A DISTINGUISHED CHURCHMAN PASSES TO REWARD NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. Bishop Gaines Answers the Call. DIED AT HIS HOME IN ATLANTA JAN. 12 Host of Collegues and Fellow Ministers Pay Last Respect—Bishop Evans Tyree Attend Preached Fare- well Sermon. Special to the Globe. Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—On Friday, January 12th, Wesley John Gaines, one of the oldest bishops in the African Methodist Church, passed away at his home on Houston street, in this city He had been ill only a short time, and his death was somewhat a surprise to his most intimate friends. Although well advanced in years he was in apparent good health. He was well-known in this city, having lived here many years as well as other places in the state. He was an aggressive churchman and never compromised with wrong. At the last General Conference of his church he was appointed to the first district which consists of the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine. He had only recently returned from his work and was spending the winter at his home in Atlanta. Bishop Wesley J. Gaines was born in Wilkes County, Georgia, October 4, 1840. His parents, Wm. and Louise Gaines, the former a Methodist and the latter a Baptist, raised him in slavery. He was converted at nine. His boyhood was spent on the plantation. At eleven he mastered the alphabet in a week, learned to write from a copy book, and to read while sick, studying the Bible. In 1855 he removed to Stewart County, Ga., and in 1856 to Muskogee County and dated his call to the ministry to this time, when he was wont to preach funeral sermons over dead birds and animals. He married in 1863 Miss Julia A. Camper who made him a helpful wife. They had one child, Mary Lousa. He was ordained to preach in 1865, admitted to the South Carolina Conference in 1866, and ordained elder in 1867. He filled many positions of trust in his church. He was elected a bishop at Indianapolis in 1888. Bishop Gatnes was a well-informed, plaus and eloquent preacher, of imposing presence, and of blended politeness and dignity. He possessed both administrative and creative capacity of a high order and adds to his energy, firmness and ability excellent tact and discretion. He did some remarkable work in getting money and building churches. In his ministerial labors it is estimated that he raised $400,000 for the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Early in his pastoral career he wiped out a debt of $4,500 and completed Cotton Avenue Church, Macon, Ga.; built St. James Church, Columbus, Ga.; at a cost of $10,000; erected Bethel Church, Auburn Avenue, at a cost of $25,000. He is an author, having written several well prepared and valuable productions, among them being "African Methodism in the South." "The Negro and the White Man," "The Gospel Ministry." He traveled extensively in this country and Europe, visiting many of the leading cities of England, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France. The funeral of the deceased predate brought to Atlanta many of the leading men of the African Methodist denomination. They came from all parts of the country to do honor to the distinguished citizen and churchman. Bishop Evans Tyree, M. D., D. D., of Nashville, Tenn., was chosen to preach the funeral. He chose for a text the 35th verse of the 5th chapter of John, which reads as follows: "He was a burning and a shining light; and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light." Bishop Tyree had been an intimate friend of Bishop Gaines for a number of years, and was well prepared to preach his funeral. The text chosen in itself sets forth the character of the deceased, and Bishop Tyree handled the subject in a masterful way, thereby inspiring all who heard him to new hopes and greater endeavor. The order of exercises which was carried out almost in toto was as follows: Hymn. "Servant of God, well done" (No. 486). Rev. H. Y. Arnett; prayer, Bishop John Albert Johnson, D. D; 1st Scripture lesson, Eccl. 12:1-7, Rev. M. W. Thornton; 2nd Scripture lesson, 1 Cor. 15:35-58, Bishop W. H. Heard, D. D; 6th; obituary by Bishop F. P. Lee, D.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. MUCH SUFFERING AMONG THE POOR Relief Given By Leading Men and Women at Odd Fellow Hall. Suffering among the poor, unfortunate and destitute during the cold days of the past week has been pathetic in the extreme. Those who saw the destitute condition among the people's admit that not in the history of Nashville, at least, not since the days of reconstruction, has there been more suffering from cold, and hunger for shelter among the poor. The condition in this city, according to statements picked up here and there, was so alarming that some big-hearted members of the race were moved to action in behalf of the unfortunate. Prominent among those who led off in the movement to relieve the sufferers were Preston Taylor, of Taylor & Co., Undertaking establishment, and R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board. These gentlemen state that they did not know the extent of the suffering until pitiful appeals and heart-rendering stories were poured at their respective doors by women and children, many of them declaring that they were positively refused shelter, food and clothing at the office of the United Charities. It is said that at the headquarters of the United Charities they were told that they had all that they could look after in caring for the poor whites and the money contributed by the city and county was not sufficient to relieve the suffering among the whites. After a prolonged consultation between Preston Taylor and R. H. Boyd over the telephone, as Rev. Taylor was confined to a sick room and could not be out, they decided in their magnanimous hearts that they would in spite of the many embarrassing circumstances, divide what they had individually and collectively with the poor of color in Nashville. For the benefit of the suffering people, the bi: Odd Fellows Auditorium at 447 Fourth avenue, North, was thrown open. Two stoves were at once lighted, and the spacious room was heated and all were invited to come in out of the cold, Hurried orders were sent to grocery stores, meat shops and coal yards for provisions and coal necessary to relieve some of the suffering. A commissary where the wants of the poor were supplied, even clothing being furnished, was a reality, and was kept open night and day. In one day orders were given for more than three hundred bushels of coal, from two to three hundred were fed daily, while scores and scores were supplied with clothing. Among the first to come to the rescue of these two big-hearted men, when it was noised around the city that the place was opened, was Miss Battle of the United Charities, who contributed provision and clothing; Mr. Goodpasture and mother gave $5.00 each; Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard, of the Meharry Medical College, sent a cash donation and clothing; and Miss Ida D Mallory sent $5.00; Mrs. Epps, of Trimble bottom, sent one basket of clothes; Prof. Hale, President of the State Normal School, gave a cash donation, and there were several others who made donations. Each one who came for assistance, regardless of when and how they were assisted, was given an order for enough coal to last through the zero weather, these orders were good on any coal vard in Nashville and were immediately paid when presented at the office of Taylor and Company. Some heart-rending cases were reported from various sections of the city. For instance, Mr. and Mrs. Green Anderson, an aged couple, at 162 Wharf avenue, were found in a destitute condition and Mrs. Bandy assisted Preston Taylor in looking after this couple. Dr. Taylor telephoned Mrs. Bandy and she like a good Samaritan went immediately to the scene. Mrs. Georgia Jackson, a widow, was found at 528 Sycamore street, with four small children, said to be without shoes, and with nothing to eat.

A case where a boy proves to be a hero was that of Mrs. Novela Davis, an aged woman living at 113 Church street, under the viaduct, is being supported by her grandson, a ten-year old boy. He is attempting to pay rent, buy food and clothing for both of them on the small salary of $10.00 per month. Alice Spears and Dicy Buchanan, 1919 Jo Johnston avenue, received the attention of the charitable efforts being put forth as did also Lillie Mason, 316 Eighth avenue, North. Another scene that would move the stoutest heart to tears was reported Saturday night when the police picked up a half-starved, half-frozen colored boy eleven years old, who said he had been deserted by his mother and left to starve and freeze. The boy was carried at midnight to Preston Taylor's where he was given shelter. Wednesday morning a search was made and it was found that his name's John Willie Irwin Wood, and his mother really had forsaken him, claiming that she was unable to support the two and that they would both fare better if separated. The boy was still at Taylor and Company's Wednesday night. The temporary quarters were kept over the better part of the week. there are others, in far all of the religious put will be represented.

MR. BRYANT OFFERS NASHVILE AN OPPRTUNITY ACT OF CHARITY EXTENDED Colored Man Dies at Goodwin- White Man Borries Him. Special to the Globe Godwin, Tenn. Jan. 16.—Here, as elsewhere, the people are forced to remain in doors in an endeavor to keep out the chilling blast of this article weather. Only those who through dire necessity are forced to travel, are to be seen upon the streets. Only two deaths recently, one a little girl, the four-year old child of Mr. St. Johnson. It seems that everybody was out of the room save this little child, her clothing caught fire and she was burned to death. Oh! why it it, that parents seem to be so very careless? Another death of a distressing nature is to be recorded from here. The facts, so far as we can learn, are these: a young man came here from Montgomery, Ala., an entire stranger. He found refuge in the home of Mr. J. N. Moore, a well-to-do farmer of this place, expecting to go to work as soon as possible. The poor fellow, whose name is Henry Gibson, was taken sick soon after arriving here, and remained at the home of Mr. Moore until his death which occurred last Friday. Mr. Moore called upon the county authorities for aid to bury this man, but was refused. He thereupon took it upon himself all the expenses of the funeral and the poor fellow received a Christian burial. A stranger among strangers in a strange land. Mr. Moore is a white gentleman, the stranger a colored man, and not employed by Mr. Moore. Here, then, is an act of Christian charity which is growing more and more perceptible in this Southland as the years roll by. Mr. Moore, by this noble deed, has demonstrated the truth of the saying that the Negro's best friends are right here in the South. MR. RUFFIN'S CENSUS WORK PRAISED. Mr. Marcus W. Ruffin, who was one of the West Tennessee appointees, has recently received a letter from Mr. John W. Farley, of Memphis, commending his work as an enumerator. The letter reads as follows: Marcus W. Ruffin, Esq., Mason, Tenn. Dear Sir: As it was my pleasure while serving as Supervisor of the Census for this District to appoint you as a Census enumerator, during the recent United States Census, you are doubtless interested in the results of the tabulation made by the Census Office, and I take pleasure in informing you that within the past few days the Director of the Census has issued the first bulletin based on the results of the work done in this District. Should you desire a copy of this bulletin, or of any other bulletins which will be issued from time to time during the coming year, I suggest that you write Hon. E. Dana Durand, Director of Census, Washington, D. C., stating that you served as an enumerator and ask that he send you this bulletin. It also gives me a great pleasure to inform you that the work done by you was highly satisfactory to me and to the Bureau at Washington. This is to me a source of special gratification, and I desire to express to you my sincere thanks and gratitude for the paints-taking care, faithfulness and loyalty with which you discharged your duties as an enumerator and merited the confidence reposed in you when I selected you to serve in this position. At your convenience, I shall be glad to have you call at my law office and give me the opportunity of personally thanking you and at the same time explaining in detail some of the matters disclosed by the Census. I assure you that if I can be of service to you at any time, I shall be pleased to render it. COUNTY TEACHERS MEET.

Printing Here PROPOSES TO SAVE MONEY TO CHURCH No.3 Delegey Coming to See the Plan as Feasible One-Part of Plan as Outlined. With the turn of events it seems probable that, beginning with the quadrennium of the A. M. E. Church that will begin after the adjourning of the Conference that will convene at Kansas City in May, that all the printing of that Church will be done in Nashville. Mr. Ira T. Bryant, who is finishing up his first quadrennium as Secretary of the Sunday-N-School Union of the A. M. E. Church, with headquarters in this city, has made a proposition to his Church that is as clear-cut, from a business point of view, as possible, and one that it is believed will receive the approval of the delegates of the General Conference. To use Mr. Bryant's own language, the plan in part is as follows, as suggestive of a remedy for laws made by the last General Conference and which have not worked smoothly: If you should ask us how they are to get better support, in the face of our statement that the church is already doing as much as she is able to do, we might refuse to reply, prefering to confine ourselves here to the question of publishing interests, and not discuss our newspapers. If you should insist, we would give it as our opinion that the thing for us to do at Kansas City is to apply a bit of common sense, look the matter of our financial weakness "squarely in the face" and decide to abolish either the Christian Recorder, the Southern Recorder, or the Western Recorder; take $1,000 of the money now going to the abolished office, giving $500 each to the remaining two as a subsidy, the remaining $350 keep in your Financial Department. Abolish this senseless practice of issuing a special Missionary Department paper—the Voice of Missions—and provide for a certain amount of space in the two Recorders for the Secretary of this department. One Central Publishing Plant—What It Means But we started out to discuss "our one big manufacturing plant," the subject nearest our heart, the one, we believe, that offers the greatest opportunity for increasing the revenue of any that will come before the next General Conference, and the one we are anxious to interest you in, to the and that we can get it well before those who are to constitute the Kansas City gathering. Let us remind you that the Church has given us, a layman, all the honor within its gift, and we cannot possibly be influenced by other than most altruistic motives, inuring this plan upon the church; we can have nothing but the purest motives—the interest of this old church so dear to our heart—in advancing a reform that means such in increased burdens and responsibilities without increased emoluments. Our Reasons Illustrated. What a Single Management Means. Single Management Means. A single management of ur two houses simply means that the work will be so divided that best results will be obtainable. To illustrate: Neither the Book Concern nor the Sunday-School Union has enough of the hard-back book work, such as our disciplines, hymnals, etc., to warrant it in buying the necessary machinery to do a job of this kind; as a result, the union, when it gets a job of this kind, must content itself with setting the type, executing the press work, folding, and sewing while the cases, etc., must be made and supplied by white concerns. On the other hand, our Book Concern is positively unprepared to do any part of the work, but must sub-let the entire job to the white man. A single management for our two houses would mean that all work the Book Concern could not handle, would be sent to Nashville, where our own boys and girls are employed, rather than to white concerns. Then there is a class of work, such as calendar-making and fine cut work, etc., that could be gotten out to better advantage at Philadelphia, where we would be in close touch with high-class engravers, lithographers, etc. Putting several houses under one management is nothing new. The M. E. Church has houses in Nashville and Dallas, Texas, both under the direct management of Smith & Lamar; The American Baptist Publication Society has houses in four or five cities other than Philadelphia, but all under one single management; the great Western Methodist Book Concern composed of houses in four or five cities, all under the same management; the same can be said of the great Methodist Book Concern of New York; and why this talk about the plan not being practical in the maintenance of two little Negro printing plants at Philadelphia and Nashville?

They are just the things to remind her of her own beautiful likeness. We are still prepared to ship these dolls immediately upon receipt of your order for the same.

LA GRANGE NOTES. Jones Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, located four and one-half miles from town on La Grange and Bolivar road, held its annual meeting December 31. The church property valued at $1,500 with membership of 185. The church is running smoothly under the pastorate of Rev. R. Branch, of Raleigh, Tenn. The regular church services are held every fourth Sunday, paying pastor $213.00, and during the year $425 was raised. Rev. Branch was re-elected fro the coming year.

Harvey superintendent, and Mr. Will Waddell, secretary, Mr. Jim Couch, of Grand Junction, Tenn., and Miss Susie Winston, or La Grange, were quietly married at the home of the bride, January 3, at 5:30 p.m. Rev.

Zion Baptist Church installed their newly elected pastor, Rev. J. T. Martin, formerly of Clarksville, Tenn. It will be observed that through the united efforts of Rev. D. A. Townsend, one of the leaders of Franklin County, there has been erected a beautiful edifice at the cost of $1,500 and same is paid for. The first Sunday in January was the day set apart to install our pastor. Scripture reading, Rev. R. M. Robertson; Rev. D. P. Pearson, of Nashville, Tenn. preached a sermon from Matt. 11:29, $0. Rev. Wm. Simmons, of Dechard, delivered the charge to the pastor, which was very impressive. Rev. D. P. Pearson delivered the charge to the pastor, which was full of thought. Rev. M. V. Hawkins, of the A. M. E. Church, delivered the welcome address on behalf of the city ministers, which was very encouraging. Then, Rev. Wm. Cannon, in very befitting remarks, introduced the pastor, Rev. J. T. Martin, who in well-chosen words expressed himself as being pleased with the outlook for a prosperous year's work. The choir rendered excellent music for the occasions. Collection for the day, $30. The people of Winchester are proud of Rev. D. A. Townsend, for his fatherly advice and helping them procure this beautiful edifice for worship. May he live long to do good for the church and his race, Rev. D. A. Townsend was master of ceremonies; Rev. J. T. Martin, pastor. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Townsend pleasantly entertained with a dinner is their beautiful home on the evening of the 6th inst., in honor of their mother, Mrs. Matila Garner, who has been visiting them for several months and will return to her home in Chattanooga in a few days. Among those seated around the elegantly appointed board, where a delicious menu of six courses was enjoyed, were Prof. and Mrs. D. A. Townsend, Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Stamps, Mrs. Matilda Garner, the honoree guest, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Townsend. After a few social chats each one departed for their hopes expressing themselves a pleasant evening spent. The splendid advance that race papers have made within the past few years is exemplified in the excellent Christmas numbers that a number of them issued. These special issues were all up-to-date in every instance, and each carried a large volume of advertising. The New York Age published a 16-page issue, while its contemporary, The Amsterdam News, also got out a very excellent edition. The Indianapolis Freeman dished up 20 pages of reading and advertising matter for its readers, while the Dallas (Tex.) Express set the Southwest a pace by getting out a big edition. The Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel also published a holiday number, and the Atlanta Independent got out a 16-page issue, nine of which were all advertising. The Nashville Globe published a 24-page edition, and the Journal-Guide, of Norfolk, Va. showed its enterprise by getting out a special issue. Good news service, interesting articles., as well as the advertising, contributed to make these special issues the best that have ever been put forth. It calls attention to the fact that capable man who makes journalism a profession is forging ahead in the management of race papers. Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 8.—The Negroes of the southwest section regard General Powell Cayton. Arkansas member of the Republican National Executive Committee, as perhaps the strongest friend they have in all matters touching their political rights. For 46 years and more, General Clayton and members of his family have stood for the full manhood rights of the Negro. He has worked during all this time with such leaders of the Negro race as J. E. Bush and others of that character in this locality. His voice in behalf of the Negro has rung out clearly, and there has never been any equivocation in his position with reference to these rights. At a recent meeting of the Republican National Executive Committee, General Clayton opposed the change in the rule of government and based his objection primarily upon the injustice which would be inflicted upon the Negroes, not only in the South, but of the entire country by having the seal of approval placed upon their disfranchisement by Democratic legislators. He scored the "rank injustice of supplementing Democratic disfranchisement of American citizens in the South by corresponding disfranchisements in our conventions." Continuing, General Clayton said: "In this connection, I am able to show in round numbers, based upon the census of 1910, the Negro population in some of our northern and doubtful states, namely: Massachusetts, 28,000; Connecticut, 15,000; New York, 154,000; New Jersey, 90,000; Pennsylvania, 194,000; Ohio, 111,000; Indiana 160,000; Illinois, 109,000; Missouri, 157,000; Kansas, 55,000; Maryland, 232,000; total, about 1.285,000." "Thee colored people of these and other states would be more than human if they did not resent at the polls such rank injustice, which, together with what their brothers in the South are enduring, would seem to justify them in making terms with the party into whose keeping their rights seem already to have been relegated. "The efforts to change the rule of apportionment do not appear to have originated with the Republican masses, nor even with the local conventions that appoint delegates, but with the delegates themselves. "I am glad to see from newspaper announcements that Senator Bourne or some of his friends, who may be delegates, contemplate the revival of this question in the next National Convention, in which case I hope the question will be thoroughly thrashed out and not confined to any five-minute rule, such prevailed in the last, so that it may be finally settled, and whatever harm, if any, may have resulted from the close vote upon the proposition in the last convention may be completely removed." Although General Clayton is himself heartily sincere, he is at the same time somewhat handicapped in his efforts to secure exact justice by the support of such men as Ceil Lyon, of Texas; E. C. Duncan, of North Carolina, and John G. Capers, of South Carolina, all of whom are known as "Lily Whites" absolutely opposed to according the Negro even the right to appear in Republican conventions. Many Negroes would like to see Gen. Clayton's politics win, and would at the same time like to see destroyed the political power and influence of these rank Negro haters. THE GENTLE ART OF SHOPLIFTING WORRIES MERCHANTS OF NASHVILLE. In a story published in the New York World recently it is estimated that the shoplifters of the metropolis cause a greater loss to the big department stores of that city each year than burglaries. It is estimated that fully $200,000 worth of goods are taken from the stores by these persons—mostly women, too. Jut at the present time, right here in Nashville, the merchants are more or less disturbed over recent events in this same line. Only yesterday two shoplifters were apprehended in a big department store, and within the past two weeks in the various stores of Nashville six of these clever thieves have been detected. While, of course, these thefts in Nashville do not aggregate anything like those of a similar nature in New York, at the same time, the aggregate is sufficient to cause the local merchants to "sit up and take notice." It is a sad commentary on the citizenship of Nashville, too, that in this connection the shoplifter is, in a majority of cases, a member of the so-called better element. The discovery of a missing article from off the bargain counter, or from among the better grade of stocks, is usually made among violent protests of innocence and threats of prosecution. But all this vanishes when the stolen goods are produced from beneath the cloak or out of the pocketbooks or bags carried by the shoplifter, and instead of protests and threats the miserable shoplifter resorts to tears and prayers for mercy, temptation in the future. The shoplifter, in a majority of cases, does not have to steal, and the politest way it can be explained among the well-to-do is that the shoplifter is "kleptomaniac." This explanation, however, does not lessen the loss to the merchant. At this busy season the Nashville merchants have employed many persons who do nothing else except watch the counters and the customer who is kno'n as a "lifter." One would be surprised to know how many persons in Nashville are on the "suspected" list—and there are quite a few. The merchants know them and they never go into a store to make a purchase that they are not followed from the time they enter till they depart, for in no way can the merchant be sure that he is not being imposed upon—and then sometimes they "get away with it." The policy of the keepers here has been to dismish shoplifter with as little trouble as possible, but at the same time to press upon her mind—for she is usually a woman—that a second offense will mean im- prisonment and disgrace. This has been rather effective in the past, but the merchants are losing patience—and considerable goods—and here after the shoplifter in Nashville may find that the "easy way" to shop is a veritable path of thorns. A SPLENDED ACHEIVEMENT. CHOSE FARMING AS A PURSUIT—WORTH OVER $100,000 WHEN HE DIED—GAVE LIBERALLY FOR EDUCATION. All Tennesseans will be proud to learn of the achievements of one of her runaway slave boys, in the person of George W. Smith. A lengthy account of his career as given in the Press-Democrat, of Broadlands, Ill., is given for the benefit of the many readers of the Globe. In the issue of January 6, the Press-Democrat says: The life of George W. Smith, the aged and wealthy colored man, who died a few days ago near this village, was unusually interesting and remarkable in many ways. The fact that Smith had no early opportunities and yet succeeded so well in the material things of this world should be an inspiration to others of his race. He was born a slave near Selmar, McNairy County, Tennessee, Dec. 3, 1836. At the early age of nine years, together with his six brothers and sisters, he was sold from his mother's side. As a chattel he brought the sum of $501.50. It was his duty then to accompany his purchaser's children to school and to act as their playmate. During study hours he was allowed with other slave boys if they so liked, to sit on a bench in the rear of the room. Even at that age he saw that education was something worth having and he sat there and absorbed all that went on. To spur a laggard the teacher one day jokingly remarked that even George knew the answer to a question. When asked, George did know it, and especially all sums in arithmetic put to him thereafter. His aptness was the pride of the children, but the slave owners, hearing of it, gave the teacher orders to keep young George out of the school room. It was then a penal offense to teach a slave to read and write, and often to destroy the ability to write, the offending slave's first finger on the right hand was cut off. He was considered too young to punish. The interested teacher slipped the bright boy a book with orders to hide it in his shirt when he heard anyone coming. This was the extent of his schooling, but he saw to it that his children received a good training even to the extent of a state university education, if they so desired. Shortly afterwards he was sent to work as assistant to the miller, a skilled and paid employee. He was not assistant long; in a few years the miller was set out and George Smith became the miller. Milling was his task until the spring of 1862. Then he learned that a party of Confederates were coming with the avowed purpose of killing him, because he knew too much. So he took down his squirrel rifle (he was an expert markman) an tramped off to Shiloh where he saw his first service a scout in the Union army under General McClelland. He acted as guide for General Logan in Tennessee and Mississippi. Losing his hea th he came to Springfield, III, where he met and married Mrs. Mary E. Gaines, who was a fitting companion in his successful efforts to establish a home and to rear an honorable family. With keen foresight he chose farming for his life-work. At first it was on a small scale; he farmed in summer and chopped wood in winter. The day was never too cold for him to work, up long before daylight, he would often walk four miles to the woods, wait for daylight to come, work until noon, eat his frozen lunch, chop a hole in the river ice to drink, and when night would come, three to three and one-half cords of wood would be the result of his day's labor. In the spring of 1876 he moved to the Broadlands tract of land and the following December settled on that part of his farm which has ever since been his home. At that time Broadlands was wet and swampy, and the paying for the first 80 acres was the most difficult task of his career. But he paid for it and continued to buy until his farm property, called "The Trail," consisted of 440 acres together with personal property of an estimated valuation of $116,000. He was among the very first to adopt tile drainage, to appreciate the value of clover as a crop. He was remarkably successful in growing corn and in raising hogs. On account of their quality, his light and heavy hogs were widely known. And during these years he did not forget the meager educational opportunity of the little boy sitting behind the school house ready to hide his book in his shirt. He spent more money than any other man in the township and considered it well invested. Physically he was an athlete. Six feet and more in height, broad of shoulder, deep in chest, supple in movement, he had the strength of two ordinary men. CARL B. LEWIS WINS PRIZE. Chicago, Ill.—The prize offered for the best essay on "Colored Authors: Who They Are, and Their Contributions to the World's Literature," was awarded to Mr. Cary B. Lewis, the well-known newspaper writer and correspondent of this city. The essay was read at a big literary meeting, held under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U. of Chicago. The prize was a pair of diamond studded cuff buttons costing quite a snug little sum. It was admitted on all sides that Mr. Lewis' essay was not only the very best ever heard in this city on the subject in point of fact and data, but was easily the best rendered. He commanded the attention of the magnificent audience before which it was read. The recipient of the prize is connected with the Illinois Chronicle, but for a number of years was identified with the Freeman of Indianapolis.

FRIDAY, JTANUARY 19. 1912. The Bryant Proposition. The Bryant Proposition. We call the attention of all who are interested in the welfare of Nashville to the article on another page setting forth the proposition Mr. Ira T. Bryant is making to the A. M. E. Church to concentrate all of their printing in their publishing house in this city. Mr. Bryant realizes that Nashville offers greater opportunities to his Church to publish and disseminate literature than any other city in the country. He has, therefore, with his keen insight, submitted a cold, business proposition to his Church, and one that it seems the most skeptical can grasp at a glance The matter of publishing church literature is one that is attracting the attention of the world. A few years ago any kind of a pamphlet or newspaper would be acceptable to Sunday-schools and churches. In those days it was largely a matter of sentiment on the part of church people; but that condition is changed with other conditions in this new age. The change was brought about largely by independent publishers, and the general intelligence of the people has also had something to do with it. A few years ago some men conceived the idea that money could be made out of publications that are used in churches and Sunday-schools; consequently these men set about to publish quarterlies, tracts, books and, in fact, every conceivable thing that to their minds could be used in Sunday-school work. In the short space of twenty-five years these concerns have built up a business that has startled the printing fraternity. They appeal to the intelligence of the people, and as private concerns, they are in a position to concentrate their business, cutting off all dead weights, which enables them to give to the people in many instances better literature, with more reading matter and at cheaper prices than the denominational publishers can furnish them. Many of the denominational concerns have long since taken steps to offset this competition. The A. M. E. Church, however, has all of these years maintained two publishing houses, one in Philadelphia, and one in Nashville. Mr. Bryant comes forward and proposes to take the work of both and concentrate them under one roof and one management, and thereby save to the Church a great expense, and at the same time, put the department in a position to publish literature at less cost than it has been possible for them to go heretofore. If this plan carries what does it mean for Nashville? It means that twice as many people will be employed at the A. M. E. Publishing House as are employed now. Furthermore, it will turn to Nashville thousands of dollars that are now going to other cities. At least one of the church papers that is published weekly, would be located here with its editors, clerks and secretaries. All of the printing of the Missionary department that is now being done in New York City would be done in Nashville. All books, tracts, blanks, and other literature that are used in the Church and now published in Philadelphia would be published in this city. It would add a new impetus to the church work as well, and would boost the publishers' figures in this city many thousands of dollars. Nashville has a good opportunity to land this business. It behooves the Negroes of this city to get busy and see to it that no stone is left unturned to convince all that Nashville will take good care of such an institution if entrusted to her. It should also be made known that there are more denominational publishing houses in this city than any other one city in the country. And the fact should not be lost sight of that these kindred concerns are always in a position to help each other. The TWO MORNING PAPERS IN THIS CITY USE DIFFERENT COLORING white publishers are kindly disposed toward their colored brethren. They have never been known to refuse to give any information or to grant any favor asked if in their power. Every encouragement possible is given to the Negro publishers in Nashville. We would not say that this is all due entirely to friendship, but is also due to the fact that there is no competition between these publishers. All have their constituents, and are free to give aid and information; and coupled with this is that broad and sympathetic spirit that is exerting itself daily between the blacks and whites in the South. The proposition is a feasible one, and should appeal to any business man, and especially to the delegates who are to attend the General Conference of the Church in May. Not because it will bring this publishing house to Nashville, but because it is a clear-cut, business proposition, and one that will not only be a benefit to the people of this city, but to members of the Church throughout the world. Bishop Gaines. The death of Bishop Gaines removes from the stage of action one of the stalwarts of the race, and a churchman who never tired in his efforts to keep the African Methodists interest before the world. As a citizen he stood exceptionally high in his nome city and state. He was a strong champion of right, and was never known to yield to wrong on the part of any one. Bishop Gaines put a great premium on character. Men differed with him on public questions and some styled him tyrannical, but the man has not yet been found who would for a moment entertain you if you attempted to besmirch the character of Bishop Wesley John Gaines. No better testimonial of his worth need be desired than that exhibited by his host of colleagues and fellow churchmen who gathered round his bier to pay their last tribute of respect. Help for the Needy. The cold weather that has prevailed for several days in this city and throughout the country has rendered many in a state of need. The Negro, as a rule, does not complain and very seldom goes out to beg. He will suffer and endure hardships without a murmur. But the fact remains that he suffers. He takes cold, which often turns into la gripe, or pneumonia, which make him a fit subject for tuberculosis; and in after years he becomes a burden to the people. A few pennies spent by those who have plenty to aid these people in these hard times would mean more to them than one can imagine. It would also more to society than ap- The full report of the Nashville Tennessee and a partial report of the Nashville Democrat of a law class examination are given below. COLOR LINE DRAWN BY LAW STUDENT "I'd rather never have a license to practice law in this or any other State than to obtain it by sitting in a class room for two days and taking examinations in company with Negroes," declared Joe M. Lynch, seven-sixteens Cherokee Indian, of Stillwell, Okla., President of the newly graduated law class of Cumberland Law School, Lebanon, upon going to the United States District Court room Thursday morning and finding four Negroes in the class of applicants. Mr. Lynch, in whose veins course an amount of pure Cherokee Indian blood, almost equal to that given him by white ancestors, emphatically refused to take the examination in company with Negroes. He will leave for Oklahoma to-day or Saturday, maintaining his refusal to accept an opportunity to secure a Tennessee license to practice law by entering the mixed company that faced him Thursday. Mr. Lynch's action in refusing to enter a mixed examination, which created quite a sensation, was warmly approved by many of his classmates, about twenty of whom accompanied him to Nashville to take the examination. However, it was "up to" the others to take the Tennessee examinations, and they did so. The State Board of Lax Examiners composed of H. H. H. Cook, of Franklin; Robert Burrow, of Bristol, and James L. McRee, of Memphis, were at the Federal building at 10 o'clock to conduct the examinations. Four Negroes had appeared to take the work and make applications for licenses. Mr. Lynch, who graduated at Lebanon only Wednesday night, with high honors, and who had looked forward to taking the examinations and passing them easily, had to balk when he saw the Negroes in the class. He informed the Secretary of the Board, James L. McRee, that he would most certainly not enter a class numbering Negroes, and walked out. Several of his classmates accompanied him to the hall and assured him that with them it was a case of necessity, and that if they could help themselves they would also refuse. pears at a first glance; for, when they suffer and are rendered helpless, somebody must wait upon them. If they have consumption the persons who wait upon them endanger their lives and they, in coming in and out of the sick room, carry the germs, and some weak person with whom they come in contact may be affected. Whereas, a little money spent and a little charity work, done now will prevent many of these cases. We are told in Holy Writ that it is the duty of the strong to help the weak, and that when we have plenty we should give to those who have not. PROF. TOBIAS WRITES ABOUT NASHVILLE. Editor Nashville Globe: We would be pleased to express, through the columns of your most excellent journal, our pleasure and profit in what we witnessed and enjoyed during our recent visit to your city. We were the guest of Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Clark, in whose beautiful and most comfortable home we were most cordially received, and the recipient of their most generous hospitalities. We were given every reason to believe, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that we were among friends. We were pleased and delighted also to accept the invitation to occupy a seat at the table at which we were wont— No Signs of Peace. Millions of dollars have been set aside for the promotion of universal peace. An organization has been formed and a mammoth building constructed where the ablest minds of the world can assemble and discuss permanent peace. It may be that the darkest hour that comes before dawn is now passing in the history of the world; if it is not so, then there are no signs of peace. In China we have a civil war. Italy is crushing the life out of Turkey. Russia, as is her custom when opposing a weaker nation, is crushing the life out of the Persians; and we learn from the dispatches that Austria does not feel kindly disposed toward Italy. Mexico is not through with her troubles; and the usual rows are going on in Central America. And these are not all, it seems; for the startling news has been flashed from one corner of our country to the other that war is threatening the United States and Japan. Added to all this, the runner has gained circulation that the United States has her eye on Cuba and is desirous of taking over the island. Maybe peace is nearly at hand; but to the causal observer it appears that it is many generations away. Yet, let us hope that we will have peace, and that men everywhere will learn to recognize their fellowman as their brother; for, without this we can have no peace in the truest sense of the word. That it is dangerous for races to mix was never more clearly exhibited than it was in the case of the half-breed Indian who became so indignant that he could not take a law examination in the same room with Negroes. Of all the asses that have come out of Oklahoma this Cherokee Indian-Caucasian as is the biggest. Democrats are getting together in Tennessee. Now listen for the old time yell. But so long as they do not raise too much "Georgia" all will be well. Is our coal bin empty? Don't all answer at once. The reports are given to show the difference newspapers can make in reporting the same thing. FIFTY CANDIDATES TAKE EXAMINATION. (Nashville Tennessee.)

Editor Nashela Globe: We would be pleased to express, through the columns of your most excellent journal, our pleasure and profit in what we witnessed and enjoyed during our recent visit to your city. We were the guest of Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Clark, in whose beautiful and most comfortable home we were most cordially received, and the recipient of their most generous hospitalities. We were given every reason to believe, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that we were among friends. We were pleased and delighted also to accept the invitation to occupy a seat at the table at which we were wont—in our opinion—to style the Boyd's Christmas family reunion dinner." We had the pleasure on this occasion of seeing Mr. Santa Claus pay a special visit to Mrs. R. H. and Mrs. H. A. Boyd, and leaving them, as his compliments a valuable pair of diamond earrings each, and an extra diamond ring for Mrs. H. A. Boyd. We attended every service held at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church durer stay, and was highly benefited in every way. Dr. C. H. Clark, the pastor of the above church, is unquestionably one of the most influential and philanthropic divines in Nashville's pastorate. The Sunday-school is a model of Christian progress. Its services are made conspicuous by the enthusiastic interest perceptible in every class. Sunday evening, the 31st, the occasion on which the Rev. Dr. B. F. Riley spoke to a very large gathering of the colored and white citizens at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, was the climax of the service which we had the pleasure of witnessing. Dr. Riley left an impression on all long to be remembered. We could not close without expressing our pleasure in an opportunity to visit the Nashville Globe office while in the city. It was our pleasure to meet one of the Nashville Globe's managers, Mr. W. L. Miller, who received us kindly and spoke very encouragingly and hopefully of the outlook for the Globe. He expressed himself as desiring a wider correspondence on matters of local interest, as a means of increasing its number of readers and enlarging its field of circulation. We agree with Mr. Miller; we believe that in proportion as a newspaper becomes interested in the local matters and important mentionings of a city, town or village, the people of same become interested in subscribing for and reading said paper. Any journal anticipating a large, circulation must see the wisdom of soliciting and publishing, through some correspondent, the local news of interest in the city or town or village, where it is desired to have the paper circulated and read. Mr. Miller impressed us very favorably as a man of sterling business qualities and a student of the optimistic class. We are of the opinion that the Globe with such a management, Messrs. Hart, Boyd and Miller will live to do incalculable good in the elevation of the race, and the ad vocation of their cause, in the journalistic arena. We wish for the Globe an uninterrupted success, with a liberal support of the race. On our return from Nashville we were obliged to take the next train to Chickamauga, Ga, where we had accepted an invitation to appear on the programme to be rendered on the occasion of the celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation, as orator of the day. We spoke to a large and enthusiastic gathering of the citizens of Chickamauga, Ga, upon the subject, "The proper use of our freedom." The message was enthusiastically received. Yours for success, T. W. J. TOBIAS. Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 3, 1912. RELIGIOUS MEETING AT ME- HARRY. The regular monthly religious service of Walden University was held at Meharry Auditorium on Sunday morning, the 14th inst., and the sermon was preached by Dr. Ira Landrith, Regent of Belmont College, who spoke on the importance of heeding the call of God, who is able to invest us with the power necessary for the discharge of the duties which may fall to us. The attendance was large, consisting of students of the several departments, together with a large number of persons of the city, all of whom felt edified by such a soul-inspiring discourse. The Y. M. C. A. of Meharry was very ably addressed on Sunday afternoon, January 14, by Rev. J. D. Bushell, D. D., of the First Baptist Church of East Nashville. The words of the preacher were full of power, and were most encouraging to the young men, who will long remember the very valuable instructions received. During the past week the Nurse Training School of Meharry added one new student to its list—Miss Lula Armstrong, of Oklahoma, having been admitted Monday, the 15th inst. An additional building in the rear of the Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital is being fitted up by the Hospital Club, for the accommodation of the nurses, and when finished will be very tasteful in appearance and complete in equipments. The beautiful three-act drama entitled "The Adjuster," the production of Mr. W. B. Saunders, of Meharry, and which was very brilliantly rendered at Meharry Auditorium some weeks ago, will be produced at Mr. A. N. Johnson's "Majestic Theater" on the evening of February 2nd. A very large attendance is expected, for Mr. Saunders has gained very great popularity as a playwright and the enthusiasm over his plays is very intense. BRILLIANT RECEPTION A most enjoyable event was the brilliant farewell reception given by Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Singleton to their sister, Mrs. W. S. Crosby, whose secret marriage last spring, at-Gallatin, was announced the first of the year. For the occasion the house was glowing with the lustre of many lights, and the handsome furnishings were more pronounced by the superb decorations. In the parlor and reception rooms white and pink carnations were lavishly used, while in the dining-room the central ornament of the dining table was a huge pot of narcissus on an elegant battenberg square. Throughout this room ferns and narcissus were used, carrying out the color scheme of pink and white in the entire decorations. Recreating with Mrs. Crosby were her mother, Mrs. Amanda Marr, Mrs. D. B. Baker, of Gallatin, Tenn., Mrs. W. H. McGavock and Miss Mattle Scales. The guests' register was kept by Miss Bella Berry, and a register of presents by Miss Martha Grisham. The dining-room was presided over by Medames S. P. Harris, W. R. Baker, Albert Johnson and Miss Belma Mahan, where a most palatable and elaborate menu was served. Souvenirs of white satin ribbon bows were pinned on each guest as they left the dining-room by Miss Eleanor A. Battle. The guests on entering were met by Mrs. W. B. Vassar, who introduced them to the honoree and the receiving party. The bride presented a beautiful picture of girlish loveliness in a handsome gown of white grenadine trimmed in message line silk, fringe and lace, and carrying a bouquet of white carnations. Her only ornament was a string of pearls. Mrs. Crosby is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Amanda Marr, and for several years has made her home with her brother-in-law and sister. She is a graduate of the city High School and has, since its incipiency, been one of the most valued employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board, being at the time of her marriage one of the proof readers of this institution. She is also well-known in Nashville's musical circle, having been organist of the chapel exercises of the Publishing House and a member of the choir of the First Baptist Church. She possesses a sunny disposition and an attractive personality, which have won for her many loyal friends, whose good wishes she carries with her to her new home. Dr. Crosby, although a native of Texas, was reared in Denver, Col., where he received his education, having finished the literary course of Denver University, after which he spent two years in the medical department of the same university. Desiring to hold a diploma from a Negro school he came to Nashville in his junior year and entered Mehary Medical College, from which he graduated with the class of 1911. In pursuance of his chosen profession he located at Lynnewood, Okla., a most where he is enjoying a most successful practice. Mrs. Crosby left the city Tuesday evening at 7:55 to join her husband at Wynnewood, Okla., where they will make their home. An immense collection of gifts including silverware, cut glass, linen and household furniture attested the esteem in which the couple were held. SHELBYVILLE NOTES. SHELBYVILLE NOTES.

Jones returned from Nashville last Saturday, where she has been several days looking after business matters. Her health seems much improved, and she will probably take up her work again soon at Turner Normal. Rev. J. H. Smith, the treasurer of Turner Normal, was the treasurer of the present status of things to delight at the college, being greatly packed with boarders and the room packed to accommodate to accommodate the student comfortably. He left for Chantanooga the same day. The banquet of the Ladies Court of Calanthe at the Blas-Jones Exchange last Thursday night was a brilliant affair.

Promptness and cleanliness is the motto of The Pekin Tonsoria Parlor "EUREKA" IN OUR New Style Church Seatings M For a number of years the National Baptist Church Supply Company has been dealing more than $20,000 for cabinets and seating machinery, erecting buildings, training men, etc., we set out with the earnest desire to find a style method, etc., that would meet the popular demand, and we believe that "we have found it" in our new style church seats, Nos. 2, 3 and 4. FRONT VIEW OF NEW STYLE NO. 2. The above cut is an exact photograph front view of our new style church seat, No. 2. The body of this church seat is about the same as our famous 401 pew body, has all of the comfort of the finest pew and highly finished in golden oak. These seats can be made in any length, but cannot be made in circular seating. FRONT VIEW OF NEW STYLE NO. 3. The above shows an exact photograph of our famous new style church pew No. 3. The body of this pew is made up the same as our No. 401 pew body, except that it cannot be made in circular seating. The pew is made up of two strips that strips the same as our No. 9 and No. 11 pew ends, except they have not the carving and ornaments that beauty and make value to the church. We have upon the market. This pew is beaded in golden oak, gloss finished and is an ornament to any church. It can be designed and finished, according to the desire of the church. It is both beautiful and comfortable. To this back can be placed, if desired, book and envelope racks, the same as the finest pew. Prices are given estimates made up from the length desired. A FRONT VIEW OF A NEW STYLE NO. 4 CHURCH PEW BUILT UP OF OUR NO. 9 PEW END AND 402 BODY. The above cut shows a pew any length from 4 to 8 feet, made up from our No. 9 pew and 402 pew body because in a pew of that length there is no need of seat supports or center divisions. These pews can be made in any length from 4 to 12 but if the pew is over 12 feet long, it necessitates putting in a centre division, and all pews 8 feet or longer should have centre seat supports under the same.

Hill Grocery & Baking Company are num- bered among Nashville's most worthy and substantial enterprises. The force they employ is a small arm in itself.

Their prices are the lowest of the low. They cater to all the people all the time. The personnel of their managers is par excellence. Courtesy is the watchword. No customer is slight- ed whether he be millionaire or the man in rags. CLASS NO. 10 OF MT. OLIV TERTAINED BY THEIR T ER. MR. S. P. HARRISO Class No. 10 of the Mt.

The exercises began at 8:30 o'clock with invocation by Brother R. P. Carter, after which Brother Harrison made a very interesting address to the class, subject, "Love." He showed the children the effect of love for the Sunday-school, and he told how he went out and urged those who did not attend to come to the Sunday-school.

The wedding bells will ring out again on the 17th, inst., and guess who will be at home at the corner of Church and High streets, sometime after that date? Now comes Leap Year, when by right, almost as ancient as Magna Charти, woman has the right to speak for herself. The dilatory man must be at home his mind to meet the issue. He cannot take refuge in flight. There are not enough desert islands to hold all the bachelors. He must grit his teeth and face the music Charge maidens! and let no elegible man escape. If any bachelor is left unpropped and unbraided by the end of 1912, it will be taken as evidence that no one wants him. “Man's extremity is woman's opportunity,” says Ealtimore Sun. Mrs. W. D.

SPORTS SQUARE DEAL FOR JOHNSON J. Blaine Boyd. I am sure the fight fans of New York for one time are being denied the pleasure for which they all are very anxious, and it is very hard to see just why such action should be taken in Johnson's case alone. People everywhere like to see the best of everything. It cannot be denied that Johnson is the greatest fighter of the day. I am sure Jack Johnson has brought the art of boxing up to a higher standing. The sporting public of New York should come forward and demand a square deal for Jack Johnson. SPORTING NEWS.
