Special Election to be Held Monday April 15—Voters Will Express Their Preference—All Objectionable Features Eliminated —Special Privileges Grant
The election that will be held in this city next Monday will be far-reaching in its affect if it carries. It will mean many hundreds of thousands of dollars to the working men of this city. Many a dinner pail that is now scantily filled will be brim-full for many months, and everybody will be benefited.
The provisions of this ordinance eliminate all of the many objections urged against the ordinance of the Nashville Gas and Fuel Company rejected at the November election, 1910. Every point of objection raised against the rejected ordinance has been met and overcome in the ordinance now submitted to the people of Nashville. Attention is called to the following specific points of difference between the ordinance asked by the Nashville Gas and Heating Company and that of the Nashville Gas and Fuel Company, which was rejected in November, 1910:
1. The rejected ordinance asked for a grant of fifty years, with the right to charge a fixed price for gas during that entire period, with no right to the city to regulate or reduce the price so charged.
This ordinance asks for a grant for forty years, with the right expressly given to the city to regulate and reduce the price of gas at every period of ten years during the life of the franchise.
2. The rejected ordinance provided for the inspection of meters on complaint of any consumer, and, in the event the complaint was unfounded, the consumer should pay the expense of the inspection; and, it well founded, the company should pay the same.
This ordinance provides for such inspection on complaint of any consumer, to be made wholly at the expense of the company, notwithstanding what the result of the inspection may show.
3. The rejected ordinance, as introduced and passed by the Council, provided for a minimum charge of 50c for gas to consumers having meters installed.
This ordinance provides a minimum charge of 15c to consumers having meters installed.
4. This ordinance does away with meter rent.
So did the rejected ordinance. But under the existing franchise of the Nashville Gas Company a meter rent is charged and collected.
5. Under the rejected ordinance the company agreed to pay to the city one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) within ten days after the ratification of the said ordinance by the people.
But this payment of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) was to be in lieu of all special or privilege taxes levied or imposed, by the city, upon the company.
Under this ordinance the company will pay to the city the sum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) within ten days after the ratification of this ordinance.
But this payment of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) is to be in addition to all taxes imposed by the city upon the company.
6. Under the rejected ordinance the company agreed to pay to the city five per cent. on the gross production of gas only.
Under this ordinance the company will pay to the city, half-yearly, in addition to the $100,000.00 and all taxes above referred to, five per cent, on the gross production of gas, and, in addition thereto, on the production of all by-products.
7. Under the rejected ordinance, it was provided that the five per cent. payments on the gross production of gas should cease when the Mayor and City Council should pass an ordinance making a grant to any other company.
Under this ordinance this company will continue to pay the five per cent. on the gross production of gas and all by-products, until such time as the city passes, and the qualified voters approve, an ordinance granting a franchise to some other company, and such company shall actually engage in business.
8. Under the rejected ordinance the city had no right to grant a franchise to a natural gas company.
Under this ordinance the city expressly reserves the right to grant a franchise to a natural gas company.
9. The rejected ordinance made no
9. The rejected ordinance made no provision for sworn statement by the

MAYOR HOWSE SECURES THE GIFT.
City Council Appropriates Funds for Maintenance.
After extending over a period of ten months, negotiations between Mayor Howse, G. H. Baskette and Miss Mary Hannah Johnson on the one hand and Andrew Carnegie on the other, ended in the latter notifying Mr. Baskette yesterday that he would donate the sum of $50,000 for two branch libraries, one of them for colored people, provided that the City Council would agree to appropriate $2,500 yearly for the maintenance of each.
In accordance with this proposition, and following a recommendation to that effect by Mayor Howse, the City Council last night adopted a resolution agreeing to it in every de-

tail, by which they bind the city to appropriate $5,000 annually for the support and maintenance of the two institutions.
Following is the letter received by the President of the Nashville Library. It may be explained that Mr. Carnegie turned over the distribution of his library donations to the Carnegie Corporation of New York, of which James Bertram, his private secretary, is secretary.
"New York, April 3, 1912. G. H. Baskette, Esq., President of Library, Nashville, Tenn. Dear Sir—Responding to your communications on behalf of Nashville, and to letter from his honor, Mayor Howse, the Carnegie Corporation of New York will be glad to give $50,000 to erect two free public library branch buildings for Nashville (one especially for the colored people) and each costing $25,000. This donation is promised with the provision that Nashville will agree by resolution of Council to maintain free public libraries in these buildings at an aggregate cost of not less than $5,000 a year, and provide a suitable site for each building.
"It should be noted that the amount indicated is to cover the cost of the library buildings complete.

FISK WINS AT HOME--ABRORD
IN DEBATE ATLANTA
AT NASHVILLE
With Wilberforce at Wilberforce.
Wilberforce, G., April 6—Amid deafening applause the Fisk boys were acclaimed victors over Wilberforce University in a debate last night, which the rapt attention of an audience of more than 500 people in magnificent Galloway Hall. When Prof. G. M. Sampson, of Xenia, the presiding officer, unsealed the envelopes containing the decision of the judges, which declared the stalwart sons of Fisk the winners by a two-to-one vote, the breathless suspense which had been pent up in the large audience broke its bonds and yielded to the shout and clamor of an aplauding audience, grateful for the opportunity to give the deserved need of praise to the gallant three who waged the battle forensic for the gold and blue. Unconscious of the fact that while they were speaking there looked down upon their heads from a line which stretched across the front of the thirty-foot stage, the pennant which has pointed more than one team to victory, on the diamond the gridiron and the rostrum.
The annual debate between Fisk and Atlanta University was held in Fisk Memorial Chapel, Friday night, April 5th. The subject for discussion was "Resolved. That the present method of electing United States Senators is preferable to a system by popular vote." Mr. Thos. J. Henry, '13, and Mr. Jno. W. Rice, '12, of Atlanta, defended the affirmative side of the question, while Mr. C. W. Kelly, '12, and Mr. Ernest Alexander, '14, of Fisk, supported the negative. There was quite a large and appreciative audience out in spite of many other attractions of a literary nature in the city.
The gentlemen from Atlanta based their whole contention upon the incapacity of the people to elect their Senators.
The first speaker on the affirmative contended that such evils as exist in the present system are not inherent in the system, but are the result of the people using wrongly a system which in itself is desirable.
The first negative speaker argued that the present system has not worked well, using as the basis of such contention the evils arising from the confusion of State and National issues.
On the other hand direct election would tend to improve the Senate, inasmuch as equal state representation would be secured and the people being the constituency of the Senators could demand a thorough and just representation of their interests.

"Before any expenditures on buildings or plans is incurred, the approval of proposed plans by Carnegie Corporation of New York should be secured, to obtain which please send sketch of plans for inspection.

TEACHERS' ASSO. BIG SUCCESS
FOUR TO FIVE HUNDRED ATTEND
Pres. Batts Delivers Strong Addrers.
The closing days of the Middle Tennessee Colored Teachers' Association furnished some interesting addresses and talks on education by some of the leading educators of the country. Notable among them was Prof. Brister, of Virginia, who is the brother to Prof. J. W. Brister, Superintendent of Public Instruction of this state. Prof. Brister told of the school work in Virginia and showed that he was very familiar with the subject. It was brought out that Virginia is way ahead of Tennessee in the rural school work, and that a systematic plan is in operation whereby all the people take an interest in the maintenance of all the county schools and also that Negroes are appointed by the State as supervisors and inspectors of these schools. It is gratifying, however, to know that the Superintendent of this state favors a plan as spoken of by his brother from Virginia, and the Negroes in Tennessee may look forward to the day when such appointments will be made.
The President's annual address, which was delivered on Thursday night at the First Baptist Church, was full of good thoughts and wise suggestions. Prof. Batte covered the ground fully, and if the recommendations suggested by him are put in force all the schools in Tennessee will see a better day in the near future; and whereas there are very few high schools in Tennessee now, there will be many others in counties where there are enough Negroes to support them. President Batte said in part in his address:
"The teachers of today being confronted with electric cars, automobiles and flying machines must prepare the boys and girls along such lines that they will be able to take their places as useful citizens. The seaman in mid-ocean was told to let down his bucket where he was and he could get fresh water. So these boys and girls must be trained to make a livelihood in their own community, and not like birds migrate from country to city that they may be cursed by city life. They must be made to realize the importance of a rustic life. The teachers of today must so lead their pupils that they will be able to wrest from mother earth not only a living, but wealth and happiness. They must be made to see the pleasure there is in farm life. The teacher of today must be able to so impress his pupils that when he commands, there will be a right about march of the colored youth from city back to the farm, not to farm on shares, but own the land and farm on the latest and most improved plans. If not these improved plans, he must at least get the inspiration from the teacher. Those children who must of necessity remain in the city should be so enthused that they will rise to a plain of self-reliance. They must be so prepared that they will not be swept from their feet by the great whirlpool of city life. Though this be a Herculean task, the Negro teacher needs not only thorough preparation and adaption, he also needs a divine call to the teaching profession. So important is the work of the Negro teacher that we must justly say he should be born as a teacher and not made so by man. As we look out on
conditions as they surround our people, should we not be much concerned about the future? As teachers, should we not begin to council touching these conditions? I think if these questions were put to you that the affirmative would get your unanimous vote. The following summaries show the operation of the colored public school of the state by counties and cities for the year ending June 30, 1908:

All of the Old Officers Re-elected—Prof. Pickens of Taliadega a Strong Contender for Honors
Selma, Ala., April, 13.—Suring scenes, delayed tactics and smooth parliamentary rules marked the closing of the 21st annual session of the Alabama State Teachers' Association, which was held here this week. The sessions on Friday were held in the chapel of Selma University. They began at 9:30 a.m. with round tables for the four departments. At these departmental meetings the teachers, numbering approximately 1,200, as they had arrived daily increasing the attendance from 1,000 to 1,200, got a splendid insight to many school problems. After the adjournment of these round /ables the local committee under the chairmanship of Prof. R. B. Hudson, aby assisted by a committee of ladies, served lunch in the university dining hall.
The general session was held in the afternoon. It was at this general session that the fireworks began—it developed early in the session, and notwithstanding the record made by the administration forces in clearing the indebtedness and wiping out of the deficit and the possibilities of a report of the surplus, that there would be an aspirant for the presidency. The entire afternoon was spent in preparing for the battle royal. Stirring speeches were made, reports heard and in the end the afternoon session adjourned without reaching any understanding or without finishing a portion of work. However, dusk came on and night seemed to bring a pacifying situation. After a splendid program had been rendered in the early evening and after an able address had been delivered by a distinguished speaker for the occasion, Prof. George W. Trenholm, of Tuscany, Ala., was re-elected president while Prof. Walter S. Buchanan, principal of the A. and M. College at Normal, Ala., was re-elected secretary. It appears that the committee on nomination, which had been elected the day before, reported the re-election of the old officers, but that the friends of Prof. Pickens, of Talladega, had forced him into the race, which at one time seemed extremely close, but which assumed a different shape as the night grew older. It is agreed here by all who were in attendance that this was the crowning meeting of the thirty-one years of the association. This morning special trains and special coaches left Selma carrying hundreds of delegates to all parts of the state. There were many distinguished educators and visitors present during the week. The most pleasing in the entire proceeding was the remarkable record made by the administration reported by the recording secretary.
SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION CHORUS.
After constant rehearsals, which have been marred several times on account of inclement weather, the director of the Sunday-School Union Chorus, which is to have its rendition of sacred music, the productions of some of the best song writers who have been known, announces that the chorus is about in shape to give to the Nashville public a rare treat. Rehearsals were held last week at the First Baptist Church, East Nashville. On last Monday night they were held at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Cedar street. At both of these rehearsals a splendid attendance was on hand. The rehearsals will continue from now on at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Tonight will be the biggest rehearsal since the organization of the chorus. Every night next week the chorus will practice, and chairman Lewis is of the opinion that every one of the churches of Nashville and the public in general, will be greatly benefited by these nightly rehearsals. The choirs from the various churches will be out in full. The Sunday-school Institute proper opens Tuesday, April 16th, and closes Friday evening, April 19th. The rendition of the chorus will be Sunday afternoon, April 21st.
MR. ROLAND M. HAYES MAKING GOOD
In the Washington Bee, of the date of April 6th, the following lines appear:
"Mr. Hayes has recently won such distinction as a singer that he has been awarded a three-years' scholarship at the New England Conservatory of Music, and since his stay at the Conservatory he has shown such enthusiasm and love for his art that he has been given a scholarship in one of the Conservatories abroad."

We hope for him a speedy recovery. Dr. W. O. Irvin is able to resume his practice after a week's illness. He is a young man of ability, a graduate of Malarry.

TULLAHOMA NOTES.
The presiding elder's reception given by the members of Shorter Chapel A. M. E. Church Friday night was largely attended. The menu was served in six courses. Prof. R. O. Laws was to tastate master, and Rev. J. S. Swift was the principal speaker. The program rendered was a unique affair and will be long remembered. The soo by Mrs. Hunt was grand, also the selections by Miss Emma Clendenen. Rev. N. B. Morton is the right man in the right place. He is an honor and a pastor to any church where he may be assigned, and a man that no congregation would be shamed of. Rev. J. S. Swift was in Murfreesboro last Sunday. The Easter exercise, that were conducted by the Immaculates and Queen Esther Court Sunday was quite a success. The Grand Master, Mr. J. H. Slaten, of Columbia, made one of his famous addresses to the lodges, and Rev. Wm. Jenkins acted as master of ceremonies. Little Louise Henderson died Sunday at the residence of Mrs. Jane Wheeler. Her funeral was attended by Rev. N. B. Morton, and she was buried in the city cemetery. Little Miss Janie Mielenkins is suffering with the whooping cough. Miss Janie Lightfoot, of South Pittsburg, was the guest of Mrs. Wm. Jenkins last week. Hustling Bob has begun his truck wagon. Listening to his bell. Miss Eferlain Martin was in Decherd last week, visiting friends and relatives. Mrs. Frances Cofer, of Chattanooga, is visiting her mother on Baptist Hill this week. Pay your subscription to the Globe, and read it like Wm. Hunt. Miss Mattie Colter and Bennie Martin, of Decherd, married at 8:30 p. m. Rev. N. B. Morton officiated in the same old way. The happy couple left Monday for Decherd, where they will make their home. Pay your subscription to the Globe and you can read the news each week. The closing exercises of the public school on Tuesday and Wednesday nights were largely attended, and much enjoyed. An address by Prof. A. Eugene Malone, Ph.D. of Chicago, which was responded to by Rev. N. B. Morton, in his usual enchantment, was a much pleasing incident of the occasion, and was thoroughly appreciated by all present. The annual game of base ball was played between the public school boys and the Twilahoma locals. The school won by a score of 3 to 1. There is being much comment on the improvement of the school in class work attendance and general department. There were three to graduate from the English department this year. The principal has forcibly urged that attention be given some much-needed improvements in school facilities and it is expected that some real results will be seen by the time school starts again.

FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1912.
The New Gas Franchise.
On next Monday, April 15th, the new gas ordinance will be submitted to the voters of Nashville for ratification. The ordinance was passed by the City Council and approved by His Honor, Mayor Hilary Howse. As the City Council and the Mayor have always shown that it was their desire to subserve and advance the true interests of Nashville's citizens, it it safe to assume that in their opinion, as the representatives of the people, the pending ordinance is a good one and should be approved by the voters on Monday.
A comparison of the ordinance with the old one will disclose that all of the objectionable features have been eliminated from the pending measure, and that this is so is evidenced by the fact that both the Banner and Tennessean, which bitterly ailed and opposed the former ordinance, have editorially endorsed and approved the present franchise.
If this ordinance is ratified at the election on April 15th, it will mean that, within thirty days after such ratification, there will be released in Nashville the cash sum of approximately $1,900,000, and in addition to this sum of money, the new company is bound by the ordinance to expend on improvements and extensions of the plant, at least the sum of $500,000.00; so that the approval of the ordinance means that nearly $2,500,000 will come to Nashville as the result.
This new capital, so brought into our community, will seek immediate investment in various channels of enterprise and industry. Every business or interest in the city will feel the direct impulse of this large sum of money. The extensive improvements and betterments of the plant will require much work, and the laboring men of the city will be called on to do this work.
The result of Monday's election will be an important factor in Nashville's progress, and it is the duty of every voter to go to the polls on that day and cast his vote for what he believes the best interests of our city require and demand. In our opinion, it is to the interest and benefit of our citizens that the new gas ordinance should receive their support and vote.
The terms and provisions of the ordinance are set out in an article appearing elsewhere in this issue.
A Good Beginning.
The first session of the Middle Tennessee Colored Teachers' Association held in this city last week was a signal success from every point of view. This meeting should set at rect, if such exists, all doubt $n$ to the possibility to organize and keep in affective operation the teachers in this section. The interest manifested was the most intense and the future of the association bids fair of great results.
There is a vast field in Tennessee for the operation of educators. Thousands of children are out of school and thousands are housed in school buildings that are not as commodious as they should be. Again, there are many communities where schools should be, that are without them. The Negro teachers must do their portion of this work. They can do it better than any one else, for they understand better the needs of their own people.
The primary elections in Illinois and Maine, and the turn of things in New York and Vermont, puts quite a different color on the Taft-Roosevelt fight. Well, by July the fourth the matter will be history.
The Tennessee delegates to the A. M. E. General Conference seem to be up to their usual disintegrative habits. Better profit by past

FISK LAID LOW BY ROGER WILLIAMS STRONG AGGREGATION.
Captain George Branham Gets Homer in Third Inning—Buford Pitches Great Game—Score 6 to 5.
In a beautiful exhibition of modern base ball. Roger Williams defeated Fisk in a hotly contested game of base ball. Saturday, April 6th, by a score of 6 to 5. This experience to Fisk was rather unusual inasmuch as her feel that defeat was almost the her long list of victories had made impossible; nevertheless Roger Williams besieged her camps and devastated her would be hopes. The game was won on actual merit inasmuch as Roger showed ability to hit the ball when hits meant runs. George Branham, the leader of the Roger crew, rapped a clean home run in the third lining on a terrific line drive to deep left center. Roger exhausted Fisk's pitching staff when Davis scampered into oblivion only to be repaired by Kindall who fared but little better. The pitching ability of the Fisk team is not to be credited particularly with the keeping down of the scoring of Roger Williams boys, but rather the ineffective base running. The defeating of Fisk last Saturday was only the fulfilment of the old Persian proverb: "The old and crafty must succumb to the young and active." Buford, for Roger Williams, was the man of the hour.

TWO ANNIVERSARIES.
Seldom does it occur that a grandmother and grandson can celebrate their birthday anniversaryes on the same day, when they are so far removed in age. This occurred recently when Mrs. Alice Stevens celebrated her seventy-fifth anniversary and Mr. J. Thomas Caruthers celebrated his thirtieth anniversary. Mrs. Stevens is the grandmother of Mr. Caruthers, who, it will be remembered, gave up the presidency of the New Jersey state school to come back to Tennessee and open Rockwood Farm. A family dinner was served in which Mrs. Stevens had the honor of dining with her seven daughters and a large number of the grandchildren, most of whom live in Colorado. One, however, resides at Madisonville, Ky., while two reside in Nashville. From 4:30 to 7 guests called, paid their respects and showered Mrs. Stevens, who is a picture of health at the age of seventy-five, with congratulations. She was the recipient of a large number of presents. The favors for the guests were beautiful cards containing a photograph of the honoree.

when it was announced last Sunday
that Miss Inice Broadus and Mr.

holy bonds of matrimony early in the

we have lost one of our valuable mem-

been made vacant that cannot be
filled; but we must bow in aumble

we hope it is heaven's gain. The

SOCIAL HAPPENINGS AT SELMA,
ALA.
Selma, Ala.—Mrs. R. B. Hudson, the wife of Prof. R. B. Hudson, of this city, entertained in honor of Mrs. Booker T. Washington on last Thursday evening from four to eight o'clock. The Hudson home, which is just opposite Selma University, and which has recently been remodeled and magnificently furnished, was a scene of beauty. Mrs. Hudson was charming as a hostess, invitations had been extended to several hundred teachers who were in attendance at the State Teachers' Association.
The at home, which was complimentary to Mrs. Washington, was easy the social event of the season. In fact, it was an epoch-maker in Selma society. The bottom floor of the residence was transformed into one veritable room, in which the decorations were evergreens, potted plants, where lovely women and stately men passed a joyous evening. Refreshments were served in the dining-room to more than two hundred visitors.
In and Out Evening Affair.
In keeping with the social pace which had been set in Selma during the State Teachers' Association last week, the Progressive Culture Club, under the presidency of the of Mrs. L. L. Burwell, with Mrs. R. B. Hudson as secretary, entertained at an In and Out evening affair on last Friday. The home of Dr. and Mrs. L. L. Burwell was the scene of the occasion. The club, which is the best known social organization in the city, made the hundreds of visiting teachers go away admitting that Selma is in the first rank as a society town. The pop in and pop out feature was a novel idea. The Burwell home is considered the most palatial and costly in Selma. Refreshments dispensed by dainty meats, were served in the dining-room.
Dinner by Mrs. S. H. Sullivan.
Complimentary to a few friends. Mrs. S. H. Sullivan entertained at dinner at her home last Friday afternoon. Dinner was served in courses. Those present for the occasion were Prof. and Mrs. R. B.

Four O'Clock Dinner.
Miss Mabel F. Dinkins entertained at a beautiful four o'clock dinner at the Dinkins residence in honor of some of the visiting teachers of the State Teachers' Association last Friday.

Mrs. O. J. Voorhies, 621 Webster street, was hostess of the Imperial Club Wednesday afternoon, March 27th. Owing to the beautiful weather, every member was present save one.

Each member responded to roll call with a quotation and dues. A unique little "Button Sewing Contest" was planned by the hostess, which caused much meriment among the jolly crowd. The prizes were awarded to Mesdames Robt. Nicholson and H. D. Voorhies. Mrs. Voorhies presented to each a beautiful china hatpin holder. The hostess assisted by Miss Willie T. Cockrill, served a daintily prepared two-course menu. The dining table had as a center decoration a beautiful drawn piece on which stood a large bowl of fruit. Twenty guests were served.

Eagle Club.
The Eagle Club C. of C. held its last meeting with Miss Bessie Wilkerson, 107 Lake street. By request of the president, the meeting was converted into a business meeting. The most important transaction was the plan provided to make the club more interesting along literary as well as social lines. The president suggested that the club be divided into two divisions and be known by the colors
"Yellow and "Purple," with a captain for each side. Miss Anna Shorter will be the captain of the Purple, and Miss Maude Wilkerson captain of the Yellow. The two divisions will have a contest based upon the percentage of attendance, games and debates. There will be a debate at the next meeting, subject, "Resolved. That young people are better off married than single." After the business session was over, games were enjoyed until a late hour. The hostess then served a tempting menu.

The club-room was decorated very elaborately with the club colore gold and black, pictures and other adornments that contribute to the beautiful. Another attraction was a small bookcase of a very odd design, which was made and presented to the club by Secretary H. Jordan Stockard, who has been the very efficient secretary of the Y. M. L. C. for six consecutive terms, and still continues to give excellent service.
The club room was open to the inspection of the guests, who passed from there to the Pythian reception room to witness the ceremonies which were conducted in a very creditable manner by the president pro tem, Mr. J. L. Leach. The reception-room was taxed to its capacity and more than seventy-five well-wishers of the club witnessed the long-to-be-remembered occasion. Chief among the guests was the speaker of the evening, Dr. C. V. Roman, and if for no other reason, the guests were inspired by the impression gained from the speaker. Words of encouragement, advice and instruction were imparted to the club as well as to the guests at large. The club is indebted to Dr. Roman for his very fine address.

M. Wilkes and their sister, Miss Anna Joyce, enjoyed a pleasant afternoon Thursday, horseback riding, which is one of the chief pleasures and exercises for the ladies of this part of the country. Mrs. L. L. A. Davis and her mother, Mrs. Chester, were pleasant callers on Mrs. Zack Glenn and Mrs. D. J. Johnson Friday afternoon. Their visit was highly appreciated by them. Each of the quartette seemed to enjoy the pleasant evening, if the chattering and the pleasant words were evidences of their enjoyment. Mrs. D. J. Johnson enjoyed a very quiet but pleasant call at the home of Mrs. James Wilkes Tuesday. Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Glenn spent Sunday afternoon visitiing I. M. J. Tims and looking at the great overflow that is now visiting this community and which is so prevalent in the Mississippi Valley. We extend our greatest sympathy to Mrs. D. A Harper on behalf of her husband, who has become mentally unbalanced. Mr. Harper a useful young man in church, Sunday-school and in the community in which he lived. Mr. Cotton's home has become very notable for all lovers of music. Mr. Cotton is a newcomer in this community, but he is filled up with both vocal and instrumental music. Trenton is proud of such a man as Mr. Cotton. L. A. Davis, Mrs. Chester and Mrs. B. J. Franklin went to look at the overflow Sunday afternoon, and also enjoyed a few hours with Mrs. Amanda Walker

High Schools.
ene, following countion have high
schools: Anderson, Campbell, Cheat-
ham, Cocke, Fentress, Franklin,
Hamilton, Henry, Johnsen, Knox,
Lake, Lauderdale, Lawrence, McMinn,
‘Meigs, Monroe, Montgomery, Rhea,
Roane, Scott, Shelby, Washisigton and
‘White,
In these twenty-three counties there
are 58 high schools with a total en-
roliment of 3,167. pupils, All. these
‘are white high schools, outside of the
cities and a few large towns. There
is not one colored high school in the
state,
; Recommendations.
I recommend that there be an edu-
cational campaign waged in each
‘county of the state, but in order to
realize the full benefit of such a cam-
paign, it shall be followed by an or-
ganization crystallizing the sentiment
‘and directing it along proper lines oP
action.
| I further recommend that this meet-
ing) appoint a general committee to
wage such a campaigr, and the ere-
‘ating of such an educational organt-
zation in each county among the col-
‘ored citizens.
The school room is the enchanted
ground of pedagogy; the sacred spot
were two souls meet, each to influ:
ence and to be influenced by the
other: the trysting place of truth and
power, where they loiter, that they
‘may be selzed and used by the ehild
who has the courage to make the
capture; the mart of the mind where
carnest effort tx the only coin needed
‘to purchase a whole kingdom of mo:
ral, intellectual and spiritual truth.

NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1912.
‘way of opportunity, both to the teach.
er and to the child. To the teacher
At ie an opportunity to impart knowl-
edge, to guide efforts, to develop
bower, to form habit, to mould char.
acter, to deepen impression. To the
child {t is an opportunity to acquire
knowledge, power and skill, and to
catch glittering glimpses of the ‘great
sunlit valley of truth from the glow-
ing bill tops of the teacher's inspira.
tion. A great teacher with a pent up
personality throbing with a desire to
help others is always the center of
an unconscious Influence’ that shapes
the life and character of childhood,
but the school room is the place and
time where that influence becomes
conscidus and active, and where the
teacher, ~ with deliberate premedita-
tion, with a definite purpose and with
well-prepared plan, tries to aid and
direct the child and to control his
life,and his destiny.
Many other prominent educators
spoke at the meeting. Among them
being Mr. B. J. Carr, Director of In-
dustries at the State. Normal, — Mr.
Carr made a straightforward, bust
ness address and was heartily ap-
Plauded by the members of the Asso-
clation, He told of the efforts he had
put forth to have the State Normal
established and of the progress. the
institution was making. It was in.
teresting indeed to hear him tell of
the struggle he had to overcome many
obstacles that were thrown in the
way of the’ establishment of the
school. It is not generally known
that so much ‘opposition was hurled
against this Institution that the Ne-
groes of Tennessee go much deserve.
But Mr. Carr was plain in his state
ments and did not mince, words in
telling just how the fight was con-
ducted. The efforts put forth by this
man singlehanded are, not generally
known by the people, but there are
those who were in a position to know
‘at that time who can testify to the
fact that it was the efforts of Mr,
Carr that made the State Normal a
reality, He has not relinquished the
fight as yet, and is as vigorous today
in prosecuting the interests of the in-
stitution as he was before it was es
tablished. At the conclusion of his
‘address he extended a general invita
‘tion to the teachers and visitors to
‘make a trip out to the State Normal
‘School grounds Saturday evening,
whieh was accepted, and at the ap
‘pointed hour Saturday w train of élec
‘trie cara’ was loaded at the corner of
Demonbreun and Third Avenue, and
the trip was begun to the Stato Nor
mal grounds, Only one stop was made,
that being at Fisk University, where
of the teachers and students
‘of that institution joined the proces:
sion, En route to the grounds Dr.
Cart invited the delegates and teach-
‘ers ‘to inspect the proposed site for
the Negro Park; and after reaching
‘the school grounds the delegates
‘went on record as heartily approving
of the site under consideration and ex-
pressed the hope that in the near fu-
tere the Nearoee of auahelile oa
be enjoying the privileges offered by
a firstclass park. Nr Carr was the
handy san & Uniucbglirenie:
was to be found everywhere, and
aided. by la congenial, wife, made
everybody feel at home’ wi on the
State Normal grounds, The teachers
were unanimous in their expressions
of approval of the State Normat
buildings and its location. On every
band could be heard expressions of
detight on the natural panorama in
view. Remarks were made by Prest-
dent Hale and others, after which the
precession was’ formed and the trip
back was started. The party was de
tghted amd it was evident that the

offers of the company, showing the
zmes protaction of gas and by-pro-
acts, avd, in addition thereto, all
fects upon which payment of five
eT cent, on such gross production,
wil be made.
Under this ordinance the officers of
the company are required to make
ecb sworn statements, showing the
2ross sroduction of gas and by-pro-
@acts, 20d all other facts upon which
the city is entitled to five per cent.
om such gross production. .
1. Vader this ordinance the city.
is given the power and right, through’
Mes properly designated officers, to ex-
amine the books and records of the
company, in connection with the
sworn statements of ‘its officers. in
order to learn the true condition of
the business of the company ana the
sccurateness or sufficiency, cf the
payments made on gross production
of eas and by-produets.
ll. Under the rejected ordinance,
while the city reserved the right to
Hparchase. the right .was so involved
‘and complicated as to render it im-
possible for the city to have ever
‘been in position to pay “the _ price
‘which would be determined under tlie
Provisions of the ordinance. |
Under this ordinance the ‘ity _ re-

which the city appoints one arbitra-
tor and the company one, and, if
‘the two disagree, they shall name a
‘third. ‘
12. Under this ordinance the right
‘of purchase is given to the city in
precisely the same language as is
ottalted, in the ordinance of the
Nashville (Gas Company under which
said company is now operating.
‘The reserved right ‘of purchase on
the part of the city, as given under
‘this ordinance, is virtually an oxten-
sion of the life of tme tranchise of
the old company for a period of six-
teen years, with benefits to the city
and consumer which the old company
cannot, afford.
15, Under the rejected ordinance, no
provision was, made for any sum of
money to be spent for betterments
abd jmprovements of:the plant
jer this ordinance, by Section
16, this company is bound to expend
not less than five hundred thousand
dollars ($500,000.00) in five years
from the date of the ratification of
the, ordinance by the people. “This
‘obligation on the part of the com-
pany is made a part of the considera.
tion for the grant.»
_ While the ordinance binds this
‘company, to spend not less than five
hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.-
00), it is more than probable that the
‘company will spend a million dollars,
‘or more if necessary, in extending
and thoroughly equipping the plant.
14. The rejected ordinance contain:
‘ed no provision whatever with refer.
ence to the heating value of gas.
Under this ordinance this company
‘must supply gas of 16 candle power
for lighting purposes, and ‘gas that
will yield 600 British thermal units
‘per cubit foot, for heating purposes.
15, Under the rejected ordinance
‘there was no proper provision made
for compelling the company to main-
‘tain the proper standards for the
lighting and heating value of the gas
furnished,
_ Under this ordinance, if this com-
pany fails to furnish and supply gas,
‘in conformity to the standard of
light and heat values required, such
failure on the part of the company
will forfeit the franchise granted by
the city.
The old company,—that is, the
Nashville Gas Company,—on account
of its limited franchise, has. o¢en un-
able to make financial arrangements
to properly improve its plant, extend
‘its business and serve all consumers
‘of the’eity who desired to have the
benefit of its service,
This condition has resulted in the
failure, on the part of the old com-
pany to develop its business, in such
way as to give to the city the largest
possible benefit from the five per
cent payment on ite gross produc:
tion of gas and. by-produicts.
| Of course, it is perfectly clear that
tho largor the bysiness, and the more
extensivg the operations of the com:
pany, tht larger will be the payments
‘made by the company to the city on
the gross income from the sale of
ba and by-products.
If this ordinance is ratified by the
‘people at the election on April 18,
the city will then receive the $100,
000 in ten days, and will at al
