THE NASHVILLE CHORAL SOCIETY RENDERS INITIAL CONCERT Signal Success from the Start. Every Selection Heartily Applauded —Classics and Folk Songs Receive Same Recognition—Bad Break by White Methodist Presacher—Negroes Grossly Insulted. The first concert of the Nashville Choral Society was given at the Ryman Auditorium Tuesday evening, of this week. This organization is composed of the leading singers of the city. The organization was perfected by Prof. John W. Work and others, who conceived the idea that the Negroes of this city owe to us a first-class musical society. Prof. Work got his inspiration from the success of a like organization in Atlanta; and in view of the fact that Fisk University is located in this city and has a world-wide reputation for music, it was considered proper that the graduates and undergraduates of that institution, and also of the other universities of the city should organize and operate a high-class musical society. The organization was perfected less than six months ago. Practices have been held in the local churches here as the society had no funds and were unable to rent a meeting place. Just how well the Society is progressing was best attested to by the approval of the audience at the Ryman Auditorium Tuesday night in their applause of the program ren- PROF. J. W. WORK.

Between five and six thousand people congregated to hear the first concert of the Nashville Choral Society. The entertainment was given at the solicitation of the pastor of the Alex Irwin Methodist Episcopal Church (white). Prof. Work was approached by the pastor of this church to give this concert to aid them in their efforts to pay an indebtedness. Prof. Work was slow to give an answer; but finally consented after the pastor of the white M. E. Church had posi- (Continued on Page 8) SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTRATION FEBRUARY 19, 20 and 21. 1924 THE MATHEMATICS GREATER.

Washington, Feb. 7.—The existing vacancy on the supreme court bench, the fifth that has occurred in the present administration, probably will be filled by the appointment of Secretary of Commerce and labor Charles Nagel, of St. Louis. President Taft is expected to send the nomination of Mr. Nagel to the senate within a few days. United States Judge William C. Hook, of Kansas, who until last night was most prominently mentioned for the vacancy, is said to have been eliminated from further consideration at an hour's session of the cabinet today. All of the lawyers in the cabinet, except Mr. Nagel, were present and afterward it was learned the President had made clear his intention of appointing his secretary of commerce and labor. This report was so generally credited to-night that rumor was busy with a possible successor to Mr. Nagel in the cabinet. Louis Marshall, of New York, and Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, were mentioned among those who would be considered. "Jim Crow" Case. Judge Hook's name was scratched from the President's list to-day almost at the eleventh hour. According to Kansans at the White House to-day the latest protest against Judge Hook grew out of an old Oklahoma case in which an attempt was made to secure dining car and sleeping car privileges for Negroes. The United States court, Judge Hook, concurring, decided that it was optional with the railroad to furnish these cars for Negroes. Both the President and Attorney-General Wickersham are understood NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9, 1912 to hold the opinion that Judge Hook "went too far" in this case, and Secretary of State Knox, Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of the Interior Fisher, other lawyers present at the cabinet meeting, evidently agreed. THE NEGRO DEPARTMENT. OR THE INTERCHURCH COL- LEGE LOCATED. Citizens of Northwest Nashville will be delighted to learn that they are to have another educational institution in their midst. It has been mentioned the Colored Department of Interchurch College is to be located in that portion of the city. It will be remembered that a great howl was raised by a few people living in Capitol Square when the rumor gained circulation that the Board of Directors of Interchurch College proposed to locate the Colored Department near the State Capitol. Protest upon top of protest went before the Board, and some went so far as to almost threaten the institution if located there. No danger, however, was entertained along that line by any one; but as rumor had it that it wouldn't be a desirable one, the committee had no cause to consider the protest, but went on in their even tenor of way to look out for a place more suitable. It has just leaked out that the site finally settled upon by the Board is one that is far superior to any space in Capitol Square, viz. the Hoffman Hall, located just west of Livingston Hall. This site is on a high elevation overlooking Centennial Park, Vanderbilt University and West Nashville generally, with a broad scope of territory in view of the observer stretching out for miles to the northwest. Several great institutions come under observation in this scope of territory. Among them is the new State Normal buildings, whose structures can be seen in the west of the site selected for the Interchurch College. The natural scenery that stretches out before the eye at this point will bring to the students at the institution Nature's beauty in abundance. It is understood that President Gates, of Fisk University, who is a member of the Board, has promised the co-operation of Fisk with the Interchurch College. It has been learned that a working agreement has been reached whereby spare space in the Theological Building will be utilized by the Interchurch College in the beginning, and as long as t: is desired. This will enable the Board to begin operations at a very early date, and it is expected that before the year 1912 closes Nashville will have in full operation, aside from her public schools, seven educational institutions of higher learning and technical training. OUSTED FROM SEAT—NEGRO GIVEN JUDGMENT AGAINST THE SOUTHERN AT KNOXVILLE. Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 7. —(Special) — In Circuit Court today Hugh L. Moss, a Negro, was given judgment for $250 against the Southern Railway because a conductor of that company required him to surrender his seat in a jim crow compartment to a lady passenger. The train was crowded and several whites crowded into the Negro car, and the Negro had to get up. TENNESSEE FOR DR. JONES AFRICAN METHODISTS SOLID FOR HIM Every Conference in the State Represented — Plans Formulated to Work for Dr. Jones' Election Distinguished Educator Fully Qualified for Position Steering Committee Ap- On Tuesday of this week the delegates to the A. M. E. General Conference, which convenes in Kansas City next May, met in Pethel A. M. E. Church in this city. In connection with the delegates several trustees of Turner Normal College, an institution supported by the Church, of Shelbyville, also several general officers, visited. The meeting, as has been stated heretofore, was for the purpose of looking after matters pertaining to the school and formulating plans to be laid before the General Conference. Rev, L. P. Gray, P. E. Tennessee Annual Conference, was chairman of the meeting, and Dr. G. W. Porter, of Columbia, was secretary. Every conference in the state was represented except the West Tennessee Conference. The Tennessee Conference was represented by Reverends L. P. Gray, L. H. P. Jones, N. B. Denney and S. L. H. Laward; Laity C. V. Roman and M. C. Buford. The East Tennessee Conference was represented by Rev. J. H. Smith, pastor of Warren A. M. E. Church, of Chattanooga, and Mr. D. H. Allen. Middle Tennessee Conference by Rev. D. W. Porter and W. H. Shelton. Rev. A. Brooks, as alternate, represented Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, who was elected at the last Annual Conference and afterwards transferred to St. Louis. Mo. The general officers present were Rev. W. A. Lewis Secretary of the Praachers' Protective Association, Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of the Sunday-School Union Department and Rev. J. C. Caldwell, Secretary of the Alton Christian Endeavor League The meeting was very harmonious in every way. It was idiotic that Tennessee is solid for Dr. Jones for editor of the Southern Christian Recorder. There was not a dissenting voice against his election. Dr. Jones was present and in his usual genial mood. Every delegate expressed himself as of the belief that Dr. Jones would be elected. Tennessee is proud of her noble son. Having lived in the state all his life, Dr. Jones is well known from Carter to Shelbyville. As President of Turner Normal College he has made an enviable record. He was elected to that position when the school was without anything save a lot. By his energy and tact he has brought that school up to the point where it ranks favorably with the other normal schools in the state. And now the trustees have some money in hand preparatory to erecting a girl's dormitory on the campus. Dr. Jones has pastored some of the largest churches in the state, but while in the pastorate and since he has been President of Turner Normal College, he never ceased to advocate through his church papers and also through the secular press the things he believed to be the best for all the people. He is a sane and courageous writer. He is not afraid to tell the truth and to state facts in any case, it has been charged by the secular press that the church papers cover up things that happen within the church that the world ought to know, and ministers often complain that nominal papers refuse to grant them privileges they ought to have. It is not believed that Dr. Jones will be guilty of either. He is a born editor and a thorough scholar. As to his reputation, one only needs to strike Tennessee soil anywhere and call the name of J. A. Jones, and at once the response will come that he is one of our leading citizens and foremost educators. He has had experience in both newspaper and magazine work. In the days of the late Dr. M. E. Bryant, when he was editor and publisher of the Southern Christian Recorder, with hearquarters in Nashville, Dr. Dr. Jones assisted him in that work, and afer his death his successor found in Dr. Jones a valuable The first Sunday-school lessons ever written by the Negro came from the pen of this same J. A. Jones, whom Tennessee is asking the General Conference to elect Editor of the Southern Christian Recorder. That was during the tenure of Bishop C. S. Smith as Secretary of the Sunday-School Union. There is no man better acquainted with the affairs of the A. M. E. Church than Tennessee's candidate. He has proven this in various ways. The members of the conferences in this state look to Dr Jones for counsel and advice and they always find in him a warm friend. The laity also are very proud of him, and can ap- BUSINESS MEN WILL HOLD A RALLY. Two Prominent Visitors, D. A. Hart, Editor of The Nashville Globe, and Henry A.

It developed at the meeting Tuesday that the delegates from other states are favorably considering Tennessee's choice, and with a strong pull, not only by the delegates and members of the A. M. E. Connection, but by Tennessee generally it looks like a certainty that the Old Volunteer state will bring one of her sons beck from Kansas City crowned with high honors. A deal of business was transacted at the meeting held here Tuesday. The matter of transportation was discussed at length. A delegation of rafroad officials was received and accorded a hearing. A committee on transportation and many other matters pertaining to the General Conference were discussed pro and con. At the conclusion of the business before the body the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. The delegation, on motion of Dr. G. W. Porter, voted unanimously to sup the Bryant Proposition, who proposes as manager of the Sunday-School Union, that he will offer to the General Conference to put all the publishing interests of the connection under one management, the Sunday-School Union, to be the general headquarters. The following Steerage Committee was appointed to look after the candidacy of Dr. J. A. Jones: A. P. Gray, S. L. Howard, M. C. Buford, J. H. Smith, D. H. Hall, G. W. Porter, S. Jefferson, J. A. Lindsay, J. B. Willis. The delegates endorsed the candidacy of Dr. G. W. Allen, of Alabama, for the bishopic; Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Kansas for Financial Secretary, and instructed the Steerage Committee to look after the other part of the canvass. Bishop H. B. Parks was in the city but did not attend the meeting. After the meeting a large number of the delegates paid their respects to him by calling upon him at the residence of Dr. G. L. Jackson, on Lea avenue, where the Bishop was a guest. TENNESSEE'S LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL No. 6 NEW THEATER COMPLETED No.6 FORMS LINK BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH Johnson's Majestic is Now Ready* Success of Enterprise Assured— Best Shows in the Country Look- ing This Way—Will Break Long Jump from Louisville to Memphis. As a blacksmith welds a piece of iron to make a link in a chain which will lift thousands of pounds and which can be used to make secure the most ferocious animals, just so has one of the enterprising citizens of this city forged a link welding and bringing together the missing link in a chain of theaters that now connects the Great Lakes with the Gulf. The stupendous task of building a first-class, up-to-date theater called for more than child's play, it entailed the outlay of thousands of dollars to say nothing of the rest- less days and sleepless nights spent over such a project. When these ob- stacles are overcome, as they have been, there still looms up the highest of all the Alps to be surmounted. MR. A. N. JOHNSON, Proprietor of Nashville's New Theater, The Majestic. a place to build such a theater that would be commanding and attractive, and above all, when the house is completed and properly put in order, where are the shows? Who will book them? Just as Nashville has outdistanced other cities in the rapid progress made in the past sixteen or seventeen years, since she arose from her state of lethargy and began to exert herself, making tremendous strides, better records, opening new epochs and thereby creating an era of the most sublime future, just so has one of her most loyal citizens removed the obstacle and surmounted the difficulties in the way of establishing an up-to-date theater, where members of the race, who love the stage, admire the orchestra and long to sit in the glare of the footlights, may go and have their wants and desires satisfied without fear of discrimination or humiliation. It is impossible to paint in words, sufficiently glowing and attractive, just what the new theater in Nashville promises, but it is sufficient say that no city in the sunny South can rightfully boast of superiority in the ownership of a house more modern than the one of which Nashville can boast, when pointing to the Majestic Theater. In stating that every obstacle had been surmounted the statement was not made simply to attract attention, the facts themselves warrant the assertion. Only a few days ago an order for an asbestos curtain was placed with a Chicago scenery firm, together with more than $1,000 of up-to-date scenery, which is the finishing touch upon the playhouse which will attract to this city stage celebrities, who have never had an opportunity to visit Tennessee's magnificent capital. Speculation as to the success of the theater is a matter of yesterday. Success seems to be assured for just as the Negroes of Nashville have supported two strong banking institutions, kept alive the educational enthusiasm that has been the means of Nashville maintaining her lead as an educational center, and as through their support and religious zeal they have made Nashville the religious publishing center of the United States, and as she is rightfully the home, or at least the mother, of denominational pride, just so she will make a success as a theater center. When Mr. A. N. Johnson, the promoter and proprietor of the Majestic Theater, was seen as he alighted from the train on his return from Chicago, he stated that he had succeeded in getting in touch with booking agencies in the Windy City, by which he had secured the booking of (Continued on Page 8) 2 These collection plates are made of thoroughly seasoned selected, best grade stock.

She will also take your subscriptions by the month, three months or year, or she will have it delivered to your house every week at 5 cents per copy. MASON NOTES. Miss Beatrice Stewart, one of the Covington High school teachers, was in the city last Saturday and Sunday visiting parents. Rev. P. H. Kuhn is having his store house taken down. Mrs. Mollie Coe received a telegram from Arkansas last Sunday that her son, William Johnson, had been killed. Her husband, Mr. Will Coe, and son, James Johnson, left Sunday evening to investigate the matter. Last Friday, February 2, known to part of the world as Candelmass day, we note that Mr. ground hog or Brer Arctomyx Monax, the Beaneater would say, sneaked out of his hole to study the weather. He chanced to see his shadow and scooted back to his mine and sends word to the wood man and coal man to raise the price of wood and anthracite, for according to tradition, there will surely be six weeks more of winter weather. Miss Bessie Granberry arrived home last Sunday from Nashville, Tenn., where she has been attending school at Walden University. Mrs. Henderson left for Memphis last Sunday to spend a few weeks with her daughter, Mrs. M. V. Lynk. Mrs. B. P. Fields, one of our best educators, has handed in her subscription for the Globe for one year. Dr. R. S. Fields, our colored city physician, has a great practice. He enjoys reading the Globe. Mrs. Candace Fields, wife of Dr. R. S. Fields, has been ill, but is much better at this writing. Some colored people away over in Mexico are taking some three or four newspapers which are edited by white editors, and when you speak to them about paying up their arrears or subscribing for a colored paper the first word that comes is this, "Well." If we ever expect to make a great intelligent and intellectual rank of people we must learn to patronize every enterprise of good of our race. CLARKSVILLE NOTES. Last Sunday was a great day in St. Peters A. M. E. Church, notwithstanding the severe weather. Two boards of stewardesses were consecrated in the presence of a large audience. The altar was draped in snow white linen, and the eighteen ladies in their uniforms of white and black made a beautiful picture as they knelt at the altar, while the pastor, Rev. D. A. Graham, in full robe, prayed the consecration prayer. The solemnity of the scene made a lasting impression on all who witnessed it. The solo by Madam Kate Greenlaw was one of the finest that could be rendered on such an occasion. Few singers in this country equal Madam Greenlaw in the sweetness of tone and perfection of interpretation of sacred music. Clarksville can well be proud of her. The Allen League presented a fine program at the regular hour and had the largest attendance of this season. Mrs. Hoddsins led the meeting. Dr. Jefferson is acting as general spuer-intendent at present. Mrs. Lena Cottron is very sick at her residence on Eleventh street. The Wardrobe Club, the leading charity organization of the city will hold anniversary exercises at Fifth Ward Baptist Church Sunday, the 11th, at 3 p. m. Rev. Dr. Graham will deliver the anniversary sermon. Mr. Weaden Dickerson, of Dickson, Tenn., whose leg was broken by a train in two places, was sent to the Home Infirmary, of this city, for treatment this week. Mrs. Gene Terry, of Olmstead, Ky., is at the Infirmary for treatment. Mrs. Nat Wadkins, of Howell, Ky., is at the Infirmary this week. Mrs. Meriweather and Mrs. Bowling, of Guthre, Ky., who underwent abdominal operations last week, are both out of danger and will soon return to their homes. All other cases at the Infirmary are doing well. The Infirmary has been overrun with work for the past two weeks. The visitors to the Infirmary the past two weeks were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. James Bell, of Allensville, Ky.; Mr. Columbus Bowling, Mr. James Merriweather and sister, Miss Dozie Lee, of Guthre, Ky.; Mr. Wm. Braxton and Mr. Nat Wadkins, of Howell, Ky.; Mr. W. B. Suggs, of Hortense; and Mrs. Mrs. Davie, of this city. Nurse Shelton was called to Cumberland City this week to nurse a very serious case for Dr. Martin, a white physician. Nurse Cole was called to nurse Mrs. C. C. Gurhart this week, but owing to extreme rush at the Infirmary, both nurses had to be called back to help Nurse Bailey out. The financial report of St. John Baptist Church, of Clarksville, Tenn., for the year 1911 was the largest in twenty-five years, under the leadership of her new pastor, Rev. S. W. Toles, B. D. The net receipts for the year 1911 amounted to $2,500. Rev. Toles has not only proved himself a minister of the gospel, but a financier and church builder. During his year's pastorate electricity and a steam plant have been installed, a concrete walk and steps have been laid, a new pulpit and new office furniture have been put in. The cost of the furniture amounted to $165, and too eighty new members have been added to the church. The church, in her last meeting, re-elected Wm. H. Keeesee as Treasurer, and E. D. Clark as Clerk. Allen Jackson was elected Sunday-school treasurer. COLUMBIA NOTES. Prof. J. H. Kelly made a business trip to Memphis last week. Miss Eddy K. Johnson has gone to Roger Williams University to take a special course in music. Thleves entered YOUR CHILD WILL APPRECIATE A Negro Doll AS MUCH NOW AS BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Do not think that because the Christmas holidays are over that it is too late to give your little girl a Negro Doll. If this thought has occurred to you, you are laboring under the wrong impression. Girls always appreciate dolls, because they are companions for them in their loneliness. They are joys to her when her play-mates arrive. 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. We will sell any of the dolls named below, which are all we have left, at the amount marked opposite each size doll.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1912. An Unfortunate Affair. It is indeed unfortunate that the concert given by the Nashville Choral Society, Tuesday night, at the Auditorium brought about the unpleasantness that it did, and, too, when it was unnecessary. The pastor of the Alex. Irwin Methodist Episcopal Church (white) Rev. C. T. Carter, made a great blunder when he promised to do a thing that he could not do. We have it direct from Prof. Work that he had promised him that there would be no discrimination whatever against colored people who might attend the concert, and it was only after such assurance had been received from this minister that Prof. Work consented to give the concert for the white church. Negroes of Nashville have long since decided that they can entertain themselves, and they show no disposition to attend such entertainments given by or for white people. No better proof of this need be cited than the fact that the Lyceum, which secures some of the very best musical talent in the world to appear at the Auditorium every year, sends out their invitations to the people generally. Such invitations, we are told, are handled by an advertising agency. They take the City Directory and pick out the people who they think will appreciate such invitations, and send out their advertisements, offering inducements to those who will purchase season tickets. Any number of these circulars are sent to colored people, but never in a single instance has one Negro applied to purchase a season ticket to these entertainments. They take no thought of it whatever, but simply pass the matter on to the waste basket. This is the best evidence that they do not desire to go where they are not wanted. Consequently, there is no reason for the white people of Nashville to worry about the colored people in trudging on them. The Negroes of this city have magnificent church auditoriums, spacious halls, and now they have a new up-to-date theatre. They have their parks that they have bought and paid for out of their meager means. All of this is done to satisfy the desires of the pleasure-loving people of the race. The case of Tuesday night was a peculiar one. Here is a white minister of the Gospel pleading to the director of a Negro Choral Society to aid him in raising funds for his church. He must have known of the petty prejudices that exist among his own people; on the other hand, he must have known that despite the existence of these prejudices there prevails among the white and black citizens of Nashville the best of feeling. He should have put himself to the trouble to find out why this condition existed; but instead, he went blindly on a presumption and promised to do what he could not do. Prof. Work is not to be blamed for this unfortunate affair. The blame rests solely on Rev. C. T. Carter, the pastor of the church for which the entertainment was given. So certain was Prof. Work that the gentleman who ap proached him knew what he was talking about that he did not ask for a written agreement; being a minister, he felt that his word was suffi- client. Some are saying that the members of the Choral Society should have walked out of the house and refused to sing. There are two sides to that question. Think of between five and six thousand people assembled to hear a concert; they have paid their money for the admission fee; they have spent car fare coming to the building; they expect to hear the program rendered; they know nothing of the arrangement; they are answering the appeal of the pastor of a struggling church. The director of the Choral Society has promised to entertain these people. The question is: "Should the congregation be dis appointed because one of the contracting parties has failed to carry out his agreement in toto?" Again, would it be to the best interests of the Society? Furthermore, would it be conducive to the perpetuation of the friendly relations that exist between black and white in Nashville? We are of the opinion that the course pursued was the best under the circumstances. We regret it beyond expression. It has always been the policy of the Globe to advise Negroes everywhere to refrain from doing things that they know will cause unpleasantness. We contend that all amusements are not absolutely necessary. Of course every one should recreate. We do not believe that Negroes should be a race of misers, and shut their eyes to all the pleasures that Providence has provided for mankind; but we do hold that Negroes can provide pleasures for themselves. We further contend that within the race there can be found people in every profession and in every art, and in athletics, who can furnish entertainment of a class that should please the most fastidious of our race. We see no need for Negroes going into galleries of theatres and darting through alleys and back doors to see a play. What is true in this case we hold is also true in the matter of reform movements. We do not think any movement is elevating to Negroes in which they must be subjected to discriminations. We regret the incident of Tuesday night because mention of this program appeared in the columns of this paper, and we have tried to conduct the Globe in such a way as to warrant the confidence of all Negroes everywhere. So we have great cause to regret this affair. It has napped, however, and we feel that we are more responsible for the humiliation that was heaped upon a thousand or more Negroes who were at the auditorium the other night than any other agency. We know full well that this concert was advertised, we know that street cars were sent into densely populated Negro communities advertising the entertainment with a brass band, but, with all of this, we further know that Negroes would not have been at the auditorium had they not read in the Globe that the Nashville Choral Society would render their first program there Tuesday night, February 6. For this cause we wish to make this pledge: If the God of the universe will forgive us of of this sin we will never again advise our people to participate in any social affair given by white people. We make this vow for the reason that such occurrences are liable to cause serious trouble. The class of Negroes who were at the auditorium Tuesday night are not the class that are used to being treated as dogs by white people; and unfortunately, some of the doorkeepers at this entertainment were as unmanly as it is possible for a human to be. They had no consideration for anything, but only felt the importance of their position as ticket sellers or ticket receiveirs, and seemed to consider it a high privilege to tell a Negro to "go around to the back door," and also "you can't come in here," and such stuff as that. White ministers, of all men, ought to be ashamed of the acts of the minister who was the cause of this unpleasantness. We are living here in peace. Every man who wants to work and make an honest living has an opportunity. The white are very considerate of the black people, and there is not a city in the country, North or South, where there is as little friction between the races as in Nashville. It behooves every man to work for the perpetuation of this relationship. It was not absolutely necessary for the pastor of this church to have this concert. Had he appealed to the big-hearted white people of this city they would have rallied to his aid. The Negroes are mindful of the fact that thousands of dollars have been given to their churches by the white people, and they know they are not able to return such favors, and that it is not expected that they do so; but, on this occasion, when it seemed that they could in a way aid a struggling church, out of the fullness of their hearts, they did so; but it is better for all of Nashville that no such arrangements ever be attempted again. We feel safe in saying that the Negroes of this city will never attempt to do so, it makes no difference who says or promises them this or that; they will always remember this unpleasant incident and will for all time to come content themselves with worshiping under their own "vine and fig tree" and providing such entertainments as they can, and make themselves satisfied with them. This incident is past. It is best that we, in a way, put it aside, never to forget it, but as a reminder in days to come, and that it may be passed down to generations yet unborn, to teach them that it is the policy of the Negroes in Nashville to content themselves with what is their own so far NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 9. 1912. [Name] MR. CARY B. LEWIS. Mr. Cary B. Lewis, of Chicago, Ill., in the city of the guest of Meharry Medical College, of which Dr. G. W. Hubbard is dean. He accompanied Dr. Dan Williams, of Chicago, who has very successfully conducted a week's clinic at Hubbard Hospital. He will be here several days to visit the schools, colleges and various enterprises. Mr. Lewis is connected with the Illinois Chronicle, Indianapolis Freeman, American Press Association, and will write special articles for these papers and a daily paper of Chicago. He has been royally entertained. Mr. Lewis was made an honorary member of the Sigma Mu of Meharry at their meeting this week. as entertainments and social affairs are concerned, and also to teach them that some white preachers are not to be trusted even on their oath. Men are known to be troublesame when they are alive, but Tom Williams is giving more trouble than a dozen live men, in that the courts must decide who shall go to the expense of burying his body—his mother or his wife. But the truth of the matter is, the mother and wife want to know who shall get the $450 of life insurance. Why Men Should Vote. From time to time things happen that convince men of the importance of exercising the franchise privilege, and Negroes are made to understand that unless they vote the time will come when every privilege they have will be abridged. We have never taken any stock in the bosh preached to the Negroes that they should not take any part in voting, and we have never heard of a Negro man with an ounce of sense who has given such advice. It is true that some of our leading men have advised Negroes to pay less attention to politics and more to business. This is concurred in by the Globe, if we will be allowed to make a distinction between voting and playing politics. As we understand it, the politicians play the game of politics and the voters decide who shall hold the offices. Unfortunately the Negroes in times past have confused these two questions. They got in the habit of laying aside every interest except that of seeking some office, and as a consequence lost their grip to an extent on commercial affairs. Office-holders in the end become a class of parasites. Very few politicians have money; for it comes to them in a lump and they spend it in the same way. They are flush while the campaign lasts and are paupers when the campaign is over; but the voter is that man who is interested in the welfare of the community and who feels it his duty to help pass upon the man who shall take the affairs of the people in charge. Negroes in Nashville and Tennessee should begin now to prepare for the coming elections. They cannot vote in the Democratic Primaries, but, in the language of Booker Washington, "every Negro has his white man, and in times of distress he can go to that white man and get what he wants." The author of this statement probably had no reference to political affairs; yet the truth of it is applicable to all things. There are numbers of Negroes who have influence with Democratics who vote in the Primary, and if a man enters the race for office in that election that the Negroes of Tennessee feel is objectionable to them, it is their duty to tell the voters so, and give them to understand that they cannot expect their support if they load their ticket with objectionable characters. For example, an incident happened in this city a few evenings since in which one of the leading candidates, who has announced himself for support in the Democratic Primary, played a conspicuous part. The incident in question was the concert at the Ryman Auditorium Tuesday evening, February 6th. The gentleman who has charge of the auditorium has an nounced himself as candidate for Treasurer of the State, and is asking the Democrats to elect him in their coming primary. We refer to Mr. DelLong Rice, who is manager of the Ryman Auditorium. We have it from reliable sources that no screens of any kind were ever put up in the auditorium until Mr. Rice took charge of it. Previous to that time an aisle was all that was necessary to separate the races. The same as is in vogue in every theatre in the city. There never has been a time when theatres have even put in their peanut galleries any kind of screens. The aisle has always been a sufficient line of demarcation. And yet Mr. Rice feels called upon to go to a dry goods store and buy a bolt of sheeting and stretch it across the balcony to separate colored people from white people. Then, he informed a committee of colored gentlemen last Tuesday night that he would not take it down for a thousand dollars laid in his hands. We call this cheap in a man who will go before the public and ask to be endorsed for so important a position as State Treasurer. We do not feel that the interests of the Negroes of Tennessee would be safe in such hands, and now is the time for the Negro men in this State to set about to convince the Democratic voters that this man would be objectionable to them as State Treasurer. He has not that broadness of conviction and courageousness of heart necessary for a man to possess to handle the finances of this great State. We do not believe that he would be elected under the most favorable circumstances; for the Democrats of Tennessee are looking for men of strong calibre to help carry the flag to victory in 1912. They know that every man who is put up for office must be a courageous man. He must not be a man who will stoop to low things, but a man who can see the right and have the courage to do it. It is also incumbent upon the Negroes of Tennessee to pay their poll taxes now, and when the registration day comes, register and see that your neighbor registers, and inquire diligently whether or not he has paid his poll tax. If he has not, urge upon him the absolute necessity of doing so, and then when election time comes, see to it that he votes, and if he has paid his own poll tax, you can feel assured that he will vote right. The saying that "in time of peace prepare for war" applies to the situation in Tennessee now. Judge Hook Passed Up. We have followed closely the case of Judge Hook, and several days ago it seemed that the tide was against his appointment. President Taft has played a winning card in this move, and Negroes in all parts of the country will at least erase the Kansas speech mark from his slate. Our Supreme Court is our highest tribunal. No man should be appointed to a seat in that august body whose mind is tainted of prejudice. Again, every member of the Supreme Court of the United States should understand the law and possess the courage to put a construction on it that will defy criticism for all ages. It is apparent that Judge Hook does not possess these qualities, not solely on account of his decision in the Oklahoma case, but in other cases that have come before him. President Taft is to be commended for the good judgment shown in this instance. Thievery at Vanderbilt. Thievery at Vanderbilt. The daily papers report that the students of Kissam Hall, Vanderbilt University, have of late been missing clothing, money and other paraphernalia in a way they cannot understand. One man is reported to have said that he saw a Negro in his room, and it seems that the aim is to settle this on some Negro. This is nothing new, but the thought we wish to express is the embarrassing position of the porters and waiters at Vanderbilt, all or most of whom are colored. It behooves them to be on their guard. Every colored man who is connected in any way with Vanderbilt University should convert himself into a secret detective and aid in running down the thief, whoever he may be, that is pilfering things from the students of the University. And now report comes that Negroes in Georgia have lynched a Negro. We presume the boys are whetting up their nerves to take hold of some of the Crackers next. The Emancipation Celebration. The New York Age, in the issue of the 1st, says: The Nashville Globe thinks that a uniform day should be determined upon for the celebration of the promulgation of the Emancipation Proclamation. Why not celebrate it on and call it Lincoln Day? He was our Abraham, our father in freedom, if not in citizenship. And the character of the celebration should be changed to a speechmaking illumination of the history of the Proclamation and the present condition of the race's affairs, and not be made occasion for rag-tag parades and riotous eating and drinking. We have always been of the opinion as expressed by the Age, but we realize that there are numbers of Negroes throughout the country who are of different opinions, and it is these we would like to see reconciled. We believe the Age is right, but we are willing to hear the contention of the other fellow. To the public in general: We have made clothes for the masses for twenty years in 77 branch stores in the United States, and we have yet to find one dissatisfied customer—this means that when you get a suit or overcoat from us you get something that is bound to please.

Editor Nashville Globe: I do not know how much good my sanction will amount to in the endorsement of the course resolved on by the colored Pythians of Tennessee in appealing their case to the supreme court of the United States, but I am glad they are going to do so. This is not done to pander to Negro sentiment, for I pander to no one, but when unfairness is attempted, no matter against whom, and I can aid in the cause of right. I shall be heard. What possible harm can arise from Ne-gro Pythianism, I am unable to see. That much good has arisen from it it clear to every one who will even casually investigate the matter. I feel a warrant in speaking on this subject, for I have myself been a Knight of Pythias for fully 30 years, have always promptly paid my dues, and may be justified in expressing my opinion in this connection. Because of the great good that the rder has done the colored people I sincerely hope that the supreme tribunal of the land will sustain contention of the colored Pythians. I trust also that the ablest counsel will be employed in presenting this cause before the supreme court. Speaking as a Knight, I think I never knew a more baseless contention than that made by the opposition to Negro Pythianism and I want those interested to know that there is at least one white brother, a veteran in the cause of Pythianism, and who is totally disinterested, who espouses the side of the colored Pythians in this contention. It is somewhat difficult to refrain from a discussion of the merits of the question, and really it is not necessary, for not a stiva of reason can be assigned to the contrary, but I will for the present content myself with that already said in this emphatic endorsement whereunto I set my name. B. F. RILEY. Briningham, Ala. I might add that I believe many other white Knights share in my conviction, if they could be induced to be heard. MISS EATON LOSES BROTHER.

READ THIS INVITATION "MEET US FACE TO FACE AT THE CONGRESS" Tuskegee June 5 to 10, 1912 You are cordially invited to attend the Seventh Annual Session of the Sunday-School Congress 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 Sunday-school life and work of the race. There are two essential things which will make the Seventh Annual Session of the Congress 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.

Our Easter Greetings FOR THE OBSERVANCE OF ARE NOW READY EASTER 1912 ALL OF our former efforts in preparing Easter Greetings in which there would appear appropriate exercises for those schools and the congregations, that desire to carry out this celebration, have been eclipsed this year in the production of our Easter Greetings, which is being published in colors. The demand for Easter Greetings last year was so great that we were compelled to print three editions. That is to say, we had to put the form on the press three times so that all the orders could be filled. One good brother has just sent in an order for five hundred. He is ordering his in time. If you will send in your order for Easter Greetings at once we can ship them out by mail. This will give you an opportunity to have your rehearsals so that the children will be thoroughly drilled in the mode of exercise. The recitations are appropriate, the music cheerful, while the order of exercise is entertaining in every respect. The Price of Easter Greetings is 35c per doz. $3 per 100 523 Second Avenue, N. Brush up the incubator. Now is the time to plan for the chicks you will count later. Your busy season is now approaching. Have everything in readiness, so all your work will move smoothly. Every pen should now be mated up and placed in readiness for the hatching season. Have every female banded and if possible keep a record of her work this season. Keep every bird in perfect health by feeding carefully and inducing the fowls to take proper exercise with their food. See that they scratch for every grain that they secure and even fix up some device to keep them busy while securing their supply of green food. Don't let the water freeze in the drinking fountain. It is just as essential to water your flock twice a day now as in the heat of summer. If your coops are uncomfortably cold, remove the water a half hour after giving it to them. This will also save many a frozen waddle. If you keep your birds in a warmer portion of your house at night than during the day, see that they are immediately put to work in deep litter, scratching for their breakfast. This will put their blood in circulation and be a good start toward keeping up the health of the flock. However, care must be exercised in not keeping them too warm at night. Roup—The Poultrymen's Greatest Enemy. By Austin W. Carpenter. The wither is here in good earnest and with it come the troubles of every man or woman raising poultry. This is the season of colds and rou among fowls. If there is a single fancier who has not had his rou troubles he can be truly thankful. I doubt if you can find one such fancier. No matter how careful one may be, colds will develop the same as they do with the human family. Neglected they terminate in roup. This disease unless fought with care and diligence means death. In this article on that disease I shall treat the subject from the standpoint of an everyday poultry-man without endeavoring to tell its causes or cure from a scientific point of view. I could not, if I so desired, for I am not a physician. My only experience of the subject has been acquired from experience which I have had in my own yards. Sad experience, to say the least. Causes. In my experience I have found that most colds develop in poultry from draughts in poultry houses. If birds are subject to draughts at night while on their perches they are very apt to take cold. Send all orders to the National Baptist Publishing Board R. H. BOYD, Secretary See to it that all cracks where air may come through and strike birds are closed in some manner. Many people make the sad mistake of making the portion of the house where the birds sleep warmer than the rest of the building. I have even seen it advocated in poultry papers that a curtain should be drawn in front of the chicks while sleeping on the perches during the night. The curtain is drawn in the morning and the birds fly off into a great deal colder atmosphere. What is the result? Colds, of course. Common sense teaches this without experimenting. Too small perch room results in colds. Pack the birds in too close and their bodies become too warm. When they leave the roost in the morning their bodies are chilled with the cold morning air. Again the cold germs get in their work. Dampness isa neither chief cause of roup. Let your house get damp and remain in that condition any length of time and you have a flock of sick fowls. Damp houses are the result of poor ventilation. If a good supply of fresh air can find its way to your poultry house you will have no damp floors or walls. Nine out of ten of the beginners are afraid of too much fresh air. Here they make their mistake. If the day is not especially stormy or windy have the windows open the greater portion of the day. Hens, like people, require fresh air. Use judgment in placing your ventilating windows so that the wind cannot blow directly on your birds. Keep the windows open. Sunshine and fresh air are the poultryman's best friends. Symptoms and Conditions. The bird breathes with difficulty. There is a railing in the throat. The nostrils discharge. Soon the discharge dries, covering the nostrils opening. If the bird does not get relief the head begins to swell and the eyes become affectd. The eyes water and become closed. Head and eyes continue to swell. Once the eyes become shut with this disease the bird quits eating. It rapidly loses flesh and within a few days will become very light. It will mope in a dark corner or under roosts, etc. In many cases the mouth and throat canker. From this there is a very disagreeable odor. Unless given immediate attention the bird soon dies. The disease is very easily communicated. One case will soon infect the whole flock. Treatment and Cure. Many persons will tell you that the best cure is the axe. They tell you that this disease is incurable and you had better kill the birds affected. To a certain extent this is true. It is no easy task to doctor a chicken. However, when the first prize birds and the best lookers set the disease NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1912. Send Five Cents For a Sample Copy it is not such an easy task to take the axe and start with the winner to the block. No! Every fancier will make an effort to save the choice bird. Then we must ascertain the best treatment. Watch your flock very closely to discover any bird that becomes afflicted with the disease. As soon as they take cold they lose their ambition and will stand around showing no activity. Keep your eye out for birds that show these signs of cold. Again many show first indications of the trouble by hard breathing and rattling in their throat. It is very easy to discover these indications. Simply step into your poultry house at night and listen to the fowls breathing. If one is off in its breathing you can discover it in an instant. If you find a bird with a cold orroup separate it from the remainder of the flock at once. Don't leave it a minute. It is astonishing how quickly the disease is communicated to others of the flock. Be sure to remove your sick birds from pen as soon as you discover it. Give the birds remaining in the pen some preventive in their drinking water. A few drops of carbolic acid in drinking water will do much toward stopping the spread of the disease. Remove afflicted bird to clean quarters. Have them perfectly dry. No bird will recover in damp surroundings. There are many remedies manufactured and advertised in poultry publications that are of great merit. Most of the remedies manufactured by reliable companies are effective. I shall not suggest any remedies in particular, as several are advertised in this publication and it would not do to boost one unless you did all. Whichever remedy you may happen to use, bear in mind that you must follow its directions to the letter and be thorough in your treatment. I have found that the first move to make is to endeavor to clear out the nostrils. I use crude oil with a few drops of carbolic acid. This is forced into the nostril with a small syringe. It clears the discharge from the nostrils and makes breathing easy, Bath the head and eyes with same solution. If eyes are swollen shut take pains to bathe the same until fowl can open eyes. Don't be afraid of getting solution in eyes. It will do more good than harm even if it gets into eye. Camphorated oil is an excellent remedy for the head and eyes. If thoroughly treated it will reduce swelling and heal eyes very rapidly. If throat cankers use camphorated oil on throat. Take a long feather and soak in oil. Open fowl's beak and run feather down throat. Turn same around several times to touch every portion of the throat. Even if throat does not canker, use same measures. The seat of the disease seems to be in the throat. Another very good remedy is melted butter. Melt a little butter, let this run down the fowl's throat and also inject a little in the nostrils. It will strangle the bird and in strangling, the bird will loosen the discharge in threat and nostrils. This is the rem edy of the old nft. nft breeders. Another important feature is to keep bird eating. It soon stops eating and gets so weak that it cannot worry through treatment to a cure Green food is the very best for the sick birds. If fowls get so bad they refuse to eat put food down throat. Not too much, for their digestive organs do not work as rapidly as when in good health. Soft food that will easily digest is the best. Bread soaked in warm milk is very good. Always give grit with food to aid digestion. As soon as bird will exercise give it plenty of room, as exercise is mighty important. Don't put bird back in pen with mates until you are absolutely sure it has fully recovered. Many times you will think you have a cured bird and will neglect same. The germs have not all been killed and the trouble will return. You have to be on the lookout for some time after bird is apparently recovered. I have followed the above method of treatment for a number of seasons. It has proved very effective. We seldom lose a bird from colds or roup. It is true that we never let the disease get a good start. Head it off at the first. Lastly, let me say that you must treat the bird as you would a person. It won't do to give the remedies once a day or twice a day. You must give bird attention three or four times daily. Be as interested as a doctor or nurse would be if you were the patient, or rather as interested as you think the doctor and nurse ought to be. It is a discouraging matter to treat fowls. You must have patience. You must give attention. Once you discover a case of colds or roup, stick to the bird day in and day out until you have it back on its feet in good health. Don't kill the bird. Treat it as you would like to be treated if you were on a sick bed. If you do I'll gamble that the bird recovers. OUR CHURCHES. A PLEA FOR UNITY OF EFFORT IN THE WORK OF THE CHURCH Mr. Editor; I do not wish to enter upon a newspaper controversy, nor do I desire to utilize your space for personal magnification. I do, however, wish to protest against abusive articles appearing in our church periodicals—articles of a tenor to stir up strife between the ministry and laity of our church. The Christian church was founded by Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. Before God and before the world, there is no distinction in kind of responsibility between clergymen and laymen. It is the duty of each to pray, to plan and to work for the fulfillment of our Savior's prayer: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven." "One army of the living God, To his commands we bow; Part of the host has crossed the flood And part are crossing now." Nashville, Tenn. Yes, shoulder to shoulder, in solid phalanx, march the /soldiers of the cross, without regard to race or rank, position or title, hand in hand they go, laymen and clergymen, against the hosts of sin, over the battlements of wickedness. "Thy kingdom come, on bended knee, They every morning pray; And zealous work with hand and heart To see that kingdom's day." that kingdom's day. The church has prospered, and righteousness has flourished when priest and people have worked together in harmony. Not on'y have the laity of necessity furnished the great numerical preponderance of believers, but many of the greatest religious leaders, teachers, preachers, writers, saints and martyrs were laymen. Milton had in mind laymen as well as clergymen when he prayed: "Avenge, oh, Lord, thy slaughtered saints, Whose bones lie white on Alpine mountains cold." Moses, the great leader and lawgiver; Joshua, the religious enthusiast and mighty soldier; Hezekiah, whose days were leaghtened that he might finish his good works; David, the saint, the singer, the hero; Solomon, the wise, he of the golden speech and leaden life; Daniel of the lion's den; the Hebrew children of the fiery furnace; Zerubbabel, that rebuilt the temple, and Nehemiah, that restored the walls; St. Mark, whose mother's house was shelter for the saints; Luke, the physician and historian and apostle's companion—these are a few of the names that occur to me when I hear the flippant question, "What have laymen done towards building the church?" But that is not all—Christ himself was a baptized believer and not an ordained elder. He was a lay preacher of righteousness, whom the clergy reviled and repudiated and crucified. "Jesus, the name high over all, The name to sinners dear." thou wert and art a brother in the church of thy founding. Finally, my brethren, Methodism in general, and African Methodism in particular, both began as lay movements. What the church needs now is men—men who will make good. God give us men, is my prayer; laymen or clergymen, give us men for every place. "If I am right, thy grace impart—Still in the right to stay; If I am wrong, oh, teach my heart if I am wrong, on, teach my heart To find that better way." SUNDAY:SCHOOL UNION The Sunday-School will be held Sunday, February 18th, with the Second Baptist Church, Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor, corner of Stevens and Deluge streets. All Sunday-school superintendents, teachers and pupils are urged to be present. The discussi ton "the relation of the church to the Sunday-school," will be led by Prof. S. P. Harris, Super- intendent of the First Baptist Church Sunday-school. An interesting feature of this meeting will be the contest for a Bible to be given by the National Baptist Publishing Board to the superintendent having the largest number of representatives present. All Sunday- school workers are urgently requested to be present. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON WILL MAKE GREAT TRIP THROUGH FLORIDA Pensacola, Fla., Feb. 3.—Dr. Booker, Washington, together with a number of prominent colored people in Florida, and out of Florida, is planning to make an educational campaign through the state of Florida, beginning at Pensacola on March 1st and extending through March 7th. In some respects this will be the most important educational trip that he has made. Mr. M. M. Lewey, of Pensacola, Florida, President of the Florida State Negro Business League, is in charge of the trip, and is being liberally assisted by prominent colored people in every part of Florida. Aside from prominent colored people in Florida, who will accompany Dr. Washington, the Florida business men have invited the persons who have been in charge of Dr. Washington's tours in other states. Those who have accepted invitations from outside of Florida include such prominent persons as Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the United States Treasury, Washington, D. C.; Major R. R. Morton, of Hampton Institute, Va.; Mr. W. T. B. Williams, Field Secretary of the John F. Sister Fund; Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago; Rev. Richard Carroll, editor of The Plowman, Columbia, S. C.; Mr. John Merrick and Mr. C. C. Spaulding, of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company, Durham, North Carolina; Dr. S. G. Elbert, of Wilmington, Delaware; Dr. M. W. Gilbert, of Selma University, Selma, Alabama; Bishop George W. Clinton, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Charlotte, North Carolina; Mr. W. T. Andrews, editor of The Defender, Sumter, South Carolina; Mr. J. B. Bell, the wealthy real estate man, of Houston, Texas, and Mr. R. L. Smith, President of the Farmers' Improvement Society, of Texas. Already both men and women at the points to be touched in Florida are hard at work with the preparations. It is expected that Dr. Washington will speak briefly at many points where the train will stop for a few minutes, aside from the points already scheduled. FRANKLIN PHYSICIANS IN THE CITY. Drs. H. C. Robins and B. F. McCoy, of Franklin, have been in the city several days attending the lectures of Meharry Medical College. The lectures are being rendered by Dr. Dan Williams, of Chicago, and other members of the faculty.

They attended the Lincoln Normal School, a branch of Talladega College. At the age of seven his parents, John and Mary Saunders, moved to Birmingham, Ala., and he entered the seventh grade at St. Mark's Episcopal School, frm which institution he finished at NOTICE.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 9. 1912. South M. 4159-L. the age of 10 years. On the first of Juy he took the State examination for teachers and passed creditably. He began teaching on October 1st, 1907, and taught school for two years, thus gaining much valuable insight in human nature. During the summer months he studied under a private tutor. On September 14, 1909, he entered the Medical Department of Meharry Medical College, and in which institution he is now a junior medical student. From a lad he has been interested in theatricals and he says that the first play he ever saw impressed him so much that he can recall it now. After seeing this play he went home and secured money from his mother to buy dolls and he began his first peep show. From this on he continued with his peep show until he nearly set the house on fire trying to imitate the "burning house" he had seen on the stage in a local theatre. His mother then forbade his giving any more peep shows. Every year he was a participant in the annual play at St. Mark's. He once wrote a comic opera called "The Hummingbird," which never had any music on account of his musical partner. Mr. R. L. Smith helped him to write the love-scene, which was beautiful beyond description. For two years Mr. Saunders had the plot of "The Adjuster" in his mind. At first he thought to make it a farce. During the past summer he studied play-writing from every angle, reading everything on the subject he could get, and then he began to work on "The Adjuster." The result of Mr. Saunders will reflect credit upon great commendation and some day Mr. Saunders will reflect credit upon the race and upon himself. We hope for him much success. The orchestra, under the leader ship of Mr. Camack, rendered excellent music. No. 1133. Wm. Burman (Alias McFerrin) vs. Amanda Burman. Amanda Burman.

Rhines, Solicitor for Complainant. NEW THEATER COMPLETED (Continued from Page 1) (Continued from Page 1) some of the best shows on the road. The shows will come to Louisville, and from Louisville to this city, taking their choice from Nashville to Birmingham, or Atlanta. The first show occurred the season was the Smart Set, a show that needs no introduction, and in all probability the Black Patti Troubadours will follow this. A glance at the theater by a Globe representative, exterior and interior, shows a two-story, pressed brick, glass front structure, built on the modern office building style, with two up-to-date business establishments domiciled on the first floor. The front of the theater entrance shows up in an imposing way—leading back into the building in a northward direction extending to the depth of 170 feet—a magnificent auditorium, which will serve as the first floor and parquet of the theater proper. Two boxes, one on each side of the stage with splendid entrances and exits, and folding chairs enabling the floor to be used for receptions and banquets, and makes up first story. The balcony has a splendid incline where stationary cushion chairs are to be used for the benefit of the theater-goers; there are also two boxes on the floor. Ventilation all over the ceiling by which a constant suction of air in warm weather will guarantee a cool and pleasant auditorium is also assured. A galvanized iron operating house for moving picture shows, fire proof in its construction, is just above the balcony, commanding a beautiful view of the stage. On the stage proper there is the most modern electrical stage appliances, switch board, light conduits, and even fire proof casements, making the auditorium absolutely secure from the stage in case of fire, these have been installed at an enormous expense. Dressing rooms, leading off from the stage entrance with a rear entrance and exit for stage employees, was one of the notable modern improvements. The stage itself is large and commanding; it will enable the Majestic to handle some of the heaviest troops on the road. The Majestic, which is located on Cedar street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues, North, has a seating capacity of probably about 1,440. The formal opening, to which the entire city of Nashville will be invited to inspect and criticise, has not as yet been announced, nowwithstanding several prominent and stellar attractions have been pulled off. It was only Christmas week when the celebrated Morgan Minstrel held the board at the Majestic for one week. The coming of the entertainment last week was but the beginning of a long series of attractions that will make theatergoing less edious and more attractive. The sum and substance of the whole upward move on the part of these enterprising citizens, as shown by the A. N. Johnson, who in his special line has not only demonstrated his far-sightedness in this attempt, but has proven that he has abiding faith in Nashville's desire for such a playhouse as well as her intentions to support it in the future.

JOHNSON-MITCHELL FIGHT. Young Jack Johnson and Kid Mitchell will meet Wednesday night at the Hermitage Athletic Club for the middleweight championship of the South. All indications are that the bout will be a gruelling contest, where all the skill and ring generalship must be brought into play. Both fighters have been working hard and are in good condition for the mill... THE NASHVILLE CHORAL SOCIETY (Continued from Page 1) tively assured him that the colored people could attend and be accorded equal accommodations. Fully a thousand of Nashville's best colored people were in the audience. The concert was on the high order and it deserves praise and appreciation of the citizens of Nashville. Every selection was rendered in a pleasing way, and they received the hearty applause of the large audience. On several occasions the director was compelled to refuse to respond to encores as the programme was very lengthy in itself. But despite this, it was necessary to yield to the applause sometimes. As a rule the white audiences applaud the Negro folk songs more heartily than they do classical music when rendered by Negroes, but so well were the classics rendered that the same appreciation was shown of these on this occasion. Especially was this true when the chorus sang "Wynken, Blylynen and Nod," "Sacrifices or God," "Boatman's Good Night." Miss Madeline Carter deserves special mention for her Obligato singing, and GOOD PRELIMINARIES Admission 75c. & $1.00 the same must be said of Mrs. H. A. Cameron, who led "Sewance River." Prof. John W. Work, in singing "I Hear You Calling Me," was at his best. Also the quartett that rendered "Don't You Cry, My Honey," was well received by the audience. Too much praise cannot be given to the Director and every member of the Society for the effort put forth in this concert. It bespeaks a great future for this organization, and in a short while Nashville can boast of one of the best, if not the very best Choral Societies in the South. The soiolists were Mesdaiges C. O. Hadley, H. A. Cameron and D. A. Hart, Miss Madeline Carter and Prof. J. W. Work. The quartett was composed of Messrs. J. W. Work, S. S. Carnuthers, M. V. Boutte and Henry Patton. The following is the program as rendered in full: PART I. "Steal Away to Jesus" (Negro Folk Song); "Among the Lilies" (Cizubalu Venatles); "Sing A-ho" (Negro Folk Song); "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" (Neveri), Obligato, Miss Madeline Carter; "Shout All Over God's Heaven" (Negro Folk Song); "There is Joy" (Vincent). PART II. "Sewance River" (Arranged), Mrs. H. A. Cameron and Chorus; "Great Camp Meeting" (Negro Folk Song); "I Hear You Calling Me" (Marshall), John W. Work; "Sacrifices of God," (Vincent); "Boatman's Good Night," (Schira); "Don't You Cry My Honey" (Noil-H. J. H. Smith); "Swing Low Sweet Charlot" (Negro Folk Song). There was only one feature to mar the evening's entertainment. As has been stated above, Prof. Work was positively assured by the white pastor of the said Methodist Church that he had rented the Auditorium and would accord the colored people equal accommodations. He specifically stated that they would not be asked to enter the side entrance and that there would be no screens in the house, and that seats would be provided for the colored patrons down stairs and upstairs. On the strength of this Prof. Work had printed special tickets and put them into the hands of the members of the Society to sell. The pastors of the Negro churches urged their congregations to attend, feeling that the Society should be encouraged, and also having sympathy for this white struggling church; and the colored people were surprised when they reached the Auditorium and the doorkeepers, in very uncouth language, ordered them to "go around to the side door." It was also discovered that a long strip of white cloth had been stretched in the balcony as a screen between white and colored people. As soon as Prof. Work entered the house he protested against this arrangement, and informed Mr. De Long Rice, manager of the auditorium, that he had been assured by the pastor of the church for which the concert was given that no such arrangements would be in vogue. He explained to him that he had told this gentleman that the Society was organized for the specific purpose of giving concerts for colored people, and that he would not bring this Society to the Auditorium unless colored people could come and be accorded equal privileges; but Mr. Rice positively refused to move the screen. His plea was that the State law required such and said he did not desire to do so, but that he could not break the law. It was pointed out to him that in the Vendome Theater white and colored people sit on the same floor with only an aisle separating them. To this he replied that there was a vast difference between a balcony and gallery, and that there was no gallery in the Auditorium. It appeared to be a queer interpretation of the law; but he pleaded with the manager of the Society to go on with the entertainment and please not to get him in bad. After thirty minutes of discussion the concert proceeded, and was carried out according to the program. But the colored people of Nashville feel very much chagrined at the treatment they received; and it is not likely that they ever again patronize any entertainment given at the auditorium by white people or for them. They have not heretofore gone there in any numbers. It is seldom that as many as a half dozen attend any of the concerts given there, for the simple reason that they do not see any need for subjecting themselves to such humiliation, for they can give just as good concerts and can secure musicians and singers of national reputation to entertain them, and the concert on Tuesday night proved beyond a doubt that right in Nashville a Choral Society can be organized and maintained that can give concerts worthy of the approval of any audience in the country.
