed the bride and her father, Mr. P. A. Hill.
The bride was becomingly gowned in a white embroidery robe elaborately trimmed in lace and carried white carnations.
Mesdames Rhodes and Smith, assisted by Mis Lovie V. Blake received the guests.
Following the ceremony the guests enjoyed an informal reception. The wedding presents were numerous and costly, thus attesting the undisputable popularity of the contracting parties. The groom is the son of one of the oldest families of Maury County. The bride descended from an honorable ancestry whose name is a household name in Nashville and Middle Tennessee.

Y M L CLUB
"The Great Men of the Negro Race." This subject has been discussed at great length, and at various intervals, but in the capacity in which our president, Mr. Kinzer handled it, but few have ever heard. In merits of greatness, said Mr. Kinzer: "A great man is one who gives his life for his race," personating Booker T. Washington, the Moses of our race, for an example, he also mentioned others of less importance. The speaker so thoroughly portrayed the fundamental principles of greatness that routed the very curals of our minds to who, of our race save Booker T. Washington, is great, and so the subject was converted in our minds to the great man of the Negro race." Other numbers of the program were "Tom O'Shanter," by Mr. Winston, and a "Solo," by Mr. J. E. Johnson. The club then partook of a tasty luncheon prepared by the hostess. Visitors at luncheon were Mrs. Dr. Hadley and Mr. Graves. Meeting adjourned to meet with Mr. Jas. Johnson at Young's Hotel, Cedar street.
VISITING MINISTERS SERVED DINNER.
Mr. Mon Martin, of McMinnyille, gave a dinner Thursday evening at Young's Hotel in honor of a few of th eelders and doctors attending the Tennessee Annual Conference at St. Paul. A dinner of several courses was served. The dining-room was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and ferns. Those to enjoy the dinner were Elders J. H. Smith, Jackson, N. P. Greggs and Drs. J. A. Jones, H. A. Stevens, D. A. R. Johnson and Ottaway Rich, of McMinnville.
NASHVILLE CHORAL SOCIETY. The Nashville Choral Society in its work is surpassing the fondest hopes of its projectors. It is growing steadily and substantially, and is doing supurb work in its study. The music from Arthur W. Tams Co., in New York, has come and some of the selections are about learned; nothing now remains but the shading and finishing. The society at present has between seventy-five and one hundred voices, for the most part, well-trained. The larger portion of the singers are fine music readers, making it unnecessary to spend much time upon the rudimentary aspect of singing, and indications point to a first-class and artistic concert when the society makes its debut to the Nashville public. It is a permanent organization which has entered upon the execution of broad plans which will undoubtedly form a large part of the life of Nashville. With a view of making it as representative as possible, as well as effective, the management is desirous of enlarging the chorus to two hundred and fifty voices, and extends a hearty invitation to all who can sing and read music to join the organization.
Applications for membership may be sent or presented to any one or
the following: Messrs. H. A. Comeron,
T. B. Hardiman, S. S. Caruthers,
A. G. Price, J. I. Watson, W. E. Washington,
Mesdames T. Clay Moore, R. A. Camron, J. D. Ballentyne, C. O. Hadley, Laura Allen, Misses Hattie Caruthers, Lady Emma Phillips and Eva Green.

At an adjourned meeting of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which was held Tuesday, in the office of the Secretary, 523 Second avenue. North, a forecast of what the board intended to do for the ensuing twelve months with a well outlined campaign was agreed upon. At this meeting, Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., of Little Rock, Ark., chairman of the Home Mission Board, presided, which is the courtesy usually shown him in the annual meeting by chairman Clark. The most important part of the work transacted was the adoption of the reports of the several committees, namely: on Sunday-School Work, on Missionaries and on Publications. Secretary Boyd brought before the board quite an elaborate report of the Publishing work. Three members, whose term expired in October, were elected as were all of the old officers. The Board went into an elaborate discussion of the work of the denomination at Key West, Fla., and on the Canal Zone in Panama, where it holds some

valuable property for the Home Mission Board. Chairman Clark said after the meeting was over that it was the determination of the denomination to not only hold these strategic points that the Baptists had gained through timely actions, but to increase the work and workers. Plans were agreed upon by which the denomination is going to be asked to set aside a special day as a National Rally to raise funds for the erection of the much needed churches of the Island of Key West and on the Canal Zone in Panama. Chairman Clark said that Rev. R. H. Thorbourne has made splendid progress on the Zone in Panama. The report of Secretary Boyd to the Convention showed that three churches had been organized and built on the Zone in three years, in addition to this a parsonage well equipped had been erected.
The membership of the National Baptist as shown in this report had increased to nearly four hundred. The Rev. Mr. Thorbourne was in Nashville a year ago and took from the city a Miss Bessie Martin as his wife—thus Nashville is looked upon as his headquarters. Another matter coming up for discussion was the Sunday-School Congress, which will be disposed of at a special meeting next Tuesday.

Prof. T. P. Turner made a flying
trip to Memphis to attend the Eidow-
‘ment Board meeting of the G. U. 0.
0. F.M, the 4th inst, The full
Board was present, consisting of the
following members: Prof, George W.

user; Prof. T. P. Turner, D. G. Sec-
retary; Dr. ©. ©. Hunter, Grand
Medical Examiner. Prof. W 8.

was present and made his final re
port and turned over the balanceof the
books and papers in his possession.
Over four thousand dollars was col-
lected for the first quarter and the
‘Order showed progress along all
Jines. The death rate was not so
lieavy as heretofore. ‘The meeting
was quite a harmonious and peacefui
one. Not @ cross word or anything
along that line was eyen indicated,
Everyone seemed to have the interest
of the order above any individual.
The retiring secretary, Prof, W. 8.
‘Thompson, assured his successor that
his heart and hand would be ever
ready to assist him in any way tq
do good work for the Order. The D.
G. Secretary, Brother T, P. Turner,
and the Endowment Secretary, Bro,
Crawford, assured the retiring Sec-
retary that they were thankful to
him for services and felt duty bound
to respect him for the same and that
the most cordial relations existea.
At 4 p. m. Brother Hayes, the noted
wealthy undertaker, came over to 374
S. Driver street and took the entire
Board for a drive, ‘and after visiting
several places in the city he ¢arried
us around the speedway of 18 miles,
The scenery was very beautiful. The
C. M. E. Conference has just closed a
most successful session here last
Sunday night, with Bishop C. H. Phir
Tips presiding. The Bishop's dangn-
ter, Miss Emma, presided over the
women’s department in tne absence
of her mother, who is indisposea.
Preaching was held on Sunday at the
Opera House, when quite a crowd as-
sembled to hear the sermons of Rey.
Jones and P. J. Coleman, M. D. Rey.
8. L. MeGee, who has successfully pas-
tored Black's Chapel for the past two
years, has been sent to Savannah,
Tenn. While the appointment is a
promotion for Rev. McGee, personally
we feel that it is quite a loss to Black’s
Chapel. Rev, McGee has made a suc-
cess in pastoring here, and has raised
the small membership of ten two
years ago to 451. He seemed at all
times wide awake to the needs of the
church, and always kept doing some-
thing to interest his church and con-
gregation. The new pastor who suc-
ceeds Rev. MeGee is Rev. A. D. Shel-
ton. Rey. J. M. Gentry has just re-
turned fom Alabama where he has
been to fill his pastoral appointments
in his church in that state. Miss
Delphia Meredith, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. D. H. Meredith, of North
End, fell and hurt her hip, from which
she suffered a deal. She is some bet-
ter at this writing. Rev, Geo. R.
Norman, the popular pastor of Camp-
bell’s Chapel A. M. E. Church, who
has successfully served his fourth
year has been sent to Shelbyville for
the next year. His many friends
here regret to lose him, He has been
succeeded by Rev. A. Brooks, who
formerly pastored at St. John, Nash-
ville, and recently at Columbia. Rev.
Brooks is a great preacher and we
nave been informed of his high char-
acter, that he comes to us with a clean
record and at his own pleasure to do
so. Rey. D. Howard is all smiles
since his friends has so liberally
contributed to his one hundred dollar
rally, The final count has not been
made, but the receipts, when all are
in, will exceed the one hundred dol
lars asked for. Beulah Baptist
Church is progressing nicely under
his management. They were surpris-
ed to hear of the donations given by
the Endowment Board in Memphis,
as reported by Brother Turner, one
of the captains.

Mrs. J. C. Caldwell was the hostess
of an interesting and well attendea
meeting of the Fleur-de-Lis Art Club

After disposing of the business, each
member present answered to the roll
call with quotations, The program
for the afternoon opened with a voca:
solo, “A Quaker Love Song,” sung by
Mrs. W. R. Baker, A most interest-
ing feature of the day’s programme
was the discussion, “Does It Pay to be
Systematic in Housekeeping?” The
affirmative side was taken by Mrs. 8.
P. Harris, and the negative by Mrs.
N. H. Pius. The subject was freely
discussed by those able leaders, each
giving her point clearly from her
point of view, The judges, who were
the visiting ladies present, gave their
decision in favor of the negative side,
represented by Mrs. Plus. ‘The pro-
gramme closed with D'Hardelot’s “Be-
cause,” sung by Mrs, Cameron, » Rey.
J. C. Caldwell, an honorary member
of the club, was introduced by the

in each sermon. Hallowe'en was celebrated Tuesday night of last week by an "unknown" Hallowe'en Party of all ages of both sexes. Roasted chestnuts popped into laps of several lovers; the pumpkin jack-o-lanterns were very conspicuous because of their number and the variety of colors of candles, the sepulchral ghosts accompanied by their lights made the hair rise on one's head, and depredations committed. Rev. W. B. Gibbs, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, was returned to that congregation. Dr. W. J. Astrapp was in Chattanooga recently and witnessed Sunday's devotional of the A. M. E. Zion Conference. Rev. W. S. Hyatt was returned to the congregation of the M. E. Church as pastor another year. This is Rev. Hyatt's third year as pastor nere. Rev. T. Y. Moore, presiding elder of the Chattanooga District of the A. M. E. Church, will hold his first quarterly meeting for this conference year at this place next Sunday, November 12. The public is cordially invited to hear him. Miss Douglass, of Wartrace, niece of Prof. Douglass, is here for an indefinite period. To the surprise of several friends Rev. W. S. Hight seemed to have gone into the matrimonial business on his recent visit to Washington, D. C. We have not been informed just where, when or by whom the nuptial knot was tied, but anyhow, his bride, Miss Lydia A. Hawkins, reached here this week, and Rev. and Mrs. Hight are now at home to their members and friends at the residence of Mr. and Mrs J. D. Martin. Rev. Wm. Simmons preached two interesting sermons at the Mt. Bethlehem Baptist Church last Sunday. This is Rev. Simmons'eighth year to pastor this people. Rev. Mr. Hadden is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett Cummings. Dr. Astrapp and Miss J. A. Lightfoot were the guests of Mrs. J. J. M. Hawkins recently. Mr. and Mrs. Carrol Hawkins and Miss Douglass, of Wartrace, were the guests of Prof. and Mrs. H. B. Douglass last Sunday. Summe it to say that the table was laden with the viands of the season. Mr. A. J. Heldrige is out of town a deal of the time. Prof. F. C. Greer, of Jasper, was seen on our streets last week. Miss Carrie Cummings is the champion speller in the city public school. Miss Lela Griffin enjoys the same honor at the Richard City public school.

METTS DEATH IN ALABAMA.
In correspondence just received from Luke Williams, whose address is Slope 12, Pratt City, Ala., the following was received:
"Pratt City, Ala., Oct. 23, 1911.
"To Whom It May Concern:
This is to certify to the people that Henry Collins was killed here in the mines on the 20th of October. He was a prisoner here, having been detained to work in this mine. He is supposed to have people in Nashville. it is claimed that an uncle, whose name is Bill Oglesby, as best as can be remembered, lives in Nashville. We are asking that the Nashville Globe publish this so that if any of his relatives hear of this calamity they can know of his death.
Yours truly,
"LUKE WILLIAMS,
"Slope 12, Pratt City, Ala."
M. L. CLAY SHOT TO DEATH.
(Continued from Page 1)
ble started about two weeks ago, when I was working in a pressing club near Clay's saloon on Beale avenue. Clay and another man were quarrelling in the saloon, and when I went up and wanted to know what the trouble was Clay threatened to have me arrested. I said that I had done nothing. He called in Patrolmen Cleary and Laughter and asked them to arrest me. I contended that I had done nothing. Patrolman Cleary struck me twice on the head with his club and sent me to the police station in the patrol wagon. I put up a ten dollar forfett, and was not able to go to trial the next day, and it was declared against me."
When asked if he was not a witness against L. Pacini, Beale avenue, for running a policy game, Johnson admitted that he was, but denied the trouble had anything to do with gambling. He stated that he had worked near Clay's place for some time, but never knew of his having any sort of a game except billiards and pool. He said that he worked for Levy and McCarver at the Park hotel as porter. Johnson is the main witness against L. Pacini, who is under indictment on the charge of running a policy game. Many unsuccessful efforts have been made to have the case set for trial. The charge is that Johnson bought a policy ticket from Pacini at the P-Wee saloon which gigged, but that Pacini would not pay him.

THE GREATEST GAME I EVER SAW.
Being called upon to describe the greatest colored football game I ever saw is a pretty hard problem. But to my mind the team (which incidentally comes to play Meharry Saturday at Athletic Park) was Talladega College and Fisk University the combatants. The game was played in 1803, and on neutral grounds, being played in the city of Birmingham. I wish to say, however, to the credit of Fisk, she had played Tuskegee only two days previous to that, but what does that matter with such players as Dick Hubbard, Marques, Sesson, Steele and such football stars as Fisk University had that year. The game was played when only five yards to gain in the downs, our memorial Terrible Terry of Meharry, was full back for Talladega, and to him goes the play for making it the greatest game I ever saw.
The day was an ideal one for a football game and the grand stand at Westside Park put one in mind of Athletic Park on Thanksgiving day between Meharry and Fisk. Fisk won the toss, and kicked off to Talladega, Steele kicking about fifty yards. Terry received the ball and returned about thirty yards. Talladega carried the ball by straight line plunges and hurdle play to Fisk's twenty-yard line. There Fisk held like a stone wall and received the ball on downs. Fisk with ball in their possession. By hard runs with the great Marques and Sessons carrying the ball, rushed to Talladega's tenyard line, to be held for downs by the impregnable line of Talladega. The ball went from first one side to the other and the ball called in Fisk possession on her 45-yard line after first 35 minutes of play. This being Talladega's second game away from home and being beat by Atanta University 17 to 6, and to hold such a team as Fisk University this way in first half gave them bull dog tenacity to play second half.
Second half opened with the ball being kicked off by Talladega to Fisk University, which returned it to midfield, there to lose it on a fumble. Talladega by straight line plunges being unable to touch Fisk's ends at all, carried the ball to Fisk's eight

yard line for first down, with goal to gain. Grandstand went wild, looking for Talladega to touch down, but to be denied by great warriors of Fisk who held Talladega on her own one-yard line; ball going to Fisk. Steele was called upon to punt out of danger, but the Terrible Terry like a flash broke through the line and blocked the kick and Dick Hubbard, Fisk's minute quarter, fell on the ball and Talladega received a safety of two points, with only twelve more minutes to play. It seemed a sure victory for Talladega as its line was holding same as a stone wall. As Fisk's only gains were around ends, Fisk chose to receive the ball and Talladega kicked off. Fisk by end runs managed to work to the 25-yard line, with only three more minutes to play, made two attempts to gain but without any success, and being third down. The great Steele, to redeem himself, dropped back to the 35-yard line and made a place kick. Everyone was held breathless while the ball sailed straight through the upright bars and snatched victory from a seemingly sure defeat, making four points for Fisk, thus ending the game Fisk four, Talladega two. The greatest game I ever saw. Prof. Robinson, of Oberlin, was coaching Fisk, and Prof. DeCatur, now of Howard University, was coaching Talladega.

PROF. CARL DITON AT FISK
UNIVERSITY
It is conceded on all sides that the highest and most classical piano rectal ever heard in the Memorial Chapel of Fisk University, which has entertained some of the most celebrated musicians of this and foreign countries, took place last Friday evening, November 3. The center figure of this plano-forte recital was Prof. Carl R. Diton, formerly of Philadelphia, Penn., who has just returned from abroad. He has been studying at the great conservatory at Munich, Bavaria. His appearance had been looked for, as he was booked for this night since February, when through the columns of the Nashville Globe it was stated that he would put Nashville on his itinerary, as he is to return to studies in the early fall. This
in Nashville. Something more than a year ago, he appeared at the Meharry Auditorium, but on this occasion he seemed to have brought into play all of his musical genius, as well as bringing from abroad much of that that has never been heard in Nashville, Tenn. To every number he was compelled to respond to encores. He captivated his audience so much that even at the close of the program the splendid musical talent present refused to admit that the end had come. The following is the program,
