Soon after the close of the war, when Negroes had but little experience as citizens and no experience as financiers, a great wrong was perpetrated upon the Negro people by the inauguration of a mammoth financial institution known and styled as the Freedman's Savings Bank. This banking institution was not managed by Negroes, but if it had been it would have been no disgrace for them to have failed. But men, who made pretentions to educate and train Negroes in the art of frugality, savings and executive management of financial institutions, took the lead and did the managing PUBLISHING BOARD MEETING. On account of pressure of business, Chairman Clark, of the Publishing Board, was unable to call the Board to order Tuesday morning. Several of the members were present at the Publishing House but an adjournment was called for a subsequent date.

Patterson or Mr. C. W. Naper. Both of these gentlemen travel for the Company. The last to visit Nashville was Mr. Naper, while Mr. Fred Patterson is the best known of the two in Nashville. This firm has existed for about one-half century and is one of the best known in the country. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JANUARY 12, 1912 BUSINESS MEN MEET IN MISS. Important Matters Discussed--Big Oil Mill About Completed Mound Bayou, Miss., Jan. 6—A meeting of vital importance to the entire race was held Wednesday of this week at Mound Bayou, the oldest Negro town in the country. It was called by Hon. Chas, Banks, First Vice President of the National Negro Business League and cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou. Representative men and women from Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee were present and took part in the meeting. It was strictly a business meeting, called to discuss business matters of interest to the race and to show to the world that the race is capable of managing great enterprises. Perhaps the largest enterprise ever brought before the race and attempted since the emancipation is the Mound Bayou Oil Mill, which is about completed and will soon be in operation. The oil mill, which is a large two-story brick building, 5022, and the seed house and warroom, a large frame building 50x244, are equipped with all the modern machinery and were erected and furnished at a cost of $95,000, all of which has been paid with with the exception of $12,000, which the men are now putting forth an effort to raise without having to mortgage the plant. It is only a short time before the machinery will be put in operation, giving employment to fully a hundred men and boys of the race. It will be one of the largest mills of its kind in the South. The promoters have been so careful in their investment that they declare that it will pay a dividend to the investors the first year. "We believe in the doctrine of self-help," declared Hon. Charles Banks, who is regarded as one of the shrewdest business men of his race in the South. "and to this we are working. We are not standing around complaining and asking others to do for us what we can do for ourselves. In and about Mound Bayou we own 30,000 acres of land, and some of our people have good banks accounts. Why should we not do something with our money? Why not make the land work for us? Dirt draws no color line." The meeting was called to order by Rev. A. A. Cosey, D. D., pastor of the Baptist Church, and one of the an address by Hon. I. T. Montgomery, leading men in this section of the country, Rev. J. H. Greer made the opening prayer and then followed founder of Mound Bayou and the first mayor. His address was interesting because he knew the history of Mound Bayou. Other speakers were Rev. A. A. Cosey, D. D., Mound Bayou; John W. Francis, president of the bank of Mound Bayou; Dr. W. P. Kyles, George H. Mays, E. C. Morris, D. D., president of the National Baptist Convention, and Hon. Josiah T. Settle, Memphis, Tenn. The addresses all had the ring of do something in them, and were full of good advice. It was then announced that business was in order, and the stocks books were thrown open, and the first started by an announcing that he would subscribe $250 additional stock to what he had already, Dr. W. A. Attaway of Greenville, president of the Mississippi Peneficial Insurance Company, and it kept the secretary busy after that writing subscriptions. Some men who were unable to be present sent for stock, enclosing checks to pay for them. Among those present were Revs E. C. Morris, Helena, Ark; J. A. Booker, D. D., president of the Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock Ark; W. A. J. Morgan, Grand Master of the Shriner Grand Lodge of Masons; E. N. Topp, D. D., editor of the Reporter, Jackson; W. W.

Church, is at 1771 Patterson street for the present. He succeeds Rev. T. J. Moppins, who was transferred to Mayfield. BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL Parties Buy Farm on Cumberland for Stock Raising Seldom is there recorded among the real estate deals in this city of Negroes one that is larger in value or in actual size, than the one made several days ago in which something over one hundred acres of land in close proximity to Nashville were taken over by several prominent business men of the city. It is said that a sum nearly up to the $14,000 mark was paid by these men for one of the best located farms and truck gardening spots in Davidson County. Inquiry reveals the fact that the farm in question is on the banks of the Cumberland River, on the right hand side of the bridge, as you approach the river. It extends from the bridge to the old pest-house, following close to the river, and comes up to the street near the Southern Publishing Association. While the purchasers of this valuable piece of real estate are not willing to have their names published yet, it is understood that there are four of them, and that they contemplate in connection with truck gardening the raising of hogs. They have calculated that enough corn, peas, pumpkins, potatoes and turnips can be raised to feed several hundred head of hogs each year, in addition to the enormous amount of garden stuff which will find a ready market in this city. One of the parties in the deal, when seen by the Globe reporter, declared that in due time announcement will be made by the purchasers. There are two splendid dwelling houses on the place and one of the finest daries around the city is already in operation. While no publicity has been given the transfer the deal has already been closed and the property has changed hands. NOTABLE PLACE DINNER IN NEW YORK. New York, January 8.—The Peace Dinner given by the Sunday World Thomas McVigh, Jr., Editor of the Metropolitan Section, presiding, at the famous Hotel Astor, Thursday evening, January 4th, was attended by representatives of almost every race on the face of the earth.

Bourke Cochran; Police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo; Count Spearwant; Prince Palaeague; Dr. J. E. Hoving, Mr. R. Isenhomiya, President of the New York branch of the Yokohama Specie Bank; Nassad Bev; John O'Hara Cosgrave, Editor of Collier's Magazine and formerly editor of Everybody's Magazine, and Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York City, who represented the Afro-American people.

Robt Adamson, Secretary to Mayor Gaynor; Hon. Frederick R. Coudert, the famous corporation lawyer, and a host of others of the highest importance in the life of New York City. Collector Anderson had one of the special places of honor, and his name appears third as the seating of the Peace Banquet. The Afro-American people of New York City and of the country have especial reason to feel proud of this representative at this banquet. His address is reported to have been one of the oratorical gems of the evening. B. Y. P. U. BOARD MEETING On Wednesday of this week was the regular Board meeting of the National A. B. Y. P. U. Board. Quite a number of the out-of-town members were expected to be in session. The Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Isaac states that he had the assurance from a number of these, stating that they would arrive in time for the meeting, but it was not stated if Dr. P. J. Bryant would be in attendance or not. The prime object of this meeting is believed to be for the purpose of furthering the work among the young people and th kindling of much enthusiasm in the Unions throughout the United States. Since Nashville is the headquarters, all actions must begin here. AID FOR TUSKEGEE. By the will of the late R. Z. C. Rorn well, of Cleveland, Ohio, the Tuskegee Institute is to receive a legacy of Two Thousand Dollars, and in addition is made residuary legatee of the estate.

PEOPLE SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST COMPANY WORK PROGRESSING ON NORMAL SCHOOL. Work is being rapidly pushed in the buildings of the Normal Agricultural and Mechanical School, located in Centennial avenue, notwithstanding the very inclement weather, which has prevailed for the past few weeks. The contractors have managed in some way to keep the work going on under many difficulties. It is stated that the selection of teachers is soon to be made, but this report could not be confirmed. Mr. Ben Carr is Superintendent of the Ag- A. M. TOWNSEND, Cashier People's Savings Bank and Trust Co. ricultural Department. The President, Prof. Hale, is not in the city; it is understood that he is on a general tour of inspection of the various State schools situated throughout the South, and he could not be reached. It is learned this week that Prof. Hale is, or has been in Greensboro, N. C. Prof. White, is also out of the city, but the concensus of opinion is that within the next six months the entire faculty will be selected, organized into a teaching force and ready for work when the big school opens in the fall. Assurance has been given that when this school opens the Jefferson street car line will be extended so that the cars will run in front of the school and double truck cars will be put on this line. In all probability it is the plan of the street car company to extend the lines to West Nashville, thus relieving the travel and much of the congestion in West Nashville proper, as Jefferson street is the logical route to West Nashville. REV. W. H. JERNAGIN, D. D. A telegram was received in this city this week by the Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board announcing that Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., a member of the Board from Oklahoma, would be here this week. Prior to the receipt of this telegram announcement had been made that Dr. Jernigan, the pastor of one of the best churches in the new state, would visit Nashville for the first time, but this was not confirmed till the Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board announced the receipt of the telegram. Rev. Mr. Jernigan is looked upon as one of the leading Baptist divines in his state. He is a native of Mississippi, and like most Oklahomaans, is such by adoption. He is pastor of the church of which Mr. W. H. Harrison a lawyer of much prominence, who also spent a number of years in Nashville, is a member. BURIED AT MURFREESBORO The remains of Mrs. Sam B. Neal, who died recently at one of the local infirmaries, were carried to Murfreesboro, her old home, for interment. A number of friends accompanied the bereaved husband on his sad mission to pay the last tribute of respect to this dearly beloved woman, who had won the admiration and respect of all with whom she came in contact. Floral designs from neighbors, and one from the club of which she was a member, attest the high esteem in which Mrs. Neal was held in Nashville. MR. B. HIGHTOWER VISITS HIS OLD HOME Mr. B. Hightower, of Chicago, Ill., was in the city this week shaking hands with friends and enjoying the Southern hospitality that he used to enjoy in days gone by. Mr. Hightower went to Chicago about twenty years ago and secured a position with the People's Gas Light and Coke Company as janitor, a position he has held ever since, now being considered a retired member of the corporation. Mr. Hightower is the owner of some very valuable real estate in Chicago, and also a large farm near Brentwood, where he was born. He is a member of one of the leading churches in Chicago and is one of the leading figures in all things that pertain to uplift of the people. TENNESSEE'S LEAD- ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.2 INGS BANK UST COMPANY No.2 Makes Good Showing for the Year STOCKHOLDERS IN ANNUAL SESSION President Makes Brief Talk—Cashier's Report—Election of Directors and Officers The annual meeting of the stockholders of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company was held in bank building on Cedar street Wednesday night. A large number of the stockholders were present and the business of the hour was transacted without any confusion. Dr. R. F. Boyd, the president, made a brief talk in which he reviewed the work of the year and made his predictions for the future, based upon the faith he had in the institution. After some minor matters were settled the cashier's report was called for. He read as follows: To the Stockholders of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Co.: R. F. BOYD, President People's Savings Bank and Trust Co. It is with a feeling of gratitude entwined with honor, and surmounted only by duty and loyalty to a race, that I herewith make my report to you as Cashier for the year just ended. Our progress does not show up to you in dollars and cents on the profit side, although our receipts have been in excess of our expense each month since February, yet when you consider our condition when we first took charge of affairs and the small amount of support and encouragement given by the majority of you as stockholders even, you must concede that our progress is phenomenal. I cannot understand why persons can allow their names to be on the directorate of an institution of this kind and not even our list of depositors. This bank cannot hope to succeed or win the confidence of the general public until it has a directo W. T. HIGHTOWER, 1st Vice-Pres. People's Savings Bank and Trust Co. rate that will have confidence in its possibilities, that will contribute to a man its influence and money to its upbuilding and that will demonstrate that confidence by placing its means here and doing its business here In the election of your next Board of Directors I hope you will elect only those who have enough confidence in this bank at least to deposit here. I don't believe any man ought to be on the Board of Directors who is afraid to carry an account here. His influence without this demonstration of his confidence is no good to us. We cannot blame the general public for not having confidence in us, if we have none in ourselves. We cannot blame them for refusing to allow a set of men to dictate as to how their money shall be handled when they put none of their own into the business. It shows lack of confidence on its very face.

Africa, OF te agracultural promise this land offers to the Italian peas- nt and farmer Mr. Cora writes: | “Among fertile zones of this region | are to be reckoned the oases, in which | Cate-bearing palms are chiefly cultt- | vated, which are most fruitful where | the subsoil 1s rich in water....A care- ful caloulation leads me to the con- | clusion, after actual observation, that ‘Tripoli’ has a fertile area equa’ to the combined arable lands of Sicily ana } Sardinia combined.” Of the mineral wealth of this part of Africa, Mr. Cora tells us that while the regions hitherto explored by spectalists are limited, it has been plainly demonstrated that the Syrtic Cistrict has large deposits of sulphur, and that in the coastal zone we hear of rich beds of phosphate. The salt pits of Bonghez!, ho remarks, “aro likely to yield a greater revenue when the are better managed.” This writer also thinks that the cretaceous tor- mations ot Tripoli and Cyrenalca promise fine building material, and believes that there may be found “quarries of that African marble | which was used so freely in the deco- jration of ancient Rome.” | One of the main points this writer | dwells upon is the great advantage to Italy and to Europe of ‘Tripoli’s post- tion as furnishing a shorter postal route between India andthe Mediter- ranean countries, “owing to the near- ness of her coast to that of the Mo- rea, Southern Grevee and Sielly,” and he ‘concludes as follows: |“eraking all" things into considera- | tion, the conquest of Tripoll and its |cependencies is well worth to Italy | that which it costs her. It may not |be one of the best parts of Africa, it is perhaps the least fertile of the |morthern section of the country. It is | vossibly for this reason that the other Fowers have passed it by. Neverthe- fess, if the Government settles it with prudence, Italian tax-payers will have nothing to repent of in the new colonial policy, especially when | we consider what’ ‘might be their |perll if those leagues of coast were ccoupied even by such friendly |Powers as France, Great Britain, or possibly Germany.” } While Mr, Cora thus speculates in a spirit of optimism on the prospects -|of Italy in ‘Tripoli, an English writer, who recently roused attention by his »| powerful book on war as the “great ,| illusion,” especially as regards terri- torial possession, tells his readers in */London’s Daily Mail that Italy is »|acting with blindness and ineptitude, | The only profitablé thing to a nation, */wo are told, is the expansion of its | trade, Mr. Norman Angell enlarges pon this point as follows: *| “In the days of the sailing-ship and the lumbering wagon dragging slow. ,/15 over all but impassable roads, for */cne country to derive any considera * ble profit from another it had, prac , | tically, to administer it politically. Y But the compound steamengine, the @ /tullway, the telegraph have profound , ly modified the elements of the whol yf |Hroblem.

Miss Rosebud is an experienced and well-informed lady, a fluent speaker and ready writer. To Miss Rosebud will be given the complete management of the Society feature of the Globe. It is hoped that the citizens of Nashville will send in notices, invitations to parties, receptions, dances, evening affairs, banquets, weddings and informal affairs and such other entertainments as may be going on from time to time. Miss June Rosebud will have a desk in the Globe office. She will prepare and turn in her copy not later than 12 o'clock Wednesday of each week. She will carry out the plan attempted by the Globe when Miss Pink Blossom was editored of Miladi's Note Book, and which has not been run regularly since Miss Pink Blossom was married.

The house, which is handsomely arranged for entertaining, was brilliantly lighted and tastefully bedecked in holiday attire for this occasion. In the dining-room the decorative art reached its climax in the harmonious and superbly arranged table, which, covered with snowy linen and adorned with silver and cut glass, presented a charming sight. As a central ornament a large bowl containing the choiceest fruits of the season, stood on a battenberg square, while on the table were bowls containing nuts and mints. As each guest arrived they were served delicious punch from an alcove in the hall presided over by Miss Myrtle Shook. Games of various kinds were indulged in.

SILVER WEDDING THE most brilliant social event of the season was the silver wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Davis, Which occurred Tuesday, December 26, at their home in Franklin. The house decorations were lavish and in charming taste. Graceful garlands of evergreen festooned the windows and woodwork. Throughout the house ferns and palms were effectively placed.

In the rear of the reception hall was a table covered with a cloth of battenberg with a large cut glass bowl of punch, which was dispensed by Misses Amindra Harris and Lou Ella Davis.

Y. M. L. C. After many years, months and days of counselling with well established purpose the club at last is very proud to make mention of its great undertaking. We have been severely criticized by the public at times for not securing quarters that is, permanent quarters, for our club, but for the want of knowledge of the real situation their meaning was well taken, but encouragement poor. They have not realized what a struggle we have witnessed these past five years or more to even exist and I should intimate were it not for the "old guards" whom we all know so well, our very existence would have been extinct long ago. The neuclus of the club is a body of struggling boys, most of whom misfortune has faced all their days, yet they have struggled and are still struggling to overcome dame misfortune and we all know what a battle it is when we attempt such. Never theless we are soon to give to the world men and the best quality of manhood. Now that a club-room is available and that we have secured such at the Pythian Temple, we are hoping to beautify the same and ask the friends of the club to visit the same at an early date. We feel very grateful to the parents of the club boys for all kindness and pains shown us in our circuit to their homes for to their encouragement we owe largely our existence. The first meeting was held there Monday night and weekly sessions as usual will be held from these quarters. All members are requested to be present next meeting.

Whitton, of Lexington, Tenn., arrived in our town last Saturday. He preached at St. James M. E. Church Sunday and Sunday night. The winter term of the Cliff on public school began January 2nd. Prof. P. P. Whitton is anticipating a large enrollment. Quite a number of the boys and girls are availing themselves of the opportunity to enroll during the winter months. Prof. J. E. West made a flying trip to Wayshaw last Friday. Many hunters are taking advantage of the snow and are supplying themselves with rabbits. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Spears invited as their guests last Sunday Rev. and Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Carena Bifile and Miss Lavaran Jobe. The Clifton Globe readers are speaking complimentary of the managers of the Globe for their progressive journalistic views in giving to the public a well-edited, newsy, six-column paper and we predict a bright future for the Globe. The Globe is bold and fearless, grappling with difficult problems with an eye single to the good of all the people. Go on, Editor Hart, and Manager Boyd. The people of Tennessee and the country at large are behind you with their prayers, money and best wishes. You have fought some noble battles while defeat stared you in the face. You came out victorious in the end. It seems that your motto was "Vincit omnia veritas" (Truth conquers all things). Under your banner the Globe readers have discovered "In hoe signe vinees" (Under this stand and thou shalt conquer). We can only add, continue the war on evil and the Globe, while now ranking with the leading papers of the contry, will take front ranks among the 7 Negro papers of the world. Sunday was quite a sad day for Clifton. No church services on account of the bad weather. Mr. Cooper got in on Wednesday night and the members of the A. M. E. Church are now arranging to give her and Rev. Cooper a grand reception. Mrs. Ida Jones is just as busy as a bee curtain making. She keeps her machine hitched up all the time. Miss B. L. Spears is on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mitchell were pleasant callers to the home of Mrs. Bette Spears, also N. C. Jackson. Mr. Thomas Hughes, who was sick for some time, is out again and will soon leave for Paducah, Ky., to work in a roundhouse. Rev. Thompson, pastor of the M. E. Church, is moving on nicely. Mr. Tenny Boggans and Mr. Thomas Chester are getting on nicely with their family grocery stores. Prof. Whitson has taken up subscriptions school and is doing well. Rev. W. I. Boddle, M. B., pastor, arrived here Friday for church services Sunday, but the weather being bad, he failed to have them. CULLEOKA NOTES. CULLLEOKA NOTES. The presiding elder of the Pulaski District, in the person of Rev. S. J. Howard, hold his first quarterly conference at the Culleoka Circuit Saturday and Sunday. Quite an interest was manifested in this conference as never before. The Presiding Elder's sermon Sunday night was one of vast importance. Quite an attentive number was present and very nice sum was realized from the conference. Rev. Howard is a man worthy of the position which he is filling and amidst the snow, rain and sleet the members and friends of the A. M. E. Church were seen plodding their way to the church, where they were filled with the divine words which fell from the lips of Rev. S. J. Howard. Rev. Howard also visited the Culleoka public school Tuesday and delivered an excellent address. The teacher and pupils were happy to have him visit them. While here he was the guest of Mr. Anderson Hughes. He also spoke very highly of the Nashville Globe and donated a sum to assist the reporter in the work of the Globe. We trust all readers of the Globe will be ready to make a settlement for the New Year. We desire to say that the Globe is a good paper, and we trust each reader of the paper will help support the good paper. One-Cent Savings Bank Incorporated Under the Laws of Tennessee.

Main 1840 Formerly with Cooper's ONE CENT SAVINGS BANK MEETING (Continued from Page 1) and gave the advice. But when this institution, like thousands of other institutions controlled by white men, failed the Negroes had to bear the blame. A branch of this great institution was, so I am informed, located in Nashville and this destroyed the confidence of all the older people who had financial desilings with the same. Hence, the One-Cent Savings Bank came upon the scene not for the purpose of investing and accumulating money for the stockholders, neither for the purpose of paying salaries to the officers, but for the purpose, first, of restoring confidence in the already industrious colored citizens and training our younger men in financial dealings. In my humble judgment the institution has performed its duty and filled its mission well. We have not massed together large sums of money. We have not made great speculations, neither have we paid officers large salaries, but in a humble and careful way we have collected together month by month the pennies, nickles and dimes of the industrious colored citizens and have used them honestly, cautiously, carefully, and I believe profitably, as our monthly statements will show. For the year 1911, according to the report of the assistant cashier, which he placed upon the president's desk on the 30th day of each month during the year, this institution has handled $777,532.07, as follows: January ..... $64,161 76 February ..... 49,657 94 March ..... 69,003 04 April ..... 77,634 97 May ..... 63,729 50 June ..... 70,077 83 July ..... 74,380 61 August ..... 56,712 46 September ..... 59,348 50 October ..... 71,415 69 November ..... 49,769 72 December ..... 71,640 05 10041 11,932 01 You can, therefore, see we have not had a large capital upon which to operate. We had, however, on the 30th day of December $30,403.03 invested and there was a cash balance in the vault of $26,844.20. Besides this, we have fixtures and other banking paraphernalia to the value of $2,000 or $3,000, not included in the report. Of this Everywhere Drink the satisfactory beverage Coca-Cola Carbonated in bottles. Delicious, Wholesome, Thirst-Quenching Relieves fatigue amount the stockholders have placed in the hands of the directors as paid up capital $5,030.00. With this $5,030.00 the directors and officers have so managed the affairs of the bank that they have paid each stockholder a cash dividend of 6 per cent. each year since the bank has thrown its doors open, have bought and paid for all the bank fixtures at their disposal, have paid all employees, all rents, all taxes and other incidental expenses, paid printing bills, bought stationery and postage and accumulated a cash surplus of $4,794.39. You will, therefore, see by these figures, if our banking and office fixtures are worth anything, each stockholder who bought and paid for one share of stock at $ in 1904 will have, with this year's dividend, received $2.40 on his $5.00 in cash and still has value of more than two dollars for every one dollar he or she paid into the bank. This I call careful financiering and judicial management. THE CONDITION OF THE BANK. I have no hesitation in saying that the condition of your bank and stock is such today that if every depositor would on tomorrow morning call for every dollar of their deposit it could and would be readily handed out over he counter by the cashier. Then if every stockholder should demand his or her capital stock paid back, dollar for dollar, with 6 per cent. per annum, which is the legal rate of interest, this could be handed over and still the bank would have its office fixtures and paraphernalia, the eight years' experience of its officers to do business and $4,794.39 on which to begin business the next day, which would be three thousand dollars in cash more than the bank had on the 16th day of January, 1904, when it first threw open its doors. This being the case, I feel an assurance and confidence in saying to you that banking is no longer an experiment with the One-Cent Savings Bank, but it is a reality, and I cannot see how any man or woman can hesitate a moment in investing their money with this institution, and I believe each stockholder will be doing his or her real duty when they advise their friends to invest their money in this institution and every stockholder would be thoroughly justified in doubling their holdings from today. RECOMMENDATIONS. I beg to recommend to the stockholders that they should this year elect a live, wide awake set of business men as directors and that these directors should in like manner elect a wise, judicial, intelligent set of officers to push the work of the bank for the year 1912. We lament the loss of our useful co-laborer, Mr. Lewis Winter, and report to you that while it was in the province of the Board of Directors to fill his place, we have seen fit to leave it unfilled this meeting. In electing the directors, however, I would earnestly recommend that we stand by the first rule adopted in our by-laws at the beginning of this institution, namely, that no person should be elected as a director or officer who did not hold or represent as much as twenty shares of paid up capital stock. "TALKS TO FARMERS." The following address, delivered at the Middle Tennessee Farmers' Institute in December by J. N. Meroney, is well worth reading by all people interested in truck growing in Tennessee: "My subject to today is 'Truck Growing in Middle Tennessee.' I will first call your attention to the natural advantages of our section for this kind of farming—its adaptability, to this special kind of work. We have here all varieties of soil, from heavy deep alluvial soils of our river bottoms to the light free- stone soil of the highland rim and the mountain plateau. Soil can be selected suitable for any vegetable, fruits or berries that can be grown in the temperate zone. Our climate is mild, allowing outdoor work nearly the whole year, with long growing seasons, early springs and late falls, enabling us to grow two crops a year of many vegetables. We are favorably situated, midway between the large cities, both to the North and South of us, with direct and quick railroad transportation to the splendid markets those cities furnish. What crop shall we grow? Potatoes, tomatoes and cantaloupes have been our best shipping crops, but we can profitably grow early apples, Keiffer pears, strawberries, raspberries, watermelons, onions, celery, asparagus and early green beans for shipment, and many other vegetables to sell in our home city and town markets. And for our home gardens we can put our early potatoes, tomatoes, early apples and strawberries in the markets of the large Northern cities some weeks before their products are available and when the prices are best. We have some soils that will grow as fine cantaloupes as the famous Rocky-ford region of Colorado, and we can put them on sale in Northern cities two weeks before the Northern crop. We can grow as fine strawberries as anywhere in the world. Our early apples are always eagerly taken in the Northern cities. Or course, these crops for distant ships must be grown in communities so as to get cheapest carload freight rates. "Let us notice some of the advantages of the business of truck growing over general farming in a community. Less land is needed for cultivation, so that more acres may be sown to grass and clovers and rested up and improved. More labor is required; more fertilizers are needed; better and more thorough cultivation is needed. As the favorable results of manure are noticed, more extra care will be used in saving and using it, thus building up and sustaining farm fertility and encouraging more intelligent cultivation. In general farming, as wheat, corn and cotton, it is almost impossible to improve or even sustain the fertility of the farm. While truck growing is sure to make the land more productive, less of the natural fertility is sold off and more of the fertilizing elements are yearly added. Nature's law of rotation has to be more closely studied and followed because of the increase of insect pests and fungus diseases peculiar to the many different crops. Grain and cotton growing bring into the farmer cash returns once a year, so that many farmers have to buy their farm implements and family supplies on credit, while the truck grower, getting his money often, is able to buy his supplies much cheaper for cash. A truck-growing community requires smaller farms; this increases the population in a community and gives more pleasant social surroundings, builds up better schools, better churches and better county roads. Truck growing benefits all other business enterprises because it produces more per acre, and these products when sold in distant markets, bring foreign money into home circulation. It does not require such heavy expenditure for land investment, so that men of moderate means may become owners and make better and more contented and useful citizens. "Successful truck growing requires fewer acres, but they must be fertile. Certain things are essential to plant growth—phosphorus, potash, nitrogen, sunshine, air and water. In most of our Middle Tennessee soils the supply of phosphorus is sufficient. Our red clay subsols are well supplied with potash. Deep plowing and deep-rooted plants like clover and peas, will make that available for all needs. The air is full of nitrogen, and the great Creator has given us the leguminous plants whose leaves absorb it from the air, and the roots place it in the soil for the growth of other crops. God gives us the air and the sunshine at the proper season and sends water from the clouds sufficient every year for crop growth, if we will only work to save it. This we can do if we make a reservoir to hold it in the soil by deep plowing, making the soil loose and spongy by turning under stable manure and crops of green vegetation and then give level surface cultivation, often repeated, to hold the water from evaporating. Improved farm implements have taken away the old-time break-breaking hoeing and hand-weeding from the truck growing, so now it is not such hard work. Reliable seeds of all kinds can now be obtained at all costs the cost of professional growers. This is much better than sowing our own seed. There are some other branches of farming that dovetail in with truck growing very closely and profitably. One of these is dairying. This fits well. Dairying is peculiar the work of the early morning and late evening, while truck growing suits the sunshine part of the day. Truck growing requires little land to cultivate, while the cows can use the other parts of the farm for pasture, making it more fertile every day until it comes back into the rota able to produce paying crops. Much of the refuse of the truck garden, by the use of the silo, makes the very-best food for the dairy cows while the refuse from the cows' stale makes the best food for the truck garden. No business we can follow will build up and make land fertile so fast as dairying, and no business we know of can use that increase [Image of a baby sitting in a bowl] Byrd Douglas Waterman, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Waterman, born February 26, 1911, died January 9, 1912. fertility to better advantage than truck growing. "There is another side line that fits in well with truck growing and adds to its profits. This is home canning. A small home canning outfit can be made very profitable in saving many fruits, berries and vegetables that would go to waste. If there is a glut in the tomato market and they are bringing only 20 cents a bushel, stop selling; can the surplus, put them away for winter and get $2.00 per bushel. If your snap beans do not pay to take to market, put them in cans and get a good price. Do the same with sweet potatoes, pumpkins, Hubbard squash, pears, peaches, grapes and apples. The process is simple, the work is easy, and the profit is sure. "I thank you for your attention." J. N. MERONEY. SPORTS. ANDREW J. (KID) MITCHELL.

Chicago, Jan. 10.—Jack Johnson was an angry champion to-day when he read the reply of James J. Corbett to his accusation that the former ring idol tried to bribe him to fake. Jack was so perturbed that had Corbett been around there probably would have been a lively mix-up involving an old and a newer idol of the ring. "Corbett says I faked with Kaufman and Ketchel, does he?" shouted Jack, when he reached O'Connell's gymnasium in the afternoon. "Well, tell him he's the liar, not I. If that fellow were here now I'd give him a punching. He knows I told the truth and that I could beat him the best day he ever lived. "So Corbett plans to start a libel suit when he gets here in ten days? I just wish he would. I'll prove everything in the affidavit I made and will be only too glad of the chance. If Corbett wants to settle it any other way, let him come up to O'Connell when he gets here and we can prove in the ring which one the fakir and which the boxer. I'll box him for nothing, with or without spectators." The champion scaled in public today in boxing togs for the first time since the Johnson-Jeffries fight eighteen months ago. With about three pounds of stage trunks and shoes on, he tipped the beam at an even 229 pounds. This made it certain that he scaled within a few ounces either way of 229 pounds, which he claims is much lighter than when he started to train for the battle at Reno. MURFREESBORO NOTES.
