Conceived in a spirit of general helpfulness, born out of the necessity murured by a spirit of unselfishness stimulated by a spirit of confidence in its possibilities, encouraged by the spirit of consolation that comes from being a factor in the development of a race, The People's Saving Bank and Trust Co., threw open its doors to the public August 31, 1909.
Looking back three and one-half years of our existence, we are impressed by the evidences we find of devoted service, of unremitting labor, of surmounted obstacles, of ceaseless vigilance and by the final record of splendid achievement. There are those here now who witnessed the birth of this institution, who rocked the cradle of this child in its infancy, saw it creep from its cradle, whose master hands grasped it and made steady its tootling steps in its endeavor to walk; and now, they see it standing upon its feet and rejoice as they behold its efforts as it goes forth, vigorous and strong, scattering blessings broadcast, demonstrating our possibilities if only we stick together. The growth and progress of this institution has by no means been without interruption. For, indeed, once for each year of its existence, its bark, by undesirable winds, was driven upon rocks and against icebergs which threatened seriously its existence. The first was the result of the lack of confidence somewhere. The second was the result of claims brought against the institution for remuneration of services rendered. The contest as to the legality or moral right of these claims waged hot for one year and culminated in all but the precipitation of a lawsuit, which meant for us the closing of our doors. At this critical moment, however, by exerice of the proper judgment, thought care and wisdom of your officials this calamity was averted, a satis parties concerned, the matter was factory agreement reached by all settled and the sea again became calm.
Scarcely had Aeolus driven his windy steeds back to their retreat, and Jupiter with his hoary head above the turbulent waves, had ordered them "Be still" and the sea be calm;

scarcely had we begun to bask in the hopeful sunshine as it came from behind the dark clouds, while our bark glided over the tranquil sea, when our peace and prosperity were again disturbed, early on the morning of July 20, 1912, by the startled news, "Boyd is dead." He who was our President; He who had so much confidence in this institution; he who was its Greatest "booster." He who on all occasions and at all times held up its merits and its worth, not only to this community in general, but especially to the Negroes of this community; he who had spent all the years of his life in building up a reputation for honesty and worthy citizenship here and was now focalizing it all in the upbuild and the making strong of this institution. Notwithstanding his eccentricities and individualities, peculiarly his own, we had learned to admire him for his sagacity, for his moderation, for his prudence, for his firmness, for his over ruling judgment, for his power of self-control, for his courage that never faltered, for his patience that never weared, for his honesty that disdained all artifice, for his magnamity without alloy, and for his (Continued on page 11.)

Washington, Dec. Jan. 8—Register of the Treasury and Mrs. J. C. Napier opened the social season of the New Year last Friday evening by giving a brilliant reception in honor of Mrs. A. D. Langston, of St. Louis, Mo. Mrs James A. Napier and Mrs. Carroll N. Langston, of Nashville, Tenn., who were their house guests during the Yuleide period. The function took place at the historic "Hillside Cottage," near Howard University, for some years the home of the famous Congressman, John M. Langston. In this picturesque mansion his widow now resides, and with her for the past three years have lived Register and Mrs. Napier, the latter being her daughter.
The reception was attended by the flower of Washington's social and intellectual life, and at no similar entertainment within memory has there been brought together a more representative assembly, and no group of visitors have been more cordially wel

While all the appointments, in the elegance of the ladies' toilette and the courtiness of the gentlemen, suggested the stately functions of the White House the genial, whole-souled hospitality characteristic of the Napiers and the Langstons so thoroughly permeated the atmosphere that conventional formality seemed to disappear as it by magic, and everybody enjoyed themselves in the heartiest fashion. The spacious parlors, strived by the center reception hall in true southern style, were beautifully decorated for the occasion, and these, supplemented by the scintillating costumes and brilliant lights, formed a delightful picture long to be remembered. Mrs. Napier was an ideal hostess.

The guests were graciously presented by Register Napier. In the receiving line Mrs. A. D. Napier wore black peau de soie, trimmed with shadow lace, diamonds; Mrs. James A.

Achievements of the Grand Lodge K. of P. in Tenn.
By DR. A. M. TOWNSEND,
My already unalterable faith and confidence in Pythianism is augmented and strengthened when I begin to realize that it is a great organization which brings good men of all walks of life into a common brotherhood, where we may class our hands in friendship and hall each other as brothers and renew our covenant to "never leave a friend." Then too in our everyday individual life we become so engrossed in cares, so full of strife of what we can get in life, so full of ambition to win, so indifferent and careless to the wants of men, so neglected and forgetful of the helpless, that I sometimes think that the greatest blessing that has come to this world and humanity is the combination of men for the sole purpose of doing good to others. All that is trustful and best within us leads us to appreciate that most excellent and enduring quality of fraternism that is far-reaching and deathless, touching as it does the mainsprings of our nature, transforming and refining our life and building up in symmetrical character those elements of moral supremacy, intellectual activity and social affinities
The cowards we give from the L to be permitted to the victory won in the valley.

that enhance and make forever valuable the work we are doing. The smith may fashion the iron to his will and the potter mold the clay to his liking, so Python knighthood with delicate touch and chivalric effort impresses the impressionable being with the highest and purest ideals of moral worth and noble manhood. Should we wonder then that Pythonism yet lives?
Recounting the sudden shocks and reverses that have come to us, my heart is made to rejoice when I see that the face of Pythianism is yet to the morning and know for myself that its intrepid legions did not turn back when the drum beat was heard. Under a matchless leader, whose courage is even the admiration of many of his enemies, there was no faltering, though the way was rough, through brier and bramble, o'er rugged hilltops and through dark and gloomy glen. Though deserters and camp-followers assailed from the rear and our enemy stood in solid phalanx in front, minding not wounded feet nor torn flesh, neither the piercing of bullets nor the scorch of the powder from the cannon's mouth, the Old Guard still went forward and to a glorious victory. The battle has been fought.
The cowards who watched the struggle from the hiltops will not now be permitted to garner the fruits of the victory won by the brave legions in the valley.
Defensive tactics need no longer be the rule, but henceforth it will be "forward, march," with the heavy battalion in the van and every impediment that stands in the way will be destroyed. Recruits that have been influenced by tainted dollars or false ambitions or strategic motives will be of no service. Conscripts are not wanted, but only men who are true to the colors of Pythianism will be permitted to march behind them.
Then fall in, boys. The flags are flying, the drum beat rolls, the bands are playing. The commander orders the advance. Let each one do his duty in whatever sphere of this great work he is placed. Upon the shoulders of Pythianism has indeed fallen the mantle of a mission: To check the bleeding of lacerated hearts, this is our work; to alleviate the sufferings of a brother and to bury the dead, this is our calling; to provide shelter for the fatherless and to comfort the widow, this is our vow; to be a soothing balm to all who feel the pangs of misfortune, this is our duty. Tis a duty we owe our fellowman. "Tis a duty we owe the widows and orphans of our brother, and it is this duty that will pursue us ever.
Having therefore a properly formed concept of our duty, with countenances bespeaking that of brave knights on the eve of conflict, and securely clad and equipped with our helmet of generosity, our steel armor of loyalty, our shield of truth, our dagger of gallantry, our sword of valor, our battle axe of fidelity to a brother in arms, and our spurs of thirst for victory, we can herald to the world that
"We are coming, yes we are coming,
A mighty band of noble men;
A stream of mighty power is running,
Which the present cannot ken.
"We are coming, yes, we are coming,
Men in virtue's noble form—
Men of moral worth; low cunning
And deceit they proudly scorn.
"We are coming, yes, we are coming,
Men of thought and men of soul;
With zeal their noble bosoms burning
To make their fallen brother whole.
"We are coming, yes, we are coming,
Mighty minds yet in the rear;
After justice they are longing,
And a time shall hear.
"We are coming, yes, we are coming,
Men who will the world reform;
Men whose bowels now are yearning
Oter the helpless and forlorn.
"We are coming, yes, we are coming,
The brave, the kind, the great, the
good;
Progressive Pythianism is onward
running,
With force that cannot be with-

Then,
"Fear not, ye who now press on,
For the victory shall be won;
Pause not, but increase your speed

There are wrongs well worth the righting;
There are sorrowing hearts to bless,
There's oppression to redress.

Death Angel Came—Funeral Monday—Eloquent Eulogy by, Bishop Lane—Services Very Impressive—Deceased Much Beloved — Wife of Bishop Phillips.
Lucy Tappan Phillips was born in Helena, Arkansas, June 8, 1859. At the beginning of the Civil War, in 1861, she came to Nashville with her parents, and she lived here continuously until her marriage to Bishop C. H. Phillips.
For a short while she was a pupil of Belle View School, while Dr. G. W. Hubbard was principal, but she soon became a student at Fisk University graduating from the Normal Department in May, 1880.
On December 16th of the same year she married Rev. Charles Henry Phillips, who was then a young minister of the C. M. E. Church, whose home was in Milledgeville, Ga. After their marriage they went to Milledgeville, where they remained about five months. In the spring of 1881, while a revival was being conducted by the pastor, Rev. A J. Stinson, she was soundly converted to the Christian religion as the result of a sermon preached one night during the meeting by her husband from the text, "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" Rev. 6:17.
Since she united with the church, Mrs. Phillips' life has been a busy one. She taught in Milledgeville, Ga. Tulahahoma, Tenn., Lane Institute, Jackson, Tenn., and Union City, Tenn. When not serving as a teacher, she united her efforts with those of her husband and helped to make his work in the church a success.
While at Union City she was led to

join the W. C. T. U. work, became an active worker in the cause, and no costly jewel was ever worn with greater appreciation than she gave the little knot of white ribbon, the emblem of the temperance workers. She organized the work in the state and was elected the first President of the Tennessee State W. C. T. U. in the convention held at Memphis, and held that position until the family made Washington City their home.
At the latter named place she became the Assistant District Organizer, a position never held before by a colored woman. In 1889 she was a delegate to the National W. C. T. U., which was held in Chicago. In short, everywhere that Mrs. Phillips lived, she held the temperance banner high.

CIVIC CENTER FOR NEGROES
GREAT QUESTION BEING AGITATED IN NASHVLLE NOW.
Leading Men Have Different Opinions
—The Scheme Is Being Discussed on Every Side—Prof. McCullouch Makes Statement—Goes Fully Into Details as to the Plan—States His Views.
Much has been said about a Civic Center for Negroes of Nashville; but until recently no tangible steps have been taken to this end. For the last few days, however, the Negroes of Nashville have been deeply interested in this proposition. It was not generally known among the people just the scope of this undertaking until a statement was made by Prof. J. E. McCullouch, who was one of the prime movers in this matter. Also he arrival in the city of a specialist from the East to organize a campaign for the purpose stated above was another thing that aroused the thinking people on this question.
The leading men are not agreeing on the matter. Prof. McCullouch in his statement makes it clear and emphatic that the plan does not even approach an attempt of segregation. He argues that the Negroes of Nashville, need for themselves just what the white people have in the West End; that is, a central location they can lok upon as a Civic Center where all of the independent educational institutions shall be located in connection with the city high school and other institutions.
There seems to be a general opinion that the grouping of colleges and universities might be beneficial, but the locating of the city institutions, such as the high school, Carnegie Library and Y. M. C. A., in one corner of the city does not meet the hearty approval of the people. It has not been possible to convince them that the forty per cent. of Negroes who live in East, South and Southwest Nashville should be inconvenienced to accommodate the sixty per cent. supposed to live in the imaginary zone drawn by Prof. McCullouch. They do not take much stock in the claim of Prof. McCullouch that the establishment of this Civic Center would give to the Negroes of Nashville more self-government.
There is some apprehension as to the practicability of such a plan and its possibility seems to be even more remote.
The matter is being discussed on

every hand, and it is not known fully as yet just what stand the leading Negroes will take in this matter. The opinion seems to be generat, however, that the citizens of Nashville can well afford to contribute a hundred thousand dollars to the colleges and universities located in, in view of the fact that nothing has ever been done along this line that Nashville has not been the beneficiary of the hundreds on thousands of dollars spent annually by these institutions since their establishment in this city.
It is believed by many that the generosity of Nashville will compel her to give liberally to these institutions. But as to the grouping of the city public buildings and the other institutions that should be for all the people of every section of the city, is a question upon which they are not fully agreed.
Dr. McCulloch outlines the plan in part as follows:
"It is true our movement contemplates locating several institutions in Northwest Nashville, which will be in the neighborhood of Fisk University, but the movement was not originated with Fisk, has not been promoted by Fisk, and these institutions, so far as we are concerned, will have no connection with Fisk.
"The plan which has been developed gradually during the last twelve or fifteen months is to establish a civic center for Negroes. At present the Negro population of Nashville is so scattered and the Negro institutions are so detached from one another that it is impossible for the

PIKEVILLE NOTES,
This will inform the readers of the
Globe that the reporter has been off
for two weeks on a Christmas trip
through East Tennessee and had
quite a merry Christmas and a
happy new year. On our trip we
had a few hours in the clty of Chat-
tanooga on the 23rd of December,
and passed on to Knoxville, where
We spent the night and the ‘24th or
Christmas eve and had quite a nice
time at the Corinthian Baptist
Church at a Christmas tree where
a formal program was rendered by
the Sundayschooi and many good se
lections were recited in keeping with
‘the birth of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. Our heart was made
glad to overflowing. ‘We passed
from thence to Lafayette, our old
home, where many good thing:
awaited us, both spiritually and
temporarily; we ate and drank till
we wanted no more till we could
run about and settle what we had
eaten, From Lafayette to Newport,
‘Tenn, the home of Governor Ben W.
Hooper. Many good things we
could say about this historic town,
but space and time forbid us just
now; however we met an aunt whom
we had not seen for more than 40
years, Our heart and soul rejoiced.
‘To say that the Negro 1s succeeding
in and around New Port is putting
it mildly. We learned that quite a
number of ministers, both Methodist
and Baptist, are running glorious re-
vivals in which they are saving souls
for Christ’s kingdom and raising
money to build churches and par-
sonages and extend the Redeemer’s
‘icingdom in a general way. Too
mueh cannot be said of these Chris-
tian ministers. We passed from
thence to Knoxville again and spent
‘a few days visiting relatives and
friends in and around the city till
‘New Years, when we took our de-
‘parture for Pikeville, But made a
few short stops in the interest of
our educational work. We stopped at

‘cation, and another managed and con-
‘trolled by the A. M. E. Zion Church.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1913.
Dik Oolker,
‘The plan to establish a Civic Cen-
ter in Nashville for Negroes is taking
tangible form. ‘This matter has been
discussed among some of the leading
educators and business men in the
city for several months.
Prof. J. E. MeCullouch, in a full
statement that appears on another
page, gives his views on the matter.
It is a question that is far-reaching
‘and one that should not be decided
hastily. Nashville is a great city,
‘The citizens here are a liberal-hearted,
courageous people, The geographical
situation of Nashville has always made
it a place of attraction. Especially
fs this true from an educational
standpoint, and, we might say, from
a manufacturing standpoint. This is
so much so that this place would be
the ideal location of educational in
stitutions for Negroes, that would
constitute a great center in ys South
‘The temperament of the pedple her
is such that such a scheme, if prac
ticable, could be worked out to muck
advantage.
Prof. McCullouch’s article should be
read carefully, and again and again
‘There is much need for thought an
sober consideration; more than wi
can attempt to discuss now—more
probably, than it is expedient to dis
cuss at this time, But it is a matte
that should engage the thought of ou
men and women who have ability t
handle the great questions of thi
age.
“State Law-Makers.
Monday the General Assembly of)
this state convened in this city, and
the Fusion forces are in the saddle.
‘The people, however, are not con-
serned so much about what fac:
tion controls as they are about what
Jaws will be made and what laws will
be unmade, It is hoped since the
‘organization has been perfected the
Assembly will get down to work and
‘will remember that ‘Tennessee
4s the home of all her citizens and
that the interest of one is the in-
terest of the other.
At a recent meeting of the Jeffer-
sonian Debating Club, the subject
“Resolved, That under certain cir
cumstances lynching is justifiable,"
was decided in favor of the affirma:
tive. The wind shows the drift of
straws without a doubt.
Community Interest.
Nashville is a growing city and has
‘become the one point in the South
‘on which the eyes of the nation are
centered, Much is being expected
of the cltizens of this city. It would
be well if every one, from the hum-
lest to the highest, could realize
that they are a part of this body and
that they have a duty to perform
to make it what it ought to be. There
are some communities in this city
fn which the colored citizens predomi
nate; where they own most of the
Iand; we wish to speak specifically
of these.
Every one owes it to himself to b
imterested in his community. Hi
should be concerned about every
thing that affects his community
‘There is being organized in this cit
community societies. All the pec
ple should join this movement. Be
cause it affords an opportunity fo
exchange of opinfon and for the cult
vation of friendly relations betwee
neighbors. In these communit
meetings an opportunity presents 1
selt for a concerted action in ever}
thing that pertains to the gener
good. These meetings will develo
courageous citizens and will enabl
‘the people to ferret out everythin
objectionable to the community ar
move it out. ‘This cannot be su
cessfully done unless there is a mut-
ual understanding; a getting together
and in a sane way, arrive at conclu
sions as to the best method to do
‘this or that, and always keeping In
mind that the interest of the whole
. greater than that of an individual
Race Feelina.
‘The Pittsburg Dispatch quotes &
Negro preacher in Chicago as mak-
ing complaint of “the enmity to the
Negro rece caused by me conduct of
Jack Johnson.” ‘The preacher Is
quoted as specifying “an instance
where thirty-five colored employes,
whose services had been satisfactory,
were discharged because thelr em-
ployers felt outraged by Johnson's
pranks,”
"The Dispatch remarks by way of
‘comment, “Of course, this is rank
‘and stupiq injustice with the sole mit-
igation of not being so atrocious as
lynch law." Lynebing, or mob vio-
Jence—the term mob law is a paradox:
ica] misnomer—is an evil without de-
fense, and excused by nobody except
some benighted people of the Cole
Blease type One of the worst lynch:
ings on record took place in Pennsy!
vania of late years, but the sin is one
|that weighs heaviest on the South.
Yet, while it is a fact that Negro
offenders are too often summarily
dealt with in the South, this section
is free from the folly and injustice
pointed out by the Chicago colored
preacher. No innocent Negroes were
lever discharged from employment in
| the South because of the misdoings ot
Jone of their race with whom they
|haq no connection.
| On nearly every occasion in the
| North where there has been a Negrc
lynching the vengeance of the mot
|was manifested toward all the Ne
groes in the community, ‘That sor
feeling has been rare in the South
‘The Southern whites permit no “Ne
gro equality,” and in their relations to
the blacks they control. The crime
of a black man against a white mar
or woman is all too apt to provok
vio'ence on the part ot the whites, bu
it seldom is accompanied by any man
ifestation of general race hatred. 01
the old terms that have always ex
jsted between the races in the South
the whites and blacks continue friend
ly and interdependent.
The above from the Nashville Bar
ner is true only in part. Some
times the Negroes of a communit,
are not molested when one commit
Ja crime, but too often it is just th
reverse. ‘The South is all right, bu
| she has mud on her skirts and plent
Jot it.
| When has a Negro been admitted
to the bar in Tennessee, and at the
present ratio at which they pass the
examination how many will be prac-
ticing law in this state fifty years
hence? One answer a week will be
sufficient.

Mr, maltor.
Long may you live to fight the mae
tles of the oppressed; to serve the
race in all that is elevating, noble
and honorable; may you cease not
to lift up your voice in the defence
of the right, in opposition to the
wrong; continue your labors in the
noble work of the vindication of a
much afflicted race in all that is holy
and uplifting In life and never fail
to point it to God, the unerring
source of all human happiness, Most
truly is He the Rock of our salva
tion, for “God has promised great
things of Israel whereof we are
glad.” Your evident effort to make
the Globe one of the best papers in
the country for the dissemination of
light and intelligence among the
‘masses; your truly laudable desire
to have “all men up, and no man
[down” is as commendable as it. is
iself-sacrificing. Continue in this

you, in the present issue of the Globe,

Secret societies have been a bless-
ing as well as a bane to our people.
The good, however, has greatly out-
weighed the ill. Lessons In co-ope-
ration have undoubtedly been the
most valuable of the “secrets.”
There is just now a great oppor-
tunity for our secret orders to be-
come a positive blessing to our peo-
ple. The enormous death rate is ap-
palling. It Is in the power of our
secret societies to help this con-
dition, How? by utilizing our lodge
meetings as schools of instruction.
‘An hour given once or twice a month
to the study of hygiene and sanita-
tion would be quite as interesting as
matters now discussed, and a deal
more profitable. Why not let the
“good of the order” become a real
item on the program of our meet-
ings?” How can we preserve the
health and prolong the lives of our
members?” ought to be as interest-
ing and as important as “who will
represent us in the next, Grand
Lodge?” When we visit the sick
let us find if possible how we should
liye to avoid like troubles ourselves.
The records of our lodges should
show for what diseases suck dues
have been paid; and how to avoid
‘these diseases should be discussed
for the “good of the order.” Our
Endowment Department should inves
tigate closely the causes of death,
and separate sharply the necessary
from the avoidable deaths. The in
dividual lodges should be furnished
regularly with these facts quarterly
or semiannually. There should be
a copy placed in the hands of ever;
member, and how to lessen the num
ber of necessary deaths, and to en
tirely eliminate avoidable deaths
should become live topics in oui
meetings. It would pay the Endow

and has recently been elected a representative to the grand session, 1913. J. H. Kelly, another faithful worker, is a great factor in the uplift of his lodge. Aside from being Vice-Chancellor for three years, he has held the station of K. of R. & S. successfully until the present time. He not only has taken an active part in Purity Lodge, but has been an officer for a number of years in the Uniform Rank. Benjamin Shelby, who is now serving as C. C. has made an excellent officer. He is dearly loved by all the members of the order. W. M. Allen, a charter member of the lodge, for several years was K. of R. & S. He also has served as C. C. A more earnest worker has never been connected with the lodge. There are others of whom much could be said, but space will not permit; but on a whole, Purity Lodge No. 42 is in excellent condition, both numerically and financially. For three years, 1907, 1908, 1909, it had the honor of initiating more members than any other lodge in the state. The following are the newly-elected officers for the year of 1913: J. H. Kelly, C. C.; G. W. Perry, V. C.; Ed. Green, Prelate; W. M. Allen, K. of R. & S.; R. C. Patton, M. of F.; Clint White, M. of Ex.; Ben Shelby, M. of W.; Jn. Randolph, M. at A.; Wm. Johns, I. G.; Chesa.

STONEWALL LODGE NO.103.
By Wm. Smithson.
A few facts gleaned from the organization of Stonewall Lodge No. 103, K. of P. This lodge was organized April 15, 1907 by the D. G. C., Sir A. W. Fite with the following officers: C. O. Hadley, M. W.; A. W. Porter, A. Starks, Prelate; Lorenzo House, C. C.; J. D. Diggins, V. C.; C. K. R. and S., Russell Work, M. F.; G. T. Henry, M. A.; J. H. Stewart, I. Guard, B. T. Ferguson, O. Guard; Moses Brooks, Turner Byrd and Eugene Miles, Trustees.
During the first three years of its existence, its membership had only reached about 30, it having to struggle against the older lodges and no

great effort being made to increase its membership. In January, 1910, the present Chancellor Commander, Anthon Porter was elected and installed with a corpse of young officers, who set about with a full determination to increase its membership and also its financial condition. During his first term the work was slow and tedious, but he and his officers and members never faltered but took as their motto "Push ahead," until they were reelected and upon their second term, they had increased their membership to about 45.
The members during this term believing that it is not wise to change officers when success seems assured, re-elected the C. Commander for a third term. The Booster Campaign was inaugurated and each and every member took up the spirit with the result that during this term its membership had increased to about sixty. The C. Commander was then re-elected

for the fourth term which ended in December, 1912. After having vigorously helped other lodges and the Deputy Grand Chancellor in the formation of new lodges. Stonewall Lodge stands with a membership of over 125 with applications continually coming in. This shows conclusively that this lodge is the mainstay for young men and in order for the young men of

When the present C. C. assumed office, the treasurer had about $30. At the present time it has on deposit to its credit $500.00. Another remarkable fact is that this lodge during the past two years has not lost a member by death, showing conclusively that they have taken a special pains in the selection of its members. Therefore, our doors are open to all deserving young men. We want to point with pride to Kt. Prince Bauman, who has the distinction of having brought into

A most enjoyable affair was given by Bridge City Lodge at their Home Coming on December 4. Speechmaking and feasting were the order for the evening and everyone present voted it the best that ever happened and looking forward to the next that is to be given by that hospitable organization. December 23 will long be remembered by the members of No. 7 and friends for on that occasion a banquet was tendered Knight W. H. Hastie by the Lodge for the efficient services rendered by that beloved brother who will soon leave
our midst to dwell in the capital, Washington, D. C. We regret that such is a fact, for there are few Knights just like him and we hope he will be able to return to us in the near future. On this occasion good cheer prevailed and Dr. C. S. Boyd as toastmaster set every one at ease, acting in that capacity. Responses to toasts were made by W. H. Keaton, A. A. Felding, Arthur Hazen and others, after which we sat down to the banquet tables which was loaded with the best of everything to which all present did justice. Thanks to the skilled management of Sir L. C. Lillison.
The outlook for the future is promising and we are full of hope and good cheer and extend fraternal greetings to all throughout the state.

The occasion of this large gathering of ladies and gentlemen—was the annual celebration of St. John's Day. At seven o'clock p. m. the pegan to gather, and from that hour till 8:30 there was a continuous stream of humanity until the spacious hall was packed, and every seat taken. Many people remained in the anteroom because of the crowded condition of the Lodge-rom. Promptly at 8:15 Mr. . ET. Brun, chairman of the Committee-at-Large, called the house to order. In a brief, pointed and intelligent manner he stated the nature of the occasion and introduced the master of ceremonies, Prof. T. B. Hardiman, of Central Texas Lodge No. 140. After a few preliminaries by him suitable for the affair, the following program was carried out: "All hall the power of Jesus' name," sung by the audience, led by aster of ceremonies, invocation by Rev. Preston Taylor, of East Star Lodge No. 20, principal address by Rev. G. W. Porter, pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church; very pertinent remarks by Rev. Preston Taylor and Rev. A. W. Thompson; menu consisting of four courses was served. Dr. Porter seemed to be at his best, judging from the masterly way in which he handled his subject and the manner in which he moved his audience. The remarks made by Rev. Preston Taylor and Rev. A. W. Thompson were very timely and worthy of emulating. Some of the best citizens of Nash-

WRECK OF PASSENGER TRAIN.
Winston-Salem, N. C., Jan. 3.—Quick action by a Negro averted the wrecking of an incoming passenger train from Greensboro this morning. He discovered a large telegraph pole which had been blown across the track by to-day's storm. After trying in vain to remove the obstacle before the arrival of the train he removed his red flannel shirt, proceeded a short distance down the track and flagged the train. Engineer E. E. Harris stopped the train a few yards from the pole.

Talks To Farmers.
County Demonstration Farm.
By T. F. Peck, Commissioner.
Since I have been connected with the Department of Agriculture I have been urging the importance and value of a county demonstration farm in every county to demonstrate the results of work of original investigation done by the experiment stations.
Experimental work is too expensive to be carried on by the individual farmer, and he is not equipped in the majority of cases with the necessary education for the work. Then there is no necessity of experiment by farmers on facts proven by the experiment stations. The important thing to do is to present the facts to the farmers on the demonstration farm in a way that will be applicable to them on their farms.
I have insisted that the demonstration farm should be typical of the average farm, and the equipment for the farm should be within reach of the average farmer, and no farm operation should be undertaken beyond the ability of the average farmer to follow on his farm. Two results should always be attained—increased production per acre and increased fertility.
To interest the farmer he must see how he can increase his production and increase the fertility of his farm without making expenditures out of his reach. When that is shown him and he has successfully taken the first step, he will more willingly make the second and third; each step in his progress will make the next one easier.
Now when I started this agitation I knew the Department of Agriculture did not have any available funds for getting the work under way, but I knew it would take the time to get the farmers to understand and appreciate the importance of the demonstration farm and that it did not interfere with any other work along agricultural lines, but intended to strengthen and make more effective the other work under way.
I have been trying to get the farmer to understand the difference between the work of the experiment station and that of the demonstration farm. The first solves the problem confronting the farmer; the latter demonstrates to the farmer how he can apply the solution on his farm to improve his farm and increase his revenues.
We all know that for every progressive farmer who is keeping abreast of the progress in agricultural pursuits, we have at least ninety who are not making progress; whose methods are antiquated; who are allowing their land to grow poorer. If we can reach, interest and help this class of farmers the beneficial effects will be felt by all professions and industries.
The experiment stations are doing their work well. Our college of agriculture offers educational advantages along agricultural lines. Much is being accomplished by the agricultural short courses and farmers' institutes. The United States farm demonstration agents are doing a valuable work with individual farmers in special crop production, but the field for the county demonstration farm is not covered. It will afford opportunity for continuity of effort in soil building; it will serve as an object lesson; a practical working demonstration, not only with a few acres for a special crop, but covering every feature of farm work. It will form a center for community interest; it will bring the farmers together; will develop co-operation; will make possible and practical community specialization in breeding live stock, and specializing in crop production, guaranteeing best prices to farmers for their products.
We have abundant evidence that the farmers' interest in the demonstration farm is aroused; we have inquiries from every county in the state asking how the demonstration farm can be secured.
The Department of Agriculture suggests that the county court of each county wanting the demonstration farm, buy a tract of land typical of the farms of the county, that* the equipment and labor be provided by the county and the county receive all the revenues from the farm. This should be a paying investment for the county, because the farm to serve its purpose, must produce a profit and increase in fertility each year.
To pay for the expert direction of the farms, the next Legislature should enact a law allowing the Department of Agriculture to use the money derived from the sale of fertilizer tags and feed and seed inspection stamps in excess of the amount necessary to pay for the fertilizer, feed and seed inspection and incidental expenses. This fund would pay for expert direction of the farms and the College of Agriculture could provide the agricultural experts from their graduates; thus opening a field for young men that would attract the brightest to agriculture.
The demonstration farm should be in connection with the high school of the county and the agriculturist could teach agriculture in the high school. The farmers pay the tax from which this fund is derived, and it should be expended directly for their benefit.
The county demonstration farm will be a power in the development of the agriculture of our State. A bill along the line suggested will be introduced at the coming Legislature. If you want to see the demonstration farm made possible, see your Representative and insist that he help secure the passage of the County Demonstration Farm Bill. It interferes with no other work along agricultural lines, but will stimulate interest that will be noticeable in the crop production of the State, in the reclamation of the run down land, in improvement of live stock, in the im

SHALL THE NEGRO SOLDIER BE
ELIMINATED?
The agitation of measures to disband the Negro regiments in the regular army make this query pertinent at this time. If it is to be answered in the affirmative, then who could so soon forget the deeds of heroism in the affirmative, then woe to America. Any country could so soon forget the deeds of heroism performed in its honor by the Negro soldier, is not worthy of perpetuation. Mere words cannot tell of his loyalty, bravery and devotion. From Bunker Hill to San Juan, on a thousand hard fought battlefields, at the frontier and in the distant isles of the sea, the black American soldier has sacrificed himself unsparingly for his country. He has never brought disgrace to it, and to-day, the four Negro regiments are the uower of whole army. No. It must not be. It will not be. America is to virille to generous too brave.

EXPOSITION FEATURE
FACULTY
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former chief chemist, United States department of agriculture, has become a member of the advisory board of the National Conservation exposition, and he will direct the health and pure food exhibit at the exposition to be held in Knoxville this year, with the aid of prominent local physicians and leading physicians of other cities who will form the health committee. This exhibit will be one of the big features of the exposition in October and November. The fact that Dr. Wiley will be connected with this exhibit is assurance within itself that an exhibit along this line will be national in its character, say exposition officials. Special attention is being give; to the pure food exhibit just now and it will occupy a special section of the balcony of the liberal arts building.
W. M. Goodman, general manager of the National Conservation exposition, who has been ill at his home for about a month, was able to visit the local exposition office Saturday, where he went over the proposed work of the exposition with several of his assistants. Mr. Goodman, though ill, is still enthusiastic, and he believes that the greatest exposition in the history of the south will be held in Knoxville in October and November, 1913.

Good Showing for Y. W. W. C. A. Club
Under the auspices of the Y. W. C.
A. Club. Tuesday afternoon, Santa Claus remembered more than fifty untortunate children with fruits, candy and nuts. In addition to this, eight cloaks, five boy suits, 22 caps, six hats, 13 pairs of stockings, children's underwear and dresses in great number were given out, and until a late hour they were out carrying baskets to the sick and poor. Too much cannot be said in commendation of the work of these young women, led on by Mesdames Coombs and Lewis.
Y.M.L.C.
Monday night, December 30, the club celebrated Christmas with quite a rousing program suiting the occasion, at the h one of Mr. Mansfield Douglass. The program consisted of numbers especially prepared for Christmas. The club was also favored with the presence of a number of visitors also a representative from Willie Cockrill, the secretary of the y. L. L. C., in person of Miss same. Prof. E. L.Kinflier, President Emeritus of the club, was also present and made quite interesting remarks in his appearance on the program. After the rendition of the program all enjoyed a unique menu of two courses, prepared by the hostess, aft which toasts upon various toques imposed by the toastmaster, were enlarged upon by the gentlemen.
Prof. P. M. Davis, Principal of the Slater Public School, of Birmingham, spent Christmas week in the city. He is the guest of Roger Williams University. Prof. Davis is a graduate from the College Department of Atlanta Baptist College and a young man of splendid reputation in his state.
Prof. and Mrs. C. C. Collins, of the Philander Smith College, of Little Rock, spent Christmas in Nashville. While here they were headquartered at Young's Hotel on Cedar street.
Rev. William Haynes and family met with a serious and somewhat painful accident by being run into by an auto fire truck one evening last week. Rev. Haynes' family carriage was standing in front of Payne Chapel Methodist Church when, it is stated, the auto swung round the corner and completely upset the vehicle and demolished it. In the carriage were Rev. and Mrs. William Haynes, Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Haynes and two small children. Had it not been for a very gentle horse, there might have been some seriously injured.
In the absence of Mr. Sanders, the secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, Mr. Wm. Crawford will have charge of the arrangements and a good program will be rendered Sunday at the usual hour. Shop meeting and Bible Classes will be discontinued until the return of the secretary.
DR. LANDRITH SPEAKS IN IN-
DIANAPOLIS.
Dr. Ira Landrith, one of Nashville's
most progressive citizens, captured
the Negroes of a Northern city re-
cently in an address before the Y. M.
C. A. at Indianapolis, Ind. The
Indianapolis Sun says the following
about the meeting:
Those attending the Y. M. C. A. Big
Meeting at English's theater Sunday,
attended to a talk commending the
Negroes driven by southerner, Dr.
Ira Landrith. The speech was enlivened by many droll stories,
some of them actual experiences, and
the audience laughed almost constan-
"There are Negroes who are as clean and as square and as worthy as any worthy white man," said Dr. Landrith. "You of the north cannot realize the change in the Negro race, but much is yet to be done, and a great deal can be accomplished by a broader view of the race problem. The period from the Civil War to the present time will go down in history as marking the greatest advancement ever known to any race. "Is there a Negro question? If so there is only one way to solve it and that is through education. It will be solved through the church and the school."
The subject of the talk was "Plantation Humor and Philosophy." Many shop and factory men responded to special invitations making the crowd one of the largest of the season. Dr. Landrith is president of Ward's seminary at Nashville. Tenn.
Previous to the talk E. O. Inglemann, cello soloist, entertained the crowd with a solo, and the Big Meeting orchestra presented a program made up of southern melodies and old plantation songs.

FRANCHISE FOR NEW COMPANY
Bill Will Be Introduced in the Council for Street Railway Concern.
For the purpose of constructing lines and operating cars over thirty, four miles of streets in Nashville, the construction and operation of a commercial lighting system and for connecting with other street railway lines now operating in the city, the Nashville Traction Company, capitalized at $500,000 has been granted a charter by the Secretary of State and will have introduced in the City Council an ordinance asking for a franchise for fifty years and providing for the payment of 3 per cent of its gross revenues from the railway and lighting plant to the city annually.
The incorporators of the new company are the following gentleman: George M. Hendrie, Russell A. Alger, Henry Ledyard, W. Howe Muir and Walter O. Parmer. The last named is a Nashville man, while the others are Northern capitalists and are connected with street railway enterprises in Detroit. It is understood that the company will spend $44,000,000 in constructing its plant in Nashville.
Surveys Made.
The various streets over which the proposed new line will operate, as shown in the ordinance to be presented to the City Council to night, embrace in the main streets which are not now occupied by the Nashville Railway & Light Company's tracks, although the ordinance provides that where the public welfare demands they shall have the right to connect with the lines of any other company operating in the city.
The surveys of these lines were made several days ago when representatives of the company visited Nashville and mapped out the proposed rights of way. That there will be considerable opposition to plans of the new company through certain streets, goes without saying.
The whole matter, however, after the passage of the bill through the City Council, will be referred to the citizens for a vote on the question of whether or not Nashville shall have another street railway company.
While the plans of the company refer to certain interurban extensions, the immediate plans of the company, according to Capt. T. M. Steger, who represents them in Nashville, are to build and operate the several lines in the city and to erect and operate its power plant before branching out into other territory.
Amply Financed.
It is also understood that the new company is amply financed and that the men back of the project have had considerable experience in street railway projects and are thoroughly convinced that another line in Nashville will pay them sufficient dividends to warrant them putting several million dollars into the project. The new line, according to the provisions of the ordinance, will offer re-

duced rates to school children and also purposes to operate carol cars, etc. and to pay the city not only 3 per cent of the gross revenues derived from the operation of its street railway, but also 3 per cent of the gross revenues from its lighting plant. As stated in the ordinance, the new company asks for a fifty-year franchise, at the end of which time it is optional with the city to purchase. The new company will also ask for rights of way to all the parks of the city and crossings over the Jefferson street bridge and Broadway bridge. The various streets to be occupied by the new company are given in the ordinance.
Proposed Ordinance.
The ordinance which it is proposed to have introduced in the City Council provides among other things the following: Whereas, the Nashville Traction Company has been organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee, and proposes, subject to the consent of the Mayor and City Council of Nashville, to operate street railway lines in the city of Nashville, and to transport passengers over any of its lines and connections within the City of Nashville, and especially school children at a reduced rate of fare as herein set out, and to give transfers at such points and street corners as may be most convenient to the traveling public, and proposes to manufacture, generate, distribute and sell electric light, heat and power, and to pay over to the Mayor and City Council of Nashville for the use and benefit of the city three per cent. of said company's gross annual car, light and power receipts; and.
Whereas, it is greatly to the interest of the people of Nashville and vicinity that this be effected; now, therefore.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the City Council of Nashville, that the Nashville Traction Company, a street railroad, light and power company, virtue of the laws of the State of organized and existing under and by Tennessee, with its location in Davidson County, in said state, be, and it is, hereby granted the right of way for and authorized and empowered to own, use, construct, lay down, build, operate and maintain street railways or railroads, to be operated by electric or gasoline power, or other motive power, in, over and through the following streets, ways, alleys, squares, viaducts, bridges and avenues of sald city of Nashville, Tennessee, and over and through the lands of private persons or owners within the limits of sald city, which have been or which may hereafter be condemned or acquired, or when the consent of the owner shall have been first obtained, under the rules and regulations and restrictions and conditions hereafter prescribed.

Charles Banks, cashier of the bank of Mound Eayon, Mississippi, which
supplies a large share of the funds necessary to conduct the agricultural operations of the farming community of which the little Negro town of Mound Bayou is the center, will discuss the question from the point of view of the man who makes the loans. One of the features of the day's proceedings will be the exhibits showing some of the results of the Demonstration Farming Work being done in the several counties adjoining Tuskegee Institute where the demonstration method of teaching farmers has been in operation. The reports of the Demonstration Agents will be lowed by a distribution of prize the corn clubs organized and ducted in these counties.

STATE NORMAL STUDENTS
SPEND PLEASANT CHRIST
CHRISTMAS
By far the largest part of the student body left State Normal Saturday morning, December 21, to spend the Christmas holidays at their respective homes. In some cases the numbers were so large that the railroad company granted special cars to be used exclusively by the school people.
Students, friends and patrons of the school are manifesting much pride and deep interest in their relations to the institution. In every city which has had a large representation at the Normal this year there have been conducted home-courning events which have made both the school and the students popular. Receptions were given in honor of students and faculty, and upon occasions the students turned out wearing their attractive uniforms and made very favorable impressions.
There has been, for those who have remained at school during the holidays, no lack of Christmas spirit and Christmas pleasure. On Sunday all were in attendance at the services conducted at Fisk University, and the various churches throughout the city, while on Wednesday evening everybody got a present off of the Christmas tree, which stood in the girls' dormitory. On Friday night, December 27th, both the faculty and students of the school were invited to Fisk University to attend a social given in Carnegie Library. The invitation was accepted, everybody went and spent a most delightful evening. Every individual remained until the very last minute, 9:30 o'clock.
The school has missed, during a part of the holidays, the charming personality of Mrs. A. M. Meeks, wife of Prof. A. M. Meeks, and preceptress in the boys' dormitory. Mrs. Meeks has not been very well for a few days and went to Hubbard Hospital to receive special treatment.
There have been several visitors at the school during the week, among whom was Mr. Ed. Howard, of Decatur, Ill. He came to visit his wife, who is taking the Teacher's Training Course at the Normal. Miss D. F. Rochon, of Fisk University, spent several days with her sister, Miss E. R. Rochon. Miss Clara Hodgkins, of Tuskegee Institute, visited her sister, Miss Hattie Hodgkins; Miss Kate Graves, of Atlanta, Ga., now specializing in Music at Fisk University is spending the week at the school as the guest of Miss Edwina Smith. Miss Beatrice M. Ruffin, teacher in the city schools of Washington, D. C., is spending the holidays with her sister, Miss Lola M. Ruffin, of the Department of English.
