NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. NEGROES BUY IN A HURRY Vol. VII. AUCTION AT VENDOME A SUCCESS Good Property Goes At Low Prices Bidding was Lively from the Jump—Mr. B. J. Carr the Biggest Purchaser — Others Get Large Tracts—Not a Foot of Ground Left Unsold. Out near the State Normal School, which is soon to open its doors and which has an imposing location, quite a deal of property has changed hands. The sale of the property was held at the Vendome Theatre last Saturday night and was the biggest sale of land that has ever been pulled off in two nights. The Negroes of Nashville took part in this sale on Saturday night and it is said that they purchased $50,000 worth of the property; one gentleman buying as much as 20 acres. It is understood that the northern part of the city where the school is located will be one of the most popular res.ident sections. Most of the property sold faces the Centennial Boulevard, just across from the Normal School. The Savings Bank and Realty Company conducted this sale and in a statement made to the Globe reporter stated that the stockholders of the Company would realize 80 per cent on the dollar. He declared that this was one of the biggest sales they had ever conducted notwithstanding the fact that they had sold $40,000 worth of property to the Negroes in that section of the city known as Texas. This sale was made several years ago. Among those who purchased Saturday night were: Preston Taylor, R. H. Boyd, J. Frank Battle, Ben Carr, R. F. Boyd, and many others. It is said that land sold from 10 cents per foot to $500.00 per acre. On the next morning' some of the purchasers were offered from 100 to 200 per cent on their investment, but all steadily refused.

NEW MILLINERY STORE More than two hundred people took advantage of the opening of Mrs. Mabel Overton's store, located at 106 Woodland street. The opening was set for Monday, but was compelled to run over Tuesday on account of the overflow of visitors who came from every part of the city. It was one of the most unique openings ever seen in Nashville. Mrs. Overton presented all visitors with Easter Cards as souvenirs and favors. The announcement made in the Globe that the opening would be, gave the people of Nashville the information that enabled them to attend the greatest display of millinery goods ever seen in city by a member of the race. Mrs. Overton stated to a Globe reporter that the indications for a splendid trade were already very flattering. LITTLE JENNIE V. HAYNES DIES Special to the Globe Smyrna, Tenn., March 22—After a lingering illness (which was patiently borne) covering a period of about six weeks, little Jennie Viola Haynes, the little eight-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Caean Haynes, of Rocky Fork, died March 16th at 2:30 a.m. her last days were her most restless ones, during which time she only asked for rest, saying, "I can't rest here." Then from her restless state she was released by the impartial messenger, Death, and we feel safe in saying that she was wafted on the pinions of angels to that bright world above, where there is rest for the weary. She was an amiable, loving and patient child and was loved by all who knew her. Though we know it is our loss, yet we know it is heaven's eternal gain. We shall never see little Jennie again here; never hear her loving words and see her loving smiles. She will not come to us but we can go to her. Mr. B. H.

People Flock to See the Unusual Phenomena—Some Predict a Great Calamity—No One Able to Explain the Case — Officials Keeping Close Watch. Special to the Globe. Chattanooga, Tenn., March 23—The home of one Mr. Albert Merrill, a resident of this city, has been shrouded with mystery, and the scene of much excitement for more than a fortnight. The cause is a strange happening, of which every evidence points to as supernatural. It seems that through some mysterious way, in the dead hour of night, while the said Mr. Merrill and his wife are in bed, that the face of Mr. Merrill, as well as the pillow on which his head lay, is spattered with human blood, preceded by a strange coolness in the room, and a peculiar noise just before the spatter is made, which awakens the sleepers just in time to be conscious of the happening, but are left ignorant of what it is, where it came from or what it means. It is all over in an instant, says Mr. Merrill, and he and his wife run in the adjoining room in which a broth er-in-law sleeps, who sees the blood dropping from his face, but who on an examination finds no cut or bruise to justify the blood. On examining the pillow, they find it spattered with blood. The third time it happened was two weeks ago, when on examining the pillow, it was spattered as before with this addition: the print of a human hand in blood, and this inscription in large letters formed with dots of blood: "Repent! The wages of sin is death!" The family endeavored to keep the first two occurrences as a secret, but the third was surrounded with greater mystery, and was so astounding they decided to give publicity to the mystery, and after it was published in the Chattanooga News, the Merrill home was daily besieged with Chattanoogans, white and black of all classes; but they all go away like Nebuchadnezzar's soothsayers and astrologers, and none seem to be able to play the part of Daniel, and interpret the mystery. There are many who believe that it is a supernatural occurrence, and is a warning to that individual, that family or to Chattanooga. It has attracted widespread attention in the community. Some of the curious visitors to the home asserted that God does not work any more by signs, but there are others who say they forget that God is the same and that He changes not. One brother who was frightened out of his wits with the eloquence equal to a Douglass, "If God is unchangeable in one thing, he is unchangeable in all. He has many ways to warn and deliver his people; sometimes by earthquakes, violent storms, conflagrations and floods, which destroy the lives of many, to warn others. Just like the hand writing on the palace walls of the monarch king, was a warning of the destruction and fall of his kingdom, and an end to his voluptuous and tyranic reign and rule, strange occurrences of today which can be attributed to a supernatural incident can have a like significance." The people are much concerned about this strange incident, but cooler heads are not taking it so seriously. The authorities are keeping a close watch on the house to see what the outcome will be. MISS HADLEY DIES Miss Georgia Haley, who returned from Chicago about a month ago, and who has continued ill all the time, died Tuesday night. Miss Hadley before leaving home was in the employ of the National Baptist Publishing Board, being one of the proof-readers. The funeral was held at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon and a number of friends and acquaintances were present to pay their last tribute of respect to the young woman, who died in the prime of life. She leaves a mother, father, brother, sister and a host of friends to mourn her loss. VISITORS FROM NASHVILLE. Birmingham, Ala., March 24—Mr. and Mrs. W. T.

The carpenters have finished remodeling the front part of the building, which included four large plate glass and one large show window which adds much to the appearance of the store. The object of the store is to give to the Nashville people an up-to-date place that they will not be ashamed of, and to give them the service in every particular that any first-class store offers. To give the class a store that will show the same courtesy to every man, woman or child that may come there. The young men who will conduct this enterprise are Dr. V. Bouthe, Ph.

GOLDEN JUBILEE OF A GREAT WORK OF President Johnson Reviews History of Society—Thousands Have Been Helped Through its Efforts—Many Prominent Speakers on Platform—Timely Remarks. The golden jubilee of the beginning of work of the American Baptist Home Mission Society in the South was celebrated last Sunday afternoon at Roger Williams University. In opening the meeting President Johnson stated the purpose of the celebration, giving a historical statement of the beginning of missionary work by the American Baptist Home Mission Society. He said under instructions of the boards, Rev. Howard Osgood visited Fortress Monroe and vicinity and reported the result of his investigations February 27, 1862. This report was referred to the committee on missions and at the annual meeting in Providence May 29, 1862, a committee of five was appointed. The committee represented a report which was unanimously adopted, as follows: "Resolved, That we recommend the society to take immediate steps to supply with Christian instruction, by means of missionaries and teachers, the emancipated slaves, whether in the District of Columbia or in other places held by our forces, and also to inaugurate a system of operations for carrying the gospel alike to free and bond throughout the whole Southern section of our country, so fast and so far as the progress of our arms and the restoration of order and law shall open the way." June 25, 1862, the board voted "that immediate measures be adopted for the occupation by our missionaries of such Southern fields as in the providence of God may be opened to our operations." On the same day Rev. Isaac W. Brinkenoff and Rev. Jonathan W. Horton were commissioned to labor among Negroes on the island of St Helena, S. C., and September 16 Dr. Solomqn Peck, for many years Corresponding Secretary of the Missionary Union, volunteered his services and was commissioned to Bufort, S. C. From the first the work prospered and the church in Bufort in 1867 reported 4,000 members, divided into four parishes, each having a preacher who co-operated with a pastor Fresh Impulse Given. Fresh impulse was given to the work by President Lincoln's announcement September 22, 1862, that he would recommend to Congress the passage of a bill for emancipation in all portions of the country. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued January 1, 1863. After emancipation the work took on new life and grew rapidly. New Raphy, Miss Linella Long sang "The Palms" by Faure. Prof. O. A. Jackson read a paper on the life and character of Dr. George Sale, who he said, was to be revered in the highest degree for his faithfulness and devotion to the cause of education. His name is a household word among white and colored people throughout the South. His sixteen years' work at the Atlanta Baptist Seminary produced a most remarkable influence upon the Society of Atlanta. Scarcity of Educated Men. Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor the Sylvan Street Baptist Church, deplored the scarcity of educated ministers and expressed deep regret at the death of Dr. George Sale, who was working so stronically to correct this evil condition when he passed into the other world. Prof: J. D. Crenshaw spoke of the necessity of uniting the industrial with the spiritual educational life and illustrated his remarks by references to the life and work of the Lord Jesus. Miss Grace Eaton gave a very interesting talk on the life and character of Dr. Phillips, a former president of Roger Williams. Dr. C. L. White sent a telegram of regret. The choir sang, "A Mighty Fortress is Our Lord," which was Dr. Sale's favorite hymn, which closed the exercises of a great day in the history of this noted educational institution. President Johnson stated that the Negro population of the South at the time of emancipation was nearly 5,000,000, but it is now over 10,000,000, or an increase of nearly 100 per cent. He said the board spent on Southern Negro education last year $132,000 and in the past fifty years $6,000,000, which had been transmuted into character. The work has taken a wide scope, embracing every state. He said the Southern white Baptists also contribute largely to the relig- TENNESSEE'S LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL No. 13 MAYOR HOWSE WILL SPEAK No.13 BOARD OF TRADE TO HEAR HIM TONIGHT. New Library, Parks, Gist of Address Will Tell What Plans Have Been Formulated—Aid of People Needed—Matter of Location of Much Import—Negro Bank Seems Tonight, at the Board of Trade meeting Hon. Hilary E. Howse will deliver an address and will take occasion to tell the people something about the proposed library and city park for Negroes. It is remembered that in the last city campaign the Mayor often referred to the fact that he favored a library and park and playground for the colored people of this city. It will also be remembered that in his annual message to the Council he recommended that the Park Commission be requested to consider the establishment of a library. Since that time the Mayor has been working incessantly to bring these things to pass, and with the dawn of Spring comes the good news that the prospects are getting better and brighter every day. At the Board of Trade meeting tonight the Mayor will go into detail as to the progress made. He will submit to the Council at the next meeting in regard to both institutions. It has recently leaked out that a plot of ground in the northwestern part of the city is being favorably considered for this park, and the site referred to is an ideal one for this purpose. It has on it a handsome brick building and a mineral well that affords an abundance of pure water, and as wholesome as has been dound anywhere in the state. The well has been tested several times, and the purity of the water has always received the highest commendation. This plot of between thirty-five and forty acres is well shaded with many oaks, and if the project carries the Negroes of Nashville have one of the finest parks in the South. The city will spend between twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars on purchasing and fitting up this park. It will be put in first-class condition and will be kept so by the city. The library building also seems to be a very likely proposition. No opposition has sprung up as is known to this institution, and there seems to be a unanimous opinion in the Council and among all the people of Nashville that the enterprising, thorough-going and industrious Negroes of Nashville are entitled to a first-class library that they may keep up with the times and that Nashville may be in line with other cities of the South. Miss Johnson, who recently resigned as Librarian of the Carnegie Library, recommended that one for colored people be established. She has on more than one occasion reiterated this recommendation. Miss Johnson is indeed in a position to know better the worth or a library than anyone in this city, having been connected with the Carnegie Library for several years; and her record there in bringing this institution up to the high standard which it now attains is such as to excite the highest admiration of all Nashville. It is known that Mayor Howse is soliciting the advice of the leading colored citizens of Nashville as to the location of this building and seems that a central location is the general opinion. The Mayor desires to please the colored people in the manner of locating the building, and that being the fact, it is also being true that a central location is desired. It seems that it will be located at some central point, easy of access from all parts of the city. When established a liberal appropriation will be made for the maintenance of the library, and it goes without saying that the Negro citizens will cooperate in making this building the equal of any in the South that is maintained for the colored population. When this library and park are established Nashville can boast of being the leading city in the South in the point of fairness to all of her citizens. QUARTERLY CONFERENCE AT BETHEL A. M. F. CHURCH. THELHEL A. M. E. CHURCH. The quarterly conference of Bethel A. M. E. Church was quite a success. A record breaking collection to the amount of $110.71 was raised.

Saturday it was a constant downpour of rain all day, and darkness seemed to hover over the entire section as though night was near. Sunday we had rain, snow and sleet, from one to the other all day. Now it seems that winter has about passed over and everybody seems to have taken on new courage to see the sunlight once more.

Rev. Green Thompson performed the marriage rites. The bride was beautifully gowned in cream serge, trimmed in fringe and satin, and carried a bunch of carnations.

Panama and Costa Rica ```markdown ``` THE FIRST THREE DAYS ON THE ZONE; WHAT WE SAW AND HEARD. As Rev. Thorbourne and ourself sat side by side in the coach, viewing all of the work of the Canal, watching the steam shovels, the dirt train, the rock crushers, the rock drilling, blasting and breaking of rock, mixing of concrete, steam hoisters handling concrete, putting it in its place, steam rollers leveling down the dirt after it is deposited from the dirt train, cutting down the highlands, filling up the lowlands, changing the course of the great Chagres River and the building up of the Gatun Dam, were all wonderful sights and caused us to forget the distance or time, and before we knew it we had run into the Panama City depot and were unloaded in the passenger shed. On leaving the gates of the shed, Rev. Thorbourne held some kind of a conversation with a man who was neither white nor black, and directly we were seated in a Victoria carriage, or what we call in the States a two-seated phaeton, or surrey. The only difference was that the man seated on the seat should have put the little horse on the seat and hitched himself to the shafts, but the little fellow seemed equal to the conditions. He threw himself against the harness and the buggy moved off. We supposed from the chat and chatter between Rev. Thorbourne and the man in the seat that they were several miles away, as they discussed a line to Panama and Ancon, but we found that just one block from the depot, we crossed a viaduct and after crossing the viaduct or bridge, one more block and we drove up, facing a beautiful little six-room cottage, and behold, another familiar face "hollering," and then it was that we were greeted by Bessie, our own girl, who had lived in our home for so many years. We said to Rev. Thorbourne that we were putting on too much lug, that we might have walked that distance, and he began to tell us about the heat, and that he was so afraid we could not endure the extreme heat. Right here we read him a lecture that we did not come to Panama for luxury, but to see the work, and that we were capable of climbing any hill, enduring any heat he could, and that we would eat anything he and his wife ate, we only drew the line at the big guana or native lizard. After talking with Bessie (Mrs. Thorbourne), the next thing in order was a good shower bath. This was something new to us, but when we went into the bathroom, they told us to just turn a little button and the hydrant would do the rest. We turned the button and posssibly turned it too far, for it seemed we were in a thunder storm. After "hollinger" police, murder, fire and everything else, Rev. Thorbourne rushed in and gave the water its usual, moderate flow, such as is turned on strangers and ignoramuses who never had a shower bath before, and in a little we learned to like it and they had to tell us we had stayed in there long enough. From this we were carried through the rest of the house, with all of its departments, then into the church and all around the place, until Bessie forced us to give up further search and eat a Panama dinner. Well, we are not going to attempt to describe the menu. We remember that we had green cocoanut, cocoanut milk, rice and peas cooked together, yamps, bananas and other vegetables, the names of which we do not remember. We were then advised that, according to Panamain styles and customs, after dinner and a smoke of a cigar, the next thing in order would be a short siesta. To this we raised no objection and the hammock was made ready and in less than ten minutes by the watch we were in dreamland, and those who heard us snoring soon came to the conclusion that we had already beaten the regular Panamain at his own game and could take a siesta, or nap, any time after dinner. Arising, taking a face bath at four o'clock, we were prepared to receive some of the Panama ladies, as the men had not yet returned from their work. Mrs. Thorbourne introduced us to ladies until the vocabulary of names had been exhausted and we chatted on America, the Baptist work, the Negro schools, the general progress of the Negroes in America and the time went rather pleasantly. We found that most any of the ladies could preside at the organ, and the music was indeed sweet. These ladies were refined well cultured and used first-class English. We then received notice that the young people were having an evening meeting at the church, which would take place at seven o'clock. Rev. and Mrs. Thorbourne notified us that neither they nor the people knew of our coming, but that they would be willing to suspend the present program for the people to hear us. We informed them that we were not there to speak at this service, or allow ourselves to be introduced. We attended the meeting and enjoyed the music, the essays, the speeches, the songs, the prayers, and for the first time our heart was made sad. We saw at a glance that the Baptist church was not large enough to accommodate the congregations in week meetings, for by eight o'clock there was not a vacant seat to be found. Every seat had been taken and a number of persons had to stand. We here saw the great mistake of our churches in the States. While Rev. Thorbourne has an intelligent choir to lead the NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDY, MARCH 29, 1912. BY DR. R. H. BOYD, D. D., LL. D. CHAPTER II. music, there is a song book in each pew, and every two persons hold a song book and all sing. We looked up several times to see whether the roof was being lifted from the house or not, for the voices of these young people stirred our very soul. When the benediction was said a number of them pressed forward and demanded an introduction, each of them shaking hands with us and pointing to our picture that was framed and hanging in the rostrum. Many of them said: "I passed the Reverend's home this afternoon and saw you on the gallery and knew you by your picture." Many of them complained and said: "The Reverend should have told us you were coming, that we might have decorated our church." Another said: "We have some American flags, some British flags, and I cannot see why the sexton did not hang them up. When great men come from England or the British colonies, we decorate with British flags; when great men come from the States we should decorate-with the Stars and Stripes, but we think that all the flags should be put out now, the Panama flag, the flag of Great Britain and the Stars and Stripes." We informed them that we were there on a mission and not for display, and asked them, or requested them, that they would not noise our visit abroad until we should have seen more of the work. This created a suspicion and there was a constant whisper and speculation to know what we were there for. Early next morning a committee was formed which not only put us to wonder but had Rev. Thorbourne and his wife guessing, for they said these men should be at work. When they called and demanded an interview with us, we did not know whether it was an American mob, or a Panama reverie, or what it could be. But the speaker soon broke the news to us. He said that it was known that we were secretary of the Board and that we were not introduced to the meeting and would not make any explanation; that but a short time since it was noised abroad that the work was to be turned over to the Southern Baptists, or some other Board, and the present preacher, Rev. Thorbourne, was to be moved. After smiling, we said to the brethren that they should give themselves no uneasiness. We then asked them if they had read English history, and told them that Cromwell said: "Great bodies move slowly." We told them that the National Baptist Convention was a great body and that it moved slowly, that if there were any likelihood of Rev. Thorbourne being moved in the near future, the fact had not been made known to us, and that before we left the Zone we would make a clear, clean statement of our visit, but informed them that before making any public speech, we must see several of the officials, both the state and religious officials. They seemed to be intelligent men and accepted our partial explanation and asked us when we would speak for them. We informed them that we would speak to the young people at three o'clock Sunday, to the church at eight p. m. Sunday, and to the men Monday night, and would hold a church meeting Wednesday night. This gave entire satisfaction, and the gentlemen left us happy, for we did not want to come in contact with a mob. They assured us that they meant no harm, but that their church was planted there, and they were determined to protect it at any cost. The fiesta season of the Panamains was on hand, and the people began to parade the streets. We could hear in every direction fifes, flutes, bagpipes, tin horns, bugles, brass bands, drums, guitars, mandolins, violins, accordions and every other kind of a musical instrument that has ever been manufactured by Italians, French, Germans, English, Chinese, Japanese and every other nation, and last, but by no means iest, we saw the old-time bone knockers and the clivies, and pin or steel triangles. Getting up several times through the night to see whether the Comanche Indians had stormed the town or not, we were again assured by Rev. and Mrs. Thorbourne that this was the fiesta season, that the people were jolly and good-natured, but there was no harm. At five o'clock we were up. Mrs. Thorbourne had our coffee and cocoa ready and at six o'clock we were aboard the train for Empire. We have already said we had a complimentary ticket from the Panama railroad and it cost us nothing to travel. Arriving in Empire, we went to the First National Baptist Church of Empire. Here we were again surprised. We found a well-built chapel, thirty-five feet wide by fifty-five feet long, being the main auditorium. We found in the rear of this building three beautiful dwelling rooms, with a lavatory attached. These rooms were unfurnished and were built to accommodate a pastor and his family. On examining the inside, we found a neat No. 18 pulpit which had been manufactured by the National Baptist Church Supply Company, of Nashville, Tenn., and shipped to Panama. We found that the church bell that had been donated was on the ground ready to be hung in the tower, and the church was well lighted with electricity and comfortably seated, though the seats had no backs. We began to think that, after all, if we were not secretary, we would like to be pastor of the First National Baptist Church, of Empire, Canal Zone, Panama. The men had gone to work, but the women turned out to ask us our business. Being introduced by Rev. Thorbourne, they asked what was the object of our visit, were we going to send them a pastor? or if we were going to move Rev. Mr. Thorbourne from the Zone and put a white man in charge? To all of these questions we begged them to excuse us, and promised to meet the church on Tuesday night, at which time we hoped to be able to answer all questions and give a reasonable account of our stewardship. We then informed them that we desired to see a gentleman, a Rev. Mr. J. Wise, superintendent of the Southern Baptist work. They informed us that Mr. Wise would hardly have breakfast etarlier than nine o'clock and insisted that Rev. Thorbourne and ourselves should go to an eating house for lunch with them. Having had a cup of coffee, traveled twenty-five miles, walked over the hills of Empire, whose names seemed to be Legion, for they are many, we proceeded to climb another hill on to the eating house. After a Panamain breakfast, a gentleman volunteered to show us the home of Mr. Wise, hence it was down another hill and up still another hill that brought us to a beautiful cottage. Meeting some little white-headed children, which told us they were full Americans, we volunteered to ask if Mr. Wise were in. These children volunteered to lead the way, and "hollered" out: "Papa, papa, here are some black men asking for you." The screen door was opened and instead of an old man, as we had expected to meet, we met a gentlemanly, middle-aged, or young man. With his hand extended and a broad smile, he said, "I presume this is Dr. Boyd." We said, "Yes, sir, and we presume you are Dr. Wise." By this time Rev. Thorbourne began his little ceremony and gave us an introduction. We had climbed hills A. B. HON W. H. CARRINGTON, Attorney-at-Law. Cristoval, Canal Zone, Panama until the only dry place about us was on the inside. We wiped the water from the outside, and asked Dr. Wise if he, as a Baptist, used water. He answered in the affirmative and said he used water for both baptizing and drinking. Following this, he ordered water for the crowd. We insisted that we should hold our conference on the gallery. To this Dr. Wise laughed with a significant laugh, which meant more than the usual laugh. He said, "Not a bit of it. We will hold our conference in the sitting room." Taking our cap, he informed us it was very much in style on the Isthmus for gentlemen to remove their coats in the winter, especially in January and February, when the mercury stood from ninety to one hundred degrees above zero. We could not raise a serious objection to this, and so off went our coat. One hour and fifty minutes were spent in Dr. Wise's cozy sitting room. We went over matters very thoroughly concerning the work. We informed him that he was the first man, white or colored, we had ventured to interview. He asked us if we had any communications from Dr. Gray. We told him we had none. We showed him a telegram from the assistant secretary, received at New Orleans, saying that he had an important letter from Mr. M. M. Welch, office secretary of the Home Mission Board in Atlanta, Ga., but that we knew nothing of its contents. He then informed us that he could possibly show us a copy of this letter, for which we thanked him very kindly, and we read the letter over together, or the copy of the letter purported to have been written to our Board. We went over matters care- 8 ```markdown ``` fully, and asked Mr. Wise the condition of the work on the Zone. He informed us that the Southern Baptists had a white Baptist church in Empire, with some twenty-eight or thirty members. He further informed us that the white people did not attend church very readily on the Zone, He informed us that they had two white preachers, Rev. William M. Lovridge, and Rev. S. Witt, who held services at Culebra, Hartobispo, Tripolis Matachin, Colon and Gatums. These services were carried on, he said, by them and their colored helpers, or catechisers, or as some would call them, lay-preachers. We then put the question to him positively and frankly. We asked him if he would favor the work being carried on in the Zone as it was in the states, that is, that the colored Board would have charge of all the colored work and the white Board have charge of all the white work. He answered unhesitatingly, "No, by no means, for many reasons: "First, that all of the regular pastors for Negro churches were white men and these white men would not care to work under a Negro Board; "Second, that the Jamaicans and Barbadian Negroes were unlike the Negroes of the States and would not have full confidence in colored or Negro preachers; "Third, that the Negroes themselves did not have confidence enough in each other to allow the Negroes to manage Negro affairs, that the Negroes were not honest, they could not handle money honestly." He then informed us that Mr. Lovridge was pastor, secretary and treasurer of his churches, that he could not allow his members to handle the collections, that he had tried this and that other members complained that the Negro officers would not handle the money honestly and, therefore, advised that Mr. Lovridge handle the money and money matters. He then began to inform us that our Board was in debt to the commission authorities and that because of the unreliability of Negroes it was essentially necessary that this indebtedness of the National Board be paid. We asked him how he knew we were in debt. He said he had visited the government office and had made special inquiries. We asked him if the Canal Commission has sent for him. He said they had not. We then asked him why he should go and ask about our debts, did he intend to pay them? He said no, but that he understood that the Southern Baptists were controlling the Negro work in the States and hence were a kind of guardian to look over and help them to keep their work straight. We fully explained his mistake and informed him that he had done our Board some injustice in this matter. He said that he knew we were partial to Mr. Thorbourne because Mr. Thorbourne was our son-in-law, and married, our daughter. We asked him where he got his information. He said it had been told to him, but he could not give his exact authority. We then informed him that neither Rev. Thorbourne nor his wife were in any way related to us; that Rev. Thorbourne was the representative of our Board on the Isthmus. As soon as we had entered into a conversation with Mr. Wise, Rev. Thorbourne excused himself and went to look after some of his members. When we had finished, Mr. Wise accompanied us as far as the depot, where we met Rev. Thorbourne. When we had bidden good-bye to Mr. Wise we next called upon Rev. Nellis, chapplain for the Canal Zone. On approaching Rev. Mr. Nellis, we told him we had been informed that he was a Baptist preacher. He said that he was both a Baptist and a preacher, but was not in the capacity of a Baptist preacher; that he was in the service at the Canal Zone's chapel at Empire and that this was a Union Chapel, all denominations worship there. We next put the question to him to know the condition of the colored work. He said that the white Baptists had practically no work, they had one small congregation, and an enrollment of possibly thirty or thirty-five members, and these did not attend church regularly. We asked him concerning the Sunday-school work. He informed us that the International Association had a secretary on the Zone and and that they had an International Convention, but did not and could not allow any Negroes to attend, neither could they allow any Negroes to become members of the Ministers' Conference. We asked him the reasons. He gave them, and since he did not care to be quoted, we shall not here give his reasons, but it is enough to say that he said Negro preachers could not be members of the Ministers' Conference, or Negro Sunday-school workers attend any of the International Sunday-School Conventions. We then asked him as a Baptist, as an American citizen and as a graduate of an American theological Baptist school, acquainted with the conditions in the States, whether or not he thought it wise to turn over the work of the National Baptist Home Mission Board into the hands of the Southern Board. He answered in the negative, that he did not think it wise, gave some reasons, but again refused to be quoted, hence we cannot give the reasons.

At each meeting a goodly number of the leading citi- zens are becoming members and tak- ing an active part in the organiza- tion. ‘This 1s an encouraging sign, and indicates that Nashville Negroes have a desire to keep abreast of the times and to do their part in making Nashville an ideal city. It shows further that they realize that a peo- ple to do effective work in a com- munity must have some kind of an ‘understanding; that there must be an’ organization of some cuaracter where the leaders can congregate and ex- change views, and thereby reach con- clusions to which all can subscribe. ‘There is a great work that this: Board of Trade can do in Nashville. Negro men are engaged in nearly every commercial pursuit conducted in this city. Most of them are on the small scale, it is true, but every Dusiness, be it much or little, needs gome encouragement. Since this is ‘true these Negroes who are putting forth efforts to accomplish something im a small way have long felt the need of an organization of men with whom they can meet and discuss thelr business affairs. There is an old saying that “everybody's business is nobody's business;” this is true, Dut it {s also true that no man can conduct a business successfully who lives entirely to himself or who at- tempts to do so absolutely in secret. Business men all have kindred beset- ments, and they all have their cloudy days. There comes a time when they desire tc meet with their fellow. men and exchange views. They real- ize that they can thereby oft times pick up ideas that will help them. ‘Through the medium of a Board of Trade our business men who are sometimes’ hampered in their pur- suits can, by relating their embar- Tassments to thelr fellow-men, get an insight into conditions that they could not otherwise. A point that will illustrate what we mean is ex emplified by the Builders’ Exchange in this city. There are a number of Negro contractors here; carpenters, painters, brick masons, plasterers, stone masons, ete. They are not members of the Builders’ Bxchange, and thereby are not, in a sense, en: titled to the courtesies to be received therefrom. They often find them: selves handicapped when they want to bid on a job, and it is charged that the Exchange sometimes makes the Negro contractor feel that he has Deen refused the privilege of look. ing at plans of buildings on which he desires to bid, The Negro Board of Trade will be in a position tc bring about a better understanding between the white and black contrac tors, We do not mean by this tha those Negro contractors who are ir responsible should have any courte sles shown them, or that they shoulc receive any consideration whatever from any sources, but there are somé Negro contractors who are trust worthy and who have as good repu tations as any in the city. We mear that these men should have a chane to do business, and that a way should be made for them to get an opportuni ty to bid on any job they desire to. What is true in the case of con tractors is also true in the case 7 men engaged in other lines, Nash ville bears the reputation of being s great city, constituted of broad-mind ed men, who want to*see every mar have a fair chance in the struggle of life, and it goes without saying that if the proper understanding can be had between the Negro Board o1 Trade and the Nashville Board of ‘Trade that a better feeling and a spirit of fairness will be created that will be helpful to all parties con: corned, ‘Tho Government lost {ts case against the Meat Packers.

Gaeneds. 5 Occasionally a flash of sunshine makes us feel that Spring hag really come; and the fact that we know it is springtime makes us believe again that springtime is here. There Is no season in the year that brings as much inspiration and de- velops as much promise in the minds of the people as Spring. With this spirit of buoyancy comes the habit ot forgetfulness. After being penned up for several months by the cold, biting winter winds, we walk out into the beautiful sunshine of spring, and as we view nature in its beauty we forget that the germs of winter are lurking in our paths. It is this for getfulness that causes so much sick: ness and disease among the people. | It should be remembered that springtime is the “clean-up” time. Every house, every yard, every alley and every place where there has been an accumulation of rubbish during the winter should receive atténtion ‘now, and it is the better part of wis dom that these matters be given at- tention at once, Before starting on 8 career of activity every one shoulk aret clean up the premises and also clean out and invigorate the system, ‘This has been a hard winter, and un less we are careful in and around our homes, spring, instead of bring- tog joy, wi bring sadness. OTe re: Ot eer ee ee ‘As the wheels of progress turn and events are brought to pass it becomes: evident to the casual observer that opportunities are opening up in Nash- ville constantly, wherein the Ne- groes of this city can prove their loyalty and appreciation of race en- deavor and enterprise. The question that is uppermost in the minds ot every young Negro man who decides to enter the business fied is: “wil! my own people support me?” The Globe always answers: “yes.” For when the people are referred to it is not meant that only the educated and welltodo are included, but every man and every woman in the ‘community comes under that head; and in the affairs of the world every man is expected to do his full duty. ‘More is required of some than others, ‘especially so is this true of Negroes. ‘Those who have had opportunities to acquire a little knowledge of the ‘world are expected to take a deeper interest in their fellow-men than can be expected of the man who has not taken advantage of the oppor- tunity to gain knowledge, or who has not had a chance to. It is commendable to say that the Negroes of Nashville are showing new signs of progressiveness every day. They are attempting to do something; it is regretable that so often the com- plaint {s heard that those people whom we style as our leaders and in telligent men and women are the list to support anyone who endeavors to do business. But the rank and ule are always loyal. They have been so in the past, they are 80 im the present, and nobody doubts but that they will be so in the future. Negro men who have succeeded in business will tell you that they can depend on the rank and file, but that when it comes to the intelligent class ‘they are skeptical. ‘This is hard to junderstand, but there are many wit- nesses thgt it is true, There seems to be a mania on the part of the edu- cated Negro men and women to doubt ono another. Every fellow who has jhad educational opportunities will ‘tell you that he is as good as any- ‘body else and really feels that he pee as much as the average edu- cated man, but after he sizes up his |brother—maybe his classmate who [finished cuilego with him—he sympa |thetically concludes that his class. |mate is not just exactly as good a doctor or as competent a mechanic as |the son of Mr. John Thompson, a cer- |tain old white gentleman whom he has known all of his days and whom his father knew. This is one of the great handicaps that Negroes must overcome, Many opportunities are presenting themselves to the Negroes of Nash- ville to make great strides in the march of progress, and the success that will be attained depends largely lupon the ability of our intelligent men and women's confidence in their fellowmen, When they can realize that it they had the grey matter in their {head to grasp the things that were taught them in school, and jto put that knowledge into ex- ecution, it is probable also that {some other member of that class had a like ability, When Nashville's intelligent Negroes reach that con- clusion, a better day will at once dawn upon this city and the many ‘opportunities that are now smoulder- |ing will blaze into a flaming reality.

Upon careful in- vestigation the Globe has been un- able to find any Negroes who have given the conference much thought or who have decided to attend the meetings. They refer to the little unpleasant incident that occurred in. the Auditorium a short while ago when the Nashville Choral Society Save a concert there, and the opinion seems to be general that it will be the best for Negroes to stay away from the Auditorium, conference or no conference, ‘The city school teachers are to be ‘commended for the work they did for the poor children who desired to see the art exhibition recently given here, in that they solicited ald for over twelve hundred.

The more the Virginia slaughter of an entire court is studied the more disgraceful and outrageous does it be- come. In fact, the disgrace is not Virginia's alone, but it belongs to the entire country. Professor James used to say that unless the horrid lynching orgies in the South were stopped it was not unthinkable that we might yet see a lynching on Bos- ton Common. On the heels of the Virginian massacre comes the brutal story of the bomb which, almost by a miracle, Judge Rosalsky of New York escaped. ‘This is carrying the murderous instinct northward with steady and deadly advance, It is impossible to see in this mat: ter anything but the wide national disposition to refuse orderly processes and to resist even to bloodshed what we do not happen to like. While it happened to a depressed race like the Negroes in the South we simply passed resolutions and said that it was too bad. But now it is white men that are brutally murdered, even without the formali- tes of “lynch law.” And the slayers, in type, in intellect and springs of conduct, are simply consistent tories, ‘They rétain their vested rights and the fundamental law; they safeguard their property rights by murdering revenue agents who come to raid their stills, If Americans are ever to learn the rudimentary lessons of obedience to Jaw, this is the time, ‘They have ob- ject’ lessons before them which leave no doubts as to the tendencies.— Boston Journal. A BID FROM NEGROES. The National Colored Democratic League, whose president is Bishop Alexander Walters, has addressed a letter to the Democratic leaders of the country, sounding their views as to the support of at least a portion of the colored vote of the country in return for a plank in the Democratic plat: form “giving hope to the colored race that the Democratic party is favor- ably inclined to them in their efforts to be useful citizens. ‘This means, of course, that it shall see to the enforcement of the four- teenth .and fifteenth amendments, which Republicans have allowed to be overruled and abridged by states with- out any effort at prevention or with- Watch this Space NEXT WEEK out allowing the question to come to a test in the United States Supreme ‘Court. The excuse is made that the ‘enfranchisement of the Negro was an error and that it is better to let the ‘matter regulate its¢f in this way, but this is a coward'y evasion. The con- stitution having granted certain rights ‘to a class of citizens. it becomes the ‘business of the government to see ‘that they enjoy those rights or at “east put to a legal test the measures by which they are superseded. z Whether a deal can be made with the Democrats remains to be seen, members of that party being the ones who have overruled the amendments in question. A good. many faverable ‘responses have been received, it is ‘said, and the bid must undoubtedly “have its attractions to a party in need ‘of votes. At all events, no one can blame the Negroes for making the attempt. A new generation of the race, educated and inte'ligent, is com- ing to the front, and it can not be ex- pected to remain quiescent under wrong as its ignorant predecessors have done. Agitation in Negro ranks is likely to be constant from this time on and Republicans may yet be forced ‘to do what should haye been done _voluntarily.—The Indianapolis Star. Page FUNERAL OF MRS. GEO.

East Nashville. During the past week the Chorus that is made up of representatives from the various Baptist Sunday schools of the city has been doing some hard work. On Friday night of last week at the Spruce Street Baptist Church more than 80 were present, where they practiced for the program that is to be rendered on Sunday, April 21st. On Monday night at the First Baptist Church there was the same amount of enthusiasm demonstrated. The director on Monday night not only instructed in the chorus work proper, but he touched on the technic of vocal and instrumental music. An interesting feature of the Chorus is that they plan to render only songs written, arranged and composed by members of the race. The Sunday-schools and churches throughout the city are taking an active interest. On Monday night, there were more than ten Sunday-schools represented in the Chorus, most of them being from schools not heretofore represented. The next recursal, the Union, will be held with the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Cedar street, on Monday evening. Rev. and Mrs. Bushell will both be in the city and continue their instructions. Passers-by who have heard the practising have been compelled to stop and listen as they did not know that such splendid music was prepared right here in Nashville. STEVENSON (ALA.) NOTES.

It would not be a courtesy to the teacher and her co-workers if special mention were not made of the decoration of the large and spacious school room which was most tastefully decorated with cedar and draperies of red poppies and green vine garlands of tissue paper caught up with green and red bells varying in size on either side of the largest one which hung in the center. A two and one-half foot high platform 12X24 was erected by Dixie Portland Cement Company. In the rear was a beautiful motto: "Onward Is Our Alm."

The eggs is of natural size of the white leghorn egg, though at the pointed end is what would be termed arms, about one and one-half inches long. Right where it joins the egg it forms a curve and again near the top end of the point. The contents of the egg do not seem to be natural, they seem to be more of a liquid form. Mrs. Adams does not state whether she had ever detected a defective egg in her stock prior to this or not. DR.

Townsend, of this city, who delivered a very brilliant and highly instructive address on "A Great Awakening." The speaker, treating on tae history of the church, referred to the eras of great awakening in that most permanent of all institutions, and recalling the fate of nations, exemplified the necessity of a great awakening in our social and political institutions. The last meeting of the Meharry Y. M. C. A. will be held Sunday, March 31st, and the address on this occasion will be delivered by Dr. C. V. Roman. Mrs. M. C. Reynolds, of Chicago, 111, the Field Secretary of the Home Mission Society, was the distinguished guest of the school last Tuesday and Wednesday. She addressed the school Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Many interesting and helpful remarks were given for the good of the people. Her wholesome advice to the students will make her visit long remembered. She is a woman of large experience and Roger Williams ever holds an open door to her. Miss Cecilia Holloway, the Field Secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association, visited the Y. W. C. A. last Thursday and Friday. The cabinet was called Thursday evening and was congratulated on their work. The association tendered a little social gathering in honor of the Grand Secretary, which was much enjoyed by all. On Friday morning she spoke to the student body. The Roger Williams boys are practicing hard at baseball every beautiful afternoon, and at this distance they look to be a hard proposition to solve. They are ready to take on all comers as such. Meharry Medical College, Walden University and the Freedmen's Aid Society are elated at the news that has reached these parts relative to the success that has attended Dr. Benjamin Wells Payne, of Monrovia, Liberia. Dr. Payne is a native of Africa, who, through the efforts of Miss Sharpe, an American missionary to the dark continent, and who was stationed at Liberia, was aided by Benjamin Wells Payne, of New York, to the acquisition of an education at the above-named institutions, graduating from Walden University in 1897 and from Meharry Medical College in 1901. Dr. Payne has been named after his benefactor. Since his return to Monrovia, Liberia, he has received much recognition. He was made coroner of the county, brigade surgeon in the militia, and professor of science in the College of West Africa, and now, at the opening of the new national administration, President D. E. Howard has advanced him to the chief educational post in the republic—appointing him as superintendent of public instruction. 311 and 313 2nd Ave., N., Near Square WE CAN FURNISH YOUR HOME COMPLETE ON EASY TERMS.
