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

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.

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.

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.

We are still prepared to ship these dolls immediately upon receipt of your order for the same. We will sell any of the dolls named below, which are all we have left, at the amount marked opposite each size doll.

Banks, Medamus Nellie Lewis, Lou Hayes, Sallie Williams, Misses Hattie Pruelle, Jennie Williams and Mr. Stoney Elroid, Mrs. Armstrong was at her best as the dinner proved in every particular. The party enjoyed the afternoon in a jolly chat and left at a very late hour in the afternoon, wishing the host and hostess a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Miss Mary Scott, daughter of Mr. Gaynor Scott, departed this life December 27th. Miss Scott has not been well since the death of her mother, Mrs. Cornelia Scott, who died last April. She leaves a father, sister and brothers and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Mr. Robert Turner and Miss Jennie Williams were united in marriage at New Zion Baptist Church Sunday, December 31st, at 5 p.m. Rev. R. H. Harris officiating.

BRILLIANT NEW YEAR START.
The Christmas trees and the splendid exercises german to the occasion leave the people of South Nashville largely encouraged with new hopes and greater aims for the future in the coming New Year. 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. The sick people of our community are so numerous that we do not know whom to mention first. However, we solicit the sympathy and prayers of the good people that we may in the future take the first step in time, guard well the laws of health. The Women's District Missionary Union will hold its first meeting for the year at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church on Friday, January 5, at 2:30 p. m.

ALLENSVILLE (KY.) NOTES.
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. Bibb left for Walden in University, Nashville on the 27th, via Clarksville, Tenn., where they spent a night with their friends and continued their journey on Thursday morning. Miss Ruth Boden, of Clarksville, spent a day during the Christmas at Almstead, also Miss Netta Sydnor, of the same town spent a week at Almstead. Mrs. H. E. H. Smith, the wife of Rev. W. Conway Smith, has been spending a while here with her husband. She has been on the sick list quite a while, but is now up and out again. Mrs. Reta Walden, one of the oldest members of the Spilman Chapel died a few days ago. Mr. J. Wimmis Bibb was the master of ceremonies at the young converts' banquet on the 26th inst. Mr. Alex Morrow and Miss Alma Midcalf, both of the Keysburg neighborhood, were united in holy wedlock January 1st at the home of Mr. T. T. Tandy, Alenville. Rev. W. Conway Smith officiled.

MOORESVILLE NOTES
Since our last communication from this place another year has been born to us to be rocked in the cradle of time for the next twelve months. The past year has been one fraught with many blessings and sorrows, yet God has been good to us and we should praise his name in the highest. Christmas has come and gone and our people here have enjoyed it quieter and with more reverence than for many years. Entertainment have been numerous here this Xmas. Rev. W. C. Hunt preached a very able and interesting sermon at McKenzie Chapel on Xmas day. Quite a large crowd was out to hear him. Prof. J. B. Jones gave his pupils a Christmas tree Wednesday in the Xmas. Everybody seemed to enjoy the antics of old Santa Claus and his wife. He Santa Claus, brought each of the students a gift. Santa Claus certainly did remember Prof. Jones and is still sending him presents. The A. M. E. Church here gave an entertainment Wednesday night. Perhaps the greatest event of the holidays was the public installation of the newly elected officers of the Knights of Pythias of McKenzie Lodge, Thursday in the Christmas. Quite a large crowd was out to witness the installation. Dock Eslack were delivered by Mr. Dock Eslack. Rev. W. C. Hunt, Prof. J. B. Jones and Dr. C. H. Hunter, of Columbia. After the exercises a bounteous feast was spread in the school room where everybody ate and enjoyed themselves. They are the compliments passed on the K. of P's, here for the royal manner in which they entertained their guest. Special mention should be made of the Ladies Court here.

‘The Globe Enlarged.
Beginning with this issue of the

to venture one step further on the:
journalistic sea. For six yoars it
has been a five-column, eight-page
‘paper. Though small the Globe has
never, in a single instance, con-
tained ag much as one inch of patent

Dr. Riley.
Negroes of this city had an oppor-|
tunity to meet Dr, B. F. Riley, of
Birmingham, Ala,, face to face, Dr.
Riley is the author of a book entl-|
tled “The White Man's Burden.” He)
is expresident of one of the leading
white universities in the South, and
three years ago he resigned the pas-
torate of a church that was paying
him $3,600 a year. He stated at the
time of his resignation that he had
Gecided to take up the cause of an
‘oppressed people, namely, the Amerl-
‘ean Negrocs. He made his plans
‘known to both white and black, and
without any ald from any source
|whatever, he set about to write a
‘book and publish the same.
When a man attempts any reform,
[ho is at first considered a erank or
1a mon 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 seme. 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 gold, and the author 1s 0°
ing from state to state and from
community to community ellig
the people and discussing with them
in an impassionate way the nia
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-own-
ing parents, and choosing himself to
eat his meals from the tray with a
fixen or more slave Negro ctildren|
raher 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 smart-
est 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
s|toll day in and day out, To use
-|his own words, he could see only
ij for them that they would get up {n
:|jthe morning, harness their mules,
»|go to the field and plough all day
,|return to the house at night, put ur
-|their stock and feed them and ther
-|cook their supper, and after they
.|had eaten, go to bed, sleep till morn
1/ing, get up and return to the field
>| This they would do from day to day

e| As was said by the speaker i
d|his addresses In this city last Sur
g'day, the duty of changing the ser
v\timent in this country from an ut

Negro is a tremendous task; bu

| white race born and reared in th
g South who believe that every ma

New Year Opportunities
We are passing into the new year,
and as the old year with its suc-
cesses 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 fs 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 ‘Ten-
nessee would be to get together in
‘business, in public movements for
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 65, 1912.
the general uplift of the people and
im whatever other way deemed _ad-
visable for the general good. Con-
ditions in Nashville and Tennessee
are in excellent shape. Those men
who wil! 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 fob out-of which
he can at Teast earn enough money
to buy something to eat, a few clothes
to wear and a little coal to. make
fires.
Negroes are poor of course, but
thre are some things they must do
for themselves, It is not expected
that their efforts will amount to as
much as efforts put forti with the
same energy by people wha 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’ appre-
ciative as these people who receive
_venefactions at the hands of the well
| to-do.
| But little will be accomplished un-
| less there is united effort. There fs
‘need for arescue home for the fallen.
We will neverhave one however, 80
hing 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
ie be done. There is soon to be
erected a Boys Reformatory for
site and black. ‘This will be a pub-
He 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 plat-
ter for the Negro if he will only get
(himself in shape to receive them. So
jlong as there continues a bickering
land jealousy, so tong will those
{things that might be secured and ut
lized for the good of all! the people
{go astray or to the benefit of other
|people, One of the greatest oppor
tunities the new year offers is an op
| portunity for an improvement aions
‘this line, and the longer this stey
is put off the farther will we be from
ja solution of the many perplexins
|| 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

CHRISTMAS DISTRIBUTION.
St. Paul A, M. E. Church was the
scene of great activity Thursday, De-
cember 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 earnestly
to have something substantial and
helpful for each one. Sixty well:
fied baskets of groceries, dainties,
ete, were given out from tho 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 chil
dren. We can eawily estimate that
more than 125 or 150 persons
including children have been
reached through this movement on
the part of tho club, Beside the
baskets of food, clothing, shoes, toys
candies and coal were given out. One
‘old lady leaning upon her cane said
when her basket was given her
“Thank God for this basket of food.
May God bless every soul who help
ed.”
‘The club thanks the pastor and of
ficia) cabinet of St. Paul for tho ust
of the church for this distribution
We are grateful to all who alded us
in any way to make this distributior

BANK CALENDARS FOR 1912.
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.

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.
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.

"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.

ber of the dark-skinned races who
has been able to live by the side of
the white man and increase in num-
ber. In the last decade the Negroes
have increased 11.8 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 ts
not a discouraging view for the Ne:
gro. An increase of 11 per cent is
& normal increase. The recent cen.
sug of England showed an increase
of 12 per cent, so the Negro shows
about the same increase as the Eng
lish, 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
dave ought 4,000 agricultural farms;
Alabama and’ Arkansas 16,0000 each;
Mississippi 239,000 and in Georgia
50,000 addit!’~al farms. Negroes
are about 10. yer cont, of the popula

2 per cent of the money spent on ed:
ucation has been spent on him, Al

Now 57 per: cent of them can read

Behind the scenes, two names are
‘constantly sheard where Republicans
‘of experience are in private confer-
nee, One is Roosevelt, and the other
is Hughes. The Roosevelt’ move-
ment seems to be gathering force’ all
over the country. While a Hughes
‘movement under the elreumstances Is
‘not to be expected, there is talk every-
where of Justice Hughes as a highly
available “dark horse.” ‘There has
‘been a great deal of talk in the news-
‘papers 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 pertsct health and the full
vigor of a man in his prime, There
is io possible reason why he should
not accept the Republican nomination,
[if the party’ desiros to confer it upon
him, He has no machine bebind him,
whether local or national. He is not
holding out his hat asking for any-
thing; and i: he were seeking the
nomination his very solicitude for it
would be a good reason for refusing
to let him have it. ‘The Presidency

early, that is, before they have acquired sufficient education to fit them for the highest possible citizenship. 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. Beecher who said that every man should use his intellect, not as he uses his lamp in his study, only for his own seeing, but as the light house uses its lamps, that those afar on the deep blue sea

may see the shining and learn the way. Thus we see that the ideal citizen is utterly unselfish. 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. The patriot is the need of the hour; he lays not only

his education, but his life on the altar for his country. 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-

tue: that is the noblest, the sublimest of all public virtues."
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. If you would ask me what I regard as the most hopeful indication of progress among our people, I would say that it is the fact that they are moving out of the one room log cab-

in with its chimney of sticks into more commodious quarters. 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.
Columbia, Tenn., Jan. 2.—The principal event in Columbia this week was the Emancipation Celebration which took place Monday and Monday night at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Dr. G. W. Porter, the pastor, was commissioned by James G. Blaine Post No. 102, G. A. R., to manage the celebration, and the way he conducted the whole affair proves him to be a man well up with such work. 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.
