NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V1. MAYOR'S AN- NUAL MESSAGE RECEIVED BY THE CITY FATHERS EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT ....DISCUSSED—MANY IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDED—CITY HOSPITAL ADDITION—INCREASE IN SALARIES ASKED FOR—TEXT-BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS—PARKS AND LIBRARY FOR NEGROES—SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS TOWARD ALL. Mayor Howse's annual message to the City Council, submitted Friday night, follows: To the Honorable City Council—Gentlemen: I desire to express my confidence in the ability of the present City Council to perform all duties and meet all obligations pertaining to their respective offices with credit to themselves and profit to the great City of Nashville. It is my duty as Mayor of this city, and a privilege which has been uniformly embraced by all of my worthy predecessors in office to submit an annual message to the Honorable City Council recounting those improvements and reforms which have been instituted and accomplished in the year just drawing to a close and outlining the work that we as public officials and servants of all the people hope to accomplish in the year upon which we are to enter. It should be our purpose to strengthen and extend the facilities of each and every department of the city government commensurate with the demands of a growing, thriving city, an dto exert every energy in our power to give the citizens who have honored us with their suffrage, a clean, honest and efficient city government. Economy should be at all times practiced in the expenditure of public funds, but whenever it is found that greater efficiency and more substantial benefits can be accomplished by an increased expenditure then and only then should the increase in appropriation be granted in any department of the city government. I have always stood for and advocated a liberal compensation for working people, believing as I do that fair wages and good treatment produces the best results but whenever an increase in wages is granted to any department of the city government those officials responsible for granting the increase should be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the efficiency of the department would increase in the same ratio as the increase in wages. In my annual message sumbitted to the Honorable City Council on Nov. 2*, 1910, the bonded indebtedness of the city of Nashville was given in detail, with the assets and liabilities of the city, showing the annual interest on the outstanding bonds and clearly demonstrating the fact that the city's excess of assets over all of its liabilities amounted to $6,431,000. Public Schools. I am gratified to announce that my recommendation on my previous annual message to the City Council in reference to paying teachers both white and colored, in our public schools twelve months in the year has, through a wise and progressive Board of Education and City Council, been carried to a successful conclusion, and I come to you in the closing days of this year with other recommendations of equally, if not greater importance to the continued welfare of our magnificent public school system. Many progressive American cities have tried the experiment of furnishing free text-books to the children in certain grades with a degree of success, which cannot be overlooked by officials and citizens who desire to promote the cause of education and make it possible for the poorest and most friendless children to be found anywhere took advantage of the benefits of the public schools, which are maintained at public expense for NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1911 all alike. When this important measure was before the Honorable Board of Education, one member of said board, with more wisdom in his head and less charity in his heart, advanced the piece of astounding information that if this measure was put into execution it would necessarily cause more children to attend school and thereby make it necessary to erect more school houses and appropriate more money for the maintenance thereof. If free text-books furnished to poor, friendless children who are unable to purchase them will bring about this condition, then I will be entirely willing to shoulder all of the responsibility and take all of the censure connected with instituting this innovation in the public schools of the city of Nashville. No child should be subjected to the humiliation of having its parents make andavit that it is a pauper before it is admitted to the public schools of this city, and while a very small per cent might unjustly profit by this reform, thousands of poor children will be substantially benefited; therefore I recommend that the Honorable City Council appropriate the necessary funds to purchase text-books for all children in the "First B Grades" of the public schools of the cit yof Nashville. Work on the new High School is progressing satisfactorily to the Board of Education and the time is not far distant when Nashville will possess the most magnificent and best enlapped High School south of the Ohio River. Sidewalks. The people of the city of Nashville acted with great wisdom and foresee when they voted a $50,000 bond issue for the construction of granitoid concrete sidewalks, and during THE GLOBE'S CHRISTMAS NUMBER. On account of the great success attained last year the Nashville Globe has decided to put out another Christmas number. It will be remembered that the last Christmas number was in colors, 24 pages. 10,000 extras were printed. It was given a wide circulation and was without doubt one of the record-breaking efforts of any secular paper published by the race. Plans are already completed for the bringing out of the Christmas number on December 8th. MEHARRY BEATS TALLADEGA IN STUBBORN CONTEST. Saturday, November 11th, at Athletic Park, Meharry and Talladega played what ought to be termed a first-class football game. To be sure there were fumbles and fouls, and upon two occasions the game was stopped to consult the rules, but everything was done in a sportsman-like spirit and there was a delightful absence of undue roughness, and if there was any slugging, nobody outside of the players could detect it. There was hard and daring playing galore, some times spectacular and magnificent. Taken all in all, it was, as stated before, a first-class game, and the spectators and officials all felt that among our Negro colleges the spirit of the true sportsman has been evolved. The teams were quite fairly matched, with Meharry having the advantage in weight and experience, both of which told greatly in their favor. The most notable features of the game were the following: At one time Meharry and Talladega about one foot from the latter's goal line and tried several times to carry the ball over, hurling her powerful backs like calapults against, the opposing line, but three times did the stalwart boys from Talladega stand firm and beat back the charges. It was as fine a piece of defensive football as any man would care to see. Another notable feature was the fickleness of fortune in the kicking of Zubar. Four times he attempted goals from the field and three times missed by a few inches and only once did he put the oval between the uprights. Zubar is a fine kicker. Another feature was the perfectly dazzling run of 45 yards of Matison, Meharry's left end, to a touchdown, under the escort of the finest and most approved interference furnished by Canady and Zubar. It was a perfect piece of work. Then there was Brown, right tackle, who was a whole host in stopping the onslaught against his side of the line. His defense was worth going miles to see. He plays a different game from his teammate, Canady, on the left, who smashes into the opponents and breaks up their plays and is also a good ground gainer, while Brown's great value lies (Continued on Page 8) Supreme Court of Nation Must Decide ORDER HAS DONE NOBLE WORK FOR HUMANITY—THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PAID TO WIDOWS AND ORPHANS—RELIEF TO SICK CONSTANTLY—OTHER SOUTHERN STATES HAVE STOOD BY NEGROES—SOME CASES BEFORE HIGH COURT NOW—OFFICIALS NOT DAUNTED—PEOPLE WILL STAND BY ORDER. The Knights of Pythias it is understood will carry their case to the United States Supreme Court. Thye are not daunted by the recent decision of the Court of Appeals, believing their course to be a just one, they will secure the best legal talent available and go before the court of last resort with every prospect of winning. It will be remembered that during the sitting of the Grand Lodge in Nashville the white Pythians sought an injunction from Judge Allison on the Chancery Court of Davidson County, restraining the Negro Pythians from "using the ritual, wearing the button, pin, insignia, or using the name Knights of Pythias." Abel counsel was employed which, made a valiant fight before the Chancery Court, but Chancellor Allison's decision was adverse to the colored Pythians. An appeal was then taken to the Court of Civil Appeals, which on last Saturday sustained the lower court. Thereupon plans are perfected to carry the suit to the United States Courts, where it will be brought to a finish. Georgia had a case similar to their Tennessee brethren. They, too, employed good lawyers, carrying all the state's courts only to be ruted against. Not to be outdone, these plucky Georgians have their case at present awafting adjudication by the Supreme Court of the United States. In West Virginia an attempt was made to put out of business not only the Negro Pythians, but all other orders founded by white men. This scheme however met with a strong and vehement protest from all the leading Negroes and many influential white men. The result was the thing died aborning. In Mississippi, the state where every one thought the legislature would gladly embrace the opportunity to legislate against Negro secret societies, the law-making bodies refused to entertain the question. It can be readily seen from the above that the Negro Pythians are not dead yet, but have high hopes of a long and useful career. This order has done incalculable good to all communities where it exists. It makes its membership respect law and authority. Its leaders are always on the right side of all moral questions. The Negro Knights of Pythias have spent thousands of dollars in caring for its widows and orphans; they have property valued at nearly a million dollars; they do good in every township. It would be a crime to stop them after years of usefulness. This order is found in every Negro settlement, trying to make men and women thrifty and useful citizens of the country. The Supreme Lodge with W. S. Green at its head is doing all that can be done to make the institution one to be desired by all right-thinking men. The Grand Lodge of Tennessee with J P. Crawford, Grand Chancellor, is doing the same thing so far as this state is concerned. The order has among its membership bankers, lawyers, doctors, mechanics, farmers and the laboring man. It boasts of having men of wealth and brain, and the very best type of Negro manhood are among its most ardent devotees. The Negro order does not desire to make itself objectionable to any white organization, and to that end its members are told that they are separate and apart from white lodges, having no desire to do this is proverbial of all Negro Pythians. Pending a final decision the organization in this state will go right ahead setting up new lodges and increasing the membership in the old ones. It cannot be definitely said when the case will be decided, as the Supreme Court of the United States is behind with its work and it may be months or even several years before the case is reached. In the end if the case should go against the Negro some way will be found to continue the organization under a different name. Grand Medical Register not Alarmed Grand Medical Register not Alarmed. Dr. A. M. Townsend, Grand Medical Register, says: "The decision as given was expected. Through the dim vista of the present I see yet a ray of hope. This ray of hope comes from the fact that the Georgia case has been resting so long in the Supreme Court. Though it be that these shocks and reverses have come to us, somehow, I have faith yet in Pythianism. In the midst of it all my heart rejoices when I see that the face of Pythianism is yet to the morning, and from reports that daily come into this office from over the state, its intrepid legions are still marching to the drum roll, undaunted by the piercing of bullets or the scorch of the powder from the cannon's mouth. That again, our confidence in our leadership is such that we rest contented in the belief that, whatever way our case may eventually be decided, the situation will be mastered. We are going to work on therefore, and continue to d'spell darkness from sad homes, to provide shelter for the widows, to wipe the tears of the fatherless, to check the bleeding of lacerated hearts, to assuage the sufferings of a brother, to bury the dead, believing that all things work together for good of them that love the Lord. SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION WILL EXIST The regular meeting of the Sunday-School Union of the Baptist Sunday-schools of Nashville was held with the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church at three clock last Sunday. The subject for discussion was, "Shall the Sunday-School Union Exist?" The subject was opened by Henry A. Boyd. after which it was discussed by the following superintendents: S. H. Johnson of Pleasant Green; Mr. Crawford, of West Nashville; N. Wilkins, from Summer Street; Rev. T. J. Lewis, of Mt. Olive; W. C. Sheffield, from Hawkins Street; J. B. Ridley, from Mt. Olive, and Rev. George Dickson, of Good Hope. More than twenty superintendents were present at the meeting. The attendance upon this occasion was unusually large, notwithstanding the inclement weather. It was the unanimous opinion of all that and it was expressed by a rising vote, that the Sunday-School Union must and shall exist. SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONGRESS WILL MEET AT TUSKEGEE IN 1912. At a meeting of the Boards, which have direct charge of the Sunday-school and young people's work or the National Baptist Convention, held in this city, it was decided that the seventh annual session of the Sunday-School Congress should meet at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., thereby accepting from a vast number of invitations offered by some of the leading convention cities of the United States the one extended by Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. At this meeting, which was held in the office of the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and which was presided over by Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., of Little Rock, Ark., full expressions were made concerning the great success that has crowned every meeting of this Congress Movement Among the places that have entertained the Sunday-School Congress during the past six years have been New Orleans, Nashville, twice, Jacksonville, Fla., Atlanta, Ga., and Meridian, Miss., but the indications are that the Tuskegee entertainment will be more elaborate and that the meeting will be more largely attended than heretofore. The time of the meeting has been fixed by the Boards as the first week in June. The meeting is to open on the first Wednesday in June, remaining in session for six days, which will include Monday of the following week. Letters and communications were presented at the Board's meeting, showing the deep interest manifested throughout every section of the country in the Congress Movement. The Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress, Henry A. Boyd, presented a report, showing that nine hundred eighty-one schools were represented at the Meridian meeting. Some of these schools were very small, but the interest was as great with them as it was with the large schools. Tuskegee Institute will be a bee-hive of Congress workers, as they will go to Tuskegee from every portion of the United States. No. 45 IN RAILROAD WRECK ON L. & N. WERE RETURNING FROM CONFERENCE AT MEMPHIS—HEAD ON COLLISION NEAR BROWNSVILLE—MIRACULOUS ESCAPE—SEVEN HOURS WITHOUT FOOD—ROUGH DEAL BY THE RAILROAD OFFICIALS — HAD TO WALK GREAT DISTANCE—INHUMAN TREATMENT INDESCRIBABLE. Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary-Treasurer of the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union publishing house in this city, and Dr. C. V. Roman, the noted specialist and editor of the National Medical Association Journal, both had a close call for their lives Thursday morning, the 9th inst., while returning from Memphis, Tenn., where they had been in attendance to the West Tennessee Conference of the A. M. E. Church. While going at a lively clip a southbound train smashed into the northbound train that leaves Memphis at 8:40 p. m. The collision was terrific and it is a wonder that more lives were not lost. The engineer on the northbound train was killed and the fireman maimed for life. The crew on the southbound jumped and were unhurt. The catastrophe, it is said, was the result of the engineer of the southbound train not obeying orders. When seen by a Gloe representative Mr. Bryant and Dr. Roman both looked weak and careworn. Mr. Bryant's face was cut in several places and while he was out of bed it was evident that the man was suffering intense pain. Dr. Roman was getting about with much difficulty. When the collision occurred Mr. Bryant was in the closet. It was night. The impact knocked him unconscious and put out the lights, when he regained consciousness he did not have strength to open the door. Dr. Roman was thrown across the car and was not able to collect his wits for a long time as to the whereabouts of his companion. Finally he made it known that a man was in the closet and the door was opened and Mr. Bryant was taken out. Very little attention was given them and for seven long hours they were there in agony, which was made more terrible by the darkness. That section of the country is swampy and sparsely populated and it was not until the dawn of morning that a sign of relief could come to these two suffering men. They were told by the trainmen if they would walk to Brownsville, about three miles away, they could catch the train back to Memphis, knowing at the time that the train referred to did not stop there. As an evidence that they were passengers one of the trainmen scratched on a dirty slip of paper these words: "Take two niggers to Memphis." They did not return to Memphis, but came on home as best they could. At breakfast time no food was offered Mr. Bryant and Dr. Roman, and not until a protest was made to the conductor did they offer to give them succor, and then the food was so long coming other arrangements had been made. Mr. Bryant and Dr. Roman reached Nashville Friday afternoon, several hours behind time, and it was not until then did their relatives and friends know of the horrible tortures they had been subjected to. DEATH OF REV. D. A. GADDIE Louisville, Ky., Nov. 14.—Rev. D. A. Gaddie, D. D., the oldest minister, both in age and point of service, in this part of Kentucky, died at his home here last night.

MAYFIELD, Solicitor for Complainant. BUYS MORE BANK STOCK. Evidence of his profound belief that the South is going to make good, is shown by the fact that Mr. C. A. Dickson, of Buffalo, N. Y., is increasing his holdings in four or the leading financial institutions of the South, namely: The One Cent Savings Bank, The People's Savings Bank of Nashville, and the Solvent Savings Bank, of Memphis, and the Alabama Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, Ala. Arrangement for the purchase of this stock was made through the Compiler of the National Negro Bank Directory, who resides in this city. GATHERING THE HARVEST. The revival services of the Mount Olive Baptist Church, which was in progress for just one week, closed Sunday night. Dr. Clark, the pastor, stated that while the meeting was closing early, he would no doubt open his spring rally with well-laid plans for his usual twenty-days' meetings, and while the number of additions to the church from this past revival was not as large as heretofore, the meeting was a splendid success. Mrs. Humphrey Maddox left for Chattanooga Saturday after a three weeks' stay in this city. Mr. J. D. Harris, formerly of Lebanon but now of East St. Louis, Ill., was here this week.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1911. Nashville Offers Opportunity. Many things have been suggested under the above slogan, but happily there is no sign of exhaustion, and we venture to point out one more opportunity the Negro Contractors of Nashville are allowing to drift further and further from them. Negroes are buying property at a rapid rate, in fact the oldest citizens cannot recall the day when there were as many beautiful homes owned by Negroes in this city. They are building good substantial houses, some frame, some brick, and some stone; in fact Negroes are building houses of every kind of material to be had. They have to pay for the material they use, and the opportunity offered is to the Negro contractors in this city. There are many of them, and if they would establish a builders' supply company it would be a step in the march of permanent progress. Negro contractors are often embarrassed when attempting to make bids, because they are not in position to get the lowest prices on material, and these embarrassments will become more constant and drastic with time. The only medium through which relief may be hoped for is competition. Men in business will always treat with a competitor, but the fellow who is looking for a favor will have to accept what is given. Competition does not mean equality in capitalization. One company may be a million dollars strong and the other less than a hundred thousand, but they will be competitors in the truest sense of the word, and the million dollar man will treat with the little fellow in the same spirit that he does with the competitor of his equal in wealth. Young Negroes must accept these conditions and prepare to meet them, or the opportunities to do business will fly over their heads higher than the clouds. England and the United States are keeping a close watch on the progress of the war in China, and Japan is not alseep. There is little hope for universal peace so long as there is as much territory as the Chinese Empire to scrap over. Mayor's Message. In the message submitted to the City Council Friday night of last week, Mayor Howse makes a clean cut statement of conditions in this city and makes some timely suggestions, which, if carried out, will be of untold benefit to every citizen in this municipality. The Mayor shows plainly that he is the Mayor of all the people. His recommendations for the establishment of a library and parks and playgrounds for the colored citizens is commendable, and brings out in bold relief the true spirit of the man. Furthermore, the message of the Mayor expresses the sentiment of the people who constitute that element of our citizenship --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1911 who have a desire to do as they would be done by. Nashville is growing rapidly as a commercial center. By the united efforts put forth in recent years capital has been attracted this way. With new industries come new conditions, and they must be met. The business men realize what it means to a city to have these new industries and they are seeing to it that Nashville shall have a business administration of public affairs the same as each man adopts in his private affairs. Mayor Howse is a business man and carries into the office he hold those same ideas that have brought him success in business. A most encouraging feature in the Negro life of Nashville is the spirit of proper getting. We hope this spirit will live long, and that the day is not far distant when more Negroes not only in Nashville but elsewhere, can rest under his own vine and fig tree. Musical circles in Nashville seem to be taking on new life in an effort to give to this city the very best in that line. The Negroes of the city are expected to live up to their reputation of being in the front rank of musical celebrities. Christmas shoppers should begin now to purchase their holiday goods and avoid the rush and bustle of the crowds later on. Now you get your choice of all that's good; when the rush comes on, it is take anything that is offered you. Champ Clark has won his spars as an ass. He has kicked his presidential bee into smokeless powder. AS OTHERS SEE IT. Dr. C. V. Roman Nashville' famous scholar, orator and specialist in medicine, will be the next editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. That's what all the wise-acres are saying. He is the fittest man mentioned in this connection.—The Freeman. GOVERNOR INSPECTS COLORED NORMAL Governor Hooper, accompanied by Superintendent of Public Education Brister and Harry A. Luck, members of the board, and Capt. T. F. Peck, commissioner of agriculture. Tuesday afternoon inspected the colored normal school building, which is being erected here. They found that the work was progressing nicely, and it is probable that the school will be opened next summer. The boys' dormitory will be completed by the first of the year. Captain Peck was consulted in regard to the farm, which will be used in the study of agriculture at the school. MAKING BIG SHOWING. Already the Nashville Negro Doll Company, which announced the opening of its season for 1911-12, is making splendid showing by the number of dolls being shipped daily. The manager of the Company reports that mail orders have been coming in rapidly and that the Negress throughout the United States, as well as in South and Central America, are demonstrating that they are in sympathy with the slogan. "Negro Dolls for Negro Children," adopted by this Company more than three years ago. Their Class A doll, which represents an improved toy for the children of our race and which is sure to inspire race pride in the little ones, has struck a popular chord, and letters congratulating the Company upon the splendid production of this toy are being received in every mail. HUBBARD HOSPITAL. The Hubbard Hospital Club will entertain the public with an autumn festival at Odd Fellows' Hall, November 21-22 and 23rd. The H. T. G. M. Club will present an attractive program on the initial night. On the second evening the Algonquin Club will do the honors. The Bachelor Mald's Club will have a splendid program on the last night. These series of entertainments are expected to meet the unqualified approval of all. A great and good time is anticipated. Watch the Globe for display "ad" next week. A REALLY WONDERFUL BOOK. COLORED AND WHITE UNITED IN PRAISE OF "WISDOM'S CALL." Mark this prediction—"Wisdom's Call" is the book that will prove to be the turning point in the matter of adjusting the race question in the South. It puts the finger of its logic on a cancer that is secretly gnawing at the vitals of the South, and stirs the minds of the statesmen. It will absolutely change the thinking of those whites that are wrong in their atti- tace toward the colored people. When you have changed a man's thoughts you have changed his deeds, for "As a man thinseh in his heart, so is he." Miss Harriet E. Giles, late principal of Spelman Seminary, a white woman of culture, who devoted a whole life to a study of conditions in the South, said, "We sat up until after midnight reading your work. You are certainly pulling the right cord. I wish that r hau the addresses of Southern whites to whom I might send what you have written." One literary critic writes: "In language as stately as Emerson's, as pictures, que as Hugo's, as philosophical as Herbert Spencer's, as cohesive in construction as Carlyle's, and as faithful as Boswell's, Sutton E. Griggs uttered what is positively the last word upon the problem of the darker races in his latest work, "Wisdom's Call." From cover to cover appear simple corollaries which no reader sitting in judgment, whether he be white or black, can deny. It is easily the most important book that has appeared in many a year upon the race problem. I believe it is the most complete as well as the most important work ever published. It can be safely said that no one can boast of being fully informed until he has carefully read "Wisdom's Call." Bankers are cool, level-headed men. The leading white banker of Galveston, Texas, said: "The book is simply unanswerable. Vardaman, Tillman, Hoke Smith—not a man of that type can answer that book." Dr. W. R. Pettiford, of Birmingham, Ala., the father of Negro banking, said: "Here are ten dollars to be used in distributing that book." One of the leading attorneys of Nashville, Tenn., a Southern white man of wide reputation, writes thus: "I want to thank you for that copy or "Wisdom's Call," by Rev. Sutton E. Griggs. I read it with great interest and profit. It is really a wonderful book, full of the finest philosophy, choicest rhetoric and Christian ideas. Rev. Mr. Griggs is manifestly a great thinker, a genius and a statesman. May the Lord preserve him and sanctify his talents to the good of his country and his people. "Very respectfully, "NOAH W. COOPER." Send in your order for the book that has put the white South upon the highway of a just and humane solution of the race question. "Wisdom's Call" is well printed, neatly bound and contains 193 pages. Price fifty cents. Add five cents for mailing. The book is on sale at The Peoples Bank, 410 Cedar street. Out of town customers will address their orders to The Orion Publishing Company, East Station, Nashville, Tenn. MR. CARL R. DITON. On Friday evening, November 3rd, Mr. Carl R. Diton, of Philadelphia, gave a piano forte recital in Fisk Memorial Chapel, under the auspices of the Musical Department of Fisk University. Mr. Diton has just returned from Germany, where he has been studying his art under some noted teachers. He is one of the three leading virtuosi of the colored race, the other two being Miss Hazel Harrison and Mr. R. A. Lawson. All in all, he is a very interesting study for to begin with he has a striking personality, which predisposes an audience in his favor. His very movement suggests dignity and earnestness, which attributes characterize his every performance, while his evident painstaking carefulness with his marked talent cannot fail to impress the most casual observer that there is in him a potentiality which, in its developed state, is to be a magnificent and rare product. Even in his present state of development Mr. Diton probably, every viewpoint taken into consideration, has no superior among our people. In fact, in point of execution his work is well nigh faultless, and in the recital he gave here, it was a revelation. He is not flashy and does not express his emotions corporeally as do some, and which in some pianists are uncharming and in others charmless, which very fact is likely to impress some people that he is not possessed of deep emotion, still that warmth and that enthusiasm marking all his playing cannot fail to touch the nears of his hearers. His program, consisting of the works of Bach, Brahms and Chopin, was a patent compliment to his audience. It was a program for thorough going musicians, without much consideration for the laity, reminding one of the answer which Carlyle made to a man who asked him why his works were so hard to understand. "I write for intelligent people." Still there were spots in the different numbers which a person of average musical intelligence could enjoy. In addition to this the thought that a young man of the Negro race had the talent and force of character to accomplish what he was exhibiting was an inspiration. Mr. Diton played without notes the works of the masters, and if there was a slip, nobody noticed it. And he was playing before as critical an audience as he is likely to find. The profundity and projectivity of Bach, the marvelous development and pacing emotion of Brahms, and the me- lodious, but difficult originality of Chopin were all expressed and executed in a highly artistic manner. If any numbers were more enjoyable than the others, they were the Polanaise, F Sharp Minor Op. 44 and Waltz in C Sharp Minor Opus k4 No. 2. In the waltz, Mr. Diton gave some of the most delicately artistic execution imaginable. The Sonata in F Minor Op. 5, by Brahms, made a great appeal to the intellect and elicited due admiration. So well was the audience pleased that Mr. Diton was forced to add three numbers to his program, two being called for when he had finished the Palanaise. This young man is one in whom we have great pride and greater hopes. REVIBAL IN EAST NASHVILLE. "We propose to give Satan no quarter this side the river," was the declaration of the Rev. J. Davenport Bushell last Sunday morning from the pulpit of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, when it was announced that the revival services would begin that day. Young people of the church showed so much interest that they were given the privilege of starting the ball to rolling. It was done in a pleasing manner. The first service was held under the auspices of the young people of the church and throughout the day they were putting their hands upon their associates PROF. JOSEPH A. BOOKER COMING. It has been learned from reliable source, that Prof. J. A. Booker, A.M., President of the Arkansas Baptist College, located at Little Rock, Arkansas, will visit Nashville during the holiday season. It is said that Prof. Booker, will be accompanied by his eldest son. They are to spend two or three days in Nashville visiting friends and relatives. Prof. Booker and Councilman, S. P. Harris married sisters. Prof. Booker is a graduate of Roger Williams University and is looked upon as one of the leading educators in the South. The school owns and operates a 100-acre farm, with a gin and gris mill on it at Booker, Arkansas, which post-office and railroad station was named in his honor. RIDGETOP NOTES: Miss Laura B.

The occasion was one of sincere interest to a host of personal and family friends, here and in other states.

SEND ALL ORDERS AND LETTERS OF INQUIRY TO THE National Negro Doll Company THE CHILDREN'S WEEKLY One of the most convincing arguments about dolls, especially their beauty and their resemblance to the children has been clipped from Harper's Bazaar, which reads as follows: Perhaps the most interesting feature about the jointed child doll is the fact that each type is made after the portrait or photograph of a real child, and is often a copy of a living child model. One traces the incentive to realism in doll manufacture to a lovely elderly lady in Munich. She is an artist, and one with a deep love for childhood. It seemed to her that when one considered all the passion of love which a doll inspires into the breast of its owner, that little girls ought to have a pet that looked more human than dolls have been wont to look. With this idea she developed, in plaster, dolls that were exact imitations of the various peasant folk who came to Munich from Bavarian and other provinces of a Sunday.

BOYD, President Avenue, North 519 Second Avenue, North The delay occasioned by the litigation to determine the validity of the $550,000 trunk sewer bonds issue has prevented the city of Nashville from making any substantial progress in the laying of sewers during the year 1911. However, seven and one-tenth or 37,660 lineal feet, of trunk sewers are at present under contract at a cost of $280,550, and one and one-sixteenth miles, or 6,145 lineal feet, of lateral sewers are now under contract at a cost of $9,200. Two hundred and fifty feet of trunk sewers have been completed this year at a cost of $760 and 13,540 feet of lateral sewers have been completed at a cost of $12,000.

At this rate it will not be many years before the city of Nashville will be equipped throughout with granitoid concrete sidewalks and concrete gutters. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1911. The Negro Dolls, which we are sending out, have no equal as fit toys for the children. When the children are happy, the home is happy. The very best attention will be given every order. Remember that the dolls are carefully packed and shipped immediately upon receipt of the order. We are asking patrons who send orders for dolls to carefully examine their package before taking it from the express or freight office. Special attention will be given individual orders.

BOYD, Manager and the sanitation of the city depends in a large measure on proper sewerage and when the work under contract is completed, which will be done during the year 1912, Nashville will have made substantial progress in eliminating the evils brought about by a lack of a complete sewerage system. The Health Department under the wise management of Dr. W. E. Hibbett, has produced excellent results, and monthly reports sent out from this office show that the death rate in the city of Nashville is as low as any city of the same size in the South. I recommended in a special message to the honorable City THE DOLL ing manikins, and this fact did not take long to spread throughout the empire and reach the ears of Americans.

The honorable City Council needed my recommendation and put this measure in operation, and the results accomplished have been so extremely satisfactory that two other nurses will be employed at the beginning of the year 1912. I recommend if the revenues of the city justify, that four free dispensaries be opened, one in each section of the city for the purpose of caring for infants and dispensing medicines to the poor. I am informed that this can be accomplished at a nominal cost, and I maintain that no expense should be spared wherever it is found we can save the life of an infant or alleviate the suffering of the poor and afflicted. It is the intention of the Health Department to employ a director, whose duty it shall be to do educational work and look after tuberculosis patients in the city, before they are sent to the Tuberculosis Hospital, and also guide them in the matter of looking after their health after they return from this institution. If we are to make a successful fight in the city of Nashville against the great white plague we must-adopt the most up-to-date methods known to the medical profession and bear the expense as is necessary to carry on the work as outlined by the doctors in charge of the Health Department and the Tuberculosis Hospital. For several years numerous charitably inclined citizens advocated a Children's Hospital or a place where children could be kept separate and apart from the general patients admitted to a regular City Hospital, but no substantial progress looking to the consummation of their ideas was ever put into effect until I recommended to the honorable City Council in my last annual message that an appropriation of $50,000 be made for the purpose of erecting an addition to the City Hospital. I am proud to announce that the appropriation was made and the contract and the addition is now under construction, and when completed Nashville will be as well equipped for taking care of its indigent poor and treating the sick and afflicted as any city anywhere. The whites can be separated from the colored patients, and the children can have a ward where they will not at any time or in any way come in contact with undesirable characters. I commend the great work accomplished by the honorable Hospital Commission, and pledge my support and co-operation in all meritorious measures they advocate, or reforms they institute in the future. No department of the city government deserves more credit than the Park Commission, and during the year 1911 several additional playgrounds in various sections of the city have been acquired and equipped with swings, benches and other devices for the amusement and pleasure of the children. No department of the city government has a more direct bearing on the health and welfare of the young people than the park system, and every opportunity to aid the Park Commission should be embraced by all officials and the citizens generally. Shelby Park is being beautified as rapidly as a wise Park Commission with limited resources can devise and execute the necessary work. The colored people of the city of Nashville have been modest in their demands, and the leaders of their race are intensely interested in inducing the honorable Park Commission to provide playgrounds for the colored children in certain sections of the city, and I heartily indorse this movement and recommend to the honorable Park Commission that playgrounds for colored children be provided in such sections of the city where they will be of the most benefit to the greatest number of our colored citizens. I am gratified to announce to the honorable City Council that the site for the Tuberculosis Hospital has been purchased and paid for. The money has been appropriated by the honorable County Court and the necessary legislation enacted by the last Legislature. a commission appointed and organized, contracts let and the Tuberculosis Hospital will be completed and opened to the public in January, 1912. This will meet a long-felt want and bring hope to a multitude of people who have heretofore been without hope when afflicted with the dread white plague. Workhouse. I have heretofore recommended that the Workhouse be remodeled and enlarged, so that the unfortunate prisoners confined therein could be kept more comfortable and less crowded, and I desire to renew my recommendation along this line. I am satisfied that prisoners confined in the old Workhouse are kept as clean and treated as humanely as possible, under existing conditions, but so long as I am Mayor I shall raise my voice against any and every condition which oppresses or inflicts necessary burdens upon unfortunate prisoners, confined, friendless and hopeless. I recommend that the honorable City Council appropriate sufficient funds to remodel and enlarge the old Workhouse, and this recommendation should be granted in the name of humanity. Police Station. I respectfully recommend to the honorable City Council and the honorable Board of Public Works, whose co-operation is necessary, that the chemical engine now stationed in a (Continued on Page 8) R.

The conference was a success from every viewpoint and was visited by general officers and distinguished clergymen and visitors from different parts of the state. On Friday afternoon Bishop H. B. Parks turned the meeting over to the president, Mrs. P. L. Beams, of the W. M. and F. M. Society, who delivered her annual address, which was full of information and encouragement and was well received. A short program was rendered by the missionary society. Some of the participants were as follows: Miss Mattle Barns, the district president of the W. H. and F. M. Society of Paris District, who, with well-chosen words, addressed the society; quite an inspiring paper on Missionary Work, Miss Maggie Walker; the vice president recited a selection; others took part, which was equally as interesting. After the rendition of the program the president called for the report from each district. Each district president came forward and made their report, which was as follows: Clarksville District, $48.58; Dickson District, $36.62; Paris District, $22.60; public collection, $9.37. Total raised for W. H. and F. M. Society, $117.17. The conference and convention were a success in every way, intellectually, spiritually and financially. At this period Bishop Parks expressed himself as being highly pleased with the work that had been accomplished by the different churches during the past conference year, and said, "That the prospects for the little conference are great." At the close of the meeting the officers of the W. H. and F. M. Society were elected as rolows: Mrs. Percy Le Beam, president; Miss Maggie Walker, vice president; Mrs. Lene Dunn, secretary; Mrs. N. M. Stacker, treasurer. Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, presiding bishop. ON TO WASHINGTON. Rev. Sutton E. Griggs to Make an Important Trip. Six years ago the National Baptist Convention in session in Philadelphia, Penn., requested the Rev. Sutton E. Griggs to prepare a defense of the Negro race that would serve as an antidote to the works of Thomas Dixon, Jr., and others who were to alienate the sympathy of the American people from the Negro. Since that time Mr. Griggs has been hard at work in an endeavor to so formulate the case of his race that it would be impregnated when presented. Announcement is made that he has at last completed his presentation and is now ready to lay it before the American people. Shortly after the assembling of Congress in next month, Mr. Griggs will appear in Washington, D. C., to present the President, Vice President, Cabinet Officers, Supreme Court Justices and each member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives a copy of the book, "Wisdom's Call," with which he hopes to put America thinking right on the race question. A movement is on foot in the city to arrange for a farewell meeting on the eve of his departure for Washington. The meeting will be held at the St. John A. M. E. Church, Rev. S. L. Howard, pastor, on Monday night, December 4th, in which occasion Mr. Griggs will deliver an address. 2 Crescent Drugs J. W. BRIGHT & CO., P.R.

Atlanta, Ga.—After a hard-fought gridiron battle, which at times looked as if the game of year before last would be repeated, Atlanta Baptist College triumphed over Fisk here to-day. Much interest had been aroused in this game, on account of the standing of the two teams, because the decision to-day meant much in determining the standing of the teams in football circles. While Atlanta Baptist College has held for several years the title of champion of the South, if the number of games played and won are to be considered, the boys from Nashville thought that on account of their holding Meharry to such a close score last year, they were entitled to some consideration. Every inch of the ground was closely contested. Both teams showed that they understood the improved rules and art of football. The weight of the teams was about equal, the few pounds, however, were in favor of Fisk, but the boys from Nashville were no match for the Atlanta Tigers who, notwithstanding the fact that they had lost three of their best players, scored a clean victory from the visitors. The goal of the Atlanta boys was in no danger at any time, while on the contrary, most of the playing was done in Fisk territory and their goal was only saved on several occasions by fumbles on the part of the home team. New stars developed in the Atlanta team, one being a Nashville boy who is playing on the regular team for his first season. Theophilus Boyd, the promising quarterback of the South, is the star. The defeat of Fisk was complete. A. B. C seems to have held back her force Everywhere Drink the satisfactory beverage Coca-Cola Carbonated in bottles.

The people here all believe that Atlanta will defeat Mehary Thanksgiving. ROGER WILLIAMS DEFEATS MUR FREESBORO. Last Friday the football team of Roger Williams made a flying trip to Murfreesboro and defeated the team there 11 to 0. Each player showed to advantage. George Branham, the fullback, was put out of the game on account of some undue roughness on the part of the Murfreesboro team. He will probably be out of the game next Saturday when Roger faces Walden on Roger Williams campus. Of course the team will suffer a serious loss—more trouble for Mr. Jackson. The entire team observed the game last Saturday between Meharry and Talladega. FISK BEATS TALLADEGA. By a series of end plays that were brilliantly executed, forward passes that were both perfect and spectacular, Fisk romped over Talladega Tuesday to the tune of 16 to 0. Talladega only at times showed flashes of the form she displayed Saturday in the game against Meharry. and the boys from Alabama never had a chance to score, while Fisk played one of the most beautiful and open games ever witnessed in Nashville. Her backs and ends would break loose behind almost perfect interference for long runs, and it was only a question of how large the score would be. Fisk seemed content after pilling up 16 points. After the first half the varsity retired in favor of the reservoirs. While they played good football they were not quite as strong and were unable to score any more. In all the game was fairly well played. It gave the fans food for thought. What would be the outcome of a Meharry Fisk game? and what will Meharry do against A. B. C on Thanksgiving Day? Think it over, fellows, and reach your own conclusion. You each have a thought coming MEHARRY BEATS TALLDEGA. (Continued from Page 1) in getting the man with the ball, while on the offensive he is not quite the equal of his larger partner. Big Chief Cochran bore the burden of making Meharry's attack. His consistent gains, sometimes nothing less than grand, made victory doubly sure for his team. His superior as a ground gainer is probably not to be found in any of our 1911 teams. The accuracy of the team play of Meharry was surprising, though at times the judgment used was not the best. Especially was this true in regard to the play when after a fair catch directly in front of the goal on the 15-yard line, she chose to scrimmage, instead in trying for goal when they had such a man as Zubar to scoot the ball. For Talladega it can be said that her team is so well balanced that one man hardly outshines another, but this fact was evident; the finest defensive work was done by Lawless, right end. He is game to the core, and several times throttled single-handed alone the big men sent his way, and he was more than once in distress from overwork; he never yielded an inch. The ground gaining was done by McNeal, the full back, who time and time again dashed through the line for yards and yards, but the work cut out for him was too much, for soon Meharry began to bend him back for losses. His is another instance of unsound judgment. Talladega tried long to smash her opponents' line, even when it was evident that nothing was doing there. An open game would have profited her more, both in gaining and in saving her men. During the whole game Meharry gained on rushes 226 yards, Talladega 96 yards. Meharry was thrown back for losses amounting to 22 yards. Talladega 16; Meharry on kicks covered 253 yards, Talladega 18); Meharry made two touchdowns and one field goal, making 13 points to Talladega's 0. The officials were highly satisfactory and kept the game going rapidly. Messrs Cameron, referee; Ira Davis, unpire; Fred Randals, field judge, and G. E. Washington, head linesman, looked after the official end of the conflict. OUR HOLIDAY DONATION OFFER OUR HOLIDAY DONATION OFFER. The National Baptist Publishing Board has arranged a gift for the holiday season for all of its patrons. By special arrangements with manufacturers of silverwave, baptismal garments, church furniture, instruments and church supplies we have succeeded in getting, for the benefit of all the Sunday-schools, churches and individuals, who will place an order between December 1st and January 1, 1912, the following: We will be personally responsible for ten per cent of the cost of any article in the supply line ordered from us during the thirty-one days in the month of December, in which one-half of the cost of the article is accompanied with the order. For instance, if a person should order a library book case costing $15 and should send $7.50 of that amount in a post office money order, we would add $1.50 to the order, leaving the party to send in the next remittance only $6. Our other proposition in the way of a donation is that we will personally donate one-fourth of the cost of any article in the church supply line to any church, Sunday-school or congregation that sends in cash orders. To make ourselves more thoroughly understood, if a person should order a one hundred dollar chapel organ and should send us a post office money order for $75, we would guarantee the shipment of the organ and see that they were receipted for the $100, we becoming personally responsible for $25. In arranging this, we do so with a view to making it possible for every one of the thousands of Sunday-school's and churches dealing with us each year to receive our Christmas present without exception to the size or grade of the Sunday-school. Then, too, in a measure it attempts to show the appreciation, as well as the gratitude, we have for those churches, schools and individuals that have so laoyally supported every department of the work. The National Baptist Church Supply Company is directly responsible for our being able to make such a wholesome offer at this particular season. We are grateful to them for coming to our rescue at a time when it was so much needed. We feel that those churches, schools and congregations that are contemplating the purchase of church bells, communion sets, pulpit suites, organs, planos, sewing machines, collection plates or such other supplies that they have been writing to us about from time to time will take advantage of this offer. It will positively begin on the morning of December 1st and close at the close of January 1st, 1912, at 9 a.m. All letters mailed to us during these thirty-one days, accompanied with all cash or one-half cash for articles wanted, will be honored with this proposition. This is the most sweeping donation ever offered in the history of the denomination, and we feel sure it will redound to the success of the well-laid plans of many congregations. For further information, write the National Baptist Publishing Board, R.H. Boyd, Secretary, 523 Second avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. NON-RESIDENT NOTICE. John Crosby vs. Lena Crosby.

Tuesday of this week was the regular meeting of the National Baptist Publishing Board, but owing to the meeting having been moved up one week, it was held last Tuesday, the only business transacted being that of awarding the Sunday-School Congress to Tuskegee Institute. Chairman Clark then adjourned for the December meeting. COLUMBIA NOTES. Miss Mariea Coombs, of Nashville, spent the week-end, the guest of Miss Maggie Louise Greene. Mrs. T. W.

(Continued from Page 6) portion of the Police Station building be moved and that this building be remodeled, repaired and overhauled in such manner as will provide offices for the Judge of the City Court, the Chief of Police and the Chief Detectives, and that space be provided and fitted up in which to hold the Juvenile Court, which has recently been created and is now being put in operation in the city of Nashville. The Humane Commission is now renting offices, which is an expense that the city should save, if proper offices were provided at the Police Station, which is owned by the city. Carnegie Library. The contract of the city of Nashville with the Carnegie Library provides that this institution shall be maintained by the city with an annual appropriation of $10,000. During the first year of my administration a delegation of citizens waited on me in the interest of an additional appropriation, believing as they did that the good to be accomplished justified the added expense, and I therefore sanctioned and recommended an appropriation of $12,500. The second year of my first administration another increased appropriation was allowed by the honorable City Council, making an appropriation for this institution for the year 1911 of $15,000. I am gratified at the results obtained by circulating the books of the Library in the various public schools of the city, and commend the work of the Library Board and the efficient Librarian in charge. I have been assured by a committee of prominent colored citizens of the city of Nashville that Mr. Andrew Carnegie would donate $10,000 for the purpose of constructing a branch library for colored citizens under the management and control of the Board of Directors of the present Carnegie Library, provided the city would agree to maintain said library. Education should not be limited to any race or class of people, and, believing that the results anticipated, by this movement will redound to the benefit of the city of Nashville and especially the colored citizens thereof, I respectfully recommend that the city agree to constructed with funds furnished by constructed with funds provided by Mr. Andrew Carnegie, and that a colored Librarian and such assistance as is necessary be put in charge of the library and under control of the present Board of Directors of the Carnegie Library. I recommend that such appropriation as in the wisdom and judgment of the honorable City Council is found to be necessary, be made for this purpose. Remarks. The heads of the various departments of the city government have my grateful appreciation for their loyal support and co-operation in the various successful undertakings which have been advocated and completed during the year drawing to a close. The best results can be obtained by hearty co-operation and friendly relations between the various city officials, and it is my sincere hope and earnest desire that all discord and dissension be discouraged wherever found, and that all as one man solely interested in the continue growth, welfare and prosperity of our city work for the common good of the people of the great city of Nashville Memoriam. I could not close this message to the honorable City Council without expressing my sincere regret at the recent death of our friend, John T. Beaz L & N LEAVES.
