Meets Here in July.
Sunday was a great day among the Pythians of this city; the occasion being the annual Thanksgiving Celebration. The meeting was held this year at the Ryman Auditorium, where several thousand members of the Order and friends assembled to witness the services.
The committee on arrangements had made extensive preparations for this celebration; this was due to the fact that the officers of the Order in Tennessee are making a whirlwind campaign throughout the state to increase the membership by the meeting of the Grand Lodge, which convenes in this city in July.
Many nw faces were seen in the line of march Sunday as the result of the campaign that has been so vigorously pushed by Grand Chancellor Crawford and his deputies in Nashville. The sermon Sunday was preached by Rev. W. S. Ellington, pastor of the First Baptist Church on Spruce street. He delivered an able
Jourseon on the subject "Man, His Developments and His Achievements." He emphasized the necessity of the proper development of man's intellectual, moral and physical power, and impressed the need of unity of purpose in accomplishing any good undertaking. Dr. Ellington in his usual logical way urged the members of the Order to live up to every principle of the Order, which he said would ultimately lead men toward Christianity. The sermon made a good impression, and many were heard to express the determination to be more punctual in their lodge affairs and to take a more active interest in the church. Dr. S. S. Caruthers, master of ceremonies, made opening remarks, touching upon the history of the Order in this city. He spoke of the small beginning and congratulated the members of the various orders on what had been accomplished d. The Flisk Orchestra rendered choice selections. The exercises were opened by singing "All hall th power of Jesus' name." Rev. Fields, pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist Church, delivered the invocation.
The Thanksgiving Proclamation was read by Wm. Watterson. A special musical treat was a solo by Mr. Rolland Hayes, of Boston, Mass. It was by mere chance that the members of the Order and several others had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Hayes. He came to Nashville to render a concert at Fisk University Friday night previous to this time, and it was through the earnest soliciting of Prof. J. W. Work that he consented to sing a solo Sunday afternoon.
The Nashville Choral Society and Fisk and Meharry Quartets contributed excellent music to the occasion. Dr. J. P. Crawford, Grand Chancellor, reviewed the history of the Order in the state and congratulated Nashville upon the good showing made.
The celebration ended Monday night with a grand Pythian entertainment at the Majestic Theater.
TO PRACTICE LAW IN BOSTON.
Washington, D. C., April 1.—Mr. William H. Lewis, whose resignation as Assistant Attorney-General of the United States, is to take effect April 1, is to return to the practice of law in Boston. He will take up the profession alone, and will not form a partnership, as has been reported in some quarters. According to the officials of the Department of Justice, the cases involving Indian deprepation claims have been practically completed, and the place will not be filled. The few claims remaining of the docket will be assigned to the Assistant practicing before the Court of Claims. The position occupied by Mr. Lewis, therefore, stand ablished. There was a host of colored lawyers out for the place. Mr. Lewis is made a very capable official and his departure will be regretted by all Washingtonians. The race is grateful to the eloquent advocate for the prominent part he took in exposing the anti-Negro proclivities of Judge Hook, of Kansas, which led to the latter's defeat for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, to which post President Taft was upon the eve of assigning him.
Mr. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, who was a member of the party with Dr. Booker T. Washington on his tour of the west, spent one day in Nashville this week, en route to Western Tennessee and Mississippi.
SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR ROGER WILLIAMS.
Special to the Globe.
Paris, Tenn., March 31—Rev. Wm. Haynes, D. D., Nashville, the financial agent of the Educational Board of the Tennessee People's State Convention, was in Paris yesterday and preached three sermons: one at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which Rev. G. P. Woodson is pastor. All the services were largely attended.
In the afternoon the sermon was presented by Dr. Haynes in the presence of a packed house of Paris citizens. At each meeting Rev. J. T. Shelby lent his presence to the occasion. In the afternoon the enthusiasm for the Educational Board ran high. A liberal contribution was made for Roger Williams. Collections and subscriptions ran up to over $75. Dr. Haynes is beginning his tour over the state in the interest of education, and if the beginning of Sunday is to be considered, it is believed that the $6,000 campaign which is to be sent up the fifth Sunday in June, will be a crowning success.
OLD SOLDIER DEAD.
Hon. W. D. Kelly, of Columbia, Tenn., died last Tuesday, March 25, at the age of 69. His funeral services were conducted by Revs. Ivory and Glimore at the Mt. Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church. Hon. Kelly was born in Columbia, but was later, during the days of slavery, carried to New Bedford, Mass., by his father, Rev. Edmond Kelly, the first ordained Baptist minister in the state of Tennessee. While in Massachusetts he had a chance to attend school. He spent three trying years in the Civil War, after which he went West and lived until the year 1905, when he returned to Columbia, his native home, where he lived until the time of his death. He leaves a wife, a brother, Prof. J. H. Kelly, and two cousins, Profs. R. G. and J. W. Johnson, and friends to mourn his departure.
DR. J. A. WITHERSPOON WILL ADDRESS Y. M. C. A. SUNDAY 4 O'CLOCK
Four o'clock Sunday afternoon the Young Men's Christian Association will be addressed by Dr. J. A. Witherpoon, president of the American Medical Association. The Y. M. C. L. C. Quartette will render two of their choice selections. It is hoped that a large number of men will be present to hear this special message. The Committee of Management of the Y. M. C. A. met Monday night and considered some important matters pertaining to the Association. The Secretary made a brief report about the condition of the book. The three Bible classes and three shop meetings which have been conducted for the past six months have made a good showing. The three days membership campaign pulled off March 7, 8 and 10 resulted in 15 new members for the Association. They are still coming in. The One Cent Savings Bank gave the Association 100 membership ticket cases which are being placed in the hands of financial members along with their tickets. The work is in a prosperous condition. More will be said later.
PHYLLIIS WHEATLEY CLUB CHAR
TERED-PLANS LAID FOR
THEM
The Phyllis Wheatley Club has taken out its charter, and the officers are arranging a grand spring carnival to raise sufficient means to for their home for the aged poor of the Negro race. They will provide dinners and suppers as well as lunches for the public.
In the way of amusement there will be prize contests in speaking, singing, vaudeville acts, photo plays, piecanninny sparring contests and comical capers of innocent amusement during the entire week. The Phyllis Whatley has done much among the unfortunate poor among our people, and the good and charitably-inclined women of the race will be assisted by the public-spirited men to raise the thousand dollars they need to pay the balance on their Home. The officers of the club are Mrs. G. L. Jackson, president; Mrs. Ellen Tyrse, vice president; Mrs. J. H. Hale, secretary; Miss A. K.

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY APRIL 4, 1913.
WRITES ENTERTAININGLY OF CONDITIONS AS RELATE TO NEGROES
Many Encouraging Things Reported—Does Not Come Up to South—The Sunny Cline Offers Best Inductions—Find Favorable Sentiment Toward Negro Soldiers.
North Yakima, Washington, March 14.—In my letter from Helena, I discussed conditions as I had found them up to that point. I think it well for me to add this additional word as to what I found in Butte and Helena. In both of these cities one will meet some individuals who are as wide awake and progressive as can be found anywhere in the country. In Helena, especially, one finds evidence of intelligence and culture among the colored people that is surprising. Their occupations, however, in most cases do not, as I have said, compare with their intelligence, but the leaders have on foot a plan to organize the people in each community throughout the state in a way that will call their attention to the business opportunities that are before the race. In both Butte and Helena as well as at one or two other point, they have already organized Negro Business Leagues and are planning to have the state of Montana represented at the National League meeting to be held in Philadelphia August 20, 21, 22, 1913.
As one travels still further in the direction of the Pacific Coast, conditions among our people change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but on the whole for the better. I spent three pretty busy days in Spokane and spoke nine times to various kinds of audiences. One piece of information which was given me by both white and colored people, especially by whites in Spokane, interested me very much, and that was that the 25th Infantry, a Negro regiment of the United States Army, made a better record when in camp at Fort Wright near Spokane than any soldiers that have ever camped there. One of the members of the Chamber of Commerce told me that the citizens of Spokane were practically unanimous in their regret that the colored soldiers were replaced by white ones. The members of the 25th Infantry made an exceptional record for fine and orderly conduct. It was very noticeable in Spokane that the reputation which these soldiers made had gone a long way toward giving the white people a higher regard for the colored people in that vicinity. There was another occurrence in Spokane which interested me, and that was to find that the Federation of Women's Clubs of that city tendered me a reception, at which time I spoke to them, that the colored club to be recognized in this told that it is a usual thing for the colored club to be recognized in this way.
As one goes further West he meets an increasing number of persons of our race who have taken up homesteads, or who are buying land and are succeeding in cultivating the soil. These almost without exception are doing well. One finds in a city like Spokane a few colored people who are succeeding in the professions and business, and these men are well thought of. The principal drawback, however, to the people in the city grows out of the fact that they are barred, as I have stated in my former communication, from the trades. It seems to be pretty well understood in this part of the world that a colored laborer must be either a porter, a messenger, or something of that kind. About forty miles from North Yakima there is a cotony of colored people who have bought land and are doing well as farmers. One colored lady told me that she raised last year over a hundred turkeys on her ranch. Notwithstanding these farmers are succeeding from an economic point of view, I can easily discover in talking to them that they miss the churches and lodges which they were accustomed to attending in the sections where they lived before coming out here.
As I have stated, as one goes further West in the direction of Seattle and Tacoma, it is noticeable that conditions so far as the Negro is concerned seem to grow better. Seattle evidently has the largest colored population of any city either in Washington of Oregon, and among them are some mighty thrifty, ambitious and successful individuals. While in Washington one meets with large numbers of white people from every Southern state; as a rule they are of a pretty high type, and many of these Southern white people are among the best and most useful friends the Negro has, but there
MEHARRY Y. M. C. A. COMPLETES
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
The Meharry Y. M. C. A. was treated to an address of first rank by Dr. A. M. Townsend on Sunday afternoon, 30 ultimo. The subject of the address was "The Mission of the Doctor."
NASHVILLE GLOBES GO LIKE HOT CAKES
BOYS CLEAN UP FIRST EDITION AND CRY FOR MORE--PEOPLE SHOW APPRECIATION
CANOE CAPSIZED-THREE YOUNG MEN DROWNED IN BACK WATERS
For the last few-weeks the Nashville Globe has been going like hot cakes, and as a result the supply has been exhausted. The company has been increasing the number and making an effort to supply every want, but so rapid has been the increase that the boys have had to be turned away without any papers. This is not a pleasant thing for the boys, for they feel that they are robbed of an opportunity to win the prize that is offered to them.
The management is also regretful that such a thing happens, but the unexpected came upon them and there was no way to avoid it. The people are showing a high appreciation for the splendid services rendered by the Nashville Globe. Several wants had to be refused last week because the boys had cleaned up and were at that time standing around the office grumbling about papers.
The management promises, however, not to be caught in that predication any more, and in the future a
Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock four young men were riding in the back water at the head of Crutcher street in East Nashville. The canoe became entangled in a strong current and was overturned. All four young occupants were thrown into the water, which was several feet deep, and before assistance could reach them, three of them had stranded to death. The fourth was rescued by Mr. Manles. Those drowned were Ira Barr, Nicholas Foster, Robert Walker each 15 years of age. Chas, Duncan, who was rescued, lives at 9 Clalborne street.

Mr. Williams, president of 81 has served in that capacity for 12 years consecutively; he has held it annually with out any opposition. So well does he conduct the society and so strict is he in the business transactions that the members of the society will not permit any one else to succeed him.
MR. W. W. WILLIAMS,
President Benevolent Order No. 81 for
Twelve Years.
A good many of the other officers
have served in their several capac-
ties for many years, but none has
been honored as often as Mr. Willi-
ams.
The installation ceremonies were
performer by Mrs. Lewis, Prof. Dav-
vis, and Mr. Erwin. After the cer-
monies the president took the gavel
and introduced Rev. NUoah Cooper,
speaker at length and gave a general
review of his life, and asked the mem-
bers of the society to join with him;
and others to rid Nashville of all evils
Mr. I. T. Bryant, Secretary of the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union was introduced by Mr. Williams, who said that Mr. Bryant had made a great record as manager of the Publishing House on the Square. Mr. Bryant made short but forceful and logical talk. He said he knew Mr. Cooper was long winded
sufficient supply of papers will be rendered to supply every want. The boys are determined that Frank Bosworth shall not win the next prize, which will be awarded April 26, the contest begins this week and already vengeance has been sworn against Bosworth, and if he wins the second prize, he can truly say that he has been going some.
The Globe management is endeavoring to give the people all the news impartially without getting into any click or clan, and it is this kind of service that is receiving the plaudits of the people.
The office is kept open on Saturday late for the benefit of the working people, and in order that the boys may have an opportunity to get their papers for the up-town trade.
These little fellows are going to put the Globe in every nook and corner of the city, and when you hear them coming, crying, "Nashville Globe," you will know that they are in earnest, and mean to make a sale at every door.
were recovered between 12 and 1 oclock and taken to Undertaker A. N. Johnson's establishment. Robert Walker was buried Thursday. Ira Barr will be buried Friday.
Chas Duncan, in speaking of the matter, said that he and the other boys were out in the canoe to take a ride and did not notice any swift current or eddies of water before leaving the bank, and before realizing their danger they found the canoe uncontrollable. He thinks that the boat became entangled in a current and that the high winds forced it to capsize. He is grief-trickened over the death of his comrades and it was difficult for friends to console him.
and he did not come with the intention of having anything to say.
He emphasized the importance of lodge-work and said of the lodge and church that it was the question in his mind as to which would perform and do toward the people in the most affective way.
Mr. A. N. Johnson, the popular undertaker and proprietor of the Majestic Thearte was neft speaker. Mr. Johnson put speCIAL strength on the Negro utilizing money, in a way to be of benefit to the race. He urged the members of the society to select some member of their number to invest their money so that its services would be of benefit to the members of the society, and in all come to benefit others.
Rev. Ellis and Mr. Ewing made short talks. Refreshments were in abundance. Benevolent Society No. 81 is among the several organizations in the city that have a large bank account to their credit.
ODD FELLOWS HOLD QUARTER
LY MEETING
The Odd Fellows of the city held their quarterly meeting Thursday night, March 27th. All the lodges, Households of Ruth and Juveniles of the city met in joint session with the lodges. The ladies' committees had prepared a sumptuous banquet for the visiting lodges, and the Odd Fellows, Ruths and Juveniles marched in to the strains of melodious music that flowed from the piano played by Mrs. C. W. Johnson.
The table was beautifully arranged and decorated with ornaments in keeping with the occasion. The hall was decorated in red, white and blue, national colors.
When all had assembled around the table, Chairman of Ceremonies, Rev. Preston Taylor, asked the Secretary, Mr. B. G. Bryant, to call for the report of the lodges. Every lodge, Household and Juvenile made most excellent reports; it was shown that they were all in a prosperous condition, both numerically and financially.
The Household of Ruth delegates reported their charitable work, and unfortunate children, and stated that they had already a committee appointed, making preparations to entertain the children next Christmas. A great deal of work has been done by the Household of Ruth along this line, and the children are learning to appreciate these treats from them.
Amendments were made concerning the annual celebration, which will be held in May. This meeting is held every three months and is entertained by the lodge or lodges of the different sections of the city. The next meeting will be held under the auspices of Mt. Nebo Lodge, and they made it known to the several lodges Thursday night that they will have an entertainment equal to theirs if not surpassable. The banquet was very much enjoyed as well as profitable and speaks volumes for the Odd Fellows in this city.

A unique banquet was held at St. John A. M. E. Church Thursday night, March 27, when the Tennessee and American, one of the daily papers of the city, entertained three hundred citizens consisting of newsboys, parents and their invited guests. A splendid program was rendered as follows: Jubilee selection, Misses Stones and young men students of Fisk University; invocation, Rev. G. W. Porter; opening remarks, Mr. D. Wellington Berry, master of ceremonies; address, Dr. W. S. Ellington, "An Opportunity for the boy;" address, Dr. G. H. Bandy, "Carrying a newspaper as a Stepping Stone;" address, Dr. A. M. Townsend, "How Newsboys May Save Their Money." Rev. G. W. Porter told humorous stories to amuse the boys. Jubilee selection, the Misses Stones and Fisk students; address, Dr. J. W.

Allison, Branch Manager Tennessee and American; benediction, Dr. G. W. Bugg.
Several good talks were made to the boys. Dr. Ellington said the white boy brings the Banner and the colored boy brings the Tennessean to his house. He gets the afternoon paper as regularly as the morning paper, but he said he was pleased with the opportunity offered the colored boys by the Tennessean. Dr. Townsend told the boys that Nashville has two Negro banks and he urged them to put their money in one of these banks.

Reporter for the Tennessee and
American.
Dr. Bright said to encourage the
boy give him his dime when he comes
for it, or do not take his paper. He
appealed to those present to throw
every safeguard around the boys.
Mr. Allison, the Branch Manager, told his experience with colored boys in Columbus, Ohio, where he served in a like capacity. He praised the Nashville colored boys, and said it was the desire of the Tennessee and American, under the present management, to show appreciation in whatever way possible to colored subscribers.
Mr. F. G. Hay had experience with colored boys at Indianapolis, and always found them affable and willing to work.
The paper has eight branch agents and special agents at Flisk and Roger Williams universities, and other exclusive carriers. The eight branch agents have forty-five regular carriers. In addition to these there are several special route boys employed.
Both of the morning papers employ Negro boys. The evening paper, the Nashville Banner, does not employ any Negro boys. On any Friday morning you will see the black boys selling the Tennessee, the Democrat and the Saturday Evening Post, but in the evening not a single Negro boy can be found selling the Banner.

The Square Deal.
The colored people of this city have a just cause to ask the question whether or not they have received a square deal in all things that pertain to their general welfare. It is a settled fact that he who receives must evidence some desire for what is to be given. In other words, if the Negroes of Nashville feel that they are entitled to any considerations in the city improvements, they must decide what they are and then they must make known what they want. We believe in organization, and we are unalterably of the opinion that the most effective way to do anything is through organized effort, but above all we believe that all selfishness should be put aside, and the interests of all the people put first and foremost in every instance. We are not making the charge that any of our organizations are guilty of selfishness, but we do contend that the organizations through which the interests of the people should be fostered are making mighty poor headway.
The new High School that is half completed has cost over $300,000; the other half of the building will cost equally as much, which will run the cost of the High School for whites up into the neighborhood of $700,000. For a High School for Negroes a rider has been attached to the $300,000 bond bill to complete the White High School calling for $100,000. We ask, In the name of common reason, is this a square deal? Schools are not luxuries, but necessities. If a $100,000 building will take care of every need of the Negro, all right; but all know that it will not. The Negroes' children, above all, need industrial training. Being the offspring of a servant class they need this training early in life. As soon as they enter school it would be well for them to have a care such as they should have received at home before school age, but of which they were deprived because their parents in many cases were compelled to leave them early in the morning and to remain away from them until late at night. As a result they did not have time to give their children the attention they desired. Therefore the Negro children need a High School adequate to take up their training where their mothers should have begun. Again, since we have a compulsory educational law, there will be a larger percent'age of High School pupils each year from the various schools. We might go on enumerating reasons why the amount stipulated in the rider is not sufficient, but we feel that the matter explains itself. The point we would impress is that the Negroes are too indifferent about their own welfare, and that the time to plead the cause is now.
The Negro in Business.
The Negro in business as in other lines has his ups and downs. First of all there is a lack of commercial experience that is so essential to success. success. Again, every Negro who Again, every Negro who goes in business goes in with the feeling that he has a constituency, or in other words that there is a class of people who should rally to his support. This class of people referred to are members of his own race. It is natural for Jews to expect Jews to patronize them, in business, Irish expect the same of Irish; the German around the corner feels doubly sure that the Germans will give him their patronage and support. So the Negro should not be censured when he feels that the people of his own race, first of all,
should trade with him in whatever business he may be engaged.
It is true that there are scores of Negroes who have succeeded in business and whose patronage has been almost exclusively that of white people. But while this has often been true, it does not offset the first impression the Negro has when he goes in business.
Many of them have said after success has come to them that they do not depend on the Negro for support; the same can be said of men of other nationalities, but the fact remains that the first thought that enters the mind of the Negro is that he should get the support of his own people.
Many Negroes have been disappointed in this expectation, and the fact about it is, the leading Negroes, that is, those who have come through school and are supposed to have a smattering of learning—lawyers, doctors, teachers and preachers—the class that are the parasites but who preach race loyalty and race cooperation, turn a deaf ear to the Negro who is engaged in business, and added to this the admission is compelled to be made that many of the Negroes who have made a success in their business, turn aside from their brother.
These leaders in the profession and in business can preach their sermons on the housetops of "Race-Loyalty," but they do not practice their preachments. It is left to the people to sustain every Negro who attempts to venture in business. This is a strong charge but we challenge the professional and business Negroes of Nashville to prove the contrary. It is not the intention to create the impression that Nashville is an exception to the rule, but we confine our charge to home because we believe that house cleaning should begin there. We would not take our dirty linen abroad to be laundered, but desire to go visiting with our skirts clean.
Our people who are recognized as leaders, if they expect to continue in the positions in which the people have placed them, must change their attitude towards the Negroes who are attempting to do business. They must not just flock in on opening days and bow congratulations, but must put down hard cash for what the Negro has, and if he has not got what they want they must demand that he get it. There is no use to accuse those who are trying to do business of inefficiency. There must be a brotherly co-operation that every interest of the race may be fostered.
In the death of Mr. J. P. Morgan it can be truly said that a world power has been taken from the stage of action. One by one the Grim Reaper is mowing men down—the great and small.
A white Democrat from Tennessee wants to be Register of the Treasury. It appears that the "dyded in the wool" from our dear old state wants to monopolize that job.
Editorial Clippings.
In the resignation of General Foreman D. A. Hart, the National Baptist Publishing Board has lost a valuable man. Hart and Bumbre, together with the pulchritudinous Blaine Boyd, made things hum.—Georgia Baptist.
Just a little more than half of the Negro children between the ages of 6 and 20 are in school in North Carolina. This is a fact notwithstanding the fact that school enrollment has gradually increased within the last ten years. Of course, the same increase may be counted on to continue still it may not be amiss to help it along. Ignorance is the ever fruitful mother of crime. In consequence the proportion of crime among Negroes almost invariably indicates their ignorance. We cannot therefore fail to give all due emphasis to school training. The Negro needs more education of all kinds and must have it if he is to stand the test of the morrow.—The Durham Reformer.
REV. BECKHAM ABLE TO BE AT

At the mine explosion at Petersburg, Officer Dodson was wounded, and while being cared for at the hospital, Armstead was captured in an attempt to break the Confederate lines to go home. He however, escaped and wandered over one hundred and fifty miles through

THE SOUTH SHOULD GROW LIVE- STOCK.
With its long growing season and abundance of feed crops, the South should be able to grow the beef and butter, the bacon and lard it now buys, for just as little as any other section can produce them. And it can do this very thing.
Here is some of the testimony as it relates to pork production: Carefully conducted experiments at the Alabama Experiment Station show that an acre of soy beans will produce pork worth from $25.84 to $39.13. Hoggs fed on corn and soy bean paste made gains which cost from $2.59 to $3.36 per hundred pounds charging everything against them. These results represent the work of three years. In Louisiana an acre of sweet potatoes produced pork worth $73.50. Farmers who have kept close account of the cost of their pork report this cost as low, in numerous instances, as 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 cents a pound. Of course, the average farmer does not produce pork this cheaply. These men utilized to the full extent the pasture crops—cowpeas soy beans, sweet potatoes, peanuts

MR. AND MRS. TAYLOR SAUNDERS.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Saunders will regret to hear of their removal from Nashville to Chicago to reside. Mr. Saunders was for more than thirty years a trusted employee of the oldest wall paper house in the city, that of Collin H. Freeman. While his wife, more familiarly known as Mrs. M. A. Gowdey, who for eighteen years was employed as teacher in the Public School of the city and whose former husband was the brave captain of the first colored fire company who lost his life in the great fire of 1892. Mrs. Saunders was for many years the efficient organist of St. Paul A. M. E. Church as well as one of the leaders of that church. The women's club movement owes much of its inspiration to her skill and influence. She was the organizer of the House-keepers Club and was its teacher and president for several years. We wish for them happiness and prosperity in their new home.
Mrs. R. C. Eason, of Tremont avenue, who has been confined to her room for several days, is slowly improving.

NEW TYPE OF RURAL SCHOOL.
Booker T. Washington.
In many sections of the South the parents of rural Negro children are ignorant ex-slabе folk whose lives have been <sup>bent entirely</sup> on farms. They know nothing of intelligent cooking or proper housekeeping, nothing of the rules of health. Broken chats, floors with holes in them, broken windows, leaky roofs, ragged and unwashed bedding, soiled dishes and table linen—these are the home surroundings of many of these children room infancy. In view of these conditions, it early became clear to us at Tuskegee that if we really wished to dovetail school work in to the real life of the people as a factor in their uplift, something more than the abstract teaching of cube root and verb conjugation should be offered in the class-room.
In Macon County, Alabama, a plan is being carried out which seems a good solution of this problem. It was decided that, to be of the greatest service to the child, to combat his environment, not only a special classroom should be provided but everything surrounding the child should serve to instruct. As an experiment we constructed a building on the order of our southern cottages, containing rooms for a family and in addition, a large assembly-room. A family, in which both parents were teachers, were obtained to live in the building. It was made clear to them that every room in the house and everything about the house should serve as an object lesson; that front yard, back yard, stable, horse,砍, garden and the little farm adjoining should have their place in the day's schedule of teaching.
Dining-room, kitchen and bedroom are used daily in teaching these children the different phases of housekeeping, they actually doing the work. The girls of a certain grade take turns at the cooking. They come to the cottage in time to prepare the morning meal for the teachers and family. This is properly served in the dining-room, which has been set in order by another group of littile girls—the aim being that all shall learn the best methods of service. The pupils set the bedrooms in order and look after the small children of the teachers. All this is done under the vigilant eye of the mother teacher, who is thoroughly competent, having been trained at Tuskegee Institute, mastering trades as well as academic work. The girls in the higher classes are taught cooking, but all the girls receive instruction in gardening, housecleaning and sewing. The boys come directly under the eye of the man of the house. They care for the small farm, the stock, yards and garden and do in addition a certain amount of farm carpentry. These are all real lessons with practical demonstrations quite as thoroughly explained as the blackboard exercises in the class-room. We call it the Model School, meaning not that it is a model to any other school, but that everything in it and about it is a model to the girls and boys who attend.
A double purpose is served in the Model School. It fits the child for life in the community in which he lives and it affords material to give life to the exercises in his text-books. The boy not only constructs the fence, but he figures out its cost—cost of nails, lumber, time—a live exercise in arithmetic. In his grammar lesson he uses words suggested by his fence and writes short compositions on his work. The same is true of the girl in the work of cooking, bed-making and table-setting. The tasks are done and then used to demonstrate the lessons in books. This gives real interest to the class-room work, as both teachers and children feel that they are writing, talking and figuring on actual things.
To keep up interest in the school we frequently invite the parents to be present. They are made to feel that the school is a center for their activities. They become interested themselves, because their children in learning useful things are doing work that the parents understand and appreciate. They go home with information about cotton, corn, winter greens; about the care of live stock and soil. They gain some idea about washing dishes, setting table and putting a room in order.
The effect of the idea embodied in this school has been highly gratifying. A new light has come into the community which shows in the faces of many of the hard-headed old black folk, who used to be none too enthusiastic about education. The change is only in process, of course, but there are fewer rags in the windows of the community fewer tumbledunfences.
This training has taken nothing from the "book learning" of these children's education. Their teaching is thorough. In the Model School they complete the sixth grade, being admitted by certificate to the corresponding class in Tuskegee Institute. Some, preferring to take a written test, have made the next higher class. With this double training of mind and hand the children of this community, are brighter and happier and are doing much to add sweetness and contentment to rural life.

is a disposition at every point that I have so far touched to keep the Negro out of the skilled labor trades. He can practice law, or medicine or preach, but finds little opportunity to teach school or work at a trade. In many of the hotels where I have stopped, it has been interesting to note that Japanese, white people and black people are employed as servants. In most of the large hotels, however, the Japanese seem to control the work and they are mighty good hotel workers. The Negro waiter and porter in the hotel has to compete with the Japanese and it is a pretty hard job. The Japanese are steadily, reliable, sober and are always on the job.

in the suffragette parade March 3. So did a few other women of the race. The reported opposition of white women to the participation of their colored sisters put a crimp in the suffrage movement among our women, although a public denial was made that no discrimination was intended by the real promoters of the cause.
Notwithstanding predictions to the contrary, published grouchy correspondents who make a specialty of sending out misleading news of the nation's capital, the attendance of colored men and women during the inaugural period was larger than ever before and more Negroes took part in the inaugural parade than was true of any other event of the kind within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. The Negroes in the pageant were not "Jim-crowed," but were scattered throughout the line, according to the organizations to which they belonged. The colored soldiers, members of the G. A. R., the High School cadets, the Elks, the Knights of Pythias, political clubs and other groups made a fine appearance. Lawyer R. R. Horner, a member of the Board of Education, commanded the eighth brigade, and it was far from being at the "tail-end of the procession.
Messrs. A. B. Cosey, of New Jersey, and James A. Ross, of New York, are leaders in the race for the Recordership of Deeds. Both are strongly endorsed by the magnets of their respective states and of the nation at large. Both are democrats of long standing, and possess ability of a high order.

Our annual sermon was preached by Rev. A. G. Mebane of Memphis. His text: 10th chapter of 22 Kings, part of 15th verse. The speaker made the point that we as Knights and Calanthes should be careful, watchful, and brave and take no one in our midst until we know the heart is right. The sermon was wonderful and every one was well pleased. Refreshments were served.
"CORN CLUBS" AND SOUTHERN
_AGRICULTURE
To the late Dr. Seamon A. Knapp and the co-operative farm demonstration work he so successfully conducted much of the new spirit of Southern agriculture is due. Dr. Knapp was not only a great organizer, but also a great advertiser. He put his men to work on the farms of the South teaching and demonstrating better methods of cultivation, seed selection, and fertilization; he organized the boys as well as the men into Corn Clubs and other clubs to try for big yields; and then he let the whole country know just what he had accomplished.
The names of Jerry Moore, Bennie Beeson and other Corn club prize winners became familiar to men and women all over the country, along with their big yields—228 and 227 bushels to the acre, respectively, for the two boys named.
It is doubtful if any other one thing has done as much to bring a realization of the possibilities of Southern soils to the country at large as has this farm demonstration work. It has brought this same realization to thousands of Southern farmers also, and has given them an entirely new conception of their section and their calling. And this new appreciation of the possibilities and the rewards of farming is just as potent a factor in the remaking of Southern rural life as is the knowledge of better methods of doing farm work.
Southern farmers, and the whole country, are beginning to see that the small average yields of Southern staple crops are necessary and permanent, but are only the results of poor farming by this and past generations of farmers. This knowledge carries with it the conviction that the methods and practices of past years must be changed. The South owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. Knapp and his coworkers, not only for what they accomplished but also for the fact that they told folks about it —From "The New Spirit in Southern Farming," by E. E. Miller, in the American Review of Reviews for April.

THE PROFITABLE MARKETING OF MAST-FED HOGS.
By S. M. Price.
As is well known, many sections of Tennessee have a great many mast-bearing trees, such as beach, acorn, small hickory nuts, etc. Mast produces a good, cheap and quick growth of flesh, but leaves the hog, if marketed directly from the mast, in a condition to be discriminated against in price at all markets. The price is usually two cents less per pound than the price of corn fed hogs.
The object of this paper is to show the farmer how he can secure the full benefit of the growth that has been put on the animal. We give the following actual experience of a Tennessee farmer, Mr. J. B. Yount, of the Goodlettsville neighborhood. The results he attained are possible for any farmer: Mr. Yount had a lot of 53 hogs of from 25 to 175 pounds when turned on the mast. These hogs had received the usual care during the fall that farmers give to hogs which they expect to keep through the winter. Mr. Yount found that he had a good mast range on which he could run his hogs. This would be no expense to him, so he did as any intelligent farmer would do—turned his hogs to the mast and fed them a little corn each day to keep them coming home. This treatment was kept up until about January 10. The hogs did well on the range. At this time he was offered 6 cents for the best end of the stock and 5 cents for the plugs. About that date the writer being informed by Mr. Yount, that he had, or could buy, corn from his neighbor $3 to $3.50 per barrel, and that he also had a good piece of rye that he expected to plow under to improve the land, I advised that I thought that a profit could be had if he would put his hogs on the rye and feed plenty of corn.
This lot of hogs was put up about January 15 as they had used up the mast by that time) and were gradually fed upon the rye and corn until March 6, on which date they were sold on the Nashville market to the Tennessee Packing and Stock Yards Co., at an average price of $8.42 per 100 pounds. Mr. Yount guaranteed against the hogs killing soft. After slaughtering it was found that three of the hogs failed to chill out hard, and two were oily. One of the oily hogs was one that had been with the others on mast but was put in a pen and fed on corn only, not receiving any rye
Now for financial results, Mr. Yount was of the opinion that at the time he put the hogs on rye and corn that the price offered him then would give him about $300 for the 53 hogs. He fed them 90 barrels of corn which would have brought him not over $3.50 per barrel, or $315 for the corn fed, making the hogs cost $615. The hogs brought him $743 giving a profit of $130 for feeding the hogs 50 days, and in addition he had a fine lot of manure on the rye field.
The result would indicate that the mast can be fed out of hogs in 50 to 75 days if given green feed with corn, but not if fed corn alone.

$6000 In One Day for Education
To the Baptists of the State of Tennessee and elsewhere, and to the public and friends of education, irrespective of denomination, the following appeal is made: The American Baptist Home Mission Society, of New York, has set aside $14,000 to assist in building a Boys' Dormitory at Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., on condition that the people of Tennessee raise $6,000, which amount must be in hand before work on the proposed dormitory can be commenced.
There is not enough room to accommodate the young men attending school this session, and this is the reason that this appeal, by the order of the Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University, is being made to Baptists and all other people as well to respond financially to this dormitory project. The fifth Sunday in June, 1913, is set apart as the day to raise the $6,000. We are asking, and most earnestly too, that five thousand Baptists of the State give ONE DOLLAR each, all former students $5 each, and all graduates of Roger Williams University to give not less than $10 each. Pastors and churches are requested to form clubs of twenty-five to fifty members who will send us from one to two dollars each on or before the fifth Sunday in June.
Let the pastors of Nashville, for the sake of the school, take the lead in this matter. Let the Baptist denomination in Tennessee rise to the dignity of the occasion and contribute the six thousand dollars needed to begin and erect the Boy's Dormitory. Let all Christians pray for financial success on that day.
Rev. Robert Page, pastor of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, heads the list by pledging to give on rally day $100. Any amount given by any friend will be gladly received and faithfully appropriated.
All money must be sent to Rev. Wm. Haynes, D. D., Missionary and Educational Secretary for Tennessee.

THE SIGMA MU FRATERNITY OF MEHARRY.
The Sigma Mu Fraternity of Meharry rendered its second annual program at the Meharry Auditorium on Friday evening, 28th ult. which proved to be a very successful event. Among the features of the program were a reading by Mr. W. P. Saunders on "The importance of fraternities in a medical institution," and a duet by Miss Madeline Cawley and Mr. V. M. Marshall.
A most enjoyable evening was spent by those whose good fortune it was to attend this interesting function.
Dr. Saunders was requested to recite the last act from the "Maniac"—one of his latest Dramas. So enthused was the audience at this great personality that his reading was riddled with tumultuous applause.
A CARD OF THANKS
To the Fighters of the Globe
I desire to extend my sincere thanks and of those my client, Miss Philista Womack and her parents to those friends who came forward and voluntarily signed her bond in Criminal Court without any compensation or charges, and we desire to thank the host of other friends who so willingly offered their services to help make the bond, but were not needed. We extend thanks to that great multitude whose sympathy ran out in mercy to this woman in her hour of sore distress. We also extend thanks to that great number of friends who have ex pressed a wish that Miss Womack be finally vindicated by the finally vindicated by the court.
MAILS MUCH DELAYED.
In a statement this week given out to the newspapers Postmaster Wills called the attention of the patrons of the post-office to the fact that the mail service both to the East and West is in a very uncertain condition at present, both going and coming. All mail to-day and possibly for several days, destined for the East, is being dispatched via Chattanooga, and that for Chicago, St. Louis and the West via the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis to Fulton, Ky., for such outlet as may be found at that point for further distribution or dispatch, and of course any mail received must come the same way for the present at least. There was a washout on the Louisville & Nashville branch Monday night, which shuts Nashville out of St. Louis, and there is no service out of Cincinnati at all.

WAVERLY NOTES
Waverly, Tenn., April 1.—Rev. Diggs, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, was pleasantly surprised when he received a check for $6.00 Monday, which was raised Sunday during his absence by members and friends. Rev. Diggs had the misfortune to lose part of his house in the recent storm. Rev. A. C. Smith is a
most pleasant man, having just closed a successful service and raised $10.00. Easter money, then on March 31st the young people's auxiliary rendered a commendable program and realized $16.00 clear for the church. The old folks and young folks are friendly rivals in giving concerts. The Old Folks concert has the best to its credit. Their concert was the best and they cleared $20.00. The young folks say they will eclipse all entertainments and put the old folks in the rear. A campaign is on to make Waverly better. It can now be said that scarcely any gambling, no fighting and seldom a drunken man to be seen out among the people. Most everybody is looking upward. Della Summers is on the slick list. Miss Mattle L. Barr, cur foremost seamstress, is unable to take care of her work. Miss Barr has a good trade with the wealthiest white ladies of this city. Miss Barr is also an earnest church and society worker. All wish for her a speedy recovery. The colored farmers are very busy planting. Mr. W. B. Nolan (white) gave many of our old and young people a pleasant ride in his automobile Sunday.
GUTHRIE NOTES
The anniversary sermon of the K. of P. Lodge was preached Sunday, March 30th, at the C. M. E. church, by Rev. Bedford. The exercises were very largely attended and the program was carried out in first-class order. Miss Beauty Williams spent Sunday at Adams, Tenn. Mrs. D. G. Rose is visiting at Hopkinsville, Ky. Mrs. D. C. Hosser and children, of Paducah, Ky., are here. The Sunday-school of the Guildfield Baptist Church rendered a very excellent programme Sunday night to a large and appreciative audience. Mrs. Chas. Toller is on the slick list. Mr. Luke Fort, who has been convalescent for some time, is now seriously ill. The Free and Accepted Masons and the sisters of O. E. S. will celebrate the Blue Lodge exercises on the second Sunday in April at Guildfield Baptist Church. The citizens of Stateline and Guthrie, in company with the above named lodges will march to the State Line infirmary to witness the dedication of the same.
FARMINGTON NOTES
FARMINGTON NOTES.
On the fourth Sunday the Cumberland Presbyterian church of this place celebrated Easter. The program showed that much care and time had been given to give the right design and meanings. Their pastor, Rev. Dobbins, preached a very interesting sermon. The collection was good. On the fifth Sunday the M. E. church of this place also celebrated Easter. The program which was furnished by our Book Concern was carried out in full under the leadership of Mrs. C. P. Boans, Mrs. L. H. Rucker and Miss B. L. Smiley. Our organist, Sister C. P. Boans, was at her best. The church was decorated with many beautiful scenes, and the program pointing to the same showed that great pains had been taken to make the program a success. The pastor, Rev. H. W. Rucker, preached a touching sermon from Mark 16:6. The works of these two Sundays have wrought almost an everlasting impression of the Resurrection of Christ on which depend all Christian hopes. Collection for all purposes, $17.70. Prof. Jones, our public school teacher, made a stirring talk on missions.

The American Giants played 62 games in California, winning 52, losing 10. Rube Foster has broken all records for colored clubs. For five years he made the Leland Giants the best and best advertised baseball club ever in any country. He was the first to take his club through the South; the first colored club in the country to invade territory where colored clubs had never played and where he successfully pitched the Leland Giants over a 9,071-mile tour. It was thought he had reached the height of his ambition. Now he is even eclipsing his previous trip, invading British Columbia, and playing in the extreme Northwest, a trip never before taken by any ball club, and through it all has achieved wonderful success. He be lives in giving all other managers a mark to shoot at and should any one follow his footsteps you can rest as sured they must also follow him around the world. When the Giants return to Chicago they will complete the longest trip taken by all ball clubs in the world.
