NASHVILLE GLOBE VOL. VI. HAD INSULTED MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY. Ewell Barfield Slayer Telephones Sheriff. FRANK AND LEWIS RAMSEY, BROTHERS, TWO DEAD—FIVE WERE IN THE MOB—ONE MADE HIS ESCAPE — SHERIFF RESPONDS HURRIEDLY TO SCENE —ASSAILANTS LANDED IN JAIL IN HICKMAN—BARFIELD TAKEN ELSEWHERE—WORST HAPPEN- ING OF COMMUNITY. (Nashville Tennessee.) Hickman, Ky., Dec. 26.—(Special)—The county officers received a telephone message here about 6 o'clock to-night from Ewell Barfield, a Negro on C. T. Bondurant's farm six miles below here that a party of white men had surrounded his house and were trying to kill him, and that they had already wounded him before he could get in his house. And after getting in that he had killed one white man, who was lying ocross his front steps and had wounded another, and for them to come as quickly as possible before they killed him. A posse of twelve men rushed to the scene on horseback and succeeded in capturing two of the white men. It seems that there were five men in the party after the Negro, one being killed outright and the wounded one dying after being brought here. The fifth man made good his escape, but will be captured, no doubt, as they have his name. The two men dead are Frank and Lewis Ramsey, brothers. Two of the officers with their two prisoners, the dead man and wounded man who died a few hours later, and the Negro, Barfield, also wounded, caught the C. M. & O. train as it came in at Ledford Station, six miles from here, arriving here at 8:30. The two white men were put in jail and the Negro hurried away from town and put in some other jail. Ewell Barfield, the Negro, was coming home from church with his family, and met up with three white men and they were cursing and swearing and he requested that they stop using profane language in the presence of his family. Whereupon they became offended and followed him to his house where the shooting took place. This was one of the worst things that ever happened in this section, and the whole town and community were terrified with the news. HOW CHRISTMAS WAS OBSERVED IN NASHVILLE. Commensurate with the former celebrations at the Merry Christmas tide. commemorating the glorious birth of three Christ-child the Christmas spirit in Nashville was pregnant with a desire on the part of every one to bring good cheer and hearty greetings to all, especially to the unfortunate ones who otherwise would have spent a cheerless Christmas. The prevailing spirit in all the many entertainments given showed a total lack of selfishness and a beautiful display of self-denial in order that the young and old, the rich and poor might together sing in their hearts of hearts the song which greeted the shepherds on that memorable morning, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Among the churches, organizations and individuals who brought cheer to the hearts of the many cmfweo lis Wheatley Club, which made many valuable donations to the needy; the Fleur-delis Club, which had as its benefactors a poor widow and a family of seven children; Miss Eva Green, who opened her home, and together with some of her friends spread a Christmas tree from which many poor children received precious gifts. The churches of the different denominations played Santa Claus as usual, to a large number of children by giving entertainments at their respective buildings as follows: NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY DECEMBER 29, 1911 BROWN'S GREEK OUT OF BANKS Brave Men Organize Rescue Parties. WOMEN AND CHILDREN CARRIED TO SAFETY BY STRONG MEN—FIRE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS CALLED UP—CHIEF AND SIX FIREMEN RESPOND TO CALL—WITH SKIFF THEY AID IN THE RESCUING—J. D. TUCKER HAS NARROW ESCAPE—HORSE DROWNS. On account of the unusually heavy rains Brown's creek in Trimble Bottom was out of its banks and flooding the surrounding community Monday, spreading devastation among the residents of that section. The creek, which is only about fifteen feet wide, normally, rose rapidly all day Tuesday, but it was not thought that it would overflow, and the people living in the community were surrounded by the rushing torrent before they had time to realize their danger As soon as it became known that the lives of the women and children were in danger the men organized rescue parties and began the work of rescuing those who could not care for themselves. The situation became so threatening that it was evident more aid would be needed, so an alarm was sent in to the fire headquarters and Chief Rozetta and six firemen went to the scene, the chief going in his auto and the firemen in hose wagon No. 1. When the firemen arrived on the scene they took a skiff and rowing through the swiftly running water, reached the houses and carried the inmates to places of safety. About twenty women and children were rescued in this manner. The men saved themselves by wading out. J. D. Tucker, a resident of that vicinity, attempted to cross the stream in his delivery wagon, but the bridge washed away, his horse lost his footing and fell, drowning before it could be raised. Mr. Tucker was rescued by other citizens. The wagon is a total wreck. Several dead hogs were noticed floating down the stream and much loss has resulted from the overflow. Brown's creek enters the corporation near La Fayette street and empties into a branch of the Cumberland. It is only about three miles in length, but an unusually lorge rain will soon put it out of its banks. Those living in the vicinity of the creek state that they have never before seen the stream so high. The last overflow, it was stated, came about twelve or fifteen years ago, when several daring rescues were made in order to save the lives of those living near the banks of the stream. St. John A. M.

JOHN'S DAY CELEBRATION AND INSTALLATION At the Masonic Hall on Fourth avenue, North, the annual celebration of St. John's Day and the public installation of officers of the various city lodges took place Wednesday evening, December 27. A large crowd of masons, their wives, and friends, were present to enjoy the program and partake of the feast. The meeting was opened with a song, "Coronation," after which Brother W. T. Hightower offered prayer. "Bless Be the Tie That Binds" was then sung by the audience. Brother T. B. Hardiman, master of ceremonies made remarks and introduced to the audience Brother W. P.

STARKS, TYREE AND DAMON LODGES JOIN HANDS WITH ASSOCIATION. LADY CITY TEACHERS CONSTITUTE ASSOCIATION HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE GIFTS ANNUALLY-BIG BASKETS TO BIG FAMILIES-AMOUNTS CONTRIBUTED. The colored Pythian Lodges through the Arts and Crafts Association, for the first time in Nashville, played Santa Claus to the colored children. On last Saturday, December 23, the ladies of the Arts and Crafts Association of Social Service Workers gave out a large number of baskets to the poor children of Nashville with money donated from the Pythian Lodges. The lodges which gave so cheerfully the money have shown to the poor children that Damon and Pythias truly live in the hearts of the members of Lightfoot, Stonewall, S. W. Starks, Tyree and Damon Lodges, and that the Pythian spirit and vow go further than the altar of the lodge halls. It was impossible to tell who were the gladdest, the children who received th baskets or the ladies of the Arts and Crafts Association who worked so hard to make the entertainment a success; for all had that broad smile which will not come off. The young ladies of the Arts and Crafts Association, who are all city teachers, have worked hard to make this a success and only the families who would have had empty cupboards on Christmas morning can tell how well they have succeeded. During the heavy rains of last week these ladies were out at night begging the officers of the lodges to donate something for this offering. They could not get to all of them on account of the rain, but are very thankful to the lodges that responded to their call. This will be an annual offering and it is hoped that the lodges will begin now to prepare for next year's gift. The ladies of the Association made personal investigations of the families that were served, and found many more, but had not enough money to fill more baskets. Twelve baskets contained each: 1 chicken, 6 lbs. of flour, 2 1-2 lbs. of candy, 2 lbs. of raisins, 6 oranges, 6 bananas, 2 1-2 lbs. of sugar. Eight baskets contained each: 1 chicken, 12 lbs. of flour, 3 lbs. of candy, 2 lbs. of raisins, 8 oranges, 8 bananas, 4 lbs. of sugar. The eight baskets containing more of each article were given to families with 5 and 6 children. "For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in." The following lodges donated: Lightfoot $1.00 S. W. Starks 1.00 Stonewall 2.50 Tyree 6.25 Damon 10.00 $20.75 Pupils in Mrs. Laura P. Allen's room .30 Pupils in Miss Laura B. Coleman's room .10 Pupils in Miss Emma Jo Cockrill's room 1.30 $22.45 Miss C.

TEACHERS GATHER IN THIS CITY AND PERFECT ORGANIZATION THE GATHERING A REPRESENTATIVE ONE — PROGRESS, HARMONY, CO-OPERATION AND ENTHUSIASM WERE PREVAILING SPIRITS—NASHVILLE MAN CAPTURES HIGHEST HONOR—PROF. W. F. REYNOLDS SECRETARY—MISS McGAVOCK REPRESENTS DAVIDSON COUNTY. The Middle Tennessee Colored Teachers' Association was organized at Pearl High School last Tuesday in spite of the inclement weather. Promptly at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning the teachers gathered and proceeded immediately to business. There was a large attendance and an unusual degree of tnthusiasm was manifested. Prof. Washington, of Pearl High School, was elected as Temporary Chairman, and John Peyton, of the Davidson County Schools, was chosen Temporary Secretary. A committee on constitution was appointed to prepare the laws to govern the organization. Some spirited debate arose as to the time of the committee reporting. It was finally decided to have the committee make its report before the end of the session. Prof. E. W. Benton, of Hadley School, then arose and addressed the teachers. He spoke mainly concerning the work of Teachers' Associations and expressed his desire to cooperate with the members in making the organization a success. The Chairman then invited Prof. H. L. Keith to address the body. It was Mr. Keith whom the Nashville principals appointed to issue the call for the gathering. He was absent at the beginning of the meeting and the teachers desired an expression from him. Prof. Keith spoke chiefly of the desire of the Nashville school principals and teachers to co-operate with the rest of the teachers in Middle Tennessee in raising the standard of the profession and advancing the welfare of the next generation of colored citizens. He said: "Every school house in Middle Tennessee will be a center of moral, social and material power in promoting the welfare of our future men and women if we will make it so. If the next generation is a failure along these lines, then the teachers will be failures." Mr. Keith urged co-operation along the broadest possible lines and fair and square dealing in conducting the affairs of the new organization. Dr. J. P. Crawford followed Prof. Keith in a forceful address in which he stressed the necessity of a firm resolve, a strong determination and vigorous work in pressing the association so as to make it a factor of real good and usefulness in the promotion of education in Middle Tennessee. The addresses of the speakers met with hearty favor and those assembled caught their spirit. The committee on constitution reported and the teachers assembled went to work with determination. Profs. Fred Randals, H. A. Cameron, W. T. Reynolds, F. N. Greene and Miss Beulah McGavock were a committee appointed to frame the constitution and by-laws. The report was received very cordially, and the constitution as presented, with a very few exceptions, was adopted. The constitution of the Middle Tennessee Colored Teachers' Association provides for a fee of $1 a year for each member. All teachers in the schools of Middle Tennessee are eligible. This includes teachers in higher institutions and secondary schools. The organization is divided into five distinct sections. A school, officers and supervisors' section; and a manual training and industrial section and a primary department. The heads of the different sections of the association and one representative from each county in Middle Ten- (Continued on Page 5) TRY TO SHOW DENSE IGNORANCE. Has a Master Mind Prepare a Document.

Y. M. L. C. NOTES. In speaking of surprises, the club entertained one of the most unexpected nature. This quite pleasant treat was in honor of their President, Mr. E. L. Kinzer, who has spent the Christmas holidays with his parents and friends. Friends assembled at the home of Mrs. Kinzer at an early hour, but when the boys of the club made their appearance, suspicion set in, which caused the President uneasiness, and he never recuperated until the completion of the program, which left him a bit dazed. The club was opened with the usual devotional exercises and prayer by Dr. Sexton, of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, followed by his lengthy program: Song, "Joy to the World" ..... Club Reading, "On the Night Before Christmas" ..... B. S. Scruggs Music ..... Quartette Toast on Christmas ...Jordan Stockard Music ..... Quartette Welcome address ...Jordan Stockard Response ..... E. L. Kinzer Original poem, "Club Poet"... ..... A. R. Stockard Music ..... Quartette Presentation of present from the classroom club ..... T. G. Marshall Much can be mentioned of this spectacular occasion, for this alone will be recorded in the history of the club along with other noted events of the club's career. The club presented to Mr. Kinzer a token of respect and esteem, a handsome watch job of leather with an amethyst charm. This he accepted with a response which thrilled the hearts of the donors. After this notable program a real sumptuous repast was prepared by Mrs. Kinzer, of which all partook lavishly, after which Mr. Kinzer bade all adieu, to return to Centerville, Thursday morning to resume his responsibilities. Mr. E. L. Kinzer dined Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. Russell Stockard, of 1606 State street. Later he also dined with Mr. E. L. Aléxander, on Tuesday at the family home on Webster street. BIG STORES IN CHICAGO EMPLOY 172 NEGROES. (The Illinois Chronicle.) In the rush and hustle of the holiday shopping when every one who has money to spend seems eager to spend it, the question presents itself, "where does all of this money which amounts to more than $56,000,000 annually spent by the colored people come from?" "What part of it, if any, do they receive in salaries or otherwise from the big department stores where most of their money, not only in the holiday season, but every day of the year, is spent?" The Chicago Negro Business League sent out a number of letters to business houses of the city in May, 1910, asking the following question: How many Negroes are employed in your firm? Class of employment? How long have you employed colored help? What would you suggest to increase their efficiency? Many of the firms replied to these questions, among which are the following stores: Hillman's employ Negroes as follows: 18 elevator operators, two maids, and five coal passers in the engine room. The Chronicle recently called up the superintendent of this store to inquire if they were still employing colored help, and as to whether they had increased or decreased their number, and was informed that they still employ about the same number, and that they find their services perfectly satisfactory. Siegel Cooper & Company have 18 employed as follows: fifteen elevator men, two maids, one clerk in the grocery department. In answer to the question. What would you suggest to increase their efficiency, the answer was "Better education and close application." Carson, Pirie, Scott and Co., only employs three and the Chronicle is recently advised by their superintendent that they would not employ any more colored people and that the ones they now have as porters have been there for some time. Marshall Field and Co., Mandell Bros., and The Fair, three of the largest department stores in the city, with whom thousands of dollars are spent annually by the colored people in Chicago, do not employ a single colored person. The Boston Store employs about one hundred maids and porters. Rothschilds and Co., who have just completed a new addition to their building have been employing colored elevator men for about one year, and have put them in the new building since its completion this year. They mains, two kitchen and one other. These stores and many other business houses employing colored help report their services satisfactory, and in their remarks, many suggestions are made as to how their efficiency may be increased, which suggestions are applicable to employees of any race. Those who do not employ colored help give no reason for not employing them, beyond the statement that "we just do not employ colored help." It was suggested to many firms that in view of the fact that so much money was spent with them by colored people, they should be more generally employed by stores patronized by them. It was generally admitted that the firms do not consider the question from that point of view. JONES & HOPKINS MFG. CO.

Mr. Harris was selected by the committee of arrangement of the emancipation celebration to deliver the oration on this annual event.

A most beautiful wedding was solemnized Sunday night when Mr. Henry Rucks led to the altar Miss Ella Robinson at the home of the bride's parents. The house was fairly aglow with variegated electric lights. The parlor was festooned with potted plants and evergreens. The bride wore a becoming costume, while the groom was appropriately dressed in conventional black. Immediately after the ceremony the happy pair left for Lebanon, where a big reception was tendered by the groom's parents MITCHELL-MATTHEWS. In the presence of a host of intimate friends Mr. Joseph Mitchell, of East Saint Louis, Ill., and Miss Pauline Matthews, the daughter of Mrs. Anna Matthews, of 906 Shankland street, were united in holy wedlock at the residence of the bride's mother by Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Church, Monday night, December 25. It was a beautiful home wedding. The maid of honor was Miss Annie Frank Brame, while the bridesmaid was Miss Myrtle Sanford. The best man was Mr. Samuel Tinner, and the groomsman was Mr. H. H. Griffin. The bride wore a beautiful white crepe de chere, while the groom wore conventional black. The ceremony was performed at 8 p. m., after which a reception was held at the residence from 8 to 10 p. m. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell will be at home at 906 Shankland street. TITTLE-WILLIAMS NUPTIALS: An occasion of much interest, owing to its being a link in the chain of pretty weddings that occurred the week before Christmas, and the prominence of both parties in Nashville's young set, was the wedding of Miss M. Virginia Williams and Mr. A. E. Tittle, at the home of the bride's mother, 528 Lischev avenue. Wednesday evening, December 20, at eight o'clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. Davenport Bushell. The house was artistically decorated with palms and cut flowers. Before the bridal party entered the parlor, Miss Geneva Bender sang "To the End of the World with You." Exactly at eight o'clock to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, played by Mrs. William Hunt, the bridal party entered the room and was met under an arch of palms by the officiating minister. The bride was a picture of girlish loveliness in a white messaline satin, trimmed in lace and seed pearls. The maid of honor, Miss Cassandra Dodson, wore pink mull and carried --- A CORRECTION. believed will eclipse any of recent years. DR. JONES WELL LIKED AT PAYNE CHAPEL. Thus far the pastorate of Dr. H. L. P. Jones at Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church on the East side, has been very successful. His manner of preaching and business tact has won the people of East Nashville. Offerings for church work have been beyond the ordinary, each department being in good working spirit. Sunday and Monday, January 14 and 15, are the dates of the first quarterly conference. Dr. F. W. Gardner, presiding elder of the South Nashville district, will preach and preside over the conference. A storm party visited Dr. Jones on the night of the 21, and left him a bountiful supply of provisions. The Human Xmas Tree and Cantata of Payne Chapel Sunday-school Monday night was an enjoyable feature of the season, under the auspices Flagg and Superintendent R. H. Wilson.

After the ceremony ices and cakes were served. The bridal table was beautifully covered with a handsome battenburg cloth and had as its center the bride's cake. The bride is the accomplished daughter of Mrs. Millie Williams, while the groom is one of the most respected employees of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union. They have a host of friends who wish them much happiness. For the present they are making their home with the bride's mother. O'BRYANT-STRINGER On Wednesday evening, December 27th, the rite of matrimony was administered to Dr. W. E. O'Bryant and Miss Layde Beatrice Stringer at the home of the bride's uncle, Mr. Chas. Stringer, of Third avenue, South. The marriage was a quiet affair and was the culmination of a romance of several years' standing. Promptly at 9:30 o'clock Miss Georgia Holman, of Tampa, Fla., began Mendelssohn's wedding march, and Miss Stringer leaning on the arm of her uncle, Mr. Chas. Stringer, entered the parlor, followed by the groom and his best man. To the strains of the Flower Song Rev, Preston Taylor pronounced the solemn service that made them man and wife, and offered a fervent prayer, asking the choicest兑edictions of heaven on the happy pair The bride is the daughter of Mr. Marion Stringer, a prominent planter of Franklin, Ky., but since the death of her mother has made her home with her grandmother and uncle in this city. Mrs. O'Bryant has, since the organization of the Nashville Globe Company, been the efficient clerk in the office of that concern, and has by her contact with the public in a professional way become to be one of the best known and most highly respected young ladies in the city. She possesses a charming personality which has won for her many loyal friends who will regret her departure to another city. Dr. O'Bryant is a pharmaceutical graduate of the class 1909 of Meharry Medical College and is proprietor of a handsome drug store in Pine Bluff, Ark., where he enjoys a most lucrative patronage, and where he has fitted up a cozy cottage for his bride. The happy couple left immediately for their new home bearing with them many good wishes of a host of friends. The popularity of the contracting parties was attested by a beautiful collection of valuable wedding gifts. --- "EUREKA" IN OUR Now Style Church Seatings 1 For a number of years the National Baptist Church Supply Company has been dealing more than $20,000 for cabinet and seating machinery, erecting buildings, training men, etc., we set out with the earnest desire to find a style method, etc., that would meet the popn an demand, and we believe that "we have found it" in our new style church seats, Nos. 2, 3 and 4. FRONT VIEW OF NEW STYLE NO. 2. The above cut is an exact photograph front view of our new style church seat, No. 2. The body of this church seat is about the same as our famous 401 pew body, has all of the comfort of the finest pew and highly finished in golden oak. These seats can be made in any length, but cannot be made in circular seating. The above shows an exact photograph of our famous new style church pew No. 3. The body of this pew is made up the same as our No. 401 pew body, except that it cannot be made in circular seating. The pew ends are 2-ply and built up from small strips the same as our No. 9 and No. 11 pew ends. They have not the decor and ornaments that beautify and make valuable that noted pew end that we have upon the market. This pew is beautifully finished in golden ones, gloss finished and is an ornament to any church. It can be made in any length desired, according to the desire of the church. The back is high and the sides are decorated if desired, book and envelope racks, the same as the finest pew. Prices are given from estimates made up from the length desired. ```markdown ``` A FRONT VIEW OF A NEW STYLE NO. 4 CHURCH PEW BUILT UP OF OUR NO. 9 PEW END AND 402 BODY.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1911. Christmas Casualities. The list of Christmas casualities this year may not be as large as they have been in other years, but are too large for a city of this size, and more so when it is taken into consideration that Nashville is in fact the Athens of the South and it is expected that with her splendid public school system and her numerous colleges and universities she would have a reasonably sane citizenship. It will be observed by a perusal of the list that the majority of the Negroes injured are young men between the ages of 18 and 30, while the majority of the white persons injured were between the ages of 5 and 14. This is a bad showing for the black men and shows that there is a laxity somewhere that must be checked. Christmas is a time when all should be happy, but it is imperative that the people should be taught the real meaning of the celebration, and what happiness is; that getting drunk and shooting everybody, friend as well as foe, is foolishness, and is invariably the result of liquor in and reason out. We should rejoice, if with a loud shout, let it be to the glory of him who gave his son a "ransom for many." The Emancipation Celebration. At this season of the year, it is generally the case that Negroes throughout the country discuss and in some instances celebrate the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. It often happens that men who were residents of different sections of the country at that time are now living in the same community. For example, a Texan who has been accustomed to celebrate the occasion the fourth day of June is living in the same neighborhood with a Tennessean who has been taught to celebrate on the first day of January. You see how far apart they are. These two men engage in a friendly discussion but part without reaching an agreement. What is true in the case of the Texan and Tennesseon is true of Negroes of other states and sections of states, and on we go as a race, divided over a matter that is most vital to us. All agree that the Proclamation was written, issued, and put into effect. The one thing the Negroes should do is to discuss this matter thoroughly and settle on a day acceptable to the Negroes of all sections of the country. It should not be hastily decided, but ample time should be given for our ablest men to discuss this question and then it would probably be a good plan for each state to elect representatives to a national convention and there have the matter settled by the people once for all. Then Negroes in every state should waive their favorite days and all join in one national celebration from sea to sea and from the lakes to the Gulf. Troubles Within. Colored folks should understand that our greatest troubles will be found within. The race must be NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1911. To Colored Men: Greetings— I am taking advantage of the approaching New Year to address you a few words of serious greeting. You represent the first generation of your race, now grown to fullness of the stature of manhood, under the influence and power of education. You are the first ripened fruit of philanthropy and by you alone will its wisdom or folly be justified. The hope of the race is focused in you. You are to furnish the headlight to direct the path through the dangers and vicissitudes of the wilderness. For want of vision the people perish; for want of wise direction they stumble and fall. There is no body of men in the world to-day, nor in the history of the world, who have, or ever have had, greater responsibilities or more coveted opportunities than devolve upon you. It is indeed a privilege to be a Negro of light and leading in such a time as this. The incidental embarrassments and disadvantages which, for the time being must be endured, are not to be compared with the far more exceeding weight of privilege and glory which awaits you if you rise to those high demands. For such a privilege well may you forego the pleasures of civilization for a season. Your world consists of ten million souls, who have wrapped up in them all the needs and necessities, powers and possibilities of human nature; they contain all the forms of civilization, from its roots to its fluorescence. Yours is the task to develop and vitalize these smothered faculties and potentialities. Your education will prove to be but vanity and vexation of spirit, unless it ultimates in this task. You are the salt of this earth, and if the salt loses its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? If the light within the racial world be darkness, how great is that darkness! The highest call of the civilization of the world to-day is to the educated young men of the belated races. The educated young manhood of Japan, China, Egypt, and Turkey must lift their own people up to the high level of their own high conception. They must partake of the best things in the civilization of Europe and show them unto their own people. Your task is the same as theirs, intensified, perhaps, by the more difficult and intricate tangle of circumstances and conditions with which you must deal. You cannot afford to sink into slothful satisfaction and do your little job, draw your little pay, and enjoy your tasteless leisure, and with inane self-deception hide your little head under the shadow of your wings, like the foolish bird, which thereby hopes to escape the wrath to come. As you look over the field the whole sweep of racial movement seems to be gin the work of self-purification. Many of our leaders disregard fundamental principles and are as unjust to their own people, as are many of the white Negro-haters, whom they abuse and criticize. The Richmond Plonet is correct in its contention. Negroes must learn to be courageous to the point that they will frown on the public official who betrays their confidence. We call attention to a New Year's Greeting in another column from the pen of Prof. Kelly Miller. We urge that every one read this message, it is worth while. If old Santa Claus did not drown while on his, way back to toy land he must have worn a whole rubber suit, but the parents who met him are not grieving at all about his welfare. Shuster is coming home and Russia is seeing to it that he does not side track. The atmosphere is more congenial on this side of the creek. APTHOUS STOMATITIS. By Geo. R. White, M. D., D. V. S., State Live Stock Inspector Nashville, Tenn. Apthous Stomatitis, or "Sore Mouth and Feet" of cattle raisers of the concern to the cattle raisers of the Southern States in general and Tennessee in particular. Its ravages have been particularly prevalent and widespread during the past season. The direct losses by death have by no means been great. The indirect losses on account of loss of milk and flesh have amounted to thousands of dollars. From the number of telephone and telegraph messages and letters received, I would judge that the anxiety occasioned wherever this disease has appeared was great. Most stockmen and some few veterinarians were under the impression that an outbreak of the well-known "European Foot and Mouth Disease" had again made its appearance in America. retrograde. The race has been disfranchised and jim-rowed and segregated. Lynching and burning of Negroes amid horrors of indescribable atrocity, has become a fixed American institution. The Christian conscience has become sere, and only Christ in Heaven weeps. There is no other source of help but God and you. The white race through philanthropy has done much; but its vicious task was practically completed when it developed you. You must do the rest. Our gratitude can never repay the debt we owe. They spoke for us when our tongues were tied; they pleaded for us when we were speechless. But now our faculties are unloosed; we must stand on our own footing. The greatest gratitude that the beneficiary can show to the benefactor is, as soon as possible, to do without his benefaction. True, we are not yet able to cut loose wholly from the benevolent assistance; we still need some more earrings and finger-rings and other furnishings from the Egyptians, but the great outstanding fact remains, the task of race statesmanship and reclamation is not primarily the white man's burden, but yours. Upon you will depend its success or failure. As far as righteous insistence upon inalienable human rights will permit, live at peace and helpful co-operation with all men, North and South, East and West. But never under any inducements of cowardice or prudence or thrift, should you deviate from the straight line of righteousness, which alone points out the way and points the way out. Moral energy and race loyalty should be brought to bear upon your task whether you be engaged in the production of wealth or in the more condite pursuits, which administer to the higher needs of man. The white race is fast losing faith in the Negro as an efficient and acceptable factor in the equation of our civilization. Curtailment of political, civil and general privilege and opportunity is but the outward expression of this apostacy. As the white man's faith in you decreases, your faith in yourselves must increase. Every Negro in America should be taught daily, with his face turned toward the light, to utter this prayer: "Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief!" Through courage, expressed in the active as well as the passive voice, courage to do and courage to endure, you must assert and exert your manhood, that you will not only believe in yourselves, but the rest of the world will believe in you. Then, and not till then, all will be well. Such is the mark and the high calling to which you are called. May you rise to the level of it. The symptoms are similar in almost all material respects to those of "European Foot and Mouth Disease." Even a nexpert cannot distinguish between the two diseases by the symptoms presented or by physical examination. I diagnosed the disease by watching its development and J. FATHER PLUNKETT.

"GEORGE SHELTON, A STRONG TEAM. Messrs. W. C. Williams and Joseph Patterson have opened the "Little Savoy" at 426 Cedar street. The establishment is strictly first class in every detail. The opening Thursday night was featured by music and flowers, Messrs. Williams and Patterson extending the glad hand to their legion of friends. JOSEPH PATTERSON. Their dining-room, which will be dreams of loveiness, will be formally opened to the general public on the 10th of January. The cuisine will be excellent. Mr. Williams is an Eastern man, who understands business in every particular. He is at present headwaiter at the Hermitage Hotel. He is immensely popular with the travelling public; his highest ambition is to please his friends. Mr. Patterson, known to his myriad of friends as "Joe," needs no encomiums at our hands as he is known to be on W. C. WILLIAMS. to his job at all times. He has had fifteen years' experience in his particular line and has been crowned king of the mixologists. "The Little Savoy" is a gem. The best of order is preserved, the clientele is of the best. In visiting this place one is not subjected to petty annoyances. The motto of the Little Savoy is "Cleanliness and Promptness." nessee form an Executive Committee. The officers provided for in the constitution are a President, three vice presidents, a secretary and a treasurer. The body unanimously decided that the constitution should not be enforced until after the conclusion of the Tuesday meeting. After that was the election of officers. Prof. H. L. Keith arose and in very simple words nominated Dr. J. P. Crawford for President. Prof. Kelly, of Columbia, was also nominated. Dr. Crawford declined and offered Prof. J. B. Batte as the nominee for President. Prof. Keith very courteously withdrew the name of Dr. Crawford, who expressed himself as already well supplied with things to do. Prof. Keith then seconded Dr. Crawford's nomination of Prof Batte who was elected as the first President of the Association. The constitution provides that the President shall not be eligible to re-election. Prof. F. G. Carney, of Rutherford County, was elected first Vice President. Prof. J. D. Steele, of Williamson County, was elected second Vice President. The third Vice Presidency fell to Prof. A. Thos. Hill, of Giles County. Two names were offered for Secretary. They were Prof. W. F. Reynolds and Prof. H. L. Keith. The latter respectfully declined to accept any office, expressing a preference to work for the success of the organization without the handicap of official duties. The part Prof. Keith had taken in making the first meeting so successful was stressed by Dr. J. Ira Watson and others who felt that he should be honored but Prof. Keith was persistent and stuck to his purpose not to accept office, but to give his time and strength to assisting the other officers in putting the association on a substantial basis. Prof. W. F. Reynolds was elected Secretary. Dr. John I. Watson was elected Treasurer. The Davidson County teachers will be represented on the Executive Board by Miss Beulah McGavock and the Wilson County teachers by Miss Novella Davis. At the conclusion of the election of officers, Prof. Keith immediately made a motion to adjourn, and the body adjourned without delay. The meeting was notable for several things. A fine spirit of harmony and co-operation prevailed. There was an entire absence of political tricks. There were no combinations and there was no "ring." The teachers seemed to have a wholesome purpose to create an organization that will stand for good and that will be a power among the colored people of Middle Tennessee. A spirit of democracy has prevailed from the beginning of the movement and everything on Tuesday was done with absolute fairness, despatch and regularity. Everybody left satisfied and filled with a purpose to consecrate the very best of energy and strength to the elevation of the next generation of Tennessee's citizens. The most successful and influential educators in the State are behind the movement and they intend to make it a power for usfulness. WALDEN UNIVERSITY EMANCIPA TION EXERCISES.

The Mobile Advocate has the following to say of the wedding: "A very pretty wedding was solemnized Thursday night on Terrill street, when Miss Mattie Leah Singleton, one of the sweetest and most accomplished of Mobile's girls, was given in marriage by her mother, Mrs. Eliza Singleton, to Dr. Allen C. Nicholson. The home was beautifully decorated in colors of silver and white and ere the time piece proclaimed the hour of half past eight, Mrs. Vivian Packer touched the keys that sounded the march that brought the contracting parties face to face with the minister of God. "The maid of honor, Miss Wilma De Flanders, a cousin of the bride, entered alone and was charming in a dress of yellow messaline silk trimmed with cluny lace, carrying a beautiful bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. She was followed by the bride, who also was unattended. The bride was beautiful in her gown of white messaline satin trimmed with pearls, silver pasamentre and fringe. Her bridal veil was caught with orange blossoms. She carried a large and beautiful bouquet of bride's roses and ferns. Mrs. Singleton, mother of the bride, was attired in a black voile trimmed in black silk. Arriving beneath the arch that was entwined with fragment flowers, Dr. Nicholson met his bride and there they listened to the solemn and beautiful matrimonial ceremony of the great A. M. E. Church read by Rev. J. B. Carter, D. D., pastor of the Metropolitan Church. After the performance of the ceremony and the invocation of the sweet benediction of Jehovah, the united couple, to the strains of music, marched from beneath the flower-laden arch to be one forever in sentiment and in destiny. Dr. and Mrs. Nicholson were showered with the congratulations of friends who lingered until a late hour. Mrs. Nicholson is well-known in Mobile and is highly esteemed because of her many splendid traits of character. She was educated at the renowned Millers Ferry School and possesses rare talent along several lines. Dr. Nicholson is a Tennesseean by birth and is a graduate of the famous McHarry Medical College, of Nashville. Since removing to Mobile he has won his place in business and is now the proprietor of the Owl Drug Store on Davis avenue.

William Irwin, a white man, last Thursday was convicted of conspiracy in the same case, on the charge that he promised to pay Allen $2,000 for placing and exploding dynamite under the house in which the children met death. F. L. Martin and John Coombs, the latter a wealthy oil operator of Bartlesville, Okla., are also charged with conspiracy in the case, the alleged motive having been a desire to secure possession of oil land owned by the Sell children and valued at $25,000. Martin's trial is expected to begin Thursday, after which Coombs will be arraigned. CHRISTMAS INJURIES KEPT HOSPITAL BUSY.

(Jincorporated) JOHNSON WOULD FIGHT FLYNN FOR $30,000. Salt Lake City, Dec. 26.—Jack Curley, of Chicago, manager of Jim Flynn, the Pueblo heavyweight, announced to-day that he would guarantee Jack Johnson $20,000 for his share of the purse, win, lose or draw, for a finish fight with Flynn for the heavyweight championship of the world. Curley declared he would select Nevada as the battleground, as he insisted that the fight be to a finish, and he did not think it could be staged elsewhere. Chicago, Dec. 26.—Jack Johnson was positive in asserting that he would not fight Flynn for less than a $30,000 purse. "I am willing to fight Flynn anywhere in the world," he said, "but 'the purse must be $30,000... Quaker Fight "Fest." Philadelphia, Dec. 25.—Bobby Reynolds was shaded by the little brother of Philadelphia Jack O'Brien in the final bout at the American Athletic Club this afternoon. O'Brien coached the youngster from the ringside, and from the boxing angle gave on e of the prettiest exhibitions of fighting ever seen at the club. Joe Heffernan gave Honey Melody, the former Boston welterweight champion, a terrific cuffing in six rounds, staggering him three times. Tommy Coleman, the great colored lightweight, lambasted Young Griffo as he pleased, and Griffo was a lucky lad to go the limit. Coleman has challenged any man in the world, his opponent to weigh 140, while he does 133 ringside. COUNTY SCHOOL TEACHERS The program December 9th was a rare treat. The papers: Grammar, by Prof. Shelton; Geography, by Prof. Davis, were well disposed of. Arithmetic, Prof. Brown, was especially good. It was both instructive and suggestive. The music, topped off by a selection from Madame Tartt was fine. Madame Tartt, in "Suwanee River," made one feel as if they could sit for hours. The next meeting will be held Jan. 13, 1912. Special care has been given to the make up of the program and we hope for a good attendance of teachers, and any who feel an interest in school work will not count the time lost. Program.

Wingfield, of 1802 Patterson street, gave one of the most elaborate affairs in the form of a dinner ever given in this city. The occasion and the purpose for which it was served added even more to the beauty of the whole affair. For the past two years it has been the good fortune of these two people to prepare for the happiness of many of the aged widows of the city by giving an annual dinner just before Christmas, at which time a token in the form of a present is given to each one. The dinner of this year prepared for fourteen widows of ripe old age, some of whom were brought, as they could not come. There were many others present, whose purpose was to assist in making merry for the aged ladies. The widows present were Madams Vina Lewis, Mary F. Stevenson, Mary Ward, Jane Williams, Minerva Shield, Annie Tyler, Lucy Blackwell, Sarah Ulis, Rachel Williams, Laura Love, Amanda Roland, Lizzie Secres, Lou Crockett and Maria Teasley. "There were many others who served in every way to make the ladies happy. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Weatherby, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Fox, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Nixon, Mrs. W. W. Whittaker, Misses Ada Dickerson, Effie Ramsey, — Ward, Willie Mai Hendricks, Messrs H. H. Griffins, E. M. Williams, A. F. Williams and others. A splendid program was rendered thus ending an evening to be long remembered. UNION METOKA AND GALEDA MEETING AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH E. NASHVILLE CHURCH, E. NASHVILLE.
