NASHVILLE GLOBE. STATE NORMAL STOCKHOLDERS DEDICATED OF ONE-GENT BANK NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VIII. EXERCISES HELD IN THE SCHOOL CHAPEL. Noble Educators From All parts of The State Participate—Gov... Hooper, Prof. Brister, State... Sup't of Education and Hon. S. H. Thompson Speakers. The formal dedication of the Colored Tennessee State Normal School took place yesterday afternoon in the school chapel. Special preparation had been made for this occasion and the ground and buildings presented an attractive scene. Added to what had been done by the Committee in charge of arrangements, the natural location of the school is such as to make it a center of attraction at all times. The exercises were held at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and a large representation of Nashville's citizenship, as well as that of the state, was present to participate in the exercises. Governor B. W. Hooper was the principal speaker of the occasion and was apparently delighted to be present as he has always evidenced a deep interest in the welfare of this institution. He made a speech which was characteristic or the man, and in a plain, straightforward way made it clear that it is his policy to consider every man for his worth regardless of nationality or previous condition. Mayor H. E. Howse, than whom there is no truer friend to the Negro to be found, was on hand and delivered one of his forceful speeches. He expressed himself as delighted to be present at this dedication and stated that he was largely instrumental in bringing this State Normal to Nashville. He also said he believed in a square deal for all men, and that it was a pleasure to him to lend his presence to the dedication of the Colored State Normal and he always stood ready to do whatever was in his power to promote the welfare of the colored citizens of Nashville. Hon. S. H. Thompson, of Athens, Tenn., a member of the State Board of Education, made a strong appeal for practical education. He reviewed the progress of education in a general way, and expressed himself as deeply interested in the training of the Negro youth of this state. Hon. J. W. Brister, superintendent of Education, spoke in glowing terms of the school and expressed the hope that the time would come when the influence of the State Normal would be felt in every quarter of the state. The association of school officers, which is holding session in the city, attended the exercises in a body. This association is composed of all the county superintendents of the state and principals of high schools. The State Assembly was represented by a special committee appointed by Speakers White and Stanton. Hon. S. P. Harris, Councilman from the Third Ward, represented the colored citizens of the city. All of the colleges and universities were well represented, as was the Colored Board of Trade and other local organizations. Many visitors were present from different parts of the state and the exercises of the Colored State Normal School will go down in history as one of the greatest exercises ever held in the State of Tennessee. TELLS HIS STORY TO THE SENATORS Washington, January 14.—A story of how copies of letters from John D. Archbold to former Senator Foraker and other public men were taken from the Standard Oil Company's office at 26 Broadway, New York, by W. Winkfield and Charles Stump, messengers, employed by the company, was told to the senate campaign fund investigating committee by Gilchrist Stewart, a law clerk. Mr. Stewart said he was employed by Mr. Foraker to investigate whether certain photographic copies of letters published were forgeries. Winkfield was found in Chicago, Stewart said, and told him a story of how he and Stump took copies of letters from the Standard Oil files and disposed of them to a representative of the New York American. While in Chicago on December 21, Stewart declared, he was kildapped by "gangsters," taken to the office of the Chicago Examiner and robbed of a number of letters and papers, including two letters to him from former Senator Foraker. The witness gave a circumstantial account of his efforts to escape from the "gangsters," who had searched the house in which he was stopping and a hotel, and of the alleged offence in the Examiner office. The men who kidnapped him, he said, told him they were policemen, exhibited what purported to be warrants and attempted to make him believe the Examiner office was a police station. NEIGHBORHOOD UNION INSTAL LATION Next Monday night the Neighborhood Union will hold a public installation at Pleasant Green Baptist Church. Lawyer J. W. Grant will be the principal speaker. HOLD ANNUAL MEETING TO RES VIEW YEAR'S WORK. Reports of Officials Highly Satisfactory—Many States Represented —Clearance Nearly a Million Dollars—Work Shown in Comparative Statement. Showing a clearance of nearly $4,000,000 for the past five years, a clearance of $832,000 for the year just closed, with an increase of $45,000 over the year 1911, was the big surprise brought out at the Annual Stockholders meeting of the One-Cent Savings Bank, which was held in the Director's room of the Bank, Monday night, January 13th. When Dr R. H. Boyd, the President called the meeting to order and after Dr. C. H. Clark had offered prayer, the Assistant Cashier called the roll revealing the fact that more than four-fifths of the paldup stock was present and that the One-Cent Savings Bank had sold stock, not only in the city of Nashville and the State of Tennessee, but in New York, Buffalo, the district of Columbia, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Illinois, Texas and DR. R. H. BOYD, President One-Cent Savings Bank. Jamalca, in the British West Indies. The hearty enthusiasm with which the reports of the old body of Directors and Officers were received during the evening, makes it evident that banking business among Negroes is taking on more life. Quite a number of new stockholders were present, some who had purchased stock only the preceding day. Also a number of invited guests were at the meeting, among these being Mr. W. N. Sanders, Executive Secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A.; Mr. Louis G. North, Financial Secretary of the Drivers Mutual Aid Association; Mr. A. J. C foster, Ex-President Drivers Mutual Aid Association and Mr. A. J. Frazier, all of whom expressed themselves as highly gratified with the meeting. The enthusiastic "here, present, here and present" in answer to the roll call, took in some of Nashville's foremost citizens, as well as many prominent persons unknown in Nashville, as they reside in other states and cities. It was noticed that Albert Homer Dyson, Jr., was the youngest stockholder on the list. President Boyd delivered his ninth annual address which was received with applause. The Assistant Cashier, C. N. Langston, strengthened the address of the President by making a report for the year ending December 31, 1912 supplementing this with a report of the first 13 days in January, 1913. The Auditing Committee made its report which was read by Dr. C. V. Roman, a member of this committee. woman, a member of this committee. The Attorney for the Institution, Hon. J. W. Grant, reported that there had been no necessity for claims in court and that all matters had been settled that came up for settlement. The Chairman of the Executive Committee, Rev. Presn Tostay, then made a stirring address, going over the work of the Committee for the past year. He urged upon the stockholders to co-operate with the Directors and the Executive Committee in disposing of all stock saying the demand for money with gilt edge security was never greater and that the tide of banking business seems to be turned towards the One-Cent Savings Bank. After hearing reports from all the old Directors and Officers, new stock was sold, quite a batch being disposed of. Among those who purchased and those who increased their stock were Dr. C. H. Clark, Pastor, Mt. Olive Baptist Church; Serj, Matt C. White, L & N. Railroad, L N. North, Blacksmith, Financial Secretary of the Drivers Mutual Aid Association; Rev. Wm. Haynes, Pastor of Sylvan Street Baptist Church; Mr. M. C. Copeland, Mechanic; A. N. John- (Continued on page 4.) NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JANUARY 17. 1913.

To the Honorable Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Fifty-Eighth General Assembly of the State of Tennessee: In obedience to the mandate of our State Constitution, I herewith transmit to you the following message: It is not my purpose to attempt in this paper a discussion of all the important questions of legislation that will command your consideration during the current session of the General Assembly. At a later date, I hope to offer suggestions as to other matters of interest to the State. Inspection of State Banks. There is a strong public demand for a law providing for the inspection of State banks. The sentiment has grown in volume year by year, accelerated by repeated bank failures. The Legislature of 1911 gave serious consideration to the enactment of such a law. Since then a number of State bank failures have occurred, disastrous alike to stockholders and depositors. I urgently recommend the enactment of a State bank inspection law that will protect the people from the looting of banks from the inside and that will give the banks the benefit of increased public confidence and business. Tennessee is one of only three States which have no bank inspection law, and the federal government has declined to make postal deposits in our State banks for that reason. The law, without being unnecessarily drastic, should insure the close, careful, competent and frequent inspection of banking institutions chartered by the State. Some method should be adopted for penalizing such directors as accept the position to attract depositors to the bank and who perform none of the duties of a director. Dummy and decoy directors constitute one of the chief menaces to safe banking. Anti-Pass Law The enactment of a law forbidding the issuance of railroad passes, telegraph franks, Pullman passes and similar favors from public service corporations to public officials, will meet with the strong approval of the people. At one time there was but little sentiment in our State against this practice, but today an enlightened public conscience has resulted in platform declarations by all parties in Tennessee against it. The Legislature cannot justify itself in failing to pass such a law. Fellow-Servants Law All political parties in this State have frequently and solemnly promised the repeal of the ancient legal doctrine that an employer is not liable to his employee in damages for an injury due to the negligence of his fellow employee. Every party organization represented in the present Legislature declared in its 1912 platform by unanimous vote in favor of this repeal. The General Assembly of 1913 owe to themselves as a matter of honor and to the laboring men of the State as a long-delayed act of justice the enactment of such a law. In so doing, we will merely follow in the wake of nearly all enlightened nations, many of the States of our nation and the Federal Government. The Divorce Evil. Two years ago I called the attention of the Legislature to the great evils proceeding from the lax administration of liberal divorce laws. Since then the court reports have shown that the percentage of divorces relative to the population is constantly increasing. Agricultural Department. The administration of the agricultural department during the past year and a half has been one of which the State should feel proud. The work of the Farmers' Institutes and the agricultural trains have been useful in bringing the department close to the average farmer. The bulletins and newspaper work of the department have been remarkably well handled for the education of the farmers of the State. The idea of establishing demonstration farms in the various counties has been promulgated by the department and has taken hold of the people as a practical method of demonstrating the agricultural possibilities of each county. The operation of such a farm should be directly profitable to the county and would be of vast benefit to all the farming interests of the community in the increase of fertility and production and the demonstration of the adaptability of the soils. Compulsory Education If it is wise for Tennessee to tax its citizens for the maintenance of a free school system, it is wise for the State to follow the matter up and make sure that the children get the benefit of the money. Many thousands of children are being deprived of the blessings of the State's educational beneficence by the negligence of parents or the greed of employers. I favor and recommend a Compulsory Education Law. Such a law has already been enacted for several counties in the State. It should now be made general, and should be made strict enough to bring results in the immediate increase of the attendance upon the public schools. Tennessee Reformatory. The Legislature of 1907 made an appropriation of $10,000 for a reformatory for juvenile criminals. With this money a desirable tract of land was purchased at Jordonia, near Nashville. No further steps were taken toward the establishment of the reformatory until the Legislature of 1911 made an appropriation of $50,000 for building and $10,000 for additional land. The reformatory owns 166 acres of good farming land, bought at reasonable prices. In accordance with the action of the last Legislature, the $50,000 appropriation has been expended in the construction of buildings. Without going into detail, it may be stated that the Board of Trustees have created substantial and commodious buildings for white and colored boys, respectively, on the opposite ends of the farm. A visit to this institution will convince Legislators that the State's money has been well spent, and that there are further needs to be supplied by the State. The original act creating a reformatory provided that all boys under the age of eighteen, convicted of felonies, should be sent to the reformatory instead of the penitentiary. Since this law was passed various Juvenile Court laws have been enacted which empower these juvenile courts to commit boys to the State Reformatory. A condition has resulted from this fact which ought to be corrected. The juvenile courts are filling the reformatory with boys that would not be sent there by the criminal and circuit courts of the State. As is well known, the procedure in juvenile courts is somewhat lax and liberal. Boys are picked up and committed by these courts with but little semblance of a legal trial. The reformatory was intended to relieve the penitentiary of the custody of boys under eighteen years of age from all over the State, and not to serve as a convenient place of detention for prisoners from juvenile courts, nor to assume the aspects of a local institution. My meaning can be best illustrated by the following figures, showing the population of the institution since its opening, February 10, 1912. Total admitted, two hundred and four. Total Davidson County Juvenile Court, one hundred and one. The Reformatory Board will probably present to the Legislature further suggestions along this line. State Board of Examiners of Nurses. The last Legislature enacted a law creating a State Board of Examiners of Nurses, and provided for the regulation of the practice of trained nursing. One object of this bill was (Continued on page 4.) WHITE MEN SEEK CONTROL WANT TO BUY INTERSET IN INTERPRISES. Alabama District Alleged to be Infested—Texas Paper Unearths Their Schemes—Puts the Negro on Guard—Must Look to Hic Own Welfare. In a special from Birmingham, Ala., to the Weekly Hustler, of San Antonio, Texas, an article appeared dated December 31. The same is reproduced here for what it may be worth. It becomes apparent as the Negroes in Birmingham begin to make and save money that it is the intention of white men to use as much of this money as possible in enterprises to be ownde and controlled by them. For instance: At this moment an insurance company with a capital stock of $500,000 is being organized. All of the officers of this company are white men, although some of the agents are likely to be colored. It is the intention to sell a good portion of this capital stock to colored people. What premium they will be called upon to pay, however, has not been stated. It is an open secret that a group of leading white men are seeking a controlling interest in one of the leading colored banks. They intend to let Negroes control the bank outwardly, but to be controlled inwardly by this group of white financiers. It would be most unfortunate if our Negro banking institutions should pass into the hands of white men. An effort is being made even now to purchase in the open market stock which is already being sold by colored people in one of the Negro banks of the city. In addition to these efforts on the part of white men, they are placing stock among colored people in a loan society and also in a southern drinking concern similar to the coca cola company at Atlanta. MR. ANDREW J. NAPIER IN THE CITY EN ROUTE TO MEMPHIS ON LEGAL BUSINESS Nashville, Tenn., January 15.-Mr. Andrew J. Napier, of Vancouver, B.C., was in the city Wdnesday. He was en route to Memphis, where he goes to attend to legal matters. His wife was the daughter of Robert Church, and is in the state to contend for her share of the Church fortune. Mr. Church was Tennessee's wealthiest man of color. His recent death was heralded across the globe and his wealth was estimated at a million or more. He had several children prominent in Memphis and in other cities, but when his will was filed trouble began. Mrs. Napier, his first daughter, became the object of attack from the other children. It is alleged. They claimed that she was but a half sister and was not entitled to share in the estate. Mr. Napier, prominent in the insurance and real estate business in Vancouver, B.C., determined that the best way to fight for his wife's rights was to be on the ground. So with the advice of eminent counsel in their home city, supplemented by a conference with a famous Chicago attorney, they are in Memphis ready as they say "for the fray." When seen by a Globe correspondent Mr. Napier said that there was nothing new to report but that they were ready for the case to be called. BISHOP TYREE ADDRESSES Y. M. C. A Special to the Globe Louisville, Ky., January 5, 1913.—Bishop Evans Tyree, of Nashville, Tenn., addressed the Young Men's Christian Association this afternoon at the dedication of the new building of the colored branch.

ADDITION TO GREENWOOD CEMETERY It has just been learned that Rev Preston Taylor has purchased the Henry Cook Place on the Elm Hill Pike. This tract has a fronage of five hundred feet and contains nine acres. It is on the westside of Greenwood Cemetery. The deal was for cash. The price paid was not stated. The plot will be sown in blue grass, and set with trees and evergreen and otherwise beatified. TENNESSEE'S LEAL ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.3 NEGROES ARE WELL DEVIDED DIFFERENT OPINIONS ARE EXPRESSED ON CIVIC CENTER. All Agree on the Campaign to Raise Funds for Education—Opinion.. Runs That City is Indebted to Colleges—Public School and Library Not Included. Several meetings have been held in this city of the leading Negroes, together with some of the leading white educators, at which the question of the proposed Civic Center was fully discussed. The first meeting was the committee that was called to discuss the matter. At this committee meeting the question of segregation was brought up, Prof. J. E. McCulionch, who is the leading spirit in the Civic Center proposition, made it clear to those present that segregation had never entered his mind. But the members of that committee could not remove the thought of segregation entirely from their minds. Some said that the term civic center was only a new name for segregation and that while they believed that the intentions of Prof. McCulionch were far from such, there appeared to be some danger of the same results coming to pass in the Civic Center idea, should it be carried out. One of the oldest citizens of Northwest Nashville was heard to say that if the Civic Center was established in that part of the city he would move out at once, "for," said he, "when you make a community all educational you destroy the possibility of business enterprise." Others have advanced the idea of the impracticability of all the Negroes of any city settling in one corner. There are many disadvantages pointed out by leading men, while there are some who approve of such a scheme. At the meeting of the Board of Trade a resolution was passed endorsing the campaign for funds for the schools, but nothing was said of the Civic Center in that resolution; in fact, the resolution had to be divested of every word that suggested Civic Center before it could be adopted. At the mass-meeting Sunday at the First Baptist Church a large assemblage of citizens were on hand where the subject was freely discussed again. On this occasion Prof. McCullough said it did not appear to him to be necessary to be always explaining, but that he must rid the minds of the people of the idea that segregation had ever entered his mind. He said he felt that the white people of the South owed a great debt to the colored people, and that if God gave him life and strength he intended to pay his part of that debt. The earnestness with which Prof. McCullough made his plea was very impressive, but not sufficient to entirely frighten en away the segregation ghost. He lingered around, and when you get two or three Negroes together, if you can get close enough to hear what they are talking about, you will hear the word "segregation," and if you inquire into the conversation, they will tell you frankly that they are talking about that Civic Center propagation. The Negroes of Nashville are scattered pretty well over the city. There are five communities that are largely settled by colored people who are home owners. Northwest Nashville probably predominates in this respect. Southeast is another section that will run northwest close, for it would be hard to determine which has the larger population of colored people. The southeast section could be conveniently joined to the south end of the east side and then the east central section contains a large colored population that are well settled in their homes. North Edgefield and North Nashville can be linked as another community of colored people that are well fortified in their homes. The contention of Prof. McCullough that the territory he has outlined would accommodate three hundred thousand people does not gain in favor. It would mean that large flats of four or five stories would have to be erected all over that territory and that there would hardly be breathing room, to say nothing of parks and playgrounds to accommodate the peoples it would be almost similar to Chinatown in New York City, where the people are so thick you can't stir them with a stick, so to speak. The idea was advanced that the territory was unlimited, going in a northern direction, but that was off-set by a statement that before going very far northwest of the city you would reach the lowlands that at this time are covered with a lake of water five and six feet deep. These lowlands start in at the northeast corner of the city known as Bush's Brick Yard, and make a complete circle a half mile wide at some points all way around to West Nashville or the Negro Normal School. So if the spreading out was continued it would be necessary to cross the river where it would become necessary again for a white community to be disturbed who are living peacefully in their country cottages. The opinion seems to prevail that Nashville owes to her Negro colleges easily one hundred thousand dollars, and it was brought out by Dr. Hub- (Continued on Page 4.) Knights of Pythias, Eh?

All felt that St. Peter ladies would do their full share in raising the amount asked for. Mr. Courtland Hickman entertained the assembly with some of his beautiful playing on the piano. A lovely menu was served at the conclusion of the program. The union revival service began at St. Peter last Monday night and the prospect is good for a great meeting. Quarterly meeting was held at Wesley Chapel C. M. E. Church last Sunday. Presiding Elder Polk preached two eecient sermons morning and evening. Union communion service was held at 3 o'clock, at which time Dr. Graham, of St. Peter, and Dr. Buckner, of St. Paul, with their congregations were present. After a fervent prayer by Dr. Graham, Dr. Buckner preached a great sermon. 103 persons communed and we are glad to see the brotherly feeling existing between these pastors. It means much to the people of the city. Presiding Elder Polk and Rev. Coleman are full of smiles over the financial results. Our church is heartily interested in the union revival. SAD KILLING Our community was shocked last Thursday by the news that Theodore Polk, son of John Polk, of Glenn avenue, had been killed by his allymate, Theophilus Roberts, of Commerce street. Both of the boys were about twelve years of age, and at the time of the tragedy, were just returning from school. The Roberts boy had secured his father's revolver, and was fooling with it at the gate of his home, when in some way it was discharged. The ball entered just below the left eye of the Polk boy, penetrating the brain. He lived but a short while and never spoke. The funeral of little Theodore was held at Fifth Ward Baptist Church on Saturday. The lesson is a sad one to parents about having fire arms where the boys can get them. These two families were the best of friends and are now plunged into the greatest sorrow, and the blame is not all on the boys. SMYRNA NOTES The friends of Mr. James Butler were grieved to hear of his death which occurred in Nashville Friday. The Mt. Zion Baptist Sunday-School had its election Sunday.

Boyd President of the One-Cent Savings Bank, Delivered to Stockholders Monday Night. To the Vice-President and Stockholders of the One-Cent Savings Bank, Gentlemen and Ladies: I come before you this evening with a mixed or threefold anxiety. First I congratulate myself because of the confidence your Board of Directors has seen fit to unanimously impose in me over my protest for nine consecutive years. I have insisted that these great honors—and I consider them honors—should be passed around among our brother directors. I feel that some one of our younger men ought to share these honors, if they are honors; if a burden, and my friends, it is a burden, then someone ought to help bear the burden. But the honors are such that my sense of gratitude, both to the Directors and Stockholders, is so penetrating that I forget the burden, the labors, and the responsibilities. I am so overwhelmed with joy that my associates should so confide in me to force me to walk in the lead in the responsibilities of this great institution that "my burden is light and my yoke is easy," and the memories of the nine years of labor are reminiscences of sweet dreams of the past. Therefore, I congratulate myself that I am permitted to give an account of another year's stewardship. I further congratulate and thank you for surrounding me with a board of directors such as the gentlemen you elected one year ago and placed in your institution. The men of integrity, ability and statesmanship are financiers, advisors and deep thinkers, whose reputation in this community stands out boldly and is synonymous with honesty, integrity, truth and stability. Surrounded by such gentlemen as these I could not have erred if I had tried. I further congratulate myself and thank the Board of Directors for associating me with such honorable, energetic keen-sighted, untiring officers as the two Vice-Presidents, the Cashier and Assistant Cashier, the Chairman of the Executive Committee and his four associates each of whom has been first loyal and co-operative honest and aggressive, diligent and accurate in all of their proceedings to such an extent that my work has been pleasant and a labor of love. So pleasant have been my surroundings and so accurate have been our books, dealings and transactions, so deep and careful has been the legal advisor that it has been with assurance I have been able to say at the close of each day's labor: "I know our institution is safe." I have felt ready every morning when the door were thrown open and the vaults unlocked to say with assurance to every depositor and to every stockholder. "Your accounts are correct, your money is safe and your interests have and will be thoroughly guarded." Next I congratulate the stockholders of the One-Cent Savings Bank for the nine years steady, rapid progress your institution has made. You will remember, gentlemen, and ladies, that it was on the morning of the 16th of January, 1904, at half-past 9 o'clock, that the doors of the One-Cent Savings Bank were thrown open inviting the Negro population of Middle Tennessee in general and the Negro citizens of Nashville in particular to bring hither their hard-earned and scanty savings and entrust them to the care and keeping of this institution. It was on that morning that the Directors and Stockholders assembled in this bank building and after imploring the divine guidance of the Allwise Supreme Deity to guide our feeble financial bark over the turbulent seas of American financial competition, counted our little paludp capital stock, amounting in round numbers to $1,600, and threw open our books under the name of One-Cent Savings Bank. We meant by this name to say that there was no deposit too small, no person too humble, no walk of life who go unnoticed, for the officials of this institution to pay special heed to. Each of the official servants made up his mind to be polite, affable and accommodative to every comer regardless to his or her station, position or walk in life. The child with his dimes and nickels, the common laborer with his quarters and dollars, and the commercial man with his hundreds and thousands should all receive the same attention. Our Motto was: "First come, first served." We held ourselves out as a bureau of financial information. Ask us what you please and you shall receive an answer. Inexperienced as we were many times we had to give a very wise answer: "We don't know." For this was the wisest and most truthful answer we could give. For indeed, if all we did not know had been written in one book it would have made a great encyclopedia; but if what we did know had been written a visiting card would have been sufficient space on which to form the composition. Well, we are here to-night to congratulate each other and to talk of the pleasant past and to allow you to look over our year's work, report our stewardship, hand out to you our accumulations, and like the parable of old, we are almost ready to say: 'I ord. Behold! thou hast delivered unto us two talents; we have traded with the same, and have gained another two besides them." And we in turn are hoping as directors you may say: "Well done good and faithful servants, thou hast been faithful over a few things, have dominion over many things." I shall not go into the minute detail of financial transactions or financial dealings. I shall leave this part of the report to the Cashier who is the direct custodian of the vaults and in whose keeping the treasures of this institution have been entrusted. We, the directors, have had unshaken faith in the officials, in their integrity, honesty and financial ability; but for your benefit as stockholders and for the benefit of the many hundreds of depositors we have shielded our faith with substantial guaranteed bonds, requiring each of these officials who are the custodians of our treasures to give us sufficient guaranteed bonds to indemnify us if in case of an unguarded moment their foot should slip we can call upon another to make good their losses. Our Directors have not at all times been as punctual in attending meetings as some have thought they ought to have been. But you must take into consideration, gentlemen, that every director elected by you is a man of affairs, and their duties are named "legions" because they are many. However, they have come at the call of the President and have rendered the assistance, in their judgment, that was needed in the way of advice and co-operation. Your Board of Directors has seen fit during the year to make some few needed amendments to the by-laws, some little changes in the management, attempting thereby to throw around the institution better and greater safeguards. They are amendments and changes that experience has taught us were a necessity. We have made some investments. Some of us think they were wise and profitable investments. There are those, however, who may think they were otherwise. Be that as it will or may, we have done what we could. You will notice when you see the Cashier's report that we have enlarged a little on our investments, our loans and discounts; but we have kept a strict eye to the needs of the depositor and have held ourselves in readiness to meet the demands of every depositor at a moment's notice. There are those who think and say, first, that money or loans at the One-Cent Savings Bank ought not be so exacting in their security or collateral for the borrower to obtain money. But gentlemen, we would rather endure these criticisms than to cringe under worse criticism, and the most fearful of all would be that the depositor wants his money and cannot get it because the officials in making loans easy have not safeguarded money entrusted to them. Financial Stability of the Institution. Financial Stability of the Institution. Gentleman: I want to again remind you that it was the firm understanding with the Directors at the beginning of this institution that the One-Cent Savings Bank was not launched as a money-making institution, nor was it intended to prepare employment with large salaries for its officers. I suppose there is not a banking institution in the United States, of any nationality, that has handled the same amount of money, that had to pass through the hands of its officials, with the small expense with which the affairs of the One-Cent Savings Bank have been conducted for the past nine years of its existence. Neither was the One-Cent Savings Bank inaugurated as a pawnshop or loan office for the purpose of grafting the hard-earned and scanty accumulations of the thousands of wage-earners thereby collecting from them from 50 to 100 per cent on short loans. Your Directors and Officials have refused to loan money except upon the best guilt-edge securities. When these securities have been furnished the officials have endeavored to furnish to the wage-earner, the professional man and the commercial man with the needed money upon the same terms and for the smallest amount of interest possible so that the borrower could get value received for the interest paid. Economical Management. By the economical management of this institution we have been able from small interest charged on money handled to make a steady, gradual increase in our undivided dividends, surplus and reserve fund, and at the same time, pay a stipulated annual dividend to each stockholder. If we could have had more capital with which to work we could have brought you greater rewards. A great deal of the accumulated undivided dividends, surplus and sinking fund is the accumulation of the funds that other institutions have paid out in salaries to their officers. We have not stinted or been unusually stingy with such officers as had to give their entire time to the work of this banking institution. For we feel that the salaries paid to our Assistant Cashier and his teller have reached the point where they are commensurate with the work done and in keeping with the salaries paid for like serv- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1913. ices by similar institutions. However, to the higher officials, unlike other institutions, we have given them honor for their ability and praise for their influence and have struck a balance with them at the end of the year, thereby exchanging commodities with them and leaving the money in the vaults to the credit of the stockholders. Standing of the One-Cent Savings Bank. Gentlemen: I want to again remind you that the One-Cent Savings Bank is the oldest and first banking institution in the state of Tennessee organized, inaugurated or managed by Negro stockholders, a Negro Board of Directors and Negro officials, inaugurated, as we have continually reported, for an expressed threefold purpose. First, to encourage and instruct Negro wage earners in frugality and the art of saving. Secondly, to instruct and encourage Negroes in the art of financiering and accurate and punctual financial dealings. Third and last, but by no means least, to cultivate confidence and self-reliance with Negroes among Negroes. Some of the older citizens still living remember and often refer to the lamented calamity of the so-called Freedmen's Savings Bank. They have transmitted this lamented tradition to their children. And for years and years throughout the length and breadth of the State of Tennessee, and many other parts of the South, whenever a Negro banking institution was referred to the cry was always raised by them, like the proverbial Texan against the Mexican: "Remember the Alamo, remember Goliad" or like the old Negro, Union Soldiers when in battle, the battle-cry would be: "Remember Ft. Waggoner, remember Ft. Pillar." In the same way they would answer the promoters of Negro banking institutions: "Remember the Freedmen's Bank." Gentlemen and ladies. I believe the history of the Freedmen's Bank should be constantly repeated until the children of the old ex-slaves, who placed their earnings in this savings bank should be continually told among them until everyone should be familiar with the facts in the case. It goes out to the world that the Freedmen's Saving Bank was a banking institution organized, manned and operated by Negroes, but the truth is just the reverse. The Negroes practically had nothing to do with this bank except to carry up their little hard-earned savings and deposit same with this institution and bid it a final farewell. True, when the white promoters and operators of this banking institution saw that destruction and financial desolation stared the institution in the face, they hastened to call that noble statesman, Fredrick Douglass, to its presidency, hoping thereby that he would snatch victory from defeat, bring safety of chaos or be the scapegoat to bear off their sins. It is to be regretted that this was the case, but like all other profitable wisdom, the Negroes paid dearly for their wisdom, but they have greatly profited by the experience obtained. Hence, Negro banking institutions all over the South have been very careful how they have allowed white officials to mingle in their affairs. The One-Cent Savings Bank could to-morrow sell every dollar's worth of its stock and could obtain thousands, if not millions of dollars, a sufficient amount anyhow to meet the needs of its many customers that it is often compelled to turn away, if it would but pull down the bars and welcome the able and experienced financiers and designing grafters to plunge in and take the lion's share of this struggling institution. But like the lean wolf on the early New England forests told in Aesop Fables: "We may be lean we may be impoverished, we may be weak, but we will at least be free. Now gentlemen, I have dwelt long in glittering generalities. Let us come at once to the progress of the institution. Progress of the Institution. The progress of the One-Cont Savings Bank has, in my way of seeing it, proven to be a steady, gradual and yet a healthy growth. It has and is filling the mission for which it was brought into being. I repeat, it threw open its doors on the 16th day of January, 1904, with $1,600 paid in by sixteen earnest stockholders putting up in cash one hundred dollars each. With this small amount we held our doors open. We paid the small rent of $25 per month for a banking house. We paid one official, the teller, $25 per month for his services. Each officer with trembling hands and longing eyes watched the deposits and the checks with anxiety. They counted their figures, they watched every transaction, they prayed over every investment, they doubly surrounded every deposit with security, they asked nobody to risk them, they did practically no advertising, they used practically no influence to have any person deposit money with them, they made no efforts to sell their stock. Their one watchword and motto was continuously repeated: "Confidence! Con idence! Confidence! We want the confidence of the Negro population of Middle Tennessee in general and the Negro citizens of Nashville in particular." However, at the close of that year, when the financial footings had been made, we found to our delight that during the year 1904 we had been entrusted by depositors to handle $110,000. Wild with this delight we congratulated ourselves and congratulated you. We reassured you that your money was safe. We started out for the next stretch of twelve months, at the expiration of which, on December 31, 1905, found that the depositors had entrusted us with $512,000 in round numbers, an increase of $200,000 over the past year. Our paid-up capital amounted then to only about $2,500. Our rents, taxes and services had all been paid. We had a healthy undivided dividend passed over to the sinking fund. We then felt that the time had come to begin slowly and modestly to say to the world that Negro Banking can be done in safety if the right men are placed at the helm. However, we have never allowed ourselves to become drunken upon the success or prosperity made. We congratulate you upon the few changes you have made in the Board of Directors. We congratulate the Directors upon the few changes they have made in officials. But the question would be asked 'What have you done in the way of stimulating confidence?' We say that the One-Cent Savings Bank, the mother of Negro banks in Tennessee, has so enlarged its borders, so inspired the confidence of the people that to-day Tennessee instead of having one small weakling in the form of a little penny banking institution, has five healthy Negro Banks within its borders, three of which have double the authorized capital as that displayed at the maskhead of the One-Cent Savings Bank. Besides this we have encouraged Negroes to place confidence in Negro banking institutions. One by one the directors began to change a small part of their business from white banking institutions to this Negro banking institution. Following this the stockholders began to gain confidence and began to move small portions of their holdings to this first Negro bank. As a proof of this I want to give you the clearings or amount of money handled in safety by this banking institution in the last five years, beginning in 1908 and running up to and including 1912, as follows: including 1912, as follows. 1908 ..... $663,948.25 1909 ..... 774,076.55 1910 ..... 752,053.10 1911 ..... 777,532.07 1912 ..... 822,968.97 Total ..... $3,800,568.94 It will be seen from a glance at these figures that the Negro citizens of Nashville from every walk of life have deposited with and entrusted to the handling of the officers of this institution nearly four million dollars in five years. When other banking institutions began to organize and throw open their doors the pessimists began by crying out that the Negroes had begun to divide and would thereby lose confidence and destroy each other. However, there were those optimists who said "Competition is the life of trade." And those of us who had had some years of experience were aware of the fact that there were hundreds—yea thousands, of Negroes in Nashville (and we regret to say educated Negroes, the so-called leading Negroes or big Negroes) who were pessimistic and not dare trust a dime of their accumulations in the hands of the Negro Banking Institutions. I know of, gentlemen, Negro men of ability, men with whom I associate and in whom I place the greatest confidence and men who I thought ought to confide in me—there were many reasons why they should have confided in me—and yet, these gentlemen, up to 1910, had never entrusted one dollar of their money in a Negro banking institution and had never invested one dime in the stock of such institutions. In 1910 a few gentlemen, some of whom were associated with us as directors, thought the officers of the One-Cent Savings Bank were too exacting in their guilt-edge securities and made money a little too hard for borrowers to obtain, conceived the bank for organizing another bank. There were those who began to offer criticism; but the President of the One-Cent Savings Bank said in an open Directors' meeting: "We invite competition, it will not hinder but help." The year that our daughter, the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company, threw its doors with an authorized capital of $50,000, the One-Cent Savings Bank did fall slightly in its business, as may be seen again by referring to the above figures of 1910. It dropped off that year from a total clearing of $774,076.55 to $752,053.10, making a fall-off of $22,023.46. Pessimists among us, or alarmists, were ready to take to the timbers, but those of us who had thoroughly gotten our bearing said "this was to be expected." The next year, 1911, we regained the lost busi ness and forged ahead $24,478.97 greater than we had ever done before; and in this, our banner year, we have handled $45,436.90 more than we have ever handled in any previous year. Thus you can see that the old adage is still true: "Competition is the life of trade." By having two banking institutions in the city they have brought in that weak-fathed brother who could not trust his money heretofore with Negroes, and who has placed his money and taken pary by buying stock and helped the other bank. His confidence increased the confidence of the other weak-minded brother and he came to the One-Cent Savings Bank and thereby the One-Cent Savings Bank was the beneficiary and got its share of the Negro banking business. I want to right here recall some prophesies I made to you at our second annual meeting. I made use of the following paragraph in my report that year: "I regret to say, yet I must give it as my opinion from a careful observation, that the One-Cent Savings Bank has not handled 20 percent of the banking business that the Negro citizens of Nashville handle any one year since its existence. If this be true, and the pages of our ledger may be taken as an index, the Negro citizens of Nashville handle more than $2,500,000 annually through banking institutions." The One-Cent Savings Bank during 1512 lacked only a fraction of handling a million dollars of Negro money through its banking operations. If the People's Savings Band and Trust Company handled an equal amount, and we are to presume that they handled more, for they have a larger amount of capital stock, you can see that my prophecy of six years ago was fully warranted. And now I predict that the time is not very far in the future when Negro banking institutions of Nashville alone will show bank clearings from the Negro citizens of Nashville of from two and a half to three million dollars annually. The following is the year's business of the One-Cent Savings Bank for the year ending December 31, 1912:. Moneys Handled by the One-Cent Savings Bank During Year 1912. January, Deposits, $30,094.95; Checks, $36,092.89; Total for January, $66,187.84; February; Deposits, $22,814.65; Checks, $23,731.11; total, $46,454.76; March; Deposits, $40,337.56; Checks, $33,494.47; total, $73,823.02; April, Deposits, $33,601.95; Checks, $43,031.25; total, $76,633.20; May; Deposits, $28,499.55; Deposits, $29,071.49; total, $75,754.04; June; Deposits, $40,171.02; Checks, $31,087.87; total, $71,258.89; July; Deposits, $38,373.08; Checks, $40,455.28; total, $78,828.36; August; Deposits, $25,741.93; Checks, $34,122.59; total, $59,864.58; September; Deposits, $47,460.21; Checks, $34,918.88; total, $82,379.09; October; Deposits, $77,170.77; Checks, $40,141.28; total, $77,312.05; November; Deposits, $20,147.55; Checks, $33,94.49; total, $64,088.04; December; Deposits, $37,927.34; Checks, $30,62.05; total, $68,548.39; Deposits Grand total, $142,310.62; Checks, total $410,708.68; Grand total, $832,019.27; Certificates of Deposit issue $7,662.35; Certificates of Deposit with drawn, $2,287.35; total, $9,949.70 Grand total, $832,969.97 In the Cashier's sworn statement o the bank examiner or Compriller of the Treasury, he showed that we had cash resources of something over $69,000. But you will understand, gentlemen, that this banking institution has never counted in any of its banking fixtures which are indeed very valuable and are a part of the assets. While we paid $12,500 for the Brown Building, and would not think of selling it to-day for $14,000, the Cashier in order to show his accounts as modestly as possible, put it in at $5,000. He had reasons for this and it is not necessary here to discuss that. The Directors have made arrangements by which these will be counted in also all stock that has been sold and interest-bearing notes that have been given will also be counted with our general capital stock. Therefore, I can say to you that the resources or assets are to-day about $80,000. Hence the little $1600 in 1904 has grown up to $80,000 in 1913, and the people who trusted us with thousands then have trusted us since with millions. Gentlemen, in closing my remarks, permit me to state, that I have not given the time to the bank that I should give. The reasons are that this is one of the five financial and business institutions that I have the honor of presiding over and to become responsible for their financial sallings. I close by saying to you that my labor in all has been a labor of love, and I think the Cashier will say to you that I have got my first postal stamp to draw from this institution even to carry on its correspondence. My nine-year work has been for the confidence of my Negro fellow-citizens in general and the benefit of the stockholders in particular. I now bear that you continue to trust this Board of Directors and make as few changes as possible. The Cashier after making his report will hand or mall to each stockholder his dividend check to be paid in casil. ANNUAL BANQUET OF THE Y. L. L. C. One of the most enjoyable festivities of the Yuletide season was the very elaborate banquet of the Y. L. L. C. given at the spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Rhodes, Friday evening, January 3, 1913. Promptly at 8 o'clock the young people began to assemble. The young ladies in fairy-like gowns and the young men in full dress suits, amid dazzling lights, presented a scene of beauty and one long to be remembered. The house was profusely decorated suggestive of the yuletide spirit, with the club colors, pink and green, and smilax, Jackson vine and pink and white carnations were used, and the flowers carried by the young ladies added their fragrance in abundance. The following program was begun at 9:30 o'clock: music, piano solo, Miss Florence Ira Watson; remarks, president; selection—Viola, Dr. J. Carolus Gill; vocal solo, Mr. E. R. McLean; select reading, Miss E. Louise Cornet; quartette, selected, Y. M. L. C.; selection cornet, Dr. E. A. Martin; gazette, Miss W. Toy Cockrill; quartet, Y. L. L. C. After the program was completed games and dancing were enjoyed until 12 o'clock, when the merry party was ushered into the dining-room, which was a bower of loveliness. The table was covered with snow-white Mexican drawn damask and held as its central ornament a huge basket of fruit entwined with Jackson vine and smilax studded here and there with carnations and a large bow of pink and green satin ribbon hung from the handle. The place cards were souvenir post card groups of the young ladies of the Y. L. L. C. Those seated around the table were: Misses Elmora Beaden, Harriet P. Page, Florence Watson, Bessie Cockrill, Eva Cofler, Laura Coleman, Estelle Shoffner, Ella Cockrill, E. Louise Morrison, Bessie Rhodes, Alberta Smith, Flora Caraway, Willie Cockrill, Drs. H.

IN KIND REMEMBRANCE OF LOV ING FATHER George Washington Davis departed this life January 14, 1912. at 1:06 o'clock p. m. Since he has departed this life many whom I thought would prove a friend have turned away their faces as much as to say "Depart from me," but I wish to say to the friends that stood by me in that sad hour I still have that tender feeling for you. It was my loss but I am sure it was heaven's gain. Flowers may fade away, but your kindness shall never be forgotten. "Sleep on dear father, sleep on. Sleep on and take your rest. When I shall have finished my task here, I'll join the band with you and mother over there." "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Your loving son. GEO. S.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1913. Paying Poll Tax. A bill has been introduced in the Legislature to require the payment of Poll Taxes two years preceding an election. No objection could be found with such a law. Every man ought to pay his own Poll Tax, and he will if he is a real man. It should make little difference when the tax is paid, and this arrangement would break up the practice of paying Poll Taxes on election day when hundreds of men who are able to pay their own tax are standing around the polls looking like they want somebody to ask them a question. If the bill does become a law Negro voters must not neglect their duty as citizens. The privilege of voting is the highest gift of a nation, and that man who abuses that gift is not worthy of citizenship. The Banner thinks too much publicity is given to Jack Johnson's escapades. We agree, but we find our house made of glass also. Munsey's Statement. Mr. Munsey, publisher of a magazine and a chain of newspapers in the East, and a big Bull Moose high up in the council of the National Progressive party, is quoted as having made the following statement: "The name Republican has not been accepted in the South in a half century, and would not be accepted in a half century to come. The prejudice there is too deep-rooted—prejudice both because of the memories of the Civil War, and because since the war the party has failed to get a footing in the Southern states as a white man's party. No party can live and be a useful political instrument in the South except it be a white man's party." There is no need of alarm over Mr. Munsey's views; he is just one man, and a very little man at that. No political party can succeed in this country that sets out to bar the irrepressable black. The Democratic party tried it, but there was nothing doing until Mr. Woodrow Wilson let it be known that if elected he would treat all men just. It is foolish to consider the Negro a menace to political success, and on the other hand it has been proven to be the better part of wisdom to consider him a potent factor. As we go to press the senatorial contest is warming up for the final dash. Here's hoping a good man wins. Discipline Made by Negroes The A. M. E. Sunday School Union publishing house, in our home village, will in a few days give to the Methodists of that branch the first Discipline ever printed and bound in a printing office operated by that Church. This discipline will be made from start to finish by Negroes. Mr. Bryant merits the highest praise from his Church and the race for this splendid achievement. A copy of the second issue of "The South Bend Observer" has been received at this office. The sheet is likely in appearance, and has that literary tone that insures an appreciation of the reading public. Speaking of irrepressables brings to mind that the big corporations' investigation could not be completed without the Negro. Mr. Winkfield and Lawyer Stewart are right in the illmellight now. The Tennessee Colored State Fair Association is having a hard time trying to dissolve. This looks like strength in division or once. SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION The Nashville Baptist Sunday School Union will meet at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, January 26th, at 3 o'clock for the purpose of electing officers and arranging the program for the regular monthly meeting to be held on the second Sunday in next month. We hope all the Sunday-schools connected with the Union will be represented at this meeting. Editorial Clippings. NEGRO PROGRESS IN FIFTY YEARS. During the past fifty years there has been a rapid increase in the wealth of the Negroes of the South. This increase has been especially marked in the past ten years, during which time the value of the domestic animals which they own increased from $85,216,337 to $177,728,785, or 107 per cent; poultry to $3,788,792 to $5,113,756, or 35 per cent; implements and machinery from $18,586,225 to $367,831,118, or 98 per cent; land and buildings from $69,636,420 to $273,501,665, or 293 per cent. From 1900 to 1910 the total value of farm property owned by the colored farmers of the South increased from $177,404,688 to $492,898,218, or 117 per cent. In 1863, the total wealth of the Negroes of this country was about $20,000,000. Now the total wealth is over $700,000,000. No other emancipated people have made so great a progress in so short a time. The Russian serfs were emancipated in 1861. Fifty years after, it was found that 14,000,000 of them had accumulated about $500,000,000 worth of property or about $36 per capita, an average of $200 per family. Fifty years after their emancipation only about 30 per cent of the Russian peasants were able to read and write. After fifty years of freedom the ten million Negroes in the United States have accumulated over $700,000,000 worth of property, or about $70 per capita, which is an average of $250 per family. After fifty years of freedom 70 per cent of them have some education in books. —Southern Workman. MORE NEGROES THAN WHITES IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Every year as the reports of the various county superintendents are made to the State Superintendent of Education by whom they are compiled, the newspapers make much of the above headlines. It is true that more Negro children are "going" to school than whites but only for the reason that there are many more Negroes to go. The majority of the Negro children are just about "going" to school and that's about all. That this is true is easily seen by the following data given by the State Superintendent of Education: Amount spent per capita for Negroes $1.98. The highest expenditure per capita was in Charleston county and that was only $6.96. The lowest which was almost nothing was in Saluda county, only 92 cents. Really a state which professes belief (theoretically at least) in Negro education ought to be ashamed for such figures to be known. No would be politicians ought talk about spending the white taxpayer's money for Negroes any more with such a showing. For if the Negroes are not paying for their own education according to these figures, then the colored citizens of this state are certainly a poverty-ridden set, likes of which cannot be found in any other state of the Union—South Indicator. BACK TO THE SOUL One of the marked educational tendencies of the present is the general effort to carry to the farmers the information needed in each particular locality. To accomplish this important purpose the nation, the state and now the counties are appropriating the money necessary to secure the services of experts in the line of this special work. The average farmer, whether white or black will be benefited when the proposed school of instruction has been fully established. The high cost of living due mainly to the increase in population without corresponding increase in the amount of farm products has forced an earnest consideration of the steps necessary to supply the increased demand. In this country we are blessed with the acreage, the soil, the climate and the market and there is no reason why all farmers will not avail themselves of the contemplated opportunity to ascertain in what particular directions their efforts should be directed in order to secure the very best results. In nearly every county of this state, there are Negro farmers and when the expert is in their locality they should seek every advantage that his instructions offer. We are informed that Prof. N. C. Bruce, the president of the Barlett Agricultural and Industrial Institute will hold a conference at Dalton, Missouri, or January 10th and 11th. Every person interested in the welfare of the race should lend his aid to make the meeting a success. Prof. Bruce is giving to the students of Bartlett Institute in an ocular demonstration or what may be accomplished by well directed and intelligent effort—The Home Protective Record. INAUGURAL PUBLIC COMFORT COMMITTEE ORGANIZED Special to the Globe. Washington, D. C., Jan. 13.—The Sub-Committee on Public Comfort to supervise the arrangements for the participation of the colored citizens of the country in the inaugural ceremonies of President-elect Wilson has been organized, with A. H. Underwood as chairman; L. C. Moore, first vice chairman; R. W. Thompson, second vice chairman; John H. Cook, treasurer; George H. Murray, secretary, and W. L. Offord, clerk. The temporary headquarters at 1742 Fourth street have been abandoned and permanent offices have been finally fitted up in Room A and annex in the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., where an "open door" will be maintained for all who have any word of information for the committee or who wish to take advantage of what the committee has to offer. Visitors to the city are tendered an especial invitation to call. If there have been any "factions" in the inaugural work, they have been effectually obliterated and harmony is the watchword from now until the 4th of March. Steps are being taken to have Convention hall put into first-class shape for the inaugural ball, and the subcommittees that will look after the various features of the great parade are being marshalled into action. For grand marshal of the colored division Messrs. W. T. Ferguson, W. H. Harris, A. B. Cosey and others are said to be under consideration. Homes for visitors are being carefully listed and there is no doubt that there will be ample accommodations for all. Staff officers for the various states are to be appointed within the fewest of days, so everybody will know just what is expected of them. The press committee will keep the country in touch with the committee and its labors. The largest crowd in the history of inaugurations is expected here in March. NEGROES ARE WELL DEVIDED. (Contiued from Page 1. bard Sunday afternoon that these Negro colleges spend with the merchants of Nashville annually more than one hundred thousand dollars. It is believed that the campaign will be successful and that the people of Nashville will contribute liberally with the understanding that the money is to be used for the colleges and universities, but that the colored citizenship of the city will not be expected to break up their homes in the several parts of the city and all segregate in northwest Nashville. PRESS ASSOCIATION GOES TO PHILADELPHIA. Washington, D. C., Jan. 14.—In response to the insistent demands of the newspaper fraternity of the City of Brotherly Love, the officers of the National Negro Press Association have agreed to change the call for the meeting February 1 from Washington to Philadelphia. As the national convention of the Association is to meet there next August, this preliminary conference will give the brethren a chance to become better acquainted, and in a heart-to-heart exchange of views, a clearer line can be obtained touching the plans and purposes of the organization. It is understood that the local arrangements are in the hands of Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, and Pennsylvania's member of the executive committee of the Association. The meeting will be called to order at 2 p. m. on Saturday, February 1, thus allowing the editors from Baltimore, Washington, New York and other neighboring points ample time to wind up their business for the day and reach the place at the hour named. President R. W. Thompson, Chairman N. B. Dodson, Secretary Henry Allen Boyd, together with a contingent representing many of our best journals, will be on hand. It is expected that the establishment of a national news bureau, standardization of advertising, methods for in crease of circulation and changes in the officiary will be among the important matt etsrobo of-UOW- yvbgkant matters to be discussed. Phila delphia promises to give the newspaper per men a warm reception, and the at tendance should be large. NEGRO BOARD OF TRADE CONDUCTS CAMPAIGN—HIGH WATER VICTIMS A mass-meeting is to be held Friday night at the rooms of the Negro Board of Trade to formally launch the movement to raise a fund among the colored citizens to be used for the benefit of victims of high waters, many of whom, it is understood, are greatly in need of assistance, and who will necessarily be without permanent living quarters for several weeks to come. The Executive Committee of the Negro Board of Trade took up the question of aiding the flood sufferers at a meeting held last Tuesday night and decided upon this movement. Already a number of subscriptions to the fund being raised by the Board have been made, an official record of which is being kept by the secretary of the Board of Trade. A number of reliable solicitors for funds have also been appointed who are making a personal canvass and it is hoped that the efforts that are being put forward in this direction will serve to greatly benefit many of these rendered helpless because of the high waters. The Negro Board of Trade will be glad to have the co-operation of all charitable and other organizations in To the boy or girl, between ten and fifteen years of age, who secures the greatest number of adult votes using this coupon as a ticket.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE. In the statement of the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust Company published in this paper January 3, 1913, two omissions were made that threw the accounts out of balance of over $10,000. The statement is published here again to correct those errors. STATEMENT PEOPLES SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST CO. Frank Dibrell, Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 31, 1912.

Continued from page 1.) to permit all nurses who stood an examination to wear the tile of Registered Nurse. As soon as the Board organized it arbitrarily refused to examine or license any colored nurse, whatever her qualifications might be. No other professional organization had ever denied professional rights to Negro citizens of Tennessee. The evident injustice of this action is illustrated by the fact that there is an institution here in Nashville which trains colored nurses and does it well. These young colored women should be given encouragement by the State to acquire proficiency in their honored profession, and should not be denied equality before the law on account of race or color. The statute required no social equality between white and black nurses, nor did it compel anybody to employ a Negro nurse who wanted a white one. It must also be remembered that the good health of the white race depends upon that of the Negro race, living in the same communities as they do, and it is to the interest of all the people that the Negroes enjoy the best medical attention possible. I, therefore, recommend that the Legislature amend the law in such manner as may be necessary to guarantee to Negro nurses such consideration, rights and privileges as their qualifications and acquirements may entitle them to. Appropriations. It is apparent from the foregoing message that the State has many departments, institutions and objects which merit its financial assistance, and a large number which absolutely demand it. The most difficult proposition with which the General Assembly will have to deal is the matter of appropriations. Many unworthy objects will seek to wheedle from the Legislature the gift of the people's money. Many deserving and proper objects will make requests which must be denied on account of the lack of funds. On the other hand, there are a large number of appropriations which must be made in order to continue the operations of the State government and maintain its honor and credit. It will be necessary for the Legislature to discriminate among all of these demands and make a wise 5th Ave., S. and Dembombreum 19th Ave., N. Kayne Ave. and Grand 12th Ave., N. and Jo Johnston economical and just use of the public funds. The things which the State needs done the worst can all be done, if we do not scatter our energies and resources. A Legislature can waste enough money on junkets, unnecessary employees and other legislative extravagancies to meet the expenses of a needy institution or a great department. It is very important for the Legislature not to delay the consideration of the appropriation bill until the last hurried and confused days of the session. This practice has cost the State dearly. I trust that the record of this General Assembly may be creditable to its members and the State. I bestek the co-operation of each individual Legislator, and assure him of my earnest sympathy and support in every movement that promises good for Tennessee. BEN W. HOOPER, Governor. City Items.

Rehearsals are going on daily for the production of "The White Lie," that will be presented at Meharry Auditorium on Friday, February 7, 1913. An exceptionally talented cast has been selected and the public is promised a rare treat. Mr. Wm. P. Saunders is sparing neither time nor money in seeing that this shall be the greatest of his productions. This treats of the struggles of the Negro in America. A very profound and instructive sermon was preached at Meharry Auditorium Sunday morning by Rev. Charles D. Bulla, Superintendent of the Wesley Adult Bible Class Department of the M. E. Church, South, to the students of the University and Meharry Medical College, together with a large number of the people from the city. Music was furnished by the University choir and Meharry Quartett. The text was taken from St. John 19:5: "Behold the man." The Y. M. C. A. of Meharry was very ably addressed Sunday afternoon by Rev. Preston Taylor, of Lea Avenue Christian Church, on "Gather up the Fragments That Nothing Be Lost." The members were greatly edified by the many useful truths elucidated. Musical selections by Roger Williams Quartette formed a marked feature of the service. Next Sunday Rev. Luke Mason, of the Primitive Baptist Church, will address the Association. A very pleasant function styled a "Supply Party" came off in the reception room of the Hubbard Hospital on Monday evening and yielded immense fun to those present. The nurses, who were the central figures of the occasion, competed with one another in the making of surgical necessities such as dressings, bandages, pads, etc. and several of them won prizes. This was exceedingly amusing to the young men—medical students—who were present, and many a hearty laugh was indulged in. Those present were Nurses Woodfolk, Lytle, Pugh, Boulware, Jones, Penn, Alston and Allen and Messrs B. E. Howell, W. A. Chapman, I. Turner, J. Hall, F. Willis and others. After the contests refreshments were served, consisting of sandwiches, ice cream, cake and several other delicacies. At the end all felt that a very enjoyable evening had been spent. Mr. W. P. Saunders, of the senior class of Meharry, will present his latest play, "The White Lle," early in the month of February. This is a discussion on the Negro problem, and the numerous friends of the young playwright are awaiting his latest efforts with great cagerness. STOCKHOLDERS OF ONE-CENT BANK.

C., Jan. 7.—Twice postponed the Beach case will be tried at the February term of General Sessions Court, which convenes on the first Monday in next month. The preparations being made for the trial completely undermine the theory that Frederick O. Beach would never be called to answer the charges brought against him by the Alken town authorities in connection with the murderous attack made on his wife in their yard here. At first all South Carolina was up in arms because it was at first alleged a colored man committed the foul assault. Mayor to Testify Against Beach. Mayor Gyles will be a material witness against Mr. Beach. It was the Mayor who secured from Mr. Beach pocket knife which, according to the gold-handied, diamond-studded prosecuting attorney, forced the last link in the chain of evidence against Mr. Beach that it was he and not a Negro who felled Mrs. Beach with a fence railing and slashed her pretty throat last February. Most of the witnesses are colored servants from the households of the Beaches and their friends, and as the evidence gathered by the detective is largely of a circumstantial nature, it is speculative whether or not the prosecuting attorney will be able to confirm it by their testimony. As to how Pearl Hampton, the colored maid, eye witness, who at first said a colored man did the deed, but later confessed perjuring herself, will testify, it cannot be said. A material witness will be a man whose identity is kept secret, who, hidden behind a bookcase in the Mayor's office, overheard a conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Beach when they thought they were alone. The prosecution will not attempt to use Mrs. Beach as a witness against her husband, but the State's attorney has said that if she is put on the stand by the defense, as she will very likely be, he will subject her to a severe cross-examination. CALLED TO CINGINNATI Mrs. Lyt Jones was suddenly called to her home in Cincinnati, Ohio, on account of the death of her brother, Mr. Walker Bryant who, after a week's illness of pneumonia, passed away.

The discourse was styled by the speaker as a New Year's Sermon, for he said that was the first preaching Sunday morning he had had this year; and in an eloquent and forceful manner he admonished his hearers to resolve to do all the good they can this year. He said, "I am sometimes called crazy, but I am not crazy. I am trying to awaken that dead man to activity that he may produce fruit in this year." The theme of the sermon was "The Tree That Bringeth Forth Not Good Fruit Shall Be Hewn Down."

Statistics are rather dry creatures and often are not to be served to the patrons of a newspaper too often, yet sometimes a little study in figures is not bad. The Star of Zion acknowledges the receipt of the North Carolina State Tax Commissioner's Report for 1912. From this able and exhaustive report we publish a few items which we believe will prove of special interest to our readers. Of the one hundred counties in the state there are fifty-one in which Negroes pay taxes on more than one quarter of a million dollars of real and personal property. In several other counties the amount is over two hundred thousand, but does not reach the quarter-million mark. Here are the fifty-one counties above referred to: Alamance 299,845 Anson 469,805 Beaufort 490,478 Bladen 462,521 Bertle 778,879 Brunswick 299,880 Chatham 350,111 Buncombe 419,285 Chowan 316,019 Columbus 496,818 Craven 832,188 Cumberland 585,861 Duplin 379,480 Durham 680,862 Edgcombe 563,349 Forsyth 538,230 Franklin 490,510 Gaston 250,926 Gates 278,882 Greenville 490,618 Guilford 582,893 Halifax 1,225,576 Harnett 263,849 Hertford 675,689 Hoke 292,931 Iredell 255,774 Johnston 515,762 Lenoir 296,750 Martin 472,672 Mecklenburg 731,099 Nash 596,774 New Hanover 686,987 Northhampton 720,288 Orange 271,686 Pasquotank 357,459 Pender 355,212 Perquimans 321,698 Person 265,693 Pitt 472,682 Richmond 286,294 Robeson 918,956 Rockingham 374,504 Rowan 422,516 Sampson 401,987 Scotland 270,603 Union 364,593 Vance 502,244 Wake 1,330,795 Warren 898,868 Wayne 599,371 Wilson 404,574 It will be noticed that Wake county heads the list with 1,330,795 while Halifax is a close second with $1,225,576. They are the only counties in the million dollar class. Several others are far up toward the mark, but do not quite reach it. Negroes own the largest amount of land in the following counties: Bertle, 61,414 acres; Halifax, 53,802 acres; Warren, 50,066 acres; Bladen, 48,463 acres; Wake, 40,096 acres; Columbus, 39,222 acres; Sampson, 39,267 acres; Pender, 37,438 acres; Northhampton, 36,142 cres; Craven, 36,092 acres, while there are eight other counties in which from twenty-five thousand to thirty-five thousand acres are owned by members of our race. In town lots Craven leads with 1,808; Wake next with 1,665; Forsyth, with 1,372; Mecklenburg with 1,345; Guilford with 967; Rowan, 853; Durham, 822; Feaufort with 811, Pasquotank, 746; New Hanover, 720. Other counties make a good showing this being especially true of Wilson with 669 and Rockingham with 528. In valuation of town lots Wake comes first with $521,989; Craven second with $20,095 and Mecklenburg third with $400,321. The Commission having made no grand total we have done so for the benefit of our readers and find that Negroes own 1,424,943 acres of land not counting town lots and pay taxes on a grand total of $29,982,328 of real and personal property. It should be known also that the rate of assessment is about forty per cent. This will indicate that Negroes own seventy million dollars of real and personal property in North Carolina. The report shows that in some counties, among them Madison, where the Negro population is small no separate list is given. There are a little less than a million Negroes in this state and the showing above mentioned is certainly a creditable one.—The Star of Zion. STATE NORMAL NOTES STATE NORMAL NOTES. The New Year finds the A. & I. State Normal School back to its daily routine of work, with the enrollment greatly increased. The accommodation of new students who are continually entering is an urgent matter that claims immediate attention. A large number of teachers from various counties in the state have entered the Teachers' Training Department.

Mrs. Bertha Taylor; who is teaching near McKenzie, attended the W. T. C. Association, which convened at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, near Carroll, January 2 and 3. Rev. Tom Tansil, of Sharon, will preach for Rev. C. H Ivle the first Sunday afternoon in February at 3 o'clock. We hope to have quite a large hearing, as Rev. Tansil is quite an interesting and practical gospel preacher. The Booster campaign issue of the Globe made quite a "hit" among our people. The K of P. and O. O. C. hvae already begun to feel its good influence. Do not borrow and borrow your neighbor's Globe. Be a man and read your own paper. Do not be a parasite. Read the Globe, then when you hear good things of your town and race in general you can witness. Don't be a "doubler." FRANKLIN NOTES Mrs. M. A.

News of the Men Who Make Newspapers: Compiled Under Direction of the National Negro Moved by the insistence of the race press in Philadelphia and in order to tget into closer touch with the forces that will have most to do with the success of the general convention next August, the meeting of the executive committee of the National Negro Press Association will be held in the Quaker City February 1, instead of at Washington, as previously announced. Every officer and member of the committee is requested to attend, or be represented by a properly authorized proxy. A branch of the National Negro Press Association is being organized in Washington. Last Saturday night a number of local press representatives got together and formed a temporary organization, with James C. Waters, Jr., as chairman and Samuel T. Henry, of Delaware, as secretary. Such local branches should be instituted wherever there is any number of newspaper workers. * * * W. F. Young, formerly of the Durham (N. C.)

The Melendez King, a well-known member of the District bar and whose public-spirit and capacity as a leader has been amply demonstrated during his long and useful career in this community. Mr. King is a product of the University of Michigan and of Howard University. He has been actively engaged in the practice of law in Washington since 1899, having his office throughout this entire period at 609 F street, northwest, where the headquarters of the Association are now established. He was special attorney for a number of years of the Order of Elks. He is also Grand Supreme Governor of the Knights of Malachites, an organization having objects similar to those of the National Civil Rights Association.

Va., which is now without a race journal for the first time in many years. --- Rev. J. Milton Waldron is taking steps to launch an independent race paper in Washington. A magnificent field and practically untouched. The District of Columbia offers a local clientage of 25,00 reaers—a conservative estimate for a population that easily runs over 100,00. and he has figured creditably in some of the most important legal battles ever fought at the bar of the District of Columbia. The other officers are well known men of affairs and their names are a testimonial of the lofty purposes of the organization for which the stand sponsor. They are: Wilson Wood, vice-president; T. O. Mason, secretary; J. T. Oatneal, chairman of the executive committee; and Daniel A. Ford, secretary of the executive committee. Under the Shibboleth of "Equal Rights to All," the Association has issued a declaration of principles, in which it points out that the Negro has done its full duty by the nation, and has largely assisted in developing the natural resources of the Republic As the corner-stone of the industrial and commercial system or many states, it is felt that the Negro has a claim to just treatment before the law and in working out his economic salvation with his hands and head. It is "up to the Negro," the Association asserts, to open the way toward civil freedom by taking the initiative in the form of a definite organization with a definite plan of action. "Who would be free, must himself first strike the blow!" Attention is called *at length* to the fact that the colored eople of the United States are being deprived of their civil and political rights. Outrage has followed outrage, practically unreubaked. The Negro is barred from hotels, theaters and other places of public accommodation. He NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1913 HENRY A. BOYD, Secretary Congress --- --- --- is "jim-crowed" in railroad trains and street cars in many sections of the land. It is the intention of the courts of the nation to its highest Association to carry through the tribunal test cases, contending that these jim-crow laws are unconstitutional and should be set aside. Opposition will be shown in every legitimate way of lynching, segregation, ill-treatment in prisons and on chain gangs and disfranchisement through illegal subterfuges. Everyp effort will be made to enforce the laws looking to the betterment of those of the race who engage in industrial and agricultural pursuits, and to secure fair and impartial trials to Negroes accused of crime. Washington is regarded as the logical place for the headquarters of such an uplifting organization, as here are located the President of the United States, the Supreme Court, and Congress, the great law-making body of the nation, and here the Negro should be guaranteed the fullest and fairest hearing and his rights under the federal laws should have the highest and most liberal interpretation. It is a Counsellor King's intention to bring suit after suit, involving the various phases of the race's status as a citizen and he is determined to establish at the earliest possible moment the exact position of the black man under the constitution, byp orderly dignified and effective methods, and to place the nation's court of last resort squarely on record with reference to the so-called "race problem." It is expected that a national convention of colored men will be called to meet here about the inauguration period, to outline a program in furtherance of the plans of the National Civil Rights Protective Association, as above summarized. Letters are being received daily by President King, assuring him of support, and local organizations are being formed terested in such a movement should in many communities. Those in get into correspondence with Mr King at once, addressing him at 909 F street, northwest, Washington, D.C. The officers report that the membership everywhere is growing with commendable rapidity. THE SOUTHERN WORKMAN The January issue of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) appears on the fifteenth anniversary of the proclamation of emancipation to the slaves. It contains a timely contribution by Monroe N. Work, of the Research Department of Tuskegee Institute, on Fifty Years of Negro Progress, which shows the wonderful advance, made by the Negro race in all lines of endeavor since emancipation. In sharp contrast to this is a short paper on The Negroes of Cuba, who are "blindly and ignorantly groping their way toward a betterment they know not how to attain." The extension of the Hampton system of education to a school in Salonica, Turkey, and to a proposed mission training colony in Ceylon is described in two interesting and suggestive articles. A paper with very remarkable illustrations describes the treasures of the Incas, an ancient Indian race of Peru. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Incas, an ancient Indian race of Peru. In somewhat lighter vein are an illustrated poem, "Unc' Jim's Signs," and an African folk-lore tale called "Katete." Efforts are now being made to improve health, conditions among the Indians and the recent conference of workers among the Sioux Indians is discussed editorially. Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock the Young Men's Christian Association will meet at the Majestic Theatre. Any one with an association message that will appeal to men will be given three minutes to deliver it. The members should take advantage of this opportunity to appeal to men generally in behalf of this noble work for men. An institution which prides itself as being an arm of the Christian church, reaching out for men. Men should be invited to attend religious services and they should respond to the invitation, but should they fail to do so—and they do—there should be devised some scheme by which they could not avoid hearing occasionally a gospel message—the good news. Meet promptly at 3 o'clock and close promptly at 4. Prof. H. L. Keith, Supervisor of Manual Training of Public School and chairman of the Committee of Management, will lead the meeting. The room will be warm. "JIM CROW" CAR CASE BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT. . . Washington, Jan. 14.—Probably the most novel "Jim crow" car case ever before the supreme court of the United States reached it today when the Alabama & Vicksburg Railroad Company filed an appeal from the verdict of the Mississippi court which awarded Miss Pearl Morris $15,000 for distress of mind and body caused by being required to occupy a berth in a Pullman car in which three Negro men occupied berths. The supreme court of Mississippi reduced the damages to $2,000. Miss Morris boarded the train and upon entering the Pullman she observed the presence of three Negro men. She at once demanded separate accommodations, which were refused. The case may serve as a precedent in case of affirmance as to state "Jim crow" laws securing separate accommodations on passenger trains means that separate Pulman cars must be furnished as well as separate "passenger" cars ODDEELLOW MEETING The tri-monthly meeting of the G. U. of O. F. which are held in various portions of the city, were highly entertained on Monday night, December 30th, by Trimble City Lodge No. 3448 and Naomi Household No. 2011 at their hall on East Hill street, South Nashville. Rev. Presmon Taylor is president and Brother B. G. Bryant and Mrs. E. A. Cullom are secretaries. The meeting Monday night was largely attended, there being representatives from each lodge, Ruth and Juvenile. The reports of the various bodes showed an increase both numerically and financially. Every repre --- sensitive pledged himself to try to make this the banner year for Odd Fellowship. A vigorous campaign is on to have 10,000 Odd Fellows in Nashville by July 1st, and from present indications they are gaining. Much good has resulted from these tri-monthly meetings. It has brought about a stronger tie of brotherly and sisterly love in our midst. The next meeting will be March 27th with the lodges and ruths at Odd Fellow Hall. A three-course menu was served by the committee. Rebecca Household of Ruth No. 82, the mother Ruth of Nashville, is pleased to say that the year 1913 finds them in a healthy and prosperous condition. A few years ago we felt that our flag was trailing, but a few of the old guards picked her up and today she floats high and free. We have taken on new life and expect to stand until called from labor to reward. God has blessed us wonderfully. We have had lots of sickness during the past year, but only one death, and each inmate has taken a vow to live closer and do more for the Ruth this year than they have done before. The following are the officers elected for 1913: Mrs. Estella Rhodes, M. N. G.; Miss Minnie Kirkpatrick, P. M. N. G.; Mrs. Tennile C. Washington, K. N. G.; Mrs. Mollie B. Thomas, N. G.; Mrs. Susie J.

Wright is hopeful that the bill appropriating $250,000 in aid of the fiftieth celebration of the emancipation of the Negro will be passed at this session of Congress. Agitation for a Negro Building at the Panama Canal Exposition at San Francisco in 1915 is again to the fire. Cards have been received by friends here announcing the birth of a daughter to the American Minister and Mrs. Henry W. Furniss at their country seat near Fortau-Prince, Haiti. An engraved enclosure, wishing their friends a happy New Year, was also received from Minister and Mrs. Furniss. Their American fellow-citizens extend the heartiest of congratulations. Editor H. P. Slaughter, Associate Justice W. L. Houston, Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson and other high functionaries of the G. U. O. of O. F. are in Philadelphia this week attending the meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management. As this is the first session of this august body since the exiting episodes at the Atlanta meeting of the B.
