NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. GENERAL CONFERENCE Vol. VII. A. M. E. AND A. M. E. Z. IN SESSION. Kansas City, Mo. and Charlotte, N. C. Both Bodies Get Down to Business Monday last—Opening Session Impressive—A. M. E's Meeting in Historic Church—Allen Chapel—One of the Oldest Religious Buildings in the West Special to the Globe. Kansas City, Mo., May 6—The 24th General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church met in Allen Chapel, this city, this morning. The meeting was called to order by Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., who read the Scripture sentences. The opening hymn was lined by Bishop H. B. Parks, of Chicago; prayer offered by Bishop J. Albert Johnson, of South Africa; responsive Scripture lesson was led by Bishop J. S. Flipper, of Atlanta, who conducted the service in a very impressive manner; Decalogue was led by Bishop L. J. Coppin, of Philadelphia; second Scripture lesson by Bishop W. H. Herd, of West Africa; Hymn No. 295 was lined by Bishop Evans Tyre, of Nashville. The Quadrennial Sermon was preached by Bishop C. T. Shafer, of Chicago. It was a masterful effort, and on several occasions he lifted his audience, as it were, to the skies. Offttimes when he would relate some striking historical event through which the Church has passed in its struggle upward, many handkerchiefs were seen throughout the vast congregation. The Consecration of the Holy Communion was conducted by Bishop B. F. Lee, of Wilberforce, Ohio, and W. B. Derrick, of New York. Benedict was pronounced by Bishop C. S. Smith. A large number of delegates are present, coming from all parts of the country and from foreign lands. The members of the General Conference and their friends have brought to the city between two and three thousand visitors. The Conference will be in session for three weeks, or until the 27th of the month. The session promises to be an important one in the history of the Church. Much is expected of this General Conference aside from the election of Bishops and General Officers. It is expected that much legislation will be enacted tending to the further advancement of the Connection. The sessions are being held in the historic Allen Chapel, situated on the corner of 10th and Charlotte streets, where it occupies a large historic place in the annals of African Methodism, both because of the influence exerted over the people on the West and the distinguished men who have pastored it. Even as late as 1864 the founders of the Missouri Conference had been limited. The Conference of that year, being held in Louisville, Ky., and that of 1865, in New Orleans, La. To-day Missouri has four Annual Conferences, the youngest of which is the Southwest Missouri Conference, in which Allen Chapel is situated. It has always been a strategic point for the Church, because it is the gateway to Kansas and the furthest west. The number of Bishops to be elected at this General Conference has not been decided as yet, however, it is predicted by many of the leading men that at least five will be elected, an dprobably six. The aspirants are already busy soliciting votes, and the contest promises to be a spired one Dr. R. C. Ransom, of Kansas, is favorably mentioned for Financial Secretary, and all the West is pulling with all of its might for him. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that Dr. Hurst, the present incumbent of that office, will be elevated to the Bishopric, thereby making vacant' the position Dr. Ransom strives to attain. Dr. J. A. joneghe, of Tennessee, seems to be a leading candidate for the editorship of the Southern Christian Recorder. His State is here in force. Aside from the delegates, many of his friends are on the ground pushing his candidacy. Some of the strongest men of the race are members of this Conference, prominent among them being Dr. C. V. Roman, a specialist of international reputation. Dr. Roman is also an aspirant for honors and it is believed by his friends that he will be the successor of Dr. H. T. Kealing, President of the College conducted by the Church at Quindaro, Kans. Dr. W. T. Vernon, who was recently Register of the U. S. Treasury, is also a leading figure in this Conference. Many others might be mentioned, as the array of talent here is the equal of any that can be called among the Negroes anywhere in the world. The sessions are being held morning and evening, with some special feature for each night. The enter- NASHVILLE GLOBE. SUBSCRIPTION, $1.50 A YEAR. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. THE CHAMPION OF THE COMMON PEOPLE'S RIGHTS. MAYOR H. E. HOWSE. His excellency, Mayor H. E. Howse, is living up to every promise he made the Negro voters of Nashville during the last city campaign. He said he would see to it that a library was secured for the colored people; he has done that, and the committee is now looking for a site on which to erect the building. The Mayor promises to use his influence to have the Park Commission purchase a large tract of land for a Negro park to be maintained by the city. It is known to the people of FOR HIS ACTION IN MASS. CASE Organs that Oppose Him Compelled to Express Admiration—Country Over Must Approve the Act—Not Believed to be a Political Trick — The Real Roosevelt Spirit Exhibited in Action. Washington, May 4.—(Special)—The voluntary and immediate action of Col. Roosevelt in giving up to Mr. Taft the eight delegates-at-large from Massachusetts instructed for himself, because of Mr. Taft's majority in the preference vote, has excited the admiration and approval of newspapers and individuals the country over, regardless of political affiliations. Taken, as it was, of his own volition and without consultation with his political advisers, the action of Col. Roosevelt has with few exceptions received the commendation of newspapers of every political complexion, and among them several of the strongest Administration organs in the country. The New York Times, than which there is no stronger supporter of Mr. Taft, comments editorially on the Colonel's action as follows: "In surrendering to President Taft the eight delegates-at-large from Massachusetts who were elected as pledged to vote for himself, Mr. Roosevelt has done a manly and honorable thing. It is a nact that will have an instant response of praise and approval for him the country over." * * * "The voters declared a preference for Mr. Taft, and that, under the law, is the exact equivalent of resolutions of instructions in a State convention. it should be binding upon delegates-at-large. This, Mr. Roosevelt frankly and with most commendable candor acknowledges, and will urge and continue to urge the eight delegates at large to support Mr. Taft at Chicago." From the Hartford Courant, a bitter anti-Roosevelt newspaper, comes the following editorial paragraph: "Theodore Roosevelt has released the eight delegates-at-large from their pledges to vote for him and requested them to vote at Chicago for William H. Taft as being the choice of the preference primary. It is a very sportsmanlike action." .DR. PHILLIPS RETURNS TO ST. JOURS. Bishop C. H. Phillips arrived home Tuesday from Macon, Ga., where he has been attending a meeting of the Bishops of the C. M. E. Church. The Bishop hastened to return owing to the continued illness of Mrs. Phillips, who is, however, somewhat improved. Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., of St. Louis, who has been in the city several days with his mother, returned to his field of labor Tuesday night. While in the city Dr. Phillips was with his mother most of the time, and the few hours he spent among old friends were the most pleasant.

The achievements above mentioned are only a few of many, for Mayor Howse is daily contributing in some way to the needs of the Negroes of this city. The State Normal would never have been located in this county had not his Honor stood so valiantly at the helm and contended for cashville. Mayor Howse will always be remembered by the citizens of this city as a man of courage and broadness of heart. Organization Perfected and Delegates Elected to State Republican Convention—Instruct Them to Vote for Col. Theodore Roosevelt —Strong Resolutions Adopted—Committees Appointed. A convention of Davidson County Republicans was held at the Majestic Theatre on Cedar street, this city, May 4th. Hon. P. F. Hill called the meeting to order and was elected Temporary Chairman. He stated that the object for calling the meeting was to give a square deal to the Republican voters of Davidson County. Rev. B. J. Meredith was elected Temporary Secretary. The Committee on Permanent Organization, consisting of Messrs. A. M. Cockrill, Luke Mason, R. C. Martin, James Bumpas, A. W. Fite, reported for permanent officers the following: Mr. T. Clay Moore, Chairman; Hon. J. Thomas Turner, Secretary. They were elected. The Chairman appointed the following Committee on Resolutions: J. Tomas Turner, B. J. Meredith, A. L. Pinkston, A. W. Fite and Hayes Cole. The committee reported the resolutions, which were adopted unanimously. The resolutions declared that the Republican County Executive Committee had not carried out the law governing the primaries to select delegates, but instead of a primary a list of delegates had been made up by the ring at its own dictation and that these so-called delegates were entirely unrepresentative of the rights and interests of the mass and popular expression of Davidson County Republicans. The resolutions also repudiate the business transacted by the recent county convention, and provided for delegates to the District and State Conventions to be held in Nashville May 14, the reorganization of the party in the County Executive Committee, and instructed the delegates to the State Convention to vote for delegates-at-large who will vote for Col. Theodore Roosevelt in the National Republican Convention to be the presidential nominee of the Republican party. The following delegates were elected to the State Convention that convenes in Nashville May 14: P. F. Hill, A. M. Cockrill, T. Clay Moore, J. Thos. Turner, Luke Mason, A. L. Pinkston, P. J. Meredith, W. L. Miller, Dr. George S. Moore, A. W. Fite, James W. Blaine, James Bumpas, Hayes Cole, R. C. Martin. Alternate: R. E. Gee, P. H. Hayden, T. G. Ewing, J. C. Fields, Will Campbell, Wayne Warfield, T. B. Brown, I. L. Moore, E. W. McGuire, Frank Paschall, Harry Wright, Dr. J. A. Lester, W. M. Franklin. The following Committee on County Executive Committee was appointed: P. F. Hill, Rev. Luke Mason, A. M. Cockrill, J. Thomas Turner, A. W. Fite. Mrs. Lillie B. Williamson, of 614 Fourteenth avenue, North, is convalescent. PEARL PROGRESSIVENESS WILL BE EXEMPLIFIED THIS YEAR. Commencement On Higher Plane. Graduates will Wear Caps and Gowns —Dates Changed for Convenience of Friends—Great Activity in Main Hall Daily—Speakers Working Hard for the Occasion of their Com- The commencement exercises of the Pearl High School promise to be unusually good this year. Prof. F. G. Smith, the principal, submitted his program to Supt. J. J. Keyes on Wednesday for consideration by the Commencement Committee. The speakers and singers have been hard at work for some weeks trying to get things in shape for that important occasion. It is admitted that no school or college, no matter how attractive a program it may offer, is able to bring out the vast audience that always overtaxes the capacity of the Ryman Auditorium when Pearl High celebrates its Annual Commencement. The program this year will be above the average and will offer some new features. In the first place, the class of 1912 has adopted Moore's Official High School Cap and Gown as the costume to be worn that night. These caps and gowns are an entirely new thing for high schools. Their adoption shows that the principal, faculty and pupils of this rapidly growing educational institution are fully abreast of the times. They are made of a beautiful gray serge with gray broadcloth cap with tassel of same hue. The yoke is smaller than the bachelor's gown, with round rather than pointed sleeves. A sample outfit was sent on trial and the material, fit and "up-to-dateness" captivated the majority of the class. This garb was used last year for the first time in the high schools of Chicago, in some of the cities of Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Michigan. It is said that Pearl High will be the first to use them in the South. The Commencement this year will take place on Friday night, June 7. This is a radical change, but will doubtless meet with the approval of the citizens. Prof. F. G. Smith has noticed for some years that the attendance on the part of the Board of Education, City Council and City and State officials, as well as the attendance of white citizens who are friends to the Negro, has been decreasing. He attributed this diminution in attendance to the fact that the white people were up late the night before in attendance on the Fogg High School Commencement and that late hours two nights in succession was a little on them. It was at his suggestion that the date be changed, as he wishes to hold the friends the high school has already made and also through them to make new ones. The hall of the second floor of this school is a busy place these latter days. Oratofy and music are the order of the day. The valedictorian, Miss Willa Brown, and the salutatorian, Mr. John Gordan, are both working hard to make a splendid efort. Both the boys' and girls' Glee Club have some beautiful and witty selections, which will please and delight the people. The number in the graduating class will be twenty-seven if all pass the final examination, 11 boys and 16 girls. TUSKEGEE OFFICERS AGREE WITH CONGRESS The officers of Tuskegue Institute have agreed with the officers of the National Baptist Sunday-School Congress, which meets at Tuskegue Institute June 5 to 10, to see that a charge not exceeding $1.00 is made for the board of such delegates as may attend. No sum in excess of $1.00 will be charged, whether delegates board on the Institute grounds or in families in the town of Tskegue, or the surrounding Institute community. REV. W. N, DE BERRY AT FISK CHAPEL. Rev. W. N. DeBerry, of Springfield, Mass., proached at the Union Church, Fisk Memorial Chapel, Sunday at 11 o'clock a.m. He some years ago took the degree of B. S. at Fisk and the B. D. at Oberlin, O. He enjoys the distinction of being pastor of the church of which the famous John Brown was a member when he lived in Springfield, Mass., over fifty years ago. His is also the largest and most institutional church in New England conducted by a colored pastor. Rev. DeBerry was born and reared in this city adn lived here until he graduated from Fisk University. He has a brother living here, Mr. C. DeBerry, with whom he is stopping while in the city. COMMENCEMENT AT WALDEN CONCLUDES WITH EXERCISES THURS. Began May 2 With a Musicale. All of the Exercises Largely Attended —Baccalaurate Address by President Kumler—Councilman S. P. Harris, A. M., LL. D., Addresses Law Department Students —Exhibits of Class Work. The commencement exercises of Walden University were concluded hursday morning with the graduation of the College Class and an address by Rev. Ira Landrith, D.D., president of Belmont College. The exercises, beginning with a musical on Thursday night, May 2, were all well attended, and the large audiences were unanimous in their praise of the work accomplished. An event that was the crowning event of the week was the address delivered by Councilman S. P. Harris to the graduates of the Law Department. He spoke on the subject "The Negro Lawyer," and set a standard that will surely lead every one of the graduates of 1912 to success. The address is as follows: I desire to study with you this evening, for a few minutes, the Negro lawyer, with a view to ascertaining his position in the community, the relation he sustains to society. From hearing so many loose and uncomplimentary remarks concerning the lawyer and his profession, I have reached the conclusion that there is a very improper conception in the minds of the unlitited as to this important and most worthy profession. And this is especially true among our people. I get this idea from their expressed views and opinions concerning the Negro lawyer. [Name] Who Addressed the Law Class of Walden University. There are many reasons for this. But they all spring from one main cause, I think, and that is this: Those of us who decide to take up the study of the law with a view to entering upon the practice of the profession as or life's work, do not ourselfs form an accurate idea, nor get anything like a proper conception of the duties and responsibilities of the lawyer. That is to say, we do not form or set up for ourselves the correct ideal of the lawyer. A man never rises higher than his ideal. That is a safe and sound proposition. I believe it with all my soul. Indeed, I doubt whether one ever enters into a full and complete realization of his ideal. That is, I do not believe that the ideal ever becomes the actual, fully and completely. I have my doubts about that. We hear such expressions as "alm high," "Shoot at the stars though you hit the tree tops," and many other like expressions do we hear. These are but spurs to urge us on so that we may get the very best possible out of any department of endeavor or human activity in which we may be engaged. So. I thought it would not be amiss on this occasion to speak to you concerning the Negro lawyer, with a view to arousing an interest or creating an awakening or to challenge your attention, if you please, to some very false and erroneous opinions which hold as respects this very important and indispensable profession. I say important profession because it is very essential to our welfare as a race. I say indispensable because we cannot get along without the Negro lawyer, however slightly we may regard him. He is an indispensable adjunct to our civilization. Indeed, he is more than an adjunct. He is, in very truth, part and parcel of our civilization. My purpose in calling your attention to these erroneous views is (Continued on Page 4) TENNESSEE'S LEAD- ING NEGRO JOURNAL No. 19 STRUCK BY LIGHTNING No.19 MR. FRIERSON MET DEATH SUNDAY. Was Getting Ready For Church. Terrific Storm Does Much Damage—House Tops and Chimneys Fill the Air—During the Storm Mr. Frierson was Struck—Funeral Tuesday at Pleasant Green Baptist Church—Largely Last Sunday morning the storm did its work in and around Nashville. It was one of great severity, but of short duration. Many houseets and chimneys were demolished, trees were torn up and great waste and ruins were in the path of the mighty storm which swept over the city. The rain came down in torrents, accompanied with large hallstones, terrific peals of thunder and flashes of lightning. Just before the eleven o'clock hour of service, when most people were preparing to attend the Lord's house, a heavy dark cloud arose, and many were caught away from church, while those who had taken advantage of Satan and attended Sunday-school were in the house of worship while the storm spent its fury. A sad incident brought about by the terrific storm was the death of Mr. Eugene Frierson at his home on Spring street in North Nashville. In this home, which is a model of neatness, where love reigned supreme. Mr. and Mrs. Frierson were preparing things about the house and getting the morning meal ready in order to get away for the 11 o'clock service. Mr. Frierson came into the house and said to his wife, in his usual loving manner, "Sweetheart, I'm so hungry." She turned and asked him to get some water and then they would have breakfast. He picked up the bucket, put on a derby, and went at once for the water. Returning with the water, he had just entered his gate when a hard peal of thunder with a vivid flash of lightning carrying a deadly bolt in it felled him to the ground. A neighbor, who chanced to come to her door, saw him fall and screamed to his wife that Mr. Frierson had been struck by lightning. Neighbors at once gattered and carried him into the house, where they found that the lightning had spent its force, tearing the derby to pieces and breaking into the copper wire that bound the hat. Four doctors were summoned and everything possible was done but, in a short while the soul had returned to God who gave. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Pleasant Green Baptist Church, where the deceased had been a member for eighteen years. A large concourse of friends filled the church auditorium to take the last look at the deceased. Funeral eulogies were given by Rev. J. C. Fields, pastor of Pleasant Green Church, Rev. Crosby, and Rev. C. H. Clark, pastor of Mt. Olive Church. Many beautiful traits of Mr. Frierson's life were told, one of especial notice being his devotion to his mother and sisters. He was a devoted Christian and a loving husband. Mrs. C. O. Hadley sang sweetly, "In the Shadow of Wing." The floral offerings were His Wing. Mr. Frierson was an energetic young man who, following in the footsteps of his father, was a stone contractor, and was also a Pythian and member of the Stone Masons' Union, and both orders were out in large numbers. He had by hard work purchased a lovely home and was preparing to enjoy life when God called him to rest from his labors. NO INSURANCE ON NEGRO PROPERTY. Special to the Globe. Lake Providence, La., May 4.—Another case has come to light in this community where a Negro is made to suffer because the fire insurance company here will not insure his goods. He has recently received a shipment from one of the large manufacturing plants of Nashville, Tenn. When the shipment arrived here application was made for insurance, and every agent in the town flatly refused to insure the goods. It is also learned that for several years this practice has been going on. It is expected that a fight will be made for fair play. It has also bee nlearned that several other places in the South have adopted the same rule, and Negro business men are made to suffer because of this discrimination against them, and have expressed a determination to take up the matter with the state authorities, as it is considered a great injustice for men who are leaders in the community to be deprived of the protection that the fire insurance companies guarantee.

FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1912. Our Children. It is indeed alarming to see the rein parents of this city allow their children, and unless a halt is called, in a short while Nashville will have a class of citizens that will be a menace to the comfort and safety of the whole city. It is the height of folly for parents to conceive the idea that they can turn their children out to run at large and expect them to grow to respectable manhood and womanhood. A serious blunder that mothers and fathers are making is that they will not take the time to accompany their children on their pleasure jaunts. We submit that the young people ought to be allowed to have their pleasures; that they ought to be permitted to visit the parks, and other places of amusement; but it is hard to believe to conceive the idea that they can that parents can conceive the idea that boys just entering their teens, and girls of the same age, can be permitted to go to parties and dance till the turn of the night; visit the parks and roam until the cars are making their final trips, and then expect those children to be moral men and women when they reach maturity. Late hours destroy grown up people. It is often the case that young men and women, who have been reared in good homes and have been taught to keep regular hours, after reaching their maturity take up the habit of keeping late hours. They start out with strong bodies and clean characters, but before many years they return to their parents total wrecks. If such a life will tear down strong constitutions and debauch strong characters how impossible it is for the child that grows up leading a life of debauchery to develop into a moral man or woman. The time has come when a check must be put on. Parents should call a halt, and also realize the fact that God has given them children to train up properly, and that they are custodians of their health and their characters, and that unless they are true to the trust imposed great will be the calamity, not only on the children, but on the parents as well. Tennessee Republicans on Trial. The approaching election will bring to light the true spirit of all political parties. In Tennessee for several years there has been confusion, and it has been hard to tell democrats from republicans. There have been so many coalitions and so much fusionism that party lines have almost been obliterated. This has been done in the interest of power. Certain men have wanted to hold office and to get the office they have sacrificed the party to the extent that the voters are at sea. Federal office-holders are dictating things, but that day is fast coming to an end. The people must decide and will decide who shall hold the offices and what the policy of the parties will be. The interest of the state and the nation should take precedence over the issues of individuals, and those men who have not the courage to put those interests ahead of their ambitions will be asked to step down and out. A party that cannot be a respectable party should not exist as a party, be it republican or what not. ...Roosevelt slugged them over the ropes in Maryland and gave them a "back-hand lick" in the right optic in Texas. If he can only give the Tennessee crowd a solar plexus blow the job will be all but completed. If the college athletic associations in Nashville did not have boat racing this spring, no blame can be attached to a scarcity of water. The Cumberland has done her full duty in that respect. The Beef Trust was not satisfied with collecting the cost of their law suit in advance, and are now collecting the privilege tax. COMMENCEMENT AT ROGER WILLIAMS.

Everything in the store is right abreast of the times. It is a great addition to the Negro business and speaks volumes of praise for these young men. The fountain is as fine as any in the South, and the service is all heart could wish.

COMMENCEMENT AT WALDEN. (Continued from Page 1) to get ourselves, the lawyers of the race, into a position to combat successfully these false views and thus correct them, to the end that our lawyers may stand before the public as a very respectable class of gentlemen, as much so as the members of any other profession. I think this is not asking too much. I do not want this to be taken as an apology. I would not be understood as attempting to make one. I simply want the members of the legal profession measured by the very same standard by which the members of any other profession are judged. No more, no less. Now, what are some of these false views? One of the most common we hear is that lawyers as a rule are not truthful men. Their reputation for truthfulness and veracity does not go very far with many of our people. It is a common thing to have it said that a lawyer's statement cannot be relied upon implicitly. That it must be accepted with "many grains of allowance." I am not speaking of individuals, but of lawyers as a class. I have heard it said time and again, that the word lawyer is synonymous with that short and ugly word. You know what it is. Now, of course this is not true. But there is such a thing as repeating a falsehood so often that it will come to be relied upon as the truth. People will come to the point where they will accept it without question, and pass it along as an established fact. That is well nigh the case with this statement. It has been repeated so often—and in many cases as a jest—that it is now accepted as true in a sense. And this does injury to the profession. This and similar statements which are calculated to do hurt to our profession, ought to be challenged by every lawyer and by any one who is contemplating studying law, whenever repeated, whether in jest or not. And not only challenged, but they should be met and completely shattered. Their falsity should be fully exposed so as to leave no room for doubt. The word lawyer is not synonymous with the word liar, etymologically or any other way. It never was an dnever will be. The lawyer is taken fully and completely into the confidence of his client. This is true of the community in which he lives. This cannot be said of the other fellow. The lawyer is entrusted with interests involving millions of money, thus coming into the most delicate and fiduciary relations as to the home, the family and the community in which he lives. The liar can lay claim to no such distinction. He is never thus taken into the confidence of the individual, of the family, nor of the community. Growing out of this same idea, the contention is made in some quarters that the lawyer is not included in the "final perseverance of the saints." Strange as it may seem to you, it is nevertheless true that the number of persons, even at this late day, who deny the lawyer admission into the kingdom of heaven is very large. They will grant him membership in the church all right, and they will readily subscribe to the doctrine of "whosoever will may come," yet, when it comes right down to the question of the lawyer being saved, they balk. And if they admit that he may be saved, you can plainly see that mental reservation upon the very expression of their countenances. They muse: "it is possible, but barely probable." Just where such an idea should have sprung from, one can only surmise. My conjecture is that it must have come from a misinterpretation or the Scriptures. You remember that gospel story of the young man, who was a lawyer, coming to Christ and inquiring the way of salvation. We'll—as you remember, the young man felt that he could not meet the conditions of discipleship as set out by Christ, and so he went away unsaved. After he had gone, Christ used the illustration of the "camel" and the "eye of the needle." But a close reading of the story will discover the fact that it was his possessions and not his profession that stood in his way as a stumbling block. Such an interpretation, or rather interpretation of the Scripture reminds me of the story told of the pastor who objected to the members of his church playing marbles. He was a very influential pastor and his members had much confidence in him. As a rule they would accept whatever he might say about matters pertaining to the Christian life without question, and would readily follow his lead. But in this particular instance, they insisted that he should give them "what sayeth the Scriptures," about this particular pastime, and point out to them where the Bible was against marble playing. So he decided to preach a special serion on the subject and settle the matter for all time to come. After casting around for a text, he decided to make a selection from the reported conversation between Christ and Nicodemus, in which Christ pointed out the qualifications necessary for citizenship in the new kingdom. He formed this sentence and used it as a text: "And Christ said unto Nicodemus, Marvel not, I say unto you." am told that he made a right good son out of it and succeeded in impressing his audience very much. Again, we have it said that the lawyer is a trickster. That he will bear watching he will lead you up against some very tough propositions, all to your hurt and for his own benefit. That is to say, that he is to be set down as a very selfish man. He is always looking out for his own interest, perfectly oblivious as to the interest of others. Now if you don't believe that such an opinion holds as to lawyers, just let one start something in this town. It does not matter what it is. Let him start anything for the good of the community in which he lives; for the good of the entire town; for the uplift of the race in general. I repeat, let him start something like this. Let him be the prime mover. And you will soon find your doubting Thomases. Yes, they will spring up like mushrooms. They usually begin by asking questions like these: "Who did you say it was that called the meetings?" "Why, Mr. Jones," you answer. "What is his object in calling the meeting?" "Well," you say, "he thinks there should be some such organization as a civic league or something of the kind to look after the moral tone of our community. He says that matters seem to be going to the bad around here and he thinks that we ought to get together and project some money to improve and otherwise?" "What is the membership fee?" he asks. Well, of course you can't tell him because they have not met as yet and decided the party asking the questions knows this just as well as you do. But he must ask some questions in order to put in his demurrier. Finally he says, "Well, you had better watch that fellow, He's a lawyer, you know, and lawyers are tricky." Now this party does not go to the meeting and does what he can keep others from going. But, my friends, I want to say to you that the real lawyer is anything else but a trickster. I mean by that to say that the real, genuine lawyer stands for those things which are just the opposite of the things for which the trickster stands. The lawyer stands for uprightness, for probity of character, for a square deal. He scorns and frowns down upon any suggestion looking toward crookedness in man's dealing with man. He has utter contempt for the man or set of men who would attempt a thing. Again, it is said that the lawyer hunts up lawsuits. That he seeks to bring about such complications that will result in lawsuits. In fact, I have heard it said that he aids, abets and encourages lawsuits, that he himself might be employed and thus feed upon the ignorance and credulity of his client. Now, my friends, I wish to say that this is a common charge. That is to say, it is a charge one frequently hears on the streets, in the workshop and in the home. And it is a very serious charge. It is a belief generally held by our people concerning the Negro lawyer. But I hasten to say that nothing can be further from the truth when it comes down to the real lawyer. You will note that I am trying to emphasize the word "lawyer" in this paper. And in order that you may not mistake my meaning, I sometimes use the words "real" and "genuine." I have no defense to make of the pettifoggers that creep into the profession. The legal profession should not be held responsible for them any more than the medical profession should be held responsible for the quacks that get into it; or the ministry, for the worthless characters that slip into it. This matter of slipping in has been going on all along the ages. It was in vogue when Christ was here on earth. You remember the story about the man who slipped into the wedding feast, not having on the wedding garment. That practice is kept up even to this day and time. The difference is, we are not so rigid in enforcing the rules against the fellows without the wedding garment as the people of old times were. Permit me to say in passing that these without the wedding garment fellows may be found in all of the professions, in all of the trades, and in every department of human endeavor. And for my part I believe the rules should be most rigid enforced. They can be, but I must not take up the time in discussing the ways and means. But to return to the thought, J deny that the lawyer hunts up lawsuits. I deny that he seeks to bring about complications that will result in lawsuits. On the contrary, the lawyer seeks to keep down lawsuits. He avoids seeking redress through the courts. That is his last resort. His method is that of compromise, of adjustment, of equitable settlement outside of the courts. I'd have no trouble in citing many cases to prove that this is true. If it were not for this characteristic of the lawyer the whole country would crowded with business. There would be involved in lawsuits. If it was the disposition of the lawyer to bring about complications that would result in lawsuits, the courts would be overcrowded with business. There would be lawsuits upon lawsuits, an endless chain of lawsuits. No, believe me, my friends, the lawyer does not seek to bring about lawsuits. But because of his genius and his skill; because of his disposition to see that all parties to the controversy might have a fair deal, men are many times enabled to avoid lawsuits. They are enabled to reach an understanding and come to an agreement and thus settle their differences outside of the courts. Having pointed out some of the erroneous views and opinions commonly held as to the lawyer and his profession, let us next inquire as to the remedy and find out. If possible, how these views can be successfully met and corrected. I would say that it all depends upon the kind of life the lawyer lives in his community. For the purpose of this discussion, my friends, I do not hesitate to say that a man is what the people say he is. This may run counter to the views of some of you all, but I believe that I am stating the correct principle. I know that this is true in the professional world. I know also that I am stating the rule that is applied by the courts in the mater of establishing or proving one's character. If, when a person's character is in issue, the court can determine from the testimony of the witnesses, what the people of his community say about him, that fixes his status then and there so far as character is concerned. I repeat, a man is what the people say he is. Then the lawyer in living out Boutte & Drayton PHARMACISTS Phone M. 2574 Cor. Lafayette and Maple Sts.

These ought to govern his actions in his private, as well as in his public capacity. In all of his dealing with men and measures, he must be governed by the rules of right conduct. Nothing else will do, if he would succeed. I need not point out these rules. If a man has sense enough to be a lawyer, he knows where and how to find them. There is a code of business ethics and there is a code of professional ethics. If a business man would achieve real permanent success, he must adhere strictly to business rules. The same is true of the Negro lawyer. If he would succeed, he must raise the standard of his profession by a strict compliance with the rules of professional conduct. In this way only can we hope to correct the impression that has gone abroad and completely uproot and overturn the erroneous views and opinions which hold as respects this most worthy and honorable profession.

On the Square, Panama and Costa Rica the surprising to us, but we were glad it carried us along near the shores, where we could see for miles the mountain ranges. We began to think it possible that the ship would call at the port of Bocas del Toro, which seems to be between a hundred and a hundred and fifty miles from Colon. We watched the mate as he dropped the log line and threw on his signal forward in full force. Here the great propeller of the steamship began to work in full force. Looking, meditating and remembering both those we had left in the beautiful Republic of Panama and those who were expecting us at home, we had nothing to amuse us except the dial of the log line. Holding our watch, we found that we were making about eleven knots an hour. Calculating from this that if we left Colon at twelve m. Saturday, we would reach Port Limon at eight a. m. Sunday morning. This would give us twenty hours steady sailing, and, at ten knots per hour, it would be about two hundred miles from the port of Colon. We were very anxious to call at the port of Bocas del Toros for the reasons it is a great fruit port. It is at this port that the United Fruit Company has its largest banana farm, with a railroad to Sanchez and intermediate points. Also there are here many colored people with a pastor by the name of Rev. E. C. Natman. There is a Baptist church and several missions. However, these are connected with the Jamaican Baptists. Inquiring of the captain, I found that the ship would not call at this port. Hence, after six o'clock dinner, we spent the time making the acquaintance of the few passengers that were aboard the beautiful ship. Right here we began to wonder if there was anything in the old adage or superstition concerning the number thirteen, for when we examined our state room it was No. 13. Though it was as beautifully arranged, with bed dressed in pure white linen and everything as convenient as heart could wish, yet the number thirteen stood out clearly before us, and we fell asleep with that number on our mind. Early Sunday morning we arose and, just after daylight, discovered the distant mountains and knew we were in sight of land. But when we drew closer to land, we sailed up the Costa Rican Bay, we saw what seemed to us banks of snow. The wind was cool and we asked the captain if it was possible that in Costa Rica we had snow-capped mountains like the Rockies. He informed us that what we saw was the rising vapor from behind the mountains, and we afterwards learned that this vapor was caused by the heat from the volcanoes. In a short time we could see Port Limon, and the sailors began to get busy on the deck, and the steamship gave a long, loud blast which told us they were giving notice to the port. In a short time the ship directly we saw a launch coming, carrying dropped its anchor in Port Limon Bay and the flag of Costa Rica, and the sailors began lowering the ship's ladder, and immediately a man and his attendant climbed aboard. We had no right to ask him his nationality, but neither he nor his attendant were white or black. They jabbered something that by close attention we discovered was in the Spanish language, and, then, we said, "Ah, these people, too, speak Spanish." The doctor examined first the crew, then the passengers and then wanted to know who was to land and how long they were expected to stay. When finding that all on board except two were through passengers, he did not carry long. Another blow of the whistle brought the dock pilot with his crew, and we were told that the pilot notified the captain that the swells were so great that the authorities could not let the ship come along side or any passengers be unloaded until the next morning. Sad, sad indeed, for us. When breakfast was over, we sat on the deck of the anchored ship while she played at mooring and could hear the church bells tolling the hour of worship, and we do not know when the day has ever been when we so much longed to join the people of God in the worship of His name, but we felt it was our loss and we must make the best of it. So we read what books and magazines we had and spent the day in watching other ships come to anchor in the bay, out from the deck as we were. In conversing with the captain we found that there was an unusual disturbance of the waters, that it was not quite on account of the Sabbath, but on account of the disturbance in the waters. The presumption was that somewhere a great storm was raging and the swells were reaching this point. The day was spent and night came on. The dock was lighted with electricity and the Johnson, Ladis Martin, Bessie Turner, Lena McDaniels. The program was bright and cheerful. It is the desire that the school may keep in closest touch with the Sunday-school and church at home and be interested in all foreign lands. The Negro Baptist church, its origin and growth, was a special feature. Mjss Grimes taught the class, gave the examinations and conducted the exercises. Mrs. Wm. Hynes most gracefully presented the certificates an spoke an encouraging word. Dr. Bandy delivered the address, empha ```markdown ``` AT ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY.

FRIDAY. MAY 10. 1912. lighthouse on President Island shone out and we could hear the different ships, with their bells tolling the hour at fifteen-minute intervals. We fell asleep in our room number thirteen and thought of the beautiful land before us instead of the number thirteen. Early Monday morning, February 20th, the whistle blew again and the old sea pilot, or wharf pilot, came to conduct the ship along side that it might be relieved of its cargo, which we learned amounted to something over three hundred tons. Our ship was unusually large. It was something over 280 feet long and iron clad; thus we could feel nothing but safety and security. We saw the ship was having an unusual struggle, even under the guidance of the experienced pilot, in getting along side. After three hours' steering, backing, pushing forward and sidewise, they began to throw the great wire cables and large dock cables around the iron posts of the ship and we made ready to descend the ladder to the dock. Just at this moment a swell unusually terrific came and the great wire cables began breaking and the iron on the ship gave way, and the captain gave orders to cut loose. Seeing it was impossible to land, we called out to some of the dock hands and asked unem money knew a gentleman whose name was Rev. Mr. Forde. One man yelled out he knew him, for he was his countryman. Seeing the ship was backing out from the wharf, we wrapped one of our calling cards in a handkerchief, together with a piece of stone coal, but were told by the purser we could not reach the shore from there. But we made a desperate effort, and to our delight the pocket handkerchief reached the dock. The man grabbed it, waved both the handkerchief and the card, and pointed [Name] towards the city. We knew by this Dr. Forde would get our card, but did not know whether or not we would ever get to see him. Backing out again into the bay, the ship dropped anchor. We asked the captain if we might be allowed to take the risk of attempting to go ashore in a lifeboat. He said he would give us an answer by twelve o'clock, or in the afternoon. In the afternoon one of the passenger ships attempted to land its passengers and they had two or three serious accidents, one of which resulted in death. When this accident had happened and one of our sailors had fallen overboard, the captain gave orders that no lifeboats be lowered with passengers and that passengers stay within prescribed limits. Being used to obeying orders and knowing that orders cannot be given by persons who cannot obey orders, we made ourselves perfectly happy and walked the deck, never crossing a forbidden line. We spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday perfectly happy, only now and then wishing that we could cable to the loved ones at home and tell them how well we were enjoying life. We were exiled in sight of a great city and could see hundreds, if not thousands, of deck hands parading the streets and dock. We could see the trains rushing to and fro BY DR. R. H. BOYD. D. D., LL. D. CHAPTER VI. sizing that a young woman could be a useful missionary in her own home, the school and church now, and that no one should be idle. Mrs. Kenney has superintended the work. Miss Bushnell, of Sunshine Home, has been most helpful in giving lectures on missions, conducted the first round table of the year, an art, showing many copies of masterpieces, and for several weeks taught a class on "The Uplift of China." Miss Eaton has kindly lectured, has a large class in nature study. The study of birds, accompanied by morn- REV. WM. FORDE, Apartado 204 Port Limon, Costa Rica, C. A. and could hear the whistles and many other amazing things, but still we were exiled. Thursday morning, at eight o'clock, the captain informed us that another effort would be made to go along side, but warned all passengers that the greatest precaution must be used. The old pilot who came aboard informed us that for twelve years he had been docking ships at the wharf, but had never seen just such disturbed waters as there seemed to be at this time. We promised to obey orders and the ship made another effort to get along side. This time they succeeded in bringing the ship in reach of the wharf, but were compelled to stay it with double anchors. Such passengers as desired to land had to climb down a ladder, more than thirty feet long, extended over the water from the top of the ship to the platform on the wharf. When this ladder was extended the first person to ascend it was a young man, apparently about thirty years of age and nimble of steps, who seemed to be a regular sailor. Some one cried out that a man was ascending the ladder, and we beheld the face we had met in London six years before. We cried out, "Rev. Forde." He cried out, "Dr. Boyd." The first thing he informed us of was that he and a number of his members made up a part of the crowd that had paraded the dock each day, watching our ship and hoping for our landing. The captain informed us that the ship would be at least twenty-four hours discharging its cargo. We turned our room number 13 with all of our baggage over to the chief steward, and for the first time tried our hand on descending an extended ship ladder. The water made our head swim, but the determination to reach the shore and put our feet on Costa Rican soil was so great that we ran down the ladder like a sailor. Our hand-grip was lowered by a line. Dr. Forde grabbed hold of it, got us by the arm and made a bee-line across the wharf, through the dock houses and out to land. But here at the gates we were stopped. Dr. Forde jabbered something in one way to one man, then something else to another man. He left our grip with the man with whom he had talked Spanish, had another to lead out towards another building to whom he spoke French and to us he talked English. Then we soliloquized, "What manner of man. He seems to be able to communicate with the whole universe at one time." He then informed us that he was going to obtain a permit, or land pass. He walked up the steps of another office and here confronted us a man, neither white nor black, with whom Dr. Forde held a conversation in Spanish, who asked us to present our letters of introduction, which we did. This man, neither white nor black, called a young white clerk, who, we presumed, must have been American or English. He read our letters and translated them into Spanish and the gentleman gave us an important piece of paper, shook our hands and told us we would need it when we went back to go through the gates. We found he was correct. Then we made a bee line to find a cable office, but found that Port Limon had no cable and must depend upon wireless. We then looked every place to find a Western Union code. Being informed that there was none in the city, we found an A. B. C. code. We wrote out the following cablegram: "Baptist, Nashville, Tenn., Adolezco Sabuga." This we offered to the wireless people and asked them if the message could be delivered. They said yes. We asked the price and were told that by putting Tennessee in brackets they could deliver the message for nine "colonies," which means nine Costa Rican dollars, or nine dollars in silver. He said it would cost four dollars in gold. We had learned the use of gold by this time and we found that messages were one dollar per word, hence we handed the man a five dollar gold piece. He handed us two silver "colonies," which seemed to be considerably larger than our silver dollars. Making a polite bow to the gentleman and saying, "mucha gracios senior," we made a dash with Dr. Forde to his home. Reaching the parsonage, or what they called the "mission house," we found a beautiful two-story, eight-room house. But when told by Dr. Forde that he had no family, we were a little surprised and wondered what he did with all this house. He said to us he might do as Rev. Thourbourne had done, visit the States and persuade some American lady to accompany him back to Central America. We told him that we thought he had a head like a tack, if this was his intention. ing walks, has been such a pleasure and benefit to the young people. MRS. Young has charge of the sewing, and Mrs. Jordan the millinery. Large classes that have done most excellent work will be graduated from both of these departments. The Fairfield Baptist Church and Sunday-School on last Sunday was full of spiritual fervor. In the recent revival forty-six were added to the church, thirty-five of these being converts. Twenty-eight of the converts were baptized Sunday at the river by the pastor, Rev. B. J. Majors. Revs. Black and Taylor were also baptizing at the river and for a time one was reminded of the day of Pentecost. When Revs Black and Taylor had finished their candidates, they assisted Rev. Majors and all returned to their homes feeling better for having been present. Sunday night the hand of Christian fellowship was given and communion administered to the newly baptized converts In a short time, persons began to pour in to meet us. Before we got through with our shower bath, for shower baths are all the go in this country, the clerk of the church and some of the officers had come in to meet us, and the lady directly notified Dr. Forde that his breakfast was ready. Of course, we repeated breakfast. We said, "Why, doctor, you mean dinner." He said that we could call it what we would, but they had coffee in the morning and breakfast at this time. We went down to the dining-room and here we found a regular Costa Rican breakfast. We had fruits of all descriptions, cocoa, coffee, eggs, bread and many other diets which have Spanish names that we cannot recall. But we attempted to do justice to the breakfast. Dr. Forde then began to drill us around the city. We said that we were there to see, and, therefore, would pay the hack bills. He gave us a significant laugh and a shrug of the shoulders and asked us if we knew where we were. We told him that the captain told us it was Port Limon. Rev. Forde said that that was true and he pointed to a large church and asked if we knew what it was. We told him it looked like a church. He told us that it was a Baptist church, that the song books, Bible and Sunday-school periodicals were sent regularly from the National Baptist Publishing Board that were used in that building, and it would be a violation of Baptists laws for the secretary of that Board to come to Costa Rica and spend money for seeing the country; that if we had any surplus missionary money to just tie it up in a sack and carry it back to that ship with us; that the bills were to be paid by him and his. We said that the Lord must be in that land. The Doctor asked us to tell him when we became exhausted with heat. We said to him that he would break down and fall asleep before we did, that we were drunk on curiosity and intoxicated with pleasure, to such an extent that we could neither sleep nor get tired. From that time until six o'clock we scarcely sat down five minutes. We walked to and fro and rode up and down, but when we would get to the suburbs we noticed that the victorias would stop. We asked the Doctor what it meant. He said it was the end of the road. He then informed us that Costa Rica had no roads. After leaving the city limits there were trails where only one horse, or animal, or one person could walk, one after the other, in Indian style. After dining, he carried us again to call on certain gentlemen of business standing. We went to the home of a Mr. Beckett, whose family had been considerable readers of our papers and magazines from the States, but who were members of the Episcopal Church. Here they sat tea again and we had green tea with the hostess, after which we returned to the church to the Christian Endeavor. The pastor apologized and said that if it could have been announced we would be there the church building would have been filled. We had an occasion to measure the church inside. It was 69 feet long and 49 feet wide. We asked Dr. Forde if this auitorium was ever filled. He said it was on every Sunday night and on all important occasions, he could not find standing room for his congregation. We asked him if the Spanish natives attended his church. He informed us they did not. We asked him if the white Americans, who seemed to be so numerous there, attended church and if there were any Baptists among them. He said there were possibly one or two persons who claimed they were either Baptists or their people were Baptists in the States, but they were never seen at church. He said that there was not a white American or English Baptist in the city and possibly not in the Republic. We found that Pastor rorde had his people well drilled. We talked to the young people as best we could and had a good service. We found them great lovers of music. Early Friday morning we were up, caught the five o'clock train and saw some of the country, the banana, cocoanut and coffee farms. We find that the colored Baptists have churches or mission stations in Costa Rica, Port Limon, Philadelphia, Zent, Chirripo, Madre-de-Dios, Cimarrones, Matino, Guacimia, Germania, Pocora, Outstation, San Francisco Outstation, Turrialba, Changuinola East, Ghanguinola West and Hewetton. These fifteen stations have irregular services by lay-preachers, or catechizers and Pastor Forde and Pastor A. M. McDonald. These two colored pastors have the oversight of these places, with Rev. E. C. Natman of Bocas del Toro to assist them. Friday evening at six o'clock we climbed the ship again and made ready to sail. In a more proper description of the religious work in future we may have cause to more properly explain some of these points. Finis. Y. M. C. A. Father A. G. Coombs to Speak. There will be a meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association at the Scovel Street A. M. E. Church Sunday, May 12, at 4 p. m. The meeting will be addressed by Father A. G. Coombs and there is a probability of shaving the presence of Father Denby, of Memphis, to speak also. The church is located between Seventeenth and Eighteenth avenues on Scovel street, North of Fisk. All men are cordially invited. ```markdown ``` EXCURION RATES TO THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONGRESS AT TUSKEGEE.

Keeling has the pleasure of boasting over a first-class shoemaker who came to us last week. You will find him in the Taylor building, formerly occupied by Sir J. S. Maclin. The anniversary services held at the Keeling Baptist Church, of which Rev. O. S. Harwell is pastor, were a success. At 11 a. m. Rev. Smith, of Allens Station, ascended the rostrum and delivered a wonderful sermon, after which a neat collection was realized. A short recreation period was announced by the pastor, Rev. O. S. Harwell. After the expiration of 15 minutes, the church was thronged to listen to the welcome address delivered by Miss M. D. Dupree, and responded to by Sir F. T. Jones. Both addresses were brief and timely. The addresses were followed by friends of sister churches who love the cause. At 3:30 m. a short but heart-felt sermon was delivered by Rev. Holmes, of Brownville. This ends the day's session. At 8 p. m. Rev. M. Williams, of Mason, ended the program with a short sermon. We feel that every one who listened to the results of the program enjoyed it. The pastor wishes to thank the congregation for their nice behavior and undidided attention. GALEDA CLASS NO. 16 Arrangements were perfected at the regular monthly meeting of Galeda Class No. 16, which was held at the residence of Miss Mary Clark last Thursday night, for putting on the first Light drama that has been attempted in Nashville by an organized Sunday-school class.

The tariff further provides a stop- committee sent out to select a drama consisted of Maud Thorne, Misses Mary Clark and N. E. King. They submitted their report recommending "The Spinners' Convention" as a drama that would be suited to the class, which is composed now of sixty-eight young ladies. The class agreed to accept the report of the committee, and fixed the date of the drama for Thursday night, May 30th. Resolutions were also presented at the meeting on the death of one of its members, Mrs. Geo. H. Binkley. The regular Easter offering was reported together with plans for carrying as large a delegation from the class as possible to the Sunday School Congress. It is known already that five members out of the class will go to the Tuskegee meeting. The Mary Battle Polk, eight miles on the a tallyho ride to the residence of Mrs class also has under consideration Nolensville Pike. IN HONOR OF PROF. HALE IN HONOR OF PROF. HALE. Young's Hotel, on Cedar street, was the scene of a stag in honor of Prof. Hale, President of the State Agricultural and Normal College, last Friday evening. There were about fifty participants who gathered around the table to pay a high tribute to the achievement to the president of the first State school for Negroes in the history of Tennessee. The stag was given under the auspices of the Nashville Teachers' Association, under the presidency of Prof. John I. Watson, but the committee who had charge of affairs, which proved to be quite a success in spite of the inclement weather, consisted of Prof. Hardy Keith, chairman; Profs. Hardiman and Randalls. In the early part of the evening the guests gathered in the parlors of the hotel, and as they entered they were introduced to Prof. PROF. W. J. HALE. Hale. The list of guests was not confined to teachers—there were representatives from various professions and the business institutions of the city. Quite a number of out-of-town guests were present. At 9:30 these men, who had come to put their stamp of approval upon the selection made by the State Board of Education as the head of the Tennessee school, all found their seats around the long and neatly arranged table. Prof. Keith introduced the toastmaster of the evening, Dr. J. P. Crawford, Grand Chancellor of the K. of P. of Tennessee who in his happy vein gave the object of the occasion. Every one appeared to be in the height of spirits, and no time was lost. About twenty toasts were responded to—among those who spoke were Mr. B. J. Watson, General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of Atlanta, Ga.; Prof. F. G. Smith, principal of Pearl High School; Prof J. I. Watson, Prof. Randalls, Dr. R. F. Boyd, president Board of Trade; Mr. D. Wesley Crutcher, haberdasher; Prof. Berry, musical instructor Walden University; Rev. Henry A.

In every direction, both night and day, droves of young children, boys and girls, can be seen roaming the streets, and their manners in public are disgusting. Especially so in the up-town districts. Young Misses with knee dresses and boys with knee pants can be seen at all hours of the nights strolling the streets and visiting places where children have no right to go. Their parents are never seen with them, but invariably these young upstarts are their own guardians and sole regulators of their manners and the dictators of where they shall go and of what they shall do. It seems that the parents of these children are turning them out as so many young colts in a wild woods to run at large and to gather whatever the forest has in store for them. Under the disguise of clubs these young people are leading lives which are deplorable. It is conceded by all that children need recreation, but it seems that the parents in Nashville do not realize that it is their first duty to take the time to plan the kind of recreation --- 7 coaches and baggage cars will leave Nashville Tuesday night, June 4th, at 9:95 for the benefit of those living in the southeast territory.

WARNER PROPERTY We have just purchased the entire home tract of Mr. Alexander Warner, on the corner of 17th Avenue and Heiman St. We have subdivided the entire tract in to about 50 lots. Cement walks are being laid throughout the subdivision and 17th Ave. and Thompson Street have both been widened, making this one of the most attractive subdivisions near Fisk University, and we now have about 7 new houses under construction. The prices in this vicinity are advancing rapidly, and as this subdivision affords practically all of the available building lots in this section, it would be wise for those who are interested to make immediate arrangements to take a lot off the market. Those purchasing the first lots in the subdivision Will be given $50 worth of Lumber out of the stables and slaughter houses, that are now situated on the property.

The horsehide went over left field fence, sailing with three men on bases. Everybody was on their feet. The people were in an uproar. The first games played in the new park were all won by Linden T. A. Catron is a first baseman and knows the game. We are proud of him, and at all times while he is manager the team wins. Final score of the last game, 12 to 3 in favor of Linden.
