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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

A sister from our side;
Just in the noontime of her day,

"We cannot tell who next may fall
Beneath the chastening rod;
One must be first, but let us all
Prepare to meet our God."

FRANKLIN NOTES.
In the presence of an overflowing crowd at the A. M. E. Church, Bishop Evans Tyree delivered a noble sermon. About 30 years ago, Bishop Tyree was stationed at Franklin to take charge of Shorters Chapel A. M. E. Church. During his stay here he made many friends who at this present time regret to see him leave on a visit to our city. Under his administration he erected the Parsonage which stands as a model of his good work. After having such good thoughts from his text from the first chapter of John. 1st verse, it brought to memory the old by gone days, the old time shouts and reviving spirit of Christian love. After seven the Bishop and Presiding Elder Jackson were carried to Mrs. Rosa Morton for dinner. After dinner they were carried to visit Mrs. Caroline Scott, Bro. Charley Johnson, who are some of the oldest citizens of Franklin and of Shorters Chapel. On January 20, 1913 Mrs. Caroline Scott was surprised by the members of Shorters Chapel and other friends by a presenment of presents in honor of her birthday which filled her with joy to think that she still lived in the mind of her many friends and members of her church. Mrs. Scott has lived an honorable life and reached the age of 90 years, still retaining faith in Christ and leaning on His arms for refuge. Mr. Johnson, who was stormed by many of the members of Shorters Chapel was also overjoyed. The visiting ministers of the day were Rev. Anderson, of Nashville, Rev. A. N. C. Williams, Rev. D. J. Mitchell and A. J. Leath, pastor.

The Thomas Bill.
Bill No. 269, introduced by Mr. Thomas in the Legislature Tuesday to allow prisoners to ride in the smoking cars of both white and colored passengers is a most unreasonable bill. In the first place, Negroes are not provided with a smoker under the "Jim Crow" system in this state. They are not even provided with separate closets for men and women. In the majority of cases only a part of a coach is set aside for colored passengers and men and women, the railroad hands, the train butcher, the flagman, the conductor, and the private detective if he happens to be on the train; all must find room in this part of a coach. If convicts are to be added somebody will have to ride on top of the lender. This most desirable position would of course be given to the Negro, as he is the preferred passenger.
But granting that first-class and sample accommodations 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 though they have access to any part of the train, they also paid for the privilege of smoking when they 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 pigeon hole to remain for a period of nine hundred and ninety-nine years and then be tabled. But such measures 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, Editor of the Nashville Clarion, the craft has lost one of its ablest members; the state, one of its foremost citizens and the race one of its strongest champions. Mr. Turner was a man of many good qualities, but if one good quality in a man may surpass another we would say that his love for civic rightseousness stood out pre-eminently. 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 best proof that he was always conscientious 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 humanity.
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 County delegates to the Assembly elected by purchased Negro votes is to absurd for decent men's consideration, and will not profit the enemies of the regular Democracy. In this final struggle for a lease of life the illy-white Republicans and Independent Democrats are endeavoring to stave off the inevitable. But the die is cast, and the people are set in their minds.
We submit that too many poll taxes were paid in our recent election, but we would not like the task to determine what faction the greater offenders.
Those whose poll taxes were paid for them were not all Negroes either and the attempt to put the "Scarlet letter" on him is meanness of the
rankest kind. But this is another evidence of the kind of fruits these fusion orchards bring forth. Anything to win is their slogan, honesty and integrity 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 hungry office-seeker. The charge that Negroes are not concerned about 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 market and seeing the number of young Negroes who are there with the produce out of their farms and truck gardens. No one wh o wants to be honest can be made believe that a people who are not concerned about the welfare 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 Engine 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 little chance to acquire an education, but he did have an inherent right to be honest and energetic. By so living he made many friends and once you knew him you were a lifetime friend. His untimely death came as a great shock to this community for all men John E. 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.

REORGANIZATION OF IOWAS
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM.
Under the old plan Iowa had one State University and two other institutions of higher education struggling to become universities. Under the new plan Iowa has a strengthened University, a stronger agricultural college, and a stronger normal school, each with its scope defined as follows:
First, at the University is a College of Liberal Arts surrounded by a group of colleges which offer, in the main, professional training. These are a graduate college; a college of education for the training of high school teachers and school superintendents and principals; a college of fine arts; a college of medicine, and a college of homeopathic medicine equipped to gvie sufficient training in medicine, the object being quality rather than quantity; and colleges of law, dentistry and pharmacy.
Second, the scope of the Iowa State College, of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts at Ames includes courses in professional engineering, a wide range of instruction in agriculture and in veterinary medicine. Supplementary to these it will offer work in agricultural extension and short courses and it will also develop along trade-school lines.

WOODROW WILSON'S SPEECH$S ON BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT
Governor Wilson has always posed, in very rare and enviable measure, the gifts of public speech. He made a number of excellent speeches during the campaign. But it may be said with some assurance that he has never spoken with such wisdom and power as in a series of addresses since his election and his return from the month of vacation in Bermuda. Three speeches are so notable, in their exposition of the relations between business and government in the United States, that they ought to be put in some form which would make them available for careful study. The first of these, early in December, was a speech before the Southern Society in New York. The second was delivered in the city where he was born, Staunton, Va., on his fifty-sixth birthday, December 28. The third was a speech before the Commercial Club at Chicago, on January 11. The condensed reports have wholly failed to do justice to these remarkable addresses. In the case, for instance, of the Chicago speech, the New York newspapers printed a meager column or so of telegraphed extracts, while the Chicago Tribune gave six columns to the unabridged speech. These discourses are in perfect temper, and cannot be said to contain any attacks upon the so-called "captains of industry." But they show with a wealth of convincing analysis, what economic freedom really means in point of principle. From "The Progress of the World," in the American Review of Reviews for February.
THE FAMOUS BAGDAD RAILWAY. Turkey's biggest and most important railway project is the line which, starting from Konia, the terminus of the Anatolian Railway from Stamboul, 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 metropolis of Syria, Mosul, on the site of ancient Nineveh, and 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, Missner Pasha, has an enviable record of twenty-eight years in railway construction in Turkey. The 350 miles from Bagdad to Bussorah, as a consequence of political jealousies, will probably be participated in equally by Germany, Russia, France and Great Britain. The Germans have a very liberal kilometerage guarantee for their part of the line, which is being put through as a standard gauge of the most substantial description. There are no great engineering problems to be solved at any point, but the expense of transporting building materials and the absence of stone ballasting rock in all of lower Mesopotamia is going to make construction very expensive.
The writer recently traversed nearly the entire route of the Bagdad Railway by caravan, finding either active construction or the final surveys in progress at all points. Unless the Balkan war may encourage Arab uprisings through draining this part of the country of troops, it is very likely that the Bosphorus and the Persian Gulf will be in touch by rail by the beginning of 1917, at which time the completion of two of the great Mesopotamian irrigation projects will further open the way for their ancient cradle of civilization to come again to its own.

THE NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY LAW AND THE "FREEDOM OF THE PRESS."
There are three requirements in the newspaper publicity law: that the ownership, financial control and editorial management shall be made public semi-annually; that all editorial or reading matter for which compensation is received shall be marked "Paid Advertising;" that daily newspapers shall make semi-annual sworn statements of their circulation.
To assert that such provisions interfere with the freedom of the press, is to make a strange perversion of

the word "freedom." Let us reflect upon the contention of the critics of this law. The freedom of the press differs in nt respect from the liberty of the individual citizen. The publication of a newspaper entitles a man to no greater rights than the ordinary citizen enjoys. If a law requiring the owners of a newspaper to disclose their identity is an infringement upon the freedom of the press, then the rough practices act which prohibits the circulation of anonymous campaign literature is an abridgement of personal liberty.
If the view of the critics shall prevail, then it is unconstitutional to require that the name of the packer shall be placed on every can of meat or fruit. If the newspaper owner can conceal his identity, then it is proper for an ordinary citizen to conceal himself behind a mask and stand upon the street corner voicing his opinions of his fellow citizens. If it be un-American to compell publicity of newspaper ownership, then it is also unAmerican to compel publicity of bank ownership.
That provision of the law relating to paid advertising does not apply to matter that is plainly advertising, but only to matter that is in appearance reading or editorial matter. Shall we admit that maintenance of the freedom of the press requires that a newspaper shall be protected in its privilege of printing paid advertising matter in the guise of new articles or editorial comment? If so, then it is wrong to require that a man who takes money for his services in a political campaign shall file a sworn statement as required by the up-to-date corrent practices act.
If it is unconstitutional to forbid a newspaper to deceive its subscribers, then it is also wrong to infringe upon personal liberty by making it a crime to sell watered milk. In fact, adulterated news is more harmful to the public than adulterated milk. The editor who protests against a law that forbids the publication of paid editorials without that fact being stated, should also protest against the law that forbids carrying concealed weapons. The right to bear arms is expressly reserved by the constitution but probably every state in the Union forbids carrying concealed weapons. The secretly paid editorial is a weapon no less dangerous than the stiltetter.—From "The News paper Publicity Law," by the Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., in the American Review of Reviews for February.
THE MAKING OF A COLORED NEWSPAPER.
Perhaps there is no work more interesting than the making of a colored newspaper. Certainly it is a most difficult task. For years, the Dallas Express management has undertaken the task of getting up a newspaper for Negroes and by Negroes. Realizing that on account of the rapid growth of American prejudice, the colored man could not for a long time expect a square deal in cold type, we set about the task of employing reporters, agents and correspondents who were in no way influenced by the white press, with a view to finally reaching the news of importance to the Negro, which he could hope to give the world through the colored press alone.
With the opening up of our hundreds of branch offices came the sad intelligence of the unpreparedness of our attaches. Our real work we found was not in securing the news but, securing the men to man the enterprise. That is the real work today, after a struggle of over twenty years. The good reporter must be constant, in season and out of season, braving the elements and dangers incidental to newspaper life, always keeping in 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 delivering and collecting for the paper, without taking into account the hardships attending the work. The staff correspondents who are worthy of their salt must keep abreast of the times, having in mind at all times that they are catering to a discerning and scrutinizing pulpic; that would just as soon hurt a brick as a bouquet, and whose patience would not endure incompetence, ignorance or inertness. To get this information around and impress it is the work of the man at headquarters.
In our case the managing editor is the man, and he has done what he could. He is convinced, however, that through the accomplishment of his undertakings only may we hope to see circulated among the colored people a real newspaper, which has in it the merit which will make the publication permanent. The Dallas Express has not attained unto our ideals, perhaps no Negro newspaper in the country has. Let us all continue our effort and the future will crown our work with shining success—the outlook is big with promise—Dallas Express.
AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL IN THE BALKANS
In Salonica is an industrial school modeled on the type of Hampton Institute. Its principal, the veteran missionary, Dr. J. H. House, writes of it as follows in the Southern Workman:
"Besides the academic department, there are also the farming, carpentry, masonry, tailoring and shotmaking departments. Farming is the occupation in which every pupil gets some instruction, as all are obliged to study the theory of agriculture; and each boy in the trades works at least one day a week on the farm for the sake of health and physical development. Farming in our school includes gardening, horticulture and silk-culture; besides general farm work. There are over 2,000 mulberry trees on the farm for raising leaves for feeding silk-worms. Our silk cocoons are the finest in the market. In the vineyards there are about 6,000 grape vines and a good many fruit trees—almonds, apples, pears, plums, apricots, cherries, persimmons and willnuts—upon the land which ten years ago was a barren, treeless waste.

most troble were the graduates of their gymnasia, who looked to the Government to supply them to positions either as clerks in the various departments or as teachers in the national schools, and as there were not enough places to go around, the disappointed youth frequented the cafes and winehouses at night and were the disturbers of the peace of the capital of the country. 'The craftsmens,' he said, 'are our best citizens. They work in the day time and sleep at night.' It seems to fall to Americans to teach the nations of Europe the dignity of labor, and this school is the only institution in all that region which teaches, as it ought to be taught, this great Christian doctrine.'

The chief object of worship on the island was the Sacred Rock, a giant boulder of red sandstone, some fifty feet high and two hundred feet long. The next in importance was the Temple of the Sun, which stood close by the Sacred Rock. The supreme oracle was believed to reside in the Rock. The face of this wac covered with plates of solid gold, and inste ad a natural recess was placed an aster of gold; the niches as well as the approaches to the sacred enclosure were decorated with lifesize figures of gold.
One of the largest and most note-worthy decorative objects found was a magnificent ceremonial drinking cup, nearly twelve inches high of hammered gold, wrought into a striking portrait. One of the valuable textile objects was found in a stine chest. This was a woman's porcelain of extraordinary beauty and most wonderful in the number of fantastic patterns it contained. Though four or five centuries old, it 'is as fresh and brilliant in color as when it left the weaver's loom. This remarkable garment, which is equal to the finest gobelins of the present time, is ornamented with thousands of unique squares showing geometric, bird and animal designs. The bottom border is festooned with spectacular figures of Inca warriors.
A NEW TYPE OF INDUSTRIAL MISSION
Alexander G. Frazer, of Ceylon, outlines below a type of mission training school which the churches promise to establish in that island.
Many industrial missions have simply taught their pupils such things as carpentry, boot-making, printing, etc. We do not aim at that; we will teach agriculture until each man can cultivate the field allotted to him at a profit, so that the villagers committed to his care in the future may be able to turn to him for advice and counsel in their troubles, or, when the monsoon fails, find in him one who can help them with a knowledge of irrigation. In his teaching he should have the agricultural point of view common to over ninety per cent of his pupils. It should be remembered that the agriculturumwyp remembered that the agricultural question in India is the question of all questions. In that crowded population there are always thousands on the starvation line, and if the rainy season fails to bring the required quantity of moisture, millions will suffer from famine. It will be seen what a tremendous blessing in such a case the Christian messengers might be could they bring a greater food-producing capacity to the people to whom they go. We will teach also the diagnosis of the commoner illnesses which afflict the country, and the proper use of most easily obtainable medicines; also all matters included under the head of "First Aid. Incidentally it may be remarked that in this training of men to be useful and sympathetic with the life and needs of their own communities lies the secret of national education. A man is denominationalized by his education when it makes him out of place and useless among his own peo ple. He is nationalized by it just in so far as it tends to make him under stand and be useful to them in the conditions in which they are placed.—Southern Workman.
REPUBLICAN ATTACKS 'NEGRO
(Continued from Page 1.)
7,000 voters' poll taxes were paid, but does not attempt to say how many were pold by their side. The aim appears to be to create the impression that the Negroes who voted for the regular Democrats did so because their taxes were paid.

Y. M. L. C. Club.
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.

TWIG@ DEAD BODY FOUND.
(Continued from Page L.)
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:

Special to the Globe

THE NEGRO FARMER
The Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School at Nashville was not established for resident students alone, nor was it intended to influence classes only. The School was built by the state for the benefit of all the citizens to whom it may extend its influence. No class of citizenship will derive greater advantages from the existence of the Agricultural & Industrial State Normal School at Nashville than the Negro Farmer, if he will only appreciate and take advantage of the opportunity which the school offers him. The school means to keep in close touch with the Negro Farmer of the state. It invites him to attend, at the school, a farmers' conference once each year. At these conferences men of experience and training will address farmers upon the latest and most approved methods of farming, point out to them facts of importance and show the cultural methods which mean larger quantities of a better quality of crops and hence larger returns to the farmer.
The school will send lecturers into their communities to give instructions similar to those given at the farmers' institutes on the school grounds. Thus the school intends to help the farmer and asks only that the farmer interest himself in his own behalf and put himself in an attitude to receive the instructions which the school offers.
This letter is addressed to every Negro farmer in the state of Tennesse see and to every offender of farmers' organizations and fair associations.
The school stands for the material advancement of the farmer and every Negro farmer in the state, whether he ous land or not, is requested to send his name and address.
Purchase a one cent postal card, Put on it your full name, the name of your Post. Office, Rural Route number, Box number, name of County, name of State, and address it to the Department of Agriculture, Agricultural & Industrial State Normal School, Nasuville, Tenn.

SUPERINTENDENT J. 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?

Percentage of population attending
school, 59. That is, 41 per cent of

and over, 1,621,179.
Total number of illiterates ten years
of age and over, 221,071.

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. Try it.

EDITOR TURNER ANSWERS THE CALL

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.

I was pronounced to be in the last stage of tuberculosis when Dr. W. F. Black first called on me, several months ago. I was having hemorrhages lasting several hours each time, and was sinking fast. I had been given up by other physicians, when Dr. Black began his treatment. After two or three treatments he succeeded in stopping the hemorrhages. I had a very bad cough and got little or no rest. My cough also began to get better and finally left me entirely. My family, as well as myself give Dr. Black credit for saving my life.

Dear Doctor:
To Whom It May Concern:
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to take from our midst our Sir Knight and brother, J. Thomas Turner, and we as loyal subjects bow in humble submission to his holy will. Brother Turner was a loyal member of Centennial Lodge No. 6 U. B. F., Past Grand Secretary of the State of Tennessee, a member of the National Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. of the World, and past Secretary of the Board of Endowment of Tennessee. The Board owes its existence to his master brain, as he was instrumental in helping to frame the By-Laws and Constitution of the Board; he figured most prominently as a fraternal leader in all the secret orders of the United States. He was a professional man that took his place among the leading men of the race, he was an educator, lawyer, journalist, merchant and a great literary man possessing poetic qualities. Be it therefore

house is not crowded because the relatives could not be located in time to make an earlier announcement of the hour of the funeral. 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.
