CHRISTMAS EDITION TWENTY-FOUR PAGES NASHVILLE GLOBE. TWENTY-FOUR PAGES VOL. VI. GHRISTMAS SHOPPING PEOPLE FLOCKING TO CITY DAILY. Business Houses Are Crowded. GLOBE REPRESENTATIVE INTERVIEWS MERCHANTS—ALL PREDICT BIG SALES FOR HOLIDAYS BUYERS FROM MANY NEARBY TOWNS-EVERYBODY TRYING TO PURCHASE EARLY GREAT CREATIONS IN DISPLAYS—THEY ONLY HINT AT WHAT IS ON INSIDE — NASHVILLE'S LEADING MERCHANTS READY TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. Do your Christmas shopping early and avoid the rush. The early buyers get the cream and the pick of the varied holiday assortment now so lavishly displayed in the Nashville trade emporiums. To say that Nashville is a trade center would be putting it mildly. The city "offers opportunity" in all lines of trade. Never before in its history has Nashville enjoyed such a phenomenal trade. Every merchant you run across is beaming with smiles. The stores are crowded and the streets are thronged with early Christmas shoppers. People from nearby towns are coming in on every train in order to get the benefit of Nashville's splendid market. The big stores are fairly alive with eager buyers. Everything points to the most remarkable season ever enjoyed by the merchants of the city. The Globe representative was told by one of Nashville's big merchants that the colored people, too, seemed to have their share of this world's goods, and that their trade was much sought after, as most of them always had the ready cash. This, he said, was especially true of the Negro farmer who is now considered an important factor. A visit to any of the business establishments will convince one of the rapid strides the city is making along commercial lines. This holiday trade is certainly an eye-opener and a record breaker. All past records have been completely smashed. Nashville is just simply getting there in a hurry. The crowds on the streets and in the stores get larger as the holidays approach. We would advise all housewives to make their Christmas purchases now as it will not pay to delay in the matter. If you wait too long you will be subjected to much worry and discomfort by the immense throng that is sure to be in evidence just previous to Christmas. If shopping is done now you have the choice of the splendid assortment that is now on the counters for your inspection. To the men, we would advise that if you wish to make your wife or sweetheart a present Christmas you had better hurry, as the better grades will be gobbled up by out-of-town buyers before the holidays. Our advice to all is to go and do your Christmas shopping today, as delays are always to your disadvantage. The H. G. Hill Grocery and Baking Company operates 26 stores which are full of good things to eat. We would suggest that in placing your order for your Christmas fruits, candies, etc., that you drop in one of Hill's stores and inspect the tempting good things that they offer. If you are going to have a big dining or any kind of social function you can not afford to miss going to Hill's. Cain Sloan Company, the Timothy Dry Goods Store are live wires. The holiday offerings are the best ever shown in this city, the ladies are enraptured by the latest showings, their broadleads, silks, satins, mull and flannels are just splendid. Their ladies' ready to wear tailor made garments are veritable dreams of loveliness. Their show windows give one but a faint idea of the immensity of these institutions. The floor manager at Cain-Sloan Company assured the Globe man that they had the largest and finest stock of goods ever in their mercantile existence. Mr. Oliver NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY DECEMBER 15, 1911 A Word to Globe Readers. This is the time to do your Christmas shopping. You want to get the worth of your money when you make a purchase.

TO ELIMINATE FOOL GRADUATE. Plan of Kansas Educational Commission By Associated Press. Topeka, Kans., December 14.—The elimination of the "fool graduate" is the plan of the Kansas Educational Commission which is holding a session here. The commission has instituted an educational survey of the state and is finding out all about cost and efficiency in schools of all classes. "The phrase 'fool graduates' is far too popular to be without some basis," said Wm. Allen White, of Emperia, editor and member of the commission, yesterday. "There is a profound feeling throughout America, and especially in Kansas, that lots of the stuff taken on by the child and youth in the guise of education is what lawyers call incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial and not the best of education. "We are getting information to show whether it pays to give the ordinary boy or girl, who becomes a business man or a mechanic or a mother, a course in higher mathematics and algebra and the geography of Kamchatka, and to englec to educate them in the knowledge of trees, grasses and crops, and to know the names of the creeks of his township." AFRICAN METHODISTS TO HAVE BIG PUBLISHING PLANT IN NASHVILLE. Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of the A. M. E. Church Sunday-School Publishing house has just returned from Alabama, where he has been attending the Annual Conferences. Mr. Bryant is the champion of a scheme to consolidate the printing of the A. M. E. Church the same as is done by the white Methodists, with branch houses in the east and west. He presented his plan to the Alabama Conferences, four in number, and from all indications the proposition was well received. What was true in the Alabama Conferences seems to be the general opinion. The leading men throughout the connection are favorable toward any plan that will facilitate the affairs of the church, and Mr. Bryant, in his clear cut and plain spoken manner convinces the most pessimistic that his plan is no pipe dream. If the plan goes, and every indication points in that direction, Nashville will be a big gainer. The printing of the Arrican Methodist Church would swell that feature of Nashville industries to much greater proportions and would give employment to many more young Negro men and women. At present the printing of the connection is scattered all over the country, but the house here has the only plant that amounts to any thing, and this fact enhances Nashville's chance to get the central plant, which will be the most important. Another matter that took tangible shape was the selection of Alabama's choice in the person of Dr. Allen, the venerable editor of the Southern Christian, who will be supported for bishop. This move on the part of the Alabama delegates opens the way for Dr. J. A. Jones, of Tennessee, for editor to succeed Dr. Allen. Dr. Jones is at prestant president of Turner Normal College at Shelbyville. He is a native son of Nashville and his friends are pulling for him. Dr. Jones is a forceful write and would, it is believed, make great success as editor of one of the papers in his church. If elected he would in all probability move the headquarters to Nashville. WOULD PUT STOP TO THE LYNCHING Pittsburgh, Penn., December 14. Declaring that more than fifty lives had been sacrificed within the past six months, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, in session here yesterday adopted resolutions calling on Christian churches to put an end to the practice and to protest vigorously against all forms of mob violence. The resolutions commanded the press North and South for "its brave and fearless attack upon lynchings." GOVERNMENT TO PROHIBIT IMPORTATION OF ABSINTHE AFTER JANUARY 1. Washington, December 14.—Declaring absinthe the dangerous to health the Pure Food Board of the Department of Agriculture decided that its importation into the United States should be prohibited after January 1, next. The order awaits the signature of the Secretary of Agriculture before before coming effective. "It is well recognized in all countries that have had experience therewith," says the decision, "that the use of the beverage known as absinthe is dangerous to health." Dr. Wiley, head of the Chemistry Board, declared "absinthe one of the No. 50 "SONG AND STORY" CLUB ORGANIZED Prof. John W. Work General Director. BOYS IN RADIUS OF HALF MILE MEMBERS—FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY THROWS OPEN THE DOORS TO THE BOYS— HAVE THEIR OWN OFFICERS AND CONDUCT THE R AFFAIRS —PRESIDENT GATES AND OTHERS HAVE ADDRESSED THE MEETING—BEST SUBJECTS DISCUSSED—BIG TIME PLANNED FOR THE HOLIDAYS—CODE TO DATE. There has been recently organized at Fisk University a boys' club under the direction of Prof. J. W. Work. The organization goes under the title of "The Song and Story Club" and meets every Friday afternoon at 4:30 at Prof. Work's home, the Training School or in Livingstone Hall. The faculty of Fisk University has arranged for the use of one of the university rooms as a permanent home for the club. Up to date, the membership has reached forty-six and is composed of a number of as interesting youngsters as could be found anywhere, and these come from a radius of a half mile of Fisk University. They have their own officers and transact their business in ways both interesting and original. Elmer Stevens is president, John Work, Jr., vice president, Leftridge, secretary, and Lenider Crostwait, assistant secretary. Dixie Douglass is chief peace officer. At each meeting some speaker or singer entertains the club, among whom are Prof. T. W. Talley, President G. A. Gates, Rev S. L. Howard, Rev R. R. T. Weatherby, Mr. J. C. Olden, Mrs. H. A. Cameron and Miss Bessie Green. Prof. G. E. Haynes has addressed the club twice and has lent valuable aid to Prof. Work in the conduct of affairs. The plan laid out for the organization is that the story of some good man's life be told at each meeting, or that some inspiring songs be sung and explained by those well-prepared to do so, which will be an inspiration to the boys, that opportunity be given for the different games in their seasons, foot ball, track athletics, base ball, etc., under competent supervision, and that there shall be a camping trip sometimes during the summer season. Friday night before Christmas the club is to have a 'possum supper and sometime during the winter there is to be a concert in one of the churches. The code of the organization as far as has been worked out is: Be Kind, Be Brave, Be Good, Be Truthful, Be Clean. FIRE AT FISK UNIVERSITY. About 5:45 Thursday night the people in the vicinity of Fisk University were startled by a sudden illumination. Upon investigation it developed that the large barn just below Eighteenth avenue was afire. A large crowd soon gathered. No dwellings were in eminent danger, so all attention was turned to the stock in the barn. Before a fire engine of any kind arrived the fire had done its work, and all that could be done was to put out the smoldering flames. worst enemies of man; and if we keep the people of the United States from being slaves to this demon, we will do it." Belgium and Switzerland have forbidden the manufacture of absinthe, and France has instituted rigid regulations over its manufacture and sale. The decision has been sent out in tentative form to importers and others interested and suggestions from them will be wanted before the Secretary of Agriculture makes the final decision. OVER A MILLION DOLLAR RECORD The One-Cent Savings Bank of Nashville, Tennessee, Shows Splendid Gains Through Conservative Management THOSE WHO DESIRE AN INVESTMENT SHOULD CALL AT THE BANK. OR PHONE MAIN 1951. At the Annual Stockholder's Meeting in January, no doubt the usual dividend will be declared. There is an institution in Nashville which lays claim to having handled successfully and very accurately nearly one and a half million dollars, belonging entirely to members of the race. The story of the One-Cent Savings Bank makes interesting reading matter. This bank was established in Nashville in face of the fact that scores and scores of people had declared openly that a Negro Bank for Nashville was a matter of impossibility. This of course was idle gossip, for when strong, conservative business men, who had under discussion this contemplated organization, thought of it, they were not counting without their host. They put their business experiences and years of actual contact together, and this was the guaranty that the venture would be a success. The bank has continued to thrive and there has not been one year since the organization of the institution and opening of its doors but that it has surpassed its previous years in business. Aside from this, the net earnings of the institution have been steady and constantly increaseing. This institution has paid in cash each year as high a dividend as the law to the State of Tennessee would permit, that is a 6 per cent annual dividend has been declared in January of each year since 1905. In other words, 30 per cent of the original capital stock subscribed and paid in by the stockholders has been returned to them, e.g. the individual, who took out one share of stock to the amount of $5.00 has been given in actual cash $1.50 on stock, and yet the $5.00 paid in is worth $6.25.

Arranged for the Nashville Globe It is marvelous, how the institution has stamped itself indelibly upon the hearts of the citizens of Nashville and the State of Tennessee. Long since it has been known as a rock-ribbed, safe investment and has been looked upon as one of Nashville's most reliable institutions. As an investment of stock this bank has proven most attractive. Officers and Directors of The One Cent Savings Bank this year. Arranged f The personnel of the large list of stockholders, who come from every walk of life, guarantees success. For this reason the citizens of Nashville have supported the institution, bearing it up by their patronage, leaving it, as it were, in a class by itself among other institutions, some that have been in existence eight or ten years longer than this one.

Close investigation reveals the fact that on its Board of Directors and among its stockholders appear the most cosmopolitan and representative men and women that could be gotten together for the good of the people. The minister, the layman, the professional man, laborer, and artisan in fact, every avocation among the people of the city of Nashville is represented in the stockholders or on the Board of Directors of the institution. A glance at the directorate will remove any chance for an argument or doubt along any lines. The officers of the institution have individually succeeded, each having splendid records of achievements in the business world. Both the president and cashier stand out prominently as two of the most noted Negro characters in the United States. The president has built, aside from the bank, the most mammoth, religious business enterprise owned and operated by members of the race, an institution backed up by a constituency of two and a half million Negroes. The cashier by his courage and thrift has worked his way up into the political arena until he was recognized by the president of the United States and honored with the position of Registrar of the United States Treasury. This has put the stock of the One-Cent Savings Bank among the most coveted of any financial concern of the race. Notwithstanding this, the stockholders, the Board of Directors and the officials stand with open arms and glad hands to sell to those who desire stock or to put their pennies into the savings department, or who desire to open accounts with an institution whose checks are recognized on two continents. The bank will open an account with any individual for as small an amount as one-cent, hence its name the One-Cent Savings Bank. Money invested in stock in this institution is a perpetual income to you and your posterity. OFFICERS. R. H. BOYD ..... President J. W. BOSTIC ..... Vice President J. W. Grant ..... 2nd.

She was a very young mother, indeed the childish expression was still on her round brown face and in her mild brown eyes. At times she could hardly realize that she was the proud possessor of the little home, the strong, brave man, who was her husband, and the two little brown cherubs, who gave her so much trouble and at the same time so much pleasure; yet, when remarks were made about her extreme youthfulness, and the cares she must have with the farm and the two babies, she would unconsciously clasp them closer to her, as if she thought she might clinch your argument by taking them from her. This morning she arose as usual, but she could not get her work in proper shape. There was a wrinkle in her forehead and the eyes that always sparkled with cheer, were troubled. For more than an hour she had been trying to wash the breakfast dishes, but her hands seemed heavy, and several times she had come near letting one of the precious pieces fall to the floor. while she gazed abstractedly out of the window. Finally, she gave it up and sank a sobbing heap into a chair. Leaning on the table, with her head buried in her arms, she repeated to herself, "Two days more till Christmas and no Santa Claus for the little darlings." There was a stop in the hall. Had she been in her usual mood, she would have heard it, but this morning everything was black and her mind was far away, so she did not know when a tall, strong man stopped in the doorway. For a minute he looked puzzled, not seeing her in her usual place, then as his eyes became accustomed to the dimness of the room, after the bright sunshine, he discerned the bundle in the chair, and was on the eve of rushing to her assistance, when the words "Two days more till Christmas and no Santa Claus for the little darlings," came to his ears. He stood as if rooted to the spot, then turned and tipped silently out of the house. Once out of the house he made his way to the barn where "Mike," the mule and his old friend, had his stall. He had been in the habit of telling "Mike" all his troubles, since he could not often bring himself to dispell the halo made by his wife's smile, but to-day he thought "Mike" turned a reproachful eye on him. This was more than he could stand, so he put his hand on his friend's neck, "It isn't my fault, you know "Mike." I've done all I could. The debt had to be paid and it took all the money. You understand, "Mike." "Mike" seemed to how his head in grave solemnity while he ate his fodder. The whole thing came about in this way. They bought their farm from old man Jones, a white man, who, with his wife and Sam, the old servant, lived in the log house on the hill. Rumor had it that old man Jones was rich and a miser, and most folks said, he would drive his wife and old Sam away, were it not for the fact that his wife worked cheaper than he could hire a woman, and Sam kept him in practice when it came to "cussing," so both were essential to his welfare. For a long while John and his wife did very well, paying the old man the notes when they were due, but eventually sickness and other things, upon which they had not counted, caused them to get behind, and the old man, who would not stand for any laxity in business, demanded that the notes be paid on a certain day. When the last note was paid, John had only one dollar and fifty cents left, but he solaced Mike as best he could. "Well, old man, it will be a tight squeeze, but we will pull through." As for old man Jones, the paying of the notes removed one of his grievances; and though he was glad to get the money, it made him angry to think that he had nothing to growl about and bent on having something to vent his spleen on, he set out to look over his garden and soon came upon John's calf daintily nibbling the collard sprouts he had bedded in the lower part of the garden. So glad was he to have a cause for anger, that he forgot to drive the calf before him, but leaving him to finish his breakfast, plodded down the road to John's house. He entered the yard and knowing that Clara would be in the kitchen made his way there. At first he thought no one was in the room, but soon he discovered her just as John found her an hour before, and thinking she might be ill, he was about to call her name, when her mumbled words came to him and slowly his mind comprehended their meaning. His old heart softened for a minute and he tipped half way across the floor towards the door. He caught himself; he was losing an opportuni- By CORA JUANITA JORDAN. ty to "cuss" and the temptation was about to overcome him, when the figure at the table stirred, and he made for the door as if he were a criminal, and disappeared down the road. He would have entered his own house quietly, but the sight of Sam brought on the habit and soon the air was filled with the sulphureous ejaculations. His wife hearing the noise outside retired from sight and neither she nor Sam ventured any questions, when the old man rode off a few minutes later in the wagon towards town. When the old man returned Christmas eve's night, with the wagon full of packages, Mrs. Jones could hardly believe her eyes and when he unwrapped a large doll to see that it was not broken, her next move was to gasp for breath, while at the same time, she made it a little nearer to the door, so that if he should prove to be crazy she would not have far to go before she reached an opening. The old man was so interested in his task that he forgot the rest of the party, but his examination over, he turned and finding the others gazing at him with startled eyes, yelled at his wife and threw the wrapping paper from the package in Sam's face and incidentally in his mouth, for Sam was so struck with excitement that he had lost control of his facial muscles and consequently there was a yawning gap midway his face. "Sam," growled old man Jones, "do you know that little cedar behind the barn?" "Yesslr," answered Sam in wonder- ment. "Well, don't take so long to answer. I want that tree here in five minutes." Sam made for the door and in less than five minutes the tree was lying before the fire. "What are you waiting for? Haven't you any sense at all? Don't you see I want a box, hammer, nails and some sand?" Sam hurried out the door while Mrs. Jones began to scramble in the chest for the nails and hammer. Soon they were all there, and without a word from any one the tree was soon substantially installed in its box of sand. When the packages were unwrapped, Sam and Mrs. Jones began to gasp again. There were silver decorations for the tree and everything that a boy and girl could possibly need. There were two pairs or women's shoes, of which Mrs. Jones secretly hoped that one pair would be hers, and two pairs of men's shoes of which Sam knew one pair would be his because of their enormous size. When only one pair of the men shoes went on the tree, Mrs. Jones heaved a sigh of relief, and when the largest pair of men's shoes was left Sam again let his lips drop. Neither Mrs. Jones nor Sam felt privileged to help dress the tree without an invitation, and yet they did not know how it would take for them to stand and see the old man do all the work, so every time he would turn his face in their direction, each would make a move to get out of sight. Finally Mr. Jones realized that he was at work and the others idle. He turned with a glare on his wife and that lady immediately began dressing the tree with the bright tussel while Sam knowing that he would not be needed in that direction but at the same time knowing that something was expected of him, fell to his knees and began smoothing the sand with his hands. Assured that all were at work as well as himself, Mr. Jones finished putting the gifts on the tree. When the work of dressing the tree was over there was tense silence in the room, while Mr. Jones surveyed it from side to side. Neither Mrs. Jones or Sam dared sit down, lest something would be required of them, yet they knew that they were not supposed to venture any remark concerning its beauty, so they stood in their plaeces trying as best they could to look as the old man would have them look: Finally he went to the fire, and drawing up his chair began to smoke his pipe. The other two knew that the gifts not on the tree were for them, and yet they did not dare take them without being bidden, still they knew that to allow them to remain on the table would anger the old man. After a minute, Mrs. Jones picked up what she thought rightly belonged to her and approaching her husband was about to thank him, when he looked at her so fiercely that she almost fell over a chair, while Sam, utterly disconcerted, made for his room, raking off the table what he thought might belong to him. Mrs. Jones did not appear again that night and Mr. Jones soon fell asleep. Sam knew that something more was required of him, though Mr. Jones had failed to explain, so peeping in the door a few hours later and finding the way clear, he sat down by the fire. About one o'clock the old man began to stir and Sam knew that the mystery would soon be explained. "Sam, did you unhitch the horse?" "Naw sar, you sed fur her to stay dar." "Do you think you can put this tree in the wagon without tearing it all to pieces?" "Naw sar, but you and me can." "You impertinent rascal, that was not the question," stormed the old man at the same time taking hold of one side of the box. They did not speak while the tree was being transferred to the wagon and Sam was in a dilemma. He knew that he was expected to drive and yet he was afraid to ask where to drive. After pondering a few minutes he solved the problem by saying, Mr. Jones, you'd better drive and I'll walk long to see that nothing draps off." This suiting the old man they departed. When they drew near John's house the old man stopped the wagon and waited for Sam to catch up. Without an explanation, he drew the box to the edge of the wagon and Sam caught it by the side. When they reached the yard the old man walked on his toes and Sam taking the hint did the same thing. As they neared the house the old man ventured the assertion that all were in bed but Sam true to his training merely nodded. Silently they entered the open porch and set the tree down. As it was about to rest on the floor the old man let his end drop with a thud and swore at Sam for being so clumsy. It was nearly two o'clock when they reached home again, and after putting the horse up, Sam went to his room and was soon snoring lustily. At John's house the next morning he awoke and made a fire, for he knew the children would be awake early and then went back to bed in order that he might not observe their disappointment when they awoke and found only a few home-made cookies and candy in their stockings. He had not been in bed long when he heard something hit the floor with J. B. ROBINSON Soft Drinks - Cigars - Tobacco I WANT YOUR PATRONAGE Cor. 3rd Ave., N. and Locust St. NASHVILLE, TENN. W. B.

The children took down the stockings. "What's in yours, Buddle?" "Tandy and takes. What's in yours?" "Candy and cakes." There was silence for just one minute and then Buddie spoke: "I know why 'ou didn't det the doll, sister. Her was too big to det in 'our stocking. Maybe Tanta Taus put her on the twee outside. 'Ou knows that Tanta likes to put 'em on tweens." The two in the bed held their breath, while the little feet pattered across the floor. They could hardly open the door, but at last it gave way to their efforts and swung open. There was a scream of delight that made the two in bed jump, and before they were aware four little brown hands were tugging at the covers on the bed. "Det up, mama, det up, papa, and see the b'utiful tree, dolls, wags'n, horses, red tandy and takes and evy thing. Det up!" Buddie ended in a scream of delight while his little sister kept one eye on the tree and at the same time extended her invitation. They jumped out of bed and could hardly believe their eyes. There it stood, a beautiful little cedar gorgeously decorated, laden with toys and useful gifts. The little brown mother put out her hands to see if it was real, and the father could hardly restrain the tears in his eyes. She was the first to speak. "Come, children, let us give thanks to God for the little Baby that was born on Christmas morning." They all went in and knelt around the great arm chair and the father was beginning the prayer when Buddle's piping voice excalimed, "Please mama, tan't the twee tum in too?" The tree was brought in and set in the middle of the floor, and the children content, put their chubby brown hands over their little eyes and remained quiet while the father poured out his heart to his Maker, asking for faith "even as a little child." Here We Are Again Ready for 1912 The National Baptist Sunday-School Lesson Commentary, published annually by the National Baptist Publishing Board, is Now Ready. National Baptist Publishing Board, give them, but when to shade from the sun and how much air to give at any certain times, are things which every grower must learn for himself by actual experience. As a general rule plants will require air whenever the sun is shining, especially where grass is used for covering; on the other hand they will nearly always need protection from the wind and sun when freshly transplanted, a strong wind blowing directly on freshly set plants causes them to wilt worse than hot sunshine. I always transplant twice when possible, as plants that have been moved twice are of much stockier growth, and have a better root system and stand moving to the field without so much of a set-back as is given those that have only been transplanted one time. The cultivation of these crops is practically the same, but rows for the crops, except tomatoes, need not be over 3 1-2 feet wide, and tomatoes would yield well enough at this distance, but the stakes make cultivation in narrow rows troublesome. For varieties of tomatoes we grow Imperial, Beauty, Truckers' Favorite and Globe. These are all purple sorts, which is the color most called for in our markets. The Globe seems to be less subject to Southern Blight than the other varieties mentioned, but is the least desirable shipper of the lot. We pack all tomatoes in four basket crates, and take especial care to have them as nearly uniform in size and color as possible. Big Boston and Hanson are standard head lettuce, and Ruby King and Neopolitan are standard sweet peppers. Both of these crops are shipped in hamper—holding about one bushel to the hamper. Charleston and Jersey Wakefield are the early cabbages grown, and shipped in crates which hold about 60 pounds each. The general principles which I mentioned in the beginning as being applicable to all growers and all soils alike, are thorough preparation and cultivation of the crop, the selection for planting of such varieties as do best in your section and that your market demands; unceasing care given the plants both in the bed and in the field, and the utmost pains taken to see that only sound, ripe, wellpacked stuff is put on the market. All these are essential to the success of any grower, and the neglect of any one of them may lead to disaster. Do not go into the business on too large a scale to begin with, but rather start in a small way until you acquire a working knowledge of the growth and disposal of these crops. Better not engage in the business at all unless you have a natural inclination for gardening. It is not an easy job, nor a get-rich-quick scheme, but one that requires a high order of intelligence and an unlimited push, if you expect to succeed. Determine just which crops suit you best to grow, and then stick to these crops regardless of yield or prices, for any one year the high-priced crop of this year may the low-priced one of next year, and vice versa. A final word and I am done, and that is, no matter how late you are in getting the crop off, even if it is as late as the 15th of August, sow the land where you have grown your truck in cow peas; these will gather nitrogen from the air, and not only keep up, but add to the fertility of your land. THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN. To the Colored People of the South: This is a season of the year when for several years it has been my privilege to call the attention of our people to the importance of improving the facilities for public school education. I mean the education of the masses of children in the small public schools. As I have said before, I think a very small percentage of the children of our race can be sent to any large boarding school. The masses must be educated at home in the small public schools if they are to get any education at all. As I have observed in studying conditions in most parts of the South, I find that the people on the whole deserve the greatest degree of credit for their efforts to educate their children. In many cases they pay tax themselves, aside from what they pay in the way of public taxes, in order to build public schoolhouses and extend school terms. This is all commendable. We want, however, to be sure that we go forward every year. If we do not go forward in providing better facilities, we will go backward, because the number of children to be educated is increasing each year. My special object in calling attention to this matter is to impress the ministers, business men, teachers and other leaders with the importance of having a good, comfortable, well furnished schoolhouse in every community. You will not accomplish much in the way of education. no matter how good a teacher may be secured, NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1911. 523 Second Avenue. North. NO TEACHER'S help cr Sunday-school commentary that has ever been offered to the public has created more propound impressions upon the minds of the Sunday-school workers than this volume, which is the ninth annual edition. More Than 10,000 Copies Published Last Year and sent to every part of the civilized world. The Baptists throughout the United States boasted justly that they were furnishing a book worthy of all the flattering compliments it received. The Commentary for 1912 contains a complete study of the International Series of Sundayschool lessons, having an exposition with each lesson, hints for the primary teachers and Bible dictionary for each quarter, in fact, it is highly regarded by those who have kept up with it as far superior to anything ever offered as a strictly Baptist periodical. The very fact that it is sound in doctrine makes it trustworthy and rellable as a teacher's guide. The editorial work by Rev. W. S. Ellington, A. B., D. D., who for years has labored untrifling with Dr. R. H. Boyd, assisted by an able corps of contributors and assistants, places the book upon an intellectual shelf especially made by its high-class appearance both as a literary and mechanical production. This Book Sells for 75c Per Copy in Cloth Binding $1.00 Per Copy in Half Morocco Binding To any Sunday-school that will send an order for five or more at one time, they will be shipped at 55c per copy, but the express charges will not be paid.

National 523 Second Aven without a good comfortable schoolhouse. In many cases, especially in the Gulf States, the schoolhouses provided for the education of the Negro children are disgraceful. In some cases they are not fit for animals to stay in. It is a cruel imposition upon teachers and pupils to compel them to sit in a cold, uncomfortable schoolhouse day by day. In such cases it is impossible for the children to learn anything. The thing that I urge upon each community is that they unite their efforts this fall and winter in providing a good, comfortable schoolhouse. If every person will contribute a small amount in the way of money or labor or some kind of farm produce, within a few months a good, comfortable schoolhouse can be built and furnished in every community in --- The National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary 1912 R. H. BOYD, Secretary which our people live. Good schoolhouses will mean in the future good teachers and a school term lasting eight or nine months in the year. If those who read this communication have not already a good schoolhouse in their community, I earnestly be seech them to begin at once to build one. One other thing: often a large amount of the money put into a school building is almost thrown away because no plan has been provided for the supervision of the work of erecting it. No matter how inexpensive the schoolhouse may be, care should be taken to get an architect or some other competent person to draw plans for the building. Wherever it is possible, of course, the public school authorities should be asked to provide public school facilities—should be ask- cd to provide a decent schoolhouse. Where it is not possible to obtain a suitable building from the authorities, the people should get together themselves and erect a schoolhouse that meets the needs of the pupils and teachers. In many of the cities and small towns in the South, thousands of children are suffering for education because there are not enough schoolhouses in the South to properly seat and provide for the Negro children. Wherever this is true, our leaders should come together and formulate their needs, and bring them before the public school authorities. They should continue to urge their needs until schoolhouses are provided for our people. I have noted that in some of the cities nearly one-half of the colored children are kept out of school house. obtain a morities, themse that ils and small of chilion be school-ly seat children. leaders imulate before They needs for our in some or are in school half a day because of lack of room. Our race, like other races, can only secure proper educational facilities in the cities by constantly urging their needs on the proper authorities. This should be done in every community and city where the public school authorities have undertaken the task of providing school buildings. I am glad to add that in many of the communities and cities of the South, creditable schoolhouses are provided in an increasing degree for the education of the Negro child. But we not only want to see that no backward step is taken, but that we go forward both in the country and city year by year in providing decent, comfortable school buildings.

WASHINGTON, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, December 11, 1911. TENESSEE PYTHIANISM. The Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A., believe in publicity. They seem to know what they want and they mince no words in asking for it. They have inaugurated a boosting campaign for an increased enrollment. The Knights desire 2,500 new members by July 1, 1912. The Calanthe Court wants 15,00 by that time. To say that these organizations are doing untold good for the Negro race would be but a feeble expression. They need no encomiums at our hands. The world knows that benevolence with Pythians and Calantheans is proverbal. That the order is strong all over the United States goes without saying. Their treasuries are full and overflowing. The personnel of its membership is all that could be asked. Dr. J. P. Crawford has been at the head of the organization in Tennessee ever since its inception. He has ruled wisely and well. His cheery "howdy do" and his genial disposition endear him to every man, woman, boy and girl in the state. From a few struggling members of a few years ago, the lodges have been augmented until now they are the strongest organizations in the state. Every Pythian has a kind word for the Grand Chancellor. Dr. Crawford is desirous of an increased membership and initiated the idea of a whirlwind booster campaign. He expects every Pythian to do his full duty by reclaiming the lost ones and adding new members to the fold. The initiation fee during this campaign will be very low. All Knights are expected to put forth their best efforts in order that the membership may be increased. The Court of Calanthe, under the wise and beneficent guidance of Dr. R. F. Boyd, is expected to keep step, marshal their forces, go out and get good women and true into the Courts of Tennessee. The Court of Calanthe, under the organization in Tennessee of its kind. It has enrolled the beauty and culture of the state. These ladies we are sure will see to it that an increased enrollment is had. Joining a fraternal organization is a business proposition and it would redound to the benefit of all to investigate before they send in their petition to any organization. The Globe calls its readers' special attention to the display advertisement of the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe in this issue, and begs to assure them that we endorse all said.

The funeral services held over the remains of Mr. Edward Kennedy, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kennedy, which took place at the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, Saturday at one o'clock, were solemn and impressive. The stoutest hearts gave way, and there was hardly a dry eye in the audience. The church was filled with sorrowing friends and relatives. Rev. Dr. Ellington, who had been confined to a sick bed, got up and came to conduct the services. His announcement to this effect was made from the rostrum. The 90th Psalm was read by Rev. Henry A. Boyd. Prayer was offered by Dr. T. J. Townsend. Mr. Boyd then read the obituary. Appropriate remarks concerning the church life and business career of the deceased were made by Rev.

BRANSFORD 162 Fourth Avenue, N. CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN ON. The Red Cross Christmas Seal campaign is on. Everywhere throughout the United States these little messengers of health are being sold. There never was a time in the history of the country when so many people cooperated in one particular campaign as in this fight against tuberculosis. Since it has been learned that tuberculosis is not inherited but infectious we know it is preventable and the great cry now is "if preventable why not prevent?" Red Cross Christmas Seals do more to create sentiment in favor of the warfare against tuberculosis than any other one campaign. First, and most obvious and most important, the Christmas Seal is a means of raising money for the campaign against tuberculosis. Second, the Christmas Seal is a means for awakening interest so great that numbers of all kinds of people are led to talk and read tuberculosis. Third, the Christmas Seal provides an opportunity for anyone and everyone, almost without limitation of circumstance or conditions, to render several helps in the fight against tuberculosis. Fourth, the Christmas Seal creates the possibility of spreading an enormous account of actual information in such a manner as to largely increase the general knowledge about tuberculosis. Fifth, The Christmas Seal, through the extensive campaign of a few weeks enlists large numbers of individuals and groups and give something of time, thought and effort for the common good in the warfare against tuberculosis. Sixth, the Christmas Seal therefore yives to increasing numbers of people a sense of a great common interest, an opportunity for aiding financially and the chance of actively helping a warfare movement which is of interest to the entire community, the whole state and the nation as well. Tennessee this year conducts the first state campaign with the Red Cross Christmas Seals. This movement is backed by the most prominent people in the stae.

All the money received from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals in Tennessee goes into a fund that will finance a permanent work. Every town in the state should respond to the appeal that has been sent out from the state committee to make a large per capita sale of the Christmas Seals in their community.

Our musical department scored a tremendous success when it gave to the world our first two publications, Celestial Showers No.1 Celestial Showers No.2 DORA'S UNLUCKY STAR. Augusta Gaillard. It must be conceded that Dora was a very unlucky child. Had she not broken her mother's watch, lost her own coral breastpin, dropped a huge cologne filled to the brim with the very choicest violet perfume, deluging the Smyrna rug and overflowing her mother's heart with grief, for it was a Christmas present just received. Had she not fallen from the chicken house into the duck pond below, snagging her fine embroidered muslin dress and inflicting severe injury to her unfortunate person; was it not sporting with disaster to entrust such a one with any mission, who could not perform the most trivial service without mishap? Her mother was a superstitious woman and fervently avowed, "My child was born under an unlucky star," and indeed was not the summary of her many misfortunes conclusive evidence of some evil agency at work at the very beginning of her adventurous career, and for which her mother determined no other remedy was so availing or more potent than the rod. She was uncompromising in her convictions and kept always nearby a stalwart hickory as a visible rimeinder of breakers ahead. She never flinched nor wavered, so she proudly admitted in meting out the proper chastisement. Sometimes in lieu of the regenerating power of the rod she inflicted, from Dora's point of view, a still greater penalty; she compelled her to forfeit some coveted pleasure or outing, to repent in solitude and tears her youthful transgressions. The knowledge that one's special calling is to be unlucky is not cheering, and Dora so often reminded felt greatly scandalized for having made her advent under such unfavorable auspices, but she nevertheless was very daring and reckless, always on the alert for mischief, and as the unsuspecting stars were held responsible for her evil tendencies, she came to regard herself in a vague sort of a way as destined of heaven to spread disaster, with her mother as a nemesis behind her, whose ardor would not relax nor whose judgments relent. Just here I shall tell you that Dora was a little southern Negro girl and lived in the town of N——on the Mississippi river in a neat little cottage, where the air was laden with the perfume of the honeysuckle, sweet ollie and magnolia; where the crepe myrtle, nasturtian, verbena, rose and violet bloomed rampant in the front yard in a most artistic and delightful profusion. Behind the cistern house in a big shady nook stood the friendliest of old fig trees, waving their ample boughs in the most southern hospitality style, as if inviting one to partake of their generous shade and toothsome sweets. To show you how subtle and insidious were the devices of Dora's star, I shall tell you of a time when the evil was in its ascendency and all the bad luck came streaming upon her. One night her aunt, who lived in a little town in Louisiana, up the Mississippi river, came down on the boat to visit her sister. She was a staunch ally of her niece and comrade, and had saved her in many a dilemma. Dora was asleep when her aunt arrived, but the latter had brought a lusty little pig with her and he, in accordance to the tradition, proceeded to squeal. This aroused and startled Dora, who at the same time recognized her aunt's voice, and bounded out of bed, wild with rapture and saluted her with many embraces and noisy queries. "Is the pig for me? Are you going to our picnic day after to-morrow? How many pigs have you? Will he eat up the little chickens? Will Trailer get him? Have you brought me anything else?" "Hush and go to bed, your aunty will be there in the morning and the pig is for the barbecue. Go on to bed so you can help me get breakfast," shouted her mother from an adjoining room, which she was putting in order for her sister. Going on the porch, she took the lamenting pig, sack and all, and emptied him into the coal bin. Returning to the house, she repeated her command to Dora, who violently protested and begged to be allowed to go and see the piggy. "Mind your mamma, honey," said aunty, who wished for an opportunity to gossip a little before retiring. Dora reluctantly obeyed, but in her rapturous mood, it was long before she slept. The next morning she arose very early and hastily dressing, quickly sped to the coal bin; she slipped on a plank of the box cover and poked her head down to view the unoffending prisoner, but he, with a grunt of satisfaction, leaped over her hand and with haste passed her, instinctively turning to the front gate. "Oh, you come back here, piggy," shrieked Dora, but all to no avail, and she followed in hot pursuit into the street in vain seeking to overtake the culprit. On, on, ran the pig, and for a mile Dora followed; when finally she saw him dart under a birdge and with such haste that she could hardly keep him in view, he scampered into a ravine be NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1911. Immediately after this the denomination received a greater surprise when it was announced that the National Baptist Hymnal was ready for the market. This hymnal, when used in connection with the National Baptist Hymn Book, has no equal for choirs and religious services. For the benefit of our readers we give a list of books and the prices we are offering to the public. No samples of books are sent out unless a sufficient amount of postage accompanies the request, the smallest amount of postage accepted for a sample copy is 25c.

And now came Dora undismayed; she followed piggy, and seeing she could not catch him by a chase, she, like a good little general, tried to steal upon him unaware and with a sudden dash possess him, but the pig must have understood her mind, for when seemingly brought to bay and Dora would reach forth to catch him, with a dexterous turn he eluded her efforts and left her still pursuing with a very heavy heart. Indeed it seemed to her that the wicked little pig perceived her anguish and placed himself in easy reach only to torment her more keenly in her failure to grasp him. "Oh, you little wretch! you must have a demon in you that Vicka says is on Miss Bowey's bonnet," screamed Dora.

"Igh, ugh," and he poked his little nose in among the dry leaves. "Now I'll get you even if I am unlucky!" and Dora pounced with outstretched arms, only to be tantalized by a phantom piggy in her captive arms. "Ugh, ugh," snuffed the delighted ex-prisoner, as in vain Dora pursued the mrage still deeper in the ravine. "Oh, what'll become of me," she walked as she finally lost trace of him and was too tired to run farther. "Mamma'll whip me I know and I can't run any more. Oh, I wish I had never been born under that awful star. I don't know why I wasn't born like other folks and mamma. There isn't any bad star over them and Nan, Nan, I know," mused Dora, as she disconsolately turned her steps homeward and went in with half reluctant tread, fear of her mother's wrath and hunger raging in conflict within.

"I sure hope I'll never be lynched," she exclaimed as her mother and aunt discussed the lynching of two men, whereupon her aunt laughed heartily and her mother declared she was crazy and bad her keep her mouth shut when grown folks were talking and wound up by saying, "twould be no surprising thing if something equally as had didn't overtake her."

The International Committee of Young Men's Christian Associations is conducting a series of nine Bible Study Institute among the students of the leading colored schools of the south. More than three thousand young men of the schools of the District of Columbia, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi have enrolled for voluntary daily Bible study, and the work of the Y. M. C. A toward the development of Christian character, and the rendering of Christian service by young men, has already received a strong impetus through this new movement. The sixth Bible Study Institute of the series is being held through Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 15th, 16th and 17th, at the Meharry Auditorium in this city. Delegates are in attendance from the principal schools in Tennessee and Kentucky. Already International secretaries, W. A. Hunton, of Washington, D. C., and C. H. Tobias, of Augusta, Ga., are in the city, completing arrangements for this important conference. Other leaders of the Y. M. C. A. and some of the principal speakers of the Men and Religion Forward Movement are on program. These meetings are primarily for the young men, and will in no wise conflict with the meetings of the Men and Religion Forward Movement; the former are being conducted in this city as a special feature of the latter. Meharry Y. M. C. A. was addressed on Sunday afternoon, the 10th inst., by Rev. H. H. O'Neal, D. D., Dean of the Theological Department of Walden University. The doctor is well-known for his very eloquent style and forceful manner, and on this occasion spoke on "The Workman of Nazareth." He delivered a most brilliant and instructive address. The Alpha Society, composed of young ladies of Walden University, held public exercises at Thompson Chapel on Saturday evening, the 9th inst., and rendered a program which was, to say the least, uniquely grand. At 7:30 p. m. the young ladies, in single file, marched into the chapel and took their seats and soon after this a couple of beautiful pieces were rendered by the choir and a prayer was offered by Dean Moffet. The special program was now entered on. This consisted of vocal, solos, piano solos, recitations, etc., which were all performed in brilliant style. The function was largely attended by the students of the several departments. The annual election of officers of the Meharry Athletic Association took place at the Meharry Auditorium on Monday evening, the 4th inst., at 7:30 p. m. Competition was keen among the students, as they were divided into several factions, and each faction worked assiduously for the purpose of getting its men into office. There were 294 members present on the occasion. The meeting was called to order by the president, and after the usual preliminaries incidental to such occasions, the votes were cast with the following results: president, S. H. Brown, Junior Medical Class; vice president, C. R. Price, Junior Dental Class; manager, J. L. Leach, Sophmore Medical Class; assistant manager, A. P. Lantos, Sophmore Medical Class; secretary, C. R. Robinson, Freshman Pharmaceutical; assistant secretary, A. T. Radford, Sophmore Medical; Board of Directors: J. S. Aegle, Junior Dental Class; L. O. Johnson, Junior Pharmaceutical Class; custodian, C. C. Floyd, Freshman Pharmaceutical. A RALLY OF MISSIONARY AND SUNDAY-SCHOOL FORCES AT MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. A most interesting and profitable missionary and Sunday-school meeting will be held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Tuesday night, December 19, under the auspices of the Home Mission and Publishing Boards of the National Baptist Convention. This meeting is primarily for the purpose of informing the workers generally of the conditions throughout the country, of showing what has been accomplished by Negro Baptists, North, South, East and West, during the year of 1911, and of inspiring our people generally, young and old, to the accomplishment of greater things in our churches along the lines indicated above for 1912. Dr. Wm. Beckham, Field Secretary, will tell of the missionary activities, and Dr. N. H. Pius, Superintendent Teacher-Training, will give valuable information relative to conditions and progress among our Sundayschools. Both of these speakers have traveled extensively during the year, organizing and observing, and are full of zeal and information. All who are interested in the spiritual development of the people everywhere, at home and abroad, cannot afford to miss this meeting.

One of the most brilliant and enjoyable events of the season was the Thanksgiving dinner and ball given at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mayberry, of Hillsboro. The Mayberry home was made very attractive for the occasion with decorations of cut flowers and autumn foliage plants gracefully arranged throughout the reception hall and parlors.

The center ornament being a cut glass bowl filled with pyramids of grapes, oranges, bananas, apples and other delicacies of the season. Adding to the beauty of the entire decoration scheme was the ribbon effect extending from the chandelier to the four corners of the dinner table. Punch was dispensed by Miss Bessie Mayberry and Birtie Campbell. The register of guests was presided over by Mrs. L. D. Bumbrey.

It is the great monthly newspaper on which intelligent people everywhere rely for their news, and you get this news almost as promptly as it is given in the great daily newspapers of the country.

Hill, one of the city school teachers of San Antonio, and Mrs. Chas. Bell, who is residing in the capital of Mexico. She came here to be with Mrs. Bell, who is the youngest daughter. Miss Hill was summoned to the bedside of her mother as soon as it was discovered that her condition was serious. When the end came, the two daughters and son-in-law, with the grandchildren, which constituted the entire family except some relatives who are out in California and Colorado, were at the bedside. DOLL BAZAAR A BIG SUCCESS. Denver, Colo.—The biggest success ever scored in this city by any church or religious organization in a doll bazaar was that of the Zion Baptist Church, which has just closed what the citizens term a Negro Doll Bazaar. The toys used were purchased from the National Negro Doll Company, of Nashville, Tenn. Rev. Dr. David E. Overs and Madam — purchased two of the dolls that were on exhibition at the National Baptist Convention in Pittsburg. They brought them to Denver to be used in raising some funds for the church. One of these dolls measured 26 inches in height, the other 36 inches. The first one was a $5.25 doll and the other one an $8.50 doll. The novelty of the toy assisted in helping to create interest, as but a few of them had been seen in the far West. After the result of the entertainment was counted up, it was found and announced by Dr. Overs that a net receipt of over $22.00 had been realized from these two Negro dolls, and that the city had about agreed with the National Negro Doll slogan, "Negro Dolls for Negro Children." NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1911. DIES IN MEXICO CITY. A TALK WITH POULTRY RAISERS. Poultry in California. The illustration in this issue shows the home and family of William Jacobs, at Haywards, Cal. In a letter to Farm Journal, Mr. Jacob says: "The conditions of the poultry industry in California differ much from that of the East, as the land is much dearer here, and consequently poultry farms are small—three, five or ten acres each. Nearly all the feed must be purchased, and prices are very high. During November and December eggs sometimes retail at sixty and seventy cents a dozen. Some years ago we had to pay as high as $2.25 per 100 pounds for wheat, which resulted in many poultry people going out of business. My neighbor and myself organized an association for the purpose of bettering the poultry situation; I was chosen president, and my neighbor became secretary. Today we have in membership nearly every owner of a poultry ranch in this section. We have our own warehouse, buy the feed in carloads, and market our eggs and poultry direct to the retail trade, for which we secure the best prices. In this way we cannot only get better prices, and ourselves pocket the commission of middlemen, but we also make a discount of about fifteen per cent. on the cost of our feed. I keep about 1,000 White Leghorns. The price of land here is from $300 to $2,000 per acre. Do not neglect the laying hens' exercise. Have the floors of the houses well bedded with some light litter, so that the biddies will be induced to scratch, and thus warm up their bodies these cold, frosty mornings. An extra allowance of grain scattered in this litter at night will start the folows exercising early the next morning before breakfast, as more or less grain will remain over. As the weather grows colder, the amount of corn-meal, animal food and other heat-producing foods should be increased. Noon is a good time to supply the stock with some green stuff, such as cabbages or roots of any kind. The latter can be cut in half, and the hens will then pick them to pieces. Up until about the sixteenth of this month there will be considerable demand for killing stock; but after that no poultry should be sent to market until about the eighth of January. The reason for this is that shipments are so heavy the week before Christmas, continuing until New Year's, that there is very likely to be a glut in the market. Of course this does not refer to private custom trade. The wise poultryman always aims to market his products in such a manner that he may not be caught in the glut, which would mean a big discount in price. A good price can now be obtained for roasters weighing five or six pounds each. Capons had best be held until after the holidays. At the end of the month close up the account for the year, and see whether it totals to your credit. Fannie Wood's Poultry Talk. To know the chicken louse is to love it, and the more we know it the more we wish to help the hens to get rid of it by keeping the dust box well filled. The dust bath helps them, also, in scouring off the scurf and scales from the skin. A good place for the dust box is in the scratching shed. It is not good for hens to dust in coal or wood ashes only, some folks claim, but we find that a few ashes lighten up the dirt. Drafts in the chickens' home are more dangerous when the fowls are quiet on the roost than when they are stirring around during the day; but a cold air current sweeping through the house is a bad thing at any time. Fresh air will do no harm when it comes in at openings on the south front, with sides, back and roof tight. And make the floor as tight as you can. The openings on the south side of our chicken house are covered with coarse unbleached muslin. This keeps out snow and rain. And plenty of air and sunshine come through the muslin. How we do love the big quiet capons. After they have gone to roost I like to pat their broad backs and talk to them. They can no longer hunt a good part of their living as they did a few weeks ago, but we never let them go to roost hungry. Sparing the feed is a good way to spoil capons. The more feed they eat now, the bigger they will be when selling time comes. And the larger they are, the more money they will bring. It seems to us that Brahmas are the easiest breed of chickens to educate to roost in a house after they have once formed the habit of roosting on fences and in trees. Drive them in the house a few nights and we have no more trouble getting them to roost where, they belong. The flying, determined little Leghorns require the whole family every night, for at least two weeks, to get them so they will roost in a house. It does no good to catch and carry them where one wants them to stay. They can be shut up for two weeks, PRESTON TAYLOR 449 Fourth Ave., N. right back to their old roosting places. They will learn quicker when they are driven every night in the house where one wants them to stay, but it takes time and patience, and one person can't get them in without help. If you believe in warm houses, believe just as firmly in plenty of ventilation. The two do not conflict. The best hen house is the one which is warm and yet provided with fresh air. Observations. At this time of year one naturally turns his attention, more or less, to the Bird of Feasts—the turkey. Early last October the poultry editor made a trip through the turkey-growing section of Rhode Island and Connecticut, and what he did not see in the shape of turkey was hardly worth seeing. Horace Vose, of Westerly, R. I., the man made famous since the time of Grant by his annual gifts of a turkey to the President of the United States for his Thanksgiving dinner, acted as pilot. There are not so many turkeys raised in that section as there are in parts of Texas and other places; but for size, brilliancy of color and other characteristics, the writer never saw any better Bronze, Narra-gansett. Black nor wild specimens. In Rhode Island and Connecticut the turkeys roam over hills and meadows, feasting on insects and berries and chestnuts. They are in their element and grow to wonderful size. They travel in flocks; sometimes as many as a hundred are seen in a bunch, and not a sick one in the lot. But, notwithstanding the fact that in their range they find considerable food, they are regularly fed each day, and come home at night to roost on perches constructed in the barn lot. As the cold winds come in the fall, it is noticed that the flocks do not take so wide a range as they did in milder weather, but, instead, congregate in the corn-fields and along the stone fences in the pastures, where they can get the benefit of the warm sun, and at the same time be shielded from the raw winds. The story of the poultry editor's trip is quite a long one, and in the near future it will be given in another form due announcement of which will be published. Turkeys need range. They require it from start to finish. They want to be constantly on the move, and prefer to spend their nights outdoors. They are naturally of a rugged nature; it is man that has made them delicate. They can not stand pampering, and when confined to runs and compelled to house at night, they soon lose their vim and readily become prey to disease. THE ORCHARD. Clean out the orchard before the snow gets deep, so that there will be no nesting places for mice. An acceptable Christmas present: A basket or barrel of apples to some poor neighbor or friend. If you see a little mound of red dust at the foot of your young apple tree, don't pass it by lightly. That pile is the borings left by a worm that will surely kill the tree if you do not dig him out, now.—E. L. V. When a snow comes, be sure to tramp it down firmly all around each young tree in the orchard; otherwise, field mice may nest and work under the snow and ruin your trees by eating the bark. Another good remedy is to wrap each tree trunk with heavy building paper, laths, or strips of wood veneer. The latter can be had of dealers in box and basket material, and cost about $5 per 1,000. Seven counties in Eastern Washington have under cultivation 6,330,389 apple, 1,251,735 peach, 743,963 pear, 207,018 cherry, 182,931] prune and plum and 94,873 apricot trees, according to reports compiled by F. A. Huntley, State Commissioner of Horticulture. Walla Walla, Stevens and Benton counties, in which the count is not yet completed, it is estimated, will bring the number of apple trees to fully 10,000,000, a full crop from which would mean about 70,000,000 boxes, or more than the total apple production in the United States in 1910. There is food for thought in these enormous figures. Some day there may be a glut in the apple market that will surprise some folks. 7 TEL.

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 silverware, baptismal garments, church furniture, instruments and church supplies we have succeeded in getting, for the benefit of all Sunday-schools, churches and individuals, who will place an order between December 1 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 bookcase costing $15.00 and should send $7.50 of that amount in a postoffice money order, we would add $1.50 to the order, leaving the party to send in the next remittance only $6.00. 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 postoffice money order for $75.00, we would guarantee the shipment of the organ and see that they are receipted for the $100.00, we becoming personally responsible for the remaining $2.500. In arranging this, we do so with a view to making it possible for every one of the thousands of Sunday-schools 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 loyally supported every department of our work. The National Baptist Church Supply Company is directly responsible for our being able to make such a sweeping wholesale 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, pianos, 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 1 and close January 1, 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.

A local correspondent asks what has become of the Cog City Business League which was launched at Simpson M. E. Church, some months ago, with such bright prospects. The Advocate, too, would like to know what has become of this organization. Has it gone by the way of all the other previous attempts to organize the forceful factors of the race for mutual helpfulness? It begins to look as if it had. That leads the query, "what's the matter with Charleston?" With by far the largest Negro population of any city in the state, the greatest number of children attending school, the strongest church numerically two NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1911. race papers, and many other agencies which should make for united effort. Charleston is far behind some of the sister cities. She is sadly lacking in constructive unity. Here a business enterprise conducted by a Negro, even a saloon, is "up against the real thing." If, as soon as it begins to display a healthful growth, it does not create envious competition, it is extremely lucky. The rule is to establish a similar business if the pioneer attempt show signs of success. It matter not whether there is sufficient room for the two, whether sufficient patronage can be secured by the two to make both a paying business. Start the opposition and take chances on both failing. Nashville, Tenn. on Offer As failure is the fate of most business attempts in this city. If they do not fail because the patronage which would barely support one has been divided between two, they are compelled to close because their patrons transfer their accounts elsewhere. In Charleston there is one of the best appointed and stocked Negro drug stores in the state. If it received one-half of the consideration from the public that its worth demands, it could double the number of its employees, who, it might be said in passing, have had no additions since the opening day. Adjoining this drug store is a grocery, and that, too, is well stocked, clean, and offers the most polite attention. Yet, it, like the drug store, has to depend largely upon the white trade for maintenance. Still there are those among us eternally complaining because there are no openings, outside of domestic service for the graduates of our schools. Their plaint would be really laughable if the situation were not so to be pitied. Opening indeed! How can there be openings for Negro boys and Negro girls if they are not created by the race, if the man or men who risk their money in business enterprises are not supp rted by the race. The white merchants are certainly not going to employ Negro clerks, their limit is the porter. The way to make these openings is plain, the trouble is to get most of us to see it. Here is where the public school teachers and the preachers might increase their usefulness. More frequent talks from them to their scholars and congregations on race building by co-operation would work wonders in this community. If they and other forces for uplift would display less selfishness, unite and give their support to every elevating movement, they could command more assistance in their undertakings. The matter with Charleston is that the spirit of "every man for himself, the Good Lord for us all and the 'devil take the hindmost" prevails. Under such conditions no business league nor any other organization for united effort, excepting a lodge can live.—The Advocate, Charleston, W. Va. CORPSE THAWS QUICKLY IN HENRICO. With Bottle in Hand, Corpse Sits Up to Receive Official Call from the Coroner. To Rosa Henly, a heretofore obscure resident of Chelsea Hill, Henrico County, must go the palm for being one of those rare mortals who die and then come back to life. Rosa, who seems destined to rank with other celebrities of the colored race, pulled off her little resurrection act last Tuesday morning under the porch of her own house, at 120 Cedar street, assisted by a cloud of witnesses and a warm fire. Her stunt was a great success, except when viewed from the standpoint of the Henrico County authorities, particularly from Coroner J. Fulmer Bright's viewpoint. Finding of Body. Rosa was inclined to be modest about her achievement, while her friends and relatives are considering the advisability of having a commission of lunacy to sit. Meanwhile, Deputy Sheriff Garnett is enjoying a laugh at others' expense, as his part was played from his seat by the telephone. James Robertson, a colored workman, passed Rosa's house yesterday morning in the cold gray dawn of a real December day, and saw what looked like a foot protruding from under the front porch. Further investigation discovered that it really was a foot belonging to an apparently lifeless person, and Robertson yelled for help. The crowd that quickly gathered didn't press the investigation much beyond mere speculation. Finally some one thought of telephoning the county authorities. "Miss Garnett," yelled a voice over the telephone a few minutes later, "yo' better come up and git dis here dead woman under the porch." But Mr. Garnett did better; he called Dr. Bright. Condition of Corpse. When the coroner arrived on Cedar street he found the scene shifted to the interior of Rosa's house, which the corpse sitting half-frozen before the fire, empty pint bottle in one hand. "Look here, woman," said the Coroner, "what were you doing under that porch?" "Nuffin'." "What've you got in your mouth?" "Two bits," the corpse answered, pulling a quarter of a dollar from between her teeth. What's that got to do with your crawling under the porch and dying?" Dr. Bright next wanted to know. Then Rosa proceeded to explain that a woman had parted with the precious "two bits" on condition that Rosa awaken her early yesterday morning, and according to Rosa's idea, the best way that could be done was to wiggle up under her porch and pretend to die. Her friends told Mr. Garnett they would observe her closely for a few days before asking for an examination into her sanity.—Times-Dispatch, December 6, 1911. At Walden University, Friday evening, December 8th, benefit of Do- Prof. J. E. McGirt, of Philadelphia, Pa., delighted an enthusiastic audience in his poetic and dramatic recital which was delivered to a packed house. Prof. McGirt was assisted by the Young Ladies Glee Club, which captivated the audience and Mr. McClain, whose voice is always pleasing. First and second prizes were offered to the young ladies selling the largest number of tickets. The first prize was won by Miss Bolton, who sold more than one hundred tickets, and the second by Miss Martin, who sold the next largest number. The Domestic Science Department at Walden can boast of having the largest class of any school in the city. The young ladies of this department are to be congratulated upon the success of this entertainment, which was largely due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. F. E.

Going in the house, she displayed with intense pride her mother's fine store of preserves and in her excitement knocked over a cherished glass of jelly which her mother had awarded her for a tiresome vigil over the preserving kettle to skim and keep the fruit from burning. "Land sakes be careful, honey," frequently enjoined "Nan Nan," and Dora managed to glide through the rest of the day without another mishap. In the evening her mother and aunt went to town to supply the deficiency in the picnic basket, and called a playmate and neighbor of Dora's to keep company till her mother's return. Vic and Dora sat in the front gate step, though her mother bade her go in the house and behave nicely, "but I reckon nothing will hurt us here; do you Vickey?" asked Dora as she watched her mother's retreating figure. "What are you all going to carry in your basket, Vickey?" "Lord I don't know. Mamma's cooking hers now; cakes and chickens and salad, 1 reckon." "Have you a pretty white cake? Our sure is pretty; and, Vickey, I have twenty cents and I'll carry you on the merry go round." "Dora, where's Miss Fitzgerald? her house is shut up; do you think she's peeping through the window blinds?" "No indeed; she's in the country; and Lord I'm sure glad she's there, for she'd be over here right now talking about that pig I let out; the pig that 'Nan Nan' brought mamma to barbecue." "Well, I thought I'd laugh myself to death the other day; mamma sent me to take her some desert we had for dinner, and I tipped softly in the gate. She was sitting behind the lattice and didn't see me and I stamped-heavily on the plank walk and made a deal of noise; she jumped and hollered, 'mercy me!' pretending she was afraid as you know she says try some of her apple roll." "Tell your mother many thanks," and she bowed low, as though I were a grown up lady. Yes, then Aunt Mary holered, 'Miss Fichgiles, Miss Fichgiles!' lend me your tub,'! Miss Fitzgerald went to the fence and sald, 'Step here one minute, Aunt Mary; now will you please watch my mouth. My name is F-i-t-z, Fitz, g-o-r-a-l-d, gerald, Fitzgerald. Please now don't ever call me Fichgiles. Now, Aunt Mary, will you remember? and you're perfectly welcome to the tub.' And Aunt Mary came over and got it and I assisted her home with it.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 15. 1911. 'Oh, she puts on a powerful lot of airs because her white folks call her mammy and take care of her' And I said, 'Yes'm, and I was so tickled I almost laughed out while she was talking.' Lord, Dora, tell me about that time you went to carry her that note your mamma wrote." "Oh, Vick, why do you want me to tell that, for I feel peculiar when I think of it. You know I was born unlucky, that's why I'm always doing something like that. You know mamma wrote her a note and sent it by me before she moved here; mamma gave me a dime to buy a nickel's worth of salt and a bar of soap, and mamma said, 'Dora, don't you forget to say, 'Good morning, Miss Fitzgerald, how are you feeling this morning?' And I said, 'yes'm,' and when I started so as to not forget, I said, 'nickle's worth of salt and a bar of soap; good morning, Miss Fitz.' I cut her name off till I got there, but I kept on saying it, and when I got to her house I ran up the steps saying, 'nickle's worth of salt and a bar of Town Talk scap,' and I looked up and saw her standing in the door; before I thought I said, 'Good morning, Miss Fitz!' and said, 'No, I mean, good morning, Miss Fitzgerald. Here's a note mama sent you.' she took the note and looked at me curiously and said, 'Dora, take a seat and mind you don't twist about, and I'll go and reply to this message from your mother.' But I knew she was going to the back fence and call Miss Rena and get her tread it and write mamma another. And you bet I sat right where I was, though I wanted to go to the 'what not' and see all those little fancy dishes she had but I was 'afraid.' "Lord, Dora, I believe that man's drunk coming up the street; let's get up." And the two startled children hastily jumped up, shut the gate and shrank to the porch, while a man half tipsy came with unsteady gait along the pavement, followed by a boy jeering and hooting more openly as he approached his home in the next yard to Dora's home. "Oh, Vicky, that's Richard and that man is is Mr. Stanton's old dago gardener, because I go up there to buy vegetables," whispered Dora. Just as Richard circled around the angry man, shouted as he darted in his gate, "Say, Mister, where do you get your toddy?" The man followed him and began to swear and curse in a frightful way, and Richard's meek and gentle mother besought him in vain to leave. Dora, who returned to the gate, listening to the infuriated man and bursting with indignation ran to the scene of conflict shouting, "Mr. Henderson, Mr. Henderson! why don't you arrest that man? do you allow him to curse Miss Sara that way?" Mr. Henderson, the colored constable and the brother-in-law of Richard's mother, stood by a silent witness in the rear and showed no anxiety to become implicated in the row. Dora, not content with her protest, picked up a huge rock and hurled it at the drunken man, and he being struck turned in time to discover his assailant and she quickly fled from the gate; and unmindful of his first grievance he followed with all the energy he could command to wreak vengeance upon this new foe. Dora frightened at the consequence of her act, fled panic-stricken into her mother's arm, who had just returned from town and hearing the noise stopped at the gate in time to meet the hapless girl and her pursuer. Pushing her into the gate and into the house the horrified mother and aunt sank into wretched heaps in the two ample rockers. "Lord, Anna, where did I get such a child from, do you reckon? She'll be the ruination of us all yet, and you know we've always been a respectable family that has always stood well; but my child is disgracing me and she's so little; what on earth will become of her when she's grown up?" "Go along to bed and stay there tomorrow when all the other little girls are at the picnic having a good time, you can eat bread and molasses and be sorry you tried to attend to other folk's business, and have some one setting fire to us by your trying ways some of these days. Go along now to bed. I reckon I'll come and whip you anyhow before I go to bed." And Dora, mute with despair and miserable over the morning prospect, went silently to her cot and bemeaned in a torrent of tears her unhappy fate and unlucky star. TEACHERS WHO ATTEND STATE NORMALS FAVORED. Superintendent Brister Issues Address to County Boards of Education to County Boards of Education. By agreement of the Presidents of the State Normal Schools and Prof. J. W. Brister, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, teachers of Tennessee who attend the State Normals will be favored in their applications for schools in the various counties. Looking to this end, Prof. Brister addressed the following letters Wednesday to the members of the County Board of Education in each county of the State: "To Members of County Boards of Education: I want to take this means of directing your attention to our State Normal Schools and to the opportunity which will be presented to the wideawake Boards of Education in the counties of the State of securing a better grade of teachers than many now available. The Normal Schools, of course, cannot supply all the teachers needed, but they will turn out year after year scores of well-trained men and women who temporarily, at least, must teach in the schools of Tennessee, and who can be retained for long periods if we can offer compensation equal to that which is given in other states. "You can help the Normal Schools in their work by urging your teachers to attend its sessions as far as possible, and by giving notice that, in filling new positions, preference will be accorded to students and graduates of the Normal Schools. I need not take time to argue the need of trained teachers for our schools. Every man who has given school matters sufficient thought to warrant his being a member of a board of education realizes that the teacher is the most important factor in any school. And further, that men and women who have had professional preparation, special training for the work, are much more apt to give efficient instruction and render valuable service than those who have not had such advantages. "May I ask you then to favor applicants for school positions who have been in attendance on our Normal School? May I ask you to go further and seek Normal School Presidents and asking their aid in filling positions? And will you not use your influence in your county to have offered such salaries and inducements to teachers as will attract the best trained men and women and hold them in the profession? You can be most helpful to us in developing our Normal Schools by adopting such a policy, and you will at the same time render a most valuable and acceptable service to your county.

The alumni and friends of Meigs-Preal High School, who compose a great part of the Negro citizenship of Nashville, and who are performing their duties with credit to their alma mater, now witness this important era. At the last alumni association of the above school (June, 1911), it was agreed upon by the members to rais the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) to be deposited i a local bank, that the annual interest thereof might be used to purchase a gold medal for the pupil maintaining the highest average through the three years of High School work. We realize that this plan will be a successful one for inspiring the youthful Negro to higher scholarship, nobler ideals and undying ambition. We see the Caucasian crowning his sons and daughters each year with laurels and bidding them Godspeed. Let us do the same. We can do it. Now rally with full interest and raise the $259 which is very small in comparison with the Alumni and friends of Pearl High School. We desire to raise this money at once, trusting you will aid us by sending your donation to M. S. Richardson, 1017 Sixteenth avenue, North, or phone M. 3538 and an authorized collector of donations will call at your residence. A receipt will be given for each donation and your name and amount published in the Nashville Globe. Prof. F. A. Randals, 1534 Fourteenth avenue, North; Mr. Overton Carter, 1401 Thirteenth avenue, South; Dr. Herbert Voorhies, Grant street, and Mr. Eugene Taylor, 114 Lewis street, are collectors for medal fund.

Chicago, Dec. 13.—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, weighs nearly 300 pounds and will never again enter the ring in a contest to retain his title, according to information received at his home. Johnson is on the ocean on his way back to Chicago with his wife, who is seriously ill. They sailed from Liverpool Monday, and before starting let it be known to his friends in Chicago that he had finished with the ring game. Johnson's friends in Chicago had discussed rumors of the champion's retirement for several days past, but when the confirmation came they were at a loss to understand his action. Johnson has given it out that he will engage in business when he reaches home. RECITAL SUNDAY.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1911. Fisk-Meharry Game. The annual Thanksgiving football game between Meharry and Fisk is receiving favorable comment on all sides. The game was a grand affair from every point of view. Both teams were well coached, and especially was this noticeable in their deportment. If any roughness was indulged in by the members of either team no one could see it so far as we have been able to learn; while on the other hand, it was noticeable on many occasions when the tackler of this or that team would down his man of the opposition, if his fall was unusually hard, there would be a reconciliation in a sportsmanlike manner. The fellow who did the tackling would be seen to slap the other fellow on the back expressing to him that it was all a friendly attack after all, and it made every fellow understand that while each side was working for dear life to gain victory, it was evident that they had resolved to put a premium on their sportsmanship. The people are elated over the spirit exhibited. It speaks volumes for the young men of both institutions, and also for the coaches who trained them for the contest. Special mention is also due the officials who conducted the game. It must be conceded that Prof. H. A. Cameron is the peer of any referee in the South. He, with Prof. George Washington, Prof. M. K. Johnson, of Atlanta Baptist College, Mr. Ira Davis and the other gentlemen associated with them, make a team of officials that cannot be excelled. As much depends upon the way a game is conducted as upon the way it is played, and these gentlemen, every one of them, demonstrated beyond a doubt that they know how to conduct a football game. All of these things are receiving the praise of the people of Nashville and the visitors who came to see this great contest. Much was said about the game before it was played. The Globe was criticised for utterances made concerning the matter, but we were working for the people, as we are their servants. We knew the game was desired by those who support it, and while we knew this to be true, we have never considered it our province to dictate to any one how they shall conduct their own business. So the charge by some that the Globe was criticising President Gates, of Fisk University, or any one else for deciding not to have a football game on Thanksgiving day is erroneous. We have never attempted to do that, nor have we even inferred that the president, or the prudential committee, or the members of the faculty haven't the right to say when the Fisk eleven should play their games. It is their right to do this, and if the game had not been played the Globe would never have uttered a word of criticism against the officials for their decision. We wish to be plainly understood on this point. The greatest thing demonstrated by NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 15. 1911. the teams from Fisk and Meharry on Thanksgiving, and the one that should bring hope and consolation to Negroes everywhere, is that these young men showed that they have decided to conduct their annual contest among themselves, and to do so without friction or malice. We have always held that if the students in our advanced institutions of learning cannot play together, what hope is there that the men of the race will ever be able to agree on any proposition after they leave school? Athletics in school mean more than a mere winning of contests. It is a contest of the young men's manhood. But the game is over now, neither team is disgraced, and the people are still rejoicing over the manliness with which it was conducted. Street Car Manners. There are some people who never stop to consider the rights of others. An incident happened recently that illustrates this fact very clearly. A colored lady boarded a street car and walked briskly through the isle and attempted to sit down beside a white girl. The girl moved to the end of the seat and the colored lady tried to push her in. A colored man seeing the spectacle they both were making of themselves, gave his seat to the colored lady and did what he thought would put an end to the controversy. But this colored lady was given a seat by another colored lady and they began to recite a dialogue, of which the following is a fair sample: "If I'd er had time I'd er pushed her in the jaw with my fist." "I would just as leave go to the workhouse this morning as not." This lady is a school teacher, too. The other lady joined just as vociferously in the abuse of the girl and all white people. In the meantime the conductor, upon request of a passenger, came in and asked the girl to move to the front, but nothing would atone to this colored school teacher; she had to "cuss" to prove that she belonged to our pile, as she is as bright as any white person. Then men shrugged their shoulders, hoping that the woman would hush, but no, no, she could not. To say the least this was bad manners, even on a street car. There is a law governing street cars, and we all have rights under the law. If we demand our rights we will get them sometimes, and if there is only a probability of our getting some of our rights under the law, how utterly out of the question it is for us to suppose that we will get any of them when we take matters in our own hands. The incident cited above was unfortunate indeed. We have the best street car arrangement that can possibly be had under a "Jim Crow" law. It will be the better part of wisdom for all to either make up their minds to abide by the law and conform to the regulations or stay off the cars. Bad manners will not help matters on the street car any more than they will elsewhere. --- Santa Clans for the Unfortunate. In a few days the annual celebration of the birth of the Christ will be observed. It has been many years since the shepherds in the field of Judea saw that memorable star that was so awe-inspiring. We need not recite here the many incidents that occurred then, for with the millions of Bibles and other books and tracts that are being distributed in every quarter of the globe, the story is pretty generally known; what we wish to impress now is the need of practicing the teaching of the lowly Nazarene. Jesus came to the world as a gift to mankind, the only Son of his father—a great and gracious gift. And while among men He taught that the most glorious life is that life lived for others. It would be a grand thing, if on the 25th morning of December, 1911, the people could greet the sunlight with the assurance that every poor child and every unfortunate man and woman were made to feel that somebody had remembered them. We need not stop to argue whether every man has had an equal opportunity to prepare for himself; or that every father who is able bodied should provide for the comforts of his own family. The one thought that should be uppermost in the minds of the people is that every body ought to be impressed on Christmas morning with the real meaning of the day and the celebration. They should be taught that great lesson of giving, and that the Creator will bless the giver. The children whose parents have not thought to provide for them should be made to know that somebody in the world, after all, does care for them, and desires that they be happy. Nashville would be a ideal city if this spirit could be inculcated into the minds of all the people, and a systematic campaign be inaugurated to see to it that no one should feel neglected on Christmas morning. Educating the Children. We call special attention to an article on another page by that relentless educator, Booker T. Washington. The subject under discussion is "The Education of Our Children." Dr. Washington is always on the alert in the interest of the education and training of the Negro youth. His words are always uttered after matured deliberation, and while we are all agreed that it is imperative that the children be educated, it is necessary that we read the thoughts of other men, and especially those who are devoting their life to this one subject. In Nashville and in Tennessee we have a splendid public school system, but it can be improved, and it is the duty of every citizen to do their full duty along this line. There are many little things that the humblest can do to aid in this tremendous work, and the people should be educated to take advantage of every opportunity to do the least thing that will aid in the education and training of some child. Our School Teachers. Nashville Negroes have a right to boast of their public school system, for it is the equal of any found in the South. The teaching force, as a whole, is above the average, but when it is remembered that there are three universities in this city from which large classes graduate every year, both in the normal and college departments, it can be seen why it is possible for our Board of Education to always keep a competent corps of teachers in the Negro schools. Cities all through the South look to Nashville for competent teachers. They are scattered throughout every state, holding the highest positions, and are giving satisfaction generally. This is the good news we hear from every quarter. But it seems that there is a spirit of indifference on the part of some of the teachers in the public schools of Nashville. We have it from good authority that some of our public school teachers are interested in the work only to the extent of the amount of pay they receive. It is alleged that some of the teachers have been heard to remarks to pupils that they get their pay whether the children learn their lessons or not. The information also comes to us that some are so unconcerned in the work as to forget themselves entirely at times, and to lose their temper with children. It is charged that they speak crabbed to the little tots, and use language unbecoming any one in a school room or even on the streets. We are loath to believe that these charges are true, nevertheless it is too important a matter to go unnoticed. School teaching is a sacred profession, and requires many sacrifices on the part of every one who follows it; it is not an easy work in any sense of the word. The true school teacher earns more than the city or county is able to pay for the services rendered. The average man works ten hours a day, while the true school teacher works at least sixteen hours a day, and sometimes eighteen. There is no end to the work of the real teacher. Being as they are, confronted with the children of every kind and of varied dispositions and having as they do to teach the children of the most painstaking parents along with those of the most careless, they are confronted daily with trying ex- periences. No one will dispute this. So therefore, the position of a teacher's as taxing and as exacting as any vocation man can choose, and being human as they are, the teacher may be expected at times to become threadbare and impatient, and it is necessary that the man or woman who accepts the position to teach school be fit morally, intellectually and physically. It will require all of these qualities for successful work to be done in the schools. The people of Nashville are complaining about the work of some of the teachers, but not in the right way. It is their privilege to make complaint against any teacher if they know that teacher is not doing his or her full duty, but it is unfair for parents to accuse teachers of negligence unless they know it to be absolutely true, and if they know it to be true and neglect to make complaint against the individual the parents are not doing their full duty to their children nor to the community at large. There are in Nashville men and women competent to fill every position in the city schools, and if the force is not what it should be, the fault lies as much with the people and more so than it does with the Board of Education or the principals of the schools. The irrepressible Teddy has said he would not be president of the United States any more, but the more he says he won't, the more it seems he will. Teddy likes a stampede. It reminds him of the days he spent on the plains, and if the nominee of the National Republican Convention in 1912 should turn out to be Theodore Roosevelt, there would not be many people surprised in this country. Persia is trying to draw a scrap between Russia and the United States. Uncle Samuel will not have time to do any fighting abroad next year, he will have his hands full keeping his children straight at home, A Mr. Riddick, of Memphis, is quoted as saying you cannot tell a man's politics in Tennessee by his color. In some cases you cannot tell them after you pay his poll tax. Do your shopping before the rush. When you go carry the Globe with you; the merchants who advertise in this paper will treat you right. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. ONLY THE TRUE AND FAITHFUL NEEDED. Grand Master Griffin has in the last few days made changes in the heads of several divisions, and all for the good of the Order. While we have no apologies to offer for the acts of our executive, we hope the members in those Divisions will overlook personal preferences and in among with the new appointees. In many instances the work of the Grand Fountain has been sadly neglected. While the salaries have been regularly paid many of the Field Workers have spent their time in looking after private enterprises making returns to the Home Office while others have been dilatory in and the work has suffered. Only those who are true and faithful to every trust are needed to represent the interests of our Organization, and if at any time activity in the work, square dealing, prompt remittances are needed it is now. We are now called upon to meet conditions that have never presented themselves to us before, and in order to do so there must be no lagging, but the issue must be faced squarely, if we desire to restore that confidence that many members mourned as dead. What has happened to us had to come. We have found out our mistakes and are profiting thereby. We congratulate the members throughout the Brotherhood for the confidence they have in the administration, particularly in Grand Worthy Master Griffin and promise that no step will be taken unless due consideration is given every phase of the case. We are fully aware that we are to meet opposition, and in order to have our interests properly protected we need none but bold, fearless and earnest representatives who can spare the time and pains to give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. The outlook for the Brotherhood has never been brighter. The people have learned that failures are not confined to any particular people, and R. R. TIME TABLE Louisville & Nashville R. R.

WILLIAM PATTERSON, Agent. 1313 Grundy St., Nashville, Tenn. 1t. ESTILL SPRING NOTES. Mrs. Creasy Pennington, the mother of Mrs. Luna Brown, died Tues day night, December 5th, and was buried Thursday, the 7th. She was one of the oldest settlers of this place and was in the organization of the First Baptist Church (colored) here over 50 years ago. Mrs. Pennington was a woman who believed in the education of her children and the advancement of the Negro race in general. She was highly respected by both old and young, rich and poor, colored and white, for her Christian integrity, unrightness of character and kind disposition. Truly a beloved woman has left us. Her funeral was largely attended, Friends and relatives came from Alabama, Nashville, Winchester, Cowan, Decherd, Tullahoma and other points. The church was taxed to its capacity. A choir composed of singers from Tullahoma, Winchester and Estill rendered sweet music. Mrs. A. M. Townsend, of Nashville, presided at the organ. Mrs. Pennington was very fond of music, and during her last hours in her feeble way she sang strains of "Death is only a dream." Revs. D. A. Townsend, J. B. Marchbanks and Arthur Tyler conducted the funeral in a very impressive manner. Mrs. Pennington made her home with her only daughter, Mrs. Luna Brown. Many of the friends throughout Tennessee who visit the springs and make the Brown Place their home will learn with much regret of the sad demise of Aunt Creacy, as she was affectionately called by all. Both Mrs. Brown and her husband are deserving of much praise for the manner in which they kindly administered to their mother every want. Not a stone was left unturned, nor a wish ungratified. Rev. J. G. Pennington is her only son. He was also at the bedside of his mother during her last days, and was the source of great comfort to her. She was laid to rest in the cemetery at Estill Springs, Tenn., amid sorrowing relatives and friends. A CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the many friends who sympathized with us during our mother's long illness and death for their many deeds of kindness, also for the floral offerings. We pray God's blessings may attend each one of you, and should the grim monster knock at your door and come to claim one of your dear ones, may friends prove as true to you as ours have to us; and may your heavy burdened heart be cheered by the kind deeds of friends sincere and true, for a friend in need is a friend indeed. MR. and MRS. WILL BROWN. REV. and MRS. J. G. PENNINGTON. Estill Springs, Tenn. BATTLESHIP MAINE That the battleship Maine was blown up by an explosion from the outside is now definitely settled by the report of the navy and army experts, made to the President last week. The report says some low form of explosive, such as gunpowder, was fired beneath the ship. The explosion set off the ship's magazines. This report is almost identical with that of the Sampson board, made as soon as we had opportunity to examine the wreck. The Sampson board employed divers to investigate the conditions of the bottom of the ship, before the wreck settled into the mud. The present board built a coffer dam about the wreck, pumping out the water and removing the mud or wading into it. Almost the only difference between the two reports is that the present investigation locates the position of the explosives placed under the ship a little further back. The divers were not able to make so thorough an investigation, and owing to the condition of the wreck, were not able to reach the point where the mine was placed. There is no reason to believe that the Spanish government had anything to do with the blowing up of the ship. It was probably the work of one or more fanatics on the island. Their act probably brought on the Spanish war, and so cost Spain the loss of her possessions. The destruction of the Maine was not mentioned as a cause of war. President McKinley was straining every nerve to induce the Spanish to make proper concessions in regard to Cuba, and would probably have succeeded. But the destruction of the battleship and the loss of the three hundred lives aroused the whole country, and brought an irresistible pressure upon Congress, so that practically Spain lost her West India possessions and the Phillipines because of the acts of a few fanatics. OBITUARY Mrs. Creacy Pennington was born May 8, 1828, in Richmond, Va., and died Tuesday night, December 5, 1911, at 16 minutes past 10 o'clock at the ripe old gae of 83 years, 6 months and 27 days. She professed a hope in Christ nearly 60 years ago while living in Talladega, Ala. She was married to Jordan Pennington 62 or 63 years ago, who outstripped her 28 years ago and passed into the beyond. She always cherished the memory of her departed husband and lived a widow to her death. There were six children born of this unto, and now only two survive her, namely, Mrs. Luna Brown, of Estill Springs, Tenn., and Rev. J. G. Pennington, of Alabama. She was a true Christian woman and lived an upright, consistent Christian life, ever holding up the faith which was once delivered to the saints. She left to her children a goodly portion of this world's goods, but far more precious in their sight is the vast heritage of a "good name." This is truly more lasting than bold and rather to be chosen than precious ointments. Her name will ever be cherished by both colored and white for she was ever faithful to whatever trust was imposed upon her. During her illness she often spoke of "going home," and though she has left us we mourn for her not as those who have no hope, nor we believe though her earthly tabernacle be dissolved she has a home not made with hands, but eternal in the heavens. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, and leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Peace be to her ashes. 2020 Jennerson street, Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 14, 1911.

Some people think of Christmas merely as a day set apart for the giving and receiving of presents, and the sacred festival and beautiful season of gladness and song has become almost a burden. The fatigue and anxiety involved in the selection of gifts, the problem of what to give and the worry of how much to spend, exhaust our strength and patience, and by the time the task is completed we are too weared to feel the spirit of the gladson holiday. In truth, Christmas has become, in many cases, a serious tax upon our strength, and on our pocketbooks as well. I do not like to be "peachy," but indeed it is time that we call a halt on this deterioration of the most beautiful and sacred of all our holidays. Of course we owe some token of love and good wishes to our near and dear ones at this time, and also some expression of good will to our many friends and acquaintances, but let us make the gifts simple and inexpensive, dependent upon their intrinsic value as expressing our regard and our good wishes of the season rather than the obtrusive dollar mark. It is the worst possible taste to give costly presents to any person but those bound to us by the ties of kindred or deep friendship or love. To any other the costly present may be oppressive, giving a sense of obligation which the recipient resents having thrust upon him. Again, on the other hand, some of us carry on a regular traffic in Christmas presents, so-called, where each one hopes and expects to get "value received" for his outlay. Of course, this should not be. Every suggestion of sordidness should be eliminated from our Christmas giving, or we shall lose the spirit of the sweet festival of charity and good will. Then, let us give to our friends the simple little gifts that will prove precious for the regard which prompted them rather than their commercial value, as Emerson tells, a card, a picture, a little book, a bunch of flowers or a basket of fruit. For those near and dear to us, by kindred ties, or long friendship, let us give the work of our own hands, if possible. For it is true that "touched by hands of those we love, trifles do of magnitude appear." A gift is only the symbol of our love, and often the most simple and unostentatious little offering will express it as well as the most costly jewel, if only it have the touch of tenderness and love. Let us not spoil the beautiful season by lavish display and expensive presents, but give from the fullness of our hearts our simple gifts and loving wishes for a Merry Christmas.—Ex.

The Phyllis Wheatley Club makes an appeal through the Globe for help to make Christmas cheer and sunshine in the homes of the poor. This club has done this work for fifteen years and only when the work became so large, two years ago, did they call upon the public for donations of any kind. The club distributes its charity wherever needed. They see how other races look after their poor and provide happiness and cheer for them, and realize it as a duty of Negroes to do the same for their poor. They know they can and this year will do more than on any precious occasion. They will make the donation from St. Paul A. M. E. Church on the club's regular meeting day, Thursday, December 28. Any contribution of any kind will be gratefully received and properly given out. They have already a number of names of those desiring help and any persons knowing of others in any part of the city who really need help, if names and ad- Christmas Box Ties, in dozens of pretty colors, in figures and Persian effects, the kind that sell for $1.00 in the men's store; on sale Monday at ..... 75c Men's Initial Handkerchiefs, pure Irish linen embroidered initials in leather cases, six to case; special for Gifts ..... 1.50 Men's All Pure Linen Handkerchiefs, the best value we ever offered; at, each ..... $12^{1}_{2}c Men's Ties, 50 dozen on sale this week; all pretty colors; many worth up to 50c; special at, each ..... 25c Men's Ties, special at 50c—All silk, in the new colors and styles; reversible, tubular and flowing-end styles at ..... 50c CHILDREN'S FUR SETS holding all kinds and qualities.

All business men and lovers of humanity are asked to leave names and amounts with the secretary or treasurer of the club. The members desire to make many homes happy this Christmas. One poor old woman, now in glory, said one Christmas day when a Phyllis Wheatley member carried her a basket, that she did not know God had in all this wide world one person who would think of her that Christmas day. Another said, "This is the happiest day I've seen in twenty long years." The club is also trying to secure a home for the old people. In speaking of the work of the vlub the president, Mrs. G. L. Jackson said: "Let us mawe this world better and happier by having lived in it." Mrs. J. H. Hale is secretary and Mrs. Fanny Thompson is chairman of the executive board. Relief Club met with Mrs. Emma Eldridge, Tenth avenue, South, and Archer street, December 1, at 3 p. m. Opened with Song and prayer by Chaplain. Minutes of glast meetin read by secretary were received and adopted. Roll called each member responded with their dues in routine order.

The voices are harmonizing and the musicianship of the organization is more and more apparent as the rehearsals come and go. The make-up of the society is capable of producing one of the finest choruses in the country, and there is in store for the people of Nashville one of the greatest musical treats they have ever heard. In addition to the chorus work there is to be part singing and solo work by our leading singers. One interesting and important feature is the Folk Songs, which are led by Mrs. C. O. Hadley, who probably has no equal in this line of work. Her voice is perfectly adapted to this music, and her knowledge and interpretation of it are authoritative. Her leadership with the splendid support given her by the chorus produces entirely new and original harmonies, which are striking and entrancing. PLEASANT STORM PARTY A few evenings since, Prof. and Mrs. J. W. Work were very pleasantly surprised by a number of teachers and students of Fisk University with a storm party. It began with a quasi serenade, led by Miss Sylvia Ward at the front door, then suddenly there burst into the hall the merry party who took possession of the house and soon were in the midst of great fun. The games "Going to Boston," "Going to Jerusalem," "Stage Coach," and the like were enjoyed to the uttermost. Dr. M. V. Boutte made a very fitting speech to the honorees of the occasion, to which there was a response by Prof. Work. During the evening cocoa and wafers were served at intervals of rest in the games. This most enjoyable affair was arranged by Dr. Boutte and Miss Etnah Rochon. MRS. HARLAND ENTERTAINED. Misses Mary L. Clark and Nellie E.

BROWN-MCCULLOUGH The marriage of Miss Annie McCullough to Mr. Joe Brown was beautifully solemnized last Wednesday evening, December 6th, at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James McCullough, Rev. Joe Lawrence officiating. Only relatives and a limited number of friends witnessed the ceremony. The bride entered with the groom and was very attractive in a white two-piece flannel costume. Her flowers were white chrysanthemums and roses. Mr. and Mrs. Brown will reside at 633 Fogg street. They received a large collection of useful and valuable presents. TITTLE-WILLIAMS.

He is president of the Cadiz Normal and Industrial School, of Cadiz, Ky., and is editor of the Cadiz Informer. He came in over the L. & N. on Wednesday evening at 8:35. NEGRO PREACHER KILLED IN CHURCH DOOR AT MEMPHIS Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 13.—(Special) —A. B. O'Neal, barbershop proprietor, is held by the police on a charge of assassinating Rev. I. A. Williams, a Baptist preacher, in the door of his church last night. The preacher was killed with a shotgun, and O'Neal was seen in the neighborhood. A church row is said to have caused the killing. FORAKER WORTHY OF HARLAN'S MANTLE. We most earnestly second the suggestion which has been made by several of the leading papers of the Negro press, that the President of the United States would do the proper thing to submit the name of ex-Senator Joseph B. Foraker as a man fit to fill the vacancy on the United States Supreme Court bench made by the death of the late Justice John M. Harlan. It is, in our opinion, perfectly safe to say that there is not a man in all the length of breadth of the country more worthy to wear the mantle of Justice Harlan than ex-Senator Foraker. He, like Harlan, is a lover of justice and fair play, and that fact has been notably and surprisingly demonstrated, not only here in this country, but to all the world. When Senator Foraker beat down to defeat the dogged persistence and determination of President Roosevelt to fasten the crime of others upon as truer defenders as the nation ever had, he did those men and the race to which they belonged as well as the entire people a service that can never be estimated. His love of justice rose above his political fortune, and he followed out the dictates of his noble less men had a friend at court. And less men ha... a friend at court. And a friend indeed he was, whose masterful legal mind triumphed gloriously over all the adverse conditions that downright, pure and impudent prejudice had injected into the situation. Because he did this, is that why he is thought to be fit for the Supreme Court of the nation? Yes, for that identical reason, and the further reason that as a man he had so much to lose and such a combination to fight, the Roosevelt's entire regime, is full proof of the man's fitness for any position in any department of the nation's government. We are aware of the fact of the impossibility of Senator Foraker receiving such a consideration at the hand of the present administration former ad- press is the matter it is ought in fact that the mental mit himself the Supreme en million ever honor could they be that they or name in at that of are adults, grown up people, men and women, not only in New York and in other large cities, but in the smaller towns, near and remote; and this has been the case for thirty years.

Foraker has all the mental and legal acumen to acquit himself creditably as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the country. Ten million of American citizens will ever honor the name of Foraker, and could they but influence the powers that be they would put above every other name in this country, to succeed that of that great jurist, John M.

All Railroads will be asked to sell reduced round trip rate tickets for this occasion Vol. VI TRUCK GROWING. By R. T. DeBerry, Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture. As practically all of our lands in West Tennessee are deficient in the three elements mentioned, no man who grows early vegetables can afford to stint the application of fertilizer of either barnyard or commercial, as these usually give a greater return upon their cost than any other one thing that we do in connection with the crop. In this connection I want to say, that while lime is not strictly speaking, a fertilizer in the sense of containing plant food, yet most truck crops respond very readily to its application. This is brought about in two ways; one by the beneficial effect which it has upon the mechanical condition of the soil, making heavy clay lands lighter and more easily cultivated, and the light or sandy soils more compact an retentive of moisture, and at the same time by some peculiar chemical action it sets free plant food in the soil that would otherwise remain so locked up that the plants could not avail themselves of it in sufficient amounts to be of much value. One of the ways in which lime does this is by correcting whatever acidity may exist in the soil, and as not many of the valuable plants grow freely in an acid soil it pays to use the lime, if it had no other effect than that of sweetening the soil. Now a few words as to the effects of the different elements and I will proceed to the cultivation in the field. Nitrogen, the most costly and usually the most important element in plant foods, produces the leaf growth and gives to plants that dark green, vigorous color which we so much like to see in any crop. Potash produces the woody and starchy fibre and gives color to the fruit; while phosphoric acid hastens the development and maturity of the fruit and seeds. Where plants are small and yellowish in color, it indicates a lack of nitrogen, but on the other hand where plants have an abundance of leaf growth, and the plants, as in the cases of wheat, are inclined to fall over, it indicates an excess of nitrogen or a lack of potash, and potash should be supplied to remedy this deficiency. Where plants have sufficient stalk and leaf growth but do not fruit, it indicates the need of phosphoric acid; but the main thing is to keep these three elements well balanced in your soil, that is, in the proportion in which plants demand them. Plants, as well as animals, require what we call a balanced ration, to do their best, and when one element two, we either get vine and leaf at is lacking or in excess of the other the expense of fruit or we get so much fruit that the plant is not able to bring it to proper maturity. Now, I am ready to take up the cultivation of the plants in the field. After distributing your fertilizer and thoroughly mixing with the soil in your furrows, stakes four feet in length and about 1 1-4 to 1 1-2 inches in diameter, made of any available timber and slightly sharpened at one end to make them easier to set up, are driven up along the drill and you are ready to put out your plants. The plants in the bed should be thoroughly soaked with water and taken up with as much dirt adhering to the roots as possible. These are taken to the field and one plant placed by each stake, preferably on the east or south side of the stake, as you want all vegetables to get the benefit of every bit of the sunshine that they can. The soil should then be raked around the plant and firmly pressed to the roots, as they will recover from the effects of being moved much more quickly where this is done than where the dirt is raked loosely around them, and the quicker that they recover and start into growth the earlier and more profitable the crop is likely to be. Plants should be kept tied up to the stakes as fast as their growth demands, never allowing them to get high enough above the strings to fall over and break, as they are invariably damaged when they do so. Suckers will come out at each leaf joint, and these should be kept broken or cut off as fast as they get long enough, except one which comes out at the leaf joint just below the first cluster of blooms, this is called the fork, and all of our most successful growers leave that one so as to have a two pronged plant, experiments tending to show that the two pronged plants produce the heaviest crop, and that without appreciably affecting its earliness. After the plants are put out into the field I give them one good, deep cultivation, and after that only surface cultivation with small toothed or side harrows, that go more than two NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1911 523 Second Avenue. North or three inches deep. I have tried deep and shallow culture after first working, along side each other, and the shallow culture has given the best results. Shallow cultivation has several advantages over deep culture, one being that after the first or second working you have destroyed practically all of the weeds whose seeds are near enough to the top of the Please enclose a Two-cent Stamp for prompt reply ground to sprout and as a consequence less trouble is experienced in keeping the crop clean than if you keep bringing fresh seed to the surface. Another advantage is that you are enabled to go over the crop so much more rapidly, that you save time and labor, and this is an item of great importance to the trucker. The roots of the plants need air as well as the tops, and the crusts which form after every rain should be promptly broken so as to allow the air to get to the roots, and also to conserve the moisture that is so necessary to the production of profitable crops. What I have said as to soil for growing tomato plants in the beds, holds good for all plants grown in beds, but Nashville, Tenn. apt reply higher temperatures are required for egg plant and sweet peppers—say 75 to 80 degrees; while cabbage and lettuce do better at lower temperatures, growing well in a temperature of 50 degrees; but all plants grown in beds regardless of the degree of heat required for them, should have all of the sunlight and air that you can (Continued on Page 4)
