DISTINGUISHED VISITORS' STOP OVER IN NASHVILLE. A party that was representative in the truest sense of the word stopped over in Nashville the first of the week en route from the mid-winter conference at Tuskegee to their home in Winchester, Ky. The party consisted of twelve visitors who were escorted through the State by Miss Frierson. The majority of the party were members of the school teaching force at Winchester. With them was one business man, and two or three others were leading citizens. They expressed themselves as feeling benefited by having attended the conference at Tuskegee, but were desirous of stopping over in Nashville in order that the trip might be called complete when they returned home. They visited several of the schools and business enterprises here, and are all speaking their praise of the progressiveness exhibited by the Negroes of Nashville. The party consisted of J. H. Garvin, Mrs. J. H. Garvin, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Taylor, Miss L. W. Randals, Mrs. C. E. Colerane, Rev. H. D. Colerane, Mrs. A. M. Drummer, Miss F. M. Allison, Miss C. J. Frierson, Miss A. C. Johnson, Mrs. J. B. Benton and G. H. Gwinn. TRACK EXTENSION MEASURE PASSES. Bill That Caused Controversy for Awnile Gets Through Council. Nashville Terminal Company will now be allowed to extend tracks in Harrison street, the City Council having passed the bill providing for the improvement on third reading Thursday night. Several others were passed, many given first reading and one was introduced. The Terminal Company bill, when up at the last meeting, was the cause of considerable discussion and expressed opposition on the part of several Councilmen. The vote last night was 18 ayes, 4 noes, taken with no remarks from the members. Other bills passed were: Introduced by Councilman Kinney: Introduced by Councilman Kinney: Authorizing the City Recorder to lease the city scales to the highest responsible bidder, provided the bid is not below $1,000, beginning January 1, 1913. The bill was at first introduced with the idea of allowing the scales to be leased this year, but was later found impracticable. Board of Public Works: Two bills appropriating $5,000 for construction of a 33-inch sewer in Alley 345, between Stockland and Meridian streets, running north. Vote, 24-0; and appropriating $2,000 for a sewer connecting with the Pugsley branch trunk sewer, running to Twelfth street, between Sevier street and Ashworth avenue. Councilman Flanigan: Increasing salary of the city inspector of marketing from $1,200 to be not less than $1,500 and not more than $1,800. The salary will probably be $1,500, as this amount has already been appropriated in the budget for this year, though the matter is left in the hands of the City Health Department. A number of bills were given first reading, in which the Board of Public Works asks $241,865 to be appropriated from this year's budget for expenses during the next few months. Among the articles to be bought if the bills pass are two automobiles for the board and Mayor of the city, coal for fire, waterworks, light and other departments, building fence on Fourth avenue side of old City Cemetery, buying auto patrol and ambulance combined for the City Hospital and Police Department, automobile fire engines, automobile for City Disinfector, are lights and a number of other supplies for different departments of the city's concerns. Also $59,000 was asked to purchase the O'Keefe property to be used in the Capitol Boulevard. The bill regulating charges to be made by taxicab and public automobile drivers in the city, the one providing for changing the name of Ramsey street to Donelson avenue, providing for three additional sergeants on the police force were also given first reading. One new bill, providing for an additional clerk in the office of City Treasurer, salary $1,200, and his services to begin March 1, this year, was introduced by Councilman Flanigan. L. AND N. TO BOOST NASHVILLE BUT VICE PRESIDENT INTIMATES CITY IS ALREADY KNOWN THROUGHOUT WORLD. Eugene Shannon, Secretary of the Board of Trade, recently communicated with the officers of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in regard to that company helping in advertising Nashville. Wednesday he received a communication from Vice President Mapother, stating that Nashville was already so well known throughout the country that it did not need any advertising, as the Board of Trade wants to keep the City of Opportunity before the people of the country, he would take the matter up and try and help the Nashville Boosters.

Morgan Shuster, the deposed Treasurer General of Persia, who is here on his way to the NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JANUARY 26, 1912 EWING-WILSON MURDER CASE NOW ON TRIAL ABLE LEGAL TALENT EMPLOYED Large Crowd Witness Proceedings—Every Move Casefully Made Prince and Will Ewing, Father and Son on Witness Stand. The case of the State vs. Will Ewing and Prince Ewing, farmers of the Hermitage District, who are charged with the murder of Rufus Wilson, another farmer, whose property adjoins the Ewing farm, was called in the Criminal Court Tuesday morning. It will be remembered that Will Ewing, the son of Prince Ewing, shot Rufus Wilson in a controversy over a line between their farms, which had been settled in the court in favor of Wilson. No evidence was introduced Tuesday, the whole time being devoted to selecting the jury and preparing the State's case. Attorneys F. M. Bass and Little Russ are assisting General Anderson in prosecuting the case, while the defendants are represented by W. H. Washington, W. C. Cherry, T. G. Lackey and Taylor G. Ewing, the latter being the brother of Prince Ewing, one of the defendants in the case. The jury selected to try the case is as follows: Elmore Godsen, J. M. Shocklett, A. L. Travis, W. A. Killow, J. A. Underhill, Wm. O'Brien, T. M. Hill, E. B. Wilson, S. R. Hill, M. T. Hill, J. D. Page and Chas. Vester. The legal talent secured by the defendants and also by the State is evidence that the case will be stubbornly contested. All the parties in the case are very prominent in the Hermitage District. The Ewings, as well as the Wilms, are of the oldest families and are both highly respected. The feud, it seems, arose over a plat of land that had been allowed to Rufus Wilson by the Chancery Court. At the time of the killing a great deal of excitement arose over the incident, owing to the prominence of both families. They have all lived in that neighborhood for many years, and were industrious as well as prominent. Mr. Ewing, aside from being a farmer, has for many years practiced law and been engaged in other public pursuits. Mr. Wilson was a prosperous farmer; they both had large families and were getting along splendidly on their farms. People were alarmed because they did not believe that such feeling could arise between these neighbors. Will Ewing, who did the shooting, is a mere boy, between 17 and 18 years of age when the tragedy occurred. He was arrested with his father and lodged in jail, where they remained until bond could be fixed. The case is attracting widespread attention now, and friends of both sides are anxiously awaiting the outcome. Many witnesses were introduced at the Wednesday session of the Court. Among them were two eye witnesses, viz. Price Robinson and Alfred Wilson, the later being a son of the victim. From the evidence introduced by the State it appears that several days prior to the shooting Rufus Wilson, whose farm adjoins that of Prince Ewing, had won a lawsuit in the Chancery Court concerning the boundary line between the two farms, in which the Chancellor had entered a Writ against Ewing, which writ was put into the hands of the deputy sheriff; in consequence of which the deputy and Wilson put a line fence between the properties. The next morning, however, the fence had been torn down and the old boundary line re-established. It is alledged that when Wilson discovered this he set about to change the line as the deputy sheriff had ordered the day before, and when Will, the son of Prince Ewing saw some one moving the fence or working in that vicinity he approached to see what the trouble was. At the Thursday morning session Mr. Prince Ewing was put on the stand in his own defense. He was questioned closely as to every detail of his whereabouts and his actions on the day of the killing. It developed that he left home about midday to do some collecting for an insurance company, and in the afternoon took a train to come to this city to make a report at headquarters. While here he learned of the trouble between his son and the Wilsons. He stated that he telephoned out to the Hermitage District to find out what truth there was in the rumor. Mr. Ewing denied all knowledge of any intent on the part of his son to kill Wilson. He admitted that he had three guns in his house, one of which was a toy rifle, commonly known as an air-gun. He also admitted that he bought some shells for the air-gun shortly before the killing. He was asked several questions as to his knowledge of law and as to his knowledge of the decree of the Court. Mr. Ewing was cool and well-collected, but his face showed the effect of the ordeal through which he was going. It also could be seen from the expression of his face that his whole soul was centered on his boy, who was to follow him on the stand. Mr. Prince Ewing was kepp on the stand from the time the Court opened until about half past eleven o'clock, when Will Ewing, the boy who did the shooting, was called. He does not appear to be more than from 15 to 16 years of age, although he has admitted to have been 18 in May, 1911. His youthful appearance seemed to have a wonderful effect on everyone in the courtroom, and his even temper and clear knowledge of the case were wonderful. He showed no fear whatever, but evidenced that innocence that covers the face of a child. He didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the case. His attitude was of one that felt that he had done a duty well. He was questioned in detail about the tragedy. He gave a clear account of all incidents happening before the fatal day, and with a pointer explained to the court all of the surrounding country where his father's farm was located and that of Rufus Wilson. He pointed out the paths, ravines, bridges, trees, and where the fence ran and where the change was made. He told of the condition of the weather just as freely as a child would tell a story he had read in a book. When asked to tell all he knew about the killing and to explain how it happened, with out a moment's hesitation he gave his version of the tragedy, which was in effect that Will Ewing left his home with his gun expecting to find a chicken hawk that he had seen that morning. That when he reached a certain point he saw some men at the spot where the fence line had been changed, but who they were he did not know; so he approached them to see what they were doing, and that when he was within a few feet of Wilson, he (Wilson) drew his gun on the boy, Will Ewing, and that after Wilson had leveled his gun at him, he, Will Ewing, fired the fatal shot. He could not be shaken from the testimony. No manner of cross-questioning could move or excite him. His coolness gained the admiration of the Court. Whatever the outcome may be, it must be admitted that Will Ewing made an excellent witness in his own defense. The Court adjourned Thursday at noon. The case will probably be finished this week, as it has been announced that another celebrated murder case is to be taken up next week. In the meantime, the friends of both sides will await anxiously the result. DELANEY ANSWERS LAST ROLL CALL! By W. W. Naughton. San Francisco, Jan. 25—Billy Delaney is dead at his home in Oakland. When this news is flashed around the world everyone who has even a slight knowledge of what has happened during many years in connection with the sport of the glove will know who is meant. Delaney's fame is widespread. He was possibly a bigger figure in the pugilistic world than any of the men he helped to gain the heavyweight crown. Of him it can truly be said he made the unmade champions. Beginning that September night in New Orleans, now twenty years ago, when bear knuckle milling went out of vogue and boxing with gloves became the recognized method of deciding the world's premiership, there have been eleven heavyweight championship battles. There have been other so-called championship affairs, notably the Fitzsimmons-Maher, Burns-Squires and Johnson-Burns, but only eleven in which the blue ribbon was passed along hand to hand, as it were. In every one of the eleven bouts Billy Delaney was behind one or the other of the men and during all this time he was behind one loser. That was when John Corbett was defeated by Bob Fitzsimmons at Carson. Delaney trained and seconded Cor- NEGRO NORMAL HAS BRIGHT FUTURE. With the possibility of a state summer school conducted in this city for the benefit of teachers in Middle Tennessee, and with the assurance of the opening of the Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College early in September, things educationally begin to show a better condition in Nashville. In fact, moves are already being made by which the city as well as the county is to take on other advantages. While it is true that Tennessee has been the last Southern state to turn its attention oward the educaton of the Negro youth in any established state school, and while other states have had the lead in point of years, the completion of the state school and its opening in September, as promised, will put this state in a class near the top, not only for the size of the institution and the amount of money invested, but for the class of industrial school, as it gives promise of being thoroughly equipped and well regulated. It is being said Congress will be solicited to assist in the establishment of an agricultural experiment station in connection with the Negro Normal. There are over one hundred acres of the most fertile farm land in the state connected with the school on which such a station could be well located. It is also expected that assistance to this state school will come from the Peabody Fund, the General Educational Fund and the Anna T. Jeans Fund. In other words, it appears that the opening of the state school means the beginning of a new day, for the Negroes of Tennessee who have long been deprived of the proportion of the educational fund. BISHOP PHILLIPS SPEAKS IN PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN IN KENTUCKY. Bishop C. H. Phillips, the resident bishop of the C. M. E. Church, was in Madisonville, Ky., last week, being called there by Mr. I. Bailley, a prominent citizen to deliver a lecture on "Prohibition." Bishop Phillips delivered two lectures in the Sam Jones Auditorium, one exclusively to colored people and one to a mixed audience. Rev J. F. Dean, Judge Givens and the state representatives from the county also spoke at both meetings. From the despatches it appears that the efforts of the prohibitionist were winners. Madisonville, Ky., Jan. 24.—(Special.)—The "drys" were victorious in the local option election here today, winning by a majority of 148 votes, after one of the hardest fought campaigns the city has ever witnessed. The day's program by the victors started with services in the churches at 5 o'clock this morning and continued throughout the day. Hundreds of school children paraded the streets all day, carrying banners worded in various manner, singing songs and the ladies joined in with prayer service and were active at the poles. When the result was announced several thousand people, assembled at the courthouse, broke into cheering, and the demonstration was one the like of which was never seen here before. Tonight a big meeting was held at the tabernacle, the building being crowded to overflowing, and the victory was celebrated by speeches and songs. The majority was one vote less than two years ago, when the city went dry by a majority of 149. The colored people took an active part in the fight, and to them much credit is due for the victory, as the colored vote is large. N. C. AND ST. L. BUYS NEW ENGINES. The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway has recently installed several new engines to handle the "Dixie Flyer." These engines are the largest in the South and put the N. C. & St. L. in the front ranks of railways. With these new engines the grades between Nashville and Chattanooga will be made easier and the comfort of passengers increased the comfort of passengers increased. This line is making many other improvements in all departments. DR. AND REV. HENRY A. BOYD IN CANADA Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and Rev. Henry A. Boyd, Assistant Secretary, are in Canada attending the annual conference of religious publishers in session in the city of Toronto. bett for his matches with Sullivan, Mitchell and Fitzsimmons. He prepared Jeffries for his championship bout with Fitzsimmons at Cooney Island and was with Jeffries in every fight he participated in except the disastrous one at Reno. While under Delaney's care Jeffries won the championship and defended it no less than six times. His opponents were Fitzsimmons (twice), Corbett (twice), Sharkey, Ruhlin and Monroe. After Jeffries retired from the ring a coolness arose between big Jim and his old trainer and manager. The breach was not healed by the time the Jeffries-Johnson fight took place at Reno and there was astonishment throughout the sporting world when it was learned that Billy Delaney had been engaged as Johnson's principle second. It is the consensus of opinion that the fact of Delaney being in Johnson's angle of the ring had a depressing effect on Jeffries and aided materially in his defeat. TENNESSEE'S LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL No. 4 NATIONAL SEMINARY No.4 FOR THE BAPSISTS SOUGHT BY NASHVILLE. Located Here by the Convention. Supposed it will be Connected with Roger Williams University—Promise of $30,000 to Aid Such an Institution — Nothing Tangible Done Yet. Will 1912, which has opened so beautifully upon the Negro Baptists, see the establishment in reality of the National Baptist Theological Seminary, the much talked of institution among the Baptists of this country? The one who can correctly answer this question would be rendering the city of Nashville much service, because the people have been held in suspense. A number of years ago the news was hurled forth that this city was to not only be the home of the largest state school for Negroes in this country, the headquarters of the Missionary, B. Y. P. U. and Publishing Boards of the Baptists, but that it was to become the educational center or the educational headquarters of the Baptist denomination also. To many this was in reality a claim based upon facts and not fiction. Several arguments had been made, supported by a calculation when looked at from the correct viewpoint, that amounted to the establishment of such a school. Was there not Rev. T. J. Searcy, the President of the Tennessee Missionary and Educational Convention, an active pastor, who really held Tennessee well in hand, as chairman of the Educational Board? Then was there not Roger Williams University, beautiful and imposing, located on the banks of the Cumberland River, with sufficient opportunity and sufficient room in this, the greatest opportunity offering city in the South? Did not the Baptists put as secretary of the board one of the most forceful platform speakers in the person of Sutton E. Griggs, who has devoted at least two strenuous years in an educational campaign for the university. This is the trend of an argument made in this city by several of the leading Baptists, who are chafing under the statement that move after move and place after place are being made somewhere to check or thwart the plan of the masses of their denomination. The city folks are still holding out stretched arms ready to invite to Nashville any worthy institution or enterprise that means advancement, development and stability to her resources. It is stated that the Rev. Mr. Griggs made a report on the Theological Seminary and its prospect at their last annual convention in Pittsburg. It is also stated that he showed that some funds were in hand, but whether this was enough to retain or to claim the offer of $30,000 made for the est. filishment of this institution was not stated. In fact, nothing definite seems to have been done. No site selected, no building plans made, and no university—simply the educational Board with its headquarters here. THE GHOST HUNT. Dednesday, the 24th inst., it was rumored by the Nashville Tennessee that a formidable, dreadful and unearthly something, which could be nothing other than a ghost, with a vision potent enough to discern objects a quarter of a mile distant making itself feared and known by a terrible whirring and awe-inspiring noise, from the escaping of the winds from their master, Aeolus, had been seen for fourteen nights continually in South Nashville, on the Lebanon road, between Mt. Olivet Cemetery gate and Brown's Creek, about 11.30 and 12 o'clock each night. Since its nocturnal exercise consisted in chasing only "niggers," a crowd of level-headed young men (about forty in number from all parts of the city) decided they would like to be chased by this monster. So they turned their footsteps towards the Mt. Olivet Cemetery gate and patiently waited from 10:15 to 11:15 last Wednesday night, but no appalling ghost came. No, not even a night warbler was heard. Nothing was seen only a small grey kitten peacefully winding its way homeward. The only sound heard at all was the mournful sound of their disappointed and retreating footsteps retracing themselves homeward. Perhaps the spook was tired, compassionate, or had ended his furlough and had returned to the shades of Hades. But one thing is certain. These young men have decided that until they have seen for themselves this unearthly creature, that they will not believe nor sanction any such rumors. ection Plates for Church or Sunday School : ms Ee = eS ‘ ne eran peek os These collection plates are made of ‘thoroughly seasoned selected, ‘best grade stock.

(Journal and Guide.) On Wednesday, January 10th, the stockholders of the Virginia Beneficial and Insurance Company met at the home office on Queen street, Norfolk, Va., after one of the best business meetings ever held by this corporation, they proceeded to elect officers for the year 1912. The officers elected were as follows: E. C. Brown, president; M. R. Jackson, vice-president; J. T. P. Cross, secretary and manager; C. C. Dogan, treasurer. The following named persons, together with the officers, will constitute the board of directors: Rev. A. L. Gaines, of Baltimore, Md.; Dr. J. J. France, of Portsmouth, Va.; W. H. C. Brown, George R. Moore and J. W. Baker, of Norfolk, Va. The secretary's report showed the company to be in a most excellent shape and that there was an increase of nearly four thousand dollars ($4,000,00) in business for the year 1911 over the year 1910; it showed that the company was able to set aside a surplus of $9,548.67, almost equalling the paid in capital of ten thousand dollars ($11,000). The company owns valuable real estate on Church and Queen streets and have eleven thousand dollars ($11,000) worth of Norfolk city bonds deposited with the insurance department of this state for the protection of policymakers. Immediately after the adjournment of the stockholders' meeting, the gentlemen were invited to the Philadelphia House, where a splendid course dinner had been arranged. Cover was laid for twelve. Wit and humor reigned and as the gentlemen left the table, they were loud in the praise of the management of the company and expressed great confidence in the future. C BROS.

The women of Maryland and other sections of the county and for that matter other parts of the world have been very much in the limelight for some months, past, in their effort to secure for their sex, the elective franchise. In the main, popular opinion has favored the contention of the women and we believe a majority of the men today in Maryland would support an amendment to the state constitution which would grant women the ballot. We have been very much interested in the gallant fight the women have been making for the ballot, but there now comes to light a new plan as these men open headquarters at Annapolis, to make their fight for a state suffrage bill. It now comes to pass, that the women also have the colorfobla and even before they get the ballot themselves, they plan not to give it to the colored women of the state. This is the women's play to the galleries seeking to catch the favor of a few Negro haters in the legislature at Annapolis. It would seem to us the women of the state would have stood better in the eye of all the people, had they gone in for a ballot for women, without drawing a line anywhere. But since the bill is to have an educational test as a qualification for voting, let it be known, the colored women of the state only ask that the test be rigidly applied to both black and white allike. We ask no special favors, or any special legislation based on the fact of our color. All we ask is for the authorities to apply the law allike to black and white.—Afro-American Ledger.

The only punishment he received for the part he played in the outrage was imprisonment in Yorkville jail four Poultry Notes. This is the best time to begin selecting breeding stock for next year season. The egg-producing hens are the ones you want. When you find one on the nest just mark-her. If you are working fertile eggs for hatching purposes, see to it that too many hens are not given to a single male. The fault of overcrowding is one of the most fruitful sources of eggs that will not hatch. Save every bit of the manure. Keep it dry and put it on some crop next spring. Worth its weight in gold. When your hens lay soft-shelled eggs it is a good indication that you are feeding too much corn. Change the ration and feed more green food, such as beets and cabbage. It is an easy matter to feed hens well, but to feed them well enough to secure your winter eggs is an art you will have to learn. Dampness in your poultry house will check your egg flow. Good ventilation and frequent change of litter is a good tonic. Don't become discouraged over mistakes, mistakes are object lessons, they point out facts very plainly to the close observing, and should become steps for progressive. But remember the smart person never makes the same mistake twice. Of course you are half smart, so apply the rule. Good Rules to Follow. In raising poultry or stock of any kind it should be the aim of every one to keep it healthy and improve it. You can do it very easily by adopting some system rules. These may be summed up in the brief as follows: 1. Construct your house good and warm, so as to avoid damp floors and afford a flood of sunshine. Sunshine is better than medicine. 2. Provide a dusting and scratching place where you can bury wheat and corn, and thus induce the fowls to take the needful exercise. 3. Provide yourself with some good healthy fowls, never to be over three or four years old, giving one cock to every twelve hens. 4. Give plenty of fresh air at all times, especially in summer. 5. Give plenty of fresh water daily, and never allow the fowls to go thirsty. 6. Feed them systematically two or three times a day. Scatter the food so they can't eat too fast or without proper exercise. Do not feed more than they will eat up clean, or they will get tired of that kind of food. 7. Give them a variety of both dry and cooked feed. A mixture of cooked meat and vegetables is an excellent thing for their morning meal. 8. Give soft feed in the morning and the whole grain at night, except a little wheat and cracked corn placed in the scrat hing places to give them exercise during the day. 9. Above all things, keep the house clean and well ventilated. 10. Do not crowd too many into one house; if you do, look out for disease. 11. Use carbolic powder occasionally in the dusting bins to destroy lice. 12. Wash your roosts and bottom of laying nests and whitewash once a week in summer and once a month in winter. 13. Let the old and young have as large a range as possible, the larger the better. 14. Don't breed too many kinds of RAISING PIGEONS FOR PROFIT. Tuberculosis is a rapid wasting of esh, labored breathing, occasionally a cough, but always diarrhea. It is due to insufficient good or excess of bad food, poorly ventilated lofts, filthy water, lack of exercise and filthy lofts. Cod-liver oil is the sovereign remedy for the disease, given in capsules. Buying a lot of pigeons cheap from a party who "wishes to quit the business," is very often a case of buying a lot of cock birds. Buy only guaranteed mated pairs. Utility Pigeons says that after verifying its figures with many breeders, it finds that it costs close to thirty cents to raise a pair of squabs to marketing age. This includes the total expense with the exception of the work of the sanitary care of the plant and the feeding. Picking, shipping, marketing, feed, express and all other items are included. This is on the basis of five-pair-a-year production. Every additional pair would therefore mean just so much clean profit. Sidney Johnson says that he does not use trap nests, for they sometimes catch the wrong bird. He does not catch when driving, as two cocks as two cocks will drive, and he has had two hens pair up. His methods is simply this: Put into a loft such birds as are about of the same grade. When a pair mates, builds nestsmest When a pair mates, builds a nest and actually lays eggs, catch the hen on the nest and band her. She will usually remain on the nest until after she lays the second egg. Then tack a card on her nest with the number on it. After the cock begins to sit, catch him when actually on the nest or as he files off, and bband him with the same number his mate has. They are now duplicate number banded. The cock is banded on the right leg and the hen on the left. Also put a colored band on their other leg for convenience in identifying when selling, or for ease in finding should an accident happen to one and it is wanted to take out the odd bird. Then move them into the breeding pen and they are ready to go to work. Arthur H. Cushman says that to work up private trade is a most de- years rather than betray the names of his comrades in the lynching party. He finally was released without trial. Sepauph carried a bullet from Roundtree's pistol to his grave. fowls at the same time, unless you are going into the business. Three or four will keep your hands full. 16. In buying birds or eggs go to some reliable breeder who has his reputation at stake. You may have to pay a little more for birds, but you can depend on what you get. Culls are not cheap at any price. 17. Save the best birds for next year's breeding and send the others to market. In shipping fancy poultry to market send it dressed—Exchange. POULTRY IS AN ALL-YEAR-ROUND SOURCE OF INCOME. There is one feature of the poultry business that should appeal to more farmers than it does, which is, poultry yields an all-year-round income. The same may be said of the dairy business. Both dairying and poultry raising are always in season so far as income is concerned. To be sure, it is all-year-round work, but the farmers have to keep fairly busy the year round in order to make a good living and have something to spare. From January to January, the hen may be relied upon to produce an income. Of course it all depends upon the management. To raise poultry the way our forefathers did will not produce it by any means. But the modern poultry plant has to do with the selling of product from the beginning of the year to the end. Well managed poultry produce eggs the year round. To be sure, there are times during the year when egg production falls off, but the season of low egg production is contemporaneous with the season when broilers and soft roasters are in the greatest demand—from June 1st to the holidays. The failure to get a full run of eggs is compensated by the ability to turn off orders for the table poultry. Rightly managed the returns from the sale of the cockerels, both as broilers and roasters, will pay all the cost of raising the pullets to the laying maturity, which is an item of income that is worth considering. The poultryman that has good stock from which he can sell hatching eggs and breeding birds even at the modest prices, may so manage his business that every month in the year will show a profit, either in actual cash returns or to the matter of adding to his investment. Advantage to Farmers. It would be of considerable advantage to farmers if they paid more attention to the business of poultry raising. That it is profitable, if sensibly and methodically pursued, has been demonstrated time and time again. A farmer's wife can easily earn sufficient money for household purposes out of her poultry, and even save something for a "rainy day." Apart from the profit, the keeping of fine poultry is entered into by English ladies as adding much to the interest of country life, and to the attractiveness of the country homes, and there seems to be no explanation why the fashion should not be adopted in American rural and suburban homes for the same reason. As a branch of farming that requires so little hard work, carries with it so much enjoyment, and takes up so little space, there is nothing equally as profitable that could take its place.—Exchange. sirable method of adding greatly to the profits of the plant. If one has a top-note article and gives good service on deliveries, he will be surprised to see the prices that high-grade customers will be glad to pay. As a matter of fact, every squab breeder should dispose of about twenty-five per cent. of his output to private trade, which, of course, should get the best squabs his plant produces. SOUTH PITTSBURG NOTES. The report from here some weeks ago intimated that Rev. William Hight married in Washington, D. C., during his recent visit in the month of October, 1911. Since then, we have been furnished with the facts of his secret marriage by a relative of the bride, with no objection to their marriage being published, as the manner met the disapproval of her parent. Rev. William Solone, better known in these parts as Rev. William Hight, married Miss Lydia Hawkins in Baltimoe, Md., October 24, 1911. Rev. W. W. Allen, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church of that city officiated. Rev. Mr. Allen resides at 604 avenue Clinton, Baltimore, Md. Miss Hawkins had been a student of Morristown College for two or three consecutive years, previous to 1910, when she went to Atlanta, Ga., and attended Clark University, 1910-11. After visiting an aunt (last summer) who resides at Berwind, W. Va., she went to Washington, D. C., early in September, last, where she remained until after the adjournment of the M. E. Conference which sat at Pulaski, Va., after which Rev. Solone or Hight as we know him, went to Washington, D. C., and accompanied Miss Hawkins to Baltimoe, Md., where the nuptial knot was secretly tied. Rev. Hight was once a student of Morristown College and in a few years a graduate of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. Rev. Hight is the present pastor of Randolph's Chapel M. E. Church at this place, and also principal of the city public school. Rev. and Mrs. Solone or Hight reside at the groom's father, Gus Hight, on Jasper Pike. News reaches here of the death of Mrs. Flora Marberry, near McMinnville. She is the wife DR. CLARENCE E. ALLEN. The many friends of Dr. Clarence Eugene Allen will be g'd to know that he has successfully passed the State Board of Dental Examiners of the State of Pennsylvania. He was the only colored applicant out of a class of 24 and has received license to practice in the city of Harrisburg. Dr. Allen is a Nashville boy and has by his tact and energy gradually pushed his way to the front. He began his education at Roger Williams University, afterwards entered Atlanta Baptist College, and graduated with high honors from that institution, receiving the degree of A. B. Dr. Allen then entered Howard University Dental Department, Washington, D. C., finishing with the class of 1911. He will immediately begin practice in the above named city, and his many Nashville friends hope for him abundant success in his new field of labor. of Mr. Jack Marberry, of this place, and left here a little more than a week ago, verv ill, accompanied by Mrs. Johnnie Bains, to her people there. Mr. Marberry and child have the sympathy of their many friends here. Our last week's report containing the notice of Mr. Albert Wagner's illness, had hardly gone to press when it was announced that he was dead. He died on the 16th and was buried on the 17th. Mr. Albert was a young man of sterling qualities and highly respected in the community. Rev. Mr. Ransaw, of Decherd, preached the funeral, which was largely attended at the A. M. E. Church. His body was laid to rest in the city cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Wagner are much grieved over the death of their only son. The grim reaper Death has claimed Miss Minnie Bonner, the daughter of Mr. Geo. Bonner, and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wash Bonner. She fell asleep Monday of this week a victim of a chill one day last week. She lived with her grandparents in Hamburg. Minnie's death was a shock to the community. All the district schools will close Friday, this week. Some of the teachers will hold closing exercises, while others will close with the examinations.

When you ask them about their manners they tell you that in Chicago, or New York, ‘or whatever city they have been to in the North, or have read about, the men do not give seats to ladies in street cars, Anyone who has visited these cities knows that to be true in most cases. It is also a fact that the newspapers in the North are begin: ning to notice that practice on the part of the men, and are condemning their attitude toward the weaker sex. A few years ago papers in Pittsburg, Penn. made a persistent crusade on men for crowding in and taking all the seats before the womer could get in, A woman is not as strong, physically, as a man. In the plan of creation, we are told in thé Bible that God made man first, anc @elivered into his hands every living creature on the face of the earth Men boast to this day of their su periority to women, With all o these things in his favor it look very unbecoming for a man to re ‘main in his seat and allow a womat to hold on to a strap in a street ca and be jostled and shoved from sid to side by passengers getting on an oft, Young Negro men should be th Jast in the world to refuse to siv their seats to Indies of their race for it is a fact that needs no com ment that Negro women and girl ate subjected to more insults, no ‘only on street cars but tn all publi places, than all the other women 11 the world. Our young men shoul remember this, and should never al low themselves to remain seated a Jong as there is one woman or git | standing. ‘It makes no difference what th station may be, she is a woman; an she is exposed to all the insults tha the rougher element of the communi ty has in store. It is the duty of th men to protect them against these in Aignities when it is possible, and a simple a thing as giving a seat i fa street car should never be over looked by any man, whether he b old or young, and especially 80 whe it is a young man. Our women will respect us as w respect them; they will honor uw when we deserve it; but no youn man who will retain his seat and a! low a lady to stand in the street ca 4s worthy of respect,norcan he o9 pect to be honored by women of hi race nor the people in general. _We-congratulate the Journal and Guide, of Norfolk, Va, on the instal- lation of a Unitype, a model of the Jeading typesetting machines. This 4s another evidence of progress in Negro journalism. inchines ta Geordie. On the first of this week four Ne groes were lynched in Georgia, three men and one woman. The only charge against them was they were suspected of having killed a white farmer. These ocourrences make the blood boll in the veins of the Negroe: of this country, and why it is that thousands of them do not turn anar chists no man is able to tell But there is some restraining influ ence, from some source, that holds the Negroes in check, and makes them look up, and be cheerful and hopefuls in the face of all these out rages, ‘Think of it! A woman ts lynched: ‘and she is found hanging at the en: ‘of a rope from the limb of a tre with her body riddled with bullets All decent men hide their faces ir ghame when they think of this con temptible outrage, White men at well as black men deplore such oq eurrences, but they continue to fa pen, not only in Georgia, but from ‘one end of the country to the other T° NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26 1919. Te has ceased to be sectional, The North, East and the West are guilty valike it has ceased to De Tactal; [white and black suffer the same out: ‘rages. It Is true that Negroes suffer to a greater extent. Hundreds of ‘Diacks are lynched for every white person; bat the title was when all of the mob victims were black; and the fact that nome whites are lynched ‘now only proves the extent to which this diabolical practice will go. Un- ess it is checked. ‘The question arises, Whom does it concern? and the answer comes ‘back: It concerns the American peo ple; and then the next question is. ‘How can the practice be stopped? and ‘there we ate lost for an answer. At ‘times It appears that lynching is on ‘the wane, that sentiment 1s growing ‘strongly against it, and then an out: Durst here and there causes a doubt jto arise; for the frequency of lynch- ings and burnings in Oklahoma. ‘Texas and Georgia particularly, dur- ing the last few months, is enough to cause the most optimistic to lose heart. But yet, when man remem: ders that the God of the universe still lives, and is just toward all, the hope returns that these outrageous prac- tices can be broken up in this coun- try, and that the people of our fair land everywhere will recognize the supremacy of the law. It behooves the Negroes of this country to counsel on this question. We have for years adopted the plan of abuse, but we should be convince! by this time that that plan is a failure, and steps in other directions should be taken, ‘The Negro newspapers are gaining in influence, And in this dark period it is incumbent upon the Negro pit |lishers of mewspapers to get togethe: Jad in an impassionate way couns®) | what they belleve to be the best poll }ey to pursue to create a sentiment | against’ lynching. || Tteanhot be expected that the mass |}es of the Negro people will tolerat | nening and butchering of | thel omen If they do, they are not »j worthy: of citizenship.

They got $5 each, when they expected $100 and not less than $5) each, ‘But times are hard, and the tenants did not make up as large a purse as usual. | All of the sixty help go $5 each, |. The six elevator men soon thought ‘better of their hasty action, and want ed their jobs back. In explaining pe conduct, one of the men said when seeking to recover his job: “Why, T never got less than $50 al Christmas, and often as much ag $100. I had even borrowed money on the strength of this for genera Christmas expenses. It was a slight indiseretion on our part, T know, bu won't you please let me have my jol back?” But the explanation did no work. The men were not taken back Their places were filled by others aud they will have to get out an¢ hhustle for other jobs, with thousand of others who are doing that disa greeable stunt.

For sometime the colored people ot Newport News have been without a decent place of amusement, where they could go and sit down and enjoy a first-class show. About three years ago, one of our enterprising eltizens took a hold ot the matter and fitted up a building which was used as a skating rink and supplied the long felt want.-Despite the ups and downs of such a busi. ness, the place has been kept up un- til the popular demand forced the building of an up-to-date place for such amusements, and today Newport News can boast of as fine and com. fortable a theatre for colored people as there is anywhere, At a great outlay, the New Lyric ‘Theatre has been built and opened to the public and the management feels that they have earned the sup. port yof the colored people of New: port News and vicinity. ‘The price of admission is within the reach of everybody and the performances are richly commensurate with the best performances of the day, and the or. der maintained can't be excelled and the question is frequently asked, what more Is needed—The Newport News (Va.)

LAW EXAMINERS TALK OF LYNCH'S REFUSAL-INCLINED TO THINK PRESENCE OF NE GROES SHOULDN'T BE SA TERIBLY EMBARRASSING. Robert Burrow of Bristol and Jas. L. McRee of Memphis who, with Judge Cook of Franklin, are conducting the State bar examination at the custom house, say that while they deplore the incident of Thursday, referring to the refusal of Joe M. Lynch to take the examination with four Negroes, the matter is entirely out of their hands. Asked directly if he did not think the custom was at variance with other rules governing examinations, or other educational tests by mixed classes in the State, Judge Burrow said that he did not know. He said, further, that he did not think that the mingling of the races in law tests should be embarrassing to the white applicant, and that he did not believe any change should be made in this custom. Judge McRee. Secretary of the Board, said that he was astonished at the action of Mr. Lynch, as each year finds Negroes in the class of applicants, and there was never before any objection on the part of the white applicants. He refused to speak further on the incident, saying that such matters were entirely out of his hands. Several classmates of Mr. Lynch, questioned Friday afternoon, said that they were in accord with Mr. Lynch's action, and that the feature chiefly objected to was not the presence of the Negroes so much as it was the position they were given in the room. The United States District Court room was the class room, and the three Negroes were seated on the clerk's bench, which is raised several feet above the floor occupied by the white applicants, and this fact the students complained, caused them some embarrassment, since the examiners were seated in a little enclosure on the main floor, almost out of sight, and passers-by would, as a consequence, conclude that the examinations were being conducted by Negroes. The test was finished Friday afternoon. It was the second attempt for about thirteen of the class. COLORED CORPORATIONS THE ambition of colored men to organize and conduct corporate enterprises is a laudable ambition, and one which seems to be making substantial headway, in proof of the colored man's capacity for concentrated business effort; but the manner in which such corporate enterprises should be conducted is not as clearly understood by all colored men who make the effort, or by many who aid them, as it ought to be. The success of all efforts of this character depends more upon the general information and comprehensive ability of the men who direct them than upon the favorable nature and promising prospects of object to which they devote their efforts. The failures of these corporate undertakings are just as easy and just as certain as the failure of individual effort, if they are not carefully, legally and intelligently conducted, and every seuh failure acts as a public discouragement, the effects of which are difficult to overcome. Absolute ignorance of the financial liabilities of a corporate concern characterized this conduct. No stock company can legally pay dividends to its stockholders except out of its surplus funds, which represent its profits held in treasury over and above its liabilities. There can be no profits as long as there are unpaid mortages or other liabilities outstanding which overbalance the clear holdings and treasury cash. The stock of new companies is sold merely on the strength of its prospects, and must necessarily bring a low price, the receipts therefrom being intended as a working capital, and stock does not reach its par value, or the value upon which dividends are intended to be declared, until the successes of the business, its clear holdings and future prospects, give it that value in the open market, without any fictitious procedure or other factual manipulation on the part of the directorate or anybody else. Directors who declare and pay dividends to stockholders out of moneys received from stockholders or from other sources subject to unpaid liabilities, are merely plunderers running the corporation down hill to certain destruction. Men who have no capacity for the financial affairs and no conception of the legal details of business should not undertake to conduct corporate enterprises. They run great enough risk with their own personal affairs. But men who, in their own affairs, show keen business perception with powers to negotiate and promote profitable business combinations and commercial or industrial deals, who have reputations for honesty and sense enough to seek legal advice upon important and difficult matters concerning proposed procedure, should be trusted and encouraged to lead the larger efforts which are to be consummated through corporate enterprises.—Colorado Statesman.

You are cordially invited to attend the Seventh Annual Session of the Sunday-School which will meet at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 5th to 10th, 1912. This gathering of Sunday-school workers will represent every department of religious life of the people who make up the great National Baptist Convention. As the Sunday-School Congress has grown in age, it has also grown in importance. No one now doubts the fact, or denies the assertion that it is the most widely known, most influential and largest gathering of young people in the country engaged in the development of the Sundayschool life and work of the race. There are two essential things which will make the Seventh Annual Session a jubilee in point of interest. First it is gathering together in one mammoth meeting under one banner, the old and the young of our religious Sunday-schools and life. Second, the meeting is to be held in Tuskegee Institute, by special invitation of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Every attendant will have access to the magnificent buildings and grounds of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, the largest school in the world operated by Negroes.

BOYD, D., D., Seceretary 519 Second Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. ROCKROAD FARM Columbia, Tenn., Jan. 22, 1912.—That the Negroes of Tennessee are returning to the soil is clearly evidenced by the efforts of Mr. N. Thomas Caruthers, who has recently opened a model farm about four miles from this city. Mr. Caruthers was born and reared at Columbia. He graduated from the High School here, after which he took a college course in Roger Williams University at Nashville. Tenn. He then took a post-graduate course at Amherst Agricultural and Mechanical College in Massachusetts. His record in that institution was so brilliant that the trustees of the Industrial and Manual Training College, of New Jersey, located at Bordentown were attracted by this young man, and at once set about to secure his services for that institution. Mr. Caruthers was selected to succeed a man much older than himself, and who had had many years of experience in handling a college; but the trustees of the institution, recognizing in this young man rare ability, while they had nothing against the then present incumbent, desired to secure a man who could put the institution on a higher plain. Mr. Caruthers took hold of the Industrial School in New Jersey, and in a short while proved to the trustees and the people in the state that he had the proper training and also the adaptability to put their school in the front ranks of industrial institutions. His success there was marvelous; so much so that the Industrial College of New Jersey attracted the attention of the people of the East. But Mr. Caruthers was not satisfied with being president of a college. He remembered his home state; and he realized that if he could make several thousand dollars a year for the state of New Jersey on their school farm, he could do equally as well or better for Caruthers on the fertile soil of his native state. So he turned his attention back to Maury County, Tennessee. In looking around, he selected a sight about four miles from Columbia. He remembered what he had seen in his boyhood days: carloads of potatoes, the finest produced in the South, shipped out from Columbia to all parts of the country; fine poultry of all kinds, that commanded the best prices in the East; cattle that took the first premiums of the markets of the country; and the various products raised on the farm he remembered seeing in his home County of Tennessee produced in abundance. The thought came to him that he should allow the first law of nature to govern him: viz., self-preservation. And he also remembered that there are scores of Negroes in Tennessee who have farms, and who are having fair success, but that they are not prepared to keep abreast of the times along agricultural lines. He realized that while he was making money for himself he could also be of benefit to his fellowmen. So he resigned his position as president of the school in New Jersey and settled on his farm in Maury County. In a few months he has revolutionized things in that section of the State and Rockroad Farm promises to be one of the garden spots of the South When Mr. Caruthers was seen in Nashville sometime ago he was driving two of the finest thoroughbred steeds ever seen in this section. He did not look like a man who was recently president of a college, but a dignified farmer with a knowledge of what he was setting about to do. He had driven this span of horses from Madisonville, Ky., to Nashville, on his way to Columbia. His wagon was loaded with modern farming implements; and it could be seen at a glance that the man was determined to get from the soil the best it can yield. He made several purchases before reaching Columbia, and since settling on his farm, has been a constant visitor to this city, purchasing the very best farm seeds and implems. Rockroad Farm is located on the L. & N. Railroad, and a station is nearby, and it goes without saying, that many visitors will be attracted to this modern farm con ducted by one of the brilliant sons of Tennessee. The congenial wife of Mr. Caruthers is one of Columbia's daughters, and was for a number of years a teacher in the public schools. She is also a graduate of Roger Williams University, of Nashville, which adds increased dignity to Rockroad Farm. The Negroes of this section will gain new inspiration from the efforts of this trained and educated farmer; and it is safe to say, that Mr. Caruthers' influence will be felt throughout the state, as it is believed he will be able to prove to the Negroes of Tennessee that farming is the leading industry of the world, and is safer than banking or any of the lines of commercial pursuit.

A. had a mammoth meeting for men Sunday evening at the Grand Theatre, the speaker, Rev. G. W. Lucas, gave a most interesting and helpful lecture to the young men present. This Christian organization is doing commendable work in Chattanooga under the secretaryship of Prof. S. S. Booker, who is a very energetic and aggressive young men. William Allen White, of The Emporia Gazette, says: "In practically every special Congressional election held since Taft was made President the Democrats have won. Moreover, in every State in the Union, at every election since Taft was made President, the Democrats have made gains." Wherefore William Allen White cries aloud: "It's Roosevelt or bust." The facts are as he says, but the inference is not warranted. If Roosevelt were a winner New York would have elected Mr. Stimson Governor a year ago last November. The facts Mr. White has been observing are the indications of a Democratic tidal ```markdown ``` NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1912. wave, due to the Republican conduct in general, and specifically to the fact that the Payne-Aldrich bill was not the tariff reduction measure that was expected.

The Globe readers are under the impression that along with labor you have put forth "Ora et labor" (pray and work). And "Fide et fiducia" (By fidelity and confidence) you have gained the people.
