NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VII. THIS IS NERVE! ORDERED FROM HOME SCHEMERS SELL NEGROES SOME- BODY ELSE'S PROPERTY. City Attorney Ewing Notified of Action—He Trails the Sharks—Real Estate Exchange, Too, Likely to Take a Hand in Stopping the Prac- Not satisfied with having been detected in their underhanded work and their fraudulent practices disclosed to the public, the alleged real estate grafters, recently unearthed by City Attorney Albert G. Ewing and Assistant City Attorney F. M. Garard, are further intimidating their victims, it is said, by calling at the houses, paid for in hard-earned money that took years to accumulate, and ordering them vacated. According to the statement of City Attorney Ewing yesterday, this is what happened to an old ignorant Negro, who unsuspectingly fell a victim to the schemes: This Negro, it is said, purchased a house and lot on Alberta street, North Nashville, and had partially paid for the property by denying himself almost the necessities of life. His idea was to have a home that he might call his own in his old age. Then the legal officials of the city discovered that the property did not belong to the parties that had sold it. Further investigation showed that no taxes had been collected for a number of years, and the real owners of the land were not known. This led to the discovery of several Nashville men who had been "working" the Negroes. The methods employed were fully recounted in the Democrat as soon as they were discovered, showing in detail how three persons, by systematic scheming, could realize a goodly sum off a piece of property that belonged to nobody in particular. Out Schemes Ferring Out Schemes. Since the matter has been disclosed Mr. Ewing has been investigating more thoroughly, and has ferreted out some valuable information, especially in the case of this particular Negro. He stated that the property on Alberta street was purchased a number of years ago for a very small sum by an old Negro. The old Negro died soon after, leaving two small children heirs to his estate. No taxes were ever collected on the property, the two children grew up never knowing that they owned real estate, and, Mr. Ewing said, they probably do not know it yet. Several nights ago, it is said, the parties that had sold the present occupant the house and lot called at his home and told him to either pay or get out. He declined to do either, it is reported, claiming that he had been told by Mr. Ewing to retain possession unless they could show him an abstract to the property. It is claimed that several more words were passed, in which Mr. Ewing's authority to give advice on the matter was challenged. City Attorney Ewing stated yesterday that he was unable to do anything further in a legal way to stop the imposition on the old Negro, but had referred the matter to the Real Estate Exchange to take whatever action they wished. The Real Estate Exchange can not do anything before its next meeting. Mr. Ewing said that he has offers from a number of attorneys of the city to take the matter up, and if the Real Estate Exchange refused to act, he will probably get them to fight the case. Spec. 1 to the Globe. Charleston, S. C., Dec. 7.—Dr. Wm. D. Crum, Minister to liberia, Africa. Dr. Crum was appointed to this post by President Taft in 1911 which he filled most acceptably until stricken with the dreaded fever. Dr. Crum was born in this city February 9, 1859. He attended the old Saxon school that was established in 1869 by the military government for colored children. He later attended the Missionary Institute from which he graduated in 1875 valedictorian. He was a graduate of the medical department of Howard University and began the practice of his profession in 1881. Dr. Crum took a deep interest in the affairs of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of which he was a member. His ability was recognized by the National Government in the appointment he received at the hands of President Roosevelt as the Collector of Customs at the port of Charleston earning a reappointment, as the President declared on his merits. He resigned the position on March 4, 1909 to give his entire time to his practice. The last visit Dr. Crum paid this city was when he delivered the principle address at the dedication of the Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home. He has a number of acquaintances here who remember well his pleasant demeanor. NASHVILLE GLOBE. IMMACULATES OF MISSISSIPPI RAISE BIG ASSESSMENT AT AN NUAL MEETING. Grand Master Bufflington Not Able to Attend—Mr. L. C. Moore, of Mem- phis, resided—Reports from All Departments Show In reases —$3,000 Collected from All Sources. Special to Globe: Leland, Miss., Dec. 9.—The Grand Convention of the Independent Order of Immaculates of the State of Mississippi has just closed here its third session in the state. Rev. J. W. Bufington, Grand Master. But owing to the fact that a few weeks ago Grand Master Buffington was stricken with paralysis, Mr. L. C. Moore, of Memphis, Past District Grand Master of Tennessee, was invited to preside over the Grand Lodge, which he did with honor to himself and credit to the order. Grand Master Moore is one of the best informed Immaculates that has visited this state. He is indeed an able presider. He is cool-headed and deliberate in his manner. He also conferred the degree on new members and installed the grand officers. Mrs. Lucy Hightower, Court Deputy, of Memphis, a very proficient worker in the I. O. I. Court work, was also present. The order in this state is on a boom. Nearly two hundred delegates were in attendance at the session and over $3,000 endowment and Grand Lodge taxes were collected. Prof. J. T. Strong, the secretary and treasurer of the Endowment, is a wide awake-business man. He is loved by all in his state. He and Grand Master Buffington are bringing things to pass. The Grand body was all in smiles when they got an inkling that the Supreme Grand Lodge was coming to Mississippi. Yazoo City was selected for the next meeting place. GOV. HOOPER AND BOARD OF EDUCATION VISIT STATE NORMAL The A. & I State Normal School enjoyed an especial privilege last week of having a visite fro Gov. Hoopen and the other members of the State Board of Education, which was holding its regular session in the city at that time. The faculty and student body were greatly impressed with the 5-GLOBE WIN Dec 11 Governor's address and the remarks of the Board. The former urged upon those who are in attendance at this institution to cultivate race pride, a thing so much lacking in the Negro, but not to the detriment of the love for the races. He went on further to show that there are too many things of which the Negro, as a race, should be proud, and so many things good peculiar to it. that should be cultivated and perpetuated; as, for instance, the singing of the Jubilee Melodies, which no other race can sing as the Negro. The remarks of all were very encouraging, showing that the whole heart and soul in the work which they had undertaken, namely, the education of te Negro youth of the State of Tennessee. After partaking of dinner, to which they had so cordially been invited by President Hale, the Board expressed themselves well pleased with the school in all of its phases. The second term of the school began Monday, December 2nd, with an increased enrollment in all departments. Within a few days the Industrial and Agricultural Departments will be equipped with machinery, which is now on the road. There will be also additional equipments for the class rooms in the Academic Department. On Thursday a spectar visit was paid to the school by Prof. T. B. Williams, of Hampton Institute, who travels in the interest of the Slater Board and Jeans Fund. Prof. Williams had the opportunity of speaking to the student body at the chapel exercises, as well as Prof. Poindexter, of Fisk University, who accompanied htm. The Athletic Association feels that it is on the road to holding the championship, being two months old and having won four games out of five this season.

Gilead Baptist Sunday Schools are to be invaded by the campaign committee, consisting of H. A. Boyd, Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress; J. B. Ridley, State Vice President of the Metakosas, and Rev T. J. Lewis, Chairman of the Sunday-School Union, on next Sunday and the Sunday following. Rev. Tunstall, pastor of the Sixth Street Baptist Church, and Rev. Page, pastor of the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, with their superintendents, were enthusiastic over the prospects of having a visit from Gov. Hooper NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY DECEMBER 13, 1912. DR. HOWARD AT PADUGAH CELEBAATED EVANGELIST HELD SUCCESSFUL MEETING. Great Religious Awakening in Famous Old Church—Large Number of Converts in Fifteen Days—No Sensationalist—No Set Meth- ods—Plain Gospel—Call By P. A. Nichols. Special to the Globe Special to the Globe. Paducah, Ky., Dec. 6.—Dr. S. L. Howard, Secretary of the Evangelistic Bureau of the A. M. E. Connection, came to Paducah and found the spiritual condition of the famous old Burks Chapel at low tide, due largely to the members devoting several years to the collection of means with which they have erected one of the most magnificent and well appointed church buildings owned by Negroes in the state. Because of the spiritual lethargy which had so long hung over the membership like a mighty pall, there was some doubt and misgivings on the part of the few faithful as to the propriety of going to the expense of having Dr. Howard come from Nashville to conduct a revival. After fifteen days, when sixty-seven persons had been converted, the majority of whom were strong men, and $2 added to the church and $250.00 were collected, all doubts and misgivings faded away and the common expression on all sides was, "surely this man is sent to do this particular kind of work." Dr. Howard is no sensationalist. He makes use of no catchy phrases or vulgar expressions so common to the modern Evangelist. He has no set methods but has departed from the old time custom of preaching sermons descriptive of hell fire, damnation, eternal destruction, at the close of which call for "mourners." He first, before preaching, invites the unsaved to come forward and sit on the front seat and listen while he explains to them the Bible. During the fifteen nights he never failed to have the front seats filled with men, and women who sat with attentive ears while he, in a plain, simple, logical, and powerful manner, explained to them the Scriptures. His appeal is to the intellect and the reason, and not to the feelings and emotions, and he clinches the truth with apt illustrations drawn from everyday live. He does this with a logic that is convincing; a pathos that is melting and with a power that is overmastering. The intelligent manner in which he conducts his revivals; his simple method of explaining the scripture to the unsaved, and his tact in getting on friendly terms with the shiners and getting them to feel at "home" on the front seat, are responsible for the large number of men conceived in his meetings. He left here under a telegram call, to conduct a meeting in St. Paul, St. Louis, Mo., for Dr. W. Sampson Brooks. ASSOCIATION TO CONTINUE According to the vote registered by the majority of the stockholders represented in the Tennessee State Fair Association, the association will continue. The special meeting which was held in the Directors' room of the One Cent Savings Bank Thursday evening, was called to determine if the membership desired liquidation or continuation. One of the stockholders present said Friday morning that there was recorded but one vote in favor of liquidation, however, it was handed out that a statement would be prepared for publication notifying all stockholders who desired to withdraw from the Association that they would be paid a pro-rata of the cash now on hand for stock invested. The Treasurer of the Fair Association was authorized to pay such parties as applied, with the amount of the valuation of the stock due on pro rata basis. A committee consisting of Messrs. J. B. Singleton, T. Clay Moore, Dr. J. Alonzo Napier, C. N. Langston and J. F. Battle was named to go over the books and pro rata the stock. All of these resolutions were offered the Association and declared to be the opinion of the stockholders by vote for the benefit of the Negroes of the State of Tennessee. It was also ordered that two months from December 5th that the Fair Association meet and elect new officers for 1913. After the meeting several enterprising gentlemen made cash bids for the charter rights of the Association, but they refused to sell. After the adjournment, however, several shares of stock changed hands at an advanced rate over the pro rata that was figured at the meeting. This was considered to be one of the most interesting fair association meetings held in several years. Owing to the absence of Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the United States Treasury, who is also President of the Fair Association, Dr R. H. Boyd presided throughout this meeting and will probably preside at the January meeting. DOCTORS HOLD PUBLIC MEETING ADVISE PEOPLE HOW TO KEEP WELL. Splendid Gathering at Pleasant Green Baptist Church—Subject Pertaining to Health Discussed—How to Live Longer the Object—People Told of Tuberculosis Hospital. At Pleasant Green Baptist Church Monday night, the Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery held their semi-annual public meeting. Programs had been printed and distributed in the community and announcement had been made by the press, but only a fair sized audience was on hand to witness the program. Dr. J. H. Hale, master of ceremonies, introduced Dr. F. A. Stewart as the first speaker, who was to speak on the subject of Relation of the Public to the Profession and the Relation of the Profession to the Public. Dr. Stewart handled his subject in a plain, straightforward, businesslike way, and showed those who were present that by a mutual effort both the physicians and the public could be greatly benefited. The subject was discussed by Dr. C. V. Roman, who, in his usual humorous and witty but philosophical reasoning made a clear, convincing talk as to the relation that exists between the physician and public. He abused the idea so prevalent among the Negro to condemn all men for the acts of one "and," said he, "if no doctor in this house gives you the service you want it is not necessary to decide that you will have no Negro doctors, for," said he, "we have fifty in Nashville." Dr. C. H. Bandy was on the program to discuss "Our Own Hospital." Dr. Voorhees, "The Care of the Teeth as a Prevention of Disease." Dr. Boutte, "The Relation of the Pharmacist to the Community." They were all absent, but Dr. F. G. Smith opened the discussion on the subject of "Relation of the Pharmacist to the Community." He stated, however, that he could not discuss the paper of Dr. Boutte because it had not been read, but Dr. Smith did make a splendid talk on the subject in a general way. He emphasized that first of all the pharmacist should have what the people want and should get acquainted with the people and make them realize that he is one of them. He referred to the fact that other cities in Tennessee and several of the small towns have better drug stores than Nashville. But he cited the fact that there are bright prospects ahead for this city and that there is here now a_drug store conducted by a young man of the race that he considers first-class in every respect, and said he believes the young man has the tact to make his enterprise a success. Dr. Smith was very practical in his remarks, and while he believed that the people should patronize enterprises conducted by men of the race, he did not fall to emphasize what the pharmacist, or any other business man owes to the people. businessmen to love to the people. Dr. C. O. Hadley read a paper on "Tuberculosis." Stereoptic views were to have been made by Dr. Holman and Lester, but while Dr. Lester was there with the slides, Dr. Holman failed to reach the scene with his machine. Dr. Lester gave a splendid talk on the subject and urged the people to take advantage of the new Tuberculosis Hospital that has been established by this city and county for those afflicted with such diseases. "This hospital," said he, "is located in beautiful country richly endowed with nature's gifts, and is so conducted that anyone would be compelled to gain a new lease on life if they would go there." He urged the colored people to go and take advantage of their opportunity now, "for if we neglect to use the hospital after it has been provided for us, it will in time be taken away and given to those who will appreciate it." Dr. Lester said this hospital was the best he had ever seen and strictly urged the people to break loose from those families, if there was one in the finally suffering from tuberculosis, and send them to the hospital and let them remain there until they are well. This hospital is located a few miles out of the city. It consists of two wings, one for white and one for colored people. So far as construction is concerned, they are identical in every respect just as large, just exactly the same in every way; and the same attention and treatment are given to the colored as to the white patients. In this institution there is absolutely no difference in treatment. The Mayor and city officials in conjunction with the county officials have built this institution for the good alike of all the people of this county. The meeting Monday night will be productive of much good to those who were present, and as it is the plan of the Academy to hold such meetings from time to time, it is believed that the public will in the future take advantage of these opportunities to learn how to live.

One Approached Recently on Public Thoroughfare — Deed Committed in Midday—Girl Frightened Almost Into Spasms—Speedy Retreat to Safety—In- truder Departs. Friday of last week a young lady of this city was accosted on the high- way in midday by a woman who was a stranger to her. She approached the young lady and asked her many do you live? Where do you work? What do you do? Where are you go- ing?" and other questions of a like nature. She finally wound up by tell-questions, among them were "Where ling her she would like to have her go home with her as she wanted a nice looking girl at her house, and that she would not have to work so hard. This girl was frightened almost into a spasm. She had no answer that she could give the intruder, but she understood that it was best for her to get out of the presence of that person as quickly as possible. So without exchanging any words she left the woman standing in the street with her eyes fixed on a slender figure speeding down the street as rapidly as her feet could carry her without running. The first impulse that seized this young lady when she realized just what kind of demon's presence she was in was to scream to the top of her voice, but the whole affair was so sudden and unexpected that she found herself paralized. She wanted to give alarm but her voice failed her; and there was nothing to do but to get out of the way. When seen by a Globe representative the young lady was asked what kind of looking woman it was who approached her and if she secured her name. She said "No, I did not ask her anything and I was so dumb-founded that I am not certain I could give you an intelligent description of her appearance." Nothing could be learned that would serve as an identity of this woman who attempted to enslave an innocent girl. The affair happened in midday and on one of the public thoroughfares of Nashville. It has been the talk of the town where it has become known, and mothers realize the great danger their daughters are in when on the public streets. This case shows that there is no select time for the slave trafficians, and that they are as bold as lions and as goats roving the streets in sheep's clothing. No girl is secure from an attack from one of these maudraes. They may be expected anywhere, and parents will have to always be on the alert to protect their girls, and boys as well, for these demons do not stop at leading girls astray, but actually decoy young boys of tender years to their houses of infamy. LEAVES PRISONN FINDS HIMSELF RICH Montgomery, Ala., November 30.—Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but not often. Sometimes a man wakes up in the morning to find himself famous, but it is not often that a man languishes in fall for twenty-four years, is paroled, and goes hometo find himself the possessor of a snug fortune. Such is the case with Albert Kelley, of Colbert County, who was paroled by Governor O'Neal a days ago. Kelley was sent up in 1889 to serve life imprisonment for murder, and after twenty-four years of faithful service to the state he was given his freedom. Before his conviction Kelley invested a few dollars in some Birmingham property, when the Magis City was but a small village. The purchase price was insignificant, probably less than $500, perhaps less than $200, but when Kelly got out of prison he discovered that his property was worth between $20,000 and $20,000. The story was given out at the Capitol, but no one could say where the property is located. It is certain, however, that Kelley still possesses a title to the property and that the fortune he has will be sufficient to maintain him in great comfort during the remainder of his life. NORTH NASHVILLE NEGROES PROTEST It is learned from well authorized sources that the protest of the North Nashville citizens against the saloon operated at the corner of Jackson street and 14th avenue, North, in connection with a grocery store, will either result in the removal or kept in surveillance by the police authorities of the place that it may prove less obnoxious to the neighborhood. A petition signed by a large number of the voters and tax payers in the Third Ward was sent to Mayor Howse several weeks ago. It is reported that the Mayor took immediate steps and with the police department under Chief Curran and his Lieutenants instructed that investigations be made and order observed.

This, the largest, and wealthiest Grand Lodge of colored Masons in the country, and made famous by the late M. W Grand Master, Bishop E. D. Lampton, has long been the central organization of the remarkable set of men contributing to the leadership of the more than a million Negroes in this state. Seven hundred delegates were present. Ten thousand members were reported enrolled in 426 subordinate lodges. The features of the communication were the report of the financial wizard, Charles Banks, whose duties as Secretary-Treasurer or the Masonic Benefit Association involve the collection and disbursement each year of more than $100,000.

Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the journalist, who spoke before a packed house at an open session. The next communication will be held in Canton, December, 1913. FREE BOAT RIDE TO SAVANNAH. Special to the Globe Clifton, Tenn., Dec. 9.—On Sunday, December 8th, Mr. J. E. DeFord, manager of the Clifton Tennessee River Packet Co., gave a free excursion exclusively for the colored people of Savannah, Tenn., to the historic Shiloh National Park, on the Belle of Savannah, one of the company's newest, largest and most elaborately-furnished boats on the river. The whole afternoon was spent on the trip and everyone enjoyed themselves to the utmost. This is the first free excursion even given to the colored people. Every one extended their appreciation of the trip. Good will and success to the company. Mr. DeFord is a gentleman of high ideals and cannot be accused of favoritism or prejudice. He seems to be endowed with a supernatural attitude or kindness for the colored people that cannot ever be forgotten. NASHVILLE AUTO PARTY VISITS GALLATIN. Special to the Globe.

Mr. Clark was taken to Chattanooga some weeks ago to be operated on at the hospital, but his condition was so poor that it was not performed. His wife and daughter, Hattie Mai, were at his bedside when he breathed his last. He was a member of the Pythian fraternity of this place. Rev. Mr. Huchinson represented the order and accompanied the family and remains to Fayetteville, where the Pythians laid him to rest. The family has the sympathy of many hearts here. CLIFTON NOTES.

A good many of men are hunting some Christmas money by supporting ties on a tieboard lying here. Mrs. Bettie Speares, one of Clifton's best women, is busy quilting and has the reputation of being one of the best and fastest outliers in town. Rev. Cooper is a good preacher, carpenter and pastor.

Also they will give their Christmas tree and concert on the night of December 25th. Prof. A. M. Jackson, of Roger Williams University, is expected to be in town next Saturday and Sunday. Miss Mamie A. Turner will be home Christmas to spend the holidays with her parents. She is now in school at Fisk University. Prof. L. Meredith, who has been down with rheumatism, is some better. Prof. Meredith was the successful principal of the city school at McMinnville, Tenn., for several years, but was forced to give up the work on account of ill health. He taught more than a year when he was really not able; but he seems to have the pluck to stick to his duty, and if necessary fall at his post in the line of duty. His friends here wish him a speedy recovery. The Baptist Institute closed its session here last week. Mr. N. N. Reynolds was in Columbia last Wednesday. COMMUNICATION SCHOOL NEEDS AT PIKEVILLE. By Rev. A. B. Borex. To the Nashville Globe: I am a reader of your most excellent paper, and know that every person of our race would profit much if they would read the Globe. We very highly endorse what Booker T. Washington says in the Globe of November 29th, concerning the education of the race and to the putting on first-class schools throughout the South in the rural districts. We are endeavoring to raise the standard of education in Biedso County. Quite a number of successful farmers live in this county, and men and women in other businesses and professions of life, who have large families of children that need an education, and they are hardly able to send them all to Nashville, Chattanooga or Knoxville to give them a normal or classical education, so therefore it is very necessary that a first-class school be established here in Pipeville, the county seat of Bledso County. We might refer to a few of the men and women who make up our citizenship: Mr. C. F. Springs, who is one of the most successful business men the race has anywhere furnishes nearly all the coal the people of this town use, runs a livery stable and has an eye single to business in a general way. Mr. John Billingbys, the chief barber, is adapted to his business and has the main trade of the town. He has several children to educate, but the free school is inadequate to the task. Mr. James Vernon, one of the most successful farmers in the country, raises from 700 to 1,500 bushels of corn each year and other produce in promotion. He also has several children. Mr. Monroe Cummings lives on his own land and farms his own way and raises everything in the way of vegetables and much more than he can use; he conducts other businesses and being without any education himself is desirous of educating his children. Mr. Ed. Cook, porter and fagman on the N. C. and St. L. Railway, one of the roost frugal and energetic men of the race, has at this time two children in school at Chattanooga, and the primary school just closed. Mr. John Hutcheson, a farmer of no mean ability, raises corn, wheat, notatoes and other products in great quantities. He has several children to be educated. Mr. Jasner Lawson, a successful farmer whose corn crib is taxed to its utmost capacity just now and a lots of corn left out to put on the market, after fattening several hogs for meat and market. He has several children, some of them now in the 3rd and 5th grades in the primary school. Mr. John Roberson, a farmer of wide experience and great tact. His crib is almost run over and corn in the field with hogs fast ready for the slaughter; chickens, ducks and all kinds of fouls in the poultry yard. He also has ten children with none beyond the 5th grade. And many others too numerous to mention of like character and ability who, if they could be influenced to lend some assistance, could soon have on a first-class school or a high school. But the people above mentioned are asleep to their own educational interest. We appointed a committee on education in the early part of the fall, and we were to have an educational meeting and rally in connection with our Thanksgiving exercise, but that part of the meeting failed at that time. The committee was very busy. Committee: Prof. I. P. Springs, Allen Hixson, Charley Swafford, Ernest Pankey, John Roberson, James Vernon, Rev. F. B. Pryor, Miss Elliza Hughes and Rosey Hixson.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1912. Dr. W. D. Crum. The death of Dr. Wm. D. Crum removes from national life a character of great renown. He was a man of high standing in his community, whose integrity was not questioned. He came into national prominence when he was appointed Collector of Customs at the Port of Charleston by President Roosevelt. It will be recalled that the Senate refused several times to confirm the appointment, basing the same upon the bitter attack of Senator Ben Tillman, of South Carolina. But the persistence of the President finally won over enough votes in the Senate to confirm the appointment. All through that trying time those who knew Dr. Crum best say that he deported himself in the most manly way, and thereby won many friends of all classes. No better evidence of the man's worth and standing is necessary than to recall the fact that President Taft, in carrying out his Southern policy, felt duty bound to give some recognition to this faithful and efficient public servant, and to appease a pricking conscience he appointed Dr. Crum Minister to Liberia. It was while in performance of his duties at this post that he was stricken down by the African fever from which he never recovered. The nation has lost a faithful servant in the death Dr. Crum, and the Negro race one of its strongest men. Nenro Dailies Negro Dailies. We are pleased to acknowledge receipt of the Daily Reporter, a paper published six days in every week in Jacksonville, Fla., by Negroes. It is a treat to find on our desk every morning a copy of a paper published by black people. It shows that the Negroes of this country are making great headway in collecting and publishing news. We also have information that the Daily Spokesman is being issued by the Negroes of New Orleans. La. The advent of these dallies in the realm of Negro journalism speaks volumes for a people who have always taken a deep interest in the publication of newspapers, but who have been hampered in their efforts from a lack of finance, and more so from the lack of knowledge of the art of printing and dissemination. There are hundreds of Negro weeklies, and the majority of them are being improved and are a great force in the development of the race. Part of this is due to experience and part to the energy of the newspaper unions that see in the ambition of the Negro to have newspapers an opportunity to reap a harvest. But the Negro is learning something about journalism, and as a result we have several first-class weekly papers published by black men in this country. We are not surprised to learn of these dallies. For they come as a natural consequence just as they come to other races. Less than a hundred years ago there were few dally papers in the South. But now every town of ten thousand or more inhabitants feels that it must have a daily paper. So it is with the colored people. In those cities where they have a population of twenty thousand or more they realize that it is possible for Negroes to conduct daily newspapers if the majority of the Negro people will support them. But those who have been in the newspaper business for many years know that an attempt to publish a daily paper means competition with the daily papers already published. And as a consequence the matter of publishing dallies is carefully considered before attempted. We will not be surprised at any time to read of other attempts along this line. In fact, there have been dallies run by Negroes in years past. We recall the daily paper that was published in North Carolina in the city of Wilmington that was destroyed by a mob during the administration of President McKinley. In more recent times the versatile Phil. H. Brown published for a while a daily paper in Hopkinsville, Ky. The venture in that case could not be expected to be permanent in view of the fact that there were not enough people to support the enterprise. But all these attempts show that Negroes will in time have their daily papers in those communities where the number of Negroes is sufficient to warrant a circulation on which a daily paper could hope to subsist. Bishop A. W. Walters was banqueted in New York recently. A big crowd was on hand to do honor to the distinguished prelate, and the most of them acted just like democrats. At the rate the new faith cure is working it seems that there will be adherents enough to keep the Black Cabinet up to the full quota. Why We Die. On last Monday night the Negro physicians of this city held a public meeting at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church on Jefferson street. The meeting was called for the purpose of instructing the people how to guard against the enormous death rate that is destroying the Negro citizens of Nashville. It is to be regretted that so few of the citizens in that community were present. We do not know where to place the blame. We are loath to believe that a community that is blessed with such a high average intelligence can possibly be indifferent to their health. Many things were said by the physicians that would have been helpful to all; and when it is remembered that the physician makes his living by attending the sick, this effort can be the more appreciated. Some people, and not in any sense the minority, will not send for the doctor until they are comined to their bed; but the physician would much rather serve people to keep them well than to be eternally working to raise one from a sick bed. It is much better to adopt the "ounce of preventive" method instead of the "pound of cure." We admit that the doctor charges as much for a visit when we are well as he does when we are sick, but if the doctor can remedy our trouble by one visit instead of a half dozen or more we are the gainers. It is a tremendous task that rests upon the leaders of the race to check, if possible, the death rate. We are dying too fast, and we have as much right to live as any other people. But we cannot live unless we know how. There is no more reason for Negroes having tuberculosis now than there was fifty years ago, so far as physique is concerned, but there are many causes that bring it on. Some of these causes were mentioned at the Monday night meeting. All of them could possibly have been touched upon, but by the constant hammering away by the doctor, the preacher and the teacher much can be accomplished along this line. Parents, first of all, must take charge of their children, and regulate their habits. We would suggest that one, and at the outset, not more than two names be put on the program to talk. Negroes, as a class, don't like to hear too many men talk on the same night. Furthermore, it takes too long for so many men to talk at one meeting. We hope these gatherings will continue. We see the dawn of a brighter day for the Negroes of Nashville if all of the leaders will decide as the doctors have—to throw themselves in the breech and work for the common good. Fruits of Kindness. There is nowhere in this country to be found plainer evidences of the fruits of kindness than is exhibited in the city of Nashville at this time. Kindness comes from the cultivation of habit, and the people of Nashville we mean particularly the white people, have through many years of educational training learned to feel kindly toward her less fortunate citizens. The spirit of tolerance has always prevailed in Nashville, and those citizens who were released from slavery less than fifty years ago have been made to know that in this city every self-respecting and industrious person will receive a fair chance to get an education and to earn an honest living, and that they can live here in peace and contentment. The quietness of Nashville and the peace that reigns among her citizens have attracted the people of the nation. And so, as a result this city has been selected for the carrying out of a great educational scheme that will in truth and in act make Nashville the "Athens of the South." If the plans that are on foot and under contemplation materialize, and there is every reason to believe they will. Nashville will become the educational center, so far as the Negro is concerned, of the nation. box shaped and cut up crosswise into three rooms. A sill, in the room in which the school was held, was broken on one side, tarowing up the floor in the middle of the room. Every pane of glass was out of the window, the door could not be closed. Those who are interested in education have not selected Nashville for this undertaking because of the geographical situation alone, but because of the friendliness that exists and the kindness exhibited on the part of the white people toward the black people. There is a great power in kindness. We do not believe the white people of Nashville realized themselves just what the ultimate outcome of their spirit of tolerance would be, but it was in them by nature born. It was the hand of Providence working through these people to the day that now exists when the people of a great nation could by a careful search find one city in that nation where it would be possible for the educational leaders to found a great educational center from which leaders for a young nation could be trained and sent out to every quarter that they might go into every community and lay the foundation for the building of a great nation within a great nation to work side by side with the master class for the development of a great country. Nashville truly does possess a citizenship with hearts full of kindness and at the same time with courage and a conviction of justice and fairness toward all men. Not a Meharry Student. We wish to correct that part of the article that appeared in this paper last week relative to a proposed dance at the Carnegie Library that referred to a Meharry student. The party is not in any way connected with Meharry Medical College. We feel that this explanation is due the student body of Meharry. At Pleasant Green Baptist Church Monday night, one of Nashville's popular dentists convinced an audience that he had cured a case of paralysis by pulling a tooth. If that doctor can cure corns by the same method he will never have idle hours again. Gov. Blease wants to get at Jack Johnson. They are on a level, and it would be, we imagine, a capital idea to put them in a ring, oh, say ten by ten. Gee, what fun! The Progressive and Republican parties are much in evidence now. One must take a back seat. Which it will be is the all-absorbing question. If you have not done your Christmas shopping don't overlook the ads in this paper. They tell of the Santa Claus things. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. Our esteemed contemporary, the Nashville Globe, set a new record in Negro journalism in getting out its holiday edition of the 22nd ult. It did itself proud and reflected credit upon the entire craft. We may have seen a better holiday edition, but if so we do not recall the occasion at this writing. In addition to a full complement of news of local and general interest, it has an illustrated article on the A. M. E. Union of that city, and one on the National Baptist Publishing Board and manufacturing plant, the largest in the world owned and controlled by Negroes. Another article of more than passing interest is the one on poultry development among Negroes. The advertisements reflect the prosperity of the business enterprises of the race there, as well as the enterprise of the publishers. Gentlemen here to you, and may you live long and continue to make good as you are now doing—Dallas (Tex.) Express. ORGANIZED TWO CLASSES. Foster's Chapel Baptist Church was comfortably filled last Friday night to witness the erection of a Metoka and Galeda class, by Rev. H. A. Boyd, assisted by his father, Dr. R. H. Boyd, the Secretary of the Publishing Board. The attendance was larger, perhaps, than any ever seen on a similar occasion. The pastor, rev. G. B. Bolding and his superintendent, Mr. Tom Groom, had made every possible preparation for this occasion. The officers of the Galeda class are as follows: Mrs. Mary Bolding, President; Mrs. M. L. Groom, Vice President; Mrs. Hattie Goodlee, Secretary, and Miss Milkred Martin, Treasurer. The officers of the Metoka class are as follows: President, Mr. Tom Groom; Vice President, Mr. Andrew Pitts; Secretary, Mr. Ford Bolding; Treasurer, John Davis. Charters were granted these classes and Rev. Bolding reports that much enthusiasm was injected into this body of Sunday-school workers as a result of Friday night's meeting. A TYPE OF NÉGRO RURAL SCHOOL What are some of the facts about the condition of Negro public education in Virginia? There are about 2,200 Negro public schools in the state. Of this number a conservative estimate would give 2,000 of them as one room schools. Many of the schools have no home at all. They are carried on in rented halls, or in old shacks and log cabins. In one county that we visited, a school was held in one room of an abandoned Negro dwelling house. This house was box shaped and cut up crosswise into three rooms. A sill, in the room in which the school was held, was broken on one side, tarrowing up the floor in the middle of the room. Every pane of glass was out of the window, the door could not be closed, and the walls of the room were black with smoke, dirt and cobwebs. The teacher's chair was without bottom, her table was made of an old drygooods box, very roughly put together, the benches on which the children sat would not stand upright except when the children were sitting on them, and the stove was so full of holes that it hardly held the fire. The whole place was reeking with odors and smells common to old, discarded houses where old shoes, rags, and a thousand other things are left around. This is one of the worst types of schoolhouses in the state, yet there are many of its kind. Much has been done during the last ten years in the rural districts in school decoration and improvement by the untiring and unselfish efforts of Mr. Thomas C. Walker and others yet because of the extensiveness of the field and the difficulties of the work, much yet remains to be done in this direction.—J. M. Gandy in the Southern Workman. COMMUNICATIONS RICHARD MERRILL EXPLAINS DANCE PLANNED AT CARNE GIE LIBRARY Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 10, 1912. Editor, Nashville, Globe. Editor Nasville Globe: Dear Sir—There appeared in the Nashville Globe of Friday, December 6, an article headed "Dance Planned at Carnegie Library," which has been heralded all over our city, state and otherwise, causing me to be severely criticized and a reflection to be cast upon the entire race. I feel very much aggrieved and would like very much to make a few statements through the columns of your next issue that my friends may know the truth as it is, and if possible remove the blot from the name of the young men of Meharyar Medical College caused by such statements as appeared in the article. These are the facts and I earnestly ask the public to weigh them for their worth. In the very first place I am the custodian of the Library. Therefore the custodian nor any of the officials, to my knowledge, were expected to be away. As has been the custom the porters have been allowed to have entertainments, at the Library ever since there has been a Carnegie Library in Nashville. No dancing allowed, however. So that's no new feature. As Thanksgiving was approaching my wife and I decided we would entertain a few friends at the Carnegie Library. I therefore got permission from the Librarian, Miss Crutchfield, to have the entertainment on Thanksgiving night. In speaking of the matter a few days before Thanksgiving to a young man (not a student of Mehary Medical College) I suggested that he invite some of the young people. He, without my knowledge or my wife's knowledge, proceeded to have printed invitations announcing a dance, and issued them among many of his friends. He didn't know that dancing was prohibited at the Library. In fact he misunderstood the word entertainment, and really thought by having the invitations printed he was furnishing a pleasant surprise to me. However, the entertainment doubtless would have been a pleasant affair had not some person taken it upon himself to interfere by going to the trouble to notify the officials of the Library and to paint a very black picture of the affair to this official. After this colored man (and a supposed friend of mine) thus interfered by making a terrible picture of the whole affair to this white official, naturally the official hearing the howls of supposed representatives of the Negro race, thought he had better look into the matters. Thus he began the investigation, which I am proud to say did not result in the loss of my job nor the Librarian's, who gave us permission to have an entertainment. After the sensation arose and went its rounds I then decided to abandon the idea of having the affair at all and so notified the young man, who proceeded at once to call in the invitations. I am glad to say the Carnegie Library was not surrounded by policemen or any officers of the law; there was no police patrol or any hereafter about the entertainment more than what this gentleman of our own race and the Globe has seen fit to make of it. I never "liked away" as the Globe has said, for I had no cause to do so. I was at the Carnegie Library in my own room. Allow me to say I have worked only at three places since I was twelve years old; namely: The Standard Club, the Athletic Club and am now custodian of Carnegie Library, which position I have held for some time. During my lifetime I have never found it necessary to "slip around and entertain my friends by unfair means or without the necessary knowledge of my employees." I am paid a liberal salary and give myself credit of having some common sense. I don't think any sensible person would hardly plan an entertainment at the Carnegie Library without at least consulting some one of the officials, and allow me to say further that colored citizens and some of Nashville's very best citizens too have attended entertainments at the Carnegie Library without a single one being arrested or ridden to jail in the police patrol. Now I very much regret the occurrence of the whole affair and hope that the public and my friends especially will accept the truth as it is here given. I remain, RICHARD A. MERRILL. Custodian of the Carnegie Library NEGRO PRESIDENTS OF NEGRO COLLEGES. I did not think it would have been necessary for me again to make an attempt to "show my hand" in the discussion of this subject. But when you, in your current issue of the Globe, would have your readers be lieve that after boiling down my contention "to its final analysis," I mean that the time is "not ripe" for a Negro president to preside over Fisk University, you do me an injustice. And I am quite sure you do not mean to do that. Especially, when the "ripness" is construed to mean incompetency. In order to ease your own conscience, will you please give your readers the benefit of the expression, by quoting my words, which indicated such a thing? But for fear that something I may have said might have been so construed by others than yourself, I wish to say most emphatically, that I believe that there are no less than one hundred died-in-wool Negro men, capable of holding the position of president of Fisk University. The wonder to me is, how you could see nothing in my article but a plea for Fisk's greatness, and the incompetency of the Negro race. Read the article again. You say that I admit that the contention of the Globe is right." In this, you again mislead the reader. I did not admit that the "contention of the Globe is right" with respect to the temper of the Board of Trustees to put a Negro at the head of Fisk. I agreed with you with reference to something you told in a special paragraph, and if you take my article and read it again you will find that you are mistaken. In discussing this question, I wish again to insist that the opposition "stick to the text." You say, "We wonder what there is about Fisk University that makes Negroes deve that this institution will go to pieces if entrusted to the care of Negroes." Now, in all fairness, did I say that the Negroes believed such a thing? I was expressing my own individual opinion, and even then I did not give expression to such an utterance, neither did what I said, have such a significance. You say again, "It cannot be said that all Negroes have failed as presidents of colleges." That statement is purely gratuitous. Who has said such a thing as that? On the contrary, I called attention to a number of Negro colleges (and I did not name them all) where Negroes were successfully managing Negro colleges. But again, I agree with you when you say, "some of our largest and most successful institutions are guided by minds of black men." But you constantly lose sight of my contention, or else you are unfair in your discussion. The crux of my contention is, that Fisk University is not a Negro school, but a white man's school; that it is controlled by white men, and that Negroes have no right to contend for attitudes not belong to them. You say again, "Doe Dr. Jones mean that the Negro has not learning, nor the training, nor the executive ability to handle such an institution?" No, I do not mean any such thing, and nothing I have said can be possibly interpreted to have such a meaning. How could I believe it, in the face of the fact that there are scores of Negro men even now holding such positions But when you mention the Booker T. Washington school, the State Normal and the Wiley University in connection with this discussion, it is simply begging the question. There is no comparison. First, Booker T. Washington organized his own school, and although it is now owned and controlled by the whites, there has never been any other but a Negro at its head and probably will never be. As to the State Normal, "It was never intended that any one but a Negro should preside over it. So that needs no argument. But you strike me a "knock out", you think, when you say, "Wiley University" is owned and controlled by white people, and Dr. M. W. Dogan is president, and he is every semblance of being a Negro." Are you sure you are right? Suppose you become a little better informed as to who owns Wiley University. Suppose you ask any well-informed Methodist minister, and especially one of the M. E. Church, colored. See what he will say. If you and I are in partnership in a business, you may own a controlling colored man at its head, it is their share, but you do not own the business absolutely. No, Mr. Editor, Fisk and every other Congregational school in the country stand in a class by themselves. If the American Missionary Association, which controls Fisk University, sees fit to establish a preparatory school somewhere and put a colored man at its head, it is their privilege. And it occurs to me that they have done so in two or three instances. But they have never done it at the dictation of the Negroes. The Anglo-Saxon has always done what he pleased with his own. And my opinion is that it will be a long time before they will be pleased to put a man at the head of Fisk, simply because he is a Negro, and because they consider the institution a Negro school. Now, I did say in closing my last article that there were other reasons which I might give, for my position. I will name one in closing this article. Fisk University is not only not a Negro institution, but it is a Congregational school. That church owns it and controls it. It has been the policy of the Board of Trust to place a Congregational minister at its head. The Negroes, as a race, have no more right to lay claim to the presidency of Fisk University than they have, as a race, to lay claim to the presidency of Wilberforce, or Roger Williams, or Lane College. The denominations owning and controlling these schools are going to see to it that men of their own religious faith are placed at their heads. Grant that there are a thousand Negroes in this country competent, from an educational point, to preside over Fisk, does that argue that they are the kind of timber that the Board of Trust wants to preside over a Congregational school owned by them? In looking over the field for a Negro Congregational minister in every sense qualified for that position, you will not be able to pick them cut HEADED BY Salem Tutt Whitney KING OF COMEDIANS WILL PLAY The DARKTOWN POLITICIAN Matinee and Night TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY Dec. 24th 25th AT THE Majestic Theatre A Great Christmas Treat for Nashville SEE WHAT AN AREA OF ARTISTS: Homer Tutt, Geo.

Now, understand, I do not say that there are none, for I do believe there are a few and very few. But the question is, not whether you or I think he is competent, but whether the Board thinks so. My contention is, that "the time has not come for the Board to think that way." Now, Mr. Editor, if you know a man that is available for the presidency of Fisk University, a man who is a member of the Negro race, name him. It cannot possibly do any harm. In naming your man, do not name whom you think is competent, but a man that is available. I hope above all things that I may not be understood as being lacking in my faith in the integrity, honesty and ability of the race, to the extent that I think that a Negro might not even now preside successfully over Fisk University.

THE QUESTION OF CHEAP MONEY FOR THE FARMER. By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture. I think a talk this week on the question of cheap money for the farmer would cause many to prick their ears and read carefully what is to be said on this subject. President Taft, a few weeks ago, made some suggestions looking to the formation of a line of credit to farmers at a low rate of interest by banks, modeled after the plan now in practice in some of the European countries. The farmer is certainly entitled to as low a rate of interest as any class of borrowers, and if the wide-awake, energetic, saving farmer could secure credit at a low rate of interest it would be of great assistance to him in adopting and keeping up a better system of farming. While that is true I have known a few farmers to go broke simply because of having too good a credit and finding it too easy to get into debt. I was talking to the president of one of the best banks in Nashville a few days ago and in discussing this question he said that the banks recognized the security of the farmer as being more substantial than the security offered by the merchant on his stock. In the first case the value of the security was appreciating all the time, while in the latter, in many cases, it was depreciating. He said that the banks would pre er, with the right kind of safeguard, loans to farmers, but one of the troubles that he had experienced, was as a rule, the farmers were lax about meeting their obligations. They feel that they are good for the amount and could suit their convenience in paying of their note, or in having it renewed; that the business man had learned that on the date the note fell due it should be paid or renewed promptly. Another thing that has been against the farmer is his one crop system that would only bring him in money once in the twelve months while the business man would have money coming in all the time and loans could be made to the business man for short periods while if a loan was made to a farmer it must be carried through out the year. One remedy for this is being worked out by the diversification of crops, giving the farmer some time to sell throughout the entire Collection Plates for Church or Sunday School year and in this respect putting him on a basis equal to that of the business man. I am very much in favor of the farmer getting every advantage possible. We must learn one thing, and it is one thing that we can not get away from; money is worth what it will bring and those who have it to dispose of are going to place it on the most profitable terms for themselves. No doubt our banking systems could be improved in some respects, but it is within the power of the farmers to do a great deal towards improving his credit and the rate of interest he will have to pay, by his promptness in attending to all obligations that he makes. As the farmer becomes more thoroughly recognized as the shrewd business man, in that proportion will the ojections be eliminated. We have farmers all over this state today who are in position to secure money at as low a rate of interest as business men in any other lines can secure it, and when the whole matter is sifted down, the only material difference that will be found is in the long time that the farmer's paper has to run because of his system of farming, and in some cases his inattention to meeting his obligations when they fall due. That, more than anything else, is placing him at a disadvantage as against the business man. The things most necessary with the farmer is to be more thorough in his work to have a greater regard for economizing time, meeting his obligations promptly and adopting strict business methods in his matters. As he be coeems such he will find the inconvenience he now encounters out of his way, and finds himself on the same plane with the business men in other lines. There should be more coeception among the farmers in unity of action. They should specialize more in planting their crops and in the live stock they raise. It matters not what vocation in life we follow, we are not going to find any regulation that will insure prosperity to us without true effort, energy and intelligence on our part. The man who imagines this possible will be doomed to disappointment, and the sooner he realizes it the sooner he will be on the road to prosperity. Y. M. C. A. BANQUET THANKS- GIVING EVENING. The banquet given last Thursday evening in the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, by the Wednesday and Thursday by Bible classes of the Y. M. C. A. was so satisfactory to the men present that they are anxious that another be given and that publicity be given it and that men be permitted to bring their wives, sweethearts, sisters or mothers as their guests. The advisability of such a reception has been turned over to the reception committee of the Bible classes, and what they decide will be made known later. Geo. H. Anderson is chairman of the committee. All members of the Bible classes played well their parts in making the Thanksgiving event a success, but Mr. Anderson, assisted by his wife, was the most responsible member of the groups for what was considered the most unique affair of its kind ever held in Nashville. Mrs. R. H. Boyd, Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Tate and Mrs. Fall rendered excellent service, personal and otherwise. The plates were thirty-five cents each. Dr. W. S. Ellington and church gladly gave the boys the use of the basement auditorium of the church. The reception now under consideration will probably be given New Year's night. ANNUAL BANQUET. The members of the original Greenwood Social Club held their annual banquet Thursday evening, November 28, 1912 at Brown's Hall, Cedar street. The hall was decorated with bands of white and green bunting, the club's NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912. colors and tiny bags. Extending the entire length of the half was a band of green, with the club's name in white stamped on it, making a pretty feature. Mr. R. H. Edmondson, the President was toastmaster of the evening. Dancing was the main feature the music being furnished by Mr.Earl Jones' Orchestra until a late hour when the following menu was served: Consumme: Stuffed Roast Turkey cranberry sauce; baked chicken, celery, olives; pickles; shrimp salad; crackers, sherry wine; sherbert; fruits nuts, cakes and candy. About forty couples participated. 'THE DARKTOWN POLITICIAN' AT THE MAJESTIC THEATER. Salem Tutt Whitney's famous theatrical comedy company, "The Smart Set," which opened the season here last year at the Majestic Theater with the "Mayor of New Town," will on the 24th and 25th of this month make its second appearance here presenting "The Darktown Politician," a thoroughly good and high-class musical comedy and very little of which is suggestive of barrels of fun and merriment. "The Darktown Politician" is meeting with unusual success throughout the country by both colored and white theaters, drawing large and appreciative audiences and leaving such lasting impressions with the thousands witnessing its performances as was left with those in Nashville last year who saw "The Mayor of New Town." The company this year is well equipped and such improvements and additions have been made to its personnel as to guarantee even better performances than the company has produced heretofore, and all are justified in looking forward to witnessing one of the best attractions ever coming to Nashville originated, owned and operated exclusively by Negro artists of the highest type. Original music and scenery will be provided, and a production up to the highest standard of theatrical efficiency may be expected. The pleasure-seekers and fun-lovers here all look forward to an attraction full ow wit and hu mor superior to any ever produced here. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Phillips, Jr., of St. Louis, Mo. spent Thanksgiving with their parents, Bishop and Mrs. Phillips. Dr. Phillips is a thriving young physician, and although he has been in St. Louis only about two years, he has created a large and lucrative practice. The doctor is widely known throughout the South, and especially in Missouri, where he recently stumped the state for Taft. Many delightful social courtesies were extended the doctor and wife and their pleasant associations with relatives and friends was the principal feature of their visit. The doctor was proud to find his mother rapidly improving. Dr. and Mrs. Phillips recently returned to St. Louis, Mo. NOT STIEF PORTER. The management of the Stief Jewelry Company wants the public to know that their porter, who has been in their employ for many years, has never as much as been suspected of theft. The reports that appeared in the daily papers stating that the porter of the company had stolen a diamond were erroneous. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. W. S. Ellington having returned from Augusta, Ga., where he went to preach the anniversary sermon of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, of which Rev. C. T. Walker, D. D., is pastor, will occupy his own pulpit Sunday. He will preach a special sermon Sunday morning to young men. Special invitation is also extended to young women.

SERMON TO YOUNG PEOPLE. SYLVAN STREET SUNDAY SCHOOL ORGANIZATION Not since the big Sunday-school parade which took place in Nashville early last Spring, when the Sunday-schools in the city joined in a big demonstration at Ryman Auditorium, have there been more Sunday-school forces from the various churches of the city together, than on last Thursday night at the Sylvan Street Baptist Church when a Metoka and Galeda class was organized. Almost the entire executive committee was present, as were visiting superintendents throughout the city. Rev Wm. Haynes, the pastor, and Mr. J. C. Haynes, the superintendent, extended a cordial welcome to the forces. Among those present were members of the Executive Committee of the national organization as follows: Miss L. L. U. Chambers, Miss N. E. King, Dr. N. H. Plus, Dr. J. D. Bushell, Rev H. A. Boyd, Rev J. T. Ridley, Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the Publishing Board, and Rev T. J. Lewis, President of the Sunday School Union. The classes were or organized by the campaign committee that has been doing some vigorous work among the churches of the city SPECIAL SERMON TO THE METOKAS. Every Baptist church in the city will, through its pastor, preach a special sermon to n'm on next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. This announcement was made at the minister's conference, two weeks ago, and as a result Rev. Dr. Pins and other members of the Executive Committee of the Metoka and Galeda organization have put out about five thousand tags, requesting the young ladies to tag every gentleman, who would agree to wear it to church Sunday morning. More inspiration was lent the occasion Monday morning, when it was asked that a record be kept of the men who attended church Sunday and that the same be reported to the Minister's Conference Monday morning. The tags read: "BOUND FOR THE SPECIAL SERMON AT — Baptist Church, Sunday at 11 o'clock. Come Go." The blank space was left so that the name of the church giving out the card could be inserted. One of the Metoka classes of the city gave out 87 of these tags Sunday morning before the 11 o'clock service. It was stated that perhaps all the colleges would be out in the city at the different churches to hear these special sermons. A SAFE PLACE FOR YOUR MONEY.

Mr. Edior: I desire to have this opportunity to state that circumstances aroused me during the past two weeks, including my enforced absence from my home since the 15th of November last, together with ill health since returning from my official visitations in West Tennessee in the interest of the Endowment work of which I have the honor of being the secretary, have prevented me from responding as I desired to so many beautiful letters of congratulations and other tokens of friendly regard and respect, together with many published expressions of a like character from your own paper as well as others and different portions of the state all of which had its fullest expression in the elegant banquet tendered my by the old pupils and friends of the school taught in this city between the years 1876 and 1861, in commemoration of the writer's sixtieth birthday and fortieth year of continuous labor in the school room f this city. Let me say also to all concerned, especially to those who feigned so largely on that delightful occasion; who have been so active and zealous in the general work of ameliorating the race through the mission of the public school; whose attachmen for and interest in the moral and social uplift of our people have ever been their predominant trait and whose energies have never flagged, that I appreciate more than I can express the splendid demonstration that I witnessed on the night or November 13th. I was impressed as I have never been before and I can never forget that truly great event in my life which I hope to treasure through life and leave as a precious legacy to my children and others as well that in the course of things must sooner or later succeed me in the busy walks of life. The personnel of that banquet, Mr. Editor, was excellence personified. It was of a character as to defy adverse criticism and such as to command the respect and recognition of all classes or any people. There were present guests from your city as well as from other places in the state, all present o do honor to the occasion. The remarks from Pressiden J. W. Johnsin, of Roger Williams University; Dr. C. V. Roman, W. L. Miller and Attorney J. P. Rhines, of your city, the honorable Secretary or the Board of Education of Columbia, and others were exceptional, beautiful and inspiring to all who heard them. Absent ones were represented in proper form and all bore the same testimony which may be expressed in the words, "We Live to Serve." I was most truly, sr. made to feel that somehow or in some way God had helped me in trying to help some boy or girl up the way of life, and thereby had enabled me to contribute something to the cause of humanity. --- STATE NOMAL FOOT BALL TEAM MAKES A ..GREAT ..RECORD COACH H. N. ROBINSON DE- SERVES ESPECIAL CREDIT In one of the most stirring foot ball games ever played in Florence, Ala., the Burrell Academy team met defeat Thanksgiving day at the hands of the strong State Normal eleven by a score of 25 to 0. It was a fitting climax to a very successful season of the Tennessee boys' against the undefeated Burrell team, the best of its class in the South. The Burrell team had defeated the strongest A. and M. team from Normal, Ala., which had a forty night ago held the strong Fisk eleven to a scoreless tie for three quarters, were completely outclassed and out played but not disgraced. Perfect weather conditions prevailed and the game was staged amid a blaze of crimson and gold, colors of the home team. Captain Howell, of the State Normal, won the goal, and chose to defend the South goal, and Davis kicked off to Burrell's ten yard line. In the first play Burrell attempted a forward pass which was interpreted by Howell on their own forty yard yard line. In two plays the Normal boys had scored their first touchdown on two brilliant runs by Boyd, one for thirty and the other for ten yards. The goal was not kicked. Burrel kicked off and in five minutes Normal had scored their second touchdown after a series of forward passes, each netting a gain of from twenty to forty yards. The goal was kicked. The score was thirteen to nothing. State Normal again received the kick-off, and in five minutes had registered their third touchdown after a quarter back run by Scruggs, a twenty yard sprint by Boyd around right and a forward pass over the goal line which Davis, Normal's fast right end, received. Score 19 to 0. In the second and third quarters the Normal boys were content with keeping their goal from danger, punts were exchanged frequently, Stockard outunted his rival in evity trial. The fourth quarter found the two teams playing as in the two previous quarters. Now that the Burrell boys lost their only opportunity to score, being held down on Normal's five yard line. After this the latter, by passes and by Runy, Davis and Vaughn, received their fourth and final touchdown. Vaughn getting credit after a desperate dash through center for twenty yards. The team work of the Normal boys was highly recommended. The passing of Toliver at center, the playing of Anderson, Rogers, Davis, Jones and Howell all deserve special mention. Boyd starred throughout the game. The State Normal team was given a reception after the game and all report a fine time. On their return they were met at the Union station by the entire student body and driven about the city in automobiles. This is the first foot ball team to represent the new school, and Coach H. N. Robinson is deserving of special credit for having turned out a team from raw material that was canable of making for itself such a fine record and bringing such envied laurels to the A. and I. State Normal School of Nashville. Both the man and the team which he developed are remarkable. In the four games played the Normal boys have triumphed in three. Their goal line has been crossed only once. That was by Roger Williams University in the first game of the season. The record follows: State Normal 3. Roger Williams 6. State Normal 13. Columbia 0.

Scarcely a half dozen present could remember or recall the time of the coming to Columbia of the individual who was object of the gathering. President Johnson expressed it tersely: "It was by accident;" and so it was. Forty years, sir, have passed since that day, but they are years of his- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912. We Furnish the Home Complete from Top to Bottom Try Our Easy Payment Plan FURNITURE CO. WAY AND THIRD AVENUE BROADWAY AND THIRD AVENUE tory and may we not truly state, years of growth, of development, for do they not represent the age of a new race, its transition period, even from servitude to the light of freedom with all that it implies? We witnessed then the babe at its mother's breast; we have watched its growth and its unfolding into manhood or womanhood; we have seen the progress of the child, its powers developed, its mind expanded and soul awakened into life and hope, and we are happy in the thought that on the occasion we speak of some were there who bore testimony of the fact that what they were or hoped to be was due to their fortunate connection and association with the boys and girls and the teacher at the old "Orphan School" in Columbia, Tenn. Let me conclude by saying: "God bless our schools, our homes and our teachers; for be ye assured that as truly as the day follows the night or sunshine the shadow, they are to be more and more as the years gy by the means of elevation of hope and indication of a race that has long known sorrow. May these means of motion of hope and elevation never become impaired or their usefulness lessened, but in the years that are to come may they continue as they ought to be the very avenues that shall lead our race up to the plains of God to heaven and to the fullest realization of that happy period when the race will hall with gladness the Bible declaration that "Princes shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto God." Churches in the suburbs of the city of Nashville are receiving more consideration since the organizing of the Sunday-School Union than ever before. This was very apparent last Sunday afternoon when the Union held its meeting at the Sixth Street Baptist Church, of which Rev. T. J. Tunstal is pastor, and Rev. H. R. Patterson is superintendent. A big reception was given the visitors which was successful in every respect. "The Sunday-School Teacher on the Streets" was the subject of the discussion led by Superintendent Patterson, followed by a number of superintendents. Two papers were read, one by Mrs. Towsen, from Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday-School, and another by Miss Slaughter, of the North Third Avenue Baptist Sunday-School. The next meeting will be held with the Fifth Avenue Baptist Sunday-School the 2nd Sunday in January. The executive committee and program meeting was called to meet the 4th Sunday in December at 3:30 at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Superintendent Lewis announced that this was the closing of the 1912 work. The Izorots (meaning "hill people") are of an ancient Malay stock, the most ancient in the Philippines, as may be inferred from the fact that they do not even have any traditions of ever having lived in any other place than in that which they now occupy. Despite the four centuries of Spanish domination the priests have not been able to convert these half-million savages either to Christianity or to civilization. They have no system of writing and their reasoning is pragmatic rather than logical; that is to say, they judge actions by results. Their fathers and forefathers irrigated the mountain sides, built wonderful rice terraces, cultivated rice and camotes (sweet potatoes); drank tanok rice, cider, ate ```markdown ``` MEETING OF SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION THE IGOROTS OF THE PHILIP- PINES Bed Room Suits Odd Dressers Chiffoniers Dining Room Suits Iron Beds Brass Beds Parlor Suits Davenports Christmas Rockers Children's Rockers Art Squares Rugs roasted pig, and gave thanks to Lumawig (Great Spirit) when the harvest was done. It is all so simple, so clear to the leorot. Under the old Spanish regime, the Igorots indulged in the gentle art of hunting each other's heads. To the Spaniards who traveled through the mountains armed to the teeth and as seldom as possible, these people were more or less enshrouded in mystery and were probably referred to as wicked heathen or bogie men. But Uncle Sam stepped in, and, owing largely to the wise efforts of Dr. Dean C. Worcester (now Secretary of the interior of the Philippine Insular Government) and of Governor Pack, together with their deputies, has discouraged this disconcerting practice so that it goes on only in very remote places and very quietly. Excellent mountain trails have been made into the unexplored interior and a single standard of justice to all tribes has been established. As far as possible the Igorots are allowed to retain their own customs, which have the force of law.-Southern Workman. THE NEXT PRESIDENT. When an election is once over and the results are ascertained, the American people have a happy fashion of laying aside all feeling of acrimony and of reconciling themselves cheerfully to the will of the majority. During the campaign, Governor Wilson's political opponents naturally did their best to find debating ground against his views as expressed from time to time. But he kept admirable poise and temper, talked generalities in a charming, yet statesmanlike manner, and found himself on good terms with everybody at the end of the campaign. Men who have shown themselves fitted to serve in the presidency of an American university must possess executive talent of a high order and experience of a very wide range. The business of being a university president requires great power of decision and develops marked personality. If Governor Wilson could have served in Congress for a term, he would perhaps have been by just so much the better fitted for headship of the national government. But it is the general belief that we are fortunate in having a man of his great attainments and high character to be our next President, and his well-wishers are millions strong.—From "The Progress of the World," in the American Review of Reviews for December. WHY THE TURK LOST. The collapse of the military power of the Turk has amazed European experts. None has been more surprised than the Turk himself. The war office at Constantinople fully appreciates the splendid organization and efficiency of the Bulgarian military establishment. In fact, the Bulgarian frontier was the only one properly guarded, the Turkish commanders evidently regarding Servia, Greece and Montenegro as negligible. The Turkish explanation of the defeat to the Ottoman arms is given to Review readers in the following words of a patriotic Turk, now in New York. He says: It would seem that the resistance offered by the Turkish army of the West was all the Turkish General Staff expected, believing, as they did, that they would be able to strike hard at the Bulgarian at the start and afterward reinforce the Western armies. Turkey was absolutely unprepared; the Bulgarians were ready to a dot. The various active campaigning of the Turkish army in the different revolutions and uprisings, in Macedonia, Albania, Hauran and Yemen. bad weakened its moral and material force, instead of benefiting it as might have been expected. The great army which Mahmoud Shefket Pasha had reorganized was either scattered from Yemen to Caucasia and Montenegro, or permitted to return home on furough. The active interference of the officers and ultimately of the privates, in party politics, created so many personal animosities and resulted in so much lack of discipline that many prominent officers resigned or were asked to resign, and others were murdered. The most immediate cause of all was perhaps the Tripolian war, which the Young Turks obviously refused to terminate, and the recent Albanian uprising—undoubtedly instigated by Italy—with the result of the downfall of the Young Turks, and concessions to, the Albanians, thus cutting the country and army in two, and on the verge of bloody civil war. As other result was the withdrawal, as per agreement, of the largest part of the army from Albania and Europe and the impossibility of transporting soldiers from Asia back to Europe in time on account of the Italian war. Thus the army found the Turkish army c tered, reduced, difficult to mobilize, divided in itself, the Turkish soldier, although the same good fighter, as all accounts agree, still disgusted with the entire situation, and tired of being continually called to the colors, the commissariat department and all transport departments, disorganized by political rivalries and changes. To this was opposed a well-prepared and organized army, united and ready for any sacrifice, mobilized in a short time, because of small territory, and hurling itself with all its power quick and powerful on the enemy, before giving him time to half mobilize. Under such circumstances it is easy to understand the result of the conflict so far—From "The Progress of the World" in the American Review of Reviews for December. STEVENSON (ALA.) NOTES Sad news reached this place last Wednesday, December 4th. Mr Walter Daniel got killed at the cement plant, Richard City, Tenn., and was brought down Thursday, and on Friday he was laid away in the Cargyle Cemetery, Mr. Will Daniel, of Nashville Tenn., came to look on his brother Walter the last time. Many of the citizens of Stevenson paid their last respects to Mr. Walter by following to the cemetery. He leaves a dear old father, three sisters, three brothers, a loving wife, six children and a host of friends to mourn his demise. One thing we can rejoice about. Mr. Walter Daniel made peace with God in early life, became a consistent Christian and member of the M. E. Church and remained so until death. We are satisfied that it is our loss but heaven's gain. Sleep on, Brother Walter, and take your rest; we all loved you, but the Lord loves you best. I can safely say that the Globe sympathizes with the bereaved family as well as other friends.

Morton has his eyes on you.

The groom stands high in his profession in the state of Alabama. Dr. Howard is a member of the noted Howard family of this state, it being a family of physicians, lawyers, educators and business men of no small ability. While the packed house of invited guests was brought to a quiet by the rendition of a tenor solo, from Hawley's "Because I Love You, Dear," the bridal couple with members of the immediate family stood without in the church vestibule. Then, as Mrs. T. S Crawford began the playing of Mendelssohn's wedding march, the bride on the arm of her father, Mr. W. W. Cox, entered from the west door and marched down the south alse; while the groom, accompanied by his brother, Hon. P. W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss, entered the southeast door, crossing the vestibule of the chair balcony, down the steps and turned fronting the altar, before which was erected a beautiful arch, decorated with white and green. In the center of this arch hung a large bell decorated with white chrysanthemums and green flowers. Here the bride, carrying a large bunch of white bride's NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912. Neckwear, Socks, Handkerchiefs, Cuff Buttons, Stick Pins in Beautiful Xmas Boxes. roses, white carnations and maidenhair fern, and she herself the picture of exquisite beauty, joined the groom. While the ceremony was being performed by the pastor, Rev. C. P. Lawyer, the organist played softly Lohen grin's wedding march. After the ceremony, and the newly married couple had received the congratulations of their many friends, the bride on the arm of her husband, marched out of the church through the north aisle, to their carriage without, being followed from thence to the Masonic-Pythian Hall by all the guests. There, in that beautifully decorated building, a sumptuous repeat of five courses was served to a packed house of representative people. The decorations were white and green; the souvenirs were Cinderella gilt slippers mounted on white and green mint hearts. The tables in the spacious hall were formed in the shape of the letter "H." At the center of the letter sat the groom and his beautiful bride; about them sat the immediate members of the groon's family, as follows: Prof. A. J. Howard, of Campbell College, Jackson, Miss.; Dr. W. F. Howard, of Vicksburg, Miss.; Dr. E. E. Howard, of Meridian, Miss., and Dr. S. D. Redmond, of Jackson, Miss.

After spending some time with relatives in the West and East, Dr. and Mrs. Howard will take up their residence at Bessemer, Ala., where Dr. Howard has a large practice. For the marriage the bride was gowned in a real lace princess over white satin charmeuse, draped with dewdrop chiffon, and mother of pearls.
