NASHVILLE GLOBE VOL. VI. MIDDLE TENNESSEE TEACHERS WILL HOLD MEETING HERE NEXT WEEK. Purpose to Organize Association. MIDDLE TENNESSEE TEACHERS DATE SELECTED IS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26TH—FIRST SESS SION TO BE HELD AT TEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING— CIRCULAR SENT OUT BY LOCAL PRINCIPAL — RETURNS INDICATE UNUSUAL INTEREST— TEACHERS IN THIS SECTION WAKING UP—A REPRESENTA TIVE GATHERING ANTICIPATED. The spirit of progress is alive among the teachers of Central Tennessee and there is to be a coming together of the forces engaged in making the next generation of colored citizens of Middle Tennessee. It has been growing during the past two years and reached its culmination at the beginning of the present year when the school principals of Nashville decided to take steps toward the organization of the public school teachers of Central Tennessee. A circular letter has been sent out by the Nashville Association and every mail brings some hearty response and assurance of co-operation from the teachers of the state. As a result, a good representation is expected to be on hand at Pearl High School on the morning of Tuesday, December 26, when Dr. John I. Watson will call the body of organizers to order. The circular letter reads as follows: Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 3, 1911. The Principals' Association of the Nashville City Schools proposes an organization of the Public School Teachers of Central Tennessee. This letter is sent to solicit your co-operation, individually, and to urge all county associations to select two representatives to attend a meeting at Pearl High School, at ten o'clock on the morning of December 26th, for the purpose aforesaid. Each county association is hereby requested to forward the names of delegates chosen, so that all arrangements may be made for their reception and entertainment here. The date of the meeting has been arranged to enable the teachers attending to take advantage of the Christmas holiday rates, and it is hoped that each county of Middle Tennessee will find the way to be represented at the beginning of the organization of the teachers of this section. We feel sure that you are interested in the making of the citizens of the next generation and will stand faithfully behind any organization proposed and created for the advancement of your profession and the best welfare of the men and women of the future. All communications should be addressed to Prof. W. B. Vassar, 1130 Jefferson street, Nashville, Tenn. Yours for public education, JOHN I. WATSON, Belleview School, President. W. R. VASSAR, Peebles School, Secretary. R. S. WHITE, Knowles School. W. S. THOMPSON, Meigs. F. G. SMITH, Pearl High School. JOHN P. CRAWFORD, Supervisor of Grammar Schools. J. B. BATTE, Napier School. H. L. KEITH, Supervisor of Manual Training. E. W. BENTON, Hadley School. FORD N. GREENE, Ashcraft School. W. M. ALLEN, Clifton School. S. B. NEAL, Nelson Merry School. C. T. RANDALLS, Lawrence School. It is expected that each County of Middle Tennessee will have one representative because each county will be entitled to one vote in beginning the organization. The Nashville teachers have planned to put themselves to some expense to entertain those attending. The meeting will be called to order promptly at 10 o'clock. Any teacher who chooses NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY DECEMBER 22, 1911 AND suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, GLORY to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ```markdown ``` to come from personal choice from a county where teachers have not chosen representatives, will be accepted as an accredited delegate and voter. It is the purpose of those behind this movement to hold the first annual meeting of the organization some time during the coming spring at the same time and place selected at the meeting December 26th. The teachers of Middle Tennessee certainly need to make new departures and to take forward steps for the advancement of the profession of teaching and the welfare of the thousands of young children who come under their supervision and are influenced very largely by the training received at their hands. Fortunately, the organization will not begin in the usual cut and dried manner of doing things. Its primary object shall be social and intellectual uplift and consequently its deliberations in the very beginning shall be clear and above board. Those present at the first meeting will very largely be influential factors in guiding and directing the future welfare of the organization FOR SWEET CHARITY. The Phyllis Wheatley Club will make their usual distribution to the poor of our race from St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Thursday, December 28, 1811, at 2 o'clock p. m.

All desiring to bring or send cases should communicate at once with Dean Hubbard. MADISON STATION Last Sunday the home of Rev. J. F. Franklin, at Madison Station, was the scene of an enjoyable feast with a party of the "true and tried" from East Star Lodge No. 20, A. F. and A. M., Nashville, as honored guests. Rev. Franklin proved as good a host as he is a Mason and his son, Wm. B. Franklin, is a "chip from the old block." Everything that one could wish was on hand to make glad the hearts of those present. Everybody is loud in their praise of the hospitable way in which they were entertained by Rev. Franklin. The following composed the party: M. V. Buford, Ed McGavock, as leaders; Brothers John McCole, Hiram Dreen, Foster T. Jones, of Nashville; Wiley Henry, J. W. Bell, Tom Reed, of Edenwood; Wm. Steele, W. M. of Lone Star Lodge No. 15, of Charlotte, Tenn.; Rev. W. H. Shute and A. E. Central. OFF TO FLORIDA FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Mrs. Malinda Bunch has gone to Deland, Fla., to visit her husband's sister, Mrs. J. W. Foster. On her return Mrs. Bunch will stop at Jacksonville. MR. TYREE IN THE CITY Mr. H. Evans Tyre, Nashville's celebrated songster, has been in the city all the week. Mr. Tyre is with the "White Slave," which has been at the Bijou all the week. The many friends of this popular young man have made it very pleasant for him. MORGAN AND LOWERY MIN- STRELS AT THE MAJESTIC Morgan and Lowery's Minstrels will open the New Majestic Theatre Monday night for a week's engagement. Mr. Johnson, the proprietor, is rushing to get everything in shape. The mechanics are working night and day, and by Saturday the building will be ready for the crowd that anxiously awaits its opening. There are scores of people in this city who like to see a good play but have not been to a theater in twelve or fifteen years for the reason they have not been able to get decent accommodations. Johnson's new Majestic relieves this situation, and with a good minstrel insures a big crowd at each performance. WOOLEN ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Shelby, with a few of their friends, celebrated their Woolen Anniversary last Friday evening. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion. A dainty two-course menu was served. Those who participated were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Clark, Mr. and Mrs. J. Frank Gray, Mrs. James Coffee, Mrs. House, Mrs. Kathe Sloan, Mrs. Ida B. Wray, Messrs. Rogers and Taylor. The out-of-town guest was Mr. Henry Gordon, of Pulaski. LADIES' AID SOCIETY The Ladies' Aid Society met at the home of Mrs. John Balle, 716 Blennville street. Those present were Rev. J. D. Richmond, Mrs. J. D. Richmond, Mrs. Mollie Hadley, Fannie Robbs, Sarah Stevenson, Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Lee Pennington, Louisa Balle, Daisy Clayton and Mollie Newman. As the roll was called each member responded with a quotation from the Bible. The club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Lee Pennington, 705 Georgia street, East Nashville. PATTON-HARRIS Mr. Ollie Patton and Miss Earline Harris were quietly married Tuesday night, December 19, 1911, at the residence of Mrs. Lena Malone, 517 Twelfth avenue, North, in the presence of a few relatives and friends. The bride's home is in Dickson, Tenn., and the groom is a prominent young Nashville man. No. 51 BAILEY, SHELTON AND LYE SCOTT. Assassinated Pettigrew Family. WHITE MEN CONFESS MURDER. CONFESSION MADE BY THEM TO SHELTON'S FATHER—SHERIFF OPENS IT—AGED MAN, SON AND LITTLE GIRL BRUTALLY SLAIN—MOST HEINOUS CRIME IN ANNALS OF STATE—FEELING IS BITTER IN THE COMMUNITY. Decaturville, Tenn., Dec. 15.—(Special.)—Lige Scott, a farmer who lives five miles south of Decaturville, was arrested to-day, charged with being accessory before the fact in the murder of Ben Pettigrew, and the latter's son and daughter on the afternoon of December 2. Scott's arrest followed a confession made by George Shelton and John Bailey in a letter addressed to Shelton's father, the later having been intercepted and opened by the sheriff of Decaturville county. Admitting that they killed the Pettigrews, Shelton and Bailey charged that the murders were committed in pursuance of a plan formulated by Scott. The object of the men was robbery, Pettigrew having been one of the most prosperous Negroes in this section of the state. Scott has been committed to jail here without bail. He refuses to admit that he had anything to do with the horrible crime perpetrated by Bailey and Shelton. The story of the tragedy given in the dispatch from Clifton was authentic. As it was reported that Shelton and Bailey had offered to make a full confession on condition that they should be guaranteed immunity from capital punishment, it is pertinent to state that no such promise has been made them, and but for the interception of the letter addressed to Shelton's father, both men would probably have pleaded not guilty. The crime of which they admit they are guilty, was one of the most helplous ever committed in this locality. They assassinated an unarmed Negro and his son and wounded his twelve-year-old daughter, the girl being shot in the hip as she was fleeing from the scene of the tragedy. She fell to the ground and one of the assassins then blew her brains out. They killed one of the mules of a team harnessed to a wagon loaded with cotton, which belonged to Pettigrew. The bodies of Pettigrew and his son were found on the wagon partly cremated, the assassins having set fire to the cotton. TENNESSEE COLORED FAIR. Re-elects Old Officers—Sets Date for Next Fair. As a stamp of the approval of the work which they accomplished during the last Tennessee Colored State Fair, the entire list of officers and directors was re-elected at a recent meeting held in the Directors' Room of the One-Cent Savings Bank. In addition to the re-election of officers the Association endorses the idea of the Colored Farmers Institute for Middle Tennessee. A request will be sent to the Department of Agriculture of the State, asking that they call the Colored Farmers-Institute to meet jointly with the Colored State Fair in this city on Tuesday following the close of the white fair which is to open September 16th. One of the largest attendances that has ever been at a Fair Association meeting was present. The Association also voted that the next regular Fair be held at Greenwood Park, and they were assured by Rev. Preston Taylor that the Fair was welcome to use the park as heretofore. MRS. JOHNNIE E. FRANKLIN MARRIES. Mrs. Johnnie E. Franklin, formerly of Nashville, Tenn., was quietly married December 13, 1911, to Mr. Sam Silas, of Little Rock, Ark.

Several committees of vast importance reported very favorably in their particulars, these being released and others appointed to indulge further in the purposes of these committees. Several plans which constitute the nucleus of the work of these committees will be announced later to the well wishers of the club. And now to all we (the Y. M. L. C.) wish you a merry Christmas and long life not only now but forever and a day. FISK CLUB The Fisk Club held its regular monthly meeting in the Library, Fisk Campus, and were entertained most royally by Mrs. Crostwaite, Mrs. Marvin and Prof. Scribner. Quite an interesting meeting was held and the large collection of dues made every one happy. Unique plans are on foot to raise more money this year than ever before. The club is growing stronger and the enrollment larger at each meeting. President and Mrs. Gates, also may members of the faculty were present besides a large number of the members of the club. The club is still wanting new members, working loyal members who are willing to help this good cause. Send in your application to Mrs. P. R. Burrus, president, and let us enroll you as a member. The club will meet with Miss Lucy White the first Friday in January, at 4 o'c'ock. An interesting musical programme will be an enjoyable feature. All members are urged to be present. FLEUR-DE-LIS ART CLUB Mrs. C. O. Hadley was the hostess of a regular meeting of the Fleur-de-Lis Art Club, December 17th, over which the president, Mrs. A. G. Price, presided. A large number of members enjoyed the program, which was given in a most interesting and entertaining way by the participants. The program which was taken entire from Dunbar was as follow: vocal solo, "Honey Chile" (Adams), Mrs. Hadley; biographical sketch, Mrs. L. H. Lewis; readings, "Putting the Baby to Sleep," "in de Mornin" and "When Malinda Sings," Mr. Chas, Kelly; reminiscences, Mrs. N. H. Plus; solo, "Little Gal" (Work), Mrs. H. A. Cameron. In the business meeting, it was decided that the club would act as Santa Claus for several children that are really in need of such attention. Money from the treasury will be used as far as it will go, and the members are asked to contribute as far as possible toys, fruit, nuts, clothing, etc. to fill stockings for five children from 2 to 10 years of age. Articles left with the president not later than Sunday afternoon will be in time to make up the packages for Christmas morning. Mrs. Hadley had as guests Mrs. A. G. Coombs and Miss Jennie Paskett. During the social hour a dainty menu was served. The club adjourned to meet with Mrs. S. P. Harris January 4, 1912. DR. RILEY TO DELIVER A SERIES OF ADDRESSES Dr. B. F. Riley, D. D., A. M., LL. D., the celebrated author, will be the guest of Nashville next week. By an arrangement unique as well as wise, Dr. Riley has been secured to come to this city during the holidays to fill three engagements. Dr. C. H. Clark is due the credit for his coming. The white ministers of the city are also interested in the affair, and will entertain Dr. Riley while he is here. They have also endorsed in their regular meeting the effort or Dr. Clark to bring Dr. Riley to Nashville. The program of the campaign is as follows: Saturday, December 29th, Dr. Riley will address a meeting at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, on Jefferson street. Sunday afternoon, December 30th, at 2:30 the big mass-meeting will be held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Sunday night, December 30th, at 8 o'clock Dr. Riley will deliver the concluding address at St. John A. M. E. Church. It is imperative that the people, both black and white, attend these lectures, as Dr. Riley bears the distinction of being the first southern white man to treat the race problem as he has. His book, entitled the "White Man's Burden," is being read in many of the leading colleges and other similar organizations, and is destined to create an entirely new sentiment in this country.

I only want two doll beds, set of dishes and a large doll house to keep them in. Santa, I have so many little friends I can not tell you the names of them all. I have three in mind, and I am afraid if I don't mention them you will forget them. Whatever you do, Santa, don't forget my friend, little Frank Pillow.

Peter wants a little automobile that will wind up and he can watch it run over the floor, little jumping jack. Henry wants a little rocking horse and a little drum and wagon. Santa, they are all three so small they are afraid of firecrackers, so they don't care for any. Santa, you will not have to make but one trip for them; they all three hang their stockings at Mr. Johnson's on Ninth avenue, North. While you are getting my things don't forget my mother and grandmother and my dear little dog, Ruffrock, who will be five years old Wednesday.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1911. The Pettigrew Murder. The murder of the Pettigrew family near Clifton a few days ago is a crime that will go down in history as one of the most heinous ever committed. The brutes who could ignore a pleading conscience and take the lives of these poor helpless people are deserving of the most severe punishment that it is in the power of man to mete out. Mr. Pettigrew was unarmed, for of all men, he least suspected that any one would try to take his life and those of his children. Again he was law-abiding and industrious, and living, as he thought, in a community of entirely law-abiding people. But to the shame of Tennessee such was not the' case. The best people in this state, the south and the country frown down on such a crime. We rejoke however to know that there has been no talk of a lynching by the Negroes of that community, which proves that the Negro is a believer in law and order. They have confidence in the officers of the law and will wait patiently that it may take its course. Nashville Would Revise It. Kansas City, Mo., December 20. Persons desiring to commit any of the minor crimes in Kansas Clay, Kans., may now estimate the cost in advance. Today a framed list of the commoner crimes and the penalties therefor was posted in the office of the Chief of Police f that city. The list follows: Letting a goat run in a public place, $5. Throwing chewing gum on sidewalks or in street cars, $5. Stealing a gate, $10. Pulling pickets off a fence, $5. Pulling pickets on a fence, $5. Having a pig pen on the place, $25. Talking "sassy" to women in stores and other public places, $25. Porters talking in rude or ungentlemanly manner, $10. Kissing in parks, $10. Allowing chickens in neighbor's garden, $5. Carrying a "bean shooter," $10. If such a list were to be promulgated in Nashville it would in all likelihood begin with this one: For "sassin" a policeman $5. Dr. R. F. Boyd, that energetic physician, banker and lodge leader, has re-opened Mercy Hospital, but under a different condition. It is now an infirmary. Dr. Boyd is always on the alert to give his people some special convenience. If the despatches are true the old axiom that "charity begins at home and spreads abroad" may be aptly applied as a forecast to Gov. Woodrow Wilson's troubles. It is reported that the first club organized in the state of which he is governor has refused to endorse him. Taft is an expert at double dealings. He abrogated the Russian treaty to catch the vote of the Jews in 1912, and at the same time made it known to the Czar's representative that he would have another just as good as soon as the old one expires. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1911 The white lodges of the city are to be commended for their activity in the interest of the white poor. The Elks are reported to have distributed 3,000 baskets, which means that 3,000 families are made happy. Some of the wet goods fellows are dying hard. Just like greedy pigs, the more they get the more they want. Boyd's Infirmary opened last Friday. For lack of space we are sorry we cannot give it all the praise it deserves. Below will be found a list of those who cheerfully donated to this worthy enterprise, for which Dr. Boyd returns thanks: Mr. Ira T. Bryant ..... $5.00 Mrs. M. E. Bryant ..... $2.00 Miss Mae M. Booker ..... 1.00 Mrs. M. A. Turner ..... 1.00 Mrs. Susie Boseley ..... 2.00 Rev. Geo. Moore and family ..... 6.00 Mr. W. H.

Without all these precautions, no beer can be healthful, and who knowingly would drink beer that was not. Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives protection against light.

Johnson made a flying trip a few days ago to Union City and delivered a strong address before a large delegation of teachers on the subject. Education. The subject was handled scholarly and logically, so that all his hearers were all the more enthused to return home to do greater work along all lines for good. On his return the boys sent up a "rousing" cheer as a token of their respect and love for their president. President Johnson reports a very pleasant trip; the change, to say the least, was a great rest for him. The heating plant in the boys' dormitory is nearing completion, and within the next few days the boys' building will be equipped with a first-class heating apparatus.

COLORED CUMBERLAND PRESBY TERIAN CONGREGATION HAVE MOVED The colored Cumberland Presbyterian congregation that has been worshipping on Hamilton street for twenty years have moved into their new place of worship, a handsome church house that the trustees recently purchased on Heiman street in North Nashville, from the white Southern Methodists. The grounds are very spacious and beautiful, as is also the church The Elders of the church have arranged through their different committees to have a series of entertainments and concerts, commencing prior to the holidays to continue throughout Christmas week, for the purpose of raising means to aid them in paying off some of the indebtedness of the church. Tuesday night, December 20th, a Twentieth Century Concert will be given at the church by the Twentieth Century Club of the church. A very interesting program will be rendered. Admission fee will be 10 cents. The patronage of the public will be greatly appreciated. The committee of one hundred with their soliciting books will continue their campaign indefinitely, for the purpose of raising means for the church. The general rally known as the "Red Letter Day" throughout the church, that was held in the interest of the Nashville church last Sunday, the 10th, was quite a success from a financial standpoint. IMPORTANT MEETING OF BUSINESS MEN TO BE HELD AT MOUND BAYOU Special to the Globe: Mound Bayou, Miss., December 18. —From reliable sources it has been learned that a meeting of much importance is to be held here beginning January 3 and lasting for three days. It is said that Mr. Charles Banks, the well-known financier and promoter, I. T. Montgomesy, George H. Mays, John W. Francis, Dr. W. P. Kyle and other enterprising Negroes in and about Mound Bayou are the NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1911. HEADQUARTERS promoters of this meeting. Persistent rumor has it that the first revolution of the wheels of the Mound Bayou Oil Mills, a $100,000 plant, will be made the day this meeting convenes, and it is the plan of the management, it is said, to keep the plant in continuous operation thereafter. The purpose of the meeting is to bring before the prominent members of the race a plan by which a better understanding can be had along the line of business. Nashville is to be represented in this conference. Several of the business men of the city are stockholders in the oil mill and the bank of Mound Bayou. It is their plan to spend at least one day in the thriving Negro town by the side of the Mississippi River. THE WANDERER'S COGITATIONS Not long since the Hon. Wm. Jennings Bryan expressed the hope that the Republican national convention would nominate the Hon. Robert M. LaFollette for the presidency of the United States.

Politicians of the old order were surprised at Mr. Bryan's utterances. They felt that Mr. Bryan, being a Democrat, ought to wish for the Republicans to nominate a weak man so that he might be beaten the more easily by the Democrats. It is significant of the new order of things that patriotic citizens of each party are now anxious to have the opposition party put forward its ablest men. They feel that when all parties have done their best the country is safe, it matters not which way the election goes. And this line of thinking has taken possession of the leaders of the various Negro denominations. Each denomination is now anxious to see the others put their very best men forward, for the entire race reaps the reward for whatever worthy achievements are wrought or suffers where leaders fail. Possessed with this thought, the Negroes who follow with racial Interest the fortunes of the A. M. E. Church are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the race for the editorship of the A. M. E. Review. All denominations of our people are united in conceding the primacy of the A. M. E. Church in the matter of publishing a great magazine. All doff their hats to the church of Alken at that point, and all somehow feel that the entire race has an equity in the matter. And it is at this one point that the A. M. E. Church has the opportunity to render a distinctive service to our people, to fill a niche for which she is the sole dependence of the race at present. Are the Negroes profound? Are they capable of expressing their thoughts after the most approved methods of literary expression? Is there anywhere in the race an opportunity for such an expression? These questions the entire Negro race at present hand over to the A. M. E. Church to answer. To an outsider it would seem that that church just now has an exceptional opportunity to give an acceptable answer to these questions. One of the aspirants for the post of Editor is a man of unusual ability, eloquent of tongue and pen, a thinker of the highest order, a man with the true literary instinct. We speak no words of idle flattery when we say that in company of the world's best thinkers, he is fully at home and truly among his peers. Wherever he has appeared to open his mouth, his eloquence of speech and profundity of thought have explained the massiveness of the splendid head that sits upon his shoulders. As a writer he deals with matters fundamentally and yet with lucidity. Seldom do you find men anxious to cross swords with him in argumentation, for he is ever a foeman worthy of their steel. We are really anxious to know just how the A. M. E. Church will dispose of this unique opportunity; just what disposition it will make of the intellectual giant that has stood up to be counted if his brethren need him.

A TALK IN DAIRY FARMING. By R. M. Murphy. The soils on many of our farms have reached such a state of depletion that grain farming is unprofitable. We cannot afford to grow wheat with a yield of ten bushels per acre, or corn with a yield of twenty bushels, and use $2.00 worth of commercial fertilizer per acre. In so doing, year after year, enormous sums are expended for commercial fertilizers, but the yields get smaller and smaller. The use of commercial fertilizers in building up soils and increasing yields, requires special study and a better knowledge of soil and crop needs than is possessed by the average farmer. On the other hand there are many good instances of farms where there is a yearly increase in the value and productivity of the soil, due to the fact that the crops raised are grown primarily for the maintenance of a dairy herd, and but little is sold except their products. In addition to the feed grown, considerable quantities of concentrated feeds are purchased, which are greatly to the value of the manure produced. By such practice it is possible not only to maintain the fertility of the soil, but to gradually improve it, provided the manure is properly cared for. The fertilizer elements sold off the farm in one ton of milk may be recovered by feeding 200 pounds of cotton seed meal; or if butter alone is sold, the fertilizer elements in one ton of butter may be returned by feeding 50 pounds of cotton seed meal. Every farmer knows the beneficial effect of an application of farmyard manure, but its real value is not appreciated, else it would not be allowed to remain exposed to the weather under the eaves of the barn, where it may easily lose one-half of its value. The great dairy state of our country to-day is Wisconsin. With an area but one-fourth greater than Tennessee, she has four times as many dairy cows. The value of her dairy products last year was over $79,000,000, or a sum greater than the total value of all her farm crops, wheat, oats, rye, potatoes, tobacco, etc. This remarkable development of the dairy industry is not due to any peculiar adaption of soil or climate over many other parts of our country. Much of the land in Wisconsin that is now devoted to dairy farming, was badly run down by continuous cropping in wheat. Many new settlers came in there from the dairy countries of Europe, and naturally engaged in dairying. The business was found profitable, and now in many sections of the State every man is a dairyman, with a herd generally of from 25 to 50 cows. Wisconsin does not possess the climatic advantages that Tennessee has. From the manufacturing standpoint, there is a certain advantage in the shorter hot season of the North, since milk products are especially difficult to handle in hot weather, also the cold winters enable them to store up a supply of ice sufficient to last throughout their hot season. But with the great advance in recent years in the perfecting of refrigerating machinery, the matter of maintaining most favorable temperatures is much more satisfactorily accomplished than by depending upon the natural supply of ice. The greatest evil of the dairy industry is the general prevalence of unprofitable cows. One-half of the cows in Tennessee to-day are kept at but slight, if any profit, and many of them Dolls Buggies Carts Trunks Toys, All Kinds at a dead loss; so that there can be no hope for a satisfactory profit until they are disposed of. The keeping of such animals year after year, is purely a matter of carelessness. It is a simple matter to take account of what each animal is producing, still we go on guessing at our profits. An accurate record of the milk produced and food consumed by a cow, is considered of little importance by the average-dairman, but this neglect of the very first principles of business is due to the lack of profit in a great majority of instances. The dairy department of the University of Michigan found that they could afford to pay a man $40. A month to keep a record of their herd of 30 cows, due to the more economical production made possible by feeding the cows individually, according to the amount of milk produced. Keeping an account with each cow is just as important as keeping an account with the hired man. If the hired man is too inefficient to make his employment profitable, he is let go, or if retained, is paid in accordance with the labor he performs. While no measure of the cow's efficiency is taken and she is paid without r guard to her production. In connection with the record of production an account must be taken of the food consumed. There is no necessity for weighing roughage which has been produced upon the farm, as fed to eah cow. The cows should have all the roughage they will eat and the whole amount consumed be apportioned approximately correct between them. In feeding high priced concentrates or grain of any kind, use a measure which may be filled with the grain and weighed, so that the amount fed each cow per month may be calculated. The value of food consumed subtracted from the value of the milk, etc., shows very readily whether or not the cow is paying for her board. At the end of the year, those that are in debt go to the butcher, and heifer calves are saved from the best cows in the herd to take their places. Next in importance to good cows, is proper feeding. Many cows would produce milk profitably if fed better. To produce milk economically the cow must be supplied with foods which furnish the necessary nutrients in the proper proportions. Furthermore, this food must be sufficiently bulky and of a more or less succulent nature, for best results. The ratio of the necessary nutrients has been found to be about one part protien to six parts carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are supplied in hay made from the common grasses, in corn and corn silage. The protien in leguminous plants, such as clover, alfalfa, cow peas, soy beans and in concentrated feeding stuffs, e. g. wheat bran and cotton seed meal. On the farm where all the roughage needed is produced there will be no lack of carbohydrate matter, but it it this roughage is low in protein, a large amount of carbohydrate material will be wasted in securing the necessary amount of protein. For this reason it is safe to say that in buying a concentrate to supplement the available roughage, it should be selected on its protien contents. At present market prices, the protein in wheat bran costs ten cents per pound, while in cotton seed meal it costs only three cents per pound; so that cotton seed meal is a much more economical source of protein than either of the others. A cow that is producing two and one-half gallons of milk per day requires about two pounds of protein. She should be fed grain in proportion to the quantity of milk given. The rule commonly followed is to allow one pound of grain for every three pounds of milk produced. The other matter which effects profit is the character of the product. Much of the butter made in the state NASHVILLE GLOBE, FR1DAY, DECEMBER 22, 1911. Mugs, Vases Box Candies Candy in Bulk Books for Children Oxford Bibes (DAVIS' STORES) sold for 10 to 15 cents per pound, for no other reason than that it does not reach the buyer in marketable condition. The old-fashioned round print should be discarded, because its shape is not adaptable to wrapping up in a clean, sanitary manner, not can it be packed so as to retain its shape until it reaches the market. The consumer wants a uniform product the year round; he does not want his butter white one week and deep yellow the next, nor gritty with salt one week and unsalted the next. Uniform methods must be followed in every step of the manufacture in order to produce a uniform product. He does not want his butter to be strong just because old "Muley" is about dry. We must overcome all such little faults and produce what the market demands, then we can demand our price, and get it. Dairying is no get-rich-quick scheme, but it offers the greatest opportunity for restoring the fertility to our barren and washed hillsides, many of which should be put back in grass and be allowed to remain there. Necessity demands that we go into live stock farming, and no other kind of live stock will return greater profit or satisfaction than a good herd of dairy cows. City Items. An affair which will be marked by a charm of interest will be the marriage Monday evening at 8 o'clock of Mr. Joe Mitchell and Miss Pauline Matthews.

Mr. Waters is a successful carpenter and quite a respected citizens and stands high in his community among both colored and white. Miss Snordan is regarded by her friends as being fortunate in her choice of a companion to sail together in her future life upon the matrimonial sea. The marriage was performed at the home of the bride in Logan County. After the ceremony, together with a number of friends the party drove to Allensville to the beautiful home of the groom, where a sumptuous repast waited the coming of the party. After supper the party enjoyed themselves in the expression of good wishes and congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Waters until a late hour in the night, after which they bade them good night and departed.

San Francisco, Dec. 19.—A few days from now—December 26, to be exact—two colored heavyweights, Sam McVea and Sam Langford, will box at the Rushcutter's Bay Stadium, Sydney, Australia. On account of the difference in time news of the result will reach here Christmas Day. In ordinary times the fact that McVea and Langford were to meet would not cause undue excitement. They fought in Paris, for that matter, early in the present year and shared the honors of a draw after twenty rounds of milling. Now, with Jack Johnson on the retired list, the two Sams loom up more prominently in the fastic world. They are regarded, in Australia at least, as the two best men entitled to box for the laurel's voluntarily laid down by Johnson. Before McVea and Langford visited Australia Jack Lester and Bill Lang were looked upon as the best heavyweights in that country. McVea since his arrival there knocked out both men, while Langford defeated Lang in a signal matter in London some time ago. Hugh D. McIntosh, who is promoting the McVea-Langford affair, is not advertising it as an out-and-out championship battle. In his posters and circulars, McIntosh describes the bout as the "semi-final of the world's heavyweight championship." This may be modesty on the promoter's part or it may be that Me is not in a hurry to kill the goose that contributes the golden eggs Where there is a semi-final, the inference is there will be a final and Me probably is looking forward to another big gathering of sporting men, and, of course, another big "gate." In a letter to the writer, McIntosh said: "The match is creating an extraordinary amount of interest here and I prognosticate the crowd will almost equal in dimensions that which witnessed the Burns-Johnson contest." As the bout last mentioned drew over $120,000, it can be seen McIntosh considers the McVea-Langford contest an exceedingly high-class attraction. Langford, of course, is known in every city and hamlet on both sides of the Atlantic and there is no occasion to remind readers of what he has accomplished. McVea has done the bulk of his fighting in Parts. He was discovered at Oxnard, Cal., and made his debut in a Los Angeles ring. His career began auspiciously. He knocked out Kid Carter in eleven rounds in May, 1903, and three months later tumbled Denver Ed Martin in one round. After that, McVea did not do so well. He lost twice in succession to Jack Johnson in Los Angeles, each bout going the full twenty rounds. In April, 1904, he boxed Johnson in this city and was knocked out in the twentieth round. A few months later he went against Denver Ed Martin in Los Angeles and went under in the tenth round. McVea turned up in Paris in 1907 and practically ruled the heavyweight roost in the French capital for a couple of years. His one setback was when he met Joe Jeannette in a finish contest in April, 1909, and was knocked out in the forty-ninth round. That affair was not entirely devoid of a suspicion of trickery, but even if he was honestly worsed by Jeannette there is no gainsaying that Paris was the making of McVea. He went there a clumsy performer and was converted into a clever boxer. Since McVea's arrival in Sydney he has won golden opinions from the sports of that country. He defeated Jack Lester twice and disposed of Bill Lang in two rounds. As showing the coolness and confidence that has come to him, it may be cited that after administering the knockout blow to Lang he turned and chatted across the ropes with friends at the ringside while Lang was being counted out. In Australia they think McVea will defeat Langford. In England the reverse is the belief. These opinions would count far more were it not that McVea is practically a stranger to English fight crowds, while Langford has yet to be seen in action in Australia. With Johnson out of the game the winner of the McVea-Langford contest will come pretty near being considered the champion of the world. N. A., S. A. E., A., A. and A.
