NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. VII. TELLS SUPPORTERS HE OPPOSES BARGAIN Statement Issued from Oyster Bay No Middle Ground for the Colonel —Sees in Third Party Salvation of the Country—Neither of Old Parties Progressive —Sentiment of People Fewer Change Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 15—Formation of a distinct and independent party, and not the capture of the republican party, is the course Colonel Roosevelt laid out for him tonight. He took issue flatly with supporters who have advanced a proposal for effecting an agreement with the republican organization in some states through which under certain conditions the strength of the Roosevelt followers might be thrown behind President Taft. The colonel will have none of it. Straight-out Fight. The colonel said emphatically there would be no bargaining of this nature if he could prevent it. It is his purpose to make his fight with such supporters as are willing to assist in the formation of a genuinely new party. He was confident, however, that the stand he took would not bring about a break with those who favor the plan he vetoed. "If this plan should be put through in Pennsylvania or elsewhere, will there be a split?" he was asked. "I don't think there will be any break," he replied. Then he dictated this statement of his position: "I see that in Pennsylvania and Maryland the proposal has been made that identical Roosevelt and Taft electors shall run and the electors who are chosen cast their votes for which one, either" Mr. Taft or myself, who gets the most votes. I trust that no such plan will be adopted. I claim in every primary state where the primaries were carried for me and where electors have been nominated that as a matter of the highest obligation those men are bound to vote for me, for I am the nominee of the overwhelming majority of the rank and file of the republican party, and Mr. Taft's nomination represents nothing but the successful dishonesty of the Barnes Penrose Guggenheim machine and is not binding upon any honest Republican. "In certain of these primary states, as I understand it, there is now a contest on in the primaries to see whether my name or that of Mr. Taft shall be put on the regular ticket instead of being nominated by petition, it being the intention of the party beaten in the primary to nominate its electors by petition. This is all right and proper; but so far as I have any say in the matter, I shall not assent to any arrangement by which under any circumstances my supporters or electors supported by them shall cast their votes for Mr. Taft. "I make my appeal to all progressives no matter what their past affiliations may be who genuinely believe in progressive principles and who believe as I do that both of the old party organizations are completely under the dominion of the bosses and of special privilege and that both the Chicago and Baltimore platforms are fundamentally unprogressive and reactionary platforms, showing that it is hopeless to expect from either of the parties under present conditions any real and for-reaching progressive movement. Therefore I hope that in every state the progressives with out regard to their past party affiliations may have the chance to vote at the nolls for electors who in the electoral college will cast their votes for the national progressive candidate for President." MRS. J, H. KELLY RETURNS HOME. Mrs. J. H. Kelly, Jr., who left Nashville in May to spend the summer with relatives in Little Rock, Ark. returned home Monday night. It will be remembered that Mrs. Kelly sustained some serious injuries in a wreck on the Iron Mountain Railroad on her way to Little Rock. Being under the treatment of a doctor and having been compelled to remain in doors several weeks, having but little pleasure, she decided to return home, as soon as she was able to travel. As she is still in a very nervous condition, caused from the accident, her husband thought it wise to go for her and accompany her home. En route to Little Rock he spent several days in Memphis, Tennessee, attending the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias. Although outie nervous, Mrs. Kelly, accompanied by her husband and baby, Charles Winfrey returned home in good spirits. DR. J. P.

NEGRO CONTRACTOR TO BUILD SCHOOL—WHITE BIDDERS WITHDREW AFTER SPECIFICATIONS FROM COLORED MAN WERE OPENED. (Journal and Guide.) Greensboro, N. C., July 9.—The city commissioners yesterday awarded the contract for the erection of a four-room primarys chool building on West Lee street to L. B. Jeffries, the contract price being $4,000 and the understanding being that the work of construction shoul begin at once the building being ready for occupancy in time for the opening of the fall term. Under the terms of the contract the building is to be constructed of veneered brick having four large class rooms, principal's PROF. W. S. THOMPSON, President of Endowment. office and arrangement in basement for heating and plumbing. The contract price does not include heating and plumbing. The same contractor offered to build the primary school to be located on Simpson street at the same figure. No decision was reached by the board yesterday as to this building, the statement being made that a contract would be let for it later. The board expressed disappointment over the fact that the contractors of the city generally did not compete for the job. It was learned that many contractors declined to submit bids because plans and specifications for the building had been given Jeffries, who is a Negro contractor. Two other contractors, J. N. Hobbs and Brown Albright* did submit bids, but withdrew them when the bid of Jeffries was opened. The Jeffries bid on the single building was $3,147.88 less than that of Mr. Hobbs The above is a sketch of Mr. W. H. Allison, of 2015 Jefferson street, Nashville, who was elected Grand Trustee at the State Grand Lodge meeting of the Knights of Pythlas, held in Memphis, July 9-11, 1912. He is also C.

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JULY 19, 1912 SECRETARIAL INSTITUTE MEETING AT ARUNDEL ON-THE BAY, MD. Various Parts of Country Represented—Fundamental Facts Dealt with—Every Department of the Work Taught—Many Able Men Have Addressed the Institute — Members to Visit Washington. Specia' to the Globe. Baltimore, Md., July 15.—Perhaps there has never been a more interesting meeting from point of attendance and effective work, held by the international secretaries of the Young Men's Christian Association than that now in session at Arundel-on-the-Bay, Md. This conference of secretaries, who are here from various parts of the United States, is primarily for the purpose of getting a comprehensive view of the duty of the work and to better fit men for 'local fields by grasping the fundamental facts which greatly aids in the accomplishment of the desired result. The institute began its session here about the first of this month and will continue through to the first week of August. No time is being lost in making this one of the greatest meetings ever held in every way. First of all, the course of study in part is as follows: The History of the Work, Religious Work, Bible Study, Boy's Work, Physical Work, Social Work, and Business Manage. Every department of the work is being taught by experts, some of whom have been in the work for more than a score of years. In the next place the location is one of the most beautiful in the country for such, being situated about five miles from Annapolis on the west coast of the Chespake Bay, where those in attendance have every advantage for The above is A. W. Fite, the intrepid leader of the administration forces. He is always on the firing line. sea bathing and the sight of many large ocean steamers. Another feature that adds much and that makes this one of the best years is the out-door life (tent-life) which the men are enjoying very much. The institute has been especially blessed this year in having so many able men to speak to them on different phases of the work. Among those who have visited the institute are Prof. M. A. Hawkins, of Baltimore, Major Charles Douglas, the youngest and only living son of the late Fred Douglas, and Dr. Wm. Sheppard, who has recently returned from Africa, and who was for a long time a prisoner of the Belgian government for the disclosure of the maltreatment and robbery which was practised upon the natives of Central Africa. At the close of this session the entire gathering of men will go to Washington, D. C., where the first and only complete building at a cost of $100,000 now stands for a thorough inspection and for some work which cannot be done so well in camp. From all indications the work among the colored men is prospering as never before and greater things are expected. DISTRICT CONFERENCE Williamsport, Tenn. Ju'y 17.-The conference of the Columbia District of the African Methodist Church opened here this morning and will continue through Sunday. Rev. G. L. Jackson is holding the conference. DR. J. P. CRAW-FORD RE-ELECTED COURT CHOSE DR. R. F. BOYD AS LEADER Work of Year Successful in Every Way—Nearly 3,000 New Members Added to Both Departments—Reports Show Decided Increase as Result of Campaign—Other Nashville Men Honored. The fourteenth annual session of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. E. A. A. & A. Jurisdiction of Tennessee, and the Grand Court of Calanthe convened at Memphis, July 9th to the 12th, Inclusive. The Grand Lodge was held at the Castle Hall, 431 Beal avenue, and the Courts held their session in the church auditorium. It is conceded by all observers that this was the greatest gathering of Pythians ever held in the state. Delegates and visito a were present from all portions of Tennessee. Dr. J. P. Crawford, in calling the Grand Lodge to order, said: "We have passed through the fiery furnace, out the famiès touched us not. We have been true tenets of the Order. We have fought a good fight, and have kept the faith, and now the world applauds Tennessee Pythians." He exclaimed that the K. of P. was more than a secret Order, extending its helping hands to the needy and afflicted; standing for the elevation of the Negro race, and for law and order; believes in civil right-ousness and all that tends to make mankind better. "In the ranks of our order there may be found men of all walks of life: doctors, professors, business and laboring men." He was roundly applauded by the five hundred delegates assembled. After the appointment of the usual committees the Grand Lodge adjourned to view a most magnificent parade by the Uniform Rank and subordinate lodges. The procession was formed, immediately in front of the hall headed by a brass band and the Uniform Rank, followed by the subordinate lodges and carriages and autos, traversed the principal streets of the city amid the applause of the populous. MRS. M. A. TURNER, Secretary Court Endowment Board. Secretary Court Endowment Board Wednesday morning the Grand Chancellor read his annual address, which was replete with information regarding the status of the Order in Tennessee. He reviewed the pending Hitigation at great length, and his words were full of good cheer to the assembled Knights. He cautioned all to observe the words of old David Crockett: "This rule to all when I am dead, be sure you are right and DR. R. F. BOYD, Grand Counsellor Court of Calanthe, then go ahead." He admonished the Pythians to be true to themselves, and to their Order, and to their God. "No Order, no organization, no individual can exist without having a fear of the Supreme of all supreme chancellors, the God of the universe." To say that the Grand Chancellor completely covered the ground to the entire satisfaction of all would be a feeble expression. He minced no words, evaded nothing, came "straight down the pike," giving honor to whom honor was justly due; took no praise for the great efforts that he had made, but simply told his hearers the truth and the whole truth about everything pertaining to the Order in his every utterance. One old gray-haired brother exclaimed, "John Crawford is the soul of honor. Let us elect him right now by acclamation." The report of the Grand Medical Registrar, Dr. A. M. Townsend, was very thorough. He evinced much care and thought in its preparation. He showed conclusively that the order was on the upward trend and that 1,400 members had been initiated since the edict of the Supreme Court at Washington. The report of the Grand K. of R. & S. showed that the Order was not languishing by the wayside, and that the receipts, supplies and policies had exceeded all previous years. The report of the Grand Master of Ex., J. H. Brown, of Memphis, showed the finance in a healthy condition. Hon. B. F. Booth, Grand Attorney, read an interesting statement as to the status of the Order from a legal standpoint. He also gave account of the stewardship, showing that he had safeguarded the Order from time to time. The report of the Endowment Secretary, A. T. Hill, was the symposium of the session. It showed very conclusively that Secretary Hill was the right man in the right place. His books [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. and papers bore evidence of much care in their preparation. His report was all that could be desired. The report of the Treasurer of the Endowment Board. Knight Thos. G. Robinson, of Dyersburg, revealed that there was over thirty thousand dollars in the Endowment treasury. Fraternal greetings from the Court of Calanthe to the Knights of Pythias were conveyed by a bevy of beautiful women, led by Miss Bessie Patton, who read the message, which was couched in the most beautiful language imaginable. Her flow of words was a revelation; her diction was eloquent. Dr. Crawford responded in his usual happy vein, and said: "When the days, and the months, and the years of my life shall have been left behind me and my eyes are being closed in death, I want them to be closed by a beautiful woman, such as I see before me now." His sentiments were rapturiously applauded. The Committee on Law and Supervision held the attention of the Grand Lodge longer than any other committee. Many of their recommendations were timely, and their report in the main was adopted. The election of officers resulted as follows: J. P. Crawford, Nashville, grand chancellor; A. N. Stevens, Humboldt, grand vice-chancellor; A. M. Townsend, Nashville, grand keeper of records and seal; James H. Trimble, Jackson, grand prelate; J. H. Brown, Memphis, grand master of exchequer; John Singleton, Knoxville, grand master-at-arms; Dr. W. A. Thompson, Chattanooga, grand medical register; J. M. Easterling, Chat (Continued on Page 5) TENNESSEE'S LEAL- ING NEGRO JOURNAL ONVENTION. No. 29 STATE FEDERA- RATION WOMEN No.29 ANNUAL SESSION HELD IN MEMPHIS. Large Number of Delegates Present. President's Annual Address—Wise Recommendations — Much Interest Manifested by the Delegates—Memphis Doors Were Kept Wide Open—Drs. R. F. and A. M. Townsend Deliver Addresses. The State Federation of Colored Women's Club held its fifth annual meeting here July 11, 12, and 13th. The meeting was called to order by the State President, Mrs. N. E. Whiteman, of this city, who always presides with grace and dignity. Open roll call delegatesa answered from all parts of the state. The president, in her annual address, said: "It is the aim of the State Federation to reach all cities and owns in the state. To lift as well as climb and lend a helping hand to those who need help is our motto." An educational fund was started. The Housekeepers' Club, of Nashville, was the first to lay the foundation of the educational fund. Mrs. J. F. Lane, of Jackson, and Mrs. N. E. Whiteman gave their personal checks for the fund. The papers read were full and showed that the writers had the ability to handle the subject chosen. Dr. A. M. Townsend, of Nashville, lectured on "Women, Wine and Whist" to a crowded house. He handed his subject with ability. The reports of the department work were excellent. Mrs. Broughton, of Memphis, reported the work of the associated Charity; Mrs. J. F. Lane, of Jackson, the elected statistician, made her report. The statistics show that the George W. Hubbard Club, of Nashville, raised more money than any other club in the state last year. The Old Folks and Orphans Home, of Memphis, led in raising money this year. Dr. R. F. Boyd visited the Federation and made a forceful address of the knowledge he had of the great work and progress the colored women are doing through their clubs. He assured his strength and assistance to help in any way the ladies may see fit to call upon him. Mrs. N. E. Whiteman, president, was elected delegate to the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs which will convene at Hampton, Va., July 23. After a three days' session the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs adjourned to meet next year at Knoxville. The City Federation of Memphis is to be complimented for the way in which they entertained the State meeting. After the session closed there were several autos waiting to carry delegates over the Bluff City. After the drive they were hurried to the beautiful home of Mrs. T. S. Brown to the banquet. The president's annual address was the best she has ever delivered. The subject was "Compulsory Education in the State of Tennessee." Mrs. J. C. Napier's report on education was timely. Mrs. Napier is chairman of the educational department, and though she lives in Washington, D. C., she sent her report to show that she still clings to Tennessee and its interest. The paper read by Mrs. L. E. Brown, of Memphis, on "How Are Our Professional Women Molding Public Sentiment?" showed that the writer had the ability to master her subject. Mrs. Victoria Casey, of Saltillo, read a paper on "Mother's Interest in Children." It was listened to with great interest. This was given up to be the best meeting that has yet been held in this state. AFRICAN METHODIST DISTRICT CONFERENCE. Cedar Hill. Tem... July 18.—The Nashville District Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in session here, was called to order at Little Bethel Church at 10:30 a.m. by Presiding Elder J. Q. Johnson. The opening sermon was preached by Dr. J. T. Glimore on the subject, "The Spiritual Chandelier." His sermon was able and was well received by the conference. The communion was then administered by the presiding elder, who was assisted by Rev. James Childress and J. D. Frierson.

Sargent, daughter of Mrs. Paralee Sargent, and Lucus Hough Glmore, M. D., of Columbia, Tenn., were married here Wednesday evening, the ceremony taking place at St. John Baptist Church. Rev. B. L. Ivory officiated. For the occasion the church was most artistically decorated in vines and cut flowers. In the center just in front of the altar was a huge arch decorated in violets, with a large white bell suspended from the center. The bride, groom, of honor and best man stood immediately under the arch, while the maids and ushers formed a beautiful background, making a picture of perfect loveliness. Preceding the entrance of the bridal party, a musical programme was rendered by Misses, Mary C. McCullough, of Nashville, and Miss Nanny Mile Rhodes, of Mt. Pleasant, Tenn., both cousins of the groom. With Miss Mary C. McCullough at the organ, the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn's wedding paecled forth, prompt at 8:30, and the bridal party entered the church as follows: Miss Minnie O. Peaks, of Nashville and Mr. E. T. Johnson, of Nashville and Mr. E. T. Johnson; Miss Ida Halfacre and Maul Blair; Miss Lary L. Clark, of Nashville, and Mr. Robt. G. King, Litt's Lillian Wilkes carried flowers, which were strewn in the bride's pathway. The groom entered with the best man, Mr. Thos. E. Birdson. Then entered the bride on the arm of her maid of honor, Miss Nelle E. King, of Nashville, who is also a cousin of the groom. The bride was beautifully attired in a lovely gown of white messaline satin, and held a bridal bouquet of sweet peas and roses, with background of malden hair ferns. After the ceremony the bridal party returned to the home of the groom's parents, where a brilliant reception was held from 9 to 11 o'clock. Many valuable presents were received, among which were silver cut gass and china. By the marriage Columbia regains one of her most lovable young women, while Nashville loses one of its special favorites. She was a teacher here for three years in the city public schools. The groom is one of Columbia's best young men and the only child of Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Glmore. He's a graduate of Meharry Medical College and is a promising young physician of this place. The best wishes of Columblans, in which the Globe sincerely shares, will follow Dr. and Mrs. Glmore wherever they may make their FOR BRIDAL PARTY. Quite a swell and enjoyable evening was tendered the attendants of the recent Gilmore-Sargent wedding on last Thursday evening, at the home of Mrs. Italy K. Trotter.

Mr. Hume Sykes, of Puaski, was here last Sunday.

Church, Thursday night, July 11th, under the manger of Mrs. Lucile Nicholson. There were about twenty-six very small children who made up the little wedding party, and the way they performed their various parts was a very great improvement upon some older people who sometimes under take to carry out a real wedding Miss Middget, the bride, was none other than little Hester Lawrence and she looked and acted just as a real bride would do. Tom Thumb was played by Master James Wilks and no groom ever performed his part better on such an occasion. In deed every child played the part as signed him or her with perfection, to the delight of the large audience which was present. Master Cyrus Webster officiated as minister for the occasion, and he performed the mock ceremony with as much dignity as a priest. After the little ceremony, Dr. G. W. Porter, pastor of St. Paul, introduced his drill corps of eight --- NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JULY 19. 1912. een little girls dressed in white and carrying American flags. The little people delighted the audience with a splendid flag drill, and the whole audience went wild with applause as the little drill corps formed an arch which led them into the lecture room. The people followed the children into the lecture room, where the various lady boards of the church served refreshments to all. Much praise is due Mrs. Lucile Nicholson for her patient training of these little tots which produced such a splendid result. Dr. G. W. Porter and Mrs. Carrie L.

FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1912. Negroes in Politics. The year 1912 presents to the Negroes of this country a very complex situation from a political point of view. The old Republican party that has held out the olive leaf to the Negroes forty old years is split in twain, and seems doomed to utter defeat. Mr. Wm. Howard Taft is objectionable to a large majority of Negroes; but he has been chosen by the party that has been looked upon by the black man for many years as his only hope. The Democratic party that was until recent years looked upon by Negroes in every section of our land as the greatest enemy in the world to the black man, met in Baltimore and nominated Gov. Woodrow Wilson to lead their ticket; and while it is true there were a few Negroes participating in that convention as alternate delegates, and also that the platform of the convention did not contain certain aim not many gatetra contain a single plank bearing directly on the race question, Negroes are pondering in their minds whether or not they can support Mr. Wilson for president. The Third Party, headed by Col. Theodore Roosevelt, has called a convention to meet in Chicago on the fifth day of August to nominate a candidate for president, to run on a Progressive platform. Mr. Roosevelt is very popular with the masses of Negroes despite the Brownsville episode; but he is the leader of an Mr. Wilson became the standard-bearer of the Democratic party just at the time when a large number of Negroes had made up their minds to support the Democratic ticket, but they are afraid of Mr. Wilson. They remember too well some of his writings and utterances in the past on the great race question, and they are watching the turn of things to see if he has changed any in his attitude toward the Negro. Some claim that he has and that the Democratic party is anxious for the black man's support. It is a situation that requires sober thought. This is not a time for hasty conclusions. It is not a day for Negroes to decry the Democratic party because it is so named. It is foolish to continue as a mass to hang on to the Republican party simply because it is the party of Lincoln. It will also be unwise for the whole bunch of Negroes to jump into the new party without first considering wisely, and inquiring thoroughly into the attitude of the leaders of that party. It develops that Mr. Roosevelt is not the whole party. And so the case should be looked into. Every party should be studied, and every doctrine that is preached should be probed to the bottom; and the Negroes would act wisely to assume an absolute independent attitude and to vote for the party or the men of the party that they believe will be the fairest and squarest to all the citizens of our great country. The Rainy Season. This city has experienced a rainy season of long duration. It follows in the wake of the hard winter, and will doubtless be followed by a hot, dry sell. The doctors admit that the health of the people will be greatly affected by this weather. Of course, they are not wasting much time to publicly advise people how to keep well; for they are the physicians and make their living off of the sick people; and yet, if the people will go to the trouble and ask their physician's advice they will in most instances, and we believe in every instance, be given a cue that will greatly aid them in this critical period. Without assuming to have any knowledge of bacteriology, we advise all to invest a little money in lime and scatter it around the yard and house and keep the premises clean; keep the flies out of the house, and be careful what you eat. Cook all food well and season thoroughly. We are not afraid that many will eat too much, the price of living will take care of that end; but it is a critical period, and if a little thought and time will be given to the situation a great deal of the sickness that may otherwise follow can be averted. Dr. Crawford's Re-election. The Negro Pythians of Tennessee in their recent session at Memphis re-elected our fellow-townsman, Dr. J. P. Crawford, Grand Chancellor, which speaks more than can be said here, when it is known that for fourteen consecutive times this honor has been conferred upon him. Dr. Crawford is a thorough-going man. He is a believer in the possibilities of the race, and he has conducted the affairs of the Pythian Grand Lodge in such a way as to put it among the foremost organizations of the state. We congratulate Dr. Crawford and commend the Grand Lodge for the wisdom shown. Springs, Ark. Reckless Statement. "Lynchings occurred during the month of June in Tyler, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.; Salisbury, Md., and three in Florida, New Orleans, La., Savannah, Ga., Louisville, Ky., Des Moines, Ia., Oxford and Rocky Mount, Winston-Salem, N. C., and Beaumont, Texas." The above statement appeared as an editorial in the Waggoner, Okla., American of July 12th. We will not attempt to speak for any city mentioned except Nashville, and when it is known that the last lynching in this city happened in May, 1892, the people can judge for themselves whether or not there is a probability of any truth in any of the statement from the American. We know our sins are many, but there is no good to come from malicious false coloring of the situation. Speaking only for Nashville we want to say there is not a city in the country with the same proportion of colored and white population where the same friendliness and fairness exists as is the case here. Negro newspapers should sometimes get the facts on matter so grave as the charge made against twelve cities by the American. THE VOICE OF THE VOICE. "The standard of the 'Voice' is the Golden Rule," is the utterance of an editorial in that paper last week. Just below it, however, is an article which is about as far from the Golden Rule as July is from December. Speaking of the Negro Democrats here attending the late Democratic Convention it says that the Nebro Democrats were denied the privilege of entering the convention hall as such that they tried several doors and failed to get an entrance. This is, we believe, true and like many many other truths, more false than true. Now this may be a sort of Irish bull, but nevertheless true. The facts in the case are these. Arrangements had been made for the entrance of marching clubs, but it was understood that they were to be there at a certain time, but as our folks generally are, the cooled folks were an hour behind, and the convention had been called to order, and in consequence no marching clubs, white or black were admitted. The editorial goes on to say that after the first three days, not one of the visitors could be found in the city. Now this is out of the whole cloth, for a number of them were here and wore their badges up until the last day of the convention. Not only this but these gentlemen were liberally supplied with tickets and not only went in themselves but a number of our local citizens had the pleasure of sitting in a Democratic convention, for the first time in our lives. While it is true that nothing was said in the platform in the interest of the Negro, nothing was said against him. And if it is true that the Negro Democrats were sat upon as "The Voice" would have us believe, the convention sat down equally as hard on Senator Newlands with his anti-franchise plank. As a matter of fact, and we wish to be fair, the colored people who visited the Democratic convention were better treated than those shrid廉fwypwsh treated than were the colored people who attended the last Republican meeting at the Lyric, where they were relegated to a certain portion of the gallery set apart for them. The Republicans "Jim Crowed" us while the Democrats allowed us to sit where we pleased. We have nothing especial in common with the Democratic party, but as a journalist we desire to be at least fair. It would be well for "The Voice" to be the same. The above editorial from the Afro-American Ledger, a Negro newspaper that has been published in Baltimore twenty years. The Ledger takes a courageous stand in the case under discussion. The truth is the light, and it is the light humanity yearns for. We heartily endorse the spirit of fairness shown here. The false NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1912. A. B. idea that the Democrates are the arch enemies of the Negroes of this country must be put down. Some of them are our enemies and low and behold some of the Republicans are our enemies, a great host of them are. Every man who deceives us is our enemy, and they are not all Democrats, not by far. It would take a state bigger than Texas to hold all of the Republicans who have deceived us. Let the truth be known, and abide by the consequences. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. BUSINESS AWAKENING. The tendency among the colored people of the North and East to invest their funds in their own enterprises is rapidly increasing. Heretofore, the greatest development shown be Negroes in the way of investments and business has been in the Southern States, where conditions made it necessary for them to do business with their own people. But in recent years, due in a measure to the rapidly increasing numbers of colored people who come from the South, as well as the number of whites, who come with their southern prejudices. Negroes of the Northern and Eastern cities are rapidly realizing the advantage to be gained by developing and increasing business within their own ranks. Many large industrial and financial institutions are now formed, or are in process of formation; and it is to be hoped, as well as expected, that many more will be developed, as something must be done in the near future to make employment, as a means of livelihood, for the many colored people coming North. Whether we wish to be or not we are our "Brother'seeper," and the generation of the present must prepare for the generation of the future; and with the rapidly decreasing positions which Negro men and women can obtain, it is becoming more and more necessary that they make positions for themselves. It is gratifying to note that the more thoughtful are realizing this fact. Too much cannot be done not said, by all interested in the welfare of the Negro people, in favor of increased numbers and volumes of Negro business enterprises. WITH THE PARTY OF PROGRESS. If the "Thou shalt not steal" of the progressives who will meet in Chicago, August 5, no name candidates for President and Vice-President includes the rights of colored citizens, too—and we are sure it does—then the colored citizen, North, East, South and West, must cast his fortunes with this new party. If the Progressive party intends in striking at the root of privilege in the world of industry, no less than in politics comprehends the industrial segregation and the political subjection of a race of ten millions in this country—then as a matter of necessity the masses of colored men must en roll themselves under its banner of equal opportunity. The country had come to the parting of the ways in 1856. The politicians of the day held not only John Brown, but Abraham Lincoln as preachers of the doctrine of discord and distroyers of the public peace. The prevailing sentiment of the time was that "things are pretty well as they are." While this was a Republic of citizens, free and equal, the black race were not held as citizens in the eyes of the Constitution and slavery was a necessary evil. The Democratic and Whig and Know Nothing parties by their silence acquiesced in the Taney doctrine that "a Negro had no right which a white man is bound to respect." President Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, though a Free Soldier, was in coalition and sympathy with the South and her slave system, and openly, but through his vacillating, compromising policy. To the inhuman wrong of slavery the public conscience had become calloused. This was the state of affairs when Abraham Lincoln, under the oaks at Jackson, Mich., in 1856, helped to found the anti-slavery Republican party which was elected to power in 1890. History repeats itself. The Democratic party is the avowed enemy of the equal citizenship of the black man. The Republican party has left his citizenship to the tender mercies of his enemies. The Republican sits supinely by and sees millions of its citizens disfurished. President Taft has promoted, through his indifference and his silence, the almost complete political elimination of the colored citizen There must be a new birth of freedom. There will be a new birth of freedom in this nation—but not directly because of the black man, but primarily, as in 1856, because of the oppression of the masses of white men. The slave system had degraded GIVE US A CALL ed the millions of poor whites before the Civil War. The coalition of crooked business and crooked politics has brought about their grinding oppression through trust domination, high prices for the necessities of life and unequal opportunities for the poor boyan d the rich boy. In response to the nation wide oppression and discontent the Progressive party has come and will rise to power. Theodore Roosevelt is the Abraham Lincoln of our times. He is by proven right the new emancipator of the black man as well as of the white man. As in 1861 the party of progress will find the colored man brave and true, carrying its standards over the ramparts of unequal opportunity, disfranchisement and Jim Crowism to the victory of a square deal for every man beneath the Stars and Stripes.—The Amsterdam News. WILSON AND THE NEGRO WILSON AND THE NEGRO. The New York Age does not see how it will be possible for a single self-respecting Negro in the United States to vote for Woodrow Wilson. He was born in Virginia and lived a good part of his life in Georgia and Alabama. Both by inheritance, and absorption, he has most of the prejuvenile the narrowest type of Southern white people against the Negro. This is a bold assertion, but we can prove it. While Mr. Wilson was president of Princeton University he stated that it was the policy of Princeton to keep Negroes out of that institution. As a result of his policy and influence, Princeton is the one large institution in a Northern State that closes its doors against Negroes. This is not all. Everyone knows that without the vote of the Negro people in the State of New Jersey Mr. Wilson could have never been elected governor. In spite of the fact that his election as governor was due to the Negro vote, he has not by a turn of the finger recognized a single Negro in New Jersey, since he has been governor. he has been Governor. He has treated the race in New Jersey as if they were foreigners and outcasts. THE NEGRO PRESS ON THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The Democratic platform was made without a hostile statement to the colored man. That the work of the committee of colored men from the N. I. P. L. and the National Negro Democratic League in presenting planks in favor of their race to the convention had much to do with this there is no doubt. SHALL COLORED MEN SUPPORT WILSON? The question which is presenting itself to the colored men of the country is, "Shall We Support Wilson?" In answering this question, colored citizens should, first of all ascertain his ast relationship in dealing with the public. It should be the aim of every one interested to find out if Gov. Wilson has an antipathy to citizens of color and whether he accepts in good faith the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States and willingly lives up to their drastic provisions. There can be no question as to Gov. Wilson's pleasing personality and his attitude toward white men, the question is. How does he stand in his relationship to colored men? True, he was born at Staunton Va., which produces some of the best stock in the United States if we may so designate it. White men from the Piedmont Valley are known for their liberal views, their liberality and their disposition to accord equal and exact justice to all men, regardless of ract, color or previous condition of servitude. Has Hon. Woodrow Wilson changed during his travels over the Southern and Northern part of this country or is he a broad minded economist upon this as well as upon other questions? When these queries are answered, then it will be in order to take up the platform of the Democratic party in which Senator Newlands of Nevada endeavored to have engrafted a plank calling for the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. It may be well to state that this proposition seemed to have met with but little consideration at the hands of the convention, although it is known that many Southerners favored the proposition. The Northern colored vote however made such a proposition out of the question WIN July 18 when it is known that colored men are actively affiliated with the Demo It is reported on seemingly good authority that when a delegation of colored people called to see him soon after he was inducted into the office of Governor to request him to retain a colored man who had been messenger in the Governor's office for a number of years, Mr. Wilson told the committee of colored people that he would retain the colored man not because of their political influence but because the man was a "good darky." We do not believe that even Bishop Walters can find a single thread upon which to hang an excuse for supporting a man like Woodrow. Wilson, Certainly, no Negro, let us hope, can support such a man unless that Negro has test all scales of manhood and is out for the dollar pure and simple. Further than this, it is known that an active and strong group of colored people hung around the Democratic convention in Baltimore seeking to get the Democrats to put a line or two in their platform regarding the rights of the Negro. The convention absolutely refused to recognize this committee, or to put a single word in the platform regarding our race. Under all the circumstances, it seems to us that it is perfectly clear that the Negro in the United States can not support Woodrow Wilson without proving at raitor to himself, and to his race. Even if Mr. Wilson were, as an individual, inclined to recognize the Negro, he could not do so for the reason that the people who are responsible for Mr. Wilson's nomination are against the Negro. Mr. Wilson is dependent for his nomination upon such men as Vardaman, Tillman and a host of other mean men of this character. Besides all this, Mr. Wilson's chief manager, Mr. McComb, is an Arkansas white man who, of course, has no use for the Negro. In spite of all these facts, we dare ...In spite of all these facts, we dare say that even a few weak, a few boot-licking Negroes will be going around the country at so much per month trying to invigile the colored people into voting the Democratic ticket.—The New York Age. cricial Party of the nation and it was reported that there was at least one Negro delegate there. From a political standpoint, the Democratic Party is no place for the colored people as such. True, a few if our people may find admission there, but the history of the party negatives the idea of any considerable number of our people enlisting under its banner. This campaign, though, will afford a rare opportunity for the colored voters of the country to make their voting power felt and appreciated. It can harly be doubted that thousands wily support the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Many thousands will support Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, and President Daft will find a loyal guard of colored men doing all in their power to bring about his re-election. But shall colored men support Gov. Woodrow Wilson? This is the question which will attract most attention and when his manager has been chosen and the "schoolmaster" candidate for President has been interviewed upon the subject, then will the rank and file of our people be in a position to answer the burning issue, and decide upon a course of actio nin the pending campaign—Richmond (Va.) Planet. BAILEY July 18 THE HOUR HAS COME. Notwithstanding our oft lamentations with respect to the slowness of our racial advance, yet, all things considered the steady advance of the Negro race is apace with the steady progress being made in all the affairs of this life. However, the opportunity has been wanting whereby the Negro might be emancipated from a sort of sacred feeling, which having kept him as the personal property of one of the great political parties, he has been out of touch with the mighty progressive forces which are working wonderful revolutions in the life of the nation. But the needed emancipation has come at last, and the Negro is at last free from the servile tyranny of the Republican machine, and merging with the new political forces, the present campaign will find members of the race in every one of the political upheavals the emancipation which thoughtful ones among us have hoped for has at last materialized. We have not one harsh word for any of our brethren who may THE HOUR HAS COME. Ask For Yellow Creek Whiskey STRAIGHT 100 PROOF All good dealers sell it. Not a headache in a barrel of it.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, It is claimea by some that Mr. Woodrow Wilson, the democratic nominee for the Presidency, is a very Progressive man. ‘That he is must be agreed by all, judging from his ac complishments.

F, Boyd, Grand Worthy Counsellor, who, among other things, said, that the Knights of Py. thias, with its affiliated Order, the Court of Calanthe, was the greatest Negro Order extant, and so far as the State of Tennessee was concerned they led the van; all others followed. ‘That there was more money in theit combined treasuries than in all the other existing orders in the State put together, He sald that the Court of Calanthe contained the flower of the womanhood of Tennes see, and that he was not ashamed to be the leader of such an assemblage as was being held in Memphis at this time, In closing, he sald: “He who feels no love for woman has no heart for them and is foe to all the finer feelings of the soul, and to na ture’s holiest and tenderest ties, a heartless renegade.” Dr, Boyd was voelferously cheered for his address. At night a recep: t'on was tendered to this delegation at Chureh’s Auditorium, ‘The session of the Grand Court was all that could be desited;_ per. fect harmony telgned throughout all of its deliberations, The reports of the different officials. were _ very agreeable, especially so of Knight N N.

Ther {sa great demand for intelligent Christfan characters, — Who. must make them but our mothers? The Bible says a great, deal about man an¢ & very little about woman; but ir every chapter, sometimes in. evers page, it speaks of angels.

These treatments are designed not only to make the sick well but to keep the WELL WELL, J. L. WEAKLEY CANDIDATE for re-election tor MAGISTRATE THE ATLANTA INDEPENDENT EXPOSES DARK PLOT--TURNS LIGHT ON KNIGHTS of MOSES. This is a new secret order fathered and promoted by white men, said to be for the political, industrial and social emancipation of the Negro race. The promoters of this institution, a Mr. Rhodes, a Jew, and Mr. Moore, a white man, held a convention in this city last week. The delegates were invited and their expenses were met by the promoters. Nobody except preachers who are pastors of churches and heads of Negro secret orders were invited to become delegates. The convention was in session here for two days. Messrs. Rhodes and Moore occupied a greater portion of the time explaining to the delegates how their political and industrial rights might be obtained through their organization as an instrumentality. The heads of the secret orders didn't take kindly to the scheme, and the promoters did not hesitate to advise them that if they could not swalow their medicine they were not wanted. J. W. Barnes, D. G. M., G. U. O. O. F., Virginia, was the only head of Negro secret orders who was able to see any merit or practicability in the scheme. Bishop Turner, of course, laid hands on the deceptive. The promoters soon had the secret order men understand that they proposed to proceed with the preachers, and so far as our PARADE BANNERS FOR LODGES.

In our judgment, the scheme is impracticable, unwise and revolutionary in character. How the preachers could commit themselves to this new found scheme, is a puzzle that we cannot unravel. The preachers may be able to lead their flocks in the ways of the gospel, but when they undertake to deliver them along lines of endeavor, outside of their calling, they will fall dismally, as they deserve to. The success of the secret orders of this country is most largely attributable to the fact that they eschew religion and politics. The genius of secret order success, is, in the economy of their development, they do not dictate to, or interfere with, religion or politics. Every individual is left free to serve God and vote in secular matters, as his conscience may dictate. Secret order men, many of them vote and are actually politicians, but they do not enter the field as secret order men, but as citizens performing a civic duty. But if we understand the Knights of Moses, its chief mission is political. Its primary purpose is to bring to the colored man the full enjoyment of his industrial and political rights, and in order to do this, the lodges, composing this secret order, will have to resolve themselves in secret conclave to live up to and die for, certain political heresies. This would not only destroy the Knights of Moses themselves, but would permanently impair the usefulness of every other Negro secret order in America. The Independent is opposed to secret political or labor organizations. Our government is one by parties, and the public ought to be taken into the confidence of every movement which exists for the purpose of promoting the public welfare. Societies or secret orders which enter into star chamber caucuses to discuss the people's business are menaces to public welfare and do not deserve to live. The purpose of the Knights of Moses, as outlined by its promoters, would destroy the usefulness of every Negro order in the state, and bring down upon them just disapproval. We are not going to obtain our political or industrial business through political societies or parties. Man's rights do not come to him because he earns and deserves them by useful and upright living. And the race of political emancipation will come in like manner. Rhodes and Moore cannot put the ballot in our hand through the Order of the Knights of Moses, and nobody knows this truth any better than they do. The very preachers who gave their sanction to this new-found Moses, well know that the organization of secret political lodges means the death of all Negro secret orders, it matters not how meritorious they may be. Then The Independent regards with suspicion any white man who is over solicitous about our welfare. Messrs. Rhodes and Moore may be perfectly honest and sincere in their professions of love for the Negro, but The Independent cannot understand how they can afford to spend their savings and invite the displeasure of their own race, purely out of love and charity for the Negro. They may be honest, but it is a little out of place for a Jew to spend his money and time without some hope of financial return. We have never been able to understand why white men become all of a sudden interested in the political uplift of the Negro. So much so, that they are willing to pay out thousands to promote some concern too good for white men to join. Yes, something for the exclusive benefit of the colored race. The Knights of Moses reminds us very much of Bishop Turner's Silver Queen Mining Company in far off Mexico. Something too good for white men, but just good enough for black men. If you would listen to the lamentations of Messrs. Rhodes and Moore, because of the sore afflictions of our down-trodden race, you would acclaim at once, that Jeremiah never never did weep for the sins of Israel as these men weep for the distress of the black people. Again, you would feel impressed that this Jew and white man were disgusted at the sins and abominations of their own races and, by divine directions, had turned to the despised Negro to redeem the world. But, for the life of The Independent, we cannot find faith in their professions. They do not show us where they come in. Why these two white men should take up the burdens of the Negro, and feel it necessary to organize a secret order, of which they are the perpetual head and treasury, smacks of a disposition which looks like personal gain. Then the scheme of the Knights of Moses is calculated to intensify race prejudices. The order is calculated to prejudice the interests of all societies in the public eye. Mr. Rhodes will never be able to make anybody believe that he, a Jew, is willing to spend $25,000 of his money unselfishly in a patriotic effort to emancipate the black man. He may be abletofool a part of the people all the time, and all the people a part of the time, but he will not be able to fool all the people all the time. As a race, we want every political and industrial right that any other people enjoy, but we think we can best promote these just ends along more helpful and conservative lines. We are not going to enter midnight or star chamber deals. We are not going to join any white man whom we have reason to suspect is willing to array class against class. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JULY 19. 1912. and race against race to promote his selfish ends. The Independent endorses the manly stand of the heads of Negro secret orders, as reflected as in the conduct of G. R. Hutto, and R. A. Blount, of the K. of P., B. S. Ingram, of G. U. O. F., and H. R. Butler, of the Masons. We regret that our preachers are such easy dupes to every idle wind that blows, and we hope that designing white men will sometime learn that Negro preachers can no more deliver their congregations, like chattel, that a white pastor can deliver his congregation to a fraudulent scheme. We have had enough of the gold bricks and quickget-rich dope. We are tired of white men loving the race to a ruin which consumes into the salvation of their pockets. We are opposed to social equality between the races, and in order to maintain our position we are opposed to mixed schools and churches, except in those communities where both races seek it. Nobody is surprised that Bishop Turner should take to this new-found panacea for evil cure. It's just like his scheme to deport us all to Africa, and his late Silver Queen Mining bubble. We did not attend the meeting, for the reason we had no faith in its integrity. While we need and invite the friendship, assistance and good will of all mankind, we must regard the overworked love of a Jew and a white man wants to help us, let him proceed about it without teaching us race hatred and holding up before us every wrong and holding up before us perpetrated against us. You cannot remedy the evils complained of by reciting them to the oppressed. You must take the gospel to the sinners by preaching to the righteous. You must take the gospel to the ungodly. Let Messrs. Rhodes and Moore take up their work of reform among the sinners who oppress us. Convince them of the evil of the way, and they will assist the Knights of Moses in lifting the Negro into the enjoyment of his political and industrial rights. Abusing the white man to the Negro will not profit, but unake the white man ashamed of his sins and oppression. Show him his strength and our weakness, and make him see that it is his duty to uplift instead of pressing down. Our church cannot be made an adjunct to promote crafty political ambition, neither can our lodges be converted into political-secret conclave behind close doors. Beware of the Knights of Moses!

Stars crossed bats for nine long innings with the score resulting 3 to 3. Both teams played air-tight ball for the whole nine rounds. Sam Martin, the Stars' big wonder, had the Giants at his mercy for the four rounds he pitched, and the same can be said of Kid Dillhunty, who held the Stars for seven long rounds without a score, but in the luck seventh the Giants annexed with him for six hits and three runs. There were many features. For the Giants the left fielder featured in a long catch. For the Stars D. R. Murry, better known in the sporting world as Kid Dick from Illinois, starred at shortstop and at the bat. Kid Dick started the fireworks for the Stars in the seventh and the others who starred for the Stars were our hard-hitting captain, Mr Wm Murry, who in the seventh, with one out and one on base, caught one of Mr. Dillhunty's fast ones and sent it to the field force for three bags. The game was exciting all the way through. Both teams used a couple of pitchers each. Batteries for the Stars: S. Martin, W. Martin and Mc Crow.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION An Echo Meeting on the Sunday-School Congress was the program of the Sunday-School Union that met at the Mt. Bethel Baptist Church on Wichita Avenue, East Nashville, on last Sunday evening. Chairman Lewis of the Sunday-School Union had planned to make this the most magnificent occasion of all the meetings pulled off monthly under the auspices or the Sunday-School Union. Notwithstanding Sunday was a record day for heat, there was a large attendance with the usual amount of interest in the affairs of the Sunday-school. The speaker of the evening was Mr. S. H. Johnson, superintendent of Pleasant Green Sunday-School, an ardent Sunday-school worker, who served the Congress during the past two years as one of the Conductors of the Superintendents' Conference. Another speaker was Rev. J. C. Fields, who declared that he had really found himself in the Sunday-school world for the first time when he witnessed the magnificent Sunday-School Congress at Tuskegee. Many other important matters were taken up touching the Congress, Too, many talks were made by other speakers in the persons of the superintendents of Mt. Nebo Baptist Sunday-School and Fifth Avenue Baptist Sunday-School, pledging the support of their respective schools to the good work already under way. The Rev. Mr. Merritt, pastor of Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, with his Sunday-school forfeit, gave to the Sunday-School Union a most hearty welcome. As it has been the custom, the review of the lesson was given over to the pastor who, after making some brief announcements, substituted Rev. H. A. Boyd. The lesson for Sunday, July 21st, "The Growth of the Kingdom," was taken up under the direction of Mr. Boyd and discussed by those present. The Sunday-School Union voted to hold the next regular meeting on the second Sunday in August at the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, under the pastorate of Rev. Dickson. It was also decided to hold a meeting for the superintendents earlier than this date. By common consent the Sunday-School Union decided to be represented in the Nashville District Association and in the State River Association, to meet in Murfreesboro at an early date. CONFERENCE OF SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS For the purpose of outlining some special work, as well as getting thoroughly acquainted with each other, the Sunday-school superintendents of the Baptist Sunday-school of Nashville have been called to meet at the First Baptist Church on Eighth avenue, North, Sunday evening, July 28th, at 4 p. m. The call is for the superintendents of Mt. Olive Sunday-school, First Baptist Sunday-school, Mt. Nebo, Kayne Avenue, Sylvan Street, Mt. Zion, Mt. Bethel, Pleasant Green and a number of others interested in pushing the special work under way. It was stated when the call went out that an effort would be put forth to have the fifty-two-Sunday schools which are in close proximity to Nashville represented at the meeting. Councilman Harris, superintendent of the First Baptist, Sunday-school, will be one of the speakers of the evening. CITY ASSOCIATION OF BAPTISTS An important meeting known as the City Baptist Association, having for its object the establishment and maintenance of an Old Folks' Home with an orphanage attached, will be held at the Pilgrimage Emanuel Baptist Church on Peabody street early next month. The secretary of the Association made an announcement this week that a large number of delegates were expected to attend the meeting, and that some of the leading pastors of the city were taking an active part. The pastor of the Pilgrimage Emanuel Baptist Church is the Rev. R. D. Black. It was not known just how many of the churches will make up the Association. DR. BUSHELL TO Y. M. C. A. DR. BUSHELL TO Y. M. C. A. backward steps in point of attendance or in interest have been taken in the Y. M. C. A. work of the city of Nashville. It was more evident last Sunday than ever before that the Y. M. C. A. is to receive the solid support of the young men of the city. As to the program, the Rev. J. Davenport Bushell was the principal speaker of the meeting, which was so well attended at the Majestic Theater last Sunday evening. Chairman Keith appears to have left no stone unturned to give the people such rare treat as he is preparing each week. The generosity of the management of the Majestic Theater in making it the place for the holding of the public speaking of the Y. M. C. A. has been commented upon more than once. It is the plan of the Committee on Management of this Young Men's Christian Association to put on from time to time Nashville's best speakers, as well as its most influential business men. A campaign is soon to be launched that will mean an increased membership. It is the hope of the committee that before Mr. Saunders, the secretary, who is attending the institute of Y. M. C. A. secretaries, returns to the city that the interest as well as attendance, will have doubled STONE RIVER ASSOCIATION. Murfreesboro, Tenn., is to entertain the annual session of the Stone River Association, which is to meet sometime next month. The Association is made up largely of the churches in Nashville and vicinity. As a result Nashville usually sends the largest delegation to the Association. Important among the matters to be considered at the meeting will be a forward movement on the part of the denominational workers, the slogan of which is "The World for Christ." In connection with the Association the Sunday-School Convention is to meet. The Rev. J. C. Fields is the President of the Sunday-School Convention. It was through him that the information was handed down concerning the big meeting planned for the County seat of Rutherford. TENNESSEE SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVENTION Just how many delegates Nashville will send to Whiteville, Tenn., to attend the annual B. Y. P. U. and Sunday-School Convention, which opens there on the 23rd, could not be learned. It will be remembered that last year the Kayne Avenue Baptist Church, of this city, entertained the State Convention. An effort is being made by Rev. E. M. Seymour, president of the Sunday-School Department, and Mr. L. C. Moore, president of the B. Y. P. U. Convention, to have the meeting this year eclipse the one held in Nashville. This, however, depends largely upon the number of delegates Middle Tennessee sends to the Convention; as it has been said time and again, that East Tennessee gives but little support to the movements among the Baptists where West Tennessee and Middle Tennessee are factors. The Rev. Dr. C. H. Clark stated Monday that he did know whether he would attend the meeting this year or not, as he was spending all his time looking after the affairs of Mt. Olive and the Old Folks Home. But it was expected that the Rev. E. M. Lawrence, superintendent of missions, would be among those who would leave from Nashville to be present at the meeting next Tuesday. The Rev. A. L. Bowers is to entertain the gathering. CLASS NO. 16 MEETS CLASS NO. 16 MEETS. Class No. 16 of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, known as the Galedai Class, of which Miss M. L. Clark is president and Miss N. E. King is secretary, is planning a series of entertainments, the first of which will be a lawn fence on Wednesday night, July 31, at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. H. A. Boyd, and there will be several house entertainments among the members. The class also received the report of the delegate and the other members who attended the recent session of the Sunday-School Congress at Tuskegee. The report showed that the organized class movement was becoming more and more the desire of the regular Sunday-school workers. FARMINGTON NOTES The Middle Tennessee Sunday-School Convention of the C. C. P. Church convened here July 11-14, and held an interesting session.
