NASHVILLE GLOBE. A. B.C. 13 Fisk Univ. 6 Large Crowd Witnessed the Game on Bennet Field NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. Vol. VII. DR. MORROW EN- LOGIES DR. GATES IMPRESSIVE SERVICE AT FISK SUNDAY. Was Elected President of Fisk in 1909—Had Enjoyed The Best Edu- cational Advantages—Gradu- ate of Dartmouth and An- dover—Was One Time President of Two Other Colleges. Sunday morning at 11 o'clock an impressive memorial service in res- pect to the memory of the late Geo. A. Gates was held in the Fisk Mem- orial Chapel. Rev. C. W. Morrow, D. D., professor of philosophy and col- lege pastor, delivered the following address, in part: "Dr. George A. Gates was elected President of Fisk University in 1909. He had enjoyed the best educational advantages, being a graduate of Dartmouth College and Andover Theological Seminary, and having traveled and studied abroad. For some years he was engaged in the active work of the gospel ministry, and then, for over a score of years, was a college President, holding that office at Grinnell, la, and at Ponoma, Cal. He came to Fisk therefore, not as a tyro, but as one who had had extended experience at the head of institutions of the higher learning. With him came Mrs. Gates, a most devoted wife, whose wonderful equipoise, delicate discrimination and cheerful, loving spirit have been of great value to our college community. And, friends, we can not forget her aged mother, whose tenderness for one and all have given her a large place in every heart, and whose entrance into our little social cirlle here on the hilltop we owe, of course, to Dr. Gates' becoming our President. "He brought to Fisk a rigorous personality. Many changes in the life of the college were instituted by him, and he lived to see them become an integral part of the order of things and working well. "Dr. Gates was a firm believer in the higher education of the Negro. He was opposed to speaking of Fisk as a school, fearing that the word school might mislead some as to the fact of its being a college. At the time he came, the Committee on Courses, of which I happened to be Chairman was at work on a scheme for raising our standard of scholarship and expanding our curriculum. Some of us wondered how the new President would regard such a purpose. We found him to be most enthusiastically in favor of bettering the scholastic life of the institution. He brought to bear all the influence of his office for such learning in Fisk as would justify its being styled a college. No professor or held up too high ideals in the class room to suit the president. He insisted upon the students doing solid work as college men and women because he believed in the higher learning for the Negro, whose capability he never questioned. No professor, I repeat, could doubt his Dr. Gates' full approval in his efforts to maintain in his classes a high standard of scholarship. The President believed in industrial education but he did not think that Dr. Gates' full approval in his efforts to maintain in his classes a high standard of scholarship. The President believed in industrial education but he did not think that Dr. Gates' duret was for the promotion of such an object. Coming to us without any direct, personal knowledge of educational needs in the Southland, he might easily have blundered along this line, but his vision was clear, and he was true in act to what he saw. As the Fisk fathers blazed the way for the higher learning Dr. Gates carried the standard forward spirit duly. A. B.C. 1 Fisk Large Crowd Witness Bennet H. The management of the Athletic Association of Fisk University must have been forewarned of what the result would be in the Thanksgiving game between Fisk and A. B. C., for the book special patns to see to it that no press tickets were sent to the Globe. They sent tickets to the daily papers but very little space could be given by the daily press, for it was nothing but a "nigger" foot ball game and of little consequence or interest to white people. The Globe labored over time telling about the game in advance, and the management was certain that the results of the game would be told regardless of how the thing went. So to cover up their tracks, they forgot to send press tickets to the Globe. But it happened that some of the Globe representatives were able to borrow fifty cents and buy a ticket NEGRO PRISONERS ARE RELEASED GEN. ANDERSON SAYS THEY ARE NOT GUILTY. Rounded Up Saturday Night—Bond Refused It Is Said—Squire Corbitt Cries Discrimination—Judge Neil Says County is Imposed On—The Democrat Exposed These Outrages Some Time .Ago. Last Sunday morning Attorney-General Anderson went to the County jail and after consultation with Criminal Court Judge Neal, ordered released eleven innocent Negroes, who had fallen into the hands of the Saturday night raiders. The men had been refused bail in Squire Corbitt's court. The Squire in discussing the matter said: It is strange indeed that Mr. Anderson's tender sympathies for the poor and weak are aroused only in those cases where country constables make the arrests, while he is ap parenty deaf, dumb and blind in the cases of those arrested in the numerous raids made by the deputies of Sheriff Longhurst. Mr. Anderson's action convences me that there is a system, of which the Attorney-General and the Sheriff are parties, which undertakes to say which places shall be allowed to run and which shall be raided, and that the efforts of these two officials are being exerted to prevent raids upon unlawful resorts by country constables and to throttle all efforts of these officers to enforce the law. It is also strange that Mr. Anderson's sympathetic ears are more attentive to the appeals of such people as "Miser" Sam Cohn than to plain, ordinary citizens. Mr. Anderson's friend, Cohn, as is well known, is a professional bondman besides being interested in several low resorts, and has made most of his money making bonds in criminal cases. His interest in the "poor" Negroes tried before me was exactly to the extent of the amount of money he received from them for the purpose of making their bonds." Gen. Anderson's version of the matter is quite different from that of Squire Corbitt's. He said: Gen. Anderson made the following statement relative to the matter: "Saturday night about 12 o'clock Mr. Sam Cohn called me by telephone and said that a number of Negroes had been arrested and brought into Squire Corbitt's Court, charged with simply loitering. Likewise, he said that he had offered to make qualified bond for the Negroes, and that Squire Corbitt had refused this qualified bond. As you know, Mr. Cohn is a man of considerable means, and well able to make such little bond as was required. Mr. Cohn said that the Negroes had said that they were not guilty, and could not understand how a qualified bond could be refused. "Sunday morning I went down to (Continued on page 8.) source of inspiration and encouragement, and as he himself has expressed it, 'What little help we may have given anywhere by way of inspiration and encouragement, that is about all there is left of any of us by and by on the earth that is of real and abiding value.'" Others who spoke were Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, Prof. C., Poindexter and Dean H. H. Wright. The remains of Dr. Gates passed through Nashville Saturday at 4 p. m. The funeral party was joined by Prof. J. W. Work and Mrs. Agnes Work, who accompanied them to their last resting place in Grinnell, Iowa. 13 k Univ. 6 nessed the Game on at Field to the game. It was a fine day for a foot ball game and a great crowd was assembled to witness this contest. The first thing handed out to the people was a wrangle. From what could be learned it seems that A. B. C. wanted a square deal in the matter of officials. It might be said, however, that they did not show much sportsmanship in this respect in view of the fact that Prof. H. A. Cameron, of Nashville, had been selected to umpire the game, and his ability and integrity cannot be questioned. He would not cheat for his wife in a game of foot ball. This is acknowledged by all who have had dealings with him. Meharry and Fisk settle on Prof. Cameron and a moment's hesitation, and when those two schools settle on a man he must be straight and straight sure enough. But, be that as it may, is seems that (Continued on page 5.) NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29, 1912. $100.000 Oil Mill Launched at Mound Bayou Miss. Ten Thousand Visitors Journey to the Town to Witness the Great Event Booker T. Washington Blew Whistle at 4 p. m., Machinery Started Dedication of Hubbard Hopital This Afternoon Special to the Globe Mound Bayou, Miss., November 25 —Ten thousand visitors were in this city today, brought in by six special chartered trains in addition to the six regular trains, augmented by the thousands that came in from surrounding country, and Mound Bayou was converted into a veritable park or celebration ground. The object of the thousands that came from all over the state with representatives from parts throughout the United States was the dedication of the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Oil Mill, built, owned and operated by Negroes of the United States. Booker T. Washington, the Wizard of Tuskegee, was the one conspicuous figure on this occasion. It was four o'clock when he pulled the whistle that set in motion the hundreds of wheels that will revolve incessantly the most stupendous plant ever attempted in cotton oil manufacturing by Negroes. From early morning until four o'clock in the evening trains were coming in laden with their human cargo to take part in the observance of a day that will be handed down to unborn generations as the most noble occasion in the State of Mississippi; a day that will be looked upon and recognized as one of the events of the Twentieth Century. This city has been the scene of noble gatherings of various churches and fraternal organizations, but nothing has come within the shadow of the occasion that was celebrated here today. There was hardy room in the streets of this distinguished distinctively Negro town to accommodate the thousands of people who were enthusiastic beyond description. Brass bands playing national airs, United States flags and decorated buildings and an ideal sunshine day, with big-hearted people, were the order. Although the train bearing the distinguished educator, who was met by a special committee at Memphis and escorted to the city, and was late there was not a moment when enthusiasm subsided. Whtn the train reached the station, cheer after cheer went up, and so much enthusiasm was displayed that it was impossible for him to alight until his car was taken some distance down the track and pushed on a siding. He was hurried to an automobile and the parade, headed by a band, and followed by a half dozen autos and three or four carriages filled with prominent men from every portion of the United States, started up the main thor The formal dedication of the Geo W. Hubbard Hospital will take place this afternoon in the Meharry Auditorium. A great many visitors are in the city to witness this event. It is a great day in the life of Dean Hubbard and the history of Meharry Medical College. The George W. Hubbard Hospital fronts 130 ft. on the west side of First Avenue, South, formerly Maple street, and is three stories in height including basement, with 58 rooms including two operating rooms. It will comfortably furnish accommodation for 75 patients, and in case of emergency 100 can be provided for. The work on the north wing of the hospital was begun on April 18th, 1910 and the corner stone laid the following month. The completed portion was dedicated on December 15, 1910. 15, 1910 The work on the main building and south wing was commenced about a year ago, and has been actively in progress since that time. The stone foundation was built by Thomas Ward; the brick work by A. J. Norman; the carpenter work has been under the direction of J. H. Adams; the contract for the tin work was awarded to Phillips & Buttorf Mfg. Co. the plumbing was done by John Morgan; the electrical work was awarded the Nashville Electric Co.; the painting has been done by the Meharry students, under the supervision of E. M. Wilkins, of the Senior Medical Class. Mr. Robert Sharp drew the plans for the building and has supervised it construction. The total cost of the building will be about $40,000.00, of this amount nearly $7,000.00 was contributed by the faculty, students and alumni of the college. Andrew Carnegie has given $10,000. The Ladies' Club has raised and expended about $2,000.00 for furnishing the building. Quite a number of rooms have been furnished by societies and private individuals. oughfare of the city, circled the oil mill and back to the speaker's stand, a huge structure that had been erected for the occasion. The speaker's stand had been constructed out of railroad cross ties for a foundation, with lumber from the numerous saw mills in close proximity to this city. The crowd cheered when Mr. Chas. Banks mounted the platform and introduced Mr. I. T. Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bayou. Mr. Montgomery spoke in simple but impressive language, telling of his object and purpose for coming to this particular spot for the establishment of a Negro town. In brief he went over the whole career and a brief history of this peculiar commonwealth. Following Mr. Montgomery, Dr. Booker T. Washington was introduced. A greater ovation has never been given to anyone as he arose and mounted the rostrum to address more than fifteen thousand people. As an acknowledgement of the honor given him he bowed, smiled and waved his hand in response to the cheers that rent the air. He spoke for one hour and forty minutes, making the speech of his life. He was cheered throughout. Distinguished mtn from various sections of the United States occupied places upon the platform. Following Dr. Washington the Editor of the Commercial Appeal, of Memphis, one of the best-known daily papers in the South, was introduced, and spoke for thirty minutes, making a clean, clear, logical address of the conditions that exist in the South and predicting improvement along all lines with regard to the Negro and the progress he is making; prophesying that a new day had dawned and that the relations existing between the two races in the South were never better. Following this, Mr. Chas. Banks, the Bulder of Mound Bayou, as he is styled, escorted Dr. Washington to the end of the platform where a long rope, reaching a distance of over two hundred yards, was attached to a whistle of the Oil Mill. Dr. Washington then asked the crowd to sing an original Jubilee song, "We are climbing Jacob's Ladder." Following this there was a song by the great congregation, "Blest be the tie that binds," and a shreak went through the air meaning that the mill had been put in operation and was set in motion, a plant that is the alpha of Negro endeavor in the manufacture of products of the farm. The appearance of contentment could be seen on the faces of the hun (Continued on page 8.) The Freedmen's Aid Society of the M. E. Church has contributed $3,500.00 toward the erection of the building, and guaranteed $2,500.00; Joseph Rosenwald gave $1,000.00; J. Patten, of Chattanooga, $200.00 and Ira B. Blackstock of Springfield, Ill., $100.00. The annual religious service of Hubbard Hospital which was previously announced, was held at Meharry Auditorium on Sunday morning, 24th inst. and was attended by the students of the several departments of the institution and a large representative number of the people of the city. The preacher of the occasion was Bishop I. E. Scott, who taking his text, Esther, chapter 4, verse 14, illustrated the glory and magniminity of a life of devotion and selfsacrifice, specifically praised the work of the hospital club, and exhorted its members to constancy in the great undertaking. The history of the Hospital Club was reviewed by Mrs. Sophla Jackson, one of its members, who rehearsing the object of the club, and thanking the public for their generous support, prayed for a continuance of their hearty co-operation. The musical part of the service was of a very high order, and consisted of several selections by Walden University choir and a solo by Mrs. J. D. Bushell, which delighted the audience in an exceedingly great degree. The energetic president, Dr. J. E. Wells made the request for a liberal contribution, which was readily responded to while Mrs. W. E. Gray, Mrs. S. M. Uley, Mrs. T. H. Ellott and other ladies, officiated at the collection tables. The dedication exercises of Geo. W. Hubbard Hospital will take place at Meharry auditorium on Friday afternoon. 29 inst. beginning at half past one o'clock, when several addresses will be delivered by distinguished speakers. A very large attendance is expected. State Normal 25 Burrill Academy 0 Rousing Reception Given Team on Return Home. NINTH EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS MEETING IN DYERSBURG THIS WEEK.

It had been figured that the State Normal would do well even to score against Burrill. In fact, the boys from the Volunteer State did not themselves expect to beat having been recently organized and realized that they were going up against one of the best prep school teams in the South. Burrill had beaten Alabama State Normal. Alabama State Normal had played Fisk to a standstill. Fisk had beaten Tuskegee; and so it was doped out that Burrill was one of the best teams in the South.

One Hundred Thirty-six Enrolled— Most Have Come Up From First Grade—Men and Women Who Have Had No Advantages— Struggling To Improve Their Condition—Carried To Eighth Grade. There are many in this city who don't know of the splendid advantages offered in the Hadley Night School for those who have been deprived of opportunities to get an education to improve their condition. In speaking with Prof. Benton, principal of the Hadley School, a Globe representative was informed that the night school this year was indeed prosperous. 136 pupils are enrolled and six teachers are engaged. The attendance of most of these is regular and they are accomplishing a great deal. It was learned that fully two hundred can be comfortably accommodated in this school and that if this number should apply for admittance two more teachers would be employed in this work. Most of those who are pupils in the night school started in the first and second grades and have come up by promotion the same as in the day school. The pupils consist principally of those who are hard-working people, but who realize that they can perform their daily duties better and more satisfactory to their employers if they can read and write and make calculations and have some knowledge of language. They realize that a degree of intelligence is required of anyone whatever the occupation is. They also realize that if they can read and write and make calculations they can demand better salaries. Many of them are employed in the railroad shops and the freight houses. Others work in the foundries and factories in different parts of the city. Many are porters and house servants; but all are eager to learn and are attentive to their instructors, as they find that they give much better service and can understand their duties more readily when they can grasp the instructions as they are given to them. The studies go as high as the eighth grade and promotions are made as in the day school, but no certificates are issued, as the night school is for the betterment of its pupils solely. Those studies are taught that are of the most practical use. No non-essentials are considered, but studies that come into use in every-day life are given attention particularly. It is found that in this way more good can be done and to a greater number of people. Several have applied who want to take advanced students preparatory to entering college or for teacher. These are not admitted to the night school for the fact that they are not dependent, but are people able to pursue their studies in the regular way. The night school is conducted especially for those people who were deprived of educational advantages in early life or who are so situated that they can not attend the day school. Much good is being accomplished by this one school, and it is anticipated that next year another will be established and probably two, as it is believed that South Nashville would support a night school, and also there is a sufficient number on the East side who need this opportunity and would gladly take advantage of it if offered. nal 25 Academy 0 on Given Team on Home. dashing vim and soon had them com- pletely routed. They carried the game in a rapid pace, and when the smoke was carried away Tennessee Normal had run up a score of 25 points and Burrill had a complete goose egg. There will be hot times in Nashville to-night. A banquet is being prepared for the boys, and everybody out on the hill near the river is expected to join in the wigwam dance; even Mr. Ben Carr will likely be seen with his war paint on and his brush in hand making everthing red around the State Normal. Chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, cats, and the big mule team and all the rats that have migrated to the hill since the establishment of the school are expected to be in line. The triumph of the State Normal over Burrill is fitting occasion for such a celebration. Out of Town Notes. 2 FRENCH LICK (IND.) NOTES. Rev.

The waste food from the table of the average family, in addition to a little grain, will feed enough to harms the needed fresh eggs for the family. With good bens and careful attention to houses and yards, a piece of ground 20x50 will accommodate hens to produce as many fresh eggs as the average family will consume, besides a considerable number of broilers. It must be understood, however, that the chickens will require daily attention throughout the year. The feeding must be done regularly and intelligently, and the premises kept clean and sanitary. It is not necessary to make the chicken yard a nuisance ground or dumppl place for old shoes and tomatoes cans. Chickens do not thrive on such things. The spectacle of a chicken yard made into a dumping ground for rubbish, and the chickens treated as scavengers, is disgusting, and should not be tolerated in any community. A nice flock of chickens properly cared for and housed and yarded in becoming style may become an attractive feature of the vacant lot, and besides furnishing the daily fresh egg, will afford a mental diversion to some of the older people and a pleasure to the younger members of the family. Young boys and young girls of the town lacking something to do will find in a flock of chickens interest and instruction, and the more ambitious youngster will find opportunity for a study of problems that are of absorbing interest to all students of plant and animal breeding, for though the chicken, it is subject to the same laws of the reddy as are plants and live stock in general. Pront, therefore, may be realized in different ways from chickens on the city lot when given proper care and attention.—Successful Poultry Journal. EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN. To the Colored People of the South: This sea on of the year, for several years, I have spoken a word to you regarding the importance of building up a good, first-class school in every community. Plans are on the way by which during the third week in October, 1913, the colored people throughout the United States will celebrate the fifth-tenth anniversary of their actual freedom as a race. In this connection, it is of the greatest importance that we be able to show to the world the progress that we have made in sustaining and building up first-class public schools, especially in the rural districts. During the last fifty years we have succeeded in reducing our ignorance from 97 per cent to 30 per cent. This is a fine showing for fifty years of freedom. We must not stop, but must go further. The greatest points of weakness just now are in the small country districts. In every case where there are already proper school facilities, the business men, together with the ministers and teachers, should appeal constantly to the public school authorities to see that better provisions are made. Unless we look out for ourselves, we cannot expect other people to do so. As an illustration of what united and constant effort can accomplish, I would state that during the last five years the colored people in Macon County, Alabama, have contributed $12,133.05 toward the building of new schoolhouses; in addition they have contributed $14,000 toward the extension of school terms in the county. The result is that nearly every school district in Macon County has a first-class schoolhouse, well painted and well furnished; the school term has been extended from four to seven months in the year, and the people are continuing to contribute in the way of extra taxax on toward the upkeep of public schools. Something of this kind can be done in every county in the South where there are not satisfactory facilities. In order to indicate the problem that is before us, I understand, on good authority, that in Louisiana in one parish, where there are 8,000 colored people, there is no school building in the entire parish. Of course, such a condition means ignorance, and ignorance means poverty, and poverty means crime. We must not cease to agitate the question of education, to keep the white people in our communities informed concerning our educational inte-ces and desires. We cannot get something for nothing. It is only through constant effort that we shall get education for our children. While in many parts of the South the educational opportunities are so few that it is almost discouraging, in other sections the outlook is bright. For example, at a meeting of the county superintendents of Alabama called by the State Superintendent of Education in Montgomery a few days ago, the following sentiment, relating to the Negro, was unanimously endorsed: "By providing him with schools and churches instead of poison and whiskey, he will make a better and more useful citizen, according to one delegate present. Others expressed their opinion on the Negroes' relation to education, and it was of unanimous opinion that the race should be aided as much as possible by the state." It is encouraging to note, too, that in many counties in the South, the teachers are under the supervision and guidance of Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Anna T. Jeanes Fund, and are doing much to improve the education of the race and to bring about better relations between black and white people. These Jeanes Fund teachers should have the constant support and co-operation of our leaders wherever they are at work. In conclusion, let me urge ministers, teachers, business men, women's clubs and all classes to unite and make this a banner year in the matter of improving the public schools for our race. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. (Signed) Tuskegee Institute, Ala. November 23, 1912. SOIL CONSERVATION AND MOISTURE By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture. In every walk of life I suppose you will find people with hobbies and I guess it is just as well, because the man is going to pretty thoroughly understand his own hobby. I have noticed men myself, each with some prularule subj ct uppermost in their minds and they will not talk long with it reverting to it. I have been told that soil conservation is my hobby, and I guess I have given my associates grounds for their claim, because I will admit that I have given this quest on much thought, as it is the foundation upon which all agricultural activities is founded, and I think it is a very well founded hobby for the farmer. The soil is the farmer's capital and his workshop. He should know all he can about it; how to build it up and increase its fertility; how to keep it from wishing; how to retain moisture in the soil, and how to prevent its becoming water-sourced; how to diagnose it when sick and prescribe the right remedy. We should know how soils take plant food from the air and water and how they convey it to plants. We should know how to tell what is the matter with our soils by the crops growing on them. We should also understand how to cultivate our soils so as to produce good crops and at the same time increase their fertility. When we begin to study the question of soils and their management we find more in it than many of us, thought could possibly be found in everything pertaining to agriculture in all its branches. This week I just want to offer a few suggestion for fall plowing as that subject is beginning to employ the minds of up-to-date farmers. I want to remind you that this is the very best time to subsell if you have any of the hard or plow left on your farm. You know that it is impurious to water and, while it remains there you cannot hope to retain for your land its share of the fifty-three inches of annual rainfall that is Tennessee's greatest blessing and is being let go to waste. We have talked to you in the past about the importance of moisture in plant growth. You have noticed the difference between crops on the same soil when we have sufficient moisture and when there is drought. Then you hear of the wonderful things done out West where they irrigate and pay high prices for water and I have known a few foolish fellows to sell their farms here and go west where they could irrigate the land. They are not to blame. They did not know how they could have that advantage here at home, but I am going to tell you, and I want you to tell your邻居 who falls to get this. You know you have been trying to farm in not more than four inches of soil; in most cases not three inches, with a hard pan impervious to water, and you know that all the moisture you could save for your crop was the little retained by the few inches of soil, the rest run off and carried a lot of plant food with it. You could have saved that moisture and that plant food if you had subsolved your land. If instead of plowing three or four inches deep you had plowed six or eight inches you could have doubled your soil's capacity for water; then if you had added vegetable matter to your soil it is possible for you to have retained eight times the amount of moisture you have been saving. Let us wake up and prose ous by this generous provision of an all wise Providence. We have all the favorable natural conditions of soil, climate, rainfall, etc. We have the natural intelligence, but I am afraid some of us have not as much energy. It has been too easy for us to get along. Let us not be content to just drift along. Let us remember that we have oblations resting upon us; that while we might afford to drift if we alone were concerned, that we have wives who need comforts and luxuries that we should provide them; that we have children who will have to assume life's duties and obligations and under different conditions where competition is stronger; where they will only be the servants of others if they are not prepared for their life's work. For that reason we cannot be true to ourselves and our dependent ones and simply drift with the tide. Let us get in the front ranks of progress; let us learn all we can that will help us 'in our life work and then let us apply it. Now, Brother Farmer, in conclusion, I want to say that it is not altogether want of knowledge with us. It is more our neglect to do the things we know that we can prove from our own experience. What I have said above about storing up moisture and the great value of our annual rainfall, we all know and when planned down, we cannot offer a good excuse for not profiting by the knowledge and experience that we have. Let us do so in the future—it will pay. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE All creditors 'o' Mrs. Susie H. B.

The offi clals of Fisk and A. B.C, had known for several weeks that the game would be played. But this matter can be taken care of later. Having paid fifty cents to see the game it is not necessary to observe newspaper ethies even in reporting a foot ball game, For newspaper ethics would demand that the home team be at least sympathized with, But the home team in this instance threw all press customs to the wind, 60 far as the Globe was concerned, and only extended press courtesies ‘to the white press and the pieturetakers, Well, down to the game. Inthe first half Fisk made a touchdown by a forward pass, It was a beautiful execution and was made in the identi \cal spot where A. B.C, attempted th ‘same thing.

CLARKSVILLE NEGROES ENTER- PRISING-ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ..MUTUAL ..TRUST AND LOAN COMPANY. Clarksville, Tenn., November 25.—Friday night, November 22, according to the call of the stockholders of the Mutual Trust and Loan Company met in their annual meeting at the Odd Fellow's Hall on Franklin street. After a few preliminaries, the vice president, Dr. C. K. A. Kelley, was called to the chair, and the president, Dr. Robert T. Burt, proceeded to make his annual report as follows: Mr. Vice President, Stockholders of the Mutual Trust and Loan Company, Ladies and Gentlemen: On the 27th day of July, 1909, this little institution with an authorized capital of $3,000 was organized, growing as it did quietly out of our local Negro Business League. However, humble our beginning may have been it was substantially permanent until now I feel that we can safely boast that we are almost, if not well upon our feet. I attribute a part of our success to not only our faithful board of directors working harmoniously with other officials, but from the very outset we have had the honor of interesting and holding the confidence of some of Clarksville's and Montgomery County's best and most financial colored men and women, as well as men of influence and financial ability in other states. They paid in their money without the slightest indication of fear as to its safety. And after we had run just one year we found it necessary to increase our capital stock from $3,000 to $5,000. From the secretary's and treasurer's report you will see that our dividends have grown from $2.50 to $140 upon teh capital stock, with an increase of stock paid in from $20 to $1,000 in spite of some odds under which we have had to labor. We have not only paid our dividends in cold cash, but we have paid those who have drawn out on account either of illness, leaving the city or other like circumstances dollar for dollar, which means every dollar they put in was paid back to them with dividends added. It will give one an idea of the confidence when I state with some degree of pleasure that not one has drawn out because of fear of the safety of his money not being disgruntled with the management, for many of those who already carry stock are calling for more. I hold in my hand a letter with cheek from our distinguished friend and former citizen of this city, but now principal of the High School of Evansville, Ind., Prof. Robert L. Yancey, asking me to apply it to stock in the Mutual Trust and Loan Company. I have before me another letter from a member of the Patterson Buggy Firm, of Greenfield, Ohio, saying, "As long as my $25 can make as substantial per cent as the Trust Company of Clarksville has been able to give me, with the same degree of safety, use it and accept my congratulations with a wish for its continued success." Gentlemen and ladies, the few dollars which we have placed in here not only made for us a few dimes, but they have fostered and helped to finance a little institution which lets the outdoor world know that we are not dead. It is building up an enterprise that will ultimately offer employment to young men and women of our race. Now, stockholders and friends, with all due respect to all that has been said in reference to the amount the company has accumulated, the dividends paid, to the safety of the financial management, etc., in this line I feel, according to my humble judgment, it has filled its great mission well. We have not massed great sums of money; we have not attempted great speculations, neither have we paid officers large salaries but we have kept everlastingly at it for three years, we have in a humble and careful way steadily pounded way collecting together month after month dollar here and dollar there and have let them out on interest and like the man given the talents we bring back to you tonight not only the talents, but more. But now, gentlemen, don't expect too much of us; remember you have given us but a few of your dollars to work with; make allowances too for all of us being busy men in our various lines of business and are using this as a side line. I shall not attempt to give figures just here as the secretary's and treasurer's report will give them in full, but suffice it to say that if every stockholder he to call for their money tomorrow he could be paid dollar for dollar. Prof. H. R. Merry, the secretary-treasurer, made his report. He said in part: Mr. President, Members of the Mutual Trust and Loan Company: Gentlemen—It has been mine to administer the affairs of this company for the past three years in the capacity of secretary-treasurer, and tonight as we look over the past we feel that we have attained some degree of success, although far from our ideal. We are on a firm basis and confidence is assured; tonight we are able to show an earning capacity of 19 1-2 per cent, and pay a dividend of 8 per cent, and all stock paid up. Our record has not been startling, but with the small capital at our disposal we have endeavored to be conservative and to pursue the even tenor of our way to ultimate success. We want to thank the president and directors for their assistance during the past years, and we look forward to the coming year, assured that it will be banner year of the association. The following directors were elected: N. S. Dabney, Wm. H. Keesee, Dr. E. Randals, E. F. Tompkins, S. A. Dabney, Ed. Williams, Dr. C. A. Kelly, Dr. S. Jefferson and V. S. Dabney.

COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE APPRECIATES SERVICES OF PRESS Dear Editor: For more than a year now, the progressive papers of Tennessee, without regard to politics, have been publishing "Talks to Farmers" furnished by this department. I want to take this means of expressing to you individually and collectively my earnest appreciation of your splendid co-operation in the effort to improve agriculture and rural life conditions in Tennessee. We have abundant evidence of the splendid results from the publication of Talks to Farmers because we are getting in direct communication with the farmers. They write us for additional information on subjects cussed in the articles published we work hand in hand with them to put in practice the simple practical things we have been suggesting will result in increased profits them, and with the increased revenues they will be able to improve their homes, to provide more reading matter for their families and to further increase their earning capacity. The newspapers are entitled to much of the credit for this awakening and they will, in addition to increased circulation, share in the general prosperity that the increased production all over the State will bring about, to say nothing of the satisfaction of helping their fellowman. I was for sixteen years engaged in publishing a weekly newspaper. I know that newspapers are expected to do more free work than people engaged in any other vocation, and it has been my observation that they most rapidly respond. They can feel the assurance that they are moulding public opinion and that the progress and development of the country is largely in their hands. Thanking you again for the co-operation you have given this Department and assuring you that it is appreciated, I am. Fraternally yours, T. T. PECK, Commissioner.

NEGRO PRISONERS ARE RE LEASED. the jail and called up Judge Neil, I looked at the warrants, which simply charged them with having been loitering a dram shop and disorderly coming around a dram shop and disorderly conduct. Now, there is no state ordinance against loitering about a dram shop, or disorderly conduct. "Judge Neil and I acting together decided that they had not been legally convicted, as state's warrants were sworn out for them on a charge which is not even in the state's law. Therefore, we had them released. In the name of justice there was nothing else to do. "I talked with the Negroes myself, and they denied having pleaded guilty to any such charges. One Negro told me that he had just walked into the place when he was arrested. "Our object in ordering these Negroes released was to prevent wholesome arrests of innocent Negroes to be made and to prevent the county from having to bear the burden of magistrates fees and the like. "A good deal of trouble has come up from time to time along this line, and some magistrates and deputy sheriffs and constables, who are more for enriching their pockets than dispensing justice in the county, are the cause. "There are some deputy sheriffs and constables in this county who make a specialty of laying in wait for Negroes who have just gotten their pay, and then hauling them in and having some magistrate fine them for practically nothing. "The Democrat made a vigorous attack upon this pernicious system some time ago. In case the Negroes cannot pay the fines and costs in the case, why they are sent to the county road and the county then pays the costs to the gentlemen who levied them. "Saturday night after the Negroes have gotten their pay, is harvest time for these men who, as I just said, are more for enriching their pockets than for dispensing justice. "Judge Neil and I have decided that such must stop, and we intend to protect every citizen in this county, no matter if he is the poorest Negro in it; a Negro is entitled to his rights, even though he is a Negro, and since these men were arrested and sent to jail on a charge which does not appear upon the statute books of Tennessee, why justice itself demanded that they be released immediately. Judge Neil Will Continue to Liberate Prisoners. Referring Monday to the eleven Negroes being turned out of jail Saturday night on the ground that there was no State law upon which to hold them, Criminal Court Judge A. B. Neil said that he intended to take action in all such cases where persons are arrested by State and county officers where there is no law to cover their arrests. A bill came in last year for this class of arrests of about $1,000, and I refused to sign the bill for such costs to be paid out. When these kind of arrests are made it simply taxes the county with needless costs. RAILROAD TIME TABLES Louisville & Nashville R. R.
