NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. TEXAS MINISTERS URGED TO BE MANLY AND COURAGEOUS— DOES NOT APPROVE OF RINGS —ADMONISHED MEN TO DO RIGHT—FRIEND TO THE YOUNG MEN — BELIEVES OLD MEN SHOULD NOT BE THROWN AWAY —BIG DOLLAR MONEY REPORT. Waxahacle, Texas, November 24.—The second day's session of the Northeast Texas Conference opened Thursday morning at 9 o'clock with Bishop Tyree presiding. Religious services were conducted by Rev. W. A. Wilhite. A prayer was offered by Rev. H. J. Gates and Rev. J. W. B. Joshua read the scripture lesson. The minutes of the previous session were read by Rev. H. A. Carr, chief secretary. A collection was lifted for Rev. Shelburne who had a severe loss by fire. The conference is largely attended. Among the many distinguished guests are: Rev. G. B. Young, San Antonio; J. T. S. White, Metropolitan Church, Austin; E. J. Howard, St. Paul's Church, Waco; Rev. H. S. Sims, presiding elder, Austin District; Rev. S. D. Butler, presiding elder, El Paso District; Rev. J. H. Lynn, presiding elder, Waco District; Rev. Roy E. Hutchinsin, Thurber; Rev. G. W. Ballard, Liberty Hill; Rev. C. L. Morgan, Houston; Rev. F. F. Moten, Oakwood, Tex. In speaking to the members of the Conference Bishop Tyree remarked: "I want to say to the brethren that we have just a little too much politics in our religion. We forget, in some instances, to treat each other right. In the church we have combined, re-combined and combined again with some of the best men and sometimes with those not so good. It is not safe for the church to deal in so much politics for God's church cannot live governed by politicians. It will die. Just as sure as I stand before you to-day the African Methodist Church cannot live unless some of its politics die. There is no way in the world to eliminate God from the church and live, and when we cut ourselves from the Divine, we perish. Every man has a right to aspire, but do not forget God. I am very anxious to see every man under me, (those who are not under me for that matter), rise to higher ground. It is beautiful to see, and I admire it, but let us remember our God. In a few hours we shall try to elect delegates for the general conference, let me say to you, eliminate politics and let politicians have them, for it will weaken your spiritual power. Do right for righteousness sake and love your church and its welfare. Some say they think the bishop should stay in one place long enough to join a ring. If I were to stay here forty years, I would not join a ring. No gentlemanly bishop will join a ring. Strive to do the right thing. If any man will do the wrong thing because his friend says so, he is lacking for sense. It is wrong even among gamblers, much less preachers. I want to say to the young men, that I am a friend to the young men, but the young men cannot run the church alone. If you want new trustees, keep some old ones; if you want new pastors, keep some old ones, and if you want new presiding elders, keep some old ones, that they may regulate and guide the new ones." The report of the dollar money was the interesting item in the afternoon. The dollar money was reported as follows: Dallas District, Rev. J. M. Anderson, presiding elder, $717.25. Waxahachie District, Rev. R. S. Jenkins, presiding elder, $957.20. Corsicana District, Rev. J. W. Ran- Corsicana District, Rev. J. W. Rankin, presiding elder, $636.60. Terrell District, Rev. M. A.

Total dollar money, $3,415.75. The Rev. M. D. Moody, Waxahachie, Texas, is the "Dollar Money King." MR. F. D. LOWERY DEPARTS THIS LIFE. Mr. Frederick Davis Lowery departed this life November 26, 1911, at the age of sixty. He was a member of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church and died a very faithful Christian. He was also a pressman at the National Baptist Publishing House and made fany friends among his fellow-workmen. He was survived by his wife, one sister, Mrs. L. A. Greene, of Americus, Ga., and six children: Mrs. W. M. Swanson, of Montgomery, Ala.; Mrs. C. L. Hall, Miss F. B. Lowery of this city, Messrs. Charles, Hearry and Willfred Lowery, of New York. QUARTERLY. CONFERENCE AT HARTSVILLE. Special to the Globe: Hartsville, Tenn., Dec. 1.—The quarterly conference at the A. M. E. Church was one of the grandest ever held in this place. On Friday night the presiding elder, Dr. J. Q. Johnson, delivered a most timely and inspiring lecture, and on Sunday preached two strong, practical and helpful sermons. On Monday night the Ladies' boards of the church gave a fine banquet and made their final reports. Money reported from every source amounted to $55. Rev. J. H. Kerr is the pastor in charge recently assigned here by the conference. He is master of the situation, and goes about his work with great inspiration. The lady workers of the different boards did splendid work in the conference. PRESIDENT JOHN HOPE VISITS ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY. Roger Williams was honored highly with the presence of President John Hope, of Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta, Ga., last Tuesday, and he spent a pleasant stay here with us; he delivered a very splendid address before the student body which was wholesome and appropriate, both in the afternoon and evening. Later on in the evening several of the young men of Meharry Medical College, formerly of Atlanta Baptist College, came out and spent a few very pleasant hours with President Hope and the faculty of Roger Williams University. Prof. A. M. Jackson, formerly of Atlanta Baptist College, in company with other members of the faculty, had served to our guests, President Hope and the young men of Meharry, a two-course menu which ended the evening's repast. President Hope was very favorably impressed with things here at Roger Williams. On the verge of his leave he remarked that conditions were more substantial than he thought before his visit. He took his leave the following morning with a heart full of expressions of Roger Williams and its works. Roger Williams thanks Rev. Henry Allen Boyd for his generosity in bringing President Hope out to the school here immediately after it was known that President Hope so desired. Your kindness. Rev. Boyd, is our gratitude. Mrs. Susie Ewing, one of the neighbors of Roger Williams, surprised the faculty and student body by presenting them with some shorts for their Thanksgiving dinner. The friends of the school are always showing similar kindnesses for which the university is very thankful. Miss Joanna P. Moore, of the Sunshine Home, delivered the annual Thanksgiving address before the student body on the morning of Thanksgiving, which was enjoyed by all. Miss Moore is one of the most loyal friends that have ever come down here from the North to help our people. The student conference composed of students of Roger Williams and Walden Universities held at Walden December 3 was a signal success. HUMPHREY COUNTIAN SICK IN WAVERLY. Mr. Ellis Jonnican, a resident of Humphrey County, Tennessee, is now in Waverley confined to his bed. He was visited by Rev. M. K. Britt, pastor of Salter's Chapel A. M. E. Church. Rev. Britt offered song and prayer for Mr. Jonnican, who was converted during the service. The event of Mr. Jonnican's conversion had a very pleasant bearing upon all who know him and sympathize with him in his illness. NATIONAL COMPACT MASON MEET IN ANNUAL SESSION Come from All Parts of State. MR. J. R. ANDERSON DELIVERS WELCOME ON BEHALF OF CITY —THE USUAL COMMITTEES WERE APPOINTED—THE ENTIRE SESSION HARMONIOUS—GRAND MASTER POWELL DELIVERS STRONG ADDRESS—NEGRO NOW PROGRESSIVE—LADY COURT ALSO IN SESSION. The State Grand Lodge of the National Compact Free and Accepted York Masons was held in Harding Hall Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday week. Quite a representative gathering of the craft was present from various parts of the state. On the opening day they were welcomed to the city by Mr. J. R. Anderson in a telling speech. The response was made by Rev. A. M. Martin, of Memphis. All committees reported that the Order was on the high road of prosperity. The following officers were elected and installed: Rev. J. D. Rowell, G. M., Memphis. A. W. Starnes, D. G. M., Nashville. Abram Smith, G. S. W., Memphis. J. R. Bath, G. J. W., Watertown. P. H. Davidson, G. Sec., Nashville. Rev. A. M.

Wood, Nashville; C. D. A. M. Martin, Memphis; O. G. K., Mattie Young, Nashville. The sessions were harmonious. The trend of all the deliberations was that the Negro must be loyal to the tenets of Christianity. The daily sessions of the grand lodge was well attended and replete with many forceful speeches. Notably, J. R. Anderson, who said that the cardinal principle of the order was "Love and Brotherhood." He told the grand lodge that he who does right has nothing to fear; the lives of the craft should be an open book. The smoke of battle has rolled away. Peace reigns supreme. The times are blooming with opportunities for a grander and nobler achievement. Grand Master J. D. Rowell, in one of his speeches, said: "No longer can the Negro race be styled as non-progressive; he is today an important factor in the development of the industrial world. This grand lodge goes on record in favor of education in the broadest sense. We are loyal to the best interest of the state and nation." A. W. Starnes, the D. G. M., made a feeling talk along the lines of craft; he said the young men all over the country should be taught the achievements of Masonry. The Ladies Court kept pace with the Grand Lodge. Much wholesome legislature was enacted for the betterment of the institution. The Court went on record in favor of a higher conception of civic righteousness. The Grand Lodge was the largest ever held by the National Compact Masons. The personnel or the delegation was of such to elicit favorable comment from all. Their membership is rapidly increasing under the wise administration of Grand Master Powell. DEATH OF EDWARD D. KENNEDY. After a lingering illness covering a period of about six months Mr. Edward D. Kennedy, eldest son of J. B. Kennedy, proprietor of the Kennedy livery stable on Third avenue, died at the home of his parents, three miles out on the Hydes Ferry Pike, Friday morning at 5 o'clock. The deceased was a very prominent business man. He has been connected with the mammoth livery establishment of his father for over seven years. Three years ago he married Miss Bessie Leigh, a popular young lady of East Nashville. After his health began to fail their home on Lischey avenue was abandoned in order that they might be near their parents. At seven o'clock Friday morning arrangements had not been made for the funeral. DR. BLANTON AT MEHARRY. Meharry Y. M. C. A. was addressed on Sunday afternoon, the 3rd inst., by Dr. J. D. Blanton, President of Ward Seminary. The doctor was introduced by Dean Hubbard, and gave a very splendid address from Ezek. 8:12, which will long be remembered by those who heard it.

Mr. Saunders is a young man of marked literary talent, and is worthy of much encouragement in this direction. DR. SUTTON E. GRIGGS DELIVERS INSPIRING ADDRESS MONDAY NIGHT. Nashville is ablaze with enthusiasm this week. As was forecasted in the Globe, the people turned out en masse on Monday night, December 4th, to pay honor to Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, whose latest book, "Wisdom's Call," is arousing such, universal interest. Long before the hour appointed, the people began to assemble at St. John A. M. E. Church and the crowds kept pouring in until one of the largest audiences that has been seen in Nashville for a like occasion, was on hand. All walks of life were represented. Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church, presided with his usual ease and dignity. His remarks opening the meeting were peculiarly fitting. Rev. W. S. Ellington, Editorial Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, was scheduled to present the speaker, and this he did in the forceful manner characteristic of him. Amid the cheering of the people, Mr. Griggs walked to the front and began his address with an apt anecdote that set the house to roaring. He put his audience in good humor, and then began his address which set the entire city to talking. Nashville people have had the pleasure of hearing many of the great orators, and when a speaker can make a speech so brilliant and eloquent as to create a sensation, he has really done something. This is what the Rev. Griggs did. In a plain way he outlined the forces and influences that are at work against the Negro and set forth what these forces hoped to accomplish. He entered into a graphic description of conditions farther South. He next set forth what he regarded as the remedy for the situation and called upon Nashville to play the part of Esther and take the lead for the race. His address was applauded throughout. Dr. C. V. Roman responded in behalf of the audience and made some very impressive remarks. The following committee of ten was appointed to co-operate with Mr. Griggs in all needful ways in the work of making the proposed presentation of books to the President, Congressmen and others: Bishop C. H. Phillips, Rev. S. L. Howard, Dr. C. V. Roman, Dr. A. M. Townsend, Mrs. I. L. Moon, Mrs. I. B. Scott, Mrs. A. M. Townsend and Mrs. J. D. Bushell. In speaking of the address, Bishop Ph.ipps remarked that it was one of the most remarkable deliverances to which he had ever listened, and stated that the eminent white lawyer who termed the speaker a genius spoke but the truth. Mr. Griggs left this week for Knoxville, Tenn., and Charleston, S. C., two of the many cities that desire to entertain him prior to his Washington journey. No.49 GREATEST IN HISTORY OF INSTITUTION. FISK CONQUERS MEHARRY'S STALWARTS—HARD TO FIGURE HOW IT WAS DONE—SPEED, GOOD JUDGMENT, GRIT AND LUCK IN THEIR FAVOR—LEWIS THE PARTICULAR STAR—NEATEST KICKER EVER SEEN HERE MEHARRY BOYS GAME TO THE CORE. Just as the last rays of the red sun faded out of the western skies on the beautiful Thanksgiving day, the game between Fisk and Meharry passed into history and the sons of Fisk were written down as the proud and deserving conquerors of the stalwart warriors of Meharry. Score: Fisk 11, Meharry 8. It was a game never to be forgotten for the courage and daring of the twenty-two determined players was magnificent to behold. Fisk has had many teams and good ones too; many grand players like the Kings, Mosby, Isadore, Ware, Meyers, Boutte and numerous others, but she has never put into the field a team more skilful and gamer than the one that on Thanksgiving overcame Meharry. Averaging about 147 pounds, this team outwitted, outgamed, outran, outfought, outlasted and outscored a team averaging at least 175 pounds, whose men were experienced, wiley, skilful and trained by one of the finest coaches as well as one of the finest foot ball players in the country Meharry put into the field a No. 1 team that, in flashes, played marvelously. In fact, it is hard, hard indeed to figure how Fisk could win against such a grand team. But the answer may doubtless be found in the fact that speed, good judgment, grit and luck all combined on the side of the Gold and Blue—speaking of speed, Fisk's back field is composed of four men any one of whom could pace 100 yards in less than 11 seconds. This was a great asset, for it was the fleet-footed Merchant, right half, who made both of Fisk's touchdowns, simply because he was as fast as a greased flash of lightning. In short, too much cannot be said of Merchant's work, both offensively and defensively, for he was a whole great big momentous host. Another point which juts out prominently is that Lewis, Fisk's quarter back, long, lean, smooth and suave so often stuck his toe into the oval and sent it to immeasurable distances. That kicking! The like has seldom been seen. Better kicking has never been seen on a southern gridiron; hardly on any gridiron. One of his boots traveled fully 80 yards, and with Fisk's flyers sailing down the field on the play the gain was always damaging to Meharry. Lewis' judgment in running his team makes him a member of the "select few;" one of the shining stars. Wesley and Booker Washington on the flanks of Fisk's line gave as fine an exhibition of how the work should be done as the most punctilious would care to behold. Wesley several times did the flying machine act, and picked forwardpasses out of the lofty atmosphere and just as often he was throrting the players of the opposition, who essayed to make the longed-for distance. Booker T., Jr., on his end, was smashing and blocking and spoiling and upsetting to a king's taste but the most splendid and disastrous of his performances was his magnificent and destructive interference he executed for Merchant in the progress of which he bowled over Candy Meharry's great tackle of 200 pounds allowing Merchant to score the second touchdown. The tackles on both teams were bright shining lights. Yes dazzling lights. For Fisk, Powell was simply beyond description; with his never-say-die-grim-used-war expression upon his stolid face, he, time and time again, rushed through, in, out and around and among the Meharry warriors and did much damage to their attack and when called upon to carry the ball, never failed to dip out the distance. Suggs was a Titan (Continued on Page 7) Out of Town Notes. CUNNINGHAM NOTES. Mr. Henry Gholston, of St. Louis, is visiting his mother, Mrs. Rosa Hopkins.

They Forget the Beginning. During the years that have passed since the shackles of slavery were broken from the Negroes in this country there have been many at- tempts by members of the race to do things on a large scale. Some have been in the line of charitable institu- tions, others as personal undertak- ings and still cthers as organizers of the forces of societies, churches and other agencies. Many of these have succeeded, and it is also true that many have been failures. Some of the promoters of these en- terprises started out with great am- bition and pure motives. Others started with the avowed intention of defrauding their unlettered and sup- erstitious brethren. Many of the promoters of these schemes knew in the beginning that there was a con- stituency awaiting their announce- ment, and ready to receive whatever proposition submitted to them that appeared to be for the betterment of the Negro race. In most cases, the organizers of these undertakings have been as raw and inexperienced as the people to whom they were to submit their propositions; neverthe- less, there are to-day in many parts of our country monuments that will stand to the memory of those promo- ters for centuries to come. When a true history is given of the achieve. ments of the American citizens, the pioneer Negro will take his place with the pioneers of all nationalities. But after giving all the praise that is due such individuals, it must be edmitted that many of them were the creatures of circumstances. They did not have to face trained and shrewd competition, but everybody of every nationality and every creed was ready to give them all the ad: vice and aid in their power. The part of all of this affair that {n regrettable is that many of these in dividuals, after they have reached 4 point that appears to be permanent forget the source from whence their support comes and turn or their friends to crush and belittl them, In this day we find a grea change taking place; the people ar demanding a square deal from every man who undertakes to promote + great project, whether it be an a1 ind'vidual or for the general benefit 0 all the people. They are first demand ing that the man be qualified to d what he undertakes to do, and ther that he be honest and just to his fel lowmen. In truth, a reconstruction { going on among the Negroes of thi country, and in this crusade those wh have not built on firm foundations ar standing up before the world as giant of progress.

Believes Book will Work Great Change. Bishop I. B. Scott of the great A. M. E. Church having completed the reading of “Wisdom’s Call,” the latest book written by Sutton E. Griggs, has given his opinion of the same. Bishop Scott is thoroughly acquainted with the race situation in America, having lived for years in the South and hay- ing travelled the country over. He was at one time President of Wiley University, Marshall, Texas, and is an exeditor of The Southwestern Christian advocate. ‘This letter is as follows: “TJ have read with pleasure and ‘profit the littke book entitled “Wis- dom’s Call,” which I purchased from you a few days before I left Nashville. I desire to say that I consider it one of the most remarkable discussions of the relations of the races in this country that I have ever read. I believe that it will change conditions in the South if it were read by any considerable number of the leaders of that section. I am so much convinced of this that I am perfectly willing to unite with those who feel disposed to do, to purchase one or two hundred copies for free distribution in the South. My plan would be to send these copies to the leading Editors and some few of the Southern Statesmen and thinkers, Personally I wish to thank you for the bgok and sincerely ‘trust that you may more than realize what must have been your hope in writing this volume. Yours sincerely, I. B, SCOTT. This book may be obtained locally at the People’s Savings Bank, 410 Cedar street, for fifty cents.

To the Kaltor of the Globe: I never like to make an unfav- orable public criticism of persons or their utterances but when one essays to give information on any subject and makes statements which are sc grossly inaccurate as to seem al- most malicious, refutation becomes necessary for the public good. At a memorial meeting held in the renowned St. Marks Church, New York City, recently, as I see by the “Boston Guardian” of the 18th inst., in honor of the great and mag nanimous Justice Harlan, a Mr. James L. Curtis in his remarks made two egregious misstatements: First, that Charles Sumner was as saulted on account of his advocacy) of the Civil Rights Bill, when in fact the assault was made about ten year: prior to the passage of said bill Preston Brooks assaulted Mr. Sum ner during the heated debates it ‘Congress on the Kansas and Nebras ka_ Bill.

C." The public is to be reminded of the ever thriving and prosperous condition of this august body of young men. Notwithstanding a deficit she has passed the whole year, which has caused her more or less a great hindrance. The old ship of state, as if were, has always been active, with its colors unfurled and nodding in the breeze of time and eternity. To speak of passing and returning of the old guards is still quite a disastrous thought for there is yet another out on a leave of absence which will not soon expire. To speak of these, one might convey the thought or idea that these absences are of frivolous nature, I wish to say it is not so. For when has a club of young men ever been so highly honored in various responsibilities as has our club this season. I. L. Leach, filling the role of vice-president of one of the greatest institutions for our race in the country, the Nas.ville Embalming College, E. P. Bond, the youngest fireman ever on the force, and our late president, now presiding in the capacity of principal of Centerville High School (what a tower of strength). Now, in the beautiful words of Caesar, "we come, we saw, and time can only tell what we conquered." The next meeting will be held at the Young's Hotel, 710 Cedar street. Program the same as one to have been rendered at Mr. Whitelow's, all concerned please take notice. MORNING WHIST. One of the pleasantest occasions of the Thanksgiving holidays was given Saturday morning at 9:30 at St Mary's Cottage by Miss Marie Coombs. The young ladies began to arrive at 9:30 and at 10 were led into the dining-room where a very dainty breakfast was served to sixteen. The table was a picture of beauty, draped with gold and blue ribbon and place cards. After breakfast the young ladies went into the parlor where four tables were arranged for whist. The first prize was a tie between Miss Madeline Carter and Miss Emma Stone, but by a cut tell to Miss Stone. The consolation prize fell to Miss Stevens. At 11 the young men came and to them the young ladies served a dainty three-course menu. A bow of gold and blue ribbon was presented to each and the Meharryites wore them with pleasure. On leaving every one expressed his pleas. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1911 ant time and thanked their hostess for such a lovely occasion. THE CULINARY ART CLUB'S DINNER.

The work on the Normal, said Prof. Hale, is entirely in the hands of the contractors. He did not know when school would open.

A marriage of wide-spread interest, on account of the prominence of the contracting parties, was that of Miss John Daniel Thompson, the only daughter of Prof. and Mrs. W. S. Thompson, to Mr. L. M. Moore, a prominent business man of Pratt City, Ala. The wedding was among the notable ocial events of the season and was solemnized Thursday evening, November 30th, at the spacious residence of the bride's parents on Demonbreun street, Rev. W. S. Ellington officiating. In the decorations, which were artistic and superb, the bride's colors of yellow and white were shown to good advantage. Throughout the rooms was an attractive arrangement of potted plants and autumn blossoms. In the front parlor, where the ceremony was performed, the altar had a background of potted palms, reaching almost to the ceiling and forming a canopy under which the bridal party stood. The mantles were banked with a profusion of yellow and white chrysanthemums and gave the appearance of a veritable flower garden. Promptly at 6 o'clock the bridal party marched into the parlor to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Mrs. J. D. Ballentyne. The procession was formed on the upper floor and was led by Mrs. W. S. Thompson, the matron of honor, who passed down the broad stairway alone, followed by the flower-bearers, little Miss Grace Price and Master Thurston Lewis, who strew flowers from well filled baskets along the bride's pathway. The bride entered on the arm of her father and met the groom, who entered with the officiating minister from a side door. at the altar, around which the party formed a semi-circle while the beautiful ring ceremony was said. The bride's girlish attractiveness was enhanced by her full bridal costume of white meteor over satin, trimmed in seed pearls, the bodice having a fichu caught at the side with a pearl rosette. With the costume was worn a tulle veil extending the full length of the court train, and arranged about their hair with a wreath of orange blossoms. Her shower bouquet of bride's roses, lilies-of-the-valley and ferns was tied with tulle streamers. The matron of honor wore a creation of white marquisette over orange satin with a yoke of real lace. She carried a large bouquet of yellow and white chrysanthemums. The flower-bearers were beautifully attired in white. After the ceremony a supper of two courses, in which was shown the color scheme, was served. Especially notable were the ices which were moulded into the shape of hearts, a small yellow one being placed in the center of a large white one. The bridal table was beautifully covered with a square of Mexican drawn work over which was scattered ferns laid in the form of fans. The bride's cake constituted the center-piece and was built to form a pyramid on the summit of which rested a tiny bride's slipper. At each corner of the table stood tall silver candle-sticks with white shades sending forth yellow lights. The bride has been popular in Nashville society since her debut and has a charming personality which has won for her a host of friends who will regret that her marriage takes her to another city to reside. Mrs. Moore's going-away costume was a gray tailor-made suit worn with a white beaven hat trimmed in willow plumes. A party of friends accompanied the couple to the depot where they took the 9:10 o'clock train for Pratt City, Ala. The out-of-town guests included relatives of both the bride and groom, whose popularity was attested by a valuable collection of gifts including silver, cut glass, bank checks, etc. BANQUET TO REV.

Watch the Globe and the local boards for the date. This is a real treat for the city of Nashville. a MEHARRY FISK GAME. (Continued from Page 1) on defense, though he was not suc- cessful in attack. the play was a lit- tle fast for him. What shall we say of Canady and Brown, Meharry’s tackles? Were we to talk and describe from the rising of the sun to the setting thereof, the half could not be told. Canady with his dreadful fwlk time after time tore up the Fisk line and made his ten and twelve yards; time and t¢me again he stopped the rushes of the enemy; in fact, the only man on Fisk’s team that could make any headway and gain any glory through his side of the line was the unspeak- able Powell. Brown? He is the most graceful and the most joy-inspiring player the writer has ever seen. Dead- ly and unerring in his tackling ana stopping of plays; skilful and accu- rate and courageous in his attack; he arouses all the aesthetic. polemics in a man’s nature, Fisk's center, a real novice at the game, was a most interesting study. He was every- where tackling and never tiring, as often on the ends as any other place. ‘The guards were all husky, even if incompatible in size. McBeth, Fisk, is so low that he seems inconsequen- tial; but ah, so deceiving! It. is doubtful if one inch of ground was gained over his allotted space. How- ell, his mate, was more aggressive, and was sometimes seen mixing it away from his station. Captain Kin- dle did not play his usual offensive game always so attractive, for when he first tried a kick, he sprained his leg; but he was all, all, and very much all there in the defense and in handling his men. He’s a great cap- tain as well as a great player. Meharry’s back field was not the equal of Fisk, even Lewis clearly out- played and outgeneraled the mighty Zubar, and that is playing some! Me- harry’s daughty general lifted a beau- tiful goal from the field. As to team play, there was the greatest difference and had Meharry adopted in the be ginning what she adopted in the fourth quarter, there might have been a different tale to tell; for often it was found out that Fisk could not stop her opponents’ back field, regard- less of what was attempted. Zubar began to change his mode of attack, using his big guards as interference for his mighty tackles; the rushes were practically unstoppable, and time and time alone saved Fisk from a dreadful possibility. Fisk showed superiority; she played the plays that won and played them in time, That shift of Meharry’s was awful. Once and again it swept the whole Fisk line into nothingness; but out of somewhere some Fisk man would rise and throttle the man with the ball before too much damage was done. Fisk shone in her following the ball and in her dazzling execution of ths forward pass, as well as in breaking up the forward passes of the enemy. She also excelled in handling of punts, and although Sublette fumbled one bail, he was all there ever after- wards and was in a great degree re sponsible for the outcome of the game. ‘Well, the game is over and is his- tory. Fisk is happy and Meharry ought not to be sorry, for she played a great game, and the game was clean and grand. ‘Those twenty-two young men were all tried by the fire and the greatest and most gratifying result of the game is that it was a gentle- manly game, in which all the qualities of manhood were tested to the break- ing point and no man was found wanting. The officials, Messrs, Cam- eron, referee; Johnson, umpire; Davis, field judge, and Washington, head linesman, did an altogether sa- tisfactory day's work. iB CHANGE IN THE IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT. | Little attention has been given to the fact that, in the course cf the year which is just closing, a marked change in the movement of immigra- tion to this country occurred. It is only comparable in the recorded his: tory of American immigration to the similar change which took place in the years 1907-08. ‘There has been a great decrease in immigration cou- pled with an equally large increase in the number returning to Europe. Between January 1 and September 50, 1911, only 450,670 persons landed en our shore from the third class cabins of the transatlantic liners. While some ardent restrictionist might assert that this total was large cnough, yet it was less than two- thirds the number who came to us in the same class in the course of the corresponding period of last year. ‘The exact falling off was 278,424, or 38.18 per cent. Perhaps a knowledge of the fact that the number of those who sailed eastward in the steerage in the course of the nine months which closed on September 30 was 300,040, or 66.55 per cent of the to- tal of those who entered, and an In- crease over the number who went to Europe last year of 35.47 per cent., will cause our restrictionist friend to go to the length of throwing up his hat in his enthusiasm. The remark- able character of this change in ebb and flow is recognized waen it is stated that the ebb in normal times has been found to average about 30 ver cent. of the flow. Ths notable | alteration in the currents of the) “great human tide” is undoubtedly to be interpreted as an indication of a considerable reduction in the indus- trial activity of the country which, owing toa more centralized control and a more conservative attitude of capital, has not exhibited {itself in a violent form, and therefore, until re- cently has been little observed. Those who have comprised the bulk of the eastward flow, it is reported, have been “inside” men, that 1s, industrial workers. Early in September it was noted that “outside,” or outdoor, la- borers were joining the stream in larger proportion than is customary at that season. The conclusion 1s further emphasized by the marked reduction in the demand for labor in New York State shown recently in the returns made to the Bureau of Labor Statistics at Albany by the trade unions of the State. These In- dieated that during the first half ot the year the percentage of idleness among their members was higher than at any time within recent years, with the exception of 1908, when the country was in the grip of a financial depression. The chief increases in unemployment were reported from the metal, building and transporta- tion trades. These industries em- ploy large numbers of alien laborers, —From “The Ebb and Flow of the Immigration Tide,” by Herbert Fran- cis Sherwood, in the American Re- view of Reviews for December, CHARLIE SANDERS DIES SUD- DENLY. Early Wednesday morning little Charlie Sanders, son of Mra. Alberta Sanders, daughter of Bishop Evans Tyree, died in Shelbyville, Tenn. Little Charlie had been indisposed for some time, but kept up a cheer- fulness that was a part of his nature. ‘The funeral took place Friday at the residence of his grandparents, 15 North Hill street. His mother and relatives ask to express their grati- ture to their friends for the sympathy and assistance shown in their be- Teavement. paar KEMPER HARRELD AT WALDEN. Friday evening, December 1, there was given at Walden Auditorium a violin recital by Mr. Kemper Harreld, of Atlanta Baptist College, assisted by Miss Maud Roberts, of Jackson, Tenn, The entertainment was given in the interest of the Hubbard Hospi- tal. Mr. Hurreld has not appeared here before, but whenever he choses to return he will have an interesting an enthusiastic audience Decause his playing made a full and deep impres- sion upon those who heard him, While in his technique he is not quite so finished as either Clarence White or Joseph Douglass, due, no doubt, to his youth, still his tones are broad, pure, expressive and soul-filled. In these respects he is fully equal to either of the aforesaid artists. Mr. Harreld is a real artist, and with his inclination to study is certainly some day to be named among the select. The singing of Miss Roberjg was indeed welcomed to the audience. While in Nashville as a teacher at Walden she was quite a favorite and to hear her again was a treat. Her voice was as sweet and as charming as ever, but she was rather unfortu- nate in one or two selostions which were suited to a voice paore robust and dramatic. Her voice is a pure, lyric voice and passages in these com- positions demanding great breadth and power show her to a disadvan- tage. Giving her art to those delicate songs that comport with her beauti- ful voice, she is resistless. The audi- ence, which was generous in all its proportions, was a compliment to the occasion.

LOWERY AND MORGAN'S Mighty Minstrels OPEN THE MAJESTIC CHRISTMAS WEEK Nashville's Negro Play House Engages One of the Strongest Aggrega tions of Talent for its Initial Opening December 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th MATINEES AND NIGHT It is with pleasure that the owners of THE MAJESTIC announce the engagement of the famous Lowery and Morgan's Mighty Minstrels for the Christmas week, every day, matinee and night. This company with 25 people is headed by Prof. P. G. Lowery, the most noted band master of the race and one of the best in the nation, ranking with Creatore, Sousa and others. Every one is an artist in his line and those fond of music, melody and mirth will find plenty to satisfy them with 25 of the funniest colored people ever lived. This splendid company travels in their own private car. Each day at 12 o'clock the band will give a grand street parade, and a concert in front of THE MAJESTIC every night at 7 o'clock. During same, such famous selections as William Tell, Il Trovatore, Bohemian Girl and other classics will be rendered. Their 6 funny end men, their high class singers and entertainers, and their symphony orchestra will without a doubt give our people one of the best musical comedy entertainments they ever witnessed. Prof. Lowery has been called before the crowned heads of Europe, and is the proud possessor of a golden cornet presented to him abroad. Their funny end men, high class singers, dancers, musicians and "Steamboat Bill's" famous Mississippi River Quartette, Challenge Band, and orchestra make the best musical and comedy entertainment on the road. That our people need a public auditorium has been a fact commented upon daily for years. "Why don't some of our leaders put up a Theatre or some place big enough to go?" has been a question propounded thousands upon thousands of times; but no one man or set of men has been willing to answer the question. The Skydome was an experiment and when we promised the people that some day we would erect for them a house, many applauded and others said "not so." Single handed and alone, with the abiding faith in the race, we have started them a place, which when completed will be a credit to the race. We need an auditorium other than our churches for recitals, literary entertainments, concerts by home talent and for the accommodation of such shows as Lowery and Morgan's Minstrels, Black Patti Troubadours, the Smart Set and numerous Negro companies which come only as far south as Louisville and return north because the white th-atres have closed their doors to Negro talent. If white theatres close their doors to Negro actors regardless of their merit and ability and consign Negro patrons to the alley entrance and peanut gallery, it becomes men of the race to combine their money and brain and set up places of amusemnt where colored actors can perform and colored JOHN BURKE people have a front entrance and a bottom floor. The owner of THE MAJESTIC is no practical show man. He knows but a small amount about the show business. He is aware that other gentlemen of the race have discussed the advisability and feasibility of a play house at various and sunny times and if there are now men in Nashville with means, who want to operate a first class show house, we are willing that they can be given a chance to cooperate in the conduct and management of THE MAJESTIC. At the present time we have no contracts or engagements beyond Lowery and Morgan's Minstrels. THE MAJESTIC is not completed yet. It will be ready for receptions, ordinary shows, rentals, etc. immediately following the Lowery and Morgan engagement; but it is the purpose of the owner to continue to beautify and embellish the same right along, continuously until it will suit the most fastidious, both the public and performers. The auditorium is so constructed that day and night sessions of large gatherings of people, such as lectures and Grand Lodge sessions can be had and will be for rent. Nashville has needed just such a place for years and now they have it down in the center of the city. As previously stated, no saloon will ever be allowed in connection with the place and at no time will it be let to persons or parties who will allow alcoholic liquors used. The manager has used all honorable means to prevent the establishment of a saloon in the block and has the promise and assurance from "the powers that be" that no saloon will be allowed next door to the theatre. When all honorable and legal means fail, if we should be so unfortunate) we pledge and now publicly declare that no pass out checks will be given or allowed, that men may go out and imbibe and return, and the right to revoke the terms of any ticket by refunding the price of admission will be always retained by the owner. There are enough places already for all who want to drink and it is not our purpose to indirectly aid in the support of any saloon, especially when we need a place of amusement for our good people, our women and our children. The owner of THE MAJESTIC promised the people of Nashville, when he opened business here some years ago that he would set a precedent—make a model place of business and he has demonstrated that fact to the most skeptical. The magnificent buildings upon the popular Cedar street, that thoroughfare leading up to Capitol Hill, attest his ability to fulfill any promise made our people. The spendid increasing success each succeeding year attests the popular confidence of the people for which he is very appreciative and thankful. That he will give the people of Nashville the finest place of amusement in time, is a fact that he will demonstrate just as certain as he has given them the most magnificent and elegant Funeral Directory of any colored man on earth and seldem equaled and never surpassed by any white concern on the American Continent. The owner is not adverse to advice or suggestions in the conduct of THE MAJESTIC. He is not selfish, but will welcome any such and in fact would hail with delight the formation of a company of colored whose capital and brains would combine to put on a continuous show and believes it would pay handsome dividends. The impulse causing the erection of THE MAJESTIC was the unhappy sight of seeing our people—men women and children, ignorant and in intelligent—rubber necking in white moving picture and vaudeville shows on Fifth avenue or adorning the peanut gallery and parading the alley of other theatres. Without concluding the condition or the people, we conceived a happier solution of the situation, the establishment of a place of our own with confidence that our people will patronize it in prosopion as it deserves patronage. The patronage given Lowery and Morgan by the people of Nashville will be taken as an index of what Nashville people want by other Negro companies who have their eyes turned this way. A first class lodge hall is being built in the new Johnson Building which will be for rent to reputable Orders and Ladies Courts. If your Court needs a better meeting place, get busy before all the afternoons and nights are taken. The Majestic is just the place for receptions and banquets of magnitude. Your Grand Lodge sessions can be held in Nashville since The Majestic is built. Ask those who know what it means to have a beech floor.—The Majestic has it. No. The Majestic is not completed. The owner means to continue to beautify and embellish it continuously. Give it your support and watch the transformation. Everybody? Certainly not. The Majestic was built for the soberly, clean, well behaved, decorous, patriotic, race loving decent, colored people. The noisy, disorderly and unclean have no place built for them. They have a place reserved for the work house. The Majestic will not be jammed and packed. The Minstrels will play here six matinees and nights and only the seating capacity will be sold. You can get your tickets for any day want them. You will be comfortable at The Majestic and safe, not jammed and packed
