PYTHIAN SPECIAL NASHVILLE GLOBE. NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VIII. REPORTED TO STOCKHOLDERS PEOPLES' SAVINGS BANK. Institution Less Than Four Years Old —President in Annual Address Speaks Encouragingly—All Offi- cials Pulling Together—Fu- ture Outlook Most Flat- tering —Election of Officers 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.

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 DR.

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. In the Receiving Line. The guests were graciously presented by Register Napier. In the receiving line Mrs. A. D.

CRAWFORD Peerless Leader of the Pythian Forces since the organization of the State Grand Lodge. 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.

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- stood." Then, "Fear not, ye who now press on, For the victory shall be won; Pause not, but increase your speed In this march there is constant need "There are foes well worth the fight ing. There are wrongs well worth the righting; There are sorrowing hearts to bless, There's oppression to redress. Here's the field for worthy labor, GOOD AND NOBLE WOMAN GONE MRS. LUCY TAPPAN PHILLIPS ANSWERS FINAL CALL. At a Still Hour Saturday Night the 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 LATE MRS.

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. Fisk University had no more loyal J. H. BROWN, Memphis, Grand Master of Exchequer.

TENNESSEE'S LEAL ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.2 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 PROF. A. THOMAS HILL, Pulaski, Secretary Endowment Board. 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 (Continued on page 10.)

FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1913. Civic Center. The plan to establish a Civic Center 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. McCullouch, 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 is 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 institutions for Negroes, that would constitute a great center in the South. The temperament of the people here is such that such a scheme, if practicable, could be worked out to much advantage. Prof. McCullouch's article should be read carefully, and again and again. There is much need for thought and sober consideration; more than we can attempt to discuss now—more, probably, than it is expedient to discuss at this time. But it is a matter that should engage the thought of our men and women who have ability to handle the great questions of this 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 conserved so much about what faction controls as they are about what laws 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 is the home of all her citizens and that the interest of one is the interest of the other. At a recent meeting of the Jeffersonian Debating Club, the subject "Resolved, That under certain circumstances lynching is justifiable," was decided in favor of the affirmative. 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 citizens of this city. It would be well if every one, from the humblest 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 in which the colored citizens predominate; where they own most of the land; we wish to speak specifically of these. Every one owes it to himself to be interested in his community. He should be concerned about everything that affects his community. There is being organized in this city community societies. All the people should join this movement. Because it affords an opportunity for exchange of opinion and for the cultivation of friendly relations between neighbors. In these community meetings an opportunity presents itself for a concerted action in everything that pertains to the general good. These meetings will develop courageous citizens and will enable the people to ferret out everything objectionable to the community and move it out. This cannot be suc NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1913. THE GREAT PROMISE. Mr. Editor: Long may you live to fight the battles 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 self-sacrificing. Continue in this well-begun work and success must come to you. It seems hardly possible, sir, for you, in the present issue of the Globe, to suppress or outdo your truly commendable edition of the holidays. It was a great event in your history. Your resources, however, are many, your courage undaunted and your perseverance unsurpassed. I therefore feel that success is assured. We should like to see the circulation of the Globe increased one hundred per cent, and Columbia and Columbians are standing ready and willing to hold up your arms and support you in this great effort. Only thou our leader be, and we still shall follow thee. Monarch Lodge No. 30, the parent lodge here, and Bruce Lodge No. 52 are both wide-awake and have a fine equipment of members and officers that are a pride to the community. The ladies also of the Courts vie with the brothers in disseminating the great principles of the order. Monarch Lodge is ten years old and the following list is the present roster of its officers: A.

Emanclapion Day was well observed at this point. St. Paul A. M. E. Church was filled with a large body of earnest and patriotic listeners. The exercises were in keeping with and most befitting the great day of freedom and progress of America's black men. It was a great day in our history, one long to be remembered. 410 Cedar Gul cessfully done unless there is a mutual understanding; a getting together and in a sane way, arrive at conclusions as to the best method to do this or that, and always keeping in mind that the interest of the whole is greater than that of an individual. Race Feeling. The Pittsburg Dispatch quotes a Negro preacher in Chicago as making complaint of "the emuity to the Negro race caused by the conduct of Jack Johnson." The preacher is quoted as specifying "an instance where thirty-five colored employees, whose services had been satisfactory, were discharged because their employers felt outraged by Johnson's pranks." The Dispatch remarks by way of comment, "Of course, this is rank and stupid injustice with the sole mitigation of not being so atrocious as lynch law." Lynching, or mob violence—the term mob law is a paradoxical misnomer—is an evil without defense, and excused by nobody except some benighted people of the Cole Blease type. One of the worst lynchings on record took place in Pennsylvania 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 ever discharged from employment in the South because of the misdoings of one of their race with whom they had no connection. On nearly every occasion in the North where there has been a Negro lynching the vengeance of the mob was manifested toward all the Negroes in the community. That sort feeling has been rare in the South. The Southern whites permit no "Negro equality," and in their relations to the blacks they control. The crime or a black man against a white man or woman is all too apt to provoke vio'ence on the part of the whites, but it seldom is accompanied by any manifestation of general race hatred. On the old terms that have always existed between the races in the South the whites and blacks continue friendly and interdependent. The above from the Nashville Banner is true only in part. Sometimes the Negroes of a community are not molested when one commits a crime, but too often it is just the reverse. The South is all right, but she has mud on her skirts and plenty of 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 practicing law in this state fifty years hence? One answer a week will be sufficient. DAYTON NOTES. Mrs. George Wilkes, of Carpe, Tenn., died Sunday, December 29, and was buried Tuesday. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. T.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. OF THE CITY OF NEWARK DR. C. V. ROMAN Secret societies have been a blessing as well as a bane to our people. The good, however, has greatly outweighed the ill. Lessons in co-operation have undoubtedly been the most valuable of the "secrets." There is just now a great opportunity for our secret orders to become a positive blessing to our people. The enormous death rate is appalling. It is in the power of our secret societies to help this condition. How? by utilizing our lodge meetings as schools of instruction. An hour given once or twice a month to the study of hygiene and sanitation 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 meetings?" How can we preserve the health and prolong the lives of our members?" ought to be as interesting 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 live 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 investigate closely the causes of death, and separate sharply the necessary from the avoidable deaths. The individual lodges should be furnished regularly with these facts quarterly or semi-annually. There should be a copy placed in the hands of every member, and how to lessen the number of necessary deaths, and to entirely eliminate avoidable deaths, should become live topics in our meetings. It would pay the Endowment Department to hire some competent person to prepare this literature—a systematic and constructive campaign along this line will not only be for the "good of the order," but for the good of the race. Sickness is a serious tax upon the energies of a race and a high death-rate forms an insurmountable barrier to continued progress. Ill health is a chain that will securely bind the poor man to his poverty, and handicap even a rich man's accomplishment. Health is the first of earthly blessings and a long life is the second. Wisdom and wealth, was sung by the vast audience, all standing: THANKSGIVING SONG. Tune, Essex. Words, J. H. Kelly Halleluiah. sound the chorus! Lift your voices while you may; Shout, proclaim God's name mos glorious. Hail. O hail, this Natal day! Lord of Hosts, Thou King of Glory! Grateful hearts to Thee we bring; Here we sing redemption's story, Tribute pay a risen King. Freedom in our hearts we nounrish Refuge from oppression won; This glad theme the race will cherish Through the ages yet to come. Tell the story, the glad token, Of a race that went in chains; How the fetters now are broken, And the God of Glory reigns. Come, ye children, do not linger, Duty calls, why not obey? Heed its voice, let nothing hinder, Forward all, 'tis Freedom's day. Onward then, let no one waver, For a ransomed race we sing; Adoration to our Maker. The above contribution to Fredon's day is but a very poor offering when judged merely by any literary test. We are however actuated by a higher, nobler motive: we feel the very spirit of the occasion, and bone that all may catch the inspiration that should come to them by fully measuring up to the occasion and know what the day symbolizes and the lesson it is designed to teach our children and the race. Cannot we spare one day in the year and de power and place, follow in their train. If we are to lose a large per cent of our college bred folks before they are thirty and the majority of our successful men before they pass middle life. "In vain we'll strive to rise." Physical energy is the baiss of worldly success, and the primary need of our people to-day is to conserve their _physical_ force. Our educated people must live long enough to pay back with interest the price of their education. The college bred man who dies at graduation, or soon thereafter, dies in debt to society. If he dies through his own ignorance or carelessness, he absconds without paying his board bill. He throws away other people's money. Our successful men must live until their successors are qualified, if we are to hold our own and advance. The thirtieth birthday marks the summer solstice of the average man's career. He should have at least thirty active years from that date to make and reap his rewards. A high birth-rate is not a full compensation for a high death-rate. The energies of the race are exhausted in merely trying to live and no strength is left for improvement. How much land could a farmer till if he broke fresh horses every morning? He could make no headway even if the horses were given him and a race that loses its prepared men and women prematurely cannot find compensation for the loss in a high birth-rate. The drain must be stopped. How? By teaching our people to utilize all available opportunities to improve their physical condition. One illustration will suffice. Davidson County, Tenn., has built a modern Tuberculosis Hospital equal accommodations for colored and white. Although there are more deaths among the colored than among the whites from tuberculosis, there are fewer colored patients at the hospital than whites. The average colored person stricken with tuberculosis would rather remain a burden to his relatives and finally die than go to the hospital and get well. To enlighten our people along these lines is a great opportunity. Let us hope that our fraternal leaders may see that "The Good of the Order" consists in embracing promptly this opportunity. vote it exclusively to racial progress. Will we not do it? Why not? If in this respect our purpose is realized then our object is gained and we are fully compensated for the little time and means used in the effort.—Author. Thus, sir, fifty years have gone and now look down upon us, years of labor not unmixed with good. The past is secure, but of the future, who can tell? It is only in the bosom of the great God above who knows what the future shall be. But we will strive on. We will not give up, nor surrender a foot of the vantage ground of freedom. Persevering in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us march ahead, for the victory is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, butto him only who endureth unto the end.

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. 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 A. B. JAMES E. PURYEAR, Prelate. 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.

Address National Baptist Publishing Board R. H. BOYD, Sec'y, 123 Second Ave., N NASHVILLE, 170 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 NASHVILLE GLOBE.

Are You a Booster? 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. Boost. Boost.

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.

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- KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A.

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. Sunday-School Congress, Muskogee, Okla., June 4 to 9. "Don't Forget The Date. Be Sure to Remember the Place—Muskogee." THE TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL TUSKEGEE NEGRO CON- FERENCE Tuskegee, Alabama, December 31, 1912—"Agricultural credit" and "Finances of the Negro Public School" will be the two principal topics of discussion at the Twenty-Second Annual Negro Farmers' Conference to be held at the Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama on Wednesday and Thursday, January 23rd and 23rd The first day's conference will be given over to the Negro farmers. As stated in the program, the subject for discussion is, "How to secure Cheaper Money for Running the Farm." This puts the problem of agricultural credit in terms that the Negro farmer understands and is interested in. Representative Negro farmers from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas will describe the present condition of the Negro farmer in the states from which they come and the present methods of obtaining loans, rates of interest and so forth. Individual farmers will tell how they have succeeded in reducing the principal and rates of interest upon their yearly loans. R. L. Smith, of Waco, Texas, who is the head of a Negro Farmer's Cooperative Association in that state which has established a bank, will discuss the subject of Co-operative Credit and the success of the Texas farmers in cutting down the item of interest in the farmer's annual budget. 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. The second day's session conference is the meeting of the St. Peters, Principalis, School Trustees, others actively interested in school work. The subject for discussion is stated by the program committee. How to Secure more Money for the Public Schools. Teachers and Principalis of Schools in Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia will describe the present condition of the schools in their home communities and the various means employed by the county school teachers to secure the interest of white planters, county school superintendents, and others, in meeting the needs of the Negro farmers are taxing themselves in order to improve the school building and lengthen the school term in different local communities. It is expected that representatives the Anna T. Jeanes Fund, for the improvement of Negro rural schools, and also that the new State Supervisor of Negro public schools in Alabama will speak at this conference session. Ask the Insurance Commissioner he Knows 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.
