NASHVILLE GLOBE. NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VIII. ADVICE OF HON. SAM'L H. THOMP- SON TO NEGROES. Delivers Address at State Normal— Discusses Subject "A Race School" Speaker Only Republican Member of State Board of Education—Audience Surprised at Position Taken. Hon. S. H. Thompson, of Athens, in delivering an address at the dedication of the State Normal, startled his audience when he made a strong plea to the Negro men to stay out or politics. Mr. Thompson advised Negroes go to the polls and vote and then return to their work and wait until nother election. These remarks were made in the midst of a well-prepared address and had no part in the exercises. Hon. Thompson is the only Republican member of the State Board of Education, and the colored voters were surprised to hear him make such a statement. The address is as follows: A RACE AT SCHOOL Samuel H. Thompson, Athens, Tenn Samuel H. Thompson, Athens, Tenn. In the brief time that I shall speak to you it is not my purpose to review the Negro race. Nor is it my purpose to flatter or criticise that race, but to point out, if I may, some of the things that concern you most and that also concern us most. I do not propose taking you into the clouds, dropping you into the abyss or spiriting you across the chasm, but I do hope to say some things of practical worth both to you and to those who may listen, come after us or investigate the work this state and school are doing not only for the Negro race but for the white race as well. Emerson says in one of his many essays that are never too numerous that America spells opportunity. This nation with all her fine institutions has long been the refuge of the oppressed and downcast and sometimes the "Outcast" of other lands. We are known the world over for our stupendous munificence to those in need and distress. Our own fair state has been remiss in her duties along this line. Every ready as we always seem to be to respond to those in immediate distress we have sometimes forgotten to relieve the continued needs at our very door. And thus almost a generation after our sister states provided adequately for the proper training of teachers of both races we hesitated to take hold of the most important educational problem of the age, namely the preparation of those who direct and instruct the young of our land. But finally, after many seeming failures, we have come into our own and are now safely launched in an educational propoganda that will be of untold and unlimited value to us in citizenship for all the years to come. It might be worth while right here, for the sake of some who do not have time to study and of others who do not care to do so, to go into statistics just a little, but with some reservation and always bearing in mind the three kinds of lies described by the Washington newspaper correspondent, namely, common lies, damned lies and statistics. Quoting from the latest report of the United States Commissioner of Education you will find that in twenty-three state, including the District of Columbia, there are one hundred fifty public High Schools for Negroes with 513 teachers and 9,641 students. Of these the largest number, 42, are in Texas with 90 teachers and 1,857 students, while the following seven states widely scattered throughout the nation have but one such school each, with an average of 12 teachers and 192 students: Delaware, District of Columbia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina and Pennsyl REPUBLICAN REORGANIZATION MUST WAIT. Special to the Globe. Special to the Globe. Washington, D. C., Jan. 28.—Reorganization of the Republican party must wait. Time alone, the leaders say, will heal the wounds of those who battled in the recent campaign for President Taft or for Col. Roosevelt. The ultra-progressives are of the opinion that the old line Republicans should forsake their present allegiance and join hands with the new party. The friends of President Taft insist that the only genuine remedy for existing troubles is to stick to the old ship, stand by the Constitution as "she is wrote" and preserve the traditions of the organization that, from Lincoln to Taft, made this country the "greatest ever." Chairman Hilles and Chairman Dixon are resting on their oars and awaiting developments. The Negro politicians are as far apart as their white brethren, although it might require a microscope to find out just what they are or have been quarrelling about. The followers of the President and those who cast their lot with the bull moose candidate have not been able to reconcile their differences. The bull moosers in bronze" say "come over;" and the regulars cry in response "come back." ASKED FOR BY COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE PECK.

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JANUARY 24, 1913. NURSES FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOARD OF TRAD SCORES A POINT—RELIEF WORK. $5.00 Sent Through Nashville Globe—St. Paul Church, Columbia, Donor—Helpful Organization Doing Effective Work—Conditions of Water at Knowles School Looked Into. That the Nashville Negro Board of Trade is making itself known and felt, especially along the lines of the advancement of the citizenship of Nashville is evidenced by the fact that it has just been announced through that organization that a colored nurse to look after colored patients in the city has been authorized to be appointed at a salary of $50 per month. This nurse will be under the direction of the Health Department and the selection will be made by the Negro Board of Trade, who has solicited the co-operation of the Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery. The joint committee having in charge the matter of recommending for appointment the nurse is Drs. G. H. Bandy, J. H. Holman, J. A. McMillan, J. W. Bright, S. W. Crosthwait, J. A. Lester, F. A. Stewart, T. W. Stephens, A. M. Townsend and J. H. Hale. Those making application for the position have been instructed to apply to the Secretary of the Negro Board of Trade, where it is stated the committee will meet and dan the names with a view of making the selection today at noon. Recently the Negro Board of Trade has shown itself to be wide-wake along other lines and is making for itself a name that is deserving of much commendation. It is looking forward to having removed various evils with which the race is now confronted, among them the water supply at Knowles School, where it was found upon examination through Dr. F. A. Stewart the water to be in an exceedingly unwholesome condition. Other matters of great importance to the citizenship of the community are receiving the earnest attention of that organization. At present a campaign is being waged for the relief of the victims of the Cumberland River overflow and a substantial fund is being raised. Donations have come in from numerous sources. Among them was a check for $5 sent to the Globe from St. Paul A. M. E. Church, of Columbia, Tenn., to be turned over to Board of Trade and applied to the relief fund. This contribution, thus far, is the only one coming outside of the city, and receipt for same with due acknowledgement to the St. Paul Church was also sent through the Nashville Globe and appears elsewhere in this issue. The organization was recently granted a charter of incorporation. The present officers are: G. H. Bandy; president; J. B. Bate, vice president; T. Clay Moore, vice president; D. Wellington Berry, secretary; J. T. Phillips, assistant secretary, and I. L. Moore, treasurer. Executive Committee: A. N. Johnson, chairman; F. A. Stewart, S. P. Harris, A. M. Townsend. G. H. Bandy, T. Clay Moore and J. B. Batte, members ex-officio. REV. HOWARD IN INDIANAPOLIS There is going on at this time in Bethel Church the greatest spiritual awakening that that church has witnessed for many a year. Rev. S. L. Howard, of the evangelical bureau of the A. M. E. Church, is conducting the meetings. Few men of recent times have the power over other men that he has; his preaching is so reasonable that intelligent men as soon as they listen to him see the reasonableness of the plan of salvation and accept Christ as their Saviour. Many of the foremost business men of the race have allied themselves with the movement, either as workers or as converts. Nearly fifty persons have been converted in the fourteen days' efforts and many are still at the altar. Among those who have been converted and are now prominent workers are: Ed. Sanders, Charles Byrd, Robert Taylor, John Stewart, Harry Jackson, Jno. Johnson and many other men of prominence in the city. Some nights as many as seven persons have surrendered to the power of God—The Indicator. THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSORY CELEBRATION On the ninth day of February the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the A. M. E. Church will celebrate their thirteenth anniversary. Dr. Julian C. Caldwell, with headquarters at the Sunday-School Union Publishing house, has prepared an excellent program to be observed in all the A. M. E. churches on that day. The program has as a frontice the picture of Richard Allen, the first bishop of the Church and for whom the League is named. This department of the A. M. E. Church has enjoyed a wonderful growth under Dr. Caldwell. He was given the work nearly five years ago with nothing but a name and now there are several thousand leagues organized. REGORD OF NE- GRO SOLDIERS MOST BRILLIANT IN UNITED STAES ARMY. Army and Navy Journal Throws Some Light o the Situation—No Danger of Elimination—Pres. Wilson Would Not Approve —Newspaper Sensationalist's Yarn. The New York Evening Post is authority for the statement that from President-elect Wilson have come assurances that he will not tolerate any movement that has for its object the elimination of colored troops from the United States Army. The Post makes this assertion in connection with the bill now before Congress, H. R. 1262, to repeal the statutes which authorized the formation of the four Negro regiments—the 9th and 10th Calvary and the 24th and 25th Infantry. The Post, whose sympathy with the colored population may lead it to some extravagance of statement, says that the proposal regarding these four regiments is part of a scheme to drive the Negro out of every department of Government service, with the ultimate object of reducing him to the grade of a servant. After all is said and done it may be found that this alleged "movement" to drive all Negroes out of the government service has no better foundation than newspaper invention based upon the possibilities of a large measure of Southern influence with a Democratic administration than with a Republican, just as when the Cleveland Democratic regime began in 1885 there was a variegated crop of rumors predicting the paying of the Confederate bonds, the payment of slaveholders for their slaves, the restoration to the South of all battle flags taken in the Civil War, the annulling of the pro-Negro amendments to the Constitution, and similar moonshine. Such a thing as the levation of a Democrat, and a Southerner at that, to the presidency of the nation now is too good an opportunity for the news paper sensationalist to let pass. The enterprising journalist, when that subject has run its little day, may have another savory dish of prophecy to serve up hot to the jaded readers of the daily press. Major Roberts, of Burlington, Vt., recently spoke as follows of the conduct of the 10th Calvary stationed at Fort Ethan Allen near that city: "I have been asked whether we had any trouble with the 10th Calvary, whether we had any race difficulties or otherwise. I want to say, not because I have any propaganda to advance or any theories to state, but because it is a fact, I know exactly what I am talking about, that the black troopers of the 10th Calvary have given the police and the people of this city no trouble whatever. I think we have made two arrests in the three years, and one of them a soldier who was quietly asleep. He may have had a drink or two the night before, perhaps not, so we let him go. And I think the other was for some trifling misdemeanor. It is fair to them to them to say," Capt. J. Stearns Cushing, of Governor Foss's Council, commenting upon the stay of the regiment in Norwood, Mass, when en route from maneuvers on the Cape to Burlington, said that, with all the freedom given to the men when off duty, never did any body of soldiers visit that. (Continued on Page 8.) CARY B. LEWIS SLATED FOR A QOOD BERTH. Special to the Globe. Washington, D. C., Jan. 22—Mr. Cary B. Lewis, the well-known Chicago journalist, is coming to the inauguration. He is mentioned for "something good" at the hands of the Wilson administration, and besides the favor of the Illinois delegation and the democratic national committee, because of gilt-edge work in the publicity bureau during the recent campaign, Mr. Lewis has the hearty support of that Nestor of American journalists, Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. SERIOUS SHOOTING SCRAPE. specular to the Shaw, Tenn., Jan. 13.—On the night of January 14th, a sad occurrence took place here near the Southend of the switch, when Mr. Bonnie Robinson, a one-armed man and Mr. Tansil Shull got into a dispute over some coal, which resulted in the Shull young man being shot by Robinson, receiving a severe wound in the breast. It is reported that Shull also shot, but the same was not much effected, hotguns are said to be the weapons used. FARMER'S CONFERENCE OPENED TODAY Special to the Globe. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 22.— The twenty-second annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference opened today with an immense attention. The session blids fair to be the most successful the Institute has ever held. Tomorrow the Workers' Conference will convene and prominent educators from all over the country will take part. ARRAIGNMENT BY GOV. PATTERSON CALLS LEA AND CRUMP "DARK POLITICAL GAMESTERS. One Professional Prohibitionist, Other Professional Protector of Vice"—Lea Promised His Support to Patterson — Crump "Most Dangerous Manifestation of Prohibition." Ex-Gov. Malcom R. Patterson issues the following statement: "To the Democrats of Tennessee: "I became a candidate for United States Senator in Democratic primary which was ordered to be held on the 5th of November, 1912, by a regular Democratic Committee, upon whom the authority had been conferred by a regular Democratic Convention. "Justice to myself, to those who supported me, as well as the truth of political history as it is now being made and recorded in our State. dictates that I should make a statement of the facts which led up to my candidacy, my nomination, and subsequent withdrawal. Divisions within the party arose in the Legislature of 1909, of such a character that one wing, which called itself Independent, refused to accept the will of the majority of the Democrats and entered into a political deal with the Republican members, by which a fusion was accomplished with the result that the Regular Democrats were reduced to a minority and both houses were organized by the combination. Among the laws passed by the Legislature was the election law, which was so manipulated as to deny representation on the State Board to the regular Democracy, and the Prohibition statue. "As Governor I vetoed these measures and had the Legislature sustained me the Democratic party would have resumed it rightful ascendancy and nor people saved from the strife, discord and corruption which a deprived standard of political morals always engenders. Tennessean's Treachery. "When the Legislature adjourned the alliance formed between the Independent Democrats and Republicans remained unbroken. I was nominated a third time for Governor in 1910, being unopposed in a Democratic primary. During this time my elimination was demanded as a candidate, though I was the unquestioned choice of the majority, and the Tennessee, as the organ of fusion, declared that this alone would save the State to the Democratic party. "After the unfortunate judicial contest the charge that I was the cause of the dessension in the party ranks became more frequent. It was repeated in every issue of the Tennessee, and by many other newspapers of the State. Having been honored by the Democratic party and intensely grateful for the favor I had already received, it seemed my duty to suffer a self-imposed huffiness—if by that step I could gave the party from the defeat and redeem the State from the blight which had fallen upon it. "I withdrew as a candidate, had nothing whatever to do with the subsequent convention which nominated Senator Taylor, did not suggest any member of the Executive Committee, was not invited to make, nor did I make, a single speech in the campaign which followed. Those who demanded my elimination as a candidate were not satisfied with the sacrifice, and though they had said it would bring peace and restore harmonious action, they used my withdrawal to widen the breach, supporting Gov. Hooper and knifting Taylor at the polls just as they would have done me or any other Democart. "Naturally I hoped the time would come when the truth of my position on public questions would be revealed to the people and that I could come before them in an open, fair contest with a reunited party—vindicate my name from calumny and renew a political career which I felt had come to an untimely end through no fault of mine. "Two Executive Committees were in existence, Col. O. C. Barton being the Chairman of the Independent and Maj. W. O. Vertrees of the regular Democratic Committee. "In the early spring of 1912 the suggestion was made by mebers of the Independent faction that there should be an end of bickering; that the party should be reunited and a plan of harmony followed, proposed by twenty or more newspaper editors of the State. "This was to the effect that the two Executive Committees dissolve and a new committee formed by a convention composed of delegates from both factions of the Democratic party. Lea's Promises. "This was urged by the Tennessee in repeated editorials an my influence was solicited to aid in bringing about the result. The plan was TENNESSEE'S LEA- ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.4 INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS NORTH END NEIGHBORHOOD UNION. Held Monday Night—Large Crowd Braves the Storm—Prof. Keith Opens Meeting—States Object for Coming Together—Dr. Haynes Makes Telling Speech—Good Music. The North End Neighborhood Union met at Pleasant Green Baptist Church Monday night for the purpose of installing the officers of the Union. Owing to the inclementy of the weather the people were late gathering. At nine o'clock Prof. H. L. Keith, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, called the meeting to order and all joined in singing "Blessed Assurance." Dr. J. C. Caldwell read the Scripture lesson. Dr. T. W. Stephens led in prayer. The Fisk Quartett rendered a selection. Prof. Keith said he considered apologies to be the worst thing that can be made in the beginning of the life of anything, and I am not going to make an apology, but a statement. He stated that on a previous night on which the meeting was to have been held a large audience assembled that could not get in the church. On the occasion referred to the weather was very element and the building was not opened. Prof. Keith admonished those present to forget the things mentioned on the program that would not be enjoyed, but for every one to make himself content. Dr. Geo. E. Haynes was then introduced. He said, in outlining the aim of the organization, that it was not his idea that caused the organization of the Union, nor did he feel that it was the union of the people. He said the purpose of the Union is to make all see the great need of joining forces to make this the best community it is possible for it to be. He cited that there are over a hundred outhouses in the community that become an annoyance in the summer. It is clearly proven that flies are the carriers of infantile paralysis, to say nothing of malaria and other diseases. He said these things could only be remedied by a united effort of the people. He spoke of the condition in Knowles School, where the children have to sit on their wet wraps, and that the water those children are drinking is water out of an old well that is surrounded by contaminated outhouses. He called attention to the unsanitary and unsafe condition of the building. Take the matter of lighting and you find a like condition, and the fire protection was declared to be inadequate. There is a pressing need of playgrounds. It is not as apparent now as it will be in the future. The speaker called attention to the fact that a few years ago an acre of land could be purchased in the community for what fifty feet can be purchased for now. The boys are going to play and if they cannot find a space large enough to play ball they will get around in the alley and play craps. The boys are going to play something. Concluding the speaker said, "My friends we need these things and the only way we are going to get them is to get them for ourselves." Lawyer Grant could not be present, but sent the following message: January 20, 1913. Mr. President and Members of the North Nashville Neighborhood Union: Dear Shr—This is to inform you that it would give me pleasure to be present at your inauguration exercises this evening, and to mingle my voice with yours for the uplift and betterment of our section of the city. (Continued on Page 7.) TILLMAN ATTACKS GOVERNOR BLEASE. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 21.—A scathing message of deacundation to the Legislature from United States Senator Benjamin Tillman marked the inauguration today of Cole L. Blease, who began his second term as Governor. The message was read into the official record. It was Tillman's reply to a message sent to the Legislature last week in which Blease charged Tillman and Wm. E. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia Wm. with conspiracy to defeat Blease. Blease produced telegrams sent by Gonzales to his Washington correspondent instructing him to ask Tillman for a copy of a letter in which Tillman said the re-election of Blease would be a disgrace. After denying that he ever saw or read Gonzales' telegram, Tillman said: "Being a low type of man himself, he (Blease) does not realize and can not conceive how anyone else can be honorable, clean and above board.

After getting the building for school purposes for a long period he with a host of friends, sparing neither time nor money, has made it a desirable location for a school.

The parents express their appreciation of the school by their work and patronage. Rev. Nelson and wife have the confidence of both white and colored. The white people far and near donated liberally to the cause. The door now stands ajar, not to teach creed but to conquer ignorance PASTOR OF ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH BEGINS A SERIES OF SERMONS Rev.

He hears of other boys making money and comes to you and begs for a chance to try. But you say: "No you are too small." You continue saying this until the boy believes he is too small to do anything but pull his mother's apron strings--a great life is blighted and you are to blame.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1913. Fusion Fruits. The contention that a Leopard's spot will betray him was never more clearly substantiated than it is in the case of the political pow-wow we are witnessing her in Tennessee's capital. Fusionism may work well for a season, but it is not founded on sound principle and must go amuck sooner or later. In this case it has reached its zenith much sooner than was apparent, when it is taken in account that powerful forces and joined hands and had wrapped themselves in the guise of civic righteousness, and had emblazoned on their banner, prohibition. But the combine could not hold. The break had to come. The desires of the clique could not all be satisfied, and therein lies the undoing of the whole plan. Fusionism is dying, though hard, but it is dying nevertheless, for the house is divided against itself. Tennessee is coming back unto her own and ere long the reins of government will be in the hands of honest men. Men who live above political hypocrisy. The interest of the State demands that all political bargaining cease, and that the interest of the people be conserved. It is not a matter of much concern what party governs, but it does matter what the men who make up that party stand for. Fusionism does not stand for anything particular, but for whatever is around to be grabbed. Fusionism means bargainism, and no crowd of traders are to be trusted, for they are liable to swap horses in the middle of the road as in the regular market place. We have the choice fruits of fusion in the compact between our Governor who was elected on a prohibition ticket, and the Mayor of Memphis. The Star Realty and Investment Company is one of our young enterprises that is forging to the front. The men who organized this company are of that type who know how to succeed. Community Interests At the inauguration of the officers of the North End Neighborhood Union Dr. Geo. E. Haynes struck the keynote of the situation when he said "The things we want done we must do them for ourselves." Self-reliance and self-confidence are the short-comings that the Negroes of the city need more than anything else. If we can come into a full realization of our duty to self and of our own possibilities, a great step will be made. The great need in this city first of all things is a purging of the race. There are some who are admitted to our society who are not fit to walk in the middle of the streets when decent people are passing. There are some Negro women in this city who are supported by white men, and we know them, but we pose as being ignorant of the fact. There are some Negro men in this city who arrange dates between white men and Negro women and we know them, and yet we keep as mum as a clam. As a race, designated, we will be compelled to set ourselves against this evil first of all. It is a mistaken idea when we conceive that Negroes will not be backed up by the best white people if they attack this evil. No, the trouble is we have never made the attempt. So long as we submit to this outrage so long will we be looked upon with scorn. Hon. S. H. Thompson, the Republican member of the State Board of Education would have an automatic voting constituency in Tennessee. Why not just count all the Negroes of voting age and appoint Hon. Thompson as their proxy? Impulse and Reflection. Girl in the parlor reading book, Catches man by hook or crook; Eut girl in kitchen, scrubbing pan, Can not capture any man. Six months later, head in whirl, Wished he'd married a kitchen girl. The above lines which appeared in the Atlanta Independent we repeat here for the special benefit of that regiments of old fellows who are overdue, and who need guidance lest they fall into error. Senator Ben Tillman says Gov Cole Bleas is so low he cannot imagine any one else to be honest and above board. Well, he ought to know, they have both walked in the same tracks. Editorial Clippings. CLAFLIN'S MISFORTUNE. For the second time in the history of this well known University, fire has destroyed its main building. It is sad news to the graduates and friends of this school. For the past two or three years, under the energetic lead of that untiring worker and able president, Dr. L. D. M. Dutton, great efforts have been made to raise an endowment fund for Claflin. A fire at this time in particular was most unfortunate. Instead of directing all energies to the endowment fund, attention now must be given to the where withal to erect again a main building. The building will be erected. The president says so and with him saying means doing. Friends of education should help willingly, for Claflin has certainly justified her existence by her splendid work.—The Southern Indicator. THE STAR has always contended, sees no reason to change its views in the premises, that no political party can succeed in the United States without the aid of the Negro. When the Progressive Party drew off from the Republican Party, it carried with a great majority of the Negro voters throughout the land, but when that party saw fit to repudiate the Negro's support in the South, it drove thousands of these voters to the support of the party which has always been considered the Negro's worst enemy, and when Governor Woodrow Wilson assured Bishop Walters that the Negro should be treated fairly, he won their support and was triumphantly elected president of the country. Today the Negro considers that he owes fealty to no party, except the party, which will vouchsafeg to him all the rights and privileges guaranteed to all other American citizens, and no matter what has been the policy of a party in the past, it will hold out no inducements to receive the Negro's support in the future, unless that party shows that it recognizes the Negro as a part of the country and is entitled to a man's chance in life.—The Star (Newport News, Va.) The Nashville (Tenn.) Globe ordinarily 8 pages, doubled in size Jan. 10, and called itself Pythian Special. The issue is a credit to American journalism. But then, that's Nashville—Dallas Express. The newly elected municipal administration was installed Monday. The new members of the board of aldermen are John W. Francis, Dr S. H. Harris, Jas M. Marr and T. H. Black, Jake Parker was also relected to the office of treasurer. It is confidently expected that the new members will add strength to government of the town. In the organization John W. Francis is designated vice mayor, and Dr. Scott H. Harris, clerk succeeding Jas, M. Marr, who has held the post very acceptably for several years.—The (Mound Bayou) Demonstrator. At a close estimate it is said the white merchants and other business men spend $150,000,00 a year for special advertising matter, thereby inducing people all over the southern part of the state and Southwest Virginia to come to the city to purchase their goods. How much is spent by the Negro business men, can any one tell?—The (Bluefield, W. Va.) Weekly News. Very strange things are happening these day. Among them is the fact of the appointment of two Negroes on the inaugural committee. It may be said, however, that the two appointees are straight democrats and will render service in housing the colored people who may attend the inauguration of the next president of the United States. It is very fitting that this recognition should have been accorded colored democrats. Their labors throughout the campaign were most effective in aiding the triumph of Governor Wilson at the polls and this light recognition of their valuable services is deserved. The southern papers have not noted the fact as yet but doubtless will when the time comes—The Durhua Reformer. The Oklahoma Legislature now in session is mapping out congressional districts in a way to make it impossible for any candidate to be elected to congress other than a democrat. We are told that one or two of the proposed districts will be more circultous and winding than the Canadian River and put the famous "Shoestring" congressional districts of Mississippi and South Carolina out of business.—The American. JUDGE SHIELDS WINS On the seventh joint ballot Judge John K. Shields was elected yesterday afternoon to the long term of the United States Senate. This election brought to a close one of the bittest fights in the history of Tennessee. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1913 GLOWING TRIBUTE PAID A LIFE OF USEFULNESS.

For the first time in the history of the Negro schools of Nashville an educator of our race was honored by the teachers and pupils among whom that one had worked. It is a delight to the public to know that Dr. R. S. White and his corps of efficient teachers have set a precedent in honoring the members of their race and holding up to the youth of the Negro race those men and women who are doing some material good for the race. It is too true that our youth has such a limited opportunity to know of the lives and deeds of our distinguished heroes, while lives of vice and degradation surround our your people on every hand. A lack of knowledge of the beautiful in others' lives is due sometimes to the narrowness of our souls in not being willing to speak of the many nice things accomplished by our fellowman; the kind deeds done and the beautiful traits of character possessed by that one. Dr. W. A. Hadley was the first principal of Knowles School after it became a city school. Being the principal of the school when that part of the city became incorporated, and one of the prime movers in having the corporate lms extended to that part of Nashville. He has truly built for mit is now the most beautiful Negro residential section of our beloved Nashville. He has truly built for himself and his loved ones a monument, which time can only enhance in beauty and value. The beautiful granitoid walks, graded streets, lovely houses, shaded and grassy yards, electric lights, sewer systems and police protection which the people of the third ward are now enjoying, to say nothing of the largest and one of the best Negro schools in the State, were all made possible by the energy and foresight of Dr. W. A. Hadley, and truly dr. R. S. White and his teachers honor themselves in paying this high tribute of respect to the memory of Dr. Hadley. As early as 9:40 a. m. the visitors and speakers began to assemble in the large hall on the first floor of Knowles School to do honor to the occasion. Nature smiled upon the effort in the ideal day which was given for this unwelling, and by 10 o'clock the hall was entirely filled with visitors and pupils. At 10:30 the exercises began, Bishop Evans Tree, of the First Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church, delivered the principal address, and everyone knows that enough has been said when his name is merely mentioned, for the Negro race has no man who can be considered his superior on the rostrum. The fire of enthusiasm caught every heart in the building and the pupils poured forth their appreciation in the sweet songs rendered, and that educator of years in the person of Dr. S. W. Crostwain, with dear Father Coombs helped to pour more oil on the fire already burning to a white heat by their eloquent words. Knowles School leads, all others follow. This has been her motto for years, and well was it demonstrated Wednesday, January 22. In the esteem shown to the memory of Dr. Haddley's work and department among his people while he lived. The good which men do is not always buried with them, and the pupils of Knowles School have had set before them a lesson in material value which they will not soon forget and one which will encourage them to strive for nobler and higher things, believing that our men and women will be esteemed and appreciated for what they accomplish for others' good and not for the hours spent in idleness and vanity. They will realize that lives of selfishness and dishonor are not cherished by the best of our people, and that deeds of kindness, lives of virtue and truth, however obscure, will be sought out and found by some one and made to shine out like a diamond of the first magnitude sparkling in all of its beauty and purity as Bishop Tyre made that of Dr. Haddley sparkle to-day.

Owing to pressing business at Meharry Medical College, Dr. C. O. Hadley could not be present to accept the picture on behalf of the Hadley family, but Mrs. Willa Hadley-Faulkner, eldest daughter of Dr. W. A. Hadley, in a most beautiful and touching speech with that lovely modesty which has always been her chief attribute, accepted the picture for the family. Letter From Dr. C. O. Hadley. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 22, 1913. Dr. R. S. White and Teachers It is a matter of deepest regret that on account of binding duties at Meharry I am not able to be present this morning. In behalf of the family I wish to thank you for this evidence of love and esteem for the memory of one who is dear to us. If any one thing could compensate for these eleven years of loss and seperation, it is the thought that loved and honored by wife, children and relatives, he is also loved and honored by those among whom he labored for so many years; that the bread which he cast upon the waters is being gathered after many days. Too often does the evil of a man's life live after him. Too often is the good interwed with his bones. With many regrets that I can not be present on the occasion of this manifestation of esteem of the memory of our deceased father and husband. I am. C. O. HADLEY. The presentation speech was made by Dr. R. S. White, principal of the building, and remarks were made by Mr. W. H. Fort, Sr., of the E.

SOMERVILLE NOTES The leap-year has passed into eternity, and time has turned over another new year. It seems that the Somerville society people were not awakened to the thought of matrimony until the birth of the new year. This has been clearly demonstrated by the many recent marriages, coming from the stronger sex of Somerville, especially. On the first day of the new year Somerville threw ajar her gates to welcome the Rev. T. J. Douglass, A. B, one of Somerville's most cultured young men, and his beautiful ordee, Mrs. Nettle Ellington Douglass. Following this came the quiet marriage of Dr. C. S. Powell, A. B, one of Somerville's most prominent physicians. The doctor married the "fair lady," Miss Hattie Locke. Both brides were from Dyer, Tenn. The Rev. N. T. Walker, A. B, a life long friend and classmate of Rev. Douglass and a fast friend of the doctor's, officiated in joining the two couples in the holy bonds of matrimony. The good people of Somerville have been the recipients of many visitors from various places for the last week. The Misses Higgason are pleased to have with them Miss Hason. Pears of Memphis, Tenn.

They came through toll, hatred and strife, Denied the privilege or making a life, Their rights rescinded, their sons oppressed, Their progress veiled, their faults expressed, All is denied them that manhood would crave, In the land of the free and the home of the brave. They are made the subject of brutal scores, On their head evil vengeance pours, Behind closed doors their fate is sealed, No ear will listen to their appeal. As Israel of old for years tramped, Getting God's seal on their character stamped Kept by oppression close to his throne, Letting God make them His very own; Strengthening themselves in His recruiting station, Learning to become a part of the nation, Grasping for knowledge where ever they went, On towards a certain standard bent, Becoming the equal of any man, Of any clime, of any land. To-day the standard is nearly reached, To-day the walls are nearly breached, To-day we stand in armour ready, With head held high, our pulse beat steady, Efficient, proficient and learned we stand, One great united black skinned band, Looking the world square in the face, Making a name for our race, Proud of our progress, forgetting strife, Glad of what we have made of life. The world looks on astonished, surprised, At the Negro's sure but rapid rise, Laws are made to fix his station, Even in this, our own great nation, But the ways of God are past finding out, In his own way things come about The making of nations is in his hand, His power is felt in every land, He makes great empires and lets them fall, He reckons not with men and laws. The walls of Jericho must early fall, Walls of infamous, unfair laws, The time is coming, it must come soon When for every man their will be room, When the white man acknowledges his brother, the black man And they both will live in this great Southland, Respecting the rights of each the other, As man to man and brother to brother And God above as one great Maker, The father, friend and great care-taker. Like Israel of old, to-day we stand, By the river Jordan of the promised land, Just a few more days and we'll enter in To take our place as a race of men, Men of thought, intelligent, cultured, Men by years of schooling nurtured, Trained in the head, the heart, the hand, Will take their places in this great land, Will take these places and nobly fill them, For God knows best and he is with them.

This interview took place behind closed doors, and just what influence this will have upon educational growth in East Tennessee is not known.

The event will be held on the night of March 5. On the 4th, of course, will come the monster parade, in which the colored brother will be seen to advantage. Many smaller balls will be given during the season by clubs and groups of individuals. At the nall it is expected that Bishop Walters will deliver an address on the status of the race under the new administration, and special music will be rendered.

C., June 21—The sages and soothsayers hereabouts are sending out warning cries to the anxious office-seekers in the States, advising them not to take a step toward Washington, unless they have positive assurance that they will be given a paying position. Past experiences have been very bitter on this score, and disasters have frequently followed previous disappointments of men who have done such heroic work that their friends have felt sure they could have anything they wanted for the mere asking. "Remember the Cleveland, Harrison and McKinley revolutions!" is heard on all sides. The incoming of each of these administrations made a change in party premiership. They were interpreted by the "faithful" to mean that a clean sweep would be made of all hold-overs from the opposite camps. Men with a pocketful of money and a heart full of hope have come here from distant states, to get good places. They have waited long and in vain for the elusive bit of parchment that would give them a clutch-hold on Uncle Sam's payroll. Finally, their money gave out. The patience of indulgent friends was exhausted. Hope is lost—and somebody gets into trouble—or worse. The iron of despair, eners their souls. "They may get over it one of these days, but they'll never look the same," in the vemacu lar of the street. So, bearing all these episodes and tragedies in mind, the soothsayers, who know Washington like the proverbial book, are warning the army of the anxious to stay away from Washington until they have their appoint "cinched," if they wish to stay on the safe side.

(Continued from Page 1.) posed in good faith, I should never have entered it, spending time and money to receive a barren nomination apparently fair, and if so it appeared to be right and wise on the part of all Democrats to aid in its consummation, but having had experience with and suffered by the treachery of Senator Lea, who was one of its prime movers, I would not accept the statements of this newspaper that it would support the nominacy of the party under the plan of harmony, and refused to give my assent until Senator Lea himself, through Mr. Morton, the present Chairman of the State Executive Committee, gave assurances that he would support all nominees of the party, and Mr. Morton further reported to me that Senator Lea stated in answer to a direct and specified question that he (Lea would support me if I became nominee for United States Senator. "Under ordinary circumstances the mere fact that a gentleman advocated a certain plan would have bound him to its results, but with Senator Lea's additional personal assurance I joined in the plan of harmony and it became an accomplished fact. The convention ordered two primaries, one for Governor and Railroad Commissioner in August, and one for Senator and State officers in November, Senator Lea exerting his influence and faking direct appeal to delegates to separate the two primaries. "At this time and before the plan of harmony was agreed upon it was generally understood that I would become a candidate for United States Senator, and soon afterwards my candy was announced. I complied with the terms of the primary by paying $500 as the qualification fee, and agreed to all other conditions. "Before beginning the campaign I went to Washington and procured such documents and information as I thought would be of assistance to me in presenting the principles of the Democratic party of the people of the State, and prepared myself to make a contest in the only way I have ever known by stating my positions, trying to convince the people of their correctness and leaving to them the issue between me and any competitor I might have. "The two gentlemen who became candidates against me, for reasons best known to themselves, withdrew and I made a canvass of the State unopposed. "On the first of October, the time limit set for qualification, the committee should have declared me the nominee, as is customary under similar circumstances all over the State, but it did not, and I pursued the campaign until the 5th of November and received the nomination from the hands of the people. "It is true only about 36,000 votes were cast, but this was a large number when it is remembered that no primary was held in many counties, there being no incentive to vote for an unopposed candidate and none for the candidate to induce a large vote, for one vote was binding as any number of votes would have been.

I should never have entered it, spending time and money to receive a barren nomi- nation. "But the chief spirit of the movement in the Editors' plan had an object in view altogether different from the one he proposed, and that was to worm his way into confidence, attend the Eultimore Convention as a delegate, where he could pose as a Democrat, obtain a standing and receive a certificate of good character, which he had lost at home. "After attaining this object, Senator Lea, through his newspaper, began a systematic attack on the primary plan he had advocated, refused to recognize it or abide by its results. Not only that, but he used every artifice and endeavor to defeat the Democratic nominee for Governor, and employed every means to elect members of the Legislature who would not support the nominees of the primary which he himself had proposed. He and his organ asserted that President Wilson was entitled to a progressive Senator to sustain the policies of his administration, and to this every Democrat agrees. "Had it been possible to secure an election at the hands of this Legislature. I would have been as progressive as a member of the United States Senate as Gov. Wilson will be as President. I should have opposed the power of privilege, sought to establish our country on a more enduring basis, sympathized with the struggle of those on whom taxation falls so heavily, favored the election of Senators by a direct vote of the people and earnestly sought to bring about the true end of all government by safeguarding their rights and promoting the strength and happiness of the people. "I should have tried to progress towards truth, good faith and honorable dealing, and not retrogress towards falsehood, treachery and deceit. If the political methods of Senator Lea and his organ are evidences of modern progression, then I must confess myself a non-progressive and abide whatever consequences may attend, for to me they are thoroughly detestable. "If in Tennessee there yet exists a standard of political honesty under which men do what they say—live up to agreements solemnly made, to whom the advantage which comes from falsehood seems despicable and mean, who will not desist their own party and seek its undoing when they cannot control and receive its favors—then I may still claim to be progressive in my views. Conspiracy With Crump. .. Before the present Legislature convened, I offered to withdraw as three Regular nominee for United States Senator. If by doing so the Democrats could have organized the House and Senate. When the Legislature did convene and Fusion was again accomplish, my friends and I realized the hopelessness of the situation so far as my candidacy was concerned. The delegation from Shelby County was openly opposed to me, though I had lived in Memphis since childhood, and could have carried the county in a YELLOW CREEK STRAIGHT KENTUCKY BEEF MASH BEEF MASH BEEF MASH BEEF MASH popular vote against any man in the State. It was not so much the fault of the delegation, among whom are several who, if left to their own incitation, would have given me their support; but the delegation owed its existence to Mr. Crump and was under his complete domination and control, and Mr. Crump and Senator Lea had entered into a conspiracy to control the State by their own peculiar and sinister practices which are as well known as they are despised, even among those who profit by them. otherwise, except in the direct natural endowments. The way he made plain to the black and they may be encouraged proper direction, but the solution the question still must come within the race. Let them win reward by diligent service." The only another way of saying races: No improvement can be except from within. I am sure race that has made such wow strides in so short a time will take up the gauntlet that has been thrown down. "It was a part of this conspiracy to deny me, as the nominee of the party, that which was my due, and to repudiate an obligation which rested upon both to carry out in good faith the primary plan, to which Mayor Crump equally with Senator Lea gave his sanction and active support. I was, therefore, compelled to submit to the humiliation put upon me by a political boss, the latest and most dangerous manifestation of prohibition which makes the law-breaking liquor dealers of the cities the slaves of official power and who are encouraged to multiply and then either protected or chastised in turn in order to increase the power and importance of the man whose favor they court and whose lash they obey. "These worthies, Lea and Crump, dark political gamesters, who are yoked in common thought and purpose, the one a professional prohibitionist, the other a professional protector of vice, not only refused to support me, but every other nominee of the November primary; and are reported to have parceled out all officers under control of the Legislature to the highest bidders, making the most shamful deals and dickers by which they have sought to fasten their grip upon the State and strengthen their mutual interests. Lea's Ambition. "The hope of Senator Lea is to fan the fires of hate and passion whenever they smoulder so they may live to light his way to another term in the United States Senate—that of Crump to crack the whip over the backs of slaves, retain his power, dictate patronage and reign over a city. Lea and Crump do not care under what flag they fight so they may have the spoils of victory. If they could gain favor and reap more than the Regular Democrats than with the Republicans, they would not hesitate to betray their allies and return to the camp they deserted. "Crump gave his support to McMillin when he thought he would win, though allied with Hooper, and after Gov. Hooper's election he again becomes his friend; while Lea, though a United States Senator, in order to go to Baltimore, entered into a bargain to vote for Mr. Underwood for President, when his paper was advocating Wilson, and Lea himself was secretly for Bryan. "Fusion produced Senator Lea, it has given Crump to the State, and together they are a menace to honest politics and are danger signals which ought to warn every Democrat and every Republican who still cherishes the old unprogressive thought that 'Honestly is the best policy.' STAY OUT OF POLITICS (Continued from Page 1.) vania. Tennessee has eight such schools with twenty-five teachers and 612 students. Of the fifteen Southern states having such Public High Schools only Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Texas have a greater number of schools than does Tennessee, while Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Virginia have a less number than we. Our showing in this respect is something to which we may point with pride. With several counties in the state having an excess of Negro population carrying with it ali that may mean of inborn prejudice on account of previous condition of servvude, the so-called but misunderstood desire for social equality and the some-place popular notion of the general inferiority of the Negro it seems remarkable that though almost half a century removed from the last vestiges of official slavery we are enabled as a state to dedicate this fine building here today and begin a work the value of which cannot be estimated this side of eternity. In 1906 a series of articles concerning the Negro appeared in successive issues of The Century Magazine. These were four in number, the first being by the editor of that deservedly popular magazine himself; the second was by Harry Stillwell Edwards, a wellknown Southern writer, and the last two were by Robert Bennett Bean, M. D. In one of the articles entitled The Negro Brain, Dr. Bean endeavors to show why not for many, many years can the Negro come up to the standards of the white race and the high standard he has set for himself. The entire article is extremely scientific, and the conclusion is that the Negro at birth does not have sufficient brain cells to warrant the excellencies to which he aspires, but that as the race improves the number of brain cells will increase and the capacity will thereby be greatly enlarged. It is a well known psychological fact that, potentially speaking, we are at birth all we will ever be and that in reality many of us have more brain cells then than at any other time in our lives, the unused cells disappearing by atrophy. If this be true—and I think we must admit it struthfulness—then the responsibility placed upon the race is tremendous. Each Negro should feel that he is having a part in the making over of a world-old race and should, therefore, live his best and strongest life constantly. Dr. Bennett wisely concludes the article in the following words: "The Caucasian and the Negro are fundamentally opposite extremes in evolution; the one a very advanced race, the other a very backward one. We are forced to conclude that it is useless to try to elevate the Negro by education or otherwise, except in the direction of its natural endowments. The way may be made plain to the black people and they may be encouraged in the proper direction, but the solution of the question still must come from within the race. Let them win their reward by diligent service." This is only another way of saying to all races: No improvement can come except from within. I am sure this race that has made such wonderful strides in so short a time will gladly take up the gauntlet that has thus been thrown down. Further light on the advancement of the Negro may be had by reading "Negro Homes," by Dr. Booker T. Washington, in The Century Magazine for May, 1908, and in the January, 1910, issue of the same magazine an article by Dr. Hiram Tong on "The Pioneers of Mound Bayou." But perhaps the most illuminating thing yet published, from the viewpoint of the Negro, is a finely written article asking the direct question, is the Negro Having a Square Deal? This article appeared in the November Century—do I apologize for mentioning the Century so many times?—and is from the gifted pen of Dr. Washington of Tuskegee fame, and above referred to. Now I have said all of these things to let you know that the advancement of the Negro is receiving some attention outside of Tennessee, and that while we are almost the last to give him state aid, in a large way we have all along given him considerable help in high School work and 'n the elementary schools. Now let us see what remakes to be done. This School. It is significant in this busy day that the Governor of our great state should count it worthy that he should be present and deliver the principal address of the occasion; also that the State Board of Education composed of busy men of affairs should take its valuable time to be with you in an official capacity. But that is not all nor is it the most significant. The most outstanding thing is the fact that today there dawns a new era for the Negro in Tennessee. Under the magnificent leadership of your President, William J. Hale, you could not fail if you wanted to. Certainly no Negro school in the entire territory has a more capable president and a very few anything like approach him in efficiency and in the ability to do things. Furthermore he has the hearty co-operation of a strong faculty largely of his own selection. And moreover he has the endorsement and confidence of the State Board of Education which has absolute control of this school. With this large responsibility upon President Hale he can not help measuring up to the great requirements of his position. It is our hope that this school will in time be for Tennessee what Hampton and Tuskegee are for the Nation. We shall be greatly disappointed if it does not measure up to this. Your buildings and grounds are the most choice in the state and your architectural designs are the best we have seen. The City of Nashville and Davidson County have done well for you and they as well as the State of Tennessee will do much more if you show yourselves worthy as no doubt you will. It has been suggested that on this occasion I make some reference to the Negro in politics or rather to his keeping out of politics. And I suppose I had just as well be plain about it and say to you Negroes here that the whole thing is meant for you to keep out of politics. To do much good at this I might have to write a history of your race in politics. But that is not necessary here. To you men of experience and wisdom I need not point out the evils of these things to a race just in its formative period. Practically all the white political "bootlegger" wants out of you is the rounding up of the fellows. He does not want you at all unless you can deliver so many votes, and is never half so friendly the day after the election as the day before. It is far more beneficial to you from every standpoint to take no part in politics except to go to the polls on election day, cast your vote for the best man on the ticket regardless of politics, even though it be a choice of evils as is frequently the case, return to your place of business and work industriously until the next election day at which time you should repeat the above suggested performance. You know as well as I do that it is for the best interests of either race of industry and economy. Here in this school you have every chance to be a wage earner that will bring you always a comfortable living. Moreover, if you develop the ability to receive a classical education, that door will not be closed to you but an opportunity will be afforded for the pursuit of such studies as will give you the same education as enjoyed by any other race. Too many of your people, like many of ours, try to go far beyond their abilities and actual needs in life. In other words you cannot sharpen pot metal and lead will not hold edge. I have seen in my own experience as a teacher many good practical people of my own race ruined by too many embellishments and the forgetting of the practical side of life. It has been said by some that your race imitates many of the weaknesses of the white race. While this may be true, let us in this instance reverse what seems to be the rule and show that we not only know how to choose the best but that we have the will to make the right choice. I do not know that I need to say more. Speaking to you in behalf of the State Board of Education I have brought you the best message I have. If I should add but one more word it would be to admonish you in the same way I would any other people; To be honest, virtuous and sober; to cultivate the beautiful, the good and the pleasant; to be industrious, frugal and energetic; to be charitable, tolerant and faithful, and above all to keep on good terms with yourself and to never claim a right or privilege for your own that you would not willingly accord to another.

Copeland, of Wesley Chapel C. M. E. Church, and R. J. Buckner, of St. Paul A. M. E. Zion Church, have united their congregations and during the past week twenty-seven persons were converted. Some of these converts are from the best families, while others are from the worst dives of the city. The city is being systematically canvassed and all are being cordially invited to the meetings. Rev. R. J. Buckner is doing all the preaching and he has proven to be wonderful in his pulpit powers for this kind of work. The meetings last week were held in St. Peter, and this week at St. Paul.

The president who served during the last year retired and the new officers were installed. A report of the class work for 1912, showing the amount of missionary and class work done under the auspices of the Sunday-school broke all previous records. This particular class was the first to receive a charter in the United States. The treasurer's report showed that the class had been able to collect independently of the Sunday-school in voluntary monthly dues and entertainments $69.00 for the year, while the Sunday-school class collections on the Sunday mornings had averaged $1.00 per Sunday. The meeting was at the residence of Mrs. A. S. Rucker. It was also agreed to give a Valentine entertainment in February, just before the regular meeting, which will be at the residence of Mrs. H. A. Boyd, 1603 Harding street. NORTH FIFTEENTH AVENUE SUN DAY-SCHOOL IN LINE. In the presence of an overflowing crowd that had come to the North Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church on Thursday night, at the request of the pastor, Rev. A. W. Porter, there were erected two of the organized Sunday-school classes known as Metokas and Galedas. The church chair furnished music in the first part of the evening. This was followed by addresses from Rev. J. B. Ridley, national vice president; Rev. A. W. Porter, pastor, and Rev. Henry A. Bovd, secretary of the Sunday-School Congress.

All patients should be in the hospital by January 28th, if possible. Faculty of Meharry Medical College G. W. HUBBARD, M. D. Dean, Dr. J. L. Scott, graduate of the medical class of 1906, has returned to Meharry for the purpose of doing post-graduate work and will remain through the period of the surgical clinic of Dr. Daniel H. Williams, to be held early next month. Dr. Scott has for the past four years been very successfully engaged in the practice of his profession at Boiey. Okla, where he will return to resume his work on the completion of his course at Meharry. Dr. J. C. Lowe, a medical practitioner of M. Pleasant, Teenn, and a graduate of the class of 1900, was brought to Hubbard Hospital on Wednesday, the 15th, on account of injuries of the hip-joint, accidentally sustained on the previous day. An X-ray examination was made on Friday, the 17th inst., and the diagnosis of fracture of the "neck of the femur" reached. Surgical treatment has been instituted by Dr. J. A. McMillan, of the hospital staff, and the patient has been reported to be doing well. On Sunday afternoon, the 19th inst., Mr. Albert Watkins, a prominent business man of this city, accidentally suffered a fracture of the "lower end of radius" and was consequently hurried to Hubbard Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. F. A. Stewart, of the surgical staff of that institution. The Y. M. C. A. of Meharry was very able on Sunday afternoon, the 19th inst., by Mr. A. N. Johnson, of this city, who enforced very practical lessons on the members, and impressed them with the responsibilities that devolved on them as educated men of the Negro race. The successful and scientific advancements of anything are dependent on the mastery of technical difficulties, of which Dr. Z. Gamaliel Pusey, the ardent, energetic and optimistic manager of "The White Lie," from the pen of Dr. Wm. L. Saunders of Meharry Medical College, is fully capable. This will be the rarest of rare treats to the people of Nashville. The White Lie is a play that is highly moral, religiously clean and characteristically instructive. The teachers and students of the schools and universities are especially requested to attend. Dr. G. W. Hubbard being unable to attend the dedicatory exercises of the State Normal School, deputed Dr. J. T. Phillips to act in his stead. After charming a tedious audience by his brilliancy, oratory and magnetic personality, the doctor further prepared them for his speech by relating an anecdote touching the Negro in slavery. He said in part: "T bring greetings from Mehary-con Ladies hose, the 15c quality, fast colors and good weight, special a pair .....Se Misses hose, fast black, pink or blue, the good kind, pair .....Se Men's half hose, black or colors, the 15c kind, clearance sale, price a pair .....Se Great Annual W ON rative.

The Negro believes it is just as important to know how to till the soil as it is to know the science of medicine. In the former case State Normal plays a most important part and Meharry holds its own in the latter. "Dean Hubbard, the faculty, the members of the staff of house physicians of Hubbard Hospital and the student body assure you that we cooperate with you in anything that tends to our moral, social and intellectual uplift. I again congratulate you and bespeak for you a most brilliant and flattering future." INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS (Continued from Page 1.) Unfortunately for me, my meetings occur on the evenings when other pressing duties call me elsewhere. Though I may not be able to be present, I wish to assure you that you have my sympathy and shall have my help to forward any work for the good of our end of the city. If I can get through in time I shall endeavor to reach your meeting before you close. Hoping for the fullest fruition of your building hopes, I am Yours for the forward movement, J. W. GRANT. Prof. Keith announced that the next matter on the program was the installation of the officers. He said it was a great thing to be a president. He said he was in Washington once when the president of the nation was inaugurated, and as he stood then and looked on all that pomp and splendor he wondered if he would ever be president. He then introduced the president, Mr. S. H. Johnson, to deliver his inaugural address. The president said he considered it a high honor to be elected to so important a position. He said words failed him to express his appreciation. And in an eloquence sublime though in a few words accepted the honor conferred upon him. The following were installed with the president: Dr. G. S. Moore, vice president; Mrs. S. W. Patterson, secretary; Dr. J. C. Fields, treasurer. Executive committee: M. L. Jones, H. S. Slsney, S. P. Harris, Dr. George E. Hynes, Mrs. James B. Fort, Dr. A. C. Coombs, Mrs. Phil Douglass. Mrs. F. W. Patterson, secretary, was introduced and pledged her hearty support and conscientious service. The members of the Executive Committee were introduced. Rev. Jas. L. Myers, of Murfreesboro, was prevailed with to render a jubilee selection, and with the assistance of the Fisk students he sang "Oh My Good Lord Show Me the Way." Dr. T. W. Stephens, the pastor of the Scovel Street A. M. E. Church, was introduced and pledged to give his hearty co-operation. Mr. D. W. Crutcher was introduced and made a few remarks. He assured his assistance. Prof. Clinisson was introduced and made a few remarks. The next meeting was set for February 17th. --- Meet Us There, Meet Us There, Yes, Meet Us at the MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA June 4th-9th, 1913 Enroll Your Sunday-School, Send a Representative, Get an Introduction to the Sunday-School Forces of the National Baptist Convention Do you know the children of to-day will be the church members of to-morrow.

Men who are familiar with the chemistry of the human body understand that only the chemical elements used in the creation of the body are required to restore it to health when once its functional power, impaired. Nature does not require a mass of drugs dumped into the stomach which merely represent an accumulation of foreign substances which must eventually be eliminated from the system. When mother nature created mankind she used no mercury, no strychnine, no quinine, no digitalis, no morphine or other positional chemicals such as the doctors delight to prescribe for you, and she needs none of them to accomplish any restorative work that may be necessary in your behalf. If you are tired of taking drugs into the stomach; if you have gotten to the point where you believe there is no hope; if you have tried all kinds of treatment your doctor could suggest, without its benefiting you, come today. PHYSIOLOGY OF THE LEG. The Flesh Composed Principally of Leg Trouble and Foot. About 75 per cent. of the entire weight of the flesh of the body is water, leaving 25 per cent. of other material or solids. The solids hold the water in place. The water combined with the nourishment from the food, produces a clear visid liquus humor called plasm, and in this "Plasm" is found still another liguid called "protoplasm." Little is known of protoplasm, excepting that it is the lifegiving principle of the flesh and blood and through its presence the plasm becomes a living fluid. Dead Plasm, or plasm out of its natural channel, quickly putrifies and becomes deadly poison. This is the poison that irritates the mucous lining of the body and causes kidney trouble, constipation and ill health; it is also the acrid water drawn from sores by my wonderful Plaster. The cause lying back of this disease is of such a nature that when the natural forces within the limb have lost control they can never rally without assistance. This assistance must be supplied by means of a remedy. A knowledge of the disease and how the remedy cures is all that is necessary to make each change understood and enable the patient to follow the developments until a cure is effected. Leg trouble is not a blood disease, but purely a local affection which can be excited to action by any passing cause accompanied by Inflammation, but after the Inflaming influence passes the effect remains in the form of leg trouble, showing that this disease does not require a permanent derangement of the system or of the blood to keep it acting, but only needs inflammation in one form or another to start it. SAY. If leg trouble were a blood disease you would also have difficulty in curring cuts, burns and sores on other parts of the body. Do you? Another proof that the blood is not to blame: The fact that my wonderful Plaster will bring one of these diseased legs or feet out of its Dormant and Indolent state, improve the health and cure the sore, although the trouble has been running for years, shows that the leg is not kept sore by bad blood, but on the contrary the blood is poisoned by a diseased leg. Another proof that the cause is not in the blood is: That sores and wounds heal promptly on other parts FOR FURTHER INFORMATION SEND A TWO-CENT STAMP TO HENRY A. BOYD, Secretary Syphilis Is Only One Exciter of Leg Trouble Syphilis is too often given credit for being responsible for leg sores, not only by physicians, but the sufferer often feels that his blood is contaminated. Unless this is positively known to be the case, those suffering with leg trouble are not doing themselves or their family justice by entertaining such an idea, neither should anyone suggest such a thing, as it only tends to depress and discourage the patient. It is a terrible thing for people who have untainted blood and who a rescuing with leg trouble to have this idea thrust upon them, for after once receiving this false impression, many will give up and resign themselves to their fate. Syphilis is only one of the exciters of this trouble, and like the other influences which start it can be cured by the proper treatment, yet unless the limb receives the proper attention the leg sore will continue to develop after every trace of blood poisoning has been eliminated. My Wonderful Plaster could be used upon cuts, burns, scalds, blisters, bites, nail punctures, blood potion, bed sores, abscesses, bone felons, boils, carbuncles, fistula, warts, corns, callouses, bunions, ingrowing toe nails, burning feet, chilblains, frost bites, cracked hands, eczema, rheumatism, inflammation, erysiphelas, pleurisy, colds on chest, pneumonia and sprains.

Sullivan, Secretary of the American Athletic Union and American Commissioner at the Olympic games last summer, has just been published in the official athletic almanac for 1913. In addition to selecting the all-American college team, composed of both college and clubmen, Mr. Sullivan has selected an all-American college team and an all-American scholastic team. Practically every man on the team completed in the Olympic games, and with few exceptions, helped to swell the total of points scored by the American team. Jim Thorpe, who won the pentathlon and decathlon at Stockholm, was named as an all-round man. Harold P. Drew, the Negro sprinter, of Springfield, Mass. High School, is given first place as a 70-yard sprinter, while Ralph Craig, winner of the dashes at Stockholm, has been named as the 100-yard man. To Alvah T. Meyer, the New York Irish-American Athletic Club flier, was given choice in the furlong dash. Melvin W. Sheppard, the peerless mid-distance runner, won his place on the team as a 600-yard man, and Ted Meredith, now of the University of Pennsylvania, is named as the half-mile performer. Charles D. Redpath, who showed his heels to the fleetest performers in the world, both in Sweden and when competing in the colors of Syracuse University in the quarter-mile run, had little difficulty in winning his place. John Paul Jones, the holder of the world's record at one mile and the inter-collegiate record at 880 yards, has been named only on the college NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1913. team. Abel Kiviat won first place for the mile, and Tel Berna of Cornell won preference in the two-mile run. Charlie Brickley, Harvard's great football player, was selected for the hop, step and jump. Gastron Stronbins, who was the first American runner to finish the marathon run, has been chosen for the long grind, while Pat McDonald, Matt McGrath, Jim Duncan and Pat Ryan were p'cked in the weights.

THE RECORD OF COLORED SOL (Continued from page 1.) town who were so courteous or who tried less to attract the attention of any woman. "I want to tell you," said he, "that the commander and officers of the 10th United States Calvary and their whole regiment are more than welcome in Norwood, and I imagine anywhere in Massachusetts, because without exception they are the best disciplined regiment we ever saw." It has been suggested that an infantry post be established at Washington, D. C., and that the 25th infantry be assigned to it permanently. On account of race prejudice the local interests have frequently protested against the stationing of the 25th infantry at various posts. These protests have not been confined to Southern locations, out have come from the neighborhood of northern posts where colored regiments have been stationed. The claim is made that the 25th Infantry, or any of the other colored regiments, would receive better treatment in the District of Columbia than at any other station. There is a large high-class colored population in the District which would give the members of a colored regiment a circle of society in which they could mingle without any prejudice. For some time it has been insisted that the Infantry should have a representation in the vicinity of Washington, and it is suggested that this would be the solution of the problem. 10TH CALVARY-COL, J. C. GRESHAM First Lieut. Louis A. O'Donnell, 10th Cav., now in Philadelphia on leave, to the Walter Reed General Hospital, D. C., for treatment. (Jan. 7, War D.) G. O. 23, HDQRS. 10TH CAV, Dec. 22, 1912, Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. Six years ago the Machine-gun Platoon, 10th Calvary, was organized at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, with First Lieut. Albert E. Phillips detailed as its commander. Since that time its record has been an uninterrupted series of victories whenever it entered into competition with other organizations. Some of its records are so remarkable that they cannot fail to stir the pride of every officer and soldier in the regiment. It was not until 1908 that contests with other organizations began and this is the result: In 1908—First place. Prize, silver cup. Machine-Gun Competition Military Meet—Department Luzon. Winning 52 out of 60 points with two Calvary and three Infantry regiments entered. In 1909—First place. Prize, silver cup. Machine-Gun Drill U. S. Military Tournament—During the Hudson Fulton Celebration at Albany, N. Y. Two infantry regiments competing. First Place—Prize silver and gold shield—for "Best and most sanitary camp for entire week," eleven organizations contesting for it. In 1910—First place. 10th Calvary Indoor Meet (Gymnasium and Riding Hall). Prize, banner. In 1911—First place. Regimental Indoor Meet. Prize, banner. First place—Regimental Baseball League.

Nearest competitor 52 seconds. Philippines Division Military Meet, Manila, P. L, 1909. Lieutenant Phillips, prompted by a keen desire to develop the Machine-gun Platoon as a potent factor in welfare, has contributed a variable chapter on "Indirect Fire with Machine-Guns" to Captain Applin's book, England, bearing the title of "Machine-gun Tactics." The Regimental Commander makes of record the splendid achievements of Lieutenant Phillips and commands him to the consideration of his comrades now that his service with the Machine-gun Platoon, by operation of detached service law, is enaged. By order of Colonel Greham: Captain and Adjutant, 10th Calvary, Adjutant. BROADVIEW SCHOOL, PULASKI. Special to the Globe. Pulaski, Teen, Jan 21.—The above named school is in the midst of the most successful year of its history. To its former faculty, Prof. J. Thos. Bridgeforth, principal, and Prof. H. H. Thompson, assistant, has been added Miss Claudie C. Woodson, a graduate of the school, class of 1912. A new enrollment record has been made, the following outside communities being represented: Red Hill, Ala. Stella, Pigeon Roost, Kellum, Pulaski, Hurricane, Friendship and others. The two dramas, "Too Much of a Good Thing," and "The Sweet Family," were great successes. The Alpha Psi Literary Society is having interesting semi-monthly meetings to which the public is invited. The Boys' Corn Club and the Girls' Tomato Club have been organized. On Friday afternoon, January 17, there was held an old-fashioned spelling match in which the members of the grammar and secondary grades, 88 in number, participated. An interesting feature was the standing of little Roberta Bridgeforth, age 10, grade 5, to the end of the contest, being outspelled only by Mr. L. P. Gilbert, 9th grade, who was the successful contestant. The applause was tremendous, and the young men, headed by Mr. Gilbert, proceeded to raise a substantial purse, which was supplemented by Prof. Thompson an presented to little Roberta as a token of appreciation.
