NASHVILLE GLOBE. NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY Vol. VIII. TWIGS DEAD BODY FOUND ED Vol. VIII. IN EAST NASHVILLE YARDS WITH BULLET HOLE IN HEAD. Believed That He Was Murdered—Suicide Story Not Plausible—Shot Entered Left Temple—Decased Was Right Handed—Two Arrests Made—Was Last Seen at House on Second Street. John E. Twigs, aged 35, a member of Engine Company No. 4, on Woodland street, since 1899, was found dead lying between the double tracks in the East Nashville yards near the overhead bridge on First street, Tuesday morning shortly before 5 o'clock. From all indications, he must have been dead for some time, for Patrolman Tanner, who helped to remove the body, claims that it was cold and stiff. There was a bullet hole in the left temple, and the powder marks showed that the shot had been fired at close range. As several dollars in money were found in the pockets of Twigs, the theory of robbery has been discarded by the officers. The body was turned over to the A. N. Johnson Undertaking Company, but was later removed to Taylor & Co.s, pa. Fourth avenue, North. Patrolmen Cummings and Jacobs and Patrolman Wheeler Darr of the Sanary Department arrested Sam Winston and Mattle Frazier, who reside at 410 North Second street, and brought them to the police station. They were closely questioned by the officers, but stoutly denied that they knew anything regarding the cause of Twigs' death. The officers claim that Twigs was last seen in the house of the Frazier woman. The two prisoners are being held pending further investigation into the matter. involvement. The theory has been advanced that he was murdered and the body later brought to the yards. It is also thought by the officers that the pistol was near the body to indicate that Twigs had committed suicide. As he was not left-handed and as the bullet entered the left temple, this theory has been discarded by the officers working on the case. Twigs was last seen about 6:30 o'clock by Mr. Tom Cantrell, with whom he boarded. He left his board ing-house shortly after 5 o'clock to go to his work and stopped at the Frazier woman's house. Two chambers of the pistol, a 38-calibre Harrington & Richardson, were empty. There was also a bruise over the left eye. His money and watch were found. Up to Wednesday evening officers working on the mystery surrounding the death of Fireman John Twigs were no nearer a solution of the case THE LATE JOHN E. TWIGS. Member of Engine Company No. 4, Who Was Found Dead Tuesday Morning in East Nashville Yards. than they were at the beginning. The man and woman arrested soon after the discovery of the body, have given no information that would throw much light on the killing, but they are still detained at headquarters. When Twigs first entered the service in 1899 he was for a time the driver of Chemical Company No. 1 on College street, later going to No. 4 on Woodland. He was well-liked by his associates and was quiet and unassuming. He attended to his business and had no enemies. He lost his father when he was quite young and for a long time worked for Mr. William Lanier, formerly a butcher here. Later he worked in a dairy and prior to his appointment on the department worked for Mr. Charles Sanders at the railroad office. Many rumors are afloat as to how Twigs came to his death. One it is said gained circulation among the white people who have known the unfortunate man all his life was to the effect that Mr. Lanier provided for (Continued on Page 5.) EDITOR TURNER ANSWERS CALL VETERAN JOURNALIST EXPIRED SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1. Was Well Known Throughout the Nation—Teacher, Business Man, Lawyer, Statesman and a Fearless Advocate of His Race—A Pioneer in Fraternal Order — A Consistent Churchman. The funeral of the late J. Thomas Turner, Editor of the Nashville Clarion, was held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services were conducted under the orders of the United Brothers of Friendship, Knights of Pythias, Mosaic Templars of America and the Queen Esther Court. Rev. Clark, the pastor, stated that while the attendance was large, it would have been much greater had it been possible to announce the hour of the funeral earlier. But this could not be done because Mr. Turner's sister could not be located in Holly Springs in time. But the tribute paid the deceased was indeed a great one, and showed conclusively that Editor Turner was held in the highest esteem by the people. The choir sang "Some Sweet Day." Rev. W. S. Ellington read for the Scripture lesson the 90th Psalm. Rev. S. Cumby, of Smyrna, led in prayer, after which the choir rendered very pathetically "Servant of God Well Done." The obituary was read by Rev. W. L. Craft as follows: J. Thomas Turner was born in the State of Mississippi August, 1860. He died Saturday, February 1, 1913, at 7:12 a. m. He was 52 years and 6 months old when he died in his room on Fifth avenue, North. He had suffered for years and had spent hundreds of dollars, seeking a cure, but found none until on last Saturday morning, when the Lord whom he had served for years sent His angel to bring him to Himself where all is peace and love. At his bedside when the end came were Rev. Wm. L. Craft, Miss Birdie Washington and Mrs. Jane Buchanan. The end was peaceful. He passed away as one resting from the day's tail. He was for a long time a member of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Memphis, Tenn., being one of the organizers of that church. He was for a time one of the leaders in the famous Beale Street Baptist Church of the same city when it was in its glory. He was a teacher in the city schools of Memphis and one of the leading business men, standing at the head of a large grocery company. He came to Nashville some years ago and connected himself with the Mt. Olive Baptist Church as a watchcare member, where he proved to be a faithful and consistent Christian, taking part in all the work of the church. He was at the head of the social and literary movements of the church. He was a graduate from the Law Department of Walden University. He was one of the foremost laymen of the Baptist denomination, local, state and national, holding the following positions in the state: Statistical Secretary of the Missionary and Educational Convention, member of the Executive Board of the State B. Y. P. U. and Sunday-School Conventions, Editor of the Nashville Clarion, the official organ of the Baptist State Convention, which position he held at his death. He was a member of the National B. Y. P. U. Board and at his death was the legal adviser of the local Executive Committee of that Board. He was well and favorably known throughout the United States in political and fraternal circles. He was a thirty-third degree Mason, a member of the Knights of Pythias, the U. B. F. and S. M. T. G. U. O. of O Masonic Templars of America, and other fraternal organizations. He did not say anything at his death. He was too weak. He had talked before his death in his walks and Christian deportment whilst he moved among men. The Baptist have lost a prince who stood for the doctrine of the Baptist church a strong supporter of missionary and educational work. The citizens have lost a foremost man whose heart we always ready to render whatever (Continued on page 7.) MEDICAL MISSIONARY LECTURES AT MEHARRY AUDITORIUM. On Friday afternoon, 31 ult. Dr. J. Royal Dyer, medical missionary to Africa, lectured at Meharry Auditorium to the students of Meharry Medical College and Walden University, on the social and religious conditions of the natives of the Congo States, among whom he has been laboring for many years. A great deal of interest was evidenced as the doctor told the strange customs of the people, their mode of living, his diligent labors among them, and the success of his work. It is hoped that some of the students may avail themselves of the opportunity for usefulness in the broad field of the Dark Continent. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY FEBRUARY 7, 1913. 2 THE LATE J. THOMAS TURNER BAPTIST GOMING TO NASHVILLE. NATIONAL CONVENTION TO MEET HERE IN SEPTEMBER. Emancipation Celebration to Be Held —Fifteenth Anniversary of Negro Freedom—Philadelphia Was a Strong Bidder—Vote Stood 6 to 7—Exposition to Be Financed by Private Subscriptions. The next session of the National Baptist Convention will be held in this city in September. This information was given out upon the return of Dr. R. H. Boyd from Tuskegee Insti- tute, Ala., where the Executive Com- mittee convened last week. President E. C. Morris called the Executive Board to order at 3:05 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in one of the beautifully-arranged and spacious assembly rooms in Huntingdon Hall by reading the call authorizing the meeting and defining or suggesting its purpose. The members of the Board who were present were as follows: Dr. E. C. Morris, Helena, Ark., President; Dr. W. G. Parks, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Vice President at large; Prof. R. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala., Secretary; Dr. A. J. Stokes, of Montgomery, Ala., Treasurer; Dr. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, Ark. Chairman of the Home Mission Board; Dr. C. H. Parrish, of Louisville, Ky., Chairman Foreign Mission Board; Dr. T. J. Searcy, of Memphis, Tenn., Chairman Educational Board; Dr. P. James Bryant, of Anta'湾, Ga.; Chairman of B. Y. P. U. Board; Dr. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., Secretary National Baptist Publishing and Home Mission Boards; Dr. T. O. Fuller, of Memphis, Tenn., Assistant Secretary; Dr. A. A. Cosey Mound Bayou, Miss., Vice President for Mississippi; Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., honorary member, and J. D. Crenshaw of Nashville, Tenn., Editor of the Union-Review, the official paper of Convention. The purpose for which the Board met was to select the place for holding the next session of the Convention and to outline plane to provide ways and means for carrying out the order of the Convention, based upon a resolution which prevailed at the Houston session, for holding a semicentennial celebration in commemoration of the fifty years of reedom of the race in the manner here defined by Dr. Parrish's resolution, which was passed, and which reads as follows: Resolved. That we celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Emancipation of the Negro at the next annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention; and further. Resolved. That the nature of the exhibition be through pictures charts, figures and addresses. There were in nomination the following places for the Convention: Montgomery, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Nashville. After a long, lively and tactful discussion, struggles narrowed down to spirited contest, nip and tuck, between Philadelphia and Nashville. Here ensued, when these two places became the only contestants, the most carefully worded and tactful arguments by those who favored the one or the other place. Little by little the tide began to slowly ebb, as might be seen, in favor of Nashville. (Continued on page 8.) CITY SCHOOLS ORGANIZED BEGIN SPRING TERM UNDER FA VORABLE CONDITIONS. Some Changes in Teaching Forces Shifts from Meigs, Belleview, Carter and Nelson Merry—School Principals' Association Meets Important Subject Discussed—Organization The city schools have been organized and begun the work of the spring term during the week past. There was an increase in the enrollment of some of the schools and changes have been made in the teaching forces of others. The changes were in the nature of transfers to strengthen the usefulness of the system. Miss Martha Grisham was transferred from Belleview to Melgs to fill the former position of Miss Hattie Caruthers, who married recently. Mrs. Lula Jones was transferred from Nelson Merry to Belleview. Mrs. Addie Bell Hunter was transferred from Carter to Nelson Merry. Miss Ethel Turpin was transferred from Melgs to Carter. Miss Willie Belle Flagg is the new teacher employed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Caruthers. Miss Flagg will teach at Melgs in the place of Miss Ethel Turpin. The new teacher is the third of the Flagg sisters to be selected as a teacher in the city schools and brings to her work a fine reputation as a model and ambitions young woman. The Flagg sisters are the daughters of the late Rev. William Flagg, formerly pastor of Payne Chapel in East Nashville, who died at Belluckle three years ago. Belleview School, of which Dr. John Ira Watson is principal, has a large number of seventh grade pupils enrolled for the present term. These pupils will go to Pearl Manual Training Center for the work in manual training and domestic science. This is in line with the plan of the organization throughout the entire school system of the city. The Story Tellers League, of which Prof. Henry A. Cameron is the president, will hold its regular monthly meeting at Pearl High School Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The subject will be "The Psychology of Story Telling." The Story Tellers League among the teachers of Nashville is now more than a year old and has become a forceful part of the life of the progressive school teachers of the city. "Stories are told at each regular meeting and meetings are held at stated intervals in the different sections of the city. The purpose of the league is to develop the art of story telling as an incentive to pupils and to encourage the love of reading among the future citizens of Nashville. There are some good storytellers among the teachers of Nashville. Miss Georgia Lofton, of Belleview; Miss Lischey and Miss Emma Cockrill, of Knowles; Mrs. Jennie Honesty, of Carter; and Miss Ella Hendry, of Ashercraft, are among the number of interesting story tellers of the league. Miss Georgia Lofton will have a strong story to tell at the (Continued on page 8.) REPUBLICAN AT- TACKS NEGRO. CHARGES THAT HE VOTED DEM OCRATIC TICKET. Election of Davidson County Delega tion to Be Investigated—Delayed Action Topic of Discussion— Have Participated in Over Third of Proceedings—Mr. Mr. West, a Republican member of the Legislature from Knox County, introduced a resolution in the Lower House. This is a direct attack on the Negro. Slap at the Negro. "Because of this belief an increasing number of Democrats have ceased to participate in its primaries or feel bound by its nominations. In consequence, said party has come more on more to rely on the element, owning no property, having small interest in public affairs, and who are, for this reason, not offended by the autocratic control of the party. In this way wards and precincts possessing a large Negro vote have become 'Democratic strongholds.'" The resolution, which was adopted, to investigate the charges of fraud made by the defeated candidates for the Legislature from Davidson County against all this county's Representatives except Albert E. Hill. The reason for excluding Mr. Hill from this investigation appears to be that his defeated competitor, Alvin McCorn, has been given a job as Coal Oil Inspector by Governor Hooper, and therefore cannot join the petitioners who were not so lucky. The Legislature has now been in session a month, the gentlemen whose seats are contested voted for Judge Shields for the United States Senate. The petition is another attempt on the part of the Fusionists to bring the Negro voters in this city and county in disfavor. They care nothing for those Negroes who voted with them, but are willing to throw their supporters in for good measure if by so doing they con stir up race hatred. The Petition. The following petition accompanied the resoultion: "To the House of Representatives: The petition of Richard P. Dews, Littell J. Rust, Neil B. Lassiter, Lurton Goodpasture, R. G. Connell and J. H. Pinson, citizens and residents of Davidson County: Against John P. Murphy, A. Pink Mays, Lit. Malone, M. E. Link, Sydney G. Bornett and C. C. Gilbert, also citizens and residents of said county, respectively represents: "At the election held in Davidson County, Nov. 5, 1912, respondents Murphy et al above named, were apparently, on the face of the returns, elected to represent said county in this body. In said election petitioners, Dews et al. were also candidates for the same offices, and were truly and rightfully elected thereto, but have been deprived thereof by fraud and corruption, as herein set out. "Respondents, Murphy et al. were regular nominees of the Democratic party, and as such (petitioners are advised) are legally chargeable with the acts of its committees, officers and agents, although they may have had no personal connection with such acts, and may have been ignorant of the same. "Respondents, as such nominees, advocated the repeal of the 'State-wide prohibition law' and 'manufacturers' law' (matters vital to the liquor interests of said county), and opposed legislation which would enable the state government to compel local outlords to enforce said laws. "Petitioners, running as Independent Democrats, favored the exact opposite of these views. "Said Davidson County has large retail, wholesale and manufacturing liquor interests, representing large investments, and doing business regularly, openly and notoriously in violation of law. To maintain and protect said business interests, in violation of law, the owners thereof seek to control the government and politics of said county. To this end, for several years past, said liquor interests have gained and held control of the local organization of the Democratic party, and to cement and make certain their control, have sought more and more to concentrate the power of the same in the hands of the few, their avowed partisans. "It is commonly reported and believed, that the rank and file of said party have no longer any effective voice in the management of the same, whether the choice be by primary or convention, but that the entire control of the organization rests with the Mayor of Nashville, and the city and county officials closest to him, and most intimate with him. "For example, the names of the Legislative nominees of the Democratic convention (i.e. these respondents) were actually announced as nominees by the meeting of the said convention. Petitioners are informed, believe and charge, that the press acquired such information from the Mayor or some intimate of the Mayor." The petition goes on to say that (Continued on Page 4.) TENNESSEE'S LEAL ING NEGRO JOURNAL No.6 SOLDIER LIFE MADE BETTER LIEUT. GLADDEN DOING GREAT WORK. Religious Services Held Regularly—Men Have Become Deeply Interested in Their Own Welfare—Over Five Hundred in One Class—Filipino Scouts in Number—Prayer Services During Week. Special to the Globe: Camp Stotensburg-Pampange, P. I., December 13.—Soldier life for many years has been misrepresented and misunderstood, perhaps your correspondent will be able to throw some light on the new and modern innovations inaugurated among the soldier boys, especially in the 24th United States Infantry. Foremost in this reform and religious uplift is Leutin, W. W. E. Gladden, D. D. Chaplain of the 24th Infantry, the senior Negro chaplain in the army. Because of his strong personality Dr. Gladden has been able to do more for the uplift of the 1,500 men directly connected with the garrison than any other chapain for a number of years. It is even said that Leutenhorn; Gladden's success in soult-winning in the army has been due principally to the fact that he was such a splendid pastor in civil life. Religious services and Bible classes are held at the post, as is shown by the group taken on Sunday evening, at which 457 men were in attendance. This number at a service is not the exception, but seems rather to be the rule since the settling down of the regiment at the permanent headquarters. On December 1st there were 520 men at the service; on November 24th there were even 500. This is considered very remarkable for army life, in fact there is no previous record in the army where for three successive Sundays one-third of the entire garrison has been present at religious worship. Many of the men who go to the army seldom attend religious service in civil life, and since there is no compulsion to go to church in the army it makes it all the more remarkable and has raised this chaplain, who is responsible for this order of things, in the estimation of both officers and enlisted men. It is not to be understood that these are all American Negroes at Camp Stottsburg, as this is a mixed camp, including one battalion of the 2nd Field Artillery, six companies of the 24th Infantry and a large number of Philippine scouts. The intellectual standard has been raised considerably on account of the religious influence exerted, thereby the chaplain's work in the army are not confined to Sunsome. The efforts put forth by the chaplains for the upift of the men LEUT. W. W. E. GLADDEN, D. D. Chaplain 24 Inf. U. S. A. Camp Stotensburg, Pampange, P. I. LEUT, W. W. E. GLADDEN, D. D. Chaplain 24 Inf., U. S. A. Camp Stotensburg, Pampange, P. I. in the army is not confined to Sunday alone. Services are held throughout the week. There are prayer services each evening and praise services from time to time. The chaplain has been able, with the aid of moving pictures, in connection with his sermons and lectures, to have an attendance every night of from 300 to 500. The truth of the matter is he is preaching to these men in the army in the same manner and with the same zeal that he preached to men in civil life. These services have their reward. There are many conversions and occasionally a baptism. This is doing great good as many of the men after the expiration of their enlistment go out and lead active Christian lives, while some go directly to many of the literary and theological institutions to make more thorough preparation for life's work. In conversation with Chaplain Gladden it was learned that he is a strong advocate of the Sunday-school in its several phases. He declared that the easiest men to convert and bring into the churches are those with the greatest amount of reverence (Continued on page 8.) Out of Town Notes. UNA NOTES. Mr, Hatton 8.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1913. The Thomas Bill, Bill No. 269, introduced by Mr. Thomas in the Legislaure Tuesday to allow prisoners to ride in the smok. ing cars of both wite and colored Passengers is a most unreasonable bill. In the first place, Negroes are not provided with a smoker under the “Sim Crow” system in this state They are not even provided with sepa- rate closets for men and women. In the majority of cases only a part of @ coach is set aside for colored pas- sengers and men and women, the railroad hands, the train butcher, the flagman, the conductor, and the pri- vate detective if he happens to be on the train; all must find room in this part of a coach. If convicts are to dé: added somebody will have to ride on top of the tender. ‘This most de sirable position would of course be given to the Negro, as he is the pre- ferred passenger. But granting that first-class and ample accomodations were provided for Negroes, it would still be unjust to compell them to ride in the same coach with convicts, Furthermore, It would be. unjust’ to impose convicts on the: white passengers who ride in the smokers, ‘for they have paid full fare, and thdiigh they have access to=any part of the train, they also Paid for the privilege of smoking whenthey desire 'to and should not be compelled to ride with convicts to exercise a privilege they have paid for, ‘This Bill should be put in the pig- eon hole to remain for a period of nine hundred and ninety-nine years and then be tabled. But such meas- ‘ures cannot be dismissed with a wave of the hand, for they are not gotten up by cranks, but by men who are masters in the arts of trickery. J, Thomas Turner. In the death of J. Thomas Turner, Eaitor of the Nashville Clarion, the craft has lost one of its ablest mem- bers; the state, one of its foremost citizens and the race one of its strong- est champions. Mr. Turner was a man of many good qualities, but if one good quality in a man may sur pass another we would say that his love for civic rightseouness stood out preeminently. J. Thomas Turner always contended for the rights of his people. He never tired in a fight for them; but he always went about the matter in an honorable way. He contended for what he believed to be right, and that vigorously, but the Dest proof that he was always con- scientious was the fact that after a contest “Tom” Turner would always ‘be found in line shoulder to shoulder in the struggle for the uplift of hu manity. Fusion Fruits. ‘Thrusts at the Negro crop out of the Fusion camp periodically. This crowd cannot make their fight without an occasional filing at the black man. ‘The influence that the Davidson Coun- County delegites to the Assembly elected by purchased Negro votes 1s to absurd for decent men’s considera- tidn, and will not profit the enemies of the regular Democracy. In this final struggle for a lease of lite the Mly-white Republicans and Indepen dent Democrats are endeavoring te stave off the inevitable. But the di is cast, and the people are set In theli minds. We submit that too many poll taxe were paid in our recent election, bu we would not like the task to de termine what faction the greate offenders. ‘Those whose poll taxes were pai for them were not all Negroes elthe and the attempt to put the “Searle Letter” on him is meanness of th Tankest kind. But this is another evi- ‘dence of the Kind of frutts these fu sion orchards bring forth. Anything to win is their slogan, honesty and in- tegrity behang. ‘The Davidson County delegation was elected by a majority of the people and a majority of the property holding Negro voters supported them, and if an election were held to-morrow they would do it again. Not only a majority but a bigger majority than in November. They have studied and are studying this situation. They are observing the trend of things, and are able to distinguish between men of courage and honesty and the hun- sry officeseeker. The charge that Negroes are not concerned abdut the welfare of the County can be reputed best by calling attention to property being bought both in the country and the city, By passing through the mar- ket and seeing the number of young Negroes who are there with the pro- duce out of thefr farms and truck gardens, No one wh owants to be hon- est can be made believe that a people who are not concerned about the wel- fare of a county or city would be so industrious. No, the attempt to blame the Negro with the weakness of the Fusion element of our political party will not work, Death of John E. Twigs. John E. Twigs, a member of En- fine Company No. 4, of the Nashville Fire Department, who was found dead in the East Nashville yards Tuesday morning was a splendid example of what perservance is worth. . Thrown upon his own resources when quite young he set out to make the best of life. He had lit- tle chance to acquire an education, but he did have an mherent right to be honest and energetic. By so living he made many friends and once you knew him you were a life- time friend. His untimely death came as a great shock to this com- munity for all men John EB. Twigs was thought to be the last anybody would have aught against, It-is hoped that the guilty party will be apprehended and punished to the full extent of the law. ‘The National Baptist Convention is coming to Nashville to hold the big- gest meeting in {ts history.

THE FAMOUS BAGDAD RAILWAY. Turkey's biggest and most impor. tant railway project is the line which, starting from Konia, tte terminus of the Anatolian Railway from Stam boul, is being carried 1,250 miles in a southeasterly direction to Bussorah, at the head of the Persian Gulf, touching on the way Aleppo, the me- ye oh ‘Syria, Mosul, on the site of andient }, wna Bagdad, ‘the one-time capital of the Kaliphs.” The concession for building the 900 miles from Konia to Bagdad Is in the hands of a German company, the general manager of which, Mcissner Pasha, has an enviable ‘record of twenty. eight years in railway construction in Turkey. The. 360 miles from Bagdad to Bussorah, as a consequence of poli. tical jealousies, wiN probably be par- ticipated in equally by Germany, Rus- sia, France and. Great Britaip., The Getmans have a very liberal kilome- trage guarantee for their part of the line, which is beinng put through as a standard gauge of the most substan- tial description. There are no great engineering problems to be solved at any point, but the expense of trans: porting building materials and the absenee of stone ballasting rock in all of lower Mesopotamla is going to make eonstruction very expensive. ‘The writer recently traversed near: ly the entire route of the Bagdad Rail. way by caravan, finding elther active construction. or the final surveys in progress at all points.

If so, then it ig wrong to require that a man who takes money for his services in a political campafen shall file a sworn statement as required by the up-to- date corrupt praetices act, If it is unconstitutional to forbid a newspaper to deceive its subscribers, then it 1s also wrong fo infringe upon personal liberty by making it a crime to sell watered milk.

Perhaps there is no work more in- teresting than the making of a cotor- cd newspaper. Certianly it is a most dificult task. For years, the Dallas Express management has undertaken the task of getting up @ newspaper for Negroes and by Negroes. Realiz: ing that on account. of the rapid growth of Ameriean prejudice, — the colored man could not. for a long time expect a square deal in cold type, we set about the task of em- ploying reporters, agents and corre. spondents who were in no way in- flueneed by: the witite press, with a view to finally rewehing the news of ‘importance to the Negro, which he could hope to give the world through the colored press alome. With the opening up of our hun dreds of branctt offices came the sad intelligence of tle unpreparednese of our attaelies. Our real work we found was not in securing the news but, securing the men to man the en. terprise. That ig the real work to- day, after a struggle of over twenty years. The good teporter must be constant, in season’ and out of seasen, Traving ie elements: and dungers In cidental to newspaper fife, always Keeping fn mind the fact ‘that we must get information first-hand in order that he may know the truth of what he writes. The good agent is one who is equally constant in de livering and collecting for the paper wittiont taking inte account the lard. ships attending the work, ‘The staf correspondents who are worthy of their salt must keep abreast of the times, having in mind at all times that! they are catering to @ discerning and scrutinizing public, {tat — wauld Just as soon hurl a brick as a bow ‘quet, and whose patience would no! ‘endure incsmpetener,. ignormee or in ertness.

The club suspended the regular meeting in order to give every member a chance to hear the great "Evangelist Billy Williams" in his last lecture, "The Last Rump of the Tiger." He carries with him a message that would make the wandering boy think of the days that he considered not. This was one of the greatest lectures ever delivered to youth and man. Such is the case with all humanity. The earliest record of the great sin is enshrouded in the mist of the years, we can only think of bygone generations that strived so to lay the foundation for us. Young man why do you cling to the ungodly sin that the world offers? Search for the best during your journey on the highway of life. If truth prevalent then some will go to unknown realms to seek for the false. Be ye workers in the vineyard for the Master. Let love and kindness dwell within thy heart. This is a special plea to every youth and man in this universe. Stand with us in this cause. This is a plea from the club and poet, we are still seeking better things. So let's take a peep into history. Let not wipe out of existence these thoughts and in the end success will finally crown years of efforts. The spirit of progress and constant striving for superiority which prevailed in the past will ever dominate in the club. Behold, we have our arms extended wide to welcome all that coneh. So come and partake of opportunities. We appreciate all visitors at our meetings. All members are requested to be at the next meeting. Kappa Alpha Psi Entertained.

Twigs in his will, and that as the Lanier heirs will soon be of age, that fear was entertained that Twigs' friends would put it into his head to contend for his portion of the estate. This rumor was soon set at rest, however, and nothing more has been heard of it. In fact, those who knew Twigs do not believe he would have ever allowed his name to me mentioned in such a matter. John E. Twigs married a Miss Viola Doxey, a young woman of one of the oldest families in this city. They lived happily together until her death. He had not married again, but it is understood that he was engaged to one of Nashville's foremost ladies. The funeral was conducted from the Doxey residence on Third Avenue, North, and Coffey street. A large crowd filled the house and the yard, and while the deceased is only survived by a half-brother, a Mr. Williams, his host of friends were as much grieved as if they had been relatives by blood. The funeral was conducted by Rev. G. A. Porter and Rev. Preston Taylor. The following program was carried out: Phone Normal 6808 748 SOUTH HALSTEAD ST.

W. BRISTER, OF DEPARTMENT OF EDUCA- TION, GIVES SOME FACTS. While a compulsory attendance law in itself cannot cure adult illiteracy, "says Prof. J. W. Brister, State Super- intendent of Public Instruction, "such a law, well enforced, will make the next generation literate." The State Department of Education has compiled the following statistics bearing upon the compulsory atten- ance school law: "Six states have no compulsory law —South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas. "Six states have local laws—Mary- land, Virginia, North Carolina, Ten- nessee, Arkansas, Louisiana. "Thirty-six states have state-wide compulsory laws. "Twenty-seven states require attendance for full school term. "Fourteen states require attendance from twelve to twenty-eight weeks. "In thirteen states the age limits are, six years—eight to fourteen. "In twenty-four states the age limit covers more than six years. covers more than years. "In three states the age limit covers less than six years." Among the provisions of the proposed law for Tennessee are the following: Age limit, eight to fourteen. Time, school term. Exemptions, extreme poverty, too great distance from school and public transportation not provided, physical or mental incapacity, elementary school already completed. Penalties for violation or evasion. Provision for truancy officers and truancy school. Does Tennessee Need Law? Does Tennessee Need Law? In answer to this question, "Does Tennessee need such a law?" the following facts are given: Scholastic population 6 to 18, 650, 000 approximately. Enrollment of public schools, 9 to 18. Enrollment public schools, 6 to 18, 52,000 approximately. Enrollment private schools, 6 to 18, 15,000 approximately. Percentage of population enrolled, 89 Average attendance, public schools, 368,888. Average attendance, private schools, 12,000 approximately. Percentage of population attending school, 59. That is, 41 per cent of the children of Tennessee between the ages of 6 and 18 are not going to school. Total population ten years of age and over, 1,621,179. Total number of illiterates ten years of age and over, 221,071. Percentage of illiteracy, 13.6. That is, one person in every eight in Tennessee ten years of age and over cannot read and write. NOTES INDICATING NEGRO PROGRESS. As Furnished by the National Negro Business League. The Douglass Co-operative Investment Company is the name of a new Negr. business firm of Harrisburg, Pa. The Afro-American Investment and Employment Company at Kansas City, Mo., "cut a $900 melon" among its stockholders on February 1st. The Bragg Brothers, of Richmond, Va., who conduct one of the largest steam laundries in the city, have begun a real estate business. Their backing is said to be unlimited. A concern to manufacture or otherwise deal in brick and building supplies has been incorporated at Mound Bayou, Miss. Its corporate title is the People's Brick Company. Its capital stock is $10,000. The colored business men of Baltimore, Md., are to launch what their local papers call a "flying squadron," whose mission will be to "spread the gospel of Negro Business to every corner of Baltimore." The Windham Brothers Construction Company, of Birmingham, Ala., is ranked among the leading contractors, builders and movers of the country. The company employs steadily sixty men and does a business ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 a year. The colored people in the east end of Louisville, Ky., are to have a branch library. The library board has appropriated $4,000 for this purpose. The sum of $1,000 is to be raised by the citizens. The arrangements are in the hands of a colored committee. The Negro Baptists of North Carolina support twenty-eight secondary schools of that state. The total number enrolled in these schools is 3,346 pupils. Last year the state Baptists contributed $23,200. These schools have acquired property valued at $123,762. Twenty Ngro farmers around Fairhope, Ala, have signed up to form cooperative packing association. The object is to kill and pack all hogs killed in their community. A member of the farm will attend the selling and shipping of the packed meat and the profits will be divided at the end of the season. The company will start with a capital stock of $6,000. DIPPING HOGS By Dr. Willis B. Lincoln, Veterinary Inspector in charge of U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry. Keeping hogs clean is a very necessary part of their care, and every hog yard should be provided with a dipping tank, or better yet a cement hog wallow constructed as follows: For use during warm weather make wallow at least six feet wide and eight feet long, one end sloping so as to give the hogs easy access and egress. Make it deep enough so the dipping solution will be about 12 inches deep. It is best to build of cement. For use on warm days in winter the ordinary dipping tank would be best made in the following manner: Eight feet long on top, four feet on bottom, four feet deep and two feet wide. It will be necessary to drive hogs through this tank during the winter, but the hogs will use the wallow themselves during the summer. In this wallow a solution of from one to two per cent. of any of the various coal tar disinfectants should be kept all the time. In this way the hogs will naturally dip themselves, and in so doing will rid themselves of the following conditions: Hog Lice—Where hogs are not properly dipped or greased it is almost impossible to find one free of lice. A lousy hog is harder to fatten than one free from lice, and why feed a hog in order to raise lice? Free him of these pests and let all the feed go to make increased size and weight. Besides dipping the hog, it is important also to clean up the hog yard and pens and disinfect them with the same disinfectant. 2. Mange—This is caused by a very small parasite that lives in the skin. It multiplies very rapidly, causes violent itching, and produces small blisters. The skin appears red and inflamed. The pain and irritation usually cause the hog to act restless, and in many cases the appetite is poor and a very general unthrifty condition exists. Dipping the hog in the two per cent. solution of some coal tar disinfectant as mentioned above will remedy this trouble. 3. Pitch Mange—Eczema—This is usually found among hogs that are kept in filth pens and yards and are poorly fed. It also sometimes occurs in hogs that are kept on marsh lands, owing, probably, to some irritating properties in the soil. The symptoms are very much the same as those of mange, only perhaps more intense. Sloughing of the skin may also occur. The treatment should be preventive. Keep the hogs nclean yards and pens, avoiding such conditions as might irritate the skin, and dip in a one or two per cent. solution of some coal tar disinfectant. 4. Urticaria—Nettle rash or Diamond skin disease is caused by irritation of the skin by lice and fifth, and by using irritating solutions for dipping purp ses. There are plenty of non-irritating coal tar dips to use without using irritating solutions such as kerosene emulsion, etc. The symptoms of this disease are diamond-shaped blotches on the skin which come quickly, almost over night, and are more numerous on the ears, sides of the neck, back of arms, or wherever the skin is thin. They appear as swollen red spots and vary in size up to an inch across. Because of the irritation the hog will scratch and rub the inflamed skin and is restless, and there is also a noticeable lack of thriftiness. The treatment is to keep the hog in clean quarters while growing, avoid the use of irritating preparations on the skin, and dip in a one per cent. solution of some coat tar disinfectant. At the beginning on an attack of urticaria a physic should be given, such as epsom salts in the soft food, about one to three ounces to the hog, according to the size. In all the diseases above mentioned always clean up the hog pens, sheds and yard thoroughly and disinfect same with the solution used for dipping. By doing this, and either dipping the hogs or letting the hogs dip themselves in the cement hog wallow as spoken of above, the farmer will not only cure the aforementioned conditions and diseases but will greatly aid his hogs in escaping hog cholera as well as other contagious and infectious diseases. He will then have a thrifty bunch of hogs that will turn every ounce of food into meat instead of just existing. There are large numbers of hogs coming to market with the various skin troubles mentioned, and as the skin has to be removed this causes quite a loss to the slaughterer as well as to the feeder because the hogs do not make the gains they should from the food fed to them. Let every farmer resolve to put in a dipping plant of some kind, and the results will be so gratifying to him that I venture the assertion that he will never be without one in the future and will urge all of his friends to install one at once.

EDITOR TURNER ANSWERS THE CALL (Continued from page 1.) good advice he could for the working out of the difficult problem that confronted them. He leaves to mourn their loss a sister, Mrs. Smith, and family, a number of cousins and a host of friends. Our loss is heaven's gain. Why should man's high aspiring mind Burn in him with so proud a breath, When all this haughty views can find In this world, yield to death? The fair, the brave, the vain, the wise, The rich, the poor, and great and small, Are each but worme' anatomies, To strow his quiet hall. Resolutions on behalf of the Bar Association were read by Mr. R. L. Mayfield as follows: Whereas, it has pleased the Alwise and Ever-present God to remove from our midst Brother J. Thomas Turner, this community at large has suffered a loss of one of its most prominent men. Previous to Mr. Turner making this his home, he had been for many years a teacher in the city schools of Memphis, Tenn., where he began as an ordinary man in the system, but by faithfulness to duty and devotion to the cause, he soon won his way to the highest position of usefulness and efficiency. From his earliest manhood he became a factor in religious and political affairs. For many years the deceased was a most influential member of Beale Street Baptist Church, Memphis, Tenn., and on coming to this city he identified himself with the church interests of this city and was a prominent member of his church in this place. As a politician, the Honorable J. Thomas Turner was ever alert and active to the interest of the Republican party and was a national character, having attended every national convention for a number of years. Perhaps Brother J. Thos. Turner showed his best powers and devoted his best energies to secret orders and was high in the Councils of U. B. F. and S. M. T., the Masons, Odd Fellows, Pythians and in fact all organizations with which he was connected. He was for a number of years Grand Attorney for the Pythians of Tennessee. It was a peculiar part in the life of Brother J. Thomas Turner, when he alled himself with any organization he immediately forged himself to the front, and it was from the fact that he was the man that knew and was a good adviser. In the death of this devoted, member we have lost a teacher of experience, a newspaper writer of national repute, a lawyer of ability, a national politician, a safe and wise adviser in the many and sundry organizations with which he was connected. Our legal association has lost an earnest advocate. Be it Resolved. That we, the members of the Nashville Bar Association, extend to the bereaved family and friends of our deceased brother our heart, felt sympathy in this their bereavement and we suffer with them in their irreparable lost. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and published in our papers. Committee of Nashville Bar Association. Resolutions on behalf of the Metoka 'Class of Mr./ Turner's Sunday-school were read by Rev. J. B. Ridley as follows: Brother Pastor—We, the members of the Metoka Class of the Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday-School, beg leave to submit the following: We find that the grim reaper, Death, has called from labor to reward, and it pleases Almighty God to take from our presence our esteemed friend and brother, Hon. J. Thos. Turner. Whereas, The death of a Christian is the birth of a soul in eternal bliss, and Whereas, God has not staid the monster death that separates the soul from the body, be it Resolved, That we bow in humble submission to Him who holds nations in his hands, masters individuals and death all things right. Be it further Resolved, That we who are Christians let the light of God's righteousness shine out through us until the unsaved who were associated with our beloved brother in this life will yield themselves servants to Him who hath redeemed us that they may with us meet Brother Turner and enjoy eternal life with him in the Kingdom of our God.

We spend our years as a tale that is told. These words came from one of the most colossal men that ever walked on the face of the earth. Poet, statesman, scholar and prophet—Moses, your know, chose to suffer with the people of God rother than to enjoy the pleasures of earth for a season. The speaker reviewed at length the life of Moses. Some men have honour thrust upon them; some inherit it; others earn it. This Moses did; this our beloved Brother Turner did. All of these honors you are bestowing upon our departed brother were earned by him by persistent, simple living. Brother Turner could not be content in the school room. He could not realize a full development, and was soon found in business and then in law. I do not agree with all men about law. Moses was preserved by God that he might give to the people the law. He cited cases that had come under his observation where the deceased had used his influence as a Christian lawyer to settle disputes and brawls between his brethren. Mr. Turner was a faithful worker in the church, and lived his life in a way to demand the admiration of the people of the community. Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the United States Treasury, said: "My friends, I am here because I feel it my duty to be here. I consider it a great privilege to be in the city on the occasion of the death of my friend, J. Thomas Turner. He was a man small of statue but a giant; when the rights of his people were at stake, the rights of his people were at stake." Mr. Napier review the life of the deceased as a citizen. He said he had never known Mr. Turner to do an act that was not right. Rev. Luke Mason spoke in glowing terms of the deceased. Mr. P. F. Hill, State Grand Master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. and United Sons and Daughters of Abraham, spoke of his long acquaintance with Mr. Turner. He said they had agreed years ago to die friends, regardless of their differences in political questions. I have traveled with him going to meetings everywhere for twenty-five years, and I have never heard him utter an oath. ```markdown ```
