BISHOP TYREE'S CONFERENCE
HAS A BRILLIANT BEGINNING.
Delivers Response to Mayor's Welcome.
Pays High Tribute to Ministers— Their Loyalty Unexcelled—Remembers His Feeble Mother Building a Race — Fifty Years' Accomplishments Recounted — Great Has Been the Accomplish-
Special to the Globe.
Chester, Pa., June 13.—A brilliant opening of the ninety-sixth session of their historic old conference of the A. M. E. Church occurred yesterday at Murphy Church. Bishop Tyree, of Nashville, e. Tenn., opened the meeting with dignity and grace and expressed himself as having no patience with jealousies, bickerings and childishness among men, and declared peace and good will toward all as the policy of the administration upon which he now enters.
Bishop William H. Heard, of South Africa, rendered valuable assistance as an associate to Bishop Tyree and is beloved in the Philadelphia conference, of which he was once a member. Bishop Tyree at the morning session dwelt upon the significance of the centennial of African Methodism in 1916, over which he will preside, and counseled the ministers to make it an occasion worthy of the name of all Methodism. During the day he paid a high compliment to his aged mother now living at his home in Nashville, and to whom he owes much of his strength and stability both of character and purpose.
At the night service at which the conference was welcomed to the city, Bishop Tyree in response to the words of welcome by the Mayor and citizens, among others things said:
"It seems to me it is well" for us, my brethren, to be here and to see these sincere and earnest faces, and as earnest and sincere hearts, extending to these servants of God their warm welcome—a welcome to the members of the annual conference, the Bishops and associate Bishops, these presiding elders, ministers and visiting friends.
"Among us as we assemble at this time are some of the hardest worked men and women in the country. Here are men who have made such sacrifice as you would not believe unless you actually come in contact with them. You would hardly believe that these men have left their homes for the love that they have for the ministry.
"And so this mighty work goes on. Some of these workmen break down with their burden and with age. Only tomorrow, and age and its ravages will bid us leave the stage of action for ever. We are falling from day to day and soon the angel will call us home, and we must go; and, what is saddest, not a penny to leave behind for those whom we love.
"Think of it, my friends. Not one penny for those whom we would succor; to those who have followed us in the thickest of the fight. Nothing left, by brethren, but a dying echo coming over the mountain yonder, 'by the grace of God I'll meet you on Canaan's blissful shore.'
"So, my friends, when you spread these functions before us, it is not for what they mean for the gratification of our appetites but they cheer our poor, weary souls; they are to us an Oasis spread in the desert—and And we stoop to the spring and quaff to the relief of our thirst, and we rise again, and take a firmer grip on our knapsacks and fattered umbrella and turn our backs upon the storm once more and say, Where he leads me I will follow? (Great aplause.)"
"Ah, my friends, these are God almighty's watchmen upon the earth. They have come to awaken a slumbering people and to everywhere cry Arise, shine, for the light hath come and the glory of the Lord has risen non thee."
"As such we accept your welcome, and will endear you to honor your names, and, honored Sir, conduct ourselves in such a manner that when we shall have gone out from your doors and you shall turn the latch if your gates on our departure you may be able to say, 'surely these are men of God.'
"Why the whole world will rise up
as the black phalanx marched on to
tory. (Applause.)
"Some years ago Jenny Lind sang
a Cast's Garden, New York, and the
people of this nation took o: their
ats and sang her praises.
"But, my friends, I ask in God's
ame tonight, to give us time, and
here say if they will only let us
through, take down the curtain and
live us time and opportunity we will
now a voice that will sing a song
hat Jenny Lind has yet to learn.

IS VERDICT AS TO THE DEATH OF CLARK
Body Placed in Evidence Shows Num erous Serious Bruises and Contusions—Two Might Have Caused Death—Doctors Practically Agree on All Points—Grand Jury May Investigate Treatment of Workhouse
That John Clark, colored, met death by violence from the hands of some person or persons unknown while confined in the Davidson County workhouse and while he was at hard labor, was the verdict of the jury summoned by Coroner T. L. Herrin to investigate the death of the workhouse prisoner, whose case has attracted the attention of Gov. Ben W. Hooper and the State Board of Charities to the conduct of the Davidson County workhouse. A thorough investigation by the Grand Jury was recommended. This verdict was reached after an examination of witnesses who testified to seeing Clark beaten twice on the afternoon of his death, and an examination of the body which disclosed numerous scars and bruises, at least two of which might have caused death, according to the testimony of physicians. J. H. Turner, representing the investigating committee of the State Board of Charities, attended the investigation.
That John Clark, colored, the county workhouse prisoner, whose death on the second day of his confinement has directed the attention of Governor Ben W. Hooper and the State Board of Charities to the management of the Davidson County workhouse, was twice beaten on the afternoon of his death, and was knocked down, kicked and otherwise mistreated, was Herrin to of shdrlin cwmyp shrshrd the testimony before the jury summoned by Coroner T. L. Herrin to inquire into the cause of his death this morning.
J. H. Turner, representing the committee of the State Board of Charities, appointed to investigate the matter, was present at the investigation, and had a stenographer there to take all the testimony in the case. The evidence will probably be embodied in the report to be made to the Governor.
John Clark's body was in evidence before the jury, and the mass of bruises, contusions and abrasions were pointed out and explained to them by Drs. C. C. Sullivan and R. F. Boyd, who examined the body on Thursday, the day that the young man died, and Dr. F. D. Bradford, a young colored physician, who also examined the body.
Two witnesses, both of them colored women, living right at the rock quarry at which Clark was working on the only day that he worked at the camp, testified to the beating, kicking and mistreatment which caused the bruises.
Sensational Evidence.
The testimony of these women, borne out as it was by the marks on the body, formed the most sensational portion of the evidence presented to the Coroner's jury.
Temple Kirk, who lives within sixty feet of the quarry, stated that her attention was first called to Clark on Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock, when she saw Guard Jackson, one of the men in charge of the quarry gang, beating him with a stick.
"Clark was working on top of the rock pile, catching rock," she said. "They had a line of men passing the rock up from the quarry, and he was the last man and had to throw the rock back on the pile. About 3 o'clock I saw Mr. Jackson, a guard, whipping him, with a big hickory stick. He was using the stick with both hands, hitting him as hard as he could, and knocked him down. I saw the boy trying to get up and saying he was willing to work, and heard the guard cursing him. From what he said I thought he was whipping him because he didn't catch the rock fast enough.
"After he knocked the boy down, he kept on beating him with the stick, and kicked him. He ordered the other prisoners to keep on passing the rock, telling them to 'throw it onto him.' He made them throw the rock on him while he was down, and hit him with the stick, too. He hit him about a dozen times.
"After that beating he looked and acted like he was added or kind of crazy. About 4 o'clock they beat him again, and knocked him down. Mr.

BIG GATHERING OF MEN OUT
BIG GATHERING OF MEN OUT
Dr. Ellington, 'in his discourse last Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. meeting, did not fail in clearly making known his attitude toward this or any movement operated for social betterment. His message was instructive and inspiring. During the entire lecture there was no sound heard except that of the speaker' voice. The lecture was pregnant with meaning, powerful in directness and intensely practical. The relation that the leaders of the community should sustain toward the various movements for social betterment was set forth by the speaker in unmistakable terms. The rines of thought as advanced by Dr. Ellington cannot fail in resulting in great good to the young men of Nashville. Men in the shops and on the curbstones are heard discussing the lecture which was given at the Y. M. C. A. meeting last Sunday afternoon.
At the meeting to be held next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, Mr. V. T. Grizzard, State Secretary of Y. M. C. A. of Tennessee, will deliver an able address to men at the Majestic Theatre. Men are cordially invited to be present. Prof. J. W. Work will direct the music.
MR. JOHNSON STOPS SHOW
DOWNS CURTAINS IN THE MIDST OF ACT
Object Vulgar Jokes on the Stage.
Orders Actor to Cease Vulgarity in Majestic Theatre—Says House Was Established for Decent People—Considers the Welfare of Other Men's Families as he does His Own—Courageous Stand Taken for Decency.
On Thursday night of last week, in the midst of the performance at the Majestic Theatre, Mr. A. N. Johnson, proprietor of the building, walked up in front of the stage and demanded that one of the actors stop. The performer asked that he be allowed to finish, but Mr. Johnson insisted that he stop right then and there. The cause of this drastic action on the part of the owner of the Majestic was the character of the jokes being related by a performer. It is said by several who were present that the jokes were the most vulgar ever heard in a first-class theatre, and the equal of the vulgarity heard in the lowest dives. The men who have the lease on the building agreed with Mr. Johnson that the character of the jokes was such as could not be tolerated in any show, and they were in accord with the action taken.
Mr. Johnson, when seen by a Globe reporter, said that he built the Majestic Theatre for the people of Nashville, and it was his aim to have it conducted in a way which would make any man feel safe in carrying his family there; and he felt that it was his duty to conduct the house on a high plane, and that rather than have such vulgar shows as the one that was on there last week he would close up the place.
The people are high in their praise of the stand taken by Mr. Johnson, and they are determined to back him up in it; and to the credit of the leases of the building, it must be said that they are as much opposed to low class shows as anyone, and have expressed their determination to heappear see to it that nothing but the highest class actors are engaged. The people who were present on the occasion mentioned above applauded the stand taken by Mr. Johnson again and again, for just at the time he demanded that the vulgarity cease every lady in the house was blushing with shame, and some were fixing to leave the building, for their modesty was shocked beyond expression and they were greatly humiliated; but when they were made to know that the proprietor of the house was determined that they should be protected, every one felt at ease, and after the performer had apologized the show was allowed to proceed; but Mr. Johnson made it clear that he would not under any circumstances allow such vulgar shows in the Majestic Theatre.

NEW SANITARIUM IN PYTHIAN
TEMPLE
An important step is being taken on the part of the management of the Rock City Sanitarium in the establishment of Bath and Treatment Rooms in the Pythian Temple, corner of Fifth and Capitol avenues. This will supply a long-felt need on the part of the many friends and patrons of this institution, many of whom are business men and who are not permitted to go to the Sanitarium in East Nashville as often as they wish for treatment, from lack of time. Two rooms have been secured on the first floor in the Pythian Temple and, are being neatly fitted up for the purpose of giving various lines of Battle Creek Treatments to ladies and gentlemen, and will be ready for business about Monday, June 24. The ladies' department will be in charge of Miss Myrtle Toles, and the gentlemen's in charge of Mr. R. D. Isbell, both trained nurses. Drs. D. E. and Lottie Isbell Blake will have their offices in the same building and will supervise the treatment rooms. An order has been placed with a firm in Chicago for various lines of electrical appliances, including the electric Sitz Chair for the treatment of diseases of women, Galvanic, Faradic and Sinusoidal batteries for both local and general treatments, and the Cologne Vibrator for nervous derangement.
ROGER WILLIAMS CAMPAIGN
NOW ON IN EARNEST COMMITTEE Appointed By Ministers Active.
Prof. Jackson Presents Report— Shows that the People are Responsive to the Appeal—Dr. Moses to Fire Opening Gun Sunday— Meetings Will be He'd at All the Baptist Churches in City—Outlook Bright.
Thursday, June 27, at 8 p. m. at Sylvan Street Baptist Church, Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor.
Friday, June 28, at 8 p. m. at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, Rev. Wilson, pastor.
Sunday, June 30, at 11 a. m. at Nebo Baptist Church, J. W. Dickerson, pastor.

Sunday, June 30, at 8 p. m. at First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Rev. J. D. Bush, pastor.
Interest ran high and the program was adopted unanimously. At any or all of these meetings every citizen is asked to attend to aid in this great and worthy cause. Dr. W. H. Moses, of Knoxville, will be the speaker of the hour at all of these meetings, of course, assisted by the ministers and their congregations, as well as by some of our leading business and professional men of the city. Meantime the days will be spent making personal canvasses throughout the city in the matter of donations and subscriptions in order that every loyal citizen of Nashville may have an opportunity to go on record for this great cause. A special committee has been appointed to assist the Rev. Moses in this particular as follows: Rev. Wm. Haynes, chairman; Rev. W. S. Ellington, Prof. A. M. Jackman, Revs. J. C. Fields and J. W. Dickerson. In the midst of all this dense atmosphere of enthusiasm and interest, Rev. J. W. Butler, of Murfreesboro, former student of Roger Williams, arose and pledged his subscription of $10 to be paid during the campaign. The Conference was very anxious to hold these meetings in every church in Nashville, but owing to the shortness of the stay of the Rev. Moses, rendered it impossible. All will be called upon who are interested in the great cause of Christian education, both colored and white, to assist in this laudable effort to raise funds for Roger Williams University.

FIRST SESSION SUMMER SCHOOL
OPENED AT STATE NORMAL WEDNESDAY.
Many Teachers And Visitors Present.
Exercises Held in Auditorium of Main Building—Splendid Program Carried Out—Room Profusely Decorated—Leading Educators and Citizens Made Talks—Chattanooga Much in Evidence—Program for the the Session.
The first session of the summer school of the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School opened Wednesday in the main building of the college. The meeting was called to order by President W. J. Hale. Singing and devotion were next in order, after which President Hale made a few remarks, outlining the purpose of the school. He reviewed the history of the institution which, though short, was interesting. He told of the struggle to secure the passage of the bill creating state normal schools, and of how the fight was made between the citizens of the various sections for the schools. Several prominent speakers were present and made short addresses. The meetings are being held in the main building. The platform on Wednesday was profusely decorated with flowers. Chattanooga was much in evidence, having come over the mountain to the number of eighty or more to cheer their son on to success.
The chief aim of the summer school is to strengthen the teachers as useful and helpful members of the community in which they live and work. To accomplish this purpose there is offered a superior faculty of trained men and women, specialists in educational work, and deeply interested in the teachers and schools of the state; some of the instructors have made a special study of methods of community improvement work, including the matter of improving school houses, school gardens, lengthening the school terms, organizing corn clubs, tomato clubs, school improvement leagues, mother's clubs, etc.
During the Summer Term there will be daily recitations, five recitations a week, in each course of three weeks; hence the satisfactory completion of the regular course will entitle the student to credit, which will go toward his receiving a State Normal Diploma.
The Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial Normal School for colored people is located on one of the most desirable sites around Nashville, amid healthy surroundings and easily reached from any part of the city. The campus is on high ground, commanding magnificent views. The buildings are of brick, with stone trimmings, substantial in structure, heated by steam, lighted by electricity and supplied with other modern conveniences. The whole plant, including campus, five buildings, farm and equipment, covers one hundred sixty-five acres, and represents an estimated valuation of nearly two hundred thousand dollars, which the state is investing for the education of its colored young men and women. The regular session of the school will open in September, 1912.

THE workmen are busy engaged getting out stone for the foundation or the new building for the girls' dormitory of Turner Normal College. Work on laying the foundation will commence in a few days. The building committee meets this week for the purpose of letting the contract for the brick and wood work of the building. Mrs. J. A. Jones went down to Nashville last week on a business trip. She is to remain several days. The grand rally at Woodford Chapel A. M. E. Church last Sunday was a success. The sum of 140.89 was collected by the close of the meeting Sunday night. Rev. G. R. Norman, the pastor, seemed highly lifted up at the result. Dr. J. A. Jones preached at the A. M. E. Church for the rally Sunday morning, and Rev. Raleigh A. Scott, of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, preached at 3 o'cock. Rev. R. A. Scott's Academy of Music gave the musical concert last Monday night at the auditorium. Large number of white citizens were present. They outnumbered the colored about 2 to 1. The school consists of persons of all ages, ranging from childREN, eight years old to men and women, whose ages range from 25 to 65. Hon. W. H. Goeling acted as master of ceremonies at the concert. Dr. Parris, the new dentist in town, is growing more and more popular, and is making a fine record in his profession. The County Teachers' Institute closes this week after a very successful two weeks' session. President W. J. Hale, of the State Normal School was in town last week, and delivered a fine lecture at the A. M. E. Church. Many of the best citizens of the town, as well as the majority of the county teachers, were present. Music was furnished for the occasion by a specially selected musical club. The announcement of two colored fairs holding at the same date in September, is creating some considerable stir among the people. Many counter opinions are expressed as to the advisability of doing such a thing.

Mr. Johnson's Stand.
The stand taken by Mr. A. N. Johnson at the Majestic Theater a few nights ago was a brave and courageous one. The Negro people of the world are struggling. In this country, less than fifty years removed from slavery, and confronted with every kind of obstacle, they are striving to move upward in the scale of civilization. There are many things to contend with, and one of the things that is doing much to discourage and humiliate those who are struggling upward is the uneducated and unappreciative Negro on the stage.
There was a time when the Irishman was the burlesque of this country; but the Irishman himself was never known to speak disparagingly of his women. It is a set fact that Negroes too often reflect on their women in their jokes in the theater; and it was just this thing that Mr Johnson took exception to.
It was courageous from more points of view than one. When it is remembered that this man has spent thousands of dollars fitting up a theater, and that he has not yet realized anything like a decent percent. on the investment; and when he stands up in the face of all this and demands that the people who are showing in his theater maintain themselves decently and that they conduct their shows in a respectable way; and when it is remembered that he did this in face of the fact that the building was leased to another man and that he was placing himself liable to a law suit, one gets a faint idea of the courageousness of the act.
Clark Killing
The County Authorities are taking a forward step in the efforts being put forth to investigate the killing of John Clark on the county road. A prisoner is helpless, and because he is in such a condition is more reason why he should be treated sympathetically rather than abused. After being sentenced in the court he is sent to the prison to atone for his wrong. It is the opinion of the court that the confinement and hard labor are sufficient punishment for the offense committed, and there is no just reason why that punishment should be added to by cruel and inhuman treatment.
It is pleasing to see the interest being taken in the case. It shows that the spirit of justice is growing in this community, and that the higher intelligence is taking good root. The man who will abuse a prisoner is not the man to have him in charge, and it is hoped that this matter will be thoroughly investigated that those men who are incompetent to hold such positions may be gotten rid of.

The Twelfth Avenue Theatre has one of the strongest attractions that has been seen here in many a day. You will have to go out and witness the performances to appreciate its greatness. It would be a waste of time to particularize as every act is a distinct feature. There is something doing all the time from the rise to the 'fall' of the curtain. The od plantation melodies are simply great. The sweet toned singer reaches from the lowest to the highest note seemingly without an effort.
The costumes are a lovely creation of a master mind, new and of the latest fashions.
Every performance is a star. If you go you will say, "Let those laugh who never laughed before, and those who do laugh, now laugh the more."
As a promoter of rising abilities the Twelfth Avenue Theatre is there every time.
The show is clean, nothing but the latest acts are programmed. The music is just superb, taken all in all the Twelfth Avenue Theatre is giving "some show, I tell you."
Go out and enjoy yourself.

CLARK INVESTIGATION.

Jackson hit him about twelve or fifteen times that time.
"About 5 o'clock he ran down off the rock pile, towards the guards. He ran down into the hole. A few minutes later I saw four other prisoners bring him out of the hole. He tried to walk, but couldn't, and they laid him down under a backberry tree for a while before they carried him off to the camp. He looked dead and limber then."
Witness was asked if they beat prisoners often. "Yes, they whip some of them every day," she answered. "There are sometimes five guards at the quarry, and sometimes three, and all of them whip. They use anything they can get their hands on. They whipped Clark worse than anybody I've seen though. After they

Rosa Buford, whose house is across a narrow lane from the quarry, did not see the whipping of Clark, but did see the prisoners bring him out of the quarry about 5 o'clock. "They stood him up and started him home, with two prisoners holding him up," she said, "but he was trembling and couldn't stand up. The guard, a big heavyset man that they called Mr Jackson, kicked him four or five times and shoved his head back, saying: 'Stand up there, nigger.'
Thought He Was Dead.
"They carried him on and stopped before my door, where they laid him down under a hackberry tree. One of the Negroes with them told the guard, not Jackson this time, that he believed he was dead. 'Hell, no, that nigger ain't dead,' the guard said.
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1912
'Leave him loose and go away from here and you would have to run him down to catch him.' After a while they carried him to the wagon and took him back to the camp."
Ed Kirk, husband of Temple Kirk, who works on the Lewisburg & Northern, substantiated the testimony of his wife. When he came home about 5 o'clock his wife pointed out Clark to him. He was then acting crazy, like he didn't know what he was doing, said Kirk. He was catching at rocks in a hurry and missing them.

Examined the Body
Four doctors were placed on the stand before the Coroner's Jury. The first two, Dr. R. F. Boyd, a leading colored physician, and Dr. F. D. Bradford, a younger man, examined the body on Thursday afternoon, when it was in a good state of preservation, and before embalming. Clark had died at 1 o'clock that morning. He was naturally a light brown in color, but the embalming fluid has since turned him black. At the time the examination was made, however, the marks and bruises were more plainly visible than they are now, although they can still be seen clearly. Dr. Boyd testified that there were five or six bruises and contusions on the body, any one of which, separately, or all together, might have caused death, especially in one in a weakened condition. On the statement of facts shown Clark was in such a condition.
Bruises Described.
The bruises described by him were as follows:
On the right side, toward the rear,
just below the kidney, a large bruise
four inches long.
Between sixth and seventh ribs, on
right side, a bruise six inches long.
Just above this, another similar
bruise.
Contusion along the left temple
bone, stretching from the ear to the
cheek bone. There was a similar con-
tusion on the right side, and two on
the forehead just below the hair line.
Very severe bruises on the point of
the left shoulder.
Enlarged gland in left groin, which
might have been caused by a kick or
a specific disease. There was other
evidence of this disease.
Bruise over the appendix, which
looked as if it might have been
caused by a kick.
At least thirty welts across the back, which had the appearance of having been made with a switch or whip.
Numerous punctures of the skin of hands and arms, probably caused by rocks striking them.
Dr. Bradford substantiated Dr. Boyd's testimony in every detail, and added that the eyes were bloodshot. This, he stated, might have been caused by the blows on the head.
Dr. C. C. Sullivan, after making a very careful examination of every mark on the body, and making incisions to determine the depth and extent of the more important, gave it as his opinion that at least two of the contusions, one on the right temple and one on the back of the neck near the base of the brain, might have caused death. The contusion on the temple extended almost to the bone, while the one on the neck reached more than half way down to the bony structure.
Dr. J. R. Tarpley, who treated Clark at the camp, stated that he worked that night under very unfavorable conditions, in a bunk car dimly lighted by a lantern, and that he made no examination for bruises. His treatment was directed towards alleviating his suffering. When he saw him about 8 o'cock on Wednesday night his respiration was very rapid and labored.
Clark's clothes were put in evidence, and large blood stains found on the shirt that he wore at the workhouse. The largest, which covered an area of six by nine inches, was on the collar and the upper part of the back of the shirt. There were other stains at a point over-the left hip and in the middle of the back.
In Good Health.
Will Snead, brother-in-law of the dead man, testified that none of the marks found upon his brother were upon him when he went into the workhouse, so far as he knew, and that apparently he was in good health and spirits on the day before he was taken out.
Frank Graham, Assistant Superintendent of the Workhouse, who took Clark out on Tuesday, June 11, stated that so far as he could observe at that time he was in good health.
Mr. Turner, the representative of the Charities Board Committee, took an active part in the investigation, asking a number of questions. He stated that the investigation was directed toward the particular case of John Clark, but that when Dr. Lewinthat and Mr. Cole, the other members of the committee, were in a position to do so, the general conduct of the workhouse would be looked into thoroughly. Mr. Cole is out of town today and Dr. Lewinthal was not able to be present, as it is the Jewish Sabbath.
R. L. Kennedy, representing the family of the dead man, was also present and aided in the investigation.
The jury which heard the case are: R. T. Carter, Jr., John Wells, J. S. Walden, Winfrey and J. B. Robertson. The inquest was held in the under-taking establishment of McGavock & Co.

Tay'or, the proprietor of the park, decided to convert the old skating rink into a woman's building. In addition to this a penny arcade, a new feature in which there are installed sixty-three scenic machines completes the most important list of improvements. Since last week the park has been opened in full blast—thousands of people from the city have already visited the South's most famous city park. The management contemplates further improvements as the season grows o'der and the crowd increases, in order that more pleasure and a greater pastime will be
Hohenwald, Tenn., June 19. The Colored Institute of this place held June 10th, by Prof. S. M. Totty, assisted by Mrs. S. M. Totty, was a prefect success, opening with several teachers from Hiekman, Wayne, Maunry and Lewis counties. Among those who made the highest marks were Miss Bettie Dolison, of Walden University, and Miss Landoine Hall, of Shelbyville school. Monday afternoon we had some encouraging remarks from our county superintendent, Prof. White. The superintendent was so enthused with the instruction that he invited instructors and teachers to open Thursday morning in the public high school of the whites. The examination was held in the white school. All were interested in the work and an entertainment was given for the purpose of paying the expenses of the instructors, under the auspices of the pastor, Rev. J. W. Thompson.
NATIONAL • NEGRO BUSINESS
LEAGUE.
The thirteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Chicago, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21st, 22nd and 23rd. The local Negro Business League of Chicago has secured the Seventh Regiment Armory for the sessions.
Delegates intending to be present should, as early as practicable, notify W. D. Neighbors, Secretary Chicago Negro Business League, 3517 State street, Chicago, of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be reserved.
Last year, nearly every state in the Union was represented at the annual meeting held in Little Rock. Officers of the organization are now earnest at work to secure at Chicago an even larger gathering. The Little Rock meeting set a high standard in point of attendance, attractiveness of program and hospitality of its citizens, but the Chicago League is striving to have the coming meeting surpass all previous ones. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce joined with the local Negro Business League in inviting the National Organization to meet in Chicago, and is co-operating to welcome and entertain those who may attend.
Very low reduced rates will be offered from all parts of the country, and especially from the South, for the meeting. Local Leagues are urged to elect delegates at once. Experience has shown that the railroad authorities in every section of the country are willing to arrange for Special Pullman or Tourist Car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties are arranged for as early as practicable. Some of the strongest men and women of the Negro race will be present and speak at the coming meeting. These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic

Chicago, Ill., June 15.—Almost the entire official family of the National Baptist Convention is in this city today holding a meeting at the Olivet Baptist Church, corner Twenty-seventh and Dearborn streets. A call for this meeting was issued by Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., Helena, Ark., president of the National Baptist Convention. The same call has been sent out through the secretary, Prof. R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala.
The meeting was called at 12 o'clock, Dr. Morris presiding. The purpose of the meeting is to outline the five days' work of the National Baptist Convention, that is to be held at Houston, Texas, from September 11th to 16th. The idea prevailing at this meeting is to give each of the five boards operated in the Convention, a time and place on the program at Houston, as it is expected that this meeting of the Convention will eclipse all others in point of attendance and in enthusiasm. While there were a large number of Baptists in the city there was more interest in the Republican Convention proper than there appeared in the meeting of the program committee, yet the session of the committee today claimed an attendance of notables in their denomination. Many of the official's and leaders of the Baptists are to remain over this week to take part in or to be spectators at the Republican National Convention. New England and the East seem to vie with the South and West for representatives in the Windy City, however, not all of them took any part in the program committee meeting.
IMPROVEMENTS AT GREENWOOD.
IMPROVEMENTS AT GREENWOOD
Visitors to Greenwood Park Sunday afternoon who took advantage of the hot and sultry weather, that has been the order of the day for the past week, to roam the hills and to enjoy the shade of one of the coolest spots in Tennessee, saw the wonderful improvements that have been made at the park. New features and buildings, modern improvements for the pleasure seakers who go to this outing place have been added to the already well-equipped resort, making it now one of the most complete parks in the South. About twelve thousand dollars worth of improvements have been made this spring—this estimate is considered conservative by those who know the value of the improvements added. The new features seen by the park visitors and that will be taken advantage of by the summer crowds who are sure to throng this pleasure spot week one and Sundays as follows: One Titanic swing, something new, a novelty that will hold eight persons. The installing of the Titanic swing was quite an innovation, it is located on the front lawn just in front of the club house. Then there is a new electric merry-go-round situated just across the driveway from the steam merry-go-round. The addition of this gives the children a sufficient item to enable every one to get their ride and to spend pleasant evenings in this pasttime that is so popular among the little ones. Next is a roulette wheel just completed last week and is located near the large pavilion and concert hall. This wheel is the only one now being operated in Nashville, there is no doubt but that the management of Greenwood Park scored a great victory in securing this modern pleasure device for the park. The woman's building was the last addition to the park. For several years the women have been clamoring for a building that they could designate for their own on the grounds of the park, especially since the State Fair holds their sessions on the ground, hence, Mr. Preston

TO THE FARMERS OF TENNESSEE.
By Capt. T. F. Peck Commissioner of Agriculture.
Much of the time in "Talks to Farmers" we have tried to emphasize the importance of getting the soil broken deep with all the vegetable matter possible added and the soil thoroughly pulverized before planting. Where this has been done fully and the surface stirred often the moisture will be conserved and the crop will grow right on even if we do have a dry spell; to the extent that it is neglected will the crop suffer from dry weather. We have known farmers to quit plowing because of dry weather when they should have worked the surface of the soil into a dust mulch. Of course if the farmer has adhered to his old methods of breaking his ground shallow and has put his seed into the ground before the soil was pulverized, he may expect to have cloods to contend with, will lose his moisture and his crop cannot feed on the plant food in the soil. His crops will not be profitable and he can only have himself to blame
The harvest and haying season is now here and we should use every precaution to save our crops when made. We have seen splendid wheat crops practically lost after it was in the shock by letting it remain after it was ready to go either to the machine or to the barn if a thresher was not available. Anyone who travels over the country and is observant will see many tons of hay ruined after it is cut by delay in getting it protected. Such 'osses to the farmer are inexcubable in the majority of cases. Attention to detail doing the right thing at the right time in the right way, puts the balance on the right side of the farmer's ledger.
In the cultivation of corn, we should try to give the ground a thorough shallow stirring at least once every ten days. Once a week would be better. The constant stirring of the surface-soil kill the weeds and conserves the moisture in the soil.
This year much interest will be taken in politics but it should never interfere with the farmer's work, he is more directly interested in his crops, or should be, than in politics. He should be informed on policies of government, State and National, and should be able to vote intelligently for the party that advocates the policies best for a 11 the people, but when he neglects his personal interests to participate in political wrangles no matter what his political convictions, he is doing himself and his family an injustice. It is the farmer who is ever ready to take more interest in politics and other affairs outside of his business, that is allowing his farm to run down, his buildings growing dilapidated and his family wanting for the necessities of life.
The business from which we expect our support should always be given first consideration. Street corner and cross road discussions of politics has never resulted in much individual profit to the farmer who neglects his farm work to engage in them.

AMUSEMENTS.
The Majestic Theatre promises a big bill beginning Monday evening. A special invitation is extended the Normal School visitors and the public generally.
The Whitman Sisters will be the headliners, these ladies are the daughters of Mr. Albert Whitman, of Atlanta, Ga., one of the South's foremost Negroes. It is expected that the Majestic will be filled during the engagement with the culture and refinement of Nashville. The Whitmans will give to the people of the city the same acts that they played on such big time circuits as Keiths Proctor, and Poli, which are considered the most stunnend in the world.
Mr. Billy Nichos, who manages Majestic, has been with the Whitmans for 26 weeks, having just returned from a triumphal tour of California and the West. Mr. Nichos is a manager of no mean ability and promises that the shows that he will give the public will be free from adverse criticism. He has the experience and the ability to redeem every promise that he may make.
The Northern and Eastern Theatrical papers speak of him as a high-toned gentleman and a 24 carat show man. He deserves well at the hands of Nashville.

His good deeds to his fellowman cannot be recounted here, suffice to say he is "Just the same today," as he has always been joyful, equitable and business like. His place is the most luxurious owned by any Negro in the city. He caters to all that is good, frowns up on all that is dark and devious. As a husband and brother, he is par excelent.
Mr. Watkins was born and reared in Nashville, and deserves all the good things that can be bestowed up on him. He keeps a quiet and orderly place which is the meeting place of men of brains.
TO THE PRESIDING ELDERS, MINISTERS, SUNDAY-SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS, CONGREGATION AND FRIENDS OF THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION —TENNESSEE.
Greetings:
Dear Brethren:—I find it necessary for me to send you strong words in behalf of our splendid school work at Shelbyville, Tenn., which must not be allowed to languish, for want of support.
Owing to the spring floods and rains, together with the meeting of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church at Kansas City, followed by the lateness of your crops, and the embarrassment incident thereto, the monies that you have been accosted to raise for the sustenance of the school at Shelbyville has not been sent in.
For the above stated reasons, too,
we have delayed the calling of the
Trustee Board until August 34th.
At the meeting we must have five
thousand ($5,000) dollars, so as to
take care of immediate needs.
Work has already commenced on the
new building on the campus at
Shelbyville, and plans are being made
for the laying of the corner stone,
August 15th.

You have been generous, good and great in the past, but the present calls for heroic action.
Let every presiding elder, pastor, congregation and Sunday-school superintendent, for conscience's sake and for the sake of the people at large, see to is that we lay on the altar of education, not less than $5,000 by report from all presiding elders and ministers at the Board Meeting to be held at Shebryville.
I pray you in God's name to help us keep the fire burning upon the altar of education.
God bless you, is my prayer.

MR. R. L. MAYFIELD, A. B., LL. B.
By W. L. Miller.
R. L. Mayfield, the subject of this sketch, was born in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, and has been a resident and citizen of this place ever since. At a very early age his mother died and he and his father, who is now living, kept house until the boy was about eighteen years old. His father worked and the boy went to school. At a very early age he manifested an interest in books and was the leader in all of his classes at school. When he completed the course of study in the county school, which is now known as Knowles School, he entered Fisk University, and after pursuing his studies in that institution for about nine years, he graduated from the College Department with the degree of B. A. He was considered one of the best scholars in his class.
During the time he was in the county school, and for a while after

he entered Fisk University, he was a shoe-shiner on the streets in this city, and sold sulphur water from the old French Lick Sulphur Spring on Fourth avenue, near the Baseball Park.
During the spring of 1895 he took the city school examination for a position as teacher, and of the fifty or more colored applicants who took that examination, he was the only one that made the necessary mark.
NORMAL VIS
He was elected to a position in the city schools and taught, for two years,
city schools and taught for two years. At the beginning of the Tennessee Exposition in 1897, he was the Senior member of the firm of Mayfield and Hadley, who conducted the restaurant in the Negro Building for the accommodation of the members of his race that attended the exposition. The adventure was a signal success. At the close of the exposition in 1897, he entered Howard Law School, Washington, D. C., and completed the course in the spring of 1899, receiving the degree of LL. B. In September, 1899, he began the practice of law in his native city, and since that time has been actively engaged in the practice of law. Mr. Mayfield has had many cases in the highest courts of the state and speaks in glowing terms of the fairness and impartiality of the judges that compose that court and the court of Civil Appeals.
Mr. Mayfield has been reported by the Supreme Court of the State of Tennessee on two occasions. The cases will be found in the 7th and 8th, Cates.
On account of his familiarity with the highest courts of the state, in the summer of 1910 he canvassed the state in the interest of the free and untrammelled judiciary, which judges
[Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie].
MR. R. L. MAYFIELD, A. B., LL B. now comprise those of the present Court of Civil Appeals and the Supreme Court of the State.
Mr. Mayfield is a firm believer in the ultimate triumph of the right for his people in our courts. It is reported that Mr. Mayfield in deivering an address in Des Moines, Iowa, some years ago, said: "That he would just as soon intrust his rights to the de-gated legal judiciary of the South as any courts within the confines of these United States. Mr. Mayfield has commodious and well-equipped offices at 410 5 and 1.2 Cedar street, being rooms 5 and 1.2. With the library in his offices he is well prepared to man any case that may arise in legal lore. Mr. Mayfield enjoys the confidence and respect of his people and the better element of the white people. He endeavors to deport himself in a gentlymanly and respectful manner, being born and reared in the South, he knows the Southern white man and the Southern white man knows him. Mr. Mayfield has been in several legal entangements, but in the final outcome he has been successful.*
Mr. Mayfield enjoys a good practice, the same is brought about from the fact that he is devoted to his duty, and will spare no expense to vindicate the rights of his clients.
