NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING HOUSE Chapel Converted in to Dining Room TABLES SPREAD FROM END TO END LADEN WITH FAT TURKEYS, ROAST PIG, BOILED HAM, SALADS, HOT COFFEE, HOT CORN CAKE, CELERY, FRUITS, NUTS AND ICE CREAM IN ABUNDANCE—THE MEN HAD CIGARS AFTER DINNER—FEAST LASTED FOR HOURS—SONGS AND SPEECHES GALORE — DR. BOYD PRESENTED GOLD CUFF BUTTONS. Just as the mammoth publishing house at the corner of Second avenue North, and Locust street, with its thousands of busy wheels, sending out millions of pages of wholesome literature, and giving employment to scores of people, was born in the brain of that master mind, Rev. R. H. Boyd, just so he has by his many deeds of kindness, some of which border on to philanthropy, tied to him by the strongest chain of friendship and devotion every employee of the plant. A stranger going to the institution is reminded of one large well-regulated family where all goes well, no matter what the obstacles and difficulties are to be surmounted. The truth of this was fully demonstrated last Monday, New Year's day, when the fifteenth annual dinner was served to the employees of the National Baptist Publishing House. No event which takes place at the plant is looked forward to with more genuine pleasure by the force and their families than this New Year's dinner, when Dr. and Mrs. Boyd are host hostess, for he says at all times that his wife joins him in everything. True, there is the annual picnic, but it falls short when compared to the dinner. Nothing elaborate was attempted last Monday, but in every detail of the preparation the one thing uppermost and paramount was the happiness of every employee and their guests. The weather was in keeping with th event, crisp and cold, but clear sky, with sun enough to cheer. At the prayer services, 9:30 a. m., which is never overlooked, announcement was made that when the chapel bell was heard all should come to dinner, dine and take the remainder of the day off. All the turkeys, chickens, pork and ham had been cooked by one of the downtown restaurant. The bread corn and wheat, cakes, pies, candy, fruits, ice cream and black coffee, with tea for those who wanted it were abundantly supplied. The chapel where the dinner was served was converted into one big dining-room with tables enough for all. Festoonings, bunnings, Christmas bells, welcome signals and Christmas decorations were elaborately used. Committees of young ladies and men from various departments volunteered to help arrange the dining-room and set the tables. Finally, when the word was passed out that "Dinner is served," the big Baptist bell that calls all to work was rung and all quit work, and what joy came, for it was 2:30 p. m., and none had stopped for the noon hour, hence "All had an appetite to eat." Dr. Boyd asked Rev. S. E. J. Watson, D. D., of Hot Springs, Ark., to offer prayer, then the New Year's dinner began to disappear. More than 200 were present, which, of course, included some visitors, notable among whom were Rev. S. E. J. Watson, of Arkansas; Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, Rev. J. Davenport Bushell, Mrs. A. M. Kelly, of Columbia; Miss Saddler, of Oklahoma; Miss McDowell, of Savannah, Ga. Chairman Clark, who occupied a place at the head of the table, was voted to have the highest appetite. Editor J. D. Crenshaw was master of ceremonies and Mr. L. Landers was chief of the cheff force. A nice program had been prepared for the evening. Mr. John Kelley, of the composing room department, presented Dr. Boyd on behalf of the employees a pair of gold cuff buttons with his monogram, R. H. B., engraved on them. Another present was a gold watch NASHVILLE GLOBE DRIVERS MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION INSTALLATION The 21st installation of the officers of the Drivers Mutual Aid Association and the Ladies Auxiliary was held at St. John A. M. E. Church Monday night. A large number of members and friends of the association were present to witness the ceremony. Mr. H. T. Green, an ex-president of the order and one of the prime movers, acted as chairman of the meeting. He stated in the outset the object for which the organization was organized. He gave some very interesting history of its progress and the method of conducting its affairs. He stated that the association had in the bank between three and four thousand dollars, which was a fund designated for a special purpose, and intimated that in all probability it would be invested during the present year. The Ladies Auxiliary was organized as an adjunct to the association. It has not been in existence as long as the men's department, but is growing at a rapid rate and was reported to be in a prosperous condition. The association is of benevolent nature. It pays $3.00 a week sick dues for 26 weeks, then $1.50 per week for 26 weeks and thereafter $1.90 per week as long as a member is sick. At death they provide a $3.00 bill. They do not have an endowment department, but they have what is called an Advanced Assessment, in which each member pays when a death occurs, and the whole amount paid is given to the relatives of the deceased. Mr. Green handled the exercises as one well acquainted with the workings of the association. At the conclusion of his remarks, the newly elected officers were called to the front and seated in a circle around the rostrum of the church where each one was duly installed by Mr. Green, acting chairman. The officers elected are as follows: President, Wm. C. Foster; Vice-President, Isaac Body; Secretary, L. G. North; Treasurer, A. J. Frazier; Recorder, W. L. Douglass; Assistant Secretary, W. B. Martin; Chaplain, Thomas Waddy; Chief Marshal, Robert Fall; Sentinel, Moses Adams; Trustees, A. Womack, J. W. Scruggs, George Hicks, Adam Scales, Phillip Douglass. At the conclusion of the installation services Rev. S. L. Howard, pastor of the church, was called on and delivered a strong address. He cited the fact that the white societies of this city on Christmas give out one thousand baskets to the poor white people, and urged the members of the association to cultivate the same spirit, and said to them that if they will do likewise as the white societies have done, the membership in their organization will increase many fold. President Foster thanked the members of the association for the honor conferred upon him, and urged that they all work hard for the building up of the order during the ensuing year. He also referred to the agitation on the part of the members of the association to establish a home for the old members and orphans of deceased members. It is learned that it is the concensus of opinion among the members that it will be the wisest plan to buy a farm, and President Foster said he was in favor of that idea, as he felt that when old age came upon him, he would be delighted to go to the Drivers Mutual Aid Association's home and spend his last days there. The assembly was then instructed to retire to the spacious dining-room of the church where the ladies had laden the tables with the delicacies of the season. Every one present was urged to go down and partake of the supper. Very few, if any, refused to do so, and those who did not go were the losers, for the supper was one of the best ever spread at such a gathering. DR. BANKS PASSES AWAY. Special to the Globe Natchez, Miss., Dec. 30, 1911.—Dr. Jno. B. Banks died at his home today in this city. Dr. Banks had been successfully engaged in the practice of his profession since the time of his graduation, in 1885 at the Meharry Medical College at Nashville, Tenn., and had accumulated considerable property. His son, Dr. O. M. Banks, of the Medical Class of Meharry of 1907, was with him at the time of his death. chain given by the cabinet department to Mr. Chas. Watkins. One of the happiest persons on the place was Mrs. Ann Dickson, Dr. Boyd's mother, who is entering her ninety-first year. She is hale and hearty and looks to these occasions as do the others with much joy. She always makes a big speech and every body calls her Grandma. COUNCILMAN HARRIS RETURNS. Mr. S. P. Harris, Councilman from the Third Ward, returned home Thursday from Helena Ark, where he went to deliver the Emancipation address. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JANUARY 5, 1912 EMANCIPATION DAY CELEBRATED G. A. R. Holds Forth at Lea Avenue Christian Church. Walden, Roger Williams and Fisk Universities Have Splendid Programs. Young Men's Glee Club Address—Fifty Years of Freedom Rev. J. Davenport Bushell, D. D. Pastor First Baptist Church, East Nashville. "Juanita"—Parks ... Young Men's Glee Club EMANCIPATION DAY AT FISK UNIVERSITY. The Negro and American Citizenship—Its Cost and Worth, is the subject of an address delivered at Fisk University on Emancipation Day, Dr. W. S. Ellington said in part: There was a time in the history of the American people when no man was allowed to vote except he was a member of the church. After at little a person was allowed to vote if he did not belong to the church, if he were a white man and owned property to a certain amount. Finally the property qualification disappeared before the democratic wave which washed it all away. After this, in the fullness of time, the Negro was permitted to exercise his franchise. This we must admit was the boldest thing one race ever did for another. In all the history of popular franchise, no race except the American people ever took from the plantation a million men who could not even read the spelling-book, to say nothing about the Constitution, and permit them to vote with the hope that experience and responsibility would render them fit to exercise this right. What was the result of this venture? History declares that when the black man went to the polls, although much disturbance occurred, still he proved himself worthy of the trust confided to him. He made some blunders, of course he did. But let the race that has not made a blunder cast the first stone. When you remember that the Negro laid aside the shackles of slavery, as it were, with one hand and took up the ballot with the other, the wonder is that he has made so few mistakes; that he voted so patriotically and so wisely. As colored American citizens we stand to-day before the bar of common justice pleading for the restoration of our ballot, for the repeal of the "Grandfather's Clause" recently added to the constitutions of several of the Southern states. The Negro has never betrayed a trust. He believes in a square deal. He asks for a man's chance—only that and nothing more. As a race we have never produced at Benedict Arnold, nor a John Wilkes Booth. We have fought for the honor of the flag and the preservation of the Union whenever our country has needed our service. The Negro's record as a soldier ought not only to appeal to his pride, but it ought to plead eloquently for him until all of those rights and privileges are granted him that are vouchsafed to his brother in white. It was Charles Summer who said: "All distinguished generals of modern times who have had opportunity to use Negro soldiers have uniformly aplaud- ed their subordination, bravery and power of endurance." Washington, the Father of his Country, solicited the military services of Negroes in the Revolutionary War . Jackson did the same in the war of 1812. Under both these great captains the Negro troops fought so well that they received unstinted praise. But it was in the Civil War, the War of the Rebellion, that the Negro soldiers fought so nobly that they immortalized their names. The records of the War Department show that there were 178,595 colored men regularly enlisted as soldiers in the Union army during the rebellion. From the beginning there was great opposition to enlisting the Negro in the army. The New York Times of February 16, 1863, said editorially: "The objections to enlisting the Negroes are as follows: First, that the Negroes will not fight. Second, it is said that the whites will not fight with them. Third, that the prejudice against them is so strong that our citizens will not enlist or will quit the service if compelled to fight by their side, and thus we will lose two white soldiers for one black." To General David Hunter is given the honor of organizing the first Southern colored regiment. He was in sore need of men. He could not get white recruits; he was forced to organize a colored regiment. The experiment was a complete and marvelous success. The Negro soldiers fought bravely. General Hunter testified t. their worth in the following words: "They are sober, docile, attentive and enthusiastic, displaying great natural capacities for acquiring the duties of the soldier." The fifty-fourth Massachusetts, commanded by Colonel Shaw, was the first colored regiment organized in the free states. They fought like heroes at Fort Wagner. Having marched for a night and day, through swamps and drenching rains, hungry and almost exhausted, they reached General Strong's headquarters on that memorable morning just as the enemy was forming in line of battle. This was a most desperate and gallant fight. As the colored soldiers ascended the wall of the fort their ranks were full, but as soon as they reached the top, they melted away before the enemy's fire. The color bearer, John Wall, was killed. Another colored man, William H. Carney, caught the falling flag, and pressing forward over the dead and dying to the front rank near Colonel Shaw, kept the colors flying. Having received two very severe wounds, one in the thigh and one in the head, he fell, but held to the flag. When his regiment retired, he followed, creeping upon one knee. As he entered the field hospital where his wounded comrades were being brought in, they cheered him and saluted the flag. Though nearly exhausted from the loss of blood, he said, "Boys, the old flag never touched the ground." Shall a race that has poured out its life's blood like water on every battle field where America's interest were in danger, remain forever the victims of race prejudice? Shall our property remain forever subject to the whims and avarice of the midnight assassin? For nearly fifty years we have implored those who make and enforce the laws to give us justice, and a fair chance in the race of life, but with what success; Let the recent outrages perpetrated upon our people both at the North and in the South answer. My friends, the ballot is the uniform weapon with which free men protect themselves. This we must have and exercise before it will be possible for us to enjoy our rights as American citizens. A higher type of intelligence and moral worth is the crying need of the masses of our people. The intelligent whites will never suffer the ignorant and vicious members of our race to act as their political intelligence is power, ignorance is weakness; wherever the two come to gether, intelligence must rule. The missionary schools fostered by our white friends at the North and the system of public instruction supported by popular taxation here in the South have done and are still doing much to solve the problem of Negro citizenship. I fear that the majority of our young people are leaving school too (Continued on Page 8) SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS WILL MEET IN NASHVILLE. The fourth biennial session of the Southern Union Mission of the Seventh Day Adventists will convene in this city on the 18th inst. The meeting will represent nearly every Southern State, and will bring together between five and six hundred delegates, colored and white. The colored meeting will be held at their church on inter Winter street, East Nashville. The Mission will continue ten days, and promises to be both interesting and beneficial. Some of the strongest men of the South will be in attendance at this meeting, and topics pertaining to the church work of missions in particular will be ably discussed. A special feature of the Conference will be the services at night when music of a high order will be rendered and Nashwill will be treated to the effectiveness and influence of congregational singing in churches. Each night some one of the leading pastors will discuss some special topic explaining the doctrine of the Adventist church. The public is especially invited by the local Adventists to attend these meetings and to learn the exact position of the Adventists on special Bible subjects. The election and appointing of officers also promises to be an interesting part of the meeting. Pastor C. F. McVay, of Pennsylvania, is at present the president of the Southern Mission. He will reach the city about the 10th of this month to arrange the details for the general meeting. It could not be learned whether Pastor McVay will have any opposition for re-election or not, but it is presumed he will, as is the case always on such an occasion. He is a very popular man, and it is thought that the delegates will come with their minds made up to retain him in his present position. The Seven Day Adventists have made great strides in Nashville since they first opened a little printing house on Jefferson street. In the outset they they attempted to give colored printers employment in their publishing house. Unfortunately they got their hands on the wrong people in the start, and after several attempts they gave up in despair, and now they employ all white printers and book-binders in their mammoth publishing house, which is located north of the city in what is known as Terrytown. But, however, they have always shown a friendly attitude toward the colored people and take a deep interest in their welfare. The Rock City Sanitarium which has been in operation in East Nashville for several years, is an evidence of their interest in colored people. They also take an active part in the establishment and maintenance of churches for their colored brethren. This meeting will it is believed firmly establish the Adventists in this city and in the surrounding countries. MR. RICHARD HARRIS, SR., DEAD. MR. RICHARD HARRIS, SR., DEAD. After an illness of long duration, Mr. Richard Harris, Sr., one of the oldest citizens of Nashville, died at his residence, 1017 Seventeenth avenue, North, Thursday morning at half-past five o'clock. Mr. Harris was one of the pioneer business men of the race in the city of Nashville. He was the senior member of the well-known furniture firm of Harris & Barbour, which afterwards changed to Harris & Son, which was a successful business, and only the failing health of the senior member caused its suspension. Mr. Harris was the first Negro trustee of Fisk University, a position which he filled with credit to the race. At the time of his death he was 81 years and 3 days of age. Up to noon Thursday no announcements had been made concerning the funeral, which will likely take place at the church of which the deceased was a member. Telegrams were sent to the children, who are living in the various states. Mr. Eugene Harris is in Walla Walla, Wash., one of the daughters in Chicago, one in Little Rock, one in Cleveland and one in Alabama, while one of the sons, Richard Harris, Jr., one daughter and the bereaved wife are in this city. TO VISIT TENNESSEE'S CAPITAL One of the distinguished quill pushers and newspaper correspondents who has promised to don war paint, place feathers in his hat, grab his tomahawk and do the Indian war dance and challenge the natives in the entire state of Tennessee in February is Mr. Carey B. Lewis, who is the moving spirit of the Illinois Chronicle. It will be remembered that it was Mr. Carey Lewis who made the welkin ring when he had headquarters at Louisville as a newspaper writer and correspondent. The news of this contemplated visit to Nashville has been confirmed further by Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, who is in constant correspondence with Mr. Lewis, but no one is willing to guess at his mission to this city. It may be that he is coming to help link together the chain of Negro opera houses from Chicago to New Orleans, as he is one of the best posted theatrical critics and writers in this country, being as much at home in New York City as in Little Rock. Carey Lewis was at one time on the inside of the Gibbs-Cates combination which had its birth in the state of Arkansas and was also allied with the Nose alsa Guide. That he is coming to Nashville in February is not coincide in any quarters. LADIES AUXILIARY TO MEET. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Colored State Fair Association will have the monthly meeting the second Wednesday in January. They request all members to be present. Mrs. N. H Plus is president ant Mrs. Josie Britt is secretary of the ladies' department Plain Facts Stated in a Plain Way DR. RILEY DOES NOT DISCUSS RACE PROBLEMS — MAKES A STRONG PLEA FOR HUMANITY —GAVE UP GOOD POSITION TO BEGIN THIS WORK—NOT A PEACE DISTURBER —WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE ANY MORE FRICTION BETWEEN RACES, BUT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. Last Sunday afternoon and evening Nashville Negroes had an opportunity to listen to two addresses by that famous author, lecturer and scholarly statesman, Dr. R. F. Riley, of Birmingham Ala. The lectures were held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church and St. John A. M. E. Church. Several of the leading white men of the city city were present and expressed their highest approval of the views expressed by the speaker, words which are most strikingly characteristic of the man. He said in part: On Monday Dr. Riley visited the Ministers' Conference and made a short talk to the members of that body. He left Monday night for his home in Birmingham Ala. "I am particularly gratified that the distance which lies between the stormy days of the past and the present is so great that I can come here and be with you on this occasion and under these particular conditions. For sixty-five years the Negro has been in the eyes of the American public and I am here today to speak not for the purpose of arousing any feeling, (for I don't want that), not for the purpose of creating agitation, not to pander to the feelings of either race for applause, but it is absolutely necessary that things be said frank and I am going to speak in just that way. I am not coming in a bullying way, I am not coming with a chip on my shoulder, I am not coming to get you to applaud me. I am here with a message in my heart and for three years I have been devoting my time to the study and investigation of this great question that relates to the two races living in the South. When in Texas, the thought came to me as to what could be done. The question was what could be done in order that the situation might be helped? I gave up my situation and entered the work with a blind faith. I believed that there was work to be done, and that could be done only by a Southern white man. I knew that one of your race could not do it. Then I knew that no other but a Southern White man would be eager to grapple with the situation, say the things necessary to say, not in a hostile way, take all the varnish off, and talk the things right out as facts are. "I have gone throughout the South and I find that there are two classes of whites as well as two classes of blacks, and all over the country among the best classes of white there is a strong sentiment favorable to your people. The time has come to not only say but do. All over the country men are speaking for you, in every possible way at every opportunity. Yet signs unfavorable. One of the great difficulties encountered is the impression made concerning you through the press saying the Negro is a grisral, low down brute, murderer. This impression has gone North. the other side were presented, if other facts were exploited, if they were weighed one against the other they would come to different consuls. Seldom does the press mental the news of the great progress that is being made by the Negroes. If the Negro has done so much in half a century in the midst of disadvantages, what can he accomplish if these disadvantages are remove? It was predicted that the Negro would go back to worshiping cats, snails, gophers, etc.; he decided not to go that way. He had to make the opportunity, contending for every inch of ground. What have you accomplished? He owns 300,000 plantations, has paid for 400,000 homes, has built 2800 plantations owning 75 banks, making a great success of it, and paying taxes on six hundred million dollars worth of property. "What the Negro needs is to bet his condition, to have an equal portunity with other men. He serves it. There is accorded Dago, the Greek and other who not accorded to the Negro. "So many people say there is danger of social equality. Ask what social equality is. The class white people of this country have no such fear as that. They are not afraid of being hurt by the gro. You cannot get a first- white man to feel that way, but is another class. Out of Town Notes. ALLENS CREEK NOTES. The people of this town seemed to have enjoyed the holidays, regardless to the rain.

The new minister of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, the Rev. J. W. Sexton, is making himself felt in the hearts of his people. He promises to be a regular reader of the Globe in the near future. Rev. J. Davenport Pushell, D. D., preached a 'Christmas sermon at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church Sunday at 3:30 p. This struggling congregation was greatly encouraged from the sermon and under the leadership of their untiring shepherd, Rev. D. J. Tate, they opened a campaign for a $200 rally to take place the third Sunday in January, 1912. The Baptist church property at this place, by reason of bad management, is about to be lost, but since the Baptist State Convention, represented by Dr. C. H. Clark, Dr. Wm. Haynes and Rev. E. M. Lawrence, superintendent of missions, coupled with the of this city and the state in general, it seems that there is hope for the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, better known as Summer Street Baptist Church, to regain its prestige and unfurl its huge old english as a mighty agent of light in South Nashville. Rev. E. H. Smith B. D., and wife, of Cleveland, Ohio, formerly of this city, are pleasant visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Wm Reed, the parents of Mrs. Smith Madam Tartt took part in the services at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church Sunday, also Mrs. Bushell.

Notwithstanding the rainy weather during the Christmas week, the plans for the festivities at the C. M. E. Church were carried out. They were not as successful as hoped for by the authorities, but taking all things into consideration, your reporter thinks they did fairly well. On Monday night the annual church supper took place. On Tuesday night the young converts' banquet was pulled off. The principle speakers were Mr. Leon C. Bibb and Mr. Chas. W. Bibb, both of Walden University, Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Leon C. Bibb made a strong talk to the young converts on "The Necessity of Christianity." Mr. Charles W. Bibb delivered a strong and well-prepared speech on "The Progress of the Negro." His speech was forceful and instructive. He brought out some strong points in support of his subject, which will be long remembered here for good. Miss Adela C. Smith, of 1405 Jackson street, Nashville, Tenn., the daughter of Rev. W. Conway Smith, who was spending the Christmas va- cation from her school here, sang a beautiful solo. Her song charmed the audience. Miss Smith left for Nashville Monday night, after spending a very delightful Christmas with her parents at Alenville, taking home with her Master Theodore R. Williams, the little grandson of Dr. Smith, who had spent six weeks with his grandparents here. Thursday night the young people banquet was repeated. The Christmas exercises were carried out at Almstead, December 27th. Total raised during the exercises was $136.88. It is said by the elder members that the watch-meeting held at Almstead was the most impressive held in the history of the church. Dr. Smith, the pastor of Alenville and Almstead C. M. E. Churches, is wide awake to all the interest of the church departments. The people of these churches need to be complained on the need to such a man for their pastor. Plans are now on foot for the mid-winter rally to come off the fourth week in February. Miss Dovie L. Smith spent three days in Likton, Ky., during the Christmas. Messrs. L. C. and C. W.

TO THE PUBLIC, erroneous reflections upon the character, ag or reputation of any person, firm or cor- nation, of any person, columnar of the VILLE GLOBE will be gladly corrected upon brought to the attention of the manage- and correspondence for publication so as to the office Monday. No matter intended for current issue which arrives as late as Thur- day can appear in that number, as Thursday is all. All news sent us for publication must be written only on one side of the paper, and should be accompanied by the name of the contributor, not necessarily for publication, but as evidence of good faith. FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1912. The Globe Enlarged. Beginning with this issue of the Globe the management has decided to venture one step further on the journalistic sea. For six years it has been a five-column, eight-page paper. Though small the Globe has never, in a single instance, contained as much as one inch of patent matter. Our friends have often referred to the Globe as a "good little paper," and some have chosen to refer to it as "that damn little old Globe," but we have gone on in the even tenor of our way, doing the best we could to give to our readers each week in the year a clean newspaper filled up with live, newsy matter. We have endeavored to be faithful and conscientious servants. Since the first issue of this journal was presented to the public, two of the original organizers have fallen asleep. We refer to the late J. O. Battle, who was the first editor and president of the Globe, and to the late Chas. H. Burill, who was the first secretary and general advisor. When these comrades had passed away, only two were left, and it appeared for a while that it would be impossible for them to continue the publication under existing conditions; but they felt that it would be unfair to the people, who have so loyally supported the Globe since its beginning, to lay down the work, consequently new energy was injected into the project and a decision reached to continue in the field. Beginning with 1912 the globe will be bigger and better, but as cheap as heretofore. We are still the servants of the people, and are ready and willing to fight their cause at all times. We have no higher ambition than to fight for what is right and just. We have no favorites defend, neither have we any memes to fight. It is a matter of justice, pure and simple, and we feel that the truth should be told regardless of who it hurts. As long as we are telling the truth, we know the people will be on our side. We know there are many uncertainties in the newspaper business; on the other hand, we also know that the people will appreciate whatever is done for them; with that assurance we have ventured to increase our expenses and obligations that the people of Nashville and Tennessee may be benefited thereby. We most heartily thank every one for the support given in the past, for without your aid we could not have succeeded, and we take this step with a hope to broaden our scope of influence and usefulness. We most earnestly solicit a continuance of your patronage, your influence and your sympathy. We have made mistakes it is true, had we not, you would not consider us the like of other human beings that inhabit this world, but we wish to assure one and all that our mistakes have been of the head and not of the heart. We shall endeavor in the future as we have in the past to be fair towards all and to show special favors to none. With this as our motto, we present you this week a six-column, eight-page paper at the same price we have given you a five-column paper. After you shall have read this copy hand it to a friend who is not a reader of the Globe, and thereby aid us in putting into every home the best Negro newspaper in the state. Emancipation Day was celebrated generally in this city Monday. We like ours cold while others like it hot. Taft and Wilson seem to be in the lead so far in the presidential race in their respective parties. What the finish will be nobody can tell. Dr. Riley. The first of this week, Sunday and Monday to be more specific, the Negroes of this city had an opportunity to meet Dr. B. F. Riley, of Birmingham, Ala., face to face. Dr. Riley is the author of a book entitled "The White Man's Burden." He is ex-president of one of the leading white universities in the South, and three years ago he resigned the pastorate of a church that was paying him $3,600 a year. He stated at the time of his resignation that he had decided to take up the cause of an oppressed people, namely, the American Negroes. He made his plans known to both white and black, and without any aid from any source whatever, he set about to write a book and publish the same. When a man attempts any reform, he is at first considered a crank or a man who intends to defraud the people. It makes no difference what the man's reputation may be, the first impressions in these cases are always the same. But Dr. Riley paid no attention to these things, for he knew in the outset that he would be criticized, and that it was up to him to prove to the world his sincerity, and now his book is out of press, several thousand copies have been sold, and the author is going from state to state and from community to community meeting the people and discussing with them in an impassionate way the mission of his coming. At first sight Dr. Riley impresses one favorably. He has no airs and styles himself a plain, common Irishman, born in the black belt of Alabama of slave-owning parents, and choosing himself to eat his meals from the tray with a dozen or more slave Negro children raiser than at his mama's table. In an address Sunday to a large audience in this city, he related an experience that he had when a child. He said after his father had told him one day that he was the smartest of several boys, in pondering over the praise shortly thereafter, the condition of his playmates came to him, and he discussed in his mind what their fate would be when they had reached maturity. He could see nothing but that B. F. Riley as a man would be living in pomp and splendor, wearing the honors of his state and country, and those little black boys and girls with whom he had played in childhood, he could picture nothing for them except hard toll day in and day out. To use his own words, he could see only for them that they would get up in the morning, harness their mules, go to the field and plough all day, return to the house at night, put up their stock and feed them and then cook their supper, and after they had eaten, go to bed, sleep till morning, get up and return to the field. This they would do from day to day. Continuing he said, I decided then that human slavery was wrong, and I am of the same opinion to-day. To listen to his story, and to look into the face of the man, would impress the most skeptical that Dr. B. F. Riley is in earnest, and that his motives are pure. As was said by the speaker in his addresses in this city last Sunday, the duty of changing the sentiment in this country from an unjust to a just attitude toward the Negro is a tremendous task; but there are thousands of men in the white race born and reared in the South who believe that every man, regardless of race or color, should receive justice. True they have been backward in expressing what they believe, but Dr. Riley is daring to do so, and as he goes from place to place fearlessly but modestly and earnestly stating his position on this question, he is making friends, and he is forcing scores of white men, old and young, to speak out on this question and to declare that they have always held to the opinion as expressed by Dr. Riley, and as men begin to speak out as Dr. Riley is doing for plain and simple justice to the Negro in the South, and in fact in all parts of this country, sentiment will change in his favor, and those in authority will come to realize that fact that it is to the best interest of all that every man be given an equal chance to life, whether that man be black white, yellow or red. Nashville manufacturers are making a determined fight to have shipping rates on coal reduced. If the price to the consumer will be changed downward we say fight on. New Year Opportunities We are passing into the new year, and as the old year with its successes and failures passes out of our memory and we set our faces on the possibilities of the future, it is well to stop long enough to consider what it is possible to do in 1912 for the best interest of all the people. One thing that would be of great benefit to the Negroes of Nashville and Tennessee would be to get together in business, in public movements for the general uplift of the people and in whatever other way deemed advisable for the general good. Conditions in Nashville and Tennessee are in excellent shape. Those men who will work, have an opportunity to make some kind of a living. All are not favored with good jobs, all never will be; but every man can find some kind of a job out of which he can at least earn enough money to buy something to eat, a few clothes to wear and a little coal to make fires. JOHNSON—LEWIS. One of the most attractive weddings of the season was that of Miss Gertrude Sadie Lewis, of Nashville, the sweet soprano of Walden University, and Prof. Hugh Julius Johnson, of Kentucky, Professor of Science at Negroes are poor of course, but there are some things they must do for themselves. It is not expected that their efforts will amount to as much as efforts put forth with the same energy by people who have more means, but the earnestness can be as vigorous as that put forth by any body, and the recipients of what ever is done will be just as appreciative as these people who receive benefactions at the hands of the well-to-do. But little will be accomplished unless there is united effort. There is need for a rescue home for the fallen. We will never have one however, so long as a half dozen persons start such an institution at the same time, but the Negroes of Nashville are able to support one rescue home, and the preservation of society demands that such be done. There is soon to be erected a Boys Reformatory for white and black. This will be a public institution. The Negroes should feel it their duty, however, to at least show an interest in that portion of the institution that is to be erected for the retention of black wayward boys. Many other things are on the platter for the Negro if he will only get himself in shape to receive them. So long as there continues a bickering and jealousy, so long will those things that might be secured and utilized for the good of all the people, go astray or to the benefit of other people. One of the greatest opportunities the new year offers is an opportunity for an improvement along this line, and the longer this step is put off the farther will we be from a solution of the many perplexing difficulties that confront us. As the days go fleeting by the paths of of the African Methodist brethren who are going up from Nashville to Kansas City to ask for another term become more thickly strewn with (?). The Globe votes for Bryant, Caldwell and Lewis to be returned and Roman and Jones to be ushered in. Our vote looks to be a winner at this stage of the game plus the Bryant consolidation proposition. Jack Johnson refuses to fight for less than $30,000. There are thousands of men who would fight a whole year for less than half that amount. Uncle Sam is having a fierce tussle with the White Bear. If it terminates in a dog fall nobody need be surprised. OUR ENLARGED QUARTERS.

St. Paul A. M. E. Church was the scene of great activity Thursday, December 30th. Before the hour of 2 p. m. many were on hand with empty baskets and anxious faces to receive Christmas cheer and sunshine from the Phyllis Wheatley Club. The club ladies worked hard and earnest to have something substantial and helpful for each one. Sixty well-fitted baskets of groceries, dainties, etc., were given out from the church that afternoon. Since then enough more has been distributed to reach seventy-five. Some of the baskets went to families of five and six children. We can ea.ly estimate that more than 125 or 150 persons including children have been reached through this movement on the part of the club. Beside the baskets of food, clothing, shoes, toys, candies and coal were given out. One old lady leaning on her cane said when her basket was given her, "Thank God for this basket of food. May God bless every soul who helped." The club thanks the pastor and official cabinet of St. Paul for the use of the church for this distribution. We are grateful to all who aided us in any way to make this distribution such a great success. Miladi's Note Book. JOHNSON—LEWIS.

Many of the Negro banks throughout the United States have sent out calendars as New Year's greetings. Several have reached Nashville. A beautiful and well arranged calendar came from the Delta Penny Savings Bank, of Indianola, Miss., capital stock of $35,000. The calendar is a picture of the interior of the bank, showing the splendid banking facilities of the Delta Penny Savings Bank. The officers who guided the institution during the past year are W. A. Aderway, president; W. W. S. stevens, vice president; W. W. Cox, Casher, and W. B. Burnett, assistant cashier. The Union Savings Bank, of Vicksburg, Miss., sent out one of the most beautiful calendars seen this year. The calendar is a re-production from the famous oil painting "Down Upon the Sawanee River." Accompanying this calendar was a short sketch with the first stanza of the song by Edwin Lamasure. Nashville people are particularly interested, not only in this calendar, but the bank, because the cashier hails from Tennessee's capital. The bank has a capital stock of $25,000. The officers are J. G. H. Bowman, president; A. M. Johnson, first vice president; Thomas Dillon, second vice president; T. G. Ewing, Jr.; cashier, and G. M. McIntyre, assistant cashier. Noticeable among the many unique New Year's greetings, was a splendid arrangement of scenery in the way of a calendar sent out by the Bank of Mound Bayou, at Mound Bayou, Miss. The town itself has forged to the front because of its distinctiveness as a Negro municipality. The greetings from this bank show three different stages as an argument for saving. In the upper picture fire is destroying the home but the bank book is saved; in the next burglaries are ransacking the house, but they find only the bank book, while in the last illustration the scene outside is dreary and cold and bleak, but on the inside is comfort and happiness, because of the bank savings. This bank has a capital stock of $25,000. --- W. B. KAUFMAN DEALER IN GENUINE PINE KNOT JELLICO AND FOX RIDGE COAL Tel Main 4564 616 Fourth Avenue, North.

MEHARRY JUNIORS WIN On New Year's day the attention of the sport-loving public of South Nashville was directed to Walden Campus where a very keenly contested football game took place, between teams made up from the Junior and Sophomore classes of Meharry. Much interest was centered in the game, for the teams were very evenly matched, and when the Sophomores, who won the toss, kicked off at 3 p. m. the crowds began to enjoy a deal of fun. No score was made by either side until late in the last quarter, when A. P. Davis, Junior's right-end, secured the oval and safely reached goal. Fullback Hurt then kicked goal, and the Juniors had a score of 6 to their credit. The Sophomores were not very sorrowful over their defeat for their efforts were commendable, and on the whole, they gave a splendid exhibition of the game. PROF. JOHNSON. OF WILBER- FORCE OHIO IN THE CITY. FORCE, OHIO, IN THE CITY. At St. John A. M. E. Church, Wednesday Prof. Chas. H. Johnson, professor in Wilberforce University, met the pastors of the African Methodist churches and a fair representation of laymen in the interest of the Laymen's Missionary Movement of the African Methodist Church. This movement is not new, having been organized in 1906 in New York City at the centennial commemoration of the "Haystack Prayer Meeting" that was held by five students of Williams College, Williamstown, Mass., in the year 1806. The laymen's movement has grown rapidly. Most all denominations have this feature attached to their church work. Prof. Johnson represents the A. M. E. Church and will hold a meeting together with Dr. L. G. Jordan, Secretary of Foreign Missions, National Baptist Convention. Prof. Walter S. Buchanan, President Normal A. & M. College, Normal, Ala.; Prof. J. M. Codwell, of Texas, editor of the Western Star and Secretary of Educational Association, and others representing other denominations. DEATHS DR. RILEY IN NASHVILLE. (Continued from Page 1) given justice, plain old-fashioned justice. I do not restrict it to the court, where you have no redress at al; whatever derisions are made in the court, (you may be as innocent as can be) you will have to go on to the chain gang. "It is the patriotic duty of every white man to do whatever can be done to relieve the people of conditions. The general argument is "He's nothing but a nigger any how" and "It is not conducive to the well being of the white people." There is a great deal of talk in regard to what the Negro is doing. I must say he is moving right straight up the line. "The Negroes themselves do not believe in social equality among themselves. They are very sensitive about it and would not thrust themselves upon any other people. "Discussing the question of humanity, the Negro is a man. 'God is no respecter of persons has appeared nine times in the Bible. A soul is a soul whether wrapped up in white or black skin. People have asked 'How can you afford to work for the Negro?' I can afford to work for him, if Christ can afford to die for him. He has written 5,000 books since his freedom. There is a movement upward. Yet he is not being allowed the full capability of his being. Jesus Christ died for his people. We are concerned about missionaries to Africa. Why not take up the question of Africa at our door?" "There are two things to which your people must stick. You must buy every inch of land you can. Stick to the soil. People without land can never be independent people. You people must stick to God. Every one can force people to respect you. That is going to help wonderfully in every effort to be made, and by that means these difficulties will finally be removed. "It has been a great pleasure to say these words of encouragement to you for myself and thousands of others whom I represent, and we are going to do everything that can be done, we are going to mould sentiment, and will greatly assist you. It can not be done in a day. We need your co-operation, by you making yourselves as worthy as possible, whether you are a washerwoman, cooks, ladies of leisure or what not, contributes to this cause. I have the ery greatest respect for the man or woman who assists in that way in making up these conditions of respectfulness. "What we need is the better element of both races to get together, eye to eye, face to face. I do not know what the Negro would do if he had fair chances. He simply needs to get a footing. The Negro is worthy of encouragement in every way possible, especially on the part of those in position to give encouragement.

DANLEY, P. A., Umbro REAL EMANCIPATION. The Lincoln Post, G. A. R., Company G. and the Ladies' Relief Corps celebrated emancipation day at Lea Avene Christian Church. Addresses were made by Rev. Preston Taylor, Rev. Spencer Jackson and Dr. J. Q. Johnson. Dr. Johnson took for his theme "Real Emancipation," and among many other things said: "The black man is the only member of the dark-skinned races who has been able to live by the side of the white man and increase in number. In the last decade the Negroes have increased 11.3 per cent, though it is not as large as in the previous decade, when it was 18 per cent, though the latter is not reliable. In the last ten years the whites have increased 22 per cent, but this is not a discouraging view for the Negro. An increase of 11 per cent is a normal increase. The recent census of England showed an increase of 12 per cent, so the Negro shows about the same increase as the English. In the last ten years the Negro farmers increased 19 per cent, but the white farmers only 9 per cent. In Georgia there were almost twice as many Negro farmers in 1910 as there were in 1900. During the last ten years the colored people of Virginia have ought 4,000 agricultural farms; Alabama and Arkansas 16,000 each; Mississippi 339,000 and in Georgia 50,000 additional farms. Negroes are about 10 per cent. of the population of the country, but only about 2 per cent of the money spent on education has been spent on him. At the end of the war only 3 per cent of the Negroes could read and write. Now 57 per cent of them can read and write. There are many white men in the South who are determined that the Negro shall succeed. There are two Negro banks in our city, and 57 Negro banks in the South, which receive the friendly co-operation of the white bankers of the South. All of this is prophetic of great things for the future. CUNNINGHAM NOTES. The Xmas entertainment given by the members of Surp spring A. M. E. Church was quite a success. Rev. H. R.

We have known the Mayor more than 30 years and have never heard of a harmful word said of him. If he has an enemy in the town or country we have never heard of it. The people of Pulaski elected and elected him Mayor as long as he would allow them to use his name. He recently declined to run again on account of his health. The people of Savannah have in their midst a citizen southern born and raised but he is a true friend to any man who deserves it, regardless to the color of his skin or his previous condition. He is a strong believer in practicing the Golden Rule. He is a man of considerable means, he is always willing to share with the NASHVILLE CLOSE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1912. needy.

"Twas a festal day at Meharry Auditorium Monday morning, 1st inst., when we met with the central departments of Walden University, and a large and representative gathering of Nashville's citizens assembled at that great edifice to share in the celebration of the 49th anniversary of the emancipation. Every seat in the building was occupied, chairs were placed along the aisles for the accommodation of many and still many were compelled to stand. On the platform there were noticed Dr. J. A. Kumler, president of the University, Dr. G. W. Hubbard, Dean of Meharry, Drs. W. E. Gray and T. H. Elliott, and other members of the faculty. The function was presided over by Mr. S. W. Macklin, of the College Department, and the invocation was said by President Kumler. The University Orchestra was in attendance, and, under the direction of Miss M. E. Braden, rendered some very rare and splendid pieces. The Glee Clubs of the University and the Meharry Quartette sang to the great delight of the audience, and drew forth much applause. In this section special mention must be made of Mr. L. Napler Bass, of Meharry, who, in "Toreador's Love Song," gave immense pleasure to the audience, and won much praise. But the special feature of the day and that which kept the audience a-thinking was the speech-making by students of the several departments of the University: Mr. S. L. Brown represented the Medical Department, and in a very neat and brilliant speech treated on "The Negro —America's Greatest Problem." Mr. J. D. Wright, of the Pharmaceutica Department took as his subject "The Historic Negro," and made a very excellent oration. Mr. J. W. Bluford of the Dental School was heard to advantage on "Before and After." His manner was impressive and his gesticulations accurate. Mr. J. D. Howell of the College Preparatory Department on "The Coming Race" claimed the attention of the audience for several minutes, and received much applause. The last oration was by Miss Mary E. Hall of the College of Liberal Arts, who took as her subject "The Negro's America." rier graceful manner, her tuneful and resonant voice, and her careful accent were special features of the oration, and when, at last, it was at an end the audience was sorry thee was no repetition. 1.

Bowling Green, Ky., Dec. 31.—After a short illness which at times was not considered serious, Miss Emma Mitchell, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Robert Mitchell, of this city, died this morning. Miss Mitchell was one of the most prominent young women in the state of Kentucky, having been born in Bowling Green. She had won her way in the hearts of the people, having been a teacher in the city schools and a conscientious worker in the church. Her father, Rev. Mitchell, D. D., is pastor of the State St. Baptist Church, which has the largest and one of the most influential congregations in this part of the state. He is also president of the General Association of Kentucky and auditor of the National Baptist Convention. Baptist \The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 and was attended by a number of the leding Baptists from the state who took part in the exercises. ENTERTAINED Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey Bowling gave a dinner Christmas night to a limited number of young people, in honor of his niece, Miss Georgia Nevils, of Memphis, Tenn.

Nashville's First Distinctive Negro Playhouse Makes A Splendid Showing. With what reserve forces there were pep up with expectation boiling over with enthusiasm, was turned loose in full Christmas day by lovers of the theater and theater goers when the magnificent and beautiful Majestic Theater on Cedar street, recently built by Mr. A. N. Johnson of this city, threw open its doors and marched in the rank near the top as one of Nashville's noted playhouses. The fortunate troop to christen this theater was Lowery and Morgan's Mighty Minstrels under the management of capable and experienced leaders. With a troop of trained actors, they are furnishing entertainments during the holiday season. The attendance throughout has been exceedingly large, while the interest has not abated one bit. The opening performance was a matinee Christmas day, and the entire seating space was sold before the doors were opened, hence nothing but standing room for the late comers and the night goers was to be had. The inclement weather did not effect those who desired to see what was going on nor did the tide season keep down the theater goers, both seemed to encourage. Nashville has taken her place among he theater cities, and all because of the coming Majestic. The last performance for the present season will be Saturday when the theater will then have a short rest so that the contemplated improvements already outlined and contracted for, can be completed. Yet, the Negroes of Nashville will have had six days and nights of real playhouse season under their "were vine and fig tree," as it were when the curtains are lowered on Saturday night's performance. It is said that when the theater opens permanently, some of the best plays now on the stage will come this way and it is probable the Majestic will be placed on the regular circuit. Shows will no longer come to Louisville and turn their faces Eastward or Northward, but will come to the capital of sunny Tennessee. It is already evidenced that the people of Nashville will show their appreciation by their patronage. ROOSEVELT AND THE NOMINA TION. Behind the scenes, two names are constantly heard where Republicans of experience are in private conference. One is Roosevelt, and the other is Hughes. The Roosevelt movement seems to be gathering force all over the country. While a Hughes movement under the circumstances is not to be expected, there is talk everywhere of Justice Hughes as a highly available "dark horse." There has been a great deal of talk in the newspapers about the "intentions" of Mr. Roosevelt, and whether he is going to "declare himself" or not. Most of this talk has been instigated for the purpose of confusing the ordinary reader. Mr. Roosevelt is a well-known citizen know in private life, enjoying perfect health and the full vigor of a man in his prime. There is no possible reason why he should not accept the Republican nomination, if the party desires to confer it upon him. He has no machine behind him, whether local or national. He is not holding out his hat asking for anything; and in he were seeking the nomination his very solicitude for it would be a good reason for refusing to let him have it. The Presidency is too responsible an affair to be sought by any man. But there is at this moment no prominent man in either party who is called upon to announce that he would not take a nomination from his own party if given to him.—From "The Progress of the World," in the American Review [of Reviews for January]. Misses Ruth Crockett and Carrie Lowe visited friends at Franklin this week. Miss Eula Shelton, of Clarksville, was the guest of Miss Maggle Mitchell at 33 North Hill street during the holidays.

Na 523 Seco National 523 Second Avenue WHY WE MUST HAVE POTASH. Last year American farmers bought from Germany about $15,000,000 worth of potash salts. In 1910 we bought $12,000,000 worth; in 1900, about $4,000,000 worth. During these twelve years we spent for potash $75,000,000 and during the coming twelve years, at the present rate of increase in consumption, we shall spend $25,000,000 more. While this possible increased demand for potash is enormous it is by no means improbable. We are really just beginning to recognize widely the great value of potash as a fertilizer and its capacity for doubling the agricultural yield of many broad acres. The possibilities of its use in the United States are almost limitless. Nor would such an increase be phenominal in the history of our mineral development. Our consumption of some other minerals has increased in an even more spectacular manner—coal, for instance. The difference is that we are importing all this potash, and it goes against the American grain to send abroad our good money for a raw material, especially a mineral. For we pride ourselves on being by far the greatest mineral producers of the world. It is well worth while, therefore, to find an American supply of potash. As a matter of fact we must either purchase potash or produce it, since potash is an absolute essential con- Cent e consi ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` s for 5c py in Binding 00 py in co Binding tional Bap d Avenue, Nor stituent of any complete fertilizer. The period of virgin soil requiring no fertilizer, and of a wood-ashes' supply, has gone by in the United States and it is becoming more and more generally necessary to apply potash salts in common agricultural practice. Without potash in the soil no plant can grow, much less thrive and reproduce itself.—From "The Potash Search in America," by Guy Elliott Mitchell, in the American Review of Reviews for January PYTHIAN LODGES ELECT DELE- GATES The Fythian Lodges are in the throes of their annual election of delegates to the State Granl Lodge.

RUSSIAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS It is true that the termination of the treaty will give both countries the legal opportunity to act in an unfriendly manner one to the other, but such action is quite improbable. American friendship is valuable to Russia. Because it has been seen fit to denounce the treaty, the United States for its part has no desire to harass the Czar's empire. Russia has grave internal problems of her own to settle. Her Government regards the admission of Hebrews to Russia as a peril to her institutions. The Russian people believe that the Jewish question is a domestic peril so grave that even the important question of Russo-American relations takes a second place. Americans have no desire to aggravate the gravity of the problems that the Russian people are facing. But they find it difficult to understand the workings of Russia's foreign policy in more than one respect. It is fortunate that this passport question should have been brought to a final issue when Russia was demanding the removal from office of W. Morgan Shuster, the American Treasurer-General of Persia. This course has served to confirm the belief already held by a great many Americans that Russia is opposed to the principle of fair play which the office of the United States always want to see prevail when a people like the Persians are struggling to regenerate themselves.—From "The Progress of the World," in the American Review of Reviews for January.

THE GALVESTON REFORM IN CITY GOVERNMENT. It is eleven years since the Galveston disaster. But out of that exigency, with beginnings in the merest of accidents, has grown a movement which has re-created the structure of one hundred and sixty American cities, shaken some of the most cherished traditions of our politics, and put a new note of optimism in our political thinking. Galveston's rehabilitation needed a strong, efficient direction from its governing body; its complex unworkable government could not give it. Straightway, without resort to theory, some of the leading citizens proceeded to map out a very simple plan of control at the hands of five men, who were to have ample powers and be unhampered in their choice of means. The plan was adopted and worked exceedingly well, but it was not democracy, for the commission was chosen by the Governor. The legislative act creating it was declared unconstitutional on these grounds. But it was revived in substantially its original form with this vital difference: that the "commissioners" were to be chosen by popular vote. The shifting of control from Governor to people caused uneasiness to the local leaders, who were only too familiar with the results of the popular rule under the old government. But the electors made good this time by electing to office the very men whom the Governor had appointed. And for ten years they have been relecting them again and again, so that with one exception the original commission has been at the helm in Galveston till this year. It was a new phenomenon; the people actually selecting for office not men who had been identified with office-getting organizations, but bankers and business men of ability reputations to sustain and inter- their own to protect. So that voson experiment not only solve local problem of efficient govern-ent, but it did so without a sacrifice of democratic principles. In fact, the theory which has grown up out of Galveston's success is that the simplified conditions of citizenship have been all that is really needed to put the people of a community in effective control.—From "The Short Ballot in American Cities," by H. S. Gilbertson, in the American Reviews of Reviews for January. One-Cent Savings Bank Incorporated Under the Laws of Tennessee. CAPITAL STOCK, $25,000.00. Does a regular banking business.

Benjamin Franklin was right when he said: "If a man empties his purse into his head no one can take it from him." It is his in fee-simple for time and for eternity. The ideal citizen is he who develops in harmonious proportions, his moral, intellectual and physical nature. This should be the goal for which men of all classes should aim, and it is this only which constitutes real greatness. Thomas Scott said, "A man cannot leave a better legacy to the world than a well-educated family." It was W. H.

He has learned that it is more blessed to give than it is to receive; that "Men of many blessings should scatter blessings round, as laden boughs in autumn fling their blessings to the ground." The ignorant masses are the blind Samsons under this government. We must save them or they will destroy us. Criticism will not solve the problem. Phariseus seclusion will only complicate matters. Nothing but a willingness to spend and be spent, to lift as you climb; to give as freely as you have received; and this only will satisfy the equation and remove the difficulty. The ideal citizen is a man of dignity, refinement and eminent moral stamina. More book-learning is a curse; it is less than chaff which the wind drives away.

He uses all that he has for the good of others. Thus he is blessed, and thus he becomes a blessing. The ideal citizen is thoroughly patriotic. All of his thoughts and actions are directed to the good of his country. He delights to pay his tazes, and to bear his part of all the burdens of the municipality. The traitor may exult and chuckle as he sees the Ship of State drifting toward the breakers, but the ideal citizen rejoices in the triumph of that form of government that saves his life, protects property, encourages manliness and honors virtue. It was Henry Clay that said, "That patriotism which catches its inspirations from the immortal God, and, leaving at an immeasurable distance below all lesser, groveling, personal interests and feelings, animates and prompts to deeds of self-sacrifice, of valor, of devotion, and of death itself—that is public vir- --- The tenents of the organization are superb.

The ideal citizen is a home builder and a freeholder. More and more as a race we must get an unwrenchable claim upon the soil. You cannot make anything out of man who moves every month to keep from paying rent. Real estate gives stability and influence to a race as well as to an individual. Then, again, ownership develops business ability. This is an age of materialism. Men are too busy with the problems of life to waste time with idlers and paupers. This age respects the man that can do something, that has something, who is something. There is not much prejudice against the dollar. If you have it then the white man wants to do business with you.

All over the South there are thousands of our people owning neat and beautiful homes, into which industrious and builders—more who will take upon faithful husbands are bringing the results of their labor; to the end that their wives may be supported and their children educated. We need, however, more home themselves the duties and responsibilities of a family. We still waste too much money buying frivolities and nothings. We ought to emulate the white man's virtues, but we cannot afford to copy his faults. The Indian took nothing out of the white man's civilization but his vices. This was fatal to the red man. Let us profit by his mistakes. The ideal citizen is not only a home-builder, but he exalts his wife and crowns her queen of his home. Man in his savage state makes woman his slave, his beast of burden. Man civ --- illized and Christianized regards woman as his equal, his helpmeet, sympathizer and friend. In contemplating the worth and glory of woman, Matthew Henry, the English divine and commentator, said, "Woman was taken out of man; not out of his head to top him, nor out of his feet to be trampled underfoot; but out of his side to be equal to him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." The exercises at Fisk were largely attended by the student body and visitors from the community and the city at large. A splendid program was carried out, the music being of an exceptionally high quality. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION AT COLUMBIA. Special to the Globe.

There were two programmes rendered, one at 3 p. m. and another at 8 p. m. Both exercises were largely attended and many good and encouraging hings were said by the different speakers. Those who spoke were Prof. J. H. Kelly, Dr. D. S. Collery Prof. Johnson and Dr. G. W. Porter Rev. S. L. Howard, of Nashville, had been selected to deliver the principal oration, but for some reason he failed to get here and Dr. Porter was called upon to fill his place. It is said that Dr. Porter delivered one of the most appropriate and eloquent addresses ever listened to by the people of this community. Some of the beautiful features of the celebration were the recitation of a poem, "A Relic of Slavery," by Mrs. M. W. Doyle, and a poem, "The Heroine of the Delta," by Miss Maggie Green. Both poems were written by Dr. Porter. The Emancipation song composed by Prof. J. H. Kelly was beautifully rendered by St. Paul choir. At night the Emancipation Drill and song by thirty beautiful little girls was one of the most interesting and beautiful scenes ever presented here. The whole affair was a success from beginning to end and the whole city is alive with praise of Dr. G. W. Porter and those who co-operated with him to make the celebration the great success which it was. Last Sunday was a great day at St. Paul A. M. E. Church and as Sunday night was watch-meeting night, the people came to the regular service and remained until twelve o'clock. Fifteen minutes before twelve the pastor extended an invitation for sinners to meet him at the altar. Eleven came forward for prayer and just two minutes before twelve, while the large bell in the tower was toiling away the last minutes of the old year, four of the eleven who were kneeling at the altar were converted. Dr. B. F. Davis, a practicing physical from Chicago, who will enter the practice of his profession in this city, connected himself with St. Paul at the watch service. Much credit is due Mr. A. R. Perkins, Mrs. S. Evans, Mrs. C. O. Hunter and Mrs. Carrie Burrell for the beautiful decoration arranged for the Emancipation celebration. WOMAN BANK CASHIER. Another instance showing that women have entered the financial and commercial sphere and that they are to be reckoned with as factors in the business world of the race, is being demonstrated by the way that Mrs. M. W. Beadles is conducting affairs of the American Trust & Savings Bank, a $25,000 corporation in the state of Mississippi. Mrs. Beadles is the second woman in the state of Mississippi to serve in the capacity of cashier of a bank. The American Trust and Savings Bank is located at Jackson, Miss., on North Farish street. Some little apprehension was felt when Mr. Beadles was selected as acting cashier, but Mr. W. A. Scott, president of the bank; Mr. J. A. Martin, vice President; Mr. E. H. McKissack, second vice president, and Mr. P. W. Howard, attorney for the institution, all of whom constituted the executive committee, had decided to allow this woman an equal opportunity, giving her a fair trial as actuarial. To date this gives the Negro banks in the United States three women who are serving at the helm of these great institutions as guiding stars. There is a predominant feeling that at the coming stockholders' meeting of the American Trust and Savings Bank, to be held in Jackson, January 24, Mrs. Beadles will be placed on the board of directors. The affairs of the institution, according to the reports just sent out, seem to be in a healthy condition. One Negro woman president and two Negro women as cashiers are the boast of the race for the close of 1911 and the beginning of 1912. BISHOP PHILLIPS IN ATLANTA. On the 24th of December Gammon Theological Seminary at Atlanta Ga., celebrated the 92nd birthday of the founder, Mr. Gammon. On this occasion, which is styled "Founder's Day" and according to custom, a person of national reputation was invited to deliver an address. This year the honor was bestowed upon Bishop C. H. Phillips, of this city, who delivered one of his brilliant addresses that are so characteristic of the man Gammon Theological Seminary was opened in 1883. The first class was graduated in 1886, and every year since communities throughout the country have been benefited by the addition to their citizenship of some member of the class from Gammon. PROF.
