NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. DR. G. W. GATES COMMITS SUICIDE WAS FORMERLY PRESIDENT OF FISK UNIVERSITY. Resigned September Last—Ill Health Believed to be Cause of Rash Act... —Had Gone South on Advice of Physicians—Had Many Friends Here. Special to the Globe. Special to Winter Park, Fla., Nov. 20.—Dr. George A. Gates, formerly president of Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn., committed suicide last night by shaking his throat with a razon. Dr. Gates resigned the presidency of Fisk the 30th of last September, having been advised by his physicians to divorce himself from all taxation. He had been here two or three weeks and was supposed to be improving. The news of his untimely death came a great surprise to everyone. The message announcing the death of Dr. Gates was received in this city this morning. Dr. Gates was born at Topsam, Vt., January 24, 1851, and was educated at Dartmouth. He studied later in Germany. He graduated at the Andover Theological Seminary in 1880 and was ordained into the Congressional ministry. He married Miss Isabelle Augusta Smith at Syracuse, N. Y., December 14, 1882. He was pastor at Upper Monclair, N. J., and Chevenne Wyo. He served as President of Grinnell College, Grinnell, Ia., for thirteen years. He was President of Pomona College, at Claremont, Cal., for seven years, completing his work there in 1909. when he was elected President of Fisk University, in Nashville. He was the author of "A Foe to American Schools." No announcement has been made as to the funeral of the distinguished educator, the telegram announcing his death failing to give this information. Dr. Gates had many friends in Nashville who will be pained to know of his death, and among his intimate associates at the university profound regret reigns. He was a successful educator and was held in high esteem in this community. SHELBY COUNTY OFFICIALS DON'T WANT TEMPLE COM- MUTED. Jesse Edginton, Judge of the Shelby County Criminal Court, Z. N. Estes, Attorney General, and Harry T. Holman, Assistant Attorney General, have addressed letters to Gov. Hooper protesting against the commutation of Leo Temple, the Shelby County Negro sentenced to hang, and asking that the Governor that the execution be allowed to proceed. This makes the second condemned man the Shelby County authorities have asked the Governor to show no mercy to within the last few months. On the former occasion Gov. Hooper was onusiding the commutation of a wife murderer and the Shelby County officials are quoted as saying that if the Governor commuted him they would never try to secure sentence of death against another accused. Others are also interesting themselves in the case of Temple, but in a different way. The ministers of Nashville, both white and colored, are seeking to have the sentence commuted. They sent J. E. Mosley, a local lawyer, to Memphis to secure evidence in the case. Temple, who was given a two weeks' respite by Gov. Hooper, is due to hang Nov. 25. Gov. Hooper stated last night that he had not looked over the records as yet, as he had just returned to the city, but that petitions were being entered in the Negro's behalf, and that he intended to look thoroughly into the case. Rev. Preston Taylor, one of those interested in the matter, and speaking for those responsible for circulating the petition who are anxious that the wrong impression, is not created, said: "We are conscientiously believe ETAO "We consciently believe this 17-year-old boy is innocent; and if we thought otherwise, we would not enter one word of protest against the sentence which the law has seen fit to impose upon him. Knowing that Gov. eror Hooper is a man above racial prejudice we are asking that a thorough investigation of the case he had and if the boy is innocent we believe he ought to be freed." WILL RECOMMEND SMOKE ORDI NANCE. In the annual message of Mayor Hilary Howse, to be issued within the ensuing few weeks, a recommendation will be made to the effect that an ordinance be passed regarding the smoke nuisance so noticeable in the city at present. Although an ordinance of this character has been before the city council or the past several months, it has never been passed, and supposedly died a natural death. Before the present council was elected a smoke ordinance was proposed, but no action was taken, and when the present council came into office the ordinance was re-introduced. HOLIDAY EDITION. NASHVILLE GLOBE. GOLD AND BLUE TRIUMPHANT DOWNS TUSKEGEE ON HER HOME GROUND. Large Crowd Witnesses a Stubbornly Fought Game—Fisk Makes First Touch DownJKicks Goal—Tuskegee Scores Once but Fails At Goal—Rousing Reception. Special to the Globe: Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. 16. —On campus here today was played one of the most interesting football games in the annals of southern teams between the eleven of Tuskegee The day was an ideal one. The gee Institute and Fisk University, grandstand filled early and by three o'clock a crowd of over a thousand had gathered to witness the contest. All about the field could be seen masses of old gold and red, Tuskegee's colors, with bits of old gold and blue, here and there. The Tuskegee eleven came upon the gridiron confident that the enviable record of fourteen years of victorious battles upon their home field would not be broken. The Fisk squad came upon the field with the determination characteristic of all loyal sons of Fisk, to bring glory to their alma mater. Fisk won the toss and chose to defend the western goal. Fisk kicked off. Tuskegee returned the pligskin ten yards. After two minutes of play Fisk, by several startling end runs and forward passes, worked the ball to Tuskegee's ten yard line only to lose it on a fumble. By an exchange of points Fisk placed the ball on Tuskegee's one yard line. On an attempted punt Fearce of Fisk blocked the kick, Suggs falling on the ball. Tuskegee then resorted to plunging, tearing great holes in Fisk's line time and time again. The contest was evenly fought until the third quarter, when Tuskegee carried the ball over Fisk's goal line on a forward pass. The trial at the stood 7 to 6. The victory is a very important one from the fact that it was the first time Tuskegee had been scored upon or beaten upon their home field for fourteen years. Great Rally at Fisk. The Fisk braves were met at the station on their arrival home by the student body, and the welkin was made to ring in great style. The cheering was kept up until the boys reached their native berth on old Fort — Here an old wagon was secured and the conquerers of Tuskegee were loaded in and given a joy ride. Every conceivable noise apparatus was brought into play and for a time it seemed as if an earthquake was taking place. Coach Welker let the boys rest a couple of days and then set on to get ready for the A. B. C. game. Thanksgiving. This promises to be a stubborn contest. Report comes from Atlanta that the boys from the land of peaches and peanuts are in fine fettle, and are coming with the hope of carrying Fisk's scalp bark with them. The wearers of the Gold and Blue are not understanding their opponents and are making careful preparation for the contest. Local interest in the game is at a high pitch. A. B. C. has a large following in this city and the Meharry boys will be on hand to pull for them, the team that is filling their engagement. The game will be played on Fisk campus. JOHN ARTHUR FANNON After an absence from home of about a dozen years, Mr. John Arthur Fannon is visiting in Nashville. He is here on a sad mission for he came to be present last week at the funeral of his niece. Mr. Fannon has served good business locations in Calgary Province of Alberta, Canada, his pres ent home. He is also an old student of Normal, Ala, and was in Fisk in 1899 and had he continued in school he would have finished with the class of 1903. BALKY MULE BACKS DRIVER IN TO RIVER. A balky mule and the driver came near to staging a treedy Wednesday afternoon, when the aforementioned mule backed a wagon containing Jim Hooper off a thirty-foot embankment into the Cumberland river near the Tennessee Central depot. The mule had been steadily plodding along with a fair load when it occurred to him that a little rest would not be out of order. He stopped and began to back without taking the trouble of looking backward to see whitherward he was bound. Hooper grabbed frantically at the wheels of his vehicle in a vain effort to bring it to a stop, but he was too late, and n a second he had joined the bird gang, and mule, driven wagon and all began the thirty-foot decent. When the bottom was reached Hooper picked himself up, the fule let out a bray for which his ancestors are famous, but the wagon's tongue was silent. The wrecking of the wagon was the only damage sustained, and amounted to about $10. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22, 1912. MEETING MONDAY NIGHT GET TOGETHER FOR COMMUNITY UPLIFT KEYNOTE DISCUSSION North End Neighborhood Union Making Great Headway—People See The Need of Such Institution Branch of City Union or Urban Conditions. Last Monday night an enthusiastic gathering of the residents of the third ward and adjoining blocks, who have formed themselves into the North End Neighborhood Union, tas held at Pleasant Green Baptist Church. Some of the oldest and leading residents of the district were present, and some who were prevented from attending sent messages of regret. It is not often that a meeting for a new movement has such a unanimous feeling and opinion for matters of community betterment and mutual protection as that expressed at this meeting. Father Coombs, Rector of the Holy Trinity Church, who lives in this district, made some remarks that were well received by these present. Editor Hart, of the "Globe," made a strong talk on the need of further getting together and standing like men and women shoulder to shoulder in working for those needs which made for the uplift of our common life and the thing in which we need protection and mutual help. Prof. Hardy L. Keith added a strong line of argument to the same and effect. As a result of the meeting a decision w asmade to carry a campaign of community bettermet throughout the district and to rally the entire community to a massmetting to be help at Pleasant Green Baptist Church on Monday night, December 16, at 8 o'clock. A committee was appointed to work out the plans for this meeting and to make a house to house canvass to explain the purposes of the organization to the residents of the neighborhood. This committee will meet next Monday night and begin its work. The North End Neighborhood Union is a branch of the Nashville League on Conditions among Negroes which was organized last January to bring together the colored people and their white friends throughout the city in a city forward movement for a social and civic betterment. The plan of the league is to organize neighborhood unions in all sections of the city and bind these together by delegate members from these unions in the Executive Council or the central body. Already the league has taken steps to organize in other neighborhoods besides the north end. It has started a kindergarten for the district around the corner of Eighteenth avenue and Cedar street, where the kindergarten is located. It is beginning an effort for helping the juvenile delinquents and going to the juvenile court besides these cityward organizations of neighborhood unions. The Nashville league is a branch of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, which is developing similar work in the cities of the country where suitable numbers of colored people reside. The National body has its headquarters at 281. Fourth avenue, New York City and is now becoming incorporated under the laws of the State of New York with a charter to carry on its activities throughout the United States. The League has in its employ about twelve social workers who are experts in the various problems confronting colored people in cities. Two of these experts are visiting the different cities of the country from time to time and assisting in the development of this work. The League also has an educational feature of its work for the securing and training of Negro youth for work as social experts in meeting the conditions in cities. In this educational work it has affiliated with Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.; Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta, Ga., and Talladega College, Talladega, Ala. Last year two graduates were provided with fellowships and had training at the New York School of Philanthropy and Columbia University, and both of these young people are now at work in two different cities. This year, two or three college graduates are being given the same training. HUBBARD HOSPITAL On Friday afternoon, November 29, the dedication exercises of the Geo W. Hubbard Hospital will be held in Meharry Auditorium at half past one o'clock. The South wing of the commodious building is about completed. All that remains to be done is a few touches by the builders. Many of the graduates of Meharry are expected to attend these exercises. Among that number will be Dr. Slaughter of Oklahoma, one of the Mehharries who has made an enviable reputation. FIRE THURSDAY MORNING AT WALDEN UNIVERSITY Thompson's Chapel Partially Destroyed—No One Injured—Girls Break Down Doors. Thursday morning between five and six o'clock fire was discovered in the upper story of Thompson Chapel at Walden University. The firs was first seen by inmates from the top story of the Girls' Dormitory. An alarm was turned in from Boxes 165 and 161. The fire companies responded quickly and by ready response the fire was soon gotten under control. A great deal of excitement was created among the students and the people in the community when the fire was discovered. Miss Miser, the Preceptress of the Girls' Dormitory, had a room in the Chapel building. The first she knew of the fire was when someone knocked on her door and made the fact known to her. The boys on the school grounds proved themselves heroes on this occasion. They quickly responded to the calls for help by the girls and in a few minutes had landed all of them safely on the ground, and then set about to get out their effects. Practically all of the clothing of the girls rooming in the building was saved and all got ten safely down stairs without injury. Miss Cecil While, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, a little girl weighing about 95 pounds, n her haste to reach safety, broke through one of the heavy doors, and when seen by a Globe representative, was none the worse for her thrilling experience. When asked what time the fire broke out she said she did not know, and that all she remembered was that she got out of the building in quick time. This Chapel was erected in 1869 and was located between the main Girls' Dormitory and the residence of Miss Mamie Braden. It was one of the original group if Central Tennessee College. Many of the leading Negro professional and business men of the South received their college diplomas from the platform of this Chapel. It was one of the old landmarks of the institutions or the education of Negroes of the South. The fire originated in the second story, and by prompt action in the part of the fire companies the flames were confined to that story. The fact that a new roof had recently been put on the building doubtless proved a great help to the fire companies in confining the flames as they did. The roof did not fall in completely owing to the strength of the new tin. Dr. Kulmer, President of the University, could not be seen Thursday morning, and it is not known whether the building will be repaired or torn down. This, of course, will be determined by the action of the Building Inspector. Daily exercises will be held in the Meharry Auditorium until other arangements can be made. THE NEGRO IN NASHVILLE BE FORE THE WAR. Last year Mr. William Lloyd Imes, a graduate student in the Social Science Department of Fisk University, as a part of his work for the Master of Artade gree, made an investigation and wrote a monograph on "The Negro in Tennessee before the Civil War." In his discussion he gives a full account of the Negro in the Cumberland River Valley, Davidson County and Nashville. The earliest record of Negroes in Davidson County was in 1787. There were then 105 Negroes between the ages of twelve and sixty. Nashville was just a rough community in the wilderness with a few settlers from the older districts in the East, "living in hewed and frame-log houses and cabins." In 1790 Davidson County had 677 Negroes, and in 1800, ten years later, 3,104. This was nearly one-fourth of the total population of the State. Until 1850 Davidson County had the largest colored population of any county in the State. The houses were hewn log cabins and some of them were well constructed, especially those adjacent to the homes of the masters. Of course, in this period the larger part of the Negro population were slaves. Nashville was naturally a center of the slave-trade of the region, and slaves were sold for prices ranging from $200 to $1,000. There were a number of skilled artisans among the slaves and such mechanics often brought as high as $1,500. The food of the slaves, except that of house servants, consisted usually of corn meal, pork and fruits which were plentiful. The clothing in the country district around the city was a quite simple affair. Boys, up to 18 years, often wore only a shirt of coarse cloth made with sleeves as a sort of tunic that could be put on and off rapidly. The older men, of course, wore pan- taloung and coarse shirts, while the women had dresses and bandanna head blots. Among the slave population there were shoemakers, wagoners, carpenters and blacksmiths. The barber trade was entirely in the hands of colored men. Mainly free colored people engaged in the work of the barber's trade. It is estimated that 8 out of every 11 barbers were freemen. The freemen also found a livelihood as liverymen and hackmen, several of whom owned their stables and vehicles. Six free Negro hackmen were known to do splendid business in their lime. There were two free Negro farmers well-known before the war, who lived near Nashville and were very well-to-do. One of them is described as "father of a family, and an industrious and thrifty farmer and gardener." He was accustomed to carry garden produce into the city regularly in his wagon. There are a few cases of Negroes engaged in professional work in this period. One case was a physician's assistant, who became so skilled as a doctor and surgeon that his master allowed him to wait upon many of his white patients in applying leeches and cupping, and in the several other practices of the time. A similar case of a dentist's assistant is mentioned. This man finally set up independently for himself before the war. It is an interesting fact also that some free Negroes owned slaves. A free woman, who kept a livery stable, bought a slave for a husband and yet kept him as her slave at the same time. Of course, in the latter part of the period many relatives bought their kinsmen in order to free them from the slave system. There was never in Tennessee any rebellion or insurrection of the colored people, such as those that happened in Charleston and Virginia. The colored population was peaceable and law-abiding. Many of the masters provided religious instructions for their slaves and the result was seen in the orderly life of the colored people. At least four places in Nashville prior to the war—one a Negro church—were known as places of Sunday-school instruction. In some cases attention was given to teaching, reading and writing, and the free Negro population had two schools where their children attended in the day time and they themselves at night. The school masters in both these schools were Negroes. Thus, from the earliest history of Nashville the Negro has been an important part of its population, and from the first they have been a peacable, moral, religious, law-abiding people. By thrift, many of them bought their own freedom, secured skill in their occupations, and a number of them accumulated considerable property and some education. On Twelfth Avenue, North, near Jefferson street, still stands a two-story brick house erected before the war by one of these freemen who was well-known and respected in the community. Below is a table of the white and Negro populations of Nashville from 1830 to 1910: Year Negro White # White 1830 2,012 3,353 1840 2,524 4,406 1850 2,539 17,626 1860 3,945 13,043 1870 9,709 16,149 1880 16337 27,005 1890 29,395 46,773 1900 30,004 50,796 1910 36,523 73,832 TURKEY WILL BE PERMITTED TO KEEP CONSTANTINOPLE AND BE GIVEN TOEHOLD IN SOFIA, Nov. 19.—Bulgaria's conditions for agreeing to an armistice were transmitted to Constantinople early this morning. They were accompanied by Bulgaria's main conditions for the conclusion of peace, the principal stipulation of which permits Turkey to retain the city of Constantinople and a strip of coast territory in Europe. It is understood that the terms of the allies for an armistice are moderate, and that Turkey may save Constantinople if she accepts them. Respecting Albania, it is said, n well informed quarters that the Balkan League probably will not object to that country remaining under the suzerainty of the sultan, and that the powers will acquiesce in this. PARIS, Nov. 19.—The conditions of the Balan allies with respect to an armistice, according to information received here, include the unconditional surrender of important points, such as Adrianeople, the Tchatajta lines and Durazzo, on the Adriatic sea, Bulgaria will renounce entry into Constantinople. Many persons believe Turney will yield on most of the points, in the hope that Europe eventually will undertake to reduce the claims of the elites when peace is concluded. It the pour parlers are successful. Constantinople will remain Turkish territory, which the powers desire. TENNESSEE'S LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL No.48 TEMPLE CASE INVESTIGATION NASHVILLE PEOPLE FOR HIM.— MEMPHIS OFFICIALS AGAINST. White Lawyer Volunteers His Services —White Ministers Interceed—Negro Churches Raise Money— Governor Asked to Commute Sentence Leo. Temple, whose sentence to death was respited for ten days is calmly awaiting his fate in the county jail. Mr. J. E. Mosley, a young and brilliant white lawyer of this city volunteered to look into the case fully. In fact, Mr. Mosley took the inative in the case. He would not accept pay for his services, feeling he said, that the boy's case was in that his conscience told him should be looked after. The colored ministers and business men however, raised about fifty dollars to pay Mr. Mosley's expenses to Memphis and return. This case has aroused deep interest on the part of the people. The boy is a stranger in Nashville, but his version of the case is so straightforward that his innocence is impressed upon the listener at once. He said to a Globe representative as follows: "I was working for Mr. T. F. Queen, who lives in a suburb of Memphis. Another man, Mr. Queen was very disagreeable toward me, but he was not so with the other boy. Mr. Queen's children would often meddle with me when I was doing my work, and I complained to him about it. He told me to take a stick and knock his boy down. I told Mr. Queen no, I could not do that, I said Mr. Queen, you are a white man and they are your children, and I anl't nothing but a nigger, and you ohght to correct your own children. Well, the other boy left on Saturday night and on Sunday morning I was told to go milk which I did. When I carried the milk in Mr. Queen said to me, did you mix that milk? I told him yes sir and then he began to abuse me and to say I could not learn anything. I did not say anything back to him, but went on with my work. I was ordered to stay around the house all day as the chillere all away. I did so. Sunday night, I asked Mr. Queen to lend me fifty cents and at he once began to curse me. I went to Mrs. Queen and told her I could not stand Mr. Queen's abuse. She said never mind him, so I went to Mrs. Queen because she was the boss of the place. On Monday morning, one of the lit-girls went in a room to get some fruit. I was sitting on the back porch waiting for Mr. Queen to get through his breakfast si I could eat mine, and I could eat mine, and I could hear them talking. The girl said papa, a bottle talking. The girl said papa, that fruit has come back and one of the boys said a bottle of coca cola had been stolen and I heard them say yes, nobody took those things but Leo. I told m.R. Queen I did not take them. That I was raised better than that and if I wanted anything he had I would ask for it, and if he did not give to me, I would pay for it if I wanted it. Monday evening Mr. Queen asked me about the child and I told him no. Mr. Queen I did not do that. I told him I wouldn't do such a thing. He said the child said I did not, but Negroes so often do such things and deny it. I told him I was a Christian and would not do such a thing for nothing. Mr. Queen tild me to go on about my wirk anh I did. A little later four men came and arrested me. When they got to jail, they did not have a warrant and could not put me in jail and had to carry me ti the workhouse. Well, they had my trial, Mr. P. M. Dowdall was my lawyer. At the trial they could not make the child say I dine anything to her. She would always say no and the lawyers had to ask her in a way she could not understand to get her to say yes. My lawyer said he could not carry the case to the Supreme Court unless I cild get him ten dollars. I gave him several addresses and he said he wrote bt I never heard from the letters. They say the jaller there will take money if it is sent, but I don't know whether he sent me any money or not. I never did get any. Leo Temple has told this story over and over with little if any variations and the people in this city believe he is innocent and are working for his release. ROGER WILLIAMS DEFEATS LANE COLLEGE. At Athletic Park last Saturday, the strong eleven from Lane College, Jackson, Tennessee, went down in defeat before the sturdy boys from the bluff. Roger has a clean slate to date. Numerous difficulties remain, however, including the status of the Aegean islands, the matter of a Servian port on the Adriatic, the delimitation of autonomous Albania, the partition of territories, the claims of Rumania and the Servian customs administration. Nevertheless, it is considered that the situation has become clearer. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912. FORWARD NASHVILLE COLORED MEN GREAT FORWARD MOVEMENT MEETING SUN.

[Name] N. H. PIUS, of the Pius Poultry Pens, Breeder of Single Comb White Orpingtons, Secretary Tennessee Colored Poultry Association. A few years ago and a very few at that, the raising or thoroughbred poultry among the Negroes of our state was indeed limited, but as time has past and the wheel of prosperity continues to move on, the Negro is to be found moving along with it.. The raising of poultry in any of its phases has long since been found to be one of the best money making propositions that any person could take hold of, provided they go after it with a determination to succeed. It is not one of those projects that takes a man his life time to get into before the profit is to be had. Neither do we have to put a fortune into it, nor do we have to nurse it at all times, as the majority of the people think; but the main thing is first to make up your mind what you are going to do. utility or for eggs and whether you are going to raise show birds, what kind you are going to begin with. Then converse with some person as to the class of houses necessary, then go to work. Utility stock is the class for the beginner. You will find it better to work up to the show bird, then start with it and have to hustle to stay there. Grow as your business grows and you will find yourself better fitted for the higher place. A pen of five or six birds is a nice start for any beginner, and at the end of a year, that is if a careful account has been kept, you will be surprised to know the profit that has been derived. We are proud to state that the Negroes of Tennessee are fast awakening to this fact. We have in our state some men engaged in the poultry business who are really making a success of it. This was clearly shown to the public at their first annual exhibition held in connection with the Tennessee State Colored Fair Association in September last. There were a score or more of breeders from decent parts of the state represented, and the birds displayed surprised every one who visited the apartments. The expres- sion could be frequently heard among the sight-seers "I never thought that this class of poultry was handled by any Negroes." And then that did not represent one-third of the breeders who are actually engaged in the raising of thoroughbred poultry in the State of Tennessee, and it is surprising too to learn that they have only been engaged in it for less than five years, and every one to a single person, started with a small flock in their back yards. Some have grown to such an extent that they are now raising them on large scales ann have drifted to the country where acres of land are used. The Negro in general as well as the farmer will have to learn, before he can expect to succeed, that it is best to have the best of everything on his premises. The old common chicken that lays only in May, June, July and August, is not profitable. The class of chickens that you want now is those that will give you winter eggs, and where broilers can be had during the early spring that can be produced in six and eight weeks weighing from one to one and a half pounds, that will cost you not more than 12 cents per head in producing them, and you receive 50 and 60 cents each on the M.

There is now organized in our state what is known as the Tennessee State Colored Poultry Association. Much credit is to be given to this Association for the wonderful development that has taken place in the raising of poultry in our state. At the head of this Association there are people connected who are actually engaged in the raising of thoroughbred poultry, and who have succeeded in the business. They are as follows: L.

Turner, a member of the Executive Committee, Pulaski, Tenn., and a host of others that we could go on to mention are members of this Association and are putting forth every effort for the future advancement of poultry in the state. They are working hard to make their next annual exhibition a grand success, and it is their desire that every Negro in the State of Tennessee ally themselves with this Association, even if they are not the breeders of the show bird stock, but for the information and the encouragement that it is giving. Any one desiring any further information as to this Association may write the President or Secretary. GETTING EGGS FROM TABLE SCBAPS This article is not intended for the experienced poultry rater; but it is written with a view of encouraging more persons to adopt poultry raising as a profitable means of utilizing the waste form the table. Almost any man or woman can devote from half an hour to two hours per day to a small flock of birds and they will pay well for the time spent in their care. Get rid of needless dogs and cats and turn your table scraps into money. You do not need a great amount of knowledge, experience, space or money to begin on this plan. Any one who can use a hammer and saw can build a poultry house and any old timber, dry goods or piano box will do for material. You should decide for yourself the kind of birds you like best. This having been done, you should try to "love them." Don't change unless you have good reasons, but stick to them anl learn them. For egg production, broilers and roasters combined the Rhode Island Reds are considered hard to beat. There are other good utility varieties which do well but the writer has gotten the best results from the Reds. The number of birds you should keep will depend largely upon the amount of scraps available. For a start I would suggest five hens and a cock; and if you find you have [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a mustache]. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. J. FRANK BATTLE. Breeder of Single Comb White Leg horns, member of the Executive Committee of the Tennessee Colored State Poultry Association. enough scraps for more, you may increase you flock accordingly, but remember that maximum efficiency can only be obtained as nearly as possible the necessary number of fowls to consume the waste. You will need probably in addition to the table waste some green food in the winter and a little grain. If you are not fortunate enough to have a turnip patch or a small lot in clover, you may supply this need by sprouting oats. The grain should be fed in a deep litter to induce the hens to take exercise, never on the bare ground. This makes them lazy. Make them work as much as possible for what they get. With good attention five Rhode Island Reds from a heavy egg producing strain should lay at least 750 eggs per year. These would probably be sufficient for any ordinary family. The additional food furnished would not cost more than 25 cents per hen per year: and at the price of say 25 cents per dozen for the eggs, the 750 would bring in $15.62 per hen: and deducting 25 cents per year for additional feed the net amount for each hen would be $2.62. Some home poultry growers have gotten as much as $4.50 per hen. I believe that $2.60 for each hen is a reasonable amount to expect. I know of no better way of turning the scraps into money than this Raising poultry as a means of utilizing table waste is a real economy and a true way of reducing the so-called high cost of living. Aside from economy, poultry is very fascinating and the hens make good pets. Once you begin to raise you will just love it. In the writer's home nothing is wasted that can be eaten by the chickens. Even potato and turnip peels are cooked and fed. The bones from roasts and stews are baked into a brittle crisp and fed. The "pot-poller" is saved and fed with a little bran and all of this the chickens eat and relish. The increasing demands of the American people for fresh eggs, broilers and roasters insures the permanence and prosperity of this industry. The demand is already far greater than the supply and the price of poultry will continue to advance. Almost every state experiment station has and is carrying on valuable experiments in poultry: and to-day far greater results are obtained than was only a few years ago. The hen which only laid in the spring and summer in all about 75 or 100 eggs per year finds no place on the modern poultry farm. Quite a number of poultry raises are getting from 180 to 200 eggs per year and are arranging this for their entire flock. Some are ```markdown ``` --- ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` CHICKEN March and April Hatched Pullets Se-lected or Breeders. Six and Seven Months old when picture was tak-en. Possess Fine color.

In the National egg laying contest, almost every breed being represented, Plymouth Rock hen laid 200 eggs within eight months, while the hens of the Rhode Island Reds are in the read as egg producers. On the Old Virginia Poultry Farm, Lawrenceville, Virginia, a Rhode Island Red pallet hatched April 28, 1911 laid her first egg on November 1st, and continued all though the summer and winter. Even during the molting period she laid an average of 12 eggs per month. It is the opinion of the writer that she has already exceeded the 200 egg mark. The pullets of the famous F. F. V. strain of Rhode Island Reds bred on this farm, hatched any time during March and April will lay in the fall as sure as fall is to come and will be found good winter layers. The breeder on this farm makes a spectalty of breeding for eggs. Don't buy you eggs and chickens when you can raise them in return for your table scraps. Buy the best you can afford from reputable breeders. They are the cheapest in every way. Pure bred poultry consumes no more food than the scrub stock; can be housed just as cheap, will lay more eggs; grow more rapidly; command a higher price and have a ready market at all times.—Journal and Guide.

Nature has a great many danger signals. The most common is the red light of actual physical weariness. We all know enough to recognize that even if we don't heed it. But there are other signals of even more eminent danger which many people entirely fall to recognize. Try to remember that after all you don't have to hold the whole universe on your shoulders; that if you do your best that is all that is required of you, and Providence will take care of the rest. Now that the election is over it is to be hoped that the differences in opinion manifested by the colored politicians will not cause any permanent estrangements of friendships. Let us hope that the choice of the people has been a wise one—that our country will continue to flourish, prosper and, most of all, that our animosities and jealousies will not cause us to condemn without trial the new administration. The issues of the campaign have been presented squarely to the people and ample time given for careful deliberation as to what was best for the nation. Everything that has a beginning must likewise have an end. If the disastrous defeat of the Republican party means the passing of that organization, let all fair-minded men accept it as the natural evolution of politics and set to work, in the event the newly elected administration does not meet the approval of the people, to build over its bier a new and greater one. Political economy is taught best by the mistakes of others. The failure of policies, reforms, principles and issues all blaze the safe trail and shorter route to the f perfection of ideals in government. There is no reason why any citizen should assume that the new President will not profit by the mistakes of his predecessors.—The Indianapolis Ledger. By Councilman S. P. Harris. The latest approved and accepted definition of the term citizenship, is that which describes it as follows: "The status of a citizen with its rights and privileges." The same author defines a citizen to be "A member of a nation or a sovereign state, especially a republic; one who owes allegiance to a government and is entitled to protection from it." Referring again to the definition of citizenship as given above, viz., the status of citizen with all of the rights and privileges that go with that status, it is easy to see that to be a citizen of one's country is no tution which them as per right to duty and to And thus the Negroes ed, was five this Dred-Scine line with a public sentin tined to be it will it was and render tain events War.

The Negroes of this country should not lose sight of this fact when it is remembered that citizenship was denied them for a long, long time. It should not only be looked upon as something to be prized very highly by them, but should be guarded as a very precious jewel. In saying that citizenship was denied the Negroes of this country for a long time I do not mean to say that there was any special legislative enactment denying the privilege of citizenship. I do not recall any such enactment. But public sentiment stood as a bar, and this at times, is more effective than some legislative enactments. This public sentiment took definite shape or reached 'its culmination in the Dred Scott decision which was rendered in the year 1857. The decision in part reads as follows: "A free Negro of the African race, whose ancestors were brought to this country and so'd as slaves is not 'a citizen' with in the meaning of the Constitution of the United States.... When the Constitution was adopted they were not regarded in any of the states as members of the community which constituted the state, and were not numbered among its 'people or citizens.' Consequently the special rights and immunities guaranteed to citizens do not apply to them.... The only two clauses in the Consti METOKA MEETING The Metoka Class of Mt.

SHELBYVILLE NOTES. Rev. G. R. Norman, of the A. M. E. Church, is again among us, and has made a beautiful beginning with his year's work for the new conference year. The funeral of Mr. Jas. R. Hunter took place Saturday at the First Baptist Church. He was one of the oldest citizens of the town. Miss Mollie Cortner died last Friday night at the home of her brother, Thomas Cortner. Her funeral was attend'd at the A. M. E. Church by Dr. G. R. Norman, as sist'd by Dr. Jones. She was a most excellent young lady, and a host of friends mourn their loss. Mrs. J. A. The image shows a vast, open field with a dense line of trees in the background. The field appears to be covered in grass or low vegetation, and there are no visible buildings or other structures. The sky is overcast, suggesting a cloudy day. 12 tution which point on this race treat them as persons whom it was morally right to deal in as articles of property, and to hold, as slaves." And thus it was that the status of the Negroes of the United States soed, was fixed, and remained fixed by this Dreds-Scot decision which was in line with a custom established by public sentiment. This decision continued to be the law of the land until it was uprooted and overturned and rendered null and void by certain events growing out of the Civil War. The events referred to were the Emancipation Proclamation, the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. I do not hold that the citizenship of the American Negro is based upon or has its origin in any one or in all of these events taken together. But these events were necessary to clear away the rubbish which had been collecting around this right for more than two hundred fifty years. This citizenship then ought to be guarded as a very precious jewel and nothing should be allowed to tarnish it or take it away. The two vital elements of citizenship then, according to the definition given above, are allegiance to, and protection from the government under which one lives. In other words, I would say that a citizen owes allegiance to his government just as surely and as truly as he is, a citizen. On the other hand, he is just as surely and truly entitled to protection from the government. This is true both of state and federal citizenship. Taking up one phase of this citizenship, viz. alliance. I will save that this implies faithfulness and obedience which is only another expression for lovility. It is the duty of every one then to make himself the acceptable citizen, to try to measure up to the standard of the Ideal citizen; a citizen that adorns and beautifies society. In general and makes for the betterment of the community in which he lives. This much one owes to society and to himself, if he would in any way measure up to the standard of the acceptable citizen. This allegiance or this loyalty requires that one should help to bear faithfully the burdens of government, whether it is to take up arms in defense of one's country, or to pay the duties levied in the form of taxes for the support of the government. To shift any one of these duties is to fall short of measuring up to the standard of a genuine and acceptable citizen. This leads me to say further that the ideal citizen is for as their citizenship was concern also a home-builder; one who is very much concerned about the family relation and who seeks to respect and to keep in tact that foundation for society which was laid by God himself. In pursuance of this idea the young Negroes of Nashville, of Davidson County, and of the State of Tennessee, in fact, of this country, should be very much concerned about obtaining homes and taking upon themselves the high duties of citizenship. Jones took a trin down to Nashville last Saturday to attend to some business matters at her home. She returned Monday. Miss P. A. Compton, of Turner Normal, has been on the slick list several days. Dr. J. A. Jones has returned after having attended several days the four conferences in the state. He came home suffering with a severe cold, and has not fully recovered. The latest arrivals at Turner Normal are Mr. A. L. Buford, of Williamsport, and Mr. Amos T. Walls, of Stevenson, Ala. Miss Ella L. Jones went to the country last week to spend a couple of days with Miss Eunice Campbell, who returned with her to enter Turner Normal. Many improvements have been recently made out on Turner Normal grounds. A new water works system, supplying the whole place, has been installed. The work was done wholly by the students. Mr. Emmett Campbell had charge of the work. Water has been run into the kitchen by hydrant, as well as in the laundry. The water is pumped from the new well by gasoline line.

The image shows a large, leafy tree in the foreground with a sprawling canopy. The background is a vast, open field with a few scattered buildings and trees. The sky is overcast, and the overall atmosphere is calm and serene. An organization of Christian young men existed in Great Britain and Ireland more than two hundred years ago. There were also similar associations in German cities between 1834 and 1842, and larger movement in 1849 from which originated the German association of the present day. The modern English speaking as ociation began in a meeting of clerks in a London mercantile house in 1844. Sir George Williams was the central figure in this meeting, and today he is known as the founder of the Y. M. C. A. The original organization was composed of young men professing a saving knowledge in Christ with men of good moral character as their associates. They began working by methods in harmony with Christianity for the physical, social, mental and spiritual improvement of their members and young men in general. This movement extended to the United States and Canada in December, 1851, when societys were formed in Montreal, Canada, and Boston, Mass. During the next two years about twenty four associations were added and about 200 during the next ten years. The civil war interfered somewhat with its material growth, but the work did not stop. About 5,000 Christian workers were sent to the field and hospitals, and more than $5,000,000 was distributed in money and stores to help suffering humanity. After the war the reorganized movement put on foot a different plan of work. The ownership of well adapted buildings and the employment of well-trained and paid officers; a central or national committee for general oversight and systematic supervision was appointed, also a committee to superintend the work of each state was appointed. That plan is still in effect to day, and as a result the moral unlift of young men all over the civilized world is A typical Young Men's Christian Association building contains a reception room, reading room, library, parlor, class rooms, lecture and entertainment room, gymnasium, in including a bowling alley and a pool and billiard tables both, a dressing room, rooms for boys, a janitor's den, restaurant, dormitories, and offices. The immediate head of such an organization is a secretary paid from $600 to $5,000 per year. He has specific charge of everything pertaining to said building. He collects membership fees, which vary in different associations, some $1.50 per month and some much less. The work of the secretary is practical and theoretical. He directs social gatherings, entertainments and games, he furnishes an employment bureau; he keeps a boarding house register; he keeps on hand a saving fund to help the poor, and is informed upon the best methods of maintaining good health. He has a medical club to direct those wishing scientific treatment for any physical disorder. For the systematic training of Y. M. C. A. secretaries, schools are located at Springfield, Mass., and Chicago, Ill. President Taft, who has made addresses at the dedication of more association buildings than any other man in this country, said in his address at the opening of the St. Paul, Minn., building on October 4, 1908, "I don't think that there is any institution outside of the church and schools that does more work of a direct beneficial character in strengthening the moral fiber of young men, in guiding them into proper and suc A.

A. being a men's distinct organization on. It has been observed that among boys and men the "going spirit" is everywhere prevalent. Students after school hours and men out in life enjoy being in groups. This spirit has been recognized to the extent that men's organizations have been formed and are being operated throughout Christendom. Some good and others not so good. The same in a measure is true of boys between the ages of twelve and eighteen. The men of society are inclined to be intensely practical.

Negroes everywhere face an industrial and educational problem and must work out a program on which to rest all the hopes and aspirations of the future. Every consideration of the fact requires and rapidly changing conditions demand it. These truths are evident in Tennessee as elsewhere. The general education and prosperity of the masses occupy the public mind more than anything else now. The "self-conscious class" has had its day and the reign of "the aristocracy of learning" is ended. School systems everywhere are seriously at work developing a new education suited for all rather than a few. All races need it and all races shall have it. In the years to come the new departure in education will prove a peculiar and special blessing to Negroes of the next generation. The public, professional and business people of the race are the advance guard of a newer Negro and a more prosperous race. They are a necessary addition to the life of any race. They are the standard bearers that must lead the race to higher heights and place it on a surer road of progress and keep it there. The advance guard of the race to day represents the dream in reality of the founders of Fisk, Atlanta, Howard, Roger Williams, Wilberforce, Taladge and the other great schools that have done and are doing so much in the development of the Negro. The future of the race depends very large upon the realization of the ideals of these people and in the light of the past and present the best is expected The path of duty lies plainly before the educated Negroes of the South. They do not have to proceed to find and do their duty in a zig-zag way, but can go straight ahead, aiming at a particular goal marked at the end of the way. Between these people and victory are the masses who have come to realize that some of the comforts and good things of life are intended for their enjoyment and that life is really worth living. But they must be shown the way. It must be done by those of the race who have had the favors heretofore or those who have been prepared for leadership must pay the price that all must forfeit who shirk duty. Industrial and business property certainly lie at the base of all other progress whether of city, state or nation. There can be none of it without a sound, substantial and efficient working class that can be relied upon as the very backbone of a strong body of citizens. If the business life of the Negro is to prosper, it must have efficient and well-paid labor as a background. If the professional life is to be properly maintained and supported, it must rest upon a substantial industrial foundation. From any viewpoint, the hope of the past, present and future of the Negro race must always begin and end with those who do the work of the world and bear its burdens and do the struggling. The hopes of the Negro physician, dentist, and druggist are centered as they ought to be in the Negro patients who must be looked to as a field for the practice of medicine. These men as a class cannot hope to find any joy or profit in practicing their professions among the members of any race. The old guard is rapidly passing awaf. The ranks are not being filled us as they ought to be. The Negro is losing ground as a skilled laborer in the fields he once controlled and there are no great evidences of his making any gains in callings which he has not followed hitherto. He is still the main source of unskilled labor supply, but the unskilled laborer is not the best money-earning class of any industrial order. There must be a forward march begun somewhere. Something must be done to supply the increasing wants of the race. It matters not what may be said to the contrary notwithstanding, there is always a social danger in an inefficient working class. It matters not of what race it is a part, if it is poorly fed, the working class is dissatisfied and a municipal burden. When labor is underpaid social problems are multiplied and personal and business safety are in danger. It should be remembered always, that the family life of the Negro people must be kept steadily moving upward in its intelligence and comforts. It cannot be done unless the men who are to make the homes are able to command good pay for the work they find opportunity to do. Work alone does not pay bills. Money is required for debts and the smaller ones earnings the less he has to work out the problems of home and life. The average day laborer of the Negro race does not earn enough to support a family. Something or somebody must be neglected. It may be the wife or the proper education and care of the children. In either case that means a misfortune and future shadow. Money taken for professional services from the man of small earning capacity is almost "blood-money" but the doctor must get his money or the sick will have no attention. A poorly paid and inefficient working class weakens any people infinitely, for men will not assume the responsibilities of married life at a time when they ought because there is no clear way ahead for fulfilling the obligations assumed. Now the eternal questions, "What is to be done about it all?" "How is the situation to be met?" It must be handled or there is the future of two classes of Negroes, the prosperous and improvident coming together in enmity, hatred and strife. That will mean the undoing of the work of the patriots who have wrought so well The NASHVILLE GLOBE helps the boy help himself.Call to see us at during the past fifty years for the uplifting of the race. There is also the possibility of a greater social snarl than the South has ever had on its hands before. Something has already been done but more can be to forestall the loss of confidence likely to result between the more prosperous and less successful classes of the race. Confidence means everything in race development. Without it there can be no racial solidarity and no well worked plan for race development. Negro business men should get together and work out their business plans for the good of all. In doing so, they should have regard for their moral obligations to society and their duty to the race of which they are a part. Professional men should organize for social betterment and the advancement of learning. The physician should not only keep something more in mind than the patient's fee and ability to pay, but should so regulate his fees that the hard struggling man of small daily wages can avoid the crushing financial effects of a serious illness in his family. If he fails to o do so, he defeats the purpose for which he was created, for every Negro has come out of our schools in the past forty years is in some way a product of philanthropy. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912. A PENNILESS BOY Is a nuisance to his father and a daily burden to his mother. At the age of three. "Papa, give me a penny." That is sweet music on the old man's ears; just a penny. One nickel will last almost a week. Four years old. "Papa, give me a dime; I want a ball and a bat." First time, "all right son." Delighted. Papa rolls the ball to son and wrenches his back trying to bat the ball. Next day. "Papa give me a quarter to buy a glove; I got to have a glove." Quarter comes forth, but not a word is uttered. Next day a bigger boy comes along, breaks the bat and throws the ball on top of the house, and it is lost. Dad comes home, has sup. per, lights his cigar and gets his paper to read. "Papa, I want a dime. That old boy broke my bat and threw my ball on top of the house and lost it." Dime comes forth, but following close onto it comes a little sermon from Dad that has often been heard. It goes like this: "Look here, boy! you are costing me more than you are worth." But such sermons don't help the situation. The boy must have his play-things. What are you going to do about it? Let us tell you. Send your boy to the Globe office and encourage him to sell newspapers and make enough money to buy his play toys and also give his mamma some money to put in the bank. Other boys are doing it why not yours? Few can deny it and make an intelligent proof to sustain the denial. Other things can be done also. Encourage a man at his work. It matters not what it is. It his means of livelihood and famill support and he should be made to feel a peculiar pride in it. The industrial problems of the Negro are being multiplied by the steady stream of low immigrants being poured into this country yearly. Where these people do not find opportunity to earn a living in competition with the Negro, they become a part of the community in some way and the very people whom the immigrant population has come to uproot, must help bear the burden of their support, as idlers or criminals. The idlers of every community can be put seriously to work or kept moving on. Without a doubt somebody feeds or supports the vagrant element of Negroes of any community and the good Negro citizens bear a part of the burden with the white people who are so often looked upon as the burden bears by "the cook and kitchen route." There is enough work in Tennessee for everybody to find something to do. Each person of working age should be at work at home or somewhere else. There will be less crime when the idling, criminally disposed element is 447 Fourth Avenue. North. kept on the go, either as self-supporting citizens or under the eyes of the officers of the law. There is always the hope of doing something with grown-up people. It is not always the case that have reached a point of moral turpitude where they are hopeless cases. Some are wrecks of time, but there are many who still have a chance to pass the rigid inspection and hard conditions imposed by the law of the survival of the fittest. The best that may be done can be done with these wavering, faltering products of our changed industrial life. The best work, however, can be done with the young people who fill the public schools of to-day. If they are properly prepared, the uncertainties of the future will pass away and the next generation of Tennessee citizens will be a greater honor to the state and race than the one preceding it. Nine-tenths of these never go beyond the grammar school but take their place early in the growing life of the state and follow whatever they find to do because of natural fitness for the opportunity offers. They become very largely the main body of the Negro citizens and out of their families must come all that is to make the future of the race grand and glorious. / If these young people can have their characters well developed, their hands, heads and hearts well trained for the duties of citizenship, the future will be secure. Every Negro boy and girl in the public schools of Tennessee should be taught something of the common things of life and made intelligent about their surroundings. Their education in the grammar schools should not close without the completion of some vocation that would make them self-supporting factors in the community where they reside from the very beginning. Each community should have its vocational course attached to the grammar schools and the courses should be arranged and adjusted to the opportunities likely to be offered the pupils where they reside. Add to this training a well organized apprentice system among the men and women well qualified as skilled laborers and a gradual but not violent pressure into fields of labors hitherto unoccupied by the people of the Negro race, then the next generation of Tennessee Negroes will find that they can live ever better than their ancestors under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States. There will be less vagrants, fewer professional beggars, a decrease in ```markdown ``` crime among Negroes, more work, better wages, more contentment, less strife, more Negro employers of Negro labor and increasing co-operation, happiness and good-will among all classes of Negroes and the opposite race. The country must now turn to the Democratic party, which has merely stood in a fortune position to receive the result of Republican discontent. Let us hope that the present prosperity of the country and its matchless advancement under Republican rule, may inspire the patriotism of the Democratic party to do nothing against the maintenance of the present order of things. Woodrow Wilson unquestionably an able man, whose mind is well balanced. While he acks experience and breadth of vision perhaps, yet the country is full of men whose advice and counsel can be retolled upon to help him in the struggle to ses to it that the hands on the face of the clock of progress are not set back. America is now a great world power. Among the nations of the earth its place is made; let us hope that the Great Finger of the Infinite who made us all inspire us to follow while He points the way—The Dallas Express.

Lewis. At a memorial service held at the Institutional Church in Chicago recently Dr. Charles E. Bentley, one of the foremost leaders of the race was the principal speaker last Sunday at a memorial exercises under the auspices of the Choral Study Club at institutional Church where the life and character of the late Samuel Coleridge Taylor was eugolized. The church was filled with Chicago's most representative business and professional men and women. One of the best literary and musical programmes ever heard i n the city was rendered on this occasion; each number was taken from some of the famous works of the noted composer. The occasion was argumented with the presence of Mr. Harrison Emanuel who rendered brilliantly and artistically a violin solo, "Deep River." Mr. Daniel Protheroe delivered a short address and charmingly rendered two tenor solos, (a) "Earth Fades, Heaven Breaks on Me" (b) "Weep Not, Beloved Friends." Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, one of the best trained soloists of our city rendered two solos (a), "Prayer" (b) "Dawn." Mrs. Mayme Marshall sang "When I am Dead, My Dearest." The Choral Study Club under the direction of Walter E. Gossett rendered two big numbers, "Hiawatha's Departure" and "The Blind Girl of Castel Gulle." Miss Gertrude Jackson was the Organist. At the close of the programme the following temporary officers were selected to make the memorial an annual occasion: Pedro Tinsley, President; Dr. Charles E. Bentley, Secretary; James S. Madden, Treasurer. Dr. Bentley began by saying that "The Music World lost a most distinguished member and the Colored people its most gifted musical genius on September 1st, 1912, in the death of Mr. Samuel Coleridge Taylor, of London, England. It is rare, indeed, that we, as a people, are called upon to pay tribute to exponents of the Arts of poetry and music, who belong to us by racial ties. For ages they have been the highest products of the more favored races with a heritage replete with oppressions are no more advantage.

Dr. Bentley save an accurate sketch of the life and character of the composer. He told of his associations with the great musical societies of London, he narrated minutely every song and cantata of Mr. Taylor and enunciated his powerful influence over the musical world. The speaker quoted the world's greatest musical journals upon the life and death of England's lamented son. Dr. Bentley told about Mr. Taylor's ciming ti America and how the members of his race honored him at Washington, D. C. and his brilliantly and elegantly the Choral Study Club of that city rendered "Hlawatha" much to the praise and satisfactin of the artist. The orator spoke of Mr. Taylor's visit to Chicago and the pleasure it came to him to occupy a box seat in the auditorium to hear Thomas Orchestra. Closing his eloquent address, Dr. Bentley said. "In this Kaleidoscopic review of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's life, by reason of the amenities I have been compelled to give only a hasty touch here and a smatter there. I fear I have given you but an incomplete picture. A full penportrait would have been impossible. But I hope enough has been given, incomplete as I feel it to be, to appeal to your imagination which can supply that whihh is lacking. In summing up the Life of this man three things must stand out in bold relief so that the clummsest observer may see, namely: His Character—His Genius and His Right t the Title of a Creative Artist. Of the first two I have spoken. Of the last I shall speak but briefly. Creation is the link that binds us to the Infinite. Its mysterious workings escape the shrewdest processes of human analyses.

It is the abode of poetry, of the rhapsodies of youth, of the hidden treasures of the arts.

The children of his brain were his musical creations that were given to the world—and the world is the better that they were born—Long may they live!' SUSAN B. ANTHONY Susan B. Anthony was one of the most aggressive advocates of woman suffrage during the past century. She was born at the foot of the Green mountains at South Adams, Mass., on February 15, 1820. Her father was a stern Quaker, and her mother, Lucy Read, was a Baptist. Her father was a cotton manufacturer, and the first dollar that Susan ever earned was in his factory. Though a man of wealth, the idea of self-support was early impressed on all the daughters of the family. In 1826 they moved to New York state, where the future eminent suffragist was educated in a select school in her father's house, until the age of 17, when she went to a boarding school in Philadelphia. Fifteen years of her life were spent in teaching school in different parts of New York state. Although superintendents gave her credit for the best disciplined school, and the most thoroughly taught schola's in the country, yet they paid her but $8 a month, while men received from $24 to $30. After fifteen years of faithful labor and the closest economy, she had saved but $200. This experience taught Susan the lesson of woman's rights, and when she read the reports of the first conventions, her whole soul responded to the new demand. Her earliest public work was in the temperance movement, and she began to form temperance *societies as early as 1848. It was through her influence that the first state temperance convention was called at Albany in that year. She attempted to join the women's movement with that of the "Acorn Brand" Oak Flooring 3-8 in. OAK CEILING at $1.00 Per hundred 13-16 in.

After a struggle, however, covering a number of years, women were finally permitted to speak and vote at the men's conventions; they were appointed on committees and were allowed to make reports on various subjects. From 1852 on, she was one of the leading spirits in every woman's convention, and was acting secretary that few women possess. She possessed a strong reverence for noble acts and words, and an active pity for those who came to her in distress. She was earnest, unselfish and true to principle. She was above the petty envy and jealousy that mar the character of so many other wise good women. She was always full of the work, before her, and went through and over whatever stood in her way. ill for the last few days, is better.

Thanks A politician whose early affiliations would not stand the search of a wooden microscope with a tin lens, whose shrewdness for exceeds either his honesty, foresight or wisdom; who was given a chance to redeem his questionable past, and was finally honored by a great President. When the man who honored him was retired to private life "The Cheese" was given still greater honors through the "boost" given him by the President. When his benefactor signified his intention of being a candidate for re-election, the "Cheese" flowed over to the opposition because the one he would serve would prove "cessler." Through the inexcusable error of his party he was allowed, or, rather, he assumed the power to dominate that which proved under his direction to be the "crookedest" national convention ever held in this country. Against the wishes of the better element in his party, and against the expressed will of the people, his tactics defeated his benefactor, and forced the re-nomination of the man Republican voters tried to swallow for the second time, and upon whom they choked on November 5th. The "Cheese" will go down in history as the dominant power in a disgraceful national convention, and as the virtual destroyer of an old and honorable political party.

LEADING THE WORLD Largest Negro Printing Plant the Race has. Most Complete in Every way. BY HENRY ALLEN HODD. M. B. REV. R. H. B'OYD. D. D. LL. D. Secretary-Treasurer National Baptist Publishing Board and Manufacturing Plant. MUNICIPAL FIRE DEPT. Printing Department National Baptist Publishing Board in 1898. Vol. VII. Proving the oft made assertion that Nashville leads the world as a religious center, the home of more religious Publishing concerns that sends like the sun shedding his mighty rays dispelling darkness, wholesome advice the world over, the following is reproduced from the Union Review: "Striking a note which has loud tones, and ascertaining that the fiscal year, now winding up, will bring out fact that will establish a new record for progress, the secretary of the Publishing Board, Rev. R. H. Boyd, declared upon his return from Florida, Georgia and Alabama that the past year and its work, when completed and put into his report, will convince the Negro Baptists throughout the United States that in spite of the severe winter, during which suffering was almost universal, the cold having penetrated the farthest South, and during the past spring when nearly every section in the South was visited by high waters, the progress of the Publishing Board, the increase of its publicatins and the solid support which has come from every section of the United States, West Indies, Central America, Mexico and Canada, was a convincing argument that the Negro Baptists were not letting the difficulties that might arise deter them from maintaining a publishing plant that was molding religious and racial sentiment that the weight of ceaseless ages could not tear down. A retrospective glance at the Publishing House, by departments, would be one of the most convincing, and perhaps the most interesting news items that could be given to the public. If one should stop over in Nashville who was real anxious to see the growth and development of the denomination, they could have their curiosity satisfied, their store of information supplied, and at the same time be filled with boundless racial enthusiasm. Negro men and women, boys and girls are at work, making what has often been declared that it was impossible for them to make—books of every description; operating the most intricate machinery; filling positions of skill NASHVILLE GLOBE. THE BREWERY and technique in the mechanical world, and at the same time dealing to a large extent, with the representa C tives of two and a half millions of Negro Baptists by handling thousands of letters daily. They mail millions of copies of periodicals annually, receipting and accounting for thousands of dollars. This gigantic institution, the direct outgrowth of the brain of National Baptist Publishing and Manufacturing Plant in 1907. an ex-slab from Texas, presents the marvel of the age. Imagination becomes a realization, after having read and heard so much about the Publishing House. If one walks up Second avenue, North, to the corner of Locust street, he is immediately confronted by a panorama of buildings, seven in number, one trestory, four two-stories and two one-story buildings, all made of brick, located on one-half of the block. The most imposing of these structures is the Administration Building. This is the first piece of property purchased and really the first in the United States ever deeded to the National Baptist Convention. This building and its lot are conservatively estimated as being worth $25,000. In the front of this building as you enter the office is the bookkeeping, assistant bookkeeping and cashier's department. Thousands of letters, special deliveries, registers and ordinary mail, are delivered at the cashier's desk each week. All letters not marked personal are received for and opened by the cashier, who, with her assistants, carefully opens each letter separately, notes the contents, marks the amount in blue peniln on the top, dates the letter and gives it its serial number. Thus, when a letter enters the Publishing Board containing money in any amount, it establishes and maintains a triple record. No letters are read in this department, but are distributed to the several department for which they are sent as designate National Baptist Publishing and M Books and accounts are also kept in this building, where not only skill, education and culture exist, but where the real high-class idea of commercialism reigns supreme. Adjoining the bookkeeping department, room 2, is the office of the assistant secretary, the general forman and their assistants. This room is spaciously arranged and neatly equipped. Visitors are always made welcome in this room, for it is said that no person, no matter how humble in appearance or how exalted in station, has ever been to the Publishing House without being shown through the plant if they so desired. The assistant secretary has charge of a deal of the correspondence, generally acting for the secretary, who is usually going from one department to another at all times. The general foreman has the over-sight of the entire manufacturing department, making bids upon printing of every description. He has long since been regarded as one of the most practical, thoroughly versed and competent printers that America has produced. An efficient stenographer and clerk occupy the same office where the work is depatched with neatness and precision. In the hall of the same building can be found all records touching upon all topics upon which letters have been written from time to time, together with a bound volume of every Sunday-school quarterly that has been published since the Publishing Board came into existence. The files of the National Baptist Publishing Board have created no little comment, as it has been said that Dr. Boyd can give the date and find the page of every important resolution, document or recommendation that has ever passed the National Baptist Convention since he has been secretary of the Publishing and Home Mission Boards of the Convention. The Stenographic Department is located in room 3. The stenographers, whose duty it is to take dictations from the chiefs of the various departments, sometimes taking hundreds of letters in a day, go back to this department where the best typewriters on the market are used, and transcribe the shorthand into English. These letters go into every nook and corner of the civilized world. On the second floor of the Administration Building are to be found the private office of the secretary of the Board and his quiet retreat. The secretary only ascends these stairs to hold conversations and consultations that cannot be held in the main office. The remainder of this building is used as a dormitory. Just behind this office building, on the same lot, is another two story building, the first floor being the stock room. This room seismos has in it less than two carloads of paper, from which books, quarterlies and every other kind of job coming out from the nation's mammoth institution in the printing line, is made. It was recently learned from Dr. Eoyd that he is compelled each October to contract for a sufficient amount of paper to manufacturing Plant in 1907. print millions of copies of periodicals to be sent out during the year, and that the cost of paper during the year, and that the cost of the paper alone reaches to more than $30,000.00 annually. The second floor of this building is the mailing or packing room for a second-class matter. Here Sunday school pridicals. Bible picture rolls, picture lesson cards, catechisms and unbound books of every description can be found waiting their turn to be placed in the mail sacks after they have been wrapped into packages of various sizes, according to the desires of the customer who sends in the order Here also will be seen the complete mailing list of the Union-Review, the official organ of the National Baptist Convention. The subscription books, mailing list set up in regular liontype metal, and the mailing galleries for sending out this publication are stored away on tris floor in long zinc galleys, from which the names of the subscribers are stamped with the time expiration. A veritable post-office is operated in this department. The mail is distributed into the sacks by states each day, a separate sack being made up for the principal states, such as New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. On days when there is not enough mail in the northern and western states to fill any of these sacks, these states are put together. Some days more than a hundred sacks ```markdown ``` SCHOOL of mail go to the post-office part facilitating the dispatch making from four to six auto-trucks mail much behind. The post-office department insists upon the Publishing Board making these dispatches, as Nashville is one of the largest publishing centers in the world, being headquarters for about twelve denominational publishers, hence the mails are often congested and the force of clerks in the post-office, notwithstanding the assistance received by such concerns as books, Bibles, Sunday-sunday, the National Baptist Publishing Board THE MUSEUM Administration Building National Baptist Publishing Board in 1898 facilitating the depatches, throws the mail much behind The building at 521 Second avenue, North, contains the editorial department, the book house and chapel. The entire bottom floor of this building is occupied, first, by the office of the chief mailing clerk who, with his assistants, has entire charge of the sending out of all the second, third and fourth-class mail matter. All the song books, Bibles, Sunday-school helps and Sunday-school requisites and publications published by the Board and other firms and handled by the Board from time to time, are stored in this building. The chief mailing clerk is compelled to keep posted upon the rise and fall in the prices of publications; to keep an accurate record of every order received. The clerkls file the letters under the name of the state, the name of the sender and also every order accompanied by money received by the Publishing Board. It is impossible, notwithstanding this accurate filing system to look up an order when the name of the sender and the date of the order sent in are not known. In other words, those who write complaints or refer to orders are requested and it is suggested that do not use the name of the Sunday-school as a guide for finding the order, but that they give the name of the party who sent the order, stating the date it was sent and the amount of money sent. In this department shelves on two walls are completely filled from top to bottom with letter files. One clerk is always kept busy looking-up, verifying and filling orders and getting the data about complaints that may have reached the institution. For the present quarter the mailing department has filled, over twenty-two thousand orders. In this same department and under this same chief mail clerk all letters are read over and labels are made in duplicate, the duplicate being retained in the order book, while the original order is filed away. The number of the order remains in the bookkeeper and cashier's department on their taille sheet, maintaining the same triple record first mentioned.

Located as it is in the heart of the South, it affords a fine situation for all denominations, and about every known faith has established a church in our city. Churches are always a means of refining enlightenment to any community. The influence of the building itself is of a most elevating nature. There is always a sacredness, which goes along with a church building. Churches of nearly every known denomination are found among the Negro population of Nashville. Dotted all over the city can be found structures, from the one-room of some tenement, used by some followers, to the most modern and up-to-date houses of worship. Several of the church buildings are very spacious two-story bricks, with seating capacities or about 1,800, and are easily worth $100,000. Many of these churches are worth $50,000 and have seating capacities of from five hundred to one thousand five hundred, while most of the smaller ones have seating capacities of from one hundred to five hundred and are worth from $500 to $5,000. The valuation of the colored churches of Nashville reaches easily the nillion-dollar mark and their valuation is being augmented greatly each day by the installation of many new practical appliances such as steam, dry heat and hot air apparatuses, opera chairs in the Sun day-school rooms, massively carved church pews in the main auditoriums pipe organs and all of the other modern appointments. Several new churches are now under construction, one of which is a concrete building in Southwest Nashville, which when completed will present a most imposing edifice. According to statistics, as compiled for the city, there are in Nashville two hundred and twenty-four church buildings and ninety-one of these are colored. The Baptist denomination leads the list with fifty-one churches, including both Missionary and Primitive. Aside from having the largest number of churches, the Missionary Baptists are their headquarters in this city. Their Publishing Board, which operates the largest Negro printing plant in the world, is here. They also have a Baptist Young People's Union, Home Mission and Educational Boards here. The office of their official organ, the Union-Review, is in our city. They also have in Roger Williams University their Baptist school. Next come the Methodists, A. M E. C. M. E. and M. E., with twenty-three churches. The African Methodists also have their great and modern printing plant located in Nashville. From this plant is printed and sent out the Southern Allenite. The headquarters of their Sunday-School Department and Allen Endeavor League is domiciled with this plant. Each Methodist denomination has a resident bishop in our city. The other denominations represent are the Campbellites or Christians with four churches, the Church of By Miss. Nellie E. King. God also has four edifices. The Congregationalists have three churches, and in Fisk University, which has a world-wide reputation, have their great school, also located here. The Episcopalians have two churches and the Presbyterian two churches. The Catholics have one church and their school known as School of the Immaculate Mother, is located here. The Seven-Day Adventists have one church. An Interchurch College is also domiciled here, hence besides being represented by churches, the various denominations are represented in schools and publishing houses, making of our city a great educational center and headquarters for sending religious literature to all the world. These ninety-one churches have membership enrollments of from fifty up into the thousands. The average attendance of these churches is about ten thousand a Sunday, while the average collection is possibly $1,000 a Sunday. The Sunday-school enrollment of these churches range from fifty to seven hundred children with an average attendance of possibly four thousand. Nashville can boast of some of the oldest colored churches in the state. The Baptists had their origin in 1853 under Rev N. G. Merry. Their first building or the Old Church, which is still standing on Pearl street, was replaced by the magnificent edifice on Eighth Avenue, North. Once since its construction it was burned, but phoenix-like arose from the ashes and is now the proud heritage of Baptists. Summer street Church, located on Fifth avenue, South, is another one of the pioneer churches, having been fathered by the venerable Revs. Bransford and Buchanon. The other Baptist churches, all of which are domiciled in handsome and conveniently arranged buildings, are of more recent origin. The African Methodist Episcopals have in St. John their pioneer church. This church and St. Paul are among the largest and most valuable churches in the city, both having large memberships and excellent property holdings. In the last few years the Primitive Baptists have bestrilled then selfs greatly. Their oldest and most valuable church is located on Broadway, one of the main thoroughfares and resident sections of some of the wealthiest white people of the city. This imposing structure is the First Primitive Baptist Church. The four Campbellite churches are all excellent buildings. The Lea Avenue Christian Church, which possibly has the largest membership, has a building of the most modern structure, having separate Sunday-school and church departments on one floor. The oldest Christian church is still located on Gay street, and is now taking on new life and making itself felt in the city. The Presbyterians can well boast of one of the prettiest churches in the city. This edifice was only recently completed and is, the pride of the Negroes and the denomination as well as an adornment to the city. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912. To sum up, the colored churches of Nashville are the pride of the citizens and give dignity and valuation to the race. The relations between the denominations are perfectly harmonious, the spirit of helping each other is very prevalent. The city is doubly paid from the brotherly love and neighborly feeling taught from the ninety-one pulpits of the churches in Nashville. The following beautiful tribute makes a most fitting close for our article, as the churches of our city are all founded on the rock—Jesus Christ, who is author and finisher of all things. May the beneficent influences diffused from these churches of the many denominations teach us that "The church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ the Lord; She is his new creation By water and the word: From heaven he came and sought her To be his holy Bride." Agricultu State Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 12, 1912. The First Session of the A. & I. State Normal School for Negroes opened with Teachers' Summer Session, June 19th, continuing three weeks, under the direction of the State Board of Education. There was in attendance at this session more than two hundred and fyth enthusiastic teachers, from various sections of Tennessee and other States. The Fall Term began September 18th, 1912, with an enrolment of two hundred and thirty students, all grades above the third. Since that time the enrollment has increased to three hundred and forty and is fast approaching neighboringETAOINN approaching four hundred. Every section of the State, as ewil as neighboring States are represented among the student body. A large number of the students are working their way through school. The Dormitories are nearly filled to their capacity. Before the school opened, it was announced that board would be given the students at about six dollars a month. Considering the high cost of living this was a hazardous proposition, but by very careful management the school has succeeded thus far in providing good substantial table fare at the price named. The food is wholesome and at all times prepared and served under sanitary conditions, nearly all of the work being done by students. The students are very appreciative of the equipment given by the State and are endeavoring at all times and under all circumstances to beautify the buildings and grounds. This has been shown by the spirit with which they entered into the work of "Clean Up Day" which was planned and assisted in by all the members of the Faculty. Since that time there have been several such days on which all again co-operated in the work, bringing about a vast heave in the appearance of the campus. In fact the spirit in a general way existing among the students, among the teachers, and between the teachers and the students is an admirable one.

The Domestice Art and Science Departments are making it possible for the student to have both theory and practice in sewing and cooking. More than two hundred are enrolled. Dormitories and Home Training The young and young women are exceptionally fortunate in having such modren and comfortable quarters. The buildings are three store brickss with steam heat, electric lights, bathrooms, with hot and cold water, sixty-six outside large, bright and well ventilated bedrooms, with two large clothes closets in each. Each room is furnished with shades iron enameled beds, springs, mattress, dresser, washstand, center table, a straight chair and rocker. The young people have taken enough pride and interest in their rooms to buy window and closet curtains, dresser, table and stands covers, they have fitted up at their expense reading room, and hospital rooms, cost of which is thirty dollars. All the work in the buildings is done by the young men and young women students, under the supervision of two excellent Matrons, who rotate the work so as to give a complete round of housekeeping and nurseries training experiences to each boy and girl, and at the same time hold before them a high standard of living Nearly all girls and boys do their own laundering. Our aim is to make the life, as lived here, a model for students as home makers. The Academic Department The purpose of the Academic Department of the State Normal School is to give the pupil a good moral and educational foundation, and a thorough knowledge of all public school subjects, not only from the pupil's view point but also from the standpoint of having him teach others, in every branch of work, self-activity real work, accuracy and neatness are emphasized. The subjects considered fundamental in this department are Reading. English and Arithmetic because they are so essential to those who are being trained as teachers. Realizing key of it," every history lesson, every class in Science, every Geography recitation becomes a Grammar class, a Reading class, a Spelling class, a time not only to give knowledge and to discover how much the pupil he knows. The Department of Agriculture This department is laying a foundation which it hopes will prove to be the basis of a better farm economy throughout the entire state of Tennessee. Theoretically, we hope to teach the Agriculture according to its most scientific principles and embody both Zootechny Agronomy. We are organized the school farm to serve farm will embody as many branches as are consistent with good business the truth, of the statement, "Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the and cover in its scope the larger agril as a model for practical farmers. The cultural interests of the State. It plans to supply all the Dairy and Garden products consumed by the school as well as all its bacon and veal. A slaughter house and curing establishment will be connected with the farm Under the auspices of this department will be conducted extension work, farmers institutes and corn clubs, the State over. It shall be the especial functions of this department to organize and foster the home garden and poultry raising in the back yards and on vacant lots of city dwellers. This simple scheme alone will save annually to the citizens of the State of Tennessee the initial cost of the Normal. The Mechanical Department TheSchool offers courses in the following trades: Carpentry, Blacksmithing, and Wheelwrighting, Painting, Bricklaying and Plastering, Plumbing, Shoemaking, and Cabinet-making. Mechanical Drawing is given as a part of the training of all trades except the Shoemakers and they have Freehand Drawing instead. The advantage of entering this department is that one can take a trade by logical and systematic steps from beginning to end. It is not enough for a person to be styled a good workman, who ephraps is able to perform a good job of work after it is laid out for him by a more competent hand; the workman of to-day must understand the principles of his trade and be able to apply them in practice. The aim of the department will be to prepare students to fill positions as first class WHEN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT GO AND SEE Prof. W. G. HYNES and he will give you positions of all kinds.

In the rear of the mailing room thousands and thousands of volumes of books of every description are stored. Devices for rallies, Metokas and Galedas supplies, Sunday-School Congress requisites are sent out from this department. In room 3 the first floor all of the third and fourth-class matter is put up. The walls of this room are one continual round of shelves upon which are to be found every kind of publication, certificate and book published and sent out, some being made for other concerns. Express packages, freight boxes in large quantities go out from this department Wagon loads of packages can be seen to pull out from the back door of this department every day on their way to the office to be despatched to the four corners of the United States. In the front of the building on the second floor will be found the offices of the editorial secretary, superintendent of teacher-training course, the editor of the Union-Review, the field secretary, and their assistants and stenographers. The Sunday-School Commentary is written, arranged and compiled in this building. The standard of the denomination's literature and our Sunday-School work is here agreed upon. The plan of the missionary work as it effects the denomination is here carefully gone over by the field secretary. The denomination's official organ, the Union-Review, gets it send-off and is supplied with its editorial matter from this building. In the next and largest portion of the second floor is the chapel. It is a real church, equipped with the National Baptist organ, voiced to suit Negro congregations, a splendid feat achieved by the late Prof. Wm. Rosborough. The Board claims the distinction of having the only real voiced instrument on the market for any particular race. Only song books, published by the Board, are found in the chapel. Each week a different set of song books is used so that the employees of the Publishing Board become familiar with the music in all of the books published by the Board. The Bible is read in a systematic way, thus maintaining the Daily Home Reading habit and at the same time enabling the employees of the Board to go through the Bible every six years. Thirty minutes are given to devotion and prayer service. Every wheel stops, every employee suspends work and comes into the chapel, where the services are usually conducted by the editorial secretary, joined by the superintendent of teacher-training, editor of the University and all the employees. It is understood that this hour of prayer shall not only be respected but must be attended. Dr. Boyd once stated that upon this had rested his success. for he had been very particular to see it that the Lord was thanked for his loving kindness and tender mercy toward the denomination and toward himself. He stated that to hold these services each day entailed a cost of about $17.50, but he declared the Board had found it the most profitable investment since the establishment of the institution. From this building the next is a three-story structure with a basement. In the basement a mammoth kettle for melting and remelting metal of various kinds used in sterotyping, linotyping and elestropotyping is found. A vault with huge iron fire and burglar proof doors is located in this department, in which are thousands of pages of copyrighted books, song books and other publications, plates belonging to individuals and other publishers upon which the Publishing Board holds publishers' rights. BENJAMIN DOWD Assistant Secretary National Baptist Publishing House and Manager of the Negro Doll Co. On the first floor will be seen the mammoth printing presses, by whose revolutions from day to day for the past sixteen years it is estimated that more than ten billions of pages of denominational literature have been printed and carried throughout the United States. On three of these mammoth cylinder presses there are attached automatic self-feeding machines, the first to be owned and operated by any Negro concern in the world. Each of these presses represents an outlay of $5,000. The huge Scott All-Sized Rotary Press, a piece of machinery valued at $18,000, capable of turning out, at maximum speed, ten thousand impressions per hour, in two colors, is found. This was the first machine of its kind ever owned and operated by Negroes in the world. Job presses and make-ready presses are also on this floor.

Three folding machines, two stitching machines, one Smyth book sewing machine, one embossing machine, where gold and silver embossing can be placed upon the books, two huge paper-trimming machines, one rotary paste board cutter, one perforating machine and a roller back machine, glue pots and book binding tables and book presses are on this floor. This department is under the skilled management of trained book binders. The chief of this department, however, like those in the other departments, learned the trade and received his experience as a beginner at the National Baptist Publishing Board. On the third floor of this building is situated the composing room, linotype department and proof-reading room. Three linotype machines click regularly under skillful operation or management of three operators, who for speed and accuracy have not been excelled; one Washington hand press, upon which is printed the best silk and satin banners; type in every description, from the smallest to the largest show bill type, five imposing stones, and a competent force of compositors, imposers and job printers under the management of a foreman, who also came up from the devil boy to foreman in this institution. In the proof-reading room the proof-readers have by years of actual experience been able to cope with those of any establishment. Long since, the Publishing Board has established itself and made its own name in the proof-reading world. The lamented Charles H. Burrill, who perhaps spent forty years in the printing business, was the pioneer Negro proof-reader and printer of the United States. He came South where he was known as the father of Negro printers, and trained these proof-readers. The next building occupies lots 517 and 519. In the front is the display and show room of church supplies, pews, pubs and other church furniture. The opposite room is occupied by the National Negro Doll Company, with a magnificent supply of Negro dolls ranging in sies from 12 to 36 inches in height. In this building are the wood-working machines of the very best make on the market, where anything from a collection plate to the very highest grade church pews are made and sent out to scores of churches each year. In the rear of this building, at 517, is a two-story brick, the first floor is used for patterns, teneting machines, cutting, fitting and moticing machines, glue and veneering presses, glue pot pans, etc. with the office of the foreman. The second floor is used for finishing and upholstering. In the rear lot No. 519 is the boiler house, engine rooms, electric plant. All the buildings are lighted with electricity manufactured by the Publishing Board. The plant is heated with steam in winter and the entire machinery is propelled by the power furnished from an 85-horse power boiler with a sixty-foot stacker, and the other forty-five horse power, are used in connection with the plant. A mammoth auto truck hauls the mail and delivers the boxes and packages to and from the freight office. To reinforce this, is the National Baptist horse and wagon for lighter deliveries. A trusted and competent night watchman makes regular rounds throughout the night to keep watch upon the property and the buildings. The business men of the city of Nashville look upon the plant as one of Nashville's deserving enterprises. Banks and financial institutions have learned from years of contact to respect their credit and apply for some which come orders from every portion of the know world. A splendid record was scored by the Church Supply Department several months ago when it shipped on a through bill of lading a half car of church furniture from Nashville direct to Marshall, Liberia, West Coast Africa, thus establishing a new commercial record for Nashville. It is estimated that the running expenses of the Publishing Board are in the neighborhood of $400 per day. All of this has by courtesies from the smaller, as well as larger churches and Sunday-schools, been able to help the secretary, founder and manager in the maintaining and establishing of credit; it also adds dignity and sustains a commercial rating for the denomination in the business world. A glance at the report of Dr. Boyd made at Houston this year shows an actual expenditure of $182,000, all coming from the trade and patronage of the thousands of constituents from every state in the Union. The Publishing House is a monument to the Negro Baptists of the world, "a Door of Hope" to the race in the business arena. SOUVENIRS GIVEN AWAY. The National Negro Doll Company Prepares Favors For Every One In the City of Nashville In the City or Nashville. On Monday, December 2nd, there will be held in the city of Nashville, perhaps, one of the most unique openings that has ever been given by a Negro institution in the city. The National Negro Doll Company has arranged with the National Baptist Publishing Board to give a two-color souvenir post card to every person in the city who call for one. Fifteen thousand cards, on which is printed a motto that could be appropriately framed and hung in the homes of all the Negroes in the Country. This souvenir post card, declares the President of the National Negro Doll Company, will at least do two things. First, it will help the Negroes of Nashville to observe Post Card Day, which has been urged by the Board of Trade and set aside as the fist day of January, and on which day the people of the city are supposed to send to their friends throughout the United States, a card from Nashville telling something concerning the city of Nashville. This post card will go out telling something of This company has on deposit at the One-Cent Savings Bank sufficient funds to guarantee the return of all monies when orders can not be filled. oklet Compa Nashv pany hville, Tenn. two of the greatest institutions owned and operated by Negroes in the world. First, it is a National Negro Doll Souvenir Post Card, second, it is being published by the National Baptist Publishing Board, a Negro concern; last, if not the least thing it will do, it will carry a message of pride, light and hope to those who have decided long since that there was no future for the young or coming generation.

The company has gone to an en- ormous expense to get these cards up, Not another firm in Nashville will hand out a greater quantity of these cards than will the Negro Doll Com- pany.

Call and get your post card at the National Ea- ptist Publishing Board, 523 Second ave- nue, North, Nashville Tenn. Office hours from eight a. m., to five p. m., commencing Monday, November 25th According to the city bureau, or to information obtained from the Nashville city directory, it is seen that there are two hundred and twenty-four organized churches of all denominations in the city of Nashville, which the United States Government gives as a population for 1910 a little more than one hundred and ten thousand. These churches are scattered in every part of the city. It is indeed interesting to those not acquainted with conditions to stop long enough to make a little study as to the supporters of the congregations that go to make up these two hundred and twenty-four organizations of denominal houses of worship. Some have been very loud in their arguments that the Negro was not making rapid improvements along religious, moral and financial lines, while others have been equally as loud in their praise for the remarkable success and the great showing that has been made, in so short a time, by the members of the race. To those well informed there is no need for advancing the argument that the Negro has not succeeded and built up faster in his religious line and perhaps even in any other avocation than any other people. Some would point, no doubt, to the number of prisoners incarcerated in the prisons, and to the criminal record of the Negro, but all of these could be easily offset, if it were taken into consideration that, handicapped as he is in every respect, the ratio of the criminal found in the race is but a small percentage with all of the circumstances taken under consideration concerning trial judge, prosecuting attorney, jury and officers of the law, in which he is seldom if ever given representation. But it can be said that were it not for the religious influences thrown around the Negroes in his home as well as in his business life, the ratio would be alarming on the other side.

Nashville perhaps enjoy a distinction that will hardly be found in any other the city in the United States, four out of these two hundred and twenty-four churches in the city, he has a claim and can point with pride to ninety-one of that number. While this is more than one-third of all the churches in the city, he is not one-third of the population. Hence, the religious influences that are being thrown around the race as a whole in Greater Nashville are greater than from a percentage point of view than that of the Caucasian. This, too, has been accomplished within a comparatively short while. Old residents of the city declare that twenty years ago there but ten Negro churches in the city of all denominations and that this growth of eighty-one in less than a score of years is an achievement and an accomplishment, together with an advancement that must challenge the admiration of cities much larger, which boast of a greater percentage of Negro population.

The logical Headquarters of this Association which held its last meeting in Chica £0. Ill, in the month of August, is Nashville, Tenn, ‘The election of Henry Allen Boyd as Corresponding Secre- tary, whose duty it is to keep alive the interests of the association, as ‘well as keep in touch with the hun- dreds of newspapers now being pub- Uished, will put Nashville before a Jarger number of publishers, as the Secretary is already “on the job,” sending out scores of letters not only to the Executive Committee but to ithe members and affiliated newspa- pers. All are showing a deep inter- est in the great plans that are being piished for the enlargement of the As- fociation, which has for its motto, “or the Highest Development of Ne- gro. Journalism.” ‘While the President of the Assocl- ation in che person of R. W. Thompson, ig located a the nation’s capital, the ‘Treasurer, John L.

Y., they are already Jooking forward to the accomplish: “ment of great things. ‘The Corre: ‘sponding Secretary has plans under way, which are not altogether in em- ‘ryo and if pushed will mean a Press Association in reality. ‘The purpose ‘of the Association is to unify and so- lidify the larger interests of the news Papers in so far as the Press is con cerned, which have not been attempt ed heretofore. One of the first plans to be pushed to a successful culmination,” says the Corresponding Secretary after, a Jengthy correspondence with the Pres: ident and the Chairman of the Exec utive Committee, “will be the com- piling and {suing of a National Nezro Newspaper Directory, a publication that will give the name of every Ne- gto newspaper and magazine pub: lished in the United States, the party ‘by whom and the city in which the publication is issued, with the name ‘and address, as far as can be obtained, of the Editor, Associate Editor and Business Manager. Tt will also attempr to show the amount of capital stock | authorized and paid, if published by @ publishing company, or the amount of capital stock invested in machinery, type and printing paraphernalia ‘owned by the paper.” ‘The Press Association at Chicago went on record as favoring such a movement, thus in carrying ou, the wishes of the organization, the Cor- responding Secretary and the Presi dent have individually endeavored to get the plan on foot as rapidly as possible. ‘Other plans, according to Presl- dent Thompson, will be the form: Ing of a plate and reciprocal news service and standardization of advertising matter for the Ne gro Press and papers throughout the Ynited States. Underlying all of this, declares Secretary Boyd, before many years elapse, will come the daily newspaper for the black man with a complete news service that that will handle news for the Ne: gro daily press as is being han- died now for the white daily newspapers. It is stated that the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies are now willing to listen to propositions whereby news for the Negro press can be handled on “the Delayed Telegraph Plan,” that is to| say that news of importance from every section of the United States is to be picked up and sent to the va rious newspapers, such as they wish py Thursday morning of each week, fn a way that will prove interesting reading matter to the patrons of the Negro press, and thereby increase the circulation af the various newspapers throughout the country, In other worils there will be a general getting together of the officers of the Press Association, the men who do not only publish and operate newspapers, but those who have and are still spend. ing their tine “furnishing the dope” for the press throughout the country, ithe active newspaper correspondent. ‘The appearance of the official sta: tionery of the Association that has fust been issued, discloses the fol- lowing officers: | R.

Dear Sir: Tt was very kind of you to take so much of your ..me in replying to my. personal letter of some few days ago, in which I invited you to become an active member of the National Ne- gro Press Association, Your reply, really at first glance, appears to be in the nature of declining the invita- tion, to co-operate in the work of the Negro Press Association, and yet it assumes a different aspect when you read it over carefully and study its contents. IT say this because I am well acquainted with the splendid et- forts you have put forth as a leader and believe that you are heart and soul in the movement, which has in its every feature, and air the highest development of Negro Journalism. “T want to admit that for the past four years, the National Negro Press Association has met, elected officers and adjourned, but this was the old order of things, and notwithstanding this order of things did obtain, I sin: NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912, Sete eee ee eee sees ss eseeeeeeeee ts a4 Pees rete Sheth $ee $e ——— $$ NI | egro Press) ie e 6 clation.

It can be be readily seen that the aim of the Association can be summed up in one motto—"For the Highest Development of Negro Jour- nalism.” Whatever this means and whatever this covers will be our aim and purpose. “One of the first things, however, ‘to claim the attention of the Executive Comittee will be the perfecting of a news service to be operaied on the leas expensive plan that will serve the best interests of the hundreds ot newspapers that ere published week: ly, sen.i-weekly, monthly and quarterly throughout the United States.

We are offering at a sacrifice to those who desire to take advantage of it a book that has made a splendid record for the past years, known as "How to Preach with Power." The book is good for young, theological students, licensed and ordained ministers and not bad for older ones. Its author is one of the forceful ministers of today. This book has had a splendid run being in its third edition. We have bought in the entire edition at a great expense in order that our patrons may have the benefit of the revised book.

Nashville, Tennessee SEND THE ORDER IN TODAY SO THAT IT MAY BE FORWARDED YOU AT ONCE It is the opinion of the writer that the Nashville Negro Board of Trade bids fair to become a most constructive and important organization among our people. The concern can be, as but few other organizations found among the colored citizenship, instrumental in the ambleable adjustment of any and all differences which may arise from time to time between white man and black man, and which, in itself, would be worth while, to say nothing of the opportunity offered for friendly co-operation with the "powers that be," thus securing for cur people many advantages that would never, perhaps, come to us, or to say the least, would be slow of arrival. The Negro Board of Trade has within its membership nearly every business, professional and industrial colored man in the community. Every good colored citizen residing in Nashville may become a member. It is non-sectarian and non-political in its nature and it stands for the interests of Nashville in general and for the Negro race in Nashville in particular. Its aim is to help advance the sanitary and all other helpful conditions of the city, likewise, its educational facilities. In all of its efforts effecting the welfare of the people of Nashville it has been assured of the hearty co-operation and help of the white Board of Trade and other organizations among the white citizens. Community Spirit. The Negro people, like their white neighbors, have found out that they are no longer ruralites, but urbanites, and they are really sitting up and taking notice of their surroundings. Community life is beginning at least to be understood better in some communities than in others, and, in comparing notes, we find that where community life is best understood, community living is most worth while. The Negro Board of Trade aims to make the community life co-operative life, by making it better understood among her people. It has been charged that the Negro people give but little thought to the community as a whole. It is a case of "every fellow take care of AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

WELLINGTON BERRY himself and the devil take the hindmost." The good colored citizen even simply pays his taxes, supports his church and home, but forgets his debt of citizenship. He is so engrossed in his own affairs until he never stops to think about his service to his community—whether he has adequate light, police or fire patrol, paved streets, street car accommodation, or does he stop to investigate whether the rates are exhorbitant, and if the service is not adequate, he does not bother to help correct it. The Negro Board of Trade hopes to bring about a civic awakening among our people that a new patriotism and a love of the city will be inspired. It believes that a city, as regards its colored citizens, will be what the colored citizens make it or permit it to be. The Negro Board of trade is struggling to have the community live up to its opportunity and not to remain independent and give no heed to its fellow individuals or to the common welfare of all. It believes that when its colored citizens are united, organized and appreciative of the fact that the community is as desirable as the colored people are making it, and that upon the shoulders of all rests equally the burden of responsibility for existing community conditions, then the community is progressive and is a creature of design and of concerted, in intelligent effort. If the community spirit prevails and the Negro Board of Trade is working hard and ardously to make it so, all of the colored citizens of Nashville will work together for the community welfare and uplift. Development Organization "Introduce me to your Board of Trade and I will tell you what kind of town you have." This rather startling statement is said to have been made by a prominent student of community life. Vital truth is contained in the statement and it has come to be recognized by men whose lives have been devoted to contrasting community conditions in various towns and cities of the country.

NOVEMBER 22. 1912 Association—no matter what the name—a development organization tells the story of the presence or absence of the community spirit in proportion to the interest and support it is receiving from the citizens of the community. The Negroes of Nashville are beginning to realize as never before that as their white neighbors have found out, they, too, need development organizations, such as the Negro Board of Trade; that such an organization should and must have the hearty support and active personal, co-operation of its membership and such membership must include the men in the community whose interests are bound up in the community and who have influence among their fellowmen. They are beginning to realize more and more that community organization is business and that it will pay in Nashville among the colored citizens and will pay pay best when every Negro will get into the development organization and do his pros, for as the community prospers, the individual community morals are at a low ebb, so the morals of the community is destined to be. If for the community is sanitary, its people are healthy, Community organization is not a matter of sentiment, but is the biggest business, the writre-thinks, that the Negro men of Nashville can engage in. It pays the largest dividends for the amount of time and energy invested. It has paid every community that has gone about it in a business-like way. It will pay the citizenship of Nashville. Can you imagine anything undertaken for the good of Nashville and for her colored citizens that wouldn't go through, if every Negro man in the city believed in himself and in his city, and belonged to the Negro Board of Trade, an organization which stands for the city and for Nashville Negroes; belonged to the Negro Board with his whole heart and not in a perfunctory, critiquing way?

Think what it would mean to the Negroes of Nashville had we such a development organization! Some Plain Talk There is a kind of spirit that never got a town anywhere nor its people. It's for lack of the necessary moral and financial support from enough of the citizens of the community. In Nashville, as in all other communities, there are community debtors. They always want the other fellow to do the work while they selfishly buckle down to their private affairs and try to get everything they can out of the community without putting anything in or else they announce with much gusto that they are not going to join until they see what the organization does. It is not a question of seeing what the other fellow does with such an organization as the Nashville Negro Board of Trade. It's what am I doing? What are you doing? What can we all do working together to advance the interests of all of the Negroes of Nashville and the interests of our community in general? Nashville Negroes have a development organization. It is known as the Nashville Negro Board of Trade. It can be made the one bunch of live wires to do something for this race and town of ours. The question is, Do you belong to it? If not, what excuse have you for letting the other fellow do all the work while you get the benefit? The Negro Board of Trade is asking, if you are a member, are you a worker? The man who is really of use to a community is the fellow who gives himself—some of his time, some of his brains, some of his initiative and energy—to an organization like the Negro Board of Trade composed of Negro men who have interests IN COMMON. SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION "What is the duty of a Sunday-School teacher at the home," was the subject under discussion at the regular meeting of the Sunday-School Union last Sunday afternoon. The Fairfield Baptist Church and Sunday-School were entertaining the meeting. The pastor of the church, the Rev. Majors, was assigned to the exposition. One of the largest crowds in the history of the Union were present. It was agreed that the next meeting would be held with the W. Sixth Street Baptist Church. E. Nashville, and that the committee to arrange the program would meet at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church on November 24th. The matter of looking after the Sunday-school work at the State Penitentiary was taken up and the Union went on record as favoring the carrying of the gospel in prison walls. Chairman Lewis, announced that the Secretary of the Publishing Board, Rev. Dr. Boyd, would furnish the literature for the conducting of the school, if the nion would send competent teachers that the state would honor to instruct the prisoners.

Kayne Ave. and Grand 12th Ave., N. and Jo Johnston A BRIEF STORY OF THE LIEF AND DEATH OF THE WORLD'S MOST WONDERFUL FREAK OF NATURE. In a recent issue we gave a brief notice of the death of Milline Christine, the world-famous colored twin sisters, who were united from the walst down, but with separate legs. They were undeniably the greatest human wonder ever known, and have travelled and exhibited all over this country and the Old World, and been seen by the crowned heads of Europe. Having two virgins, but only one rectin, they were one person formed in two parts, their minds and sensibilities being nearly alligned. They would start conversing on different subjects, but soon their minds would blend together, and they would drift into the same topic, showing that their mental faculties, as well as bodies, were closely alligned. If one had a dream the other knew it. One sister would walk on two legs and easily carry the other, or they could use three legs in walking, but they could not get around by using one leg from each. But they could walk around as readily as any one, going up and down stairs. They were well educated, speaking five languages. They were pure Negroes, one being a little darker than the other. Their mother was a large fleshy woman, with arm as large as a man's thigh, but the father rather small and slender. Both are dead. They leave a sister and two brothers, one Preston McKoy, being born on the ocean when the mother was bringing the twins back from England. There is nothing unusual about the formation of other members of the family. One sister was named Millie and the other Christine, but they signed with both, connected by a hyphen. They took the name of their former owner McKoy, as did most slaves after Emancipation. These noted twins were 61 years of age on the 11th day of last July. They were born in Welches Creek township of Columbus county, N. C., six miles from Whiteville. Their parents were slaves of Jabez McKoy, father of Mr. Lloyd McKoy. It is said that their owner was not pleased with' the acquisition of such property, as he could never make hoe hands or cotton pickers of them. They were healthy and vigorous youngsters, and grew rapidly. Sheriff A. S. Richardson, in searching among the archives in our court house, discovered a very interesting document connected with these twins. It was a combined bill of sale and contract, dated May 18, 1852. In this paper Jabez McKoy, of Columbus county, N. C., transfers to John C. Purvis, of Chesterfield district, S. C., twin Negro girls, ten months old, and whose bodies are united from the waist down. Said Purvis is to pay said McKoy $1,000, and exhibit the twins, paying McKoy 25 per cent of the net proceeds received from their exhibit. McKoy agrees to let the mother of these twins go with them, without any hire being paid. Conditioned: that if said Purvis sold the twins, or disposed of them otherwise, then he was to pay to Jabez McKoy one-fourth of whatever he received. Furthermore, that the mother of said twins must be returned to McKoy without any expense on his part. But it seems that the exhibit did not pan out much profit to McKoy, as there is on record another paper dated September 30, 1853, in which Jabez McKoy waives any and all interest he may have in their exhibit, and for $200 deeds them to John C. Purvis, his heirs, etc., etc. It is not stated what was the disposition of the mother; but she was used after wards to recover her children when they were carrier to England. As is known, ever since emancipation, the Millie-Christine sisters have been exhibited and controlled by J. Pearson Smith, of Smook, S. C. We understand that Mr. Smith's mother married John C. Purvis, their original purchaser. He had the entire confidence of the twins, and exhibited them all over the world, and they attracted great crowds and attention everywhere. But of late years they have not been regularly on the road, and only occasionally exhibiting at fairs. In intervals they lived on a little farm, with about 20 acres cleared around the house, near where they were born. Their sister and her husband lived with and looked after them. They kept a horse and surry, but rarely went out except among the neighbors. They had a ten-room house, but it was burned one night near three years ago, with their furniture, including a cow horn chair, said to have cost $500. But they could comfortably sit in any ordinary chair. The building was replaced with a four-room cottage. Those who know say the twins left but little property—a poor, marshy farm and a small sum in the bank. For the past two years Millie has been suffering with consumption, they have not made much by exhibi- log, and their expenses have been heavy. It is said their contract with Mr. Smith was that they were to receive 25 per cent of the receipts. For many years they seemed fushed with money, but they were generous in not only assisting their relatives, but it is said the Negroes in all that section lived off of them. But their manager, Mr. Smith, carefully looked after them and their every need was supplied. The past summer they were sent to a tuberculosis hospital in the north, that Millie might be treated. After the Charleston earthquake, that created such terror among our colored population, the twins joined the Methodist church; but some months ago they changed to the Baptists and were, baptized while sitting in a chair. An immense throng witnessed their immersion. P LATE MILHE CHRISTINE TWINS. The twins were very courteous and always glad to receive and talk with visitors at their home; but they asked to be notified in time. They would receive no white visitors on Sunday, as that day was set aside or colored people. No charge was made for seeing them at their home. The sisters would come into the parlor and talk with you as long as you stayed. They were especially pleased to talk of their experiences and travels in foreign lands. But nothing angered them more than to be approached and gazed at when on their travels, and charged the curious spectators with being no gentlemen. We cannot get the exact facts of the trouble that Purvis, their owner, had with the twins in England. One story is that they were taken from him by Abolitionists while exhibiting in Michigan, carried via underground railroad to Canada, and from thence carried to England and put in school. Another story is that the twins were taken from Purvis while exhibiting them in England, that country not recognizing the institution of slavery, and Queen Victoria, then on the throne, being bitterly opposed to slavery. Anyway, the twins were taken from Purvis, and the courts decided against him. It was then that the mother was carried across the ocean and claimed and demanded the twins as her children. There was no denying a mother's right to her own children, so Victoria ordered that they be given to her. She then turned them over to their owner. After Purvis' death, J. Pearson Smith took charge of the sisters exhibiting them. and is said to have made quite a for- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912. The sisters enjoyed splendid health until about two years ago, when Mille developed a case of consumption. Dr. Crowell, of Whiteville, was their physician. Mille rapidly grew worse, and died at 6 p.m. on Tuesday of last week. Just before her death Christine, who was in excellent health, was taken with a severe spell of vomiting. Dr. Crowell was at the bedside, and said that Christine announced her sister's demise even before he himself detected that breath had left her body. It has alady been explained that the minds of these twins ran in the same groove. Christine said that Millie passed away just as if she was in a dream. This is undeniably the most accurate knowledge of death ever given or known. And to show the intimate connection between the two bodies, the warmth remained in the body of the corpse until the other twin had likewise died. Crowell says the life of Millie was doubtless prolonged by her drawing vitality from Christine's body. As proof of this fact, Millie apparently passed away at 4 o'clock and to every appearance was dead; but at 6, two hours afterward, she revived, and was conscious and rational for some minutes, when final dissolution took place. Life was sustained in the corpse by its connection with a living body, when the spark of life revived, flickered and then was finally extinguished. Millie died on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Christine died on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. A human being existed for 19 hours united with the part of a corpse. The living sister bore up wonderfully well, but after a few hours suffered excruciating nervous agony. Christine knew her own demise was only a matter of a few hours, for the living could not be cut apart from the dead. The two sisters had always prayed that they might pass away at the same time. When her nervous pains set in, Christine begged Dr. Crowell to give her something to relieve the agony and render her unconscious. Her constant prayer was that death come to her relief quickly. The doctor ad administered a reasonable dose of morphine stating that it was his mission to save and not take life. After the operate was given, Christine kept asking the physician how long be fore it would act? When the news circulated over the settlement that one of the twin sisters was dead and the other still living the excitement was intense. A great throng of neighbors, both white and black, flocked to the house. Among the visitors was Hon. J. M. Shipman, who had known the sisters all their life. This was the morning after Mille's death. Mr. Shipman found Christine entirely rational, and under the horrible condition was remarkably composed, although her suffering was acute. She said she knew that her death was inevitable, that she was ready to go, but prayed her end might come speedily. The remains of the two sisters were interred Thursday in the colored graveyard near their home. An immense crowd attended the funeral. The sisters had a borror of their bodies being dissected, and it is said asked to be cremated, lest some shoul steal their bodies. It is said their relatives could have sold the bodies for $10,000 for exhibition purposes. Fear is had that some body snatcher may yet invade that little country burial ground. A special coffin had to be made by carpenters.

She was the oldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. L. P. Jones. She took ill August 18th at Payne Chapel evening service being the church and Sunday School pianist and continued to weaken until death relieved her on Sunday morning. November 10th about 12:45 o'clock. Medicine and attention proved unsuccessful. She was the sa lutatorian of her class that graduated in May (1912) at Turner Normal College. Shelbyville, Tenn. Robbie Lee was a brilliant and useful young girl, closing life at the age of 16 years, 10 mos. 25 days. Many friends of the family from various parts of the state at STUDY APPLIED TO AGRICULTURE. Prof. J. Thomas Caruthers. Perhaps no field of human endorses giving employment to such large numbers in the races of mankind and bearing sway over such large part of the economy of nations has received so small a proportion of man's mental energies as agriculture. Youths of brains and promise have systematically left the farm to enter upon vocations other than that of farming because men of brains and training have made other vocations famous, while the uncultured and those limited in mental capacity have remained or been kept on the farm and grown up with visions no broader than the fields within their line fences. This truth explains the remarkably slow evolution of agricultural interests and a kind of semi-contempt in which the vocation is held by many. They observe the slow progress and meagre rewards of those who are engaged in agricultural pursuits, but think little that the trained mind capable of making life in the city a success is also capable of making life on the farm a success. If farmers studied their professions as carefully as lawyers, doctors and othr professional men study theirs, there is every reason to believe that the rewards for such studies would mean a compensation equivalent to that for study in other professions. By the constantly changing economic conditions of the country the rural population is becoming relatively less. PROF. J. THOS. CARUTHERS, Member of the Faculty of the A. and I Normal, product of Amberst A. and M., native of Columbia, Tenn. This means that those remaining on the farm to engage in agricultural pursuits must become relatively more productive: less hand labor and more machinery must be used and the soil must produce more to the acre; hence the farmer must become more proficient and intelligent. He must gain a deeper insight into the nature and composition of the elements with which he deals and study the characteristics of life in the soil as well as upon it. Successful agriculture is dependent upon the ability of the agriculturist to contend successfully with the changeable elements and insect pests; to understand both animal and vegetable pathology; to learn the chemical and physical properties of the soil and vary his methods according to conditions; rather than follow blindly the customs of his fathers. This is only possible when one has a thorough knowledge of the properties of the elements which enter into agricultural vocations. But why this great ado, about agricultural training has grown old without it? A part of the answer has already been given in the statement that the number of farmers is growing relatively less and the efficiency of those who remain must be relatively increased. Another part of the answer is that methods often followed have tended to impoverish even the most fertile fields, while farm operations in the future must not only retain soil fertility but reclaim farms at present run down and abandoned. tended the funeral which took place at Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, Wednesday, November 13th, 1:30 p. wednesday, November 13th, 1:30 p.m. Dr. G. L. Jackson, Presiding Elder of the Columbia District rendered the funeral oration. Dr. J. Q.

Ararat Cemetery. --- Agriculture. Farm homes must be elevated ta a status as comfortable as cultured ts the homes of those engaged in other pursuits. Farm communities must have their social interests and organizations for social uplift. More systematic study must therefore be devoted to both farm life and farm economy if society is to maintain its equilibrium under rapidly changing conditions. Three thousand years ago, Jacob fully illustrated the value of study in connection with anifal breeding when, as is related in Genesis XXX chapter, 25 to 43, he caused the flocks of Laban to conceive among pilled rods in order to increase the number of ring-staked and spotted which fell to him hor his hire. Every individual now engaged in any phase of agriculture will find a technical knowledge of his business helpful both in sustaining the high character of the enterprise and in making valuable improvements. Some years ago the San Jose' Scale devastated great sections of fruit growing regions and caused a loss of millions of dollars all because orchardists were ignorant of the presence of this pest or the method of etermination. A trained eye would have discovered this insect earlier and an application of lime and sulphur would have saved the orchards. Orchards als suffer from lack of pruning and improper pruning while a thorough knowledge and judicious practice of this art will [Name] result in greatly increased returns from the trees. A few heens and a rooster form part of almost every household but very few poultry owners ever think of applying the laws of hygiene to the care of their fowls or of feeding an egg producing ration: but wonder all the while why the hens don't lay. Many a farmer fails to realize the most from his farm because he does not follow a proper system of rotation. He often fails to introduce into the system both deep and shallow rooted plants to feed respectively upon the deep and surface layers of soil, thus he fails to make use of all the plant food present or perhaps is not judicious in his selection of a legume suited to enter into the system without which any system of rotation of crops is seriously defective. The question of fertilizers should engage the careful attention of all who engage in the growing of crops; for the quality of the fertilizer affects the quality of the crop and while certain crops must have the more available fertilizers certain others can make use of the—— and cheaper fertilizing elements. Finally those who wish to engage in agricultural pursuits must study agriculture and those who study best and work best will succeed best and be the owners of the best farms, for it is just as impossible for the good farmer to live on a poor farm as it is for a poor farmer to live on a good farm. A ROUND TABLE PRAYER MEET ING AT LEE AVE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Something new and novel in the way of prayer-meeting was introduced by Elder Preston Taylor, pastor of Lee Ave Christian Church. There were tables put in the chapel and covers for fifty were laid, while seated at these tables there was Scripture readings, songs and prayers and quotations. Some thought that a meeting of this kind would detract from the Spiritual part, but the voice of all was: It is the best prayer-meeting that we have had in Lee Ave Christian Church. It served a two-fold purpose. It made the regular pray-meeting double itself. It brought the members closer together and warmed their souls with spiritual blessings. It was decided to hold this kind of meeting the first Wednesday evening of each month. The C. W. B. M. the married ladies club will prepare the menu for the next Round-Table prayer-meeting.

Will the Negro Suffer? As the time approaches for the change of the National administration, on every hand the question is being discussed as to how many Negroes will lose their positions as the result of this change. There are differences of opinion on this score, or rather different expressions. Those men who have hobbled with the republican crowd for all these years are expected to say that the Negroes who work for the Federal Government will lose their positions shortly after the fourth of March. But those who speak as they believe are compelled to admit that the Negro cannot suffer much in the way of federal patronage. President Taft in his inaugural address promised not to appoint Negroes to any positions that were objectionable to white people of that community. He kept his word, and as a consequence any job that a white man wanted he naturally objected to a Negro having it; and why shouldn't he? A Negro would have done the same thing if he could have secured the job in that way. President-elect Wilson and the Democratic administration can not be any harder on the Negro in the way of federal jobs than President Taft has been. Too many of us lose sight of the change of sentiment in this nation. Eight years ago Negroes expected nothing but dammation from democrats, and democrats had the same opinion of Negroes. He knew the Negro could do nothing but vote against them and "cuss" him at the big gate; but when the leaders of any party are certain that a particular element is against them it creates a feeling of resentment. During the last four years more Negroes have deserted the republican party and joined the democratic party than did in all of the years previous to that time since the civil war. This happened in many instances where the support of the Negro vote was not really needed. But the fact that the Negro decided to cast his lot with the democratic party has caused the democrats to see him in a different light. In view of this shift we do not believe that the Negro will suffer from the change of administration. On the other hand, we believe that he will be given more recognition by the Wilson administration, and in a way that is more manly than he received from the Taft administration. We are assured by Governor Wilson that he will not countenance any attempt to change the Constitution, and being a Virginian of that starling character so prevalent in the Old Dominion, we have no fear but that Mr. Wilson will keep his word. Furthermore, he has promised to carry into the White House with him his religion and to conduct the aairs of the nation from the standpoint of a Christian. No stronger promise could be made than this, and Mr. Wilson is of that type of men whom we call Southern Gentlemen, and who are acknowledged to be the most courageous men in the nation. Those Negroes who are holding federal jobs will of course resign. They cannot be democrats, and since to the victor belong the spoils, an effort will have to be put forth to find enough Negro democrats to go around to all the jobs to be passed out. Thanksgiving. Thursday of next week the American people will celebrate their Thanksgiving day. This occasion means much to this people. It is celebrated in memory of a great event. At a time when it meant much for men to stand and advo cate the principles that were contrary to the English Government. Counting the progress this nation has made from the time the Pilgrim Fathers first celebrated this day down to this present time every American should feel that he has much to give thanks for. Many obstacles have been overcome! great achievements have been wrought and above all, the blight of Slavery has been removed, and we now live in a free country. Since the Emancipation of the slaves greater strides have been made in our national development than was accomplished in double the time before, and as we stand in the dawn of the twentieth century, it is apparent that our development will be far greater than it has been in a like period of the past. We stand to-day in the light of greater achievements than any nation in the world. Our people enjoy more liberty and those ills that obstruct our paths strong minds are grappling with them to the extent that the people believe that in the near future all will be peace and contentment. For these and the many things inenumerable we should all give thanks to Him who has blessed us and who will continue to bless the nation if justice and right are allowed to control. The Temple Case. All who are in favor of the weak and oppressed receiving justice are compelled to sympathize with Leo Temple, the young man sentenced to be hung next Monday. If his story is true, he has not had a semblance of a trial, and if his attorney believed he could get him out of the trouble for ten dollars, the case of the defense must have been very weak. The report sent out from Memphis to the effect that the court officials there had petitioned the Governor to let the law take its course should not have any weight in the case. If Temple was railroaded through the court at Memphis as he has repeatedly said he was, the judges and officials of that court would naturally be averse to the light being turned on their shady actions. Leo Temple is a poor, friendless boy, and has very little education. He says he stopped school in the second grade. He does not look like a criminal, and those who have come in contact with him constantly since he has been in jail here do not believe he is guilty of the crime as charged. Life is sweet to him, and if the state permits him to be put to death without giving him a chance to prove his innocence, it will be a blight on them. Leo Temple says he is a Christian and is ready to die, but insists that he is innocent. Foreman of Composing Room—"Last form, boys! Let's go from here."

We are no more interested in Mr. John Arthur Johnson in his character of prizefighter and spectacular law-breaker than the police are, and that interest is that he stay in his class as prizefighter and obey the laws is his conduct or be made to do so. The day has passed when such men can be held up as representing the Negro people, and when the Negro people can be held responsible for such men or their questionable conduct in public or private places. There are a hundred thousand Negroes in Cook County who are not in Mr. Johnson's bruiser class—hardworking people who are either members of the Christian church or were educated in it, and who do not live in the haunts of revelry and crime or the police station—New York Age. If the white Republicans are dying as hard as are the colored Republicans they are dying very hard indeed. Gentlemen, is it worth the candle? Less politics and more business. Politics are all very well for a while, but business must go on forever.—The Afro-American. IT SEEMS JACK JOHNSON IS BE ING PERSECUTED. What seemed at first to be a prosecution of Jack Johnson for violating Federal laws, is turning out to be a persecution of the man simply because he is champion mugilist of the world and a Negro. When Johnson NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912. was arrested some days ago for alleged illegal living with a white woman, this paper as well as other self-respecting Negroes in many parts of the country, condemned his actions as we would condemn any man found guilty of crimes which react against society. But later developments in this case tend to show that there are other motives beside that of bringing a criminal to justice. The judge who assessed an extortionate bond agafst Johnson, besides objecting to his bondsmen, is said to have overstepped his authority; a thing that he would not likely have done had Johnson not been the fl champion fighter of the world and a Negro. We do not condone crime of any description; neither do we connive in a scheme of persecution because the culprit happens to be a black man. But what we really do want, is that which every fair-minded, unprejudiced American wants—a square deal for every man, be he white or black. The Columbian. COMMUNICATION. "PRESIDENTS OF NEGRO COL LEGES It was not to be expected that all would agree with me in my position concerning Negro presidents of colleges for Negroes. And yet in discussing the subject, I would insist upon the opposition sticking to the text. The editor of the Globe said in the last week's issue of the paper, that I did not "advance a single reason" why I affirmed that Fisk University would never be presided over by a Negro as long as it belonged to white people. How strange that sounds! Why, Mr. Editor, I expressed the reason, when I said, "as long as it belonged to and was controlled by white people." I do not contend that it is "reasonable;" but I do insist that it is the reason. It is not "reasonable" that Negroes should be denied accommodations in a public restaurant, run by white men, on account of their color; but that is the "reason" that they are denied. The editor of the Globe knows quite well, that when it comes to dealing with the color question in this country, white men do not act from the standpoint of "reason." They are governed by their pet prejudices. And what is more, they do not make any apology for it either. The Globe says that "Negroes have been elected to the presidency of schools owned and controlled by white people, and of which the majority of the trustees are white." Why did not the Globe name one? There was certainly space enough in the columns of the paper to name one, at least. Now, Mr. Editor, when you name the school or schools, be sure you name one that is in the class with Fisk University. Don't name some State Normal school, which was established with the distinct understanding that a Negro was to be put in charge. For after all, a state school is not owned by white people. It belongs to the citizens of the state. And colored people are a part of the state. Don't name some preparatory school, which was established by white people, with the understanding, to start with, that a colored man should be its principal. But in discussing this subject, stick to your text. Mention a single instance where a great university owned by any class of white people or any denomination, to whose presidency white men may aspire, where they ever turned down a white man for a Negro. And then you make the remarkable declaration, "To say that the trustees of Fisk University will never elect a Negro president would infer that they have prejudice against black men." Certainly, I mean that. What else could I mean? Is it possible that the editor of the Globe has not yet learned that there is such a thing in this country as race prejudice? Who doubts it? You say, "if it is true (that there is race prejudice) the Negroes of the country should know it." I did not think there were any sensible Negroes in this country who did not know it. If the Negroes of this country have not yet been convinced that race prejudice exists in this country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Lakes to the Gulf, then they are the blindest race on the face of the earth. Put a black man at the head of Fisk University, and it will at once be the signal for the elimination of every white teacher from the faculty. If they did not voluntary resign, it would not be long before some "state-man" on Capitol hill would ruse up in all his might of "statesmanship" and put through an act, prohibiting white and colored from giving instruction in the same institution. That is only one side of the question, however. Your paragraph on the failures of white men as presidents of Negro colleges is altogether another phase of this discussion. I am not prepared to say whether or not they are a failure or a success. But I agree with you, for the most part, in what you say along that line. That grand set of men, such as were the pioneers in the work of Fisk, Roger Williams and Wolden, have about all passed away. We will hardly see their like again, but I will say, parenthetically, that we must remember that conditions make men. The times demand men of certain stamp. The present times do not demand men of that strine. Now, you say, "the students who enter a college under a white president and a white faculty, enter with the feeling of restlessness and discontent," etc. If that is true, why is it true? Is it not on account of the sensitivity of the Negro student, who comes with a knowledge of the prejudice that already exists against blun on the part of the white faculty and president? Yet I do not altogether agree with you in this statement. For my observation has been rather to the contrary. The average The Nashville Furniture Co.

Negro student seems to rather enjoy what he considers the contact with the members of the superior race. He considers it a special privilege. He leaves school feeling that he has gotten more out of school life by having attended a school taught by white people. Nothing I have said is to be construed as my being opposed to a Negro president for Fisk University. But I only mean to express an opinion that inasmuch as Fisk University is not a Negro institution, and inasmuch as Negroes do not own a foot of the ground, nor a single brick in the walls, they will never control it, nor, as a race, ever preside over it. In short, I wish to repeat what I tried to make clear in my former article, that if Negroes want to preside over colleges and universities, they must establish them and own them themselves. I wish to again make clear, that Fisk University is not a Negro college. It is a college for Negroes. If you want to find a Negro college, I invite you to Wilberforce O.; Atlanta, Ga.; Little Rock, Ark.; Jackson, Miss.; Columbia, S. C.; Kittrell, N. C.; Waco, Texas; Jacksonville, Fla., and lastly, to Shelbyville, Tenn., and there you will find some "Negro colleges." None of them may be so pretentious as Fisk, but they are essentially Negro institutions. And there will never come a time when any contention will arise about whether a white man or a Negro will preside over either one. Black men will hold the key to the situation as long as the African Methodist Church holds a place among the sisterhood of denominations.

EVANSVILLE, IND. Now, Mr. Editor, I have not said that white people will "cease to contribute to Negro education when Negroes are put in charge." On the contrary, he it said to the credit of the white man, he will help those whom he sees are trying to help themselves. But I have learned one thing by contact with this great Anglo-Saxon race, he knows how to hold fast to what he gets. And Fisk is his. Yes, the good white people of Shelbyville have shown an interest in Turner Normal College that is extraordinary. There is nothing in the bounds of reason that these good people will not do for me as president of this school. They have helped to carry us through straits which seemed at the time impassable; and they will do it again. They know full well that they are helping and encouraging a Negro institution, in which they know they have no financial interest. They know that I am not contending for a single thing over which they have control. They are willing for us to manage and control what we create, and they will encourage us, as a race to make all the progress we are capable of making. But, Mr. Editor, be it remembered that this proud Anglo-Saxon race, whether in the sunny South or the frozen North, will ever insist upon dominating his own affairs, and will tolerate but little suggestion, and no dictation, from any other race on the face of the Globe. Take your public schools even in the city of Nashville: a protest from all the Negroes in the city could avail nothing toward the removal of a principal or teacher from the colored school if the white Board of Education chose to decide otherwise. They would simply say, "what are you goin' to do 'bout it?" They would simply give you to understand that they are controlling affairs, and do not propose to take the Negroes' dictation. Now, I conclude by saying that, as much as I believe in Negr institutions, for as an African Methodist, I could not feel otherwise. I have my doubts about the time being ripe for a black man to be called to the presidency of Fisk University. I have other reasons than those I heretofore expressed, or that space at this time will not permit mentioning. J. A. JONES. Fine Art Concern Floyd W.

Just how the com- missin will do its work will be de- termined then, ‘The leadership of State umversities In the South is coming to be more and more vital to the interests of the peo- ple. They have been critized often for apparent indifference to the Negro question. ‘The orgaization of this commission has aroused widespread interest. Not only stimuladon, but actual leadership, is expected of it. A number of students, notably at the University of Virginia and the Univer- sity of Georgia, began last fall a sys- tematic study of the Negro in his re- lation to all phases of Southern life. ‘They started under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. ‘Tremendous impetus was given their |work by. the establehment of the Phelps-Stokes fellowships at Virginia and Georgia, At each of these insti- tutions the holder of this fellowship is at work’upon a particular phase of the \question, under the direction of the | professors of economics and soctology. ‘Their theses will be printed at the close of the present academic year. Summary of Results, | An idea of the extent of the work |undertaken by these students may be ‘|had from the report of last year’s |study at the University of Virginia, "This group of students, numbering nearly 110, issued a summary of the re- sults of their study, in part as follows: “(1) A reallzation of the pervasive- -|ness of the problem; that'in reahty it | is not an isolated situation out of touch >| with the affairs of the South at large, -|but an intimate, ever-present, problem | touching the life of the South at every \|turn, and involving the hygienic, eco- nomic, and moral well-being of every t| citizen of the South. -| (2) Not only has the problem been -|recognized, but much reading has t/been done and much thought devoted t| to the subject.

Tam thankful for much of our past. But someone says, “Before I could ‘be thankful for it I would have to for- get slavery.” But a condition of slavery is not peculiar to us; many other nations have been in the sme ‘or similar condition. I once heard Frederick Douglass say, “People of- ten say to me, ‘Mr. Douclass, aren't you ashamed to cay tha’ you were @ slave, and that you were beaten in slavery?” And I tell them no, if the great apostle Paul boasted that he was five times beaten of the Jews with forty stripes save one, why should T be ashamed that I was beaten?” Per. sonally I doubt if freedom will ever give to us a more glorious page in many respects. That period marks the transition of my people from bar barism to civilization; from a smol* cargo in 1620 to a great part of the numerica’ stren-th of the country— four millions in 1863; t marked th: beginnings of some great moveruen’ among us. It marked some real struggles for manhood rights, en some real protests against their de- nial —insurrections, — Undergroun’ Railroad, the fugitives’ flight to the free North, following the light of t* Polar Star; it gave us William S* and Harriet Tubman; it marked the loyalty of slaves to their masters and mistresses—whose confidence _ they did not abuse, whose sacred trusts they did not violate, and then to the government in '76, in “12, in '61-'65— the blacks of the South fighting side by side with the whites of the North; they, without a country alongside the freemen who purposed to: save the ‘Union—it was a spectacle for gods and men. Whatever the glory the conflict brought to others, it could bring to them no more than it brought to us, and Tam thankful for that mer- ited glory.

RIER AND TRANSMITTER OF ANIMAL DISEASES. By Geo. R, White, M. D. V. 8, State Live Stock Inspector. Since the Turkey Buzzard {is such a menace to the live stock Industry of Tennessee—on account of being a disease carrier—it is well that our live stock raisers have their attention directed to this bird, particularly it habits and dangers, ‘The Buzzard is one of our largest and most common birds. It is filthy and repulsive on account of being a scavenger. It {8 much more common in the Southern States than those to thé north ‘of us; however, it is occa- sionally observed as far north as Cana- da. It exists to a more or less de- gree in every State in the Union, The Buzzard is sluggish and lazy in its habits and has a decided preference for warm latitudes, It is in Southern Alabama, Georgia, Florida and the West Indies, that the Fuzzard finds life pleasantest. How- ever the Buzard breeds and thrives well in Tennessee, Here we find them present at all seasons of the year in great numbers, It is molested by no other bird, since it attacks none, It makes no enemies, since it feeds almost entirely on carrion, which no other bird srud- ges. The youngest chickens in the yard show no alarm when a buzzard alights in thelr midst. ‘They know from instinct that no more harmless bird to them exicts, ‘The Buzzard depends for protection entirely upon disgorgement of the foul carrion contents of its stomach upon the intruder. When distrubed in the act of devouring a foetd—especially when extremely hungry—they express great displeasure and blow thro, the nose, making a low, hissing sound or grunt, and lift their wings in a threat. enng attitude. ‘This hissing and grunting sound is the only noise a buzzard ever utters, Since the buzzard feeds upon the carcasses of animals indiscriminately and are themselves endowed with nat. ural immunity against most conta geous infectious diseases, they are now considered carriers of all animal diseases which are of germ origin, ‘They carry the infection of Black Leg, Anthrax, Tuberculosis, Hog Chot era, Glanders and many diseases from place to place, ‘This infection {s car ried upon the whole surface of their body, especially on the mouth and feet, as well as in thelr stomachs. AN of the natural discharges from a bur. zard’s body are disease laden at all times, hence ft behooves every owner of live stock to see that these diserse carrying creatures are not allowed to light upon their premises, Aside from public stock yards. 7 consider the turkey buzvard directly responsible for most of the outbreaks of Hoe Cholera in Tennessee, Many of the Sonthern states afford the buzzard legal protection. This accounts in part for their great nvm bers. At one time the Duzzard wns protected by Iaw in Tennessee. At that time anyone killing a buzzard was Hable to arrest and fine, Of course when that law was passed m7 one had any idea that the buzzard was such a spreader of atsease, Some peovle are under the erron: eous impression that the buzzard at this time has leeal protection in Ten: nessee. For the'r benefit I will say that the Inw protesting the buzzant was renesled in 1993, Since tha’ date the buzzard has had no lex] pro. tection in this State. Any nerson can kill a buzzar? without violating any State law.
