NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. JIM JOHNSON SHOOTS FOREMAN Vol. VII. TRAGEDY OCCURED IN CONSTRUCTION CAMP The Assailant Makes Good His Escape Shooting Outcome of Mack Voits Imposition—Attempted to Shoot Johnson But Too Slow—Man Who Did Shooting Believed to be Wanted in Oklahoma —He Will Recover. Wednesday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock Jim Johnson, a laborer employed by the Walton-McDowell Construction Company, Railroad Contractors, doing work near Brentwood, shot Mack Voit, the superintendent of the railroad work that was being done there. From what can be learned it is alleged that Mack Voit went to Johnson's cabin and attempted to force him to work against his will, and a heated discussion ensued, when the white man drew his pistol and attempted to shoot Johnson, but Johnson was too quick for him; he whipped his gun into action and before Voit could shoot Johnson had put two bullets into his body and he lay prostrate on the ground. There were quite a number of men in the camp, the majority of whom were white, and Johnson realized his danger and beat a hasty retreat from the camp. When ast seen he was making his way to the woody section of the country. Mack Voit was given attention by members of the crew and the camp physician, and as soon as possible was conveyed to Nashville, where his wounds were dressed in Douglass Infirmary. The sheriff was quickly notified and was soon on the scene with his deputies, where they were joined by a party of men and friends from the community, and a hot pursuit was begun. It was a rainy day and the heavy mist covering the country made the pursuit difficult. A careful search was made in the surrounding country for miles, but at last accounts Johnson had not been apprehended. It has been learned since the trouble that the real name of Johnson is Everett Lincoln, and that he is wanted in Oklahoma for killing a deputy sheriff in that state. Police in Nashville arrested two men Wednesday evening, Sam Johnson and Jim Wade, by name, and brought them to the police station with the belief that they had caved Jim Johnson and the man, it is said, that left the camp with him; but Mr. Tidwall, foreman of Section Gang No. 3 of the N. C. & St. L Railway, identified Johnson and Wade as men who had been working with his crew for several months. Consequently they were released. The officers are on a close watch and are making a vigilant search for Jim Johnson, alias Everett Lincoln, but are careful that they don't run upon the man on surprise, and he is believed to be a desperate character. They know he is well armed and expect him to put up desperate fight before surrender. desperate fight before surrendering. BIBLE NORMAL A SUCCESS. Special to the Globe. Columbia, Tenn., Feb. 19.—The Bible Normal school, which is being conducted by Rev. B. L. Ivory, D. D., pastor of the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, is doing a great work in the way of instructing the young ministers of this section for the better preparation of preaching the gospel. The school is supported by the Duck River Baptist Association; it was organized some years ago under the supervision of Rev. J. B. Sprattin, D. D., former pastor of the above church, and moderator of the Association. It is run under the supervision of a Board of Directors, viz.: Revs. R. Hayden, chairman; M. F. Riley, Secretary and Treasurer; J. W. Sherrell, and B. L. Ivory, D. D., Principal. KNOWLES SCHOOL ALLIANCE MEETING.

SUBSCRIPTION, $1.50 A YEAR. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. $100,000 REAL ESTATE DEAL Put Through by Texas Negroes 100,000 Eyes of Country Centered on Lone Star State—Houston Negroes Move Encouraging to Others—Big Baptist Meet— Houston, Texas, Feb. 19th.—$100,000 is the amount in actual value, according to the Harris Co. of the deal just closed in this city, by some of the leading business men of the race. Houston was all atir, when it was known that the entire block in the down town district of Milam street had changed hands. This means that two blocks, one facing the other on Milam street, right in the busiest part of Houston, will be controlled by Negro merchants, professional and business men. In the block that has just been purchased for the sum of $100,000 there is located the Western Star Publishing Company, Lethridge and Gilmore, Printers, The Bayou City Drug Store, The Oregon Realty Company, Dr. Love, the Texas Freeman and several large grocery, dry goods and hardware stores. By this deal the Negroes of Houston, Texas, will forge to the front as owners of valuable real estate, especially as this is within one block of the magnificent auditorium erected as the cost of $100,000, several modern hotels and within one block of the famous Houston Market, as well as being in close proximity to the magnificent Postoffice and Custom House that has just been erected. Logically speaking Houston is the bee-hive city of Texas, as it is claimed there is a population of 50,000 Negroes in this city, out of a total possible population of 80,000. Preparations to entertain the National Baptist Convention are being made rapidly as is this but one of the many mammoth strides that the Negroes of this county will make in showing themselves enterprising citizens in the eyes of the Baptists of the United States, when they congregate here next September. A PROMINENT NASHVILLE PHY SICIAN. In the medical profession in the South, Nashville can boast of many successful men. They are known the length and breadth of the country. Many of them have not only been suceeful in their profession, but have shown a marked degree of business tact. Prominent among this class of physicians in this city is Dr. F. A. Stewart, a most progressive surgeon, who came to Nashville more than twenty years ago. Since that time he has been continually engaged in the practice of his profession in this city. He is a graduate of the Classical Department of Fisk University and the Medical Department of Harvard University in Boston, Mass., where he graduated in 1888 at the head of a DR. F. A. STEWART. class of 100, 99 of whom were white. For eighteen years he held the chair of Pathology in Meharry Medical College, but for the past five years has been Professor of Surgery in that noted institution. During the recent clinic held by Dr. Daniel Williams in which more than twenty-five patients were successful treated, Dr. Stewart was in charge and personally operated upon several of the most difficult cases. During the present school session he has done many rare and noted operations in Hubbard Hospital—the home of clean surgery. Dr. Stewart is a most successful business man. He is the owner of a large amount of valuable real estate in this city, his renting income running into thousands annually. Dr. Stewart believes in the future of the Negro, and is certain that the discriminations and prejudices with which he has to contend are really beneficial in that they are teaching NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY FEBRUARY 23, 1912. PROF. BRISTER BRINGS NEWS HE WENT ON EDUCATIONAL TOUR Greatly Encouraged Over the Outlook Sees Bright Future for Negro Normal in Tennessee—Visited Hampton and Other Points—Industrial Feature of Work Appealed to Prof. J. W. Brister, who recently returned from Washington, had the following to say about educational matters: I have had a pleasant, and I hope profitable trip. I went first to Washington, where I had conferences with Dr. Clayton, United States Commissioner of Education, and with experts in his office on educational questions; also with Messrs. Rose and Bourland, old Nashville men, who represent the Peabody Education Board and the Southern Education Board; and with specialists in the Agricultural Department on the problems of rural life and of the rural school as one of the important factors in that life. I am thoroughly confirmed in my judgment that the condition of educational progress in the rural districts is the consolidated school, and it is interesting to know that our situation is not unique in this respect: the country who are trying to improve the rural school situation are insisting upon consolidation and transportation as absolutely necessary. Another pressing need of the rural school, as we have already pointed out in Tennessee, is in the matter of supervision. Here is another problem on which educators are at work, and we hope in Tennessee to join with the other states in securing more adequate and capable supervision and direction of the rural schools. I may say just here that we propose to conduct an educational campaign in the state this summer covering every county with the special purpose of creating sentiment in favor of consolidation. We realize that we need to agitate this question and inform the people as to its advantages, and know that when they are informed as to the greater efficiency of consolidated schools they will respond to our appeal and co-operate with us. Of course there will be other issues to be presented in this campaign, but the matter of consolidation will be made prominent in all our meetings. My special purpose, however, on this trip was to visit some Negro schools to study their organization with a view of more intelligently assisting in the organization of the Agricultural and Industrial Normal School for Negroes that will soon be opened in Tennessee. I went to Hampton, the site of one of the greatest Negro schools in the world. I also visited the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes located near Potersburg, Va., a state school very similar in size and equipment to that which we can start in Tennessee. At both of these schools I was impressed with the emphasis which is placed upon the agricultural and industrial features and the serious endeavor to dignify labor, to create respect for those occupations which have generally been regarded as most menial. All of the instruction, even in the purely academic studies, so far as I could observe, was concerned with problems of real life. It seemed to grow out of human needs, and the various activities of the school were directed towards the accomplishment of things that were vital and necessary to be done. I am sure that these features of the educational process would be helpful to all our schools, white as well as colored, and it is my hope that we shall be able to establish here at Nashville this school for Negroes that will give them that type of education which will be best for them and for the State. We have a chance to organize a splendid institution for them here, and I know nothing that I would rather do than to assist in directing it along right lines. him self-reliance, race-pride and economy. The colored citizens of Nashville are proud in the boast that in this city there are many such successful physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists. PROMINENT VISITORS TO VISIT NASHVILLE, I. There is to come out of Indianapolis, Indiana, during the summer, a large delegation of visitors who will make Nashville a stop over town en route to Tuskegee. This delegation is to be led by Rev. G. Wm. Ward, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of that city, who a number of years ago pastored the Memorial Baptist Church at Chattanooga. BISHOP TYREE IN THE EAST. Bishop Evans Tyree, D. D., who was appointed by the Bishops' Council to succeed the late Bishop Galnes, is now on his new work. PROMINENT VISITORS AT WALDEN University Choir Furnishes Splendid Music—Dean Hubbard Introduces Visitors—Editor of Record-Herald Among Number—Many Complimentary Expressions Heard. Meharry Auditorium was the scene of a splendid spectacle at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, the 21st inst., when the students of the several departments of Walden University and Meharry Colleges, together with several members of the faculty, assembled at that edifice to welcome a party of distinguished visitors from the city of Chicago, which included Mr. Julius Rosenwald, noted philanthropist, and Mrs. Rosenwald, Mr. H. Kohlsaat, editor of the Chicago Record-Herald; Dr. W. A. Harris, president of Northwestern University; Judge J. W. Mack, president of the United States Court of Commerce and Mrs. Mack, and several other ladies and gentlemen of prominence. The university choir, under Prof. I. Berry, was in attendance, and greatly augmented the splendor and enjoyment of the occasion by singing some beautiful selections. The Meharry Quartette, too, was at its best, and, in a great degree, delighted the guests. The jersey was introduced to Dr. G. W. Hubbard, Dean of Meharry College, by Mr. Rosenwald, after which the choir having interposed one of their selections, the Dean, for the information of his guests, reviewed the history of the Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Colleges, showing their growth and development, and at the same time expressed gratitude for the donation of Mr. Rosenwald towards the fund for the completion of the Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital. Dr. W. A. Harris, president of Northwestern University, was at this juncture called upon to speak. In responding he expressed his great delight in visiting the institution, and admired the splendid work that was being done, and lauded the name of Dr. Hubbard, whom he regarded as being engaged in a noble and worthy cause. Judge Mack, who was the next speaker, spoke with fiery eloquence; he emphasized the importance of character-building and the necessity of due preparation for the various vocations of life. Mr. Rosenwald, in introducing the several members of the party to the student body, made comments on the former that were both interesting and encouraging. He said that they were all interested in the work of the colored people of the South, and further exhorted the students to courage, perseverance and fortitude. The party, led by Dr. Hubbard, left the auditorium for a short visit to the Hubbard Hospital, where they pressed themselves as being greatly pleased with the arrangement and methods which they found at that institution. The party left amid deafening cheers for a visit to Belmont College. EXPOSE PLOT AGAINST G. A. R. that persons in the employ of the government in the pension department have been influenced to become politically active in an effort to present more money being paid by the United States to veterans of the civil war became known today, says Chicago Daily Journal of the 10th. Congressman Isaac R. Sherwood, author of the Sherwood service pension bill, has sent warning broadcast throughout the country. The following letter was received by The Journal from him today: To the Editor of the Journal: Capt. George O. Shields, a veteran soldier of New York City, calls my attention to the fact that the pension bureau of Washington, D. C. is now opposing any additional pension legislation. It is claimed that the pension bureau is now engaged in trying to muddle the situation, in order to defeat any general pension legislation at this session of congress. Capt. Shields includes an article, clipped from the New York Times, and signed L. N. B., in which the writer claims to be one of that large class of traveling pension examiners, employed by the pension bureau. I quote from this L. N. B. as printed in the New York Times: "Having lately been on a tour as a special examiner for the United States pension bureau in various parts of the country. I am in position to testify from personal knowledge that there is no call from any direction for the passage of any new legislation in the matter of pensions—not even from the soldiers themselves. Not only that, but there is a well-defined hostility among the people to such legislation as the Sherwon bill embodies." MOB ATTACKS HANDCUFFED MEN Mob Attacks Handcuffed Prisoners in Courthouse—Citizens Lend Aid—Wat Green Killed—Others Wounded—No Arrests. In the Courthouse at, Shelbyville last Monday, a mob of 50 visitors joined a mob of between one and two thousand citizens and they proceeded to the County Courthouse, where they took charge of three handcuffed prisoners, and beat and shot them to death. The men were charged with the murder of a white man and had been carried to Court for a preliminary trial. The bloody deed was committed about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and in the presence of the judge, the sheriff, with twenty deputies, but no arrests were made. After killing one of the prisoners in the Courthouse, a low man with black mustache was pushed through a glass door into a room where the prisoners had been carried, and in the presence of a dozen or more deputy sheriffs this lone man shot the two other prisoners, and then slowly and carefully crawled out through the glass door and walked across the street to a drug store to get a drink. He then walked leisurely to the station and waited for the train, which left at 4:20. The chief detective of the N. C. & St. L. Railway was an eye witness to the whole affair. According to a report in the Nashville Banner. The Governor has offered a reward of $500 for each member of the mob convicted. The Nashville Banner says: Several Names Given. According to Gov. Hooper the officers at Shelbyville claim that not a single Bedford County man was in the mob, but that persons who attended the trial from adjoining counties composed the mob, which attacked the deputies and shot Greer and later probably fatally wounded Neal. He stated, also that five or six names were given him as men who had been recognized when the mob made the attack. Gov. Hooper also stated that Sheriff Williams was not requested to put deputies on the train which left Shelbyville for Nashville until after the train had departed, and that he had contemplated putting an organized force on a special to meet the train from Shelbyville, but the train was already in Davidson County before this intention could be carried out and the reward was offered in the hope that the leaders would be apprehended and prosecuted. According to Chief Special Agent Alex Barthell of the N., C. & St. L., who was among those from Nashville who attended the trial, Greer attempted to jump over a balcony when the mob sought to secure the prisoners from the Sheriff's forces, but being handcuffed to the other prisoners his attempted escape resulted in his being shot. Mr. Barthell also stated that the Sheriff and his deputies put up a game fight and succeeded in getting the prisoners into a room in the building where the doors were barricaded. He stated that later the doors were broken in by the mob and when he saw the Negroes he thought they had been killed as they were both lying on the floor. He said that Nashville men did not lead the mob, but that the fight was a general one. WOMAN'S BAPTIST MISSIONARY MEETS MARCH J. The quarterly meeting of the Woman's Missionary and Educational Union will be held at the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, Friday, March 1st, both afternoon and evening. The afternoon session will open promptly at three o'clock, and there will be a most interesting program. Mrs. William Haynes will tell of the work of the "Settlement Club" in the neighborhood of Roger Williams University. Mrs. M. A. Kenney will tell something of the students' life at Roger Williams. A representative of Kayne Avenue Sunshine Band will recite. Special music will be given under the superintendance of Mrs. A. M. Townsend. The evening program opens at eight o'clock. Rev. W. S. E. Ellington will lead the devotional service; Miss Hattie Minniss will recite; Miss Estelle Montague will give a select reading, and Miss Lorilla E. Bushnell will conduct a missionary program. The music of the evening will be furnished by the choir of the First Baptist Church. I believe this is the first time in the history of the government that the pension bureau has been used to defeat needed and adequate pension legislation. Very sincerely yours, ISAAC R. SHERWOOD. That investigation will follow seems certain. The hand of the trust newspapers of Chicago is seen in this attempt to block pension legislation. Meharry Y. M. C. A. was very ably addressed on Sunday afternoon, the 18th inst., by Rev. W. F. Anderson, of Hubbard Chapel, of this city, who spoke on "The Use of Opportunities."

KEEPING AN EYE ON THE OLD HOME. Hon. Geo. T. Robinson, a former resident of this city, but now of Oklahoma, writes an encouraging letter to a Pythian friend. His letter follows: Boynton, Okla., Feb. 7, 1912, Damon Lodge No. 2, K. of P. I have just read in the Nashville Globe the account of our case so far as our Supreme Court is concerned, and that masterly editorial, and I was forced to take fresh courage and stand by you to the last ditch, win or lose. Heretofore I have waited for a statement of my account before remitting, but we are in the midst of a big fight, a death struggle—but now it seems like cowardice to wait longer for the usual notice. Here is another V on my dues. If it takes this and all the order to help make the fight, let it go; but I trust and pray we shall win; but win or lose, if you desire me to help further command me. Best wishes to broth ers of the craft. Yours in F. C. B, GEO. T.

At a late hour the guests were invited into the spacious hall, where a two-course menu was served. Those present were Misses Mary I. Avent, Annie and Frances Haynes, Beulah Jordan, Abigail Hugle, Eisa Mason, Jennie V. White, Jessie Tillage and Lottie Ravin, Messrs. Joe Holkins, Albert Smith, Walker Inrow, Milton Ward, Osean and Eugene Mason, Charlie Anderson, C. V. Vaughter and J. S. Kage Mr. and Mrs. Joe Howse and Mrs. Isabella Mason. Miss Hugle will send in her subscription again soon, as she likes the Globe so much. Miss Dillie Butler will give a school entertainment next Thursday night. Mr Anthony Inrow, of Nashville, was the guest of Miss Ella Mason last Sunday. SHELBYVILLE NOTES. The Mutual Aid Association gave a most pleasing "Valentine Party" at Ransom's Hall last Thursday night. A neat program was rendered. Prof. T. T. Ransom, the Worthy Grand Commander of the order, sang a solo and delivered an address, which was highly enjoyed by all. Other speakers were Rev. William Cannon and Rev. James Crump. Dr. J. A. Jones was present and responded to a call to make a few remarks. This Society is growing in power and influence in this community. Rev. A. P. Gray preached at the A. M. E. Church last Sunday night to a good congregation. He will hold his quarterly meeting there next Sunday. The services at the M. E. Church on Sunday afternoons are proving quite popular. Rev. G. R. Norman preached for Rev. A. Ransom at the M. E. Church last Sunday at 3 o'clock. It was a strong sermon and seemed to have been enjoyed by all. Mr. N. N. Reynolds, of Pulaski, the Grand Lecturer of the Court of Calanthe, was in the town last Saturday and Sunday on a business trip. He visited Turner Normal College, where he has a daughter in school. The "Stauss and Stripes' Jubilee" rendered by the students of Turner Normal last Friday night was a great success. Many were heard to say that it was the most pleasing entertainment of its kind that they had ever witnessed. Mr. Philip Jordan represented "Uncle Sam," and Miss Bertha Chavers represented "Columbia." Both acted their parts well, besides all the characters performed their roles to perfection. The great drama, "Queen Esther," which is to be presented next Tuesday night at the city Auditorium, promises to be the most brilliant dramatic production that has been exhibited by colored people in Shelbyville. Some of Turner Normal's best talent are engaged in this play. Miss Cleo Buchanan, of Shelbyville, takes the part of Queen Esther, and Miss Robbie Lee Jones, of Nashville, represents Vashti. There will be more than fifty persons in the play. Mr. Burrel Tillman has returned from Nashville, where he went to have an operation performed a few weeks ago. He is improving. The Ladies' Aid Society of Scott's Chapel gave an entertainment at the church last Wednesday night in celebration of the pastor's fortieth birthday anniversary. It was a very pleasant affair and a handsome sum was realized. A crowd of white men came in on the train last Monday from Nashville and other points along the road to attend the trial of the Negro boys who throw the special officer off the train a couple of weeks ago, killing him. After the trial was concluded an attempt was made by some of them to mob the boys. One of the boys was killed and the other wounded. The mob was resisted by the officers and quiet was soon restored. Considerable exertion ensued for a few minutes. Mr Hatton Buchanan is again at home having come to remain for the rest of the spring. The senior English class at Turner Normal has organized with Mr. John E. Fulton, of Harms, valedictorian, and Miss Robbie Lee Jones, of Nashville, salutarian. Miss Georgia Malone, of Pulaski, will be the only Normal graduate. May 1st will be commencement day. PARIS NOTES We are glad to note that after several weeks' illness Mrs. Millie Dumas, Mr. Tobe Porter and Mr. Albert Hudson are convalescent. The entertainment given by Mrs. Frank Kirby on the 17th inst., to Mrs. J. S. Kelly was quite enjoyable. The decoration was very pretty and every one present had a delightful time. Mrs. T. W. Hampton and Rev, and Mrs. Kelly dined with Mrs. Samuel Cooper the 18th inst. Rev. G. P. Woodson and members of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church have organized the B. Y. P. U. which is anticipated being much help to the church. Dr. C. M. Powell was called to Henry this week on professional duties. Mrs. Cora Johnson is reported some better. A lively social party surprised Miss Ludy Waddy on the 18th inst. For all kinds of fancy groceries call on Mr. George Hudson. For excellent medical treatment call on Dr. C. M. Powell and Dr. J. F. Williams. FULTON (KY.) NOTES. Bishop Allen Day program was observed last Sunday evening at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. A good congregation was out. Mrs. A. E. Warfield, Mrs. Lela Mann and Miss Pearl Crutchfield did honor to themselves and to the occasion. Mrs. T. H. Barnes played and Mrs. Montgomery took the collection. The ladies of the C. M. E. and A. M. E. churches will play the "Old Mald's Convention," a drama, at the C. M. E. Church the first Friday night in March, for the benefit of the two pastors. The Free Will Baptist and the C. M. E. churches had a rally Sunday. The results are not known at this writing. Dr. Hampton left Monday for Paris, Tenn., his home. The Sunday-school at the A. M. E. Church is growing in interest. If the people of Fulton want to keep up they must read the Globe; not only in Fulton, but anywhere in the state. Maggie Rowlett, Mrs. Nancy Smith and Mrs. Montgomery are the leaders in the Old Mald's Convention. Miss J-well Rowlett was given a gold necklace for her good work for the Fair Association last Saturday night. Dr. Bowling, the pastor of the M. E. Church, South, (white) will preach at the A. M. E. Church the first Sunday in March. The doctor is an old friend of the A. M. E. pastor, and would be glad to have a good congregation out to hear him. Mrs. R. A. Howard is building up her class in Sunday-school. A CORRECTION. Columbia, Tenn., Feb. 19, 1912. Nashville Globe: As secretary of the Tennessee Delegation to the general conference of the A. M. E. Church, I wish to offer a small correction to the report made through your columns two weeks ago, touching the meeting in Bethel A. M. E. Church at Nashville, February 6th. That report states that the meeting endorsed the candidacy of Dr. J. A. Jones, Dr. G. W. Allen, Dr. J. P. Ransom and the Merger proposition of Prof. Ira T. Bryant and left all other considerations in the hands of a steering committee. The report is correct with regard to the above endorsements, but is not correct with regard to all other men and measures being left in the hands of the steering committee. The six per cent. proportion of Dr. W. A. Lewis, with reference to the Connectional Preacher's Aid Society, was endorsed as well as Mr. Bryant's proposition. The same G. W. Porter who offered the motion to endorse Mr. Bryant's proposition, offered a motion to endorse Dr. Lewis' proposition, and it was the only endorsement before the meeting which brought out any kind of heated discussion. Mr. Bryant opposed the endorsement in a speech of fully an hour's length and was replied to by Dr. J. H. Smith, Rev. H. E. Rye and G. W. Porter. Rev. A. P. Gray tried to get in a substitute for the C. P. A. but failed to get a hearing and the proposition of Dr. W. A. Lewis received the unanimous endorsement of the delegation. I feel it my duty as secretary of that meeting to offer this correction, believing as I do the Globe has no disposition to leave Dr. Lewis in the light which its reporter placed him by omitting to mention his endorsement, while all others are mentioned. G. W. PORTER, Secretary. FARMERS AND CITIZENS BANK. Important Meeting of the Bank in Palestine Held in Texas. Information has just reached the city to the effect that the Farmers' and Citizens Savings Bank, located at Palestine, Tex., has just held its annual meeting.

Be Not Deceived Things happen from time to time that seem strange, and men do things that are least expected of them; but these are conditions with which humanity has to contend. It has been so from the beginning of time, and shows no signs of suspension. All men must grapple with these conditions. Laws are made, not for a class, but for all: Every man is amenable to the law whether he understands it or not. 1912 is an election year from magistrate to the president of the United States. It is a time when the souls of black men are tried every way conceivable. He is singled out as a target, and every man who announces himself for an office begins to figure on the Negro. The object is to beguile him and get his support on election day without making any definite promises for the same. There seems to be a general understanding that the Negro must be intimidated prior to the national elections, and it is a fact that on many occasions white men have actually incited riots for the specific purpose of discouraging Negroes to take any active part in political affairs. Ben Tillman, the Senator who has gained a deal of notoriety by his attacks upon the Negro, boasts that in South Carolina they have mobbed Negroes to frighten others away from the polls. He takes special pride in referring to the record of some white men of South Carolina. This is not only true in South Carolina, but of other southern states as well. Where conditions are somewhat different there are other methods adopted. All aiming at the same thing, viz., to use the Negro in a way that subserves the interest of the white man best. For example: two white men are running for office in a community where Negroes vote. Each one has set about to beguile the Negroes. The man in office, if he gets a chance, will pretend that he is making a great effort to protect some Negro prisoner, and at the same time will allow them to be intimidated, and in some cases, violently abused, with the hope that his act will serve a double purpose. His aim is to satisfy the Negroes by making them believe that he is a friend to black people; and at the same time he aims to satisfy a certain white constituency by allowing them to perpetrate some fiendish deed upon a helpless Negro. Negro voters will have to read between the lines, so to speak; they will have to use good judgment in voting. They must decide that the old habit of closing the stable door after the horse is out will not do, but that men who are entrusted with the execution of the law must do their whole duty. They must be men who can see danger approaching, and before it is too late to make preparation to guard against it. No man is fit to hold office who is so stupid as to allow himself to be caught in a predicament that renders him powerless to do his duty. These times need courageous men, and Negro voters must look well to these things. They must not allow a smile and a pat on the back deceive them, but must insist that nothing will suffice but the faithful performance of duty according to law. Shelbyville Moh Last week an article appeared in the columns of the Globe heralding to the world that no mob would be allowed to molest the three Negro prisoners who were in jail at Shelbyville, Tenn. It appeared at that time that reason would rule, and that the wishes of the best citizens of that community would prevail; but on Monday of this week a mob formed in that quiet town and deliberately shot three men who were handcuffed and being led back to jail by the sheriff of the county and his deputies. This mob was orderly as usual. They were fearless and deniant for in broad daylight they committed the deed, and the case is so disgusting that words fail to express the absurdity of it. Think of it! The officers who were to conduct the preliminary trial could not see that the town had filled up with strangers and that the prisoners' lives were in danger. If this had been the first mob that ever assembled in Tennessee there would be some excuse; but it is no new thing. White people are well acquainted with the acts of mobs. They could not help but know that the men who came into Shelbyville that morning were bent on doing mischief. No precautions were taken, for the court room was crowded to its utmost capacity, and for no other purpose than to be present when these three Negroes would be brought in for trial. There was a crowd on the scene even before the men were taken out of jail; and who will believe that the sheriff could not tell or did not suspect that his prisoners would be molested? He does not believe it himself. But this has happened and adds another bloody chapter to the history of Tennessee and the South. A reward has been offered by the Governor for the arrest of the participants in the mob. He has been very liberal, in fact, has gone the full extent in that respect. It remains to be seen whether any of the parties will be arrested or not. It has been stated that it is doubtful if the people of Bedford County would encourage such a step. It is known that unless the authorities in the county where the crime was committed sanction the prosecution of the offenders, that nothing will be done. The Chief Detective of the railroad was present and witnessed, he says, the affair. So it will be an easy matter to apprehend the guilty parties. It could have been done that day. Why it was not done can best be answered by the sheriff of Bedford County. It is reported that fifteen deputies were sworn in to protect the prisoners, and that they became so righteened and confused that they could not prevent a man breaking a glass door, crawling through a small hole and shooting two prisoners handcuffed and already beaten into insensibility. He then made his exit through the same hole, and yet they could not arrest him. It is prepositional to think of and it is too ridiculous to tell an intelligent nation that these men could not have arrested that one lyncher or one murderer. The whole thing looks like a premeditated and concocted scheme to butcher up three helpless Negro men. Tennessee is joining a group of other southern states in their diabolical lynching crusade. No on knows, no one can tell, where the next outbreak will be. It did seem for a season that reason was taking good root in this commonwealth, but recent occurrences argue strongly against such a conclusion. There must be a reaction somewhere at some time. Such conditions cannot obtain in a country where civilization has attained the height it has in the United States. The Deadly Weapon. Constantly it is brought to the attention of the American people that the habit of carrying concealed weapons is allowed to go on too generally in this country. A brave man never feels that he needs to carry a small artillery on his person to protect him against his fellowmen. It is only a coward, or one who is bent on doing mischief, that is never contented unless he has on his person a deadly weapon. It is an easy using for fifty or a hundred deputy sheriffs to be assembled in less than thirty minutes. It has gotten to the place where nobody knows who are deputy sheriffs. They are so common that every white man you meet is liable to have on his person a concealed weapon and to feel that he is a guardian of the peace. The deplorable affair reported from Brentwood would never have happened had not the superintendent of the work gone to the cabin of the laborer armed. It is possible in most cases to reason with men, if they are approached in the right way, but it is never safe to try to force the most ignorant man to do a thing he does not believe you have the right to compel him to do. Negroes are not insolent, as a rule. They are willing to work when treated with any degree of consideration, but the saying that a worm will eventually turn if tread on toe often may be applied to the most humble creature in the world. It is to be regretted that this unfortunate affair happened, but it is brought out, however, that the man who did the shooting was not a resident of any portion of Tennessee, but is a fugitive from justice from the state of Oklahoma. There are thousands of honest, conscientious laboring Negroes in Tennessee who will be glad to do all the work there is to be done on the NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1912. railroads, or what not, and will do it if given a chance and travel in a way that is bearable. It is not possible to find immigrants from anywhere, whether they be Negroes or foreign born, who will make as congenial laborers as the men to be found in Tennessee, and it is not necessary for the superintendents of public works to go around with pistols in their belts or clubs in their hands to get Tennessee Negroes to work. It is very likely, however, that the majority of Tennessee Negroes will refuse to work under such conditions, but if given fair treatment and superintended by men who believe they can control their laborers without guarding them with guns and pistols as they would convicts, there will be no difficulty in securing as many laborers as are needed to do all the work to be done. There will not be any room for complaint as to candidates for governor in the approaching democratic primary. They are announcing at the rate of about one a day; by election time the army will be sufficient to charge every voting place. The irrepressable Teddy is reporter to have admitted to a friend in Ohio that his hat was in the ring. What the people want to know is, is he going to play? As soon as the ground thaws we will have some turnip greens and hog jowl. In the meantime, we must content ourselves with army rations. Cedar street is becoming a rival to Church as a shopping district. The goods are there, both wet and dry. DR. W. A. LEWIS RETURNS FROM BALTIMORE. Dr. W. A. Lewis, Secretary of the Connectional Preachers' Aid Department of the African Methodist Church, has just returned from Baltimore, where he went to attend the Bishops' Council. Dr. Lewis, when seen by a Globe representative, was asked his views as to what legislation would be adopted at the next General Conference. It was gleaned from his conversation that much legislation for the better interest of the Church would be adopted at the coming meeting. He was firm in his belief that some steps would be taken for the benefit of the aged preachers and widows of deceased ministers. Dr. Lewis is asking the General Conference to make a special appropriation for his department to be used for the aid of just such persons as mentioned above. He is asking for 6 per cent, of 46 per cent, of the Dollar Money Fund, which he says will give to his department between twelve and fifteen thousand dollars annually for the benefit of the needy preachers and widows. The A. M. E. Church is a great organization, and it is believed from what can be learned from many parts of the country that some steps will be taken in the direction as suggested by Dr. Lewis. At Norfolk, Va., the two Preachers' Aid Departments were blended; i.e. the department formerly conducted by Bishop Heard end the association organized by Dr. Lewis, were made into one and styled the Connectional Preachers' Aid Department. That move was considered a wise step, and it is believed that the coming session of the General Conference will take one step further. It is said that the present Financial Secretary shows in his reports that the church is able to set aside several thousand dollars annually, from the Dollar Money Fund, and it is on this information that sentiment is crystallizing in favor of the suggestion. Dr. Lewis was in high hopes of his project carrying, and feels confident that he will be returned as Secretary of the department.

Dr. Bryant, of the Sunday-School Union at Nashville, has succeeded in impressing the entire church, with the importance of centralizing its printing industry at Nashville. This is as it should be, and will constitute a master stroke of statesmanship, such as the church has not experienced in half a century. The best part of it is that the church has not been asked to ratify a theory but to enact into 'aw a demonstrated fact. The way Dr. Bryant has conducted the printing business at the Union during the last four years and the unquestioned success he has attained constitute a solid and unassustable argument why he should be given all the printing of the church. When this is done there is little doubt that the country will have the clearest demonstration of a successful church printing establishment ever brought to public notice. The volume of sentiment favorable to this plan grows in magnitude and clearness and will doubtless make Dr. Bryant the indisputed hero of the next general conference.—The Durham Reformer.

The Valentine Entertainment given last Wednesday evening at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Douglass, on Jackson Street, by the Galeda Class of Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School was a most flattering success. The parlor and reception rooms were artistically decorated with Valentine reminiscences and red hearts. A very novel and unique feature of the decorations, which were all the original ideas of the entertainment committee being a porticte between the hall and parlor made of red satin ribbons, on which the portraits of the members of the class were seen, and in the center was suspended a small red heart-shaped portrait of the teacher of the class. Between the front and back parlorls suspended with a red satin bow was a huge heart, exhibiting cuts of the class, so arranged as to spell the name "Galeda Class." The dining-room was exceptionally beautiful, hearts f various sizes being suspended from the four corners of the ceiling, crossing at the chandelier just over the dining table, its central ornament being a round mirror representing a lake entwined with red and green festooning and on which were scattered small red hearts containing the faces of the officers of the class. Here and there on the table stood Valentine Cupids and silver candelabras. A delicious Valentine menu was served throughout the evening by waiters who were attired in pretty heart shaped Valentine aprons of red and white, thereby carrying out to the fullest extent the Valentine idea.

Franklin, Tenn., Feb. 19th.—Racial development and business uplift, were the principal topies of discussion at @ mammoth mass-meeting held at the First Baptist Church of this city, last Friday night. Representative citi- zens from every part of Williams County, residing in Franklin, were here to give impetus and encourage ment to what, promises to be a new epoch in the history of Franklin, ‘Three other affairs, one being a meeting ef the Court of Calanthe and the other a social entertainment, did not prevent a full house being pres- ent to take part in this. important meeting. At 8 ‘o'clock, a grocery merchant called the meeting to order and stated in very choice language the object of the occasion. The pastor of the church offered prayer and the meet- ing began in earnest. Prominent professional and business men of the city were present to lend their en- dorsement to the occasion. Promi- nent among those who yolced the sentiment of the occasion by their presence were Drs, Redman and Me- Coy, Messrs, Ewing and Wilson, Un- dertaker and Merchant, respectively. Mr, Patton introduced D. A. Hart, Editor of the Nashville Globe, who gave a brilliant address suitable for the occasion. Following him, Rev. H. A. Boyd, Assistant Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, spoke briefly. At the conclusion of ihe meeting it was plainly evidenced ‘hat much good had been done and that a general revolution of the con- ditions in Franklin would be the re- ‘sult.

Miss Dawson was very painfully hurt about the head and face also, while Mr. Dobbins was dangerously, {f not fatally, hurt; the physicians entertain very ‘little hope for his recovery. Mr. Willams es- caped unhurt, with the exception of a few minor bruises, Tt seems that the party, while out driving on the ‘Mooresville road, attempted to cross 4 bridge about three miles from the city, and in the effort lost, trace of the road, it being very dark, and as a result plunged into the creek from the» bridge, completely demolishing the car with the abovementioned re- sults, ae SMART SET” AT THE MAJESTIC. ‘There is nothing eo human as laughter, and in the present produc- tion of “The Smart Set” in “The Mayor of New ‘Town” there are no less than one hundred and fifty min- tent each one a lapgh, a.cons or 8 comedy minute, and which even a judge and jury of grouches would find guilty of inciting a riot of laughter, Specializing such fun pro- ducers as Sa'em Tutt Whitney, whom able crities pronounce the peer of all Negro comedians, and J.

If you are going to hatch chicks with Incubators this season for the first time, be sure that you under- stand the work before you begin, un- less you wish to get some very cost- ly_experience. Directions are always sent out with the machines, but a little judg- ment should be used along with the directions. For instance, if the tem- perature of the egg-chamber rises a few degrees too high don’t get excited and begin rolling the eggs around in an attempt to cool them. ‘An egg should not be moved about when overheated. Read directions very carefully on handling an over- heated tray of eggs and then don’t let it happen. It you want the chicks to be nor- mal, keep the temperature normal. It the temperature 1s kept too low, the eggs will not hatch well, and if too high the chicks will be abnor- mally developed, Don't try to op- erate an incubator in a room where doors are being opened and closed frequently. In stich a place the temperature in the egg-chamber can- not be kept even. A dry, well ventilated cellar ts the very’ best place for an incubator, Decause there are no drafts and the temperature around the machine never gets too high or too low at any season of the year. If there is no cellar, an unoccupied room ins dwelling is the next best place. In such a place it is sometimes neces sary to provide some means of warm. ing the air cutside the machine. Have a specified time each day fo turning the eggs. Don't try to dc several kinds of work at once, Fil the lamps, clean the burners an¢ trim the wicks every day at the same hour, Remember when trim ming the wicks that the work is important, since the heat is produc ed by the lamp. If a strong hea fs needed to keep the temperatur right, cut. the wick square across Jn mild weather when less heat i required, trim the wick so that th corners will be rounded. This wil give a pointed flame and consequent ly less heat. Regulate the heat i the egge-chamber so far as possibl ‘by turning the flame up or down a the case may require. Don't tamper with the regulator If the machine is placed in a goo¢ dry cellar it will need less attentio: than if placed in a building wher the temperature is constantly chant ing. Use only the best grade ¢ kerosine and you will not be troub ed with soot in the fiuepipe unles the flame in the lamp is turned to high. If soot accumulates in th pipes, clean it out. A thick coa ing of soot les8ens the heat. handy device for dislodging the 80 js made by tying a bunch of feat! ers on the end of a stout switel Always do the .work when the Jam is not in position, beginning at th end farthest from’ the lamp, pushir the soot out into a dust pan. Don't let the chicks stay in the incubator until they are nearly smothered. No matter what the directions say, chicks need air. The directions with a certain kind of incubator read something like this: “When the chicks begin to pip the shells close the ventilators and let remain closed until the hatch is cleaned up.” Now in case the eggs were not properly tested, what will become of the chicks that hatch if they ate left. in the incubator without air walting for a lot ot worthless eggs to hatch? A brood of little chicks panting and almost gasping for air is a pitiful sight, to say the least. Some varleties of eggs hatch more evenly than others, and it some times requires twenty-four hours for all the hatehable eggs to hatch. Dur- ing this time the inner door should be opened at least twice and the strong, lively chicks taken out and placed’ in a hrooder properly heated. Don't open the door any oftener than is necessary nor leave it open any longer than is required to remove the chicks, Here is where outside heat is a decided advantage. If there is no chill in the air the chicks will not be injured At any rate they have a fighting chance. pongo |FAILURES OF. POULTRYMEN. There are, no doubt, as many fail- ures in the poultry business and 1 might say more, than in any other line of business. Poultry raising is a business and must be run on busi- ness principles to make a success. Ninety-nine out of a hundred fail- lures can be traced to the man be- hind the business. ‘There are 80 many little things to be looked af- ter and many little things are the most apt to be neglected. I want to give a few suggestions that may be a benefit to beginners. My advice backed by experience is to start just once and start right. Decide on the breed and variety, then send to some reliable breeder. Do not watch tho grocery where he sells the surplus and try to get them at a market egg price. Pay |for what you get and see that you get what you pay for. It makes no difference what branch of the business you expect to follow—the Jutility or fancy. T may say here |that one should follow doth; they |go together. Paying attention to |the fancy side will insure better ‘|care and care Is half the battle. Tt -|makes it interesting and the persor ;|who is not Inspired by a beautiful | lock ot purebred chickens will no {make a success of any branch o! | the business. .| Send to some breeder for eggs o t| stock. In ease you buy stock the .| first. thing to do is to band your fe Nmates with leg bands. Buy 01 ;|make a trap nest and trap the hen 2|Mark each eee to correspond with z|the number on leg band. Set eacl hen’s eggs separate if under hens NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1912. If an incubator is used make or buy a pedigree tray to keep them sepa- rate, Get a poultry punch and mark th» chicks by punching the web be- twoen the toes, Fourteon separate combinations can be made. In this way know where your good chicks came from and how to get more next season and when selling eggs you know just what kind of stock your customer will have, provided he cares for them in the right way. It is also the only way to build up a laying strain. It tello you the every day layers, some hens will lay ‘every day, some every other day and some still less. One should never use eggs for breeding from any but everyday layers, no matter how superior they may be in markings and other points, 1 feel that by this method I have ac- complished what I could not have done in any other way. If you follow these methods of raising pedigreed stock you will find it valuable to yourself and to any one buying eggs or stock of you and you will find you will have no trouble in disposing of surplus stock at a good price, if you ‘let the peo- ple know what you have. You must advertise to do this. I have made it a rule to expend one-fifth of my profits each year in advertis ing, and I assure you it is money well spent. ‘There are so many breeds and varieties nowadays that any one can be suited. ‘The breed to Kees should be determined by the branch you intend to follow. ‘The Ameri can and English classes lead as gen eral purpose fowls, but I will no try to decide on the breed, they ar all _good—none best. I would nat vrally admire any one's good judg ment it they choose the Silvers. Bu that is a matter of taste. FLORIDA ACADEMY STUDENTS TAKE A TRAMP. ‘Special to the Globe. Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 14—On Mon- day, February 12th, the, students of the’ West Florida Baptist Academy went on a tramping tour for the pur pose of learning more about the Army and Navy of this country, The day was clear and the sun was kind with ‘its rays. ‘The Navy Yard was the first place visited and many things of intense “interest were seen.
