prise to those who had some knowledge of the condition and in fact she herself realized several months ago that it was only a question of time with her. She was most patient in her affliction, always exhibiting a spirit of cheerfulness. It was only five hours between the time that Mr. Wm. Brewster was found dead when Mrs. Taylor breathed her last. It was a trying time for Rev. Taylor to have his comparison and his trusted servant corpses in his house at the same time.
Mrs. Taylor was one of the best-known characters in this city, and she enjoyed both a national and international reputation as a Jubilee Singer, and aside from that she had a host of friends in this city who were grief-stricken when they learned that the end had come, although they knew that she could not last too many days. All day Saturday, Sunday and Monday there was a stream of people going to and fro to take a last look at this good and grand woman.
Every undertaker in the city, both black and white, rushed to the side of Mr. Taylor and offered to him every aid in their power. It is admirable indeed the way in which his colleagues rallied to his rescue. The people came from every quarter of the city and from every walk of life and of every nationality; all were anxious to pay respect to the woman who deserved every honor that could be bestowed upon her. It was the sweet disposition and the perseverance for good that made all of the people love Mrs. Taylor.
A useful life was closed last Saturday morning when Georgia Gordon Taylor entered "Bright Mansions above." We were girls and schoolmates and members of the choir of thirty at old Fisk in 1868-1871. We labored together as soprano singers in concert tours to raise funds for Fisk in her poverty. When George L. White asked for volunteers to go north to sing money out of the hearts and pockets of the people for our school, Georgia was among the first to offer her sweet flute-tone voice in the service of the school Eleven of that choir which went forth on October 6, 1871, on that wonderful mission of song. Our journeying for the University last seven years. We traveled in all eleven

S. S. CONGRESS GREAT SUCCESS
MEETING JUST CLOSED IN MUSKOGEE BRILLIANT FROM EVERY VIEW.
Nashville Delegation Plays Conspicuous Part—Texas in for Her Share—All Sessions Largely Attended—Sunday's Parade a Stupendous Demonstra-tion Over a Mile Long—New Boys' Movement Started.

just closed at Muskogee was by far the most largely attended and most enthusiastic in the history of the Congress. Many of those who attended are said to have left the meeting loud in their expressions and congratulating themselves over the fact that a new day in Sunday-school life has dawned, and that this Sunday-school movement which really had its inception in Nashville, was to spread over the entire United States. One of the most prominent visitors to the Congress remarked: "A torch has been lighted in the West, in the interest of Sunday-school work, which will light a blaze that will be seen throughout the civilized world from a Sunday-school view-point." The entire week in Muskogee was spent in actual Sunday-school methods. Nothing was left undone. Homes were opened. Enthusiasm was injected into every occasion and in fact a week of profitable sojourn was spent in the new state of Oklahoma that will result in much good. The Nashville delegation were shown much attention, but there were other delegations which vied with the state of Tennessee and the city of Nashville. From one city in Texas there came 24 delegates. Enthusiasm was at a high ebb from the time the train pulled into Muskogee "till the special train left Monday at noon.
The sessions of the Congress were held in the spacious city hall which seats over 3,000 people. Every session is reported to have been fully attended, but the climax of the occasion was the Sunday demonstration. A parade twenty-one blocks in length, led by a well-trained band under the direction of Prof. N. H. Plus, supplemented by a chorus of 250 voices, the singers garbed in Sunday-School Congress uniform, together, with the local Sunday-schools, national officials, visitors and Sunday-school workers from Muskogee, paraded the streets, beginning at the Manual Training School, at the extreme end of North Muskogee, the end of the line being at the City Hall in the heart of Muskogee. The streets were thronged from the beginning of the parade till it dispersed at the Auditorium. The oldest residents of Muskogee declared to the Congress visitors that they had never seen such a demonstration even in the fraternal

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JUNE 13, 1913.
MULLINS AND JONAH BREAK
MULLINS AND JONAH BREAK
Mullins' Name Used Without His Permission—Jonah Sought Mullins' Aid—Asked Him to Go North with Him—Jonah Tries to Establish Rival Town—Says White Folks Will Discriminate Against the Blacks.
What appeared to be a relationship that would be of long standing in our congenial nature has come to an abrupt ending.
Mr. J. B. Mullins, founder of Hortense, a town in Dixon country whose population is to be exclusively Negroes, has broke relations with Rev. Jonah, a white man who has been in Nashville several weeks on a mysterious mission.
The break came about it seems through the too free use of Mr. Mullins name by Rev. Jonah. Mullins is pushing Hortense and he says that Jonah came to him and asked that he (Mullins) join with (Jonah) in a similar work; from what could be learned the working agreement was gone into. Jonah was to help Mullins and Mullins was to help Jonah. Just in what way the help was to be rendered was not made clear by the conversation, but it seems that each was to help the other in moral support.
In a few days after this conversation, it seems a letter head appeared in Nashville, headed "We are coming with a train load of Negro's products. The train was scheduled to visit Chicago, New York, Washington, Boston, and Philadelphia.
J. B. Mullins' name appeared as general manager; this was done Mr. Mullins said without his consent or knowledge. Following close after this came an announcement that Rev. Jonah and Mr. Mullins were to establish a town in another part of Dixon county about twenty-five miles from Hortense. When Mr. Mullins learned of this he condemned it in the strongest terms, and said that Mr. Jonah had no right to use his name as he was bent on establishing Hortense on that the ground Jonah was speaking of, is not as good a ground as his. Jonah says that Mr. Mullins would not succeed, because it is not on a river, he says that a Negro town to succeed must have a waterway so that they could fight the railroad; he said that the white fellows on the railroad would work discrimination against the Negroes in rates, so his purpose is to establish a town of his own.
It is not known whether or no Mr. Jonah being a white man, will live in the town or not. It is presumed, however, that since it is to be a Negro village, and after Mr. Jonah organizes and sells the land, he will withdraw from the community. Be this as it may the breach between Jonah and Mullins seems to grow wider and wider, as every plan is to be carried out in his own way. Rev. Jonah came to Nashville several weeks ago and has since been advocating what he calls the Negro Emancipator." He terms himself as the "Moses of the Negro race." What he intends doing, nobody seems to fully understand except himself. He has published a book, many copies of which have been sold in Nashville. He visits every meeting among the colored people and if given a chance will get in his say, but nobody seems to be able to find head nor tail to Mr. Jonah's plans; he has visited other places in the country and at one time had some trouble at Brownville, Tenn. He came to Nashville from Memphis, which city he describes as being the meanest place on earth, but he speaks well of Nashville, however, and says that the condition between the white and black people should be changed and that he is the man to do it.
The difference between Rev. Mullins shows no signs of helping as Mr. Mullins is a determined man it is not expected that he will give up the scheme that he has long cherished and surrender to Mr. Jonah.

COMMENCEMENT AT FISK UNI.
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DELIVERS ADDRESS TO CLASS
Large Crowd Present to Witness
Exercises and Hear Dr. Washington—Interesting Programs All
the Week—Alumni and Class
Day Exercises—Address to
Get Close to the People—
No Excuse for Educated
Men and Women.
The Annual Commencement of Fisk University closed Wednesday
morning with a commencement address by Dr. Booker T. Washington.
The commencement exercises of Fisk University began Friday, June
6, with a piano recital by the members of the graduation class in music
Sunday, June 8, the baccalaureate
sermon was delivered by Rev. Wilbur
F. Tillett, D. D., LL. D., Dean of the
Theological Department of Vanderbilt University. The sermon was on
the subject of praise.
Tuesday, June 10th a. m., the student
alumni was held in Memorial
Chapel and at 3:30 p. m. the anniversary
of the alumni associations. At
7:45 p. m. the anniversary of the
Alumni Associations were held.
Wednesday morning at ten o'clock the commencement came to a close with the graduating exercises of the College classes. On this occasion a crowd gathered that packed the Memorial Chapel. There is always a large crowd on hand to witness Fisk commencement, but on this occasion the crowd was usually large due no doubt to the fact that the distinguished educator, Dr. Booker T. Washington was to deliver the address to the graduating class. The exercises as a whole were exceptionally grand. The address of graduates and splendid music bringing forth great applause. The large assemblage never weared of the program and really seemed to enjoy every piece on the program. At the conclusion of the graduating addresses Dr. Washington asked Dean Wright to have the congregation sing a song. They sang two verses of "My Country 'Tis of Thee." Dean Wright in presenting Dr. Washington said that he needed no introduction for there was only one Booker T. Washington.
Mr. Washington in the way of preliminary said: "This has been a year of trials through which Fisk University has passed. In the death of the president, a trustee, many friends and one of her teachers. You have passed through a year which few institutions are called upon to experience. Yet with all of these has come the effort to increase the Endowment Fund that has tested the faith and loyalty of friends, alumni, and graduates of the institution, out of which has come something that is of great value to Fisk, greater than anything that could be counted in dollars and cents and that is the way the friends and graduates of the institution are rallying to its support." He said to address the graduating classes of the day was very hard, but twenty years hence the task would seem much more easy; the difficulty comes from the fact that the tremendous amount of wisdom has not dissolved, but twenty years from now it would have been dissolved. The address in part was as follows:
"One of the first questions confronting a graduating class from any institution is that of being able to digest and use the education which has been. This applies to the people of any race. In a particular and especial degree does it apply to the he educated men and women of the Negro race.
"Next to this, importance is the problem of finding, location for one's life work. Where can one find a physical territory or standing room that is large enough to present all the inducements in the way of permanency, future growth and encouragements for one's life work. In this respect the educated men and women of no race in the same relative stage of civilization has a greater opportunity than is true of the educated men and women of my race who are going out from our institutions of learning today. That territory and that opportunity, in my opinion, present themselves here in our sixteen Southern States in a degree that is exceptional. We have in in our sixteen Southern States a tertiary that is as large as the combined area of Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. At least one-half of the tillable soil of the Southern States is unused or unoccupied. In a word, there are 200,000,000 acres of land that invite the skill, the industry, the intelligence, the culture, of the educated men and women of our race.

NAPIER LIKES
NASHVILLE
Prevailed Upon to Take Part in Big Bank—Men of Means Ready to Cooperate—Recognize Mr. Napier's Business Ability—Register Desires to Return Home—One Bank Recently Organized in Capital City.
"Not that I like Washington less, but that I like my native health, the hills and dales and the familiar haunts of Nashville more, is why I have not given my consent to the oft-repeated propositions made to me to enter into a business career in Washington when my term as Register of the United States Treasury expires," is the emphatic statement of Hon. J. C. Napier, in reply to a Nashville Globe representative as to whether he would return to his home city or whether he would accept one of the propositions made to him by the business men of Washington, who have long since recognized his ability as a successful business man. Persistent rumors have gained circulation that Mr. Napier would head a corporation that was preparing to open a mammoth banking concern in Washington. It is said that the probability of launching this bank depended entirely upon Mr. Napier's final decision. In speaking of the matter, Mr. Napier declared that the opportunities, the outlook and the future for the Negro business men in the nation's capital were about as bright as he had seen in any place in the United States, but that his desire to return home and perhaps spend the remainder of his years among friends of a half century's standing offered far more assurance than to enter the business life of Washington. He set at rest all rumor that there was any possibility of having him remain in Washington to take any position, no matter how urgent or what the prospects for the future might be.
One bank has already been organized here under the caption The Industrial Savings Bank, located at 2006 Eleventh street, N. W., with a capital stock of $50,000 divided into shares of $10,000 each. The officers of the bank are John W. Lewis, president; James Langham, vice president; James H. Coleman, 2nd vice president; James H. Washington, treasurer; Wm. A. Bowie, cashier, Zeph P. Moore, counsel. On the board of directors are to be found some of the best known business men of the nation's capital. The institution is reported to be doing a thriving business.

Y. M. C. A.
The meeting on Fisk University campus last Sunday afternoon with Hon. Noah H. Cooper as speaker was no doubt the most successful evangelistic meeting held this season. A strong man made a confession and promised to live a Christian life. Some church has no doubt enrolled him already as a candidate for baptism.

I know of nothing that we have done to merit such distinction, unless it be that we have tried to do our duty and win the approval of our own conscience.

The sum of $12.50 was raised, which is said to be a financial record breaker for the place. We are glad to say that the people are becoming more alive toward the church and Sunday-school.

serve to stimulate us to higher efforts in the future.
The members of the Graduating Class will, please stand:
You are standing now on the isthmus that connects youth and manhood. Bright prospects lie before you. Fancy paints the future with pictures of beauty and hope's sweet voice allures you on. You may linger over its pleasing visions to-night, for tomorrow, the ties which bind you together must be broken. You must say farewell to your teachers and go out alone to make your way in the world. I can not repress a feeling of sadness as I contemplate your future. But whatever it may be, you carry with you the prayers and blessings of your teachers. We know the perils that await you, the temptations that lurk about you. Remember, true happiness, always lies on the side of right. Life is a struggle, a conflict, a battle for existence. Think not be cause you have some education, your success is assured. The men who makes the greatest success in life are not always the best educated, nor those who have been endowed with the most brilliant minds.
It makes no difference what your training is, what school you may have attended, how expert your teachers were or what marks you may have made in the examination—you may have been, the star of the class for that matter, but unless you can use your knowledge, you will not succeed. Neither must you think that because you have a diploma, men will accept your lead and co-operate with you in all your efforts. Some will oppose you for that very reason. The way to succeed is to do your duty day by day. If you have a task to perform, perform it so well and with such skill that those who observe it will see in it the touch of a master's hand.
You have heard it frequently said, that the study of Latin, the sciences, and the higher mathematics upsets the Negro for the practical duties of life. I am unwilling that you should leave this school with any fastidious or conceived notions about education. You must not feel that because you possess a little knowledge, it is necessary for you to become a lawyer, a doctor, a preacher or a teacher. Your education requires nothing of the kind. It is not wrong in you to seek employment corresponding to your attainments; neither is it improper for you to aspire to work commensurate with your training and ability. For no matter what may be said to the contrary, there is something sad, inconsistent and regrettable to see an educated man blacking boots, cleaning spittoons working on a rock pile or driving a dump-cart. But if at first, you find it difficult to secure a position in keeping with your talentfi do not hesitate one moment to begin with menial tasks. For although you begin with this kind of service in order to lay a foundation and get a little start in the world it need not follow that you intend to pursue this class of work all the rest of your life.
Young ladies do all the good for your race that you can, but if you can't find a school to teach, put into practice some of the things you have learned in the Domestic Science Department, do plain sewing, go out cooking, accept serving, adopt nursing take up house-work or do anything else that is decent and honorable to make an honest living.
Your parents have worked too hard they have sacrificed too much, they have suffered too long, they have shed too many tears and your diploma has cost to much in money, prayers and heart-aches for you to sit around home with folded arms or to spend your time in the parlor thinkering on the plano, waiting for some nice position to be brought to you on a silver wafer.
Young men, if you cannot find a job in keeping with your attainments, where you can stick your pen behind your ear, where your hands may remain clear and your work be dignified, do not stand around on the street corners, dreaming of Utopia, building castles in the air, and idling away your time, but get into your overalls, roll up your sleeves, clinch your teeth together, take up the hammer, the wash-wash brush, the shovel, the pick-axe or the plow and earn your living with your hands and your bread by the sweat of your brow. You have often heard it said that labor is honorable.
Labor is more than honorable. It is grand and mighty and glorious. "Labor clears the forest, drives the plow, scatters the seed, reams the harvest, grinds the corn and converts it into bread, the staff of life. Labor gathers the gossamer web of the caterpillar, the cotton from the field, the fleece from the flock and weaves it into ralment soft and warm and beautiful, the purple robe of the king as well as the common garb of the peasant. Labor molds the brick, quarries the stone, shapes the column and constructs not only the humble cottage of the poor, but the gorgeous palace of the rich, the tapering spire and the stately dome. Labor spans majestic rivers, suspends bridges, extinguishes barbarium and plants the seeds of civilization upon its ruins. Let us exalt labor, therefore, my young friends, and whatever you find
to do, work with pride and gladness, remembering that the noblest man in all the world is he who soils his hands cheerfully and proudly at honest labor."
Strive to make good citizens. The glory of a state consists not so much in its massive buildings, its magnificent resources and in its free institutions, as in the intelligence, honesty and manhood of its citizens. In building up a higher and better citizenship among your people, there is much for you to do. It may not be possible for you to become a great artist and with your brush paint a masterpiece; it may not be possible for you to become a great sculptor, and with your chisel sculpt a Madonna; it may not be possible for you to become a great musician and by the fire of your gen'us immortalize your name in song; but it is possible for you to be honest, truthful, sober, industrious and reliable and thus build up a name of which the most noble might be proud.
To the President of the Board of
To the President of the Board of education:
Again, Mr. President, I have the honor to present you another graduating class.
It may be of interest for you to know that our graduates constitute a worthy circle of young people, who take an active and prominent part in the religious, educational and business life of the city. They make themselves useful, their voices are heard and their influence is felt wherever they may be. Not long since, it was my pleasure to attend a sacred concert, given at the First Baptist of this city of which Rev. W. S. Ellington is pastor. I was delighted to see the interest taken in church work and the efforts put forth by our graduates to elevate the standard of religious worship among the colored people of this community. Every number of the program from the first to the last was particpated in by some pupil or graduate of the Pearl High School.
It might also be of interest to you to know that the graduates of Pearl High School, who attended Fisk University, Walden University, Roger Williams University, Meharry Medical College or the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School usually give a good account of themselves. They take high rank, remain true to their ideals and do all in their power to uphold the reputation of Pearl as a school where thorough work is done. On April 22nd last, two of our graduates, Mr. James Hurt and Mr. Deo. Darden completed their course in medicine at the Meharry Medical College and received the degree of M. D. They are now Dr. Hurt and Dr. Darden. Next Wednesday, June 11th, five of our graduates: Messrs. Overton Carter, M. E Jackson, Andrew Allison, Avery Peyton and Moses Richardson will graduate from the collegiate depremeure of Fisk University and receive the degree of Eachelor of Arts.
In the business world, they are also known and sought after because of their general efficiency. The National Baptist Publishing Board, the great publishing house of the Negro Baptists of this country employs 12 graduates and 10 under graduates of Pearl High School.
Dr. R. H. Boyd, the secretary informed me that their work was highly satisfactory. That I may not misquote him, permit me to read a letter which was given me by his manager, which will show the esteem in which our graduates are held by this great business institution.
Read letter
Mr. Ira T. Bryant, the Secretary and Treasurer of the A. M. E. S. S. Union, the largest publishing house of the Negro Methodists in this country stated to me not many days ago that he is always glad to get hold of Pearl graduates and really perfers them because they are intelligent, systematic, well-disciplined and usually render first class service. His letter reads as follows: Thirty-eight of our graduates are employed as teachers in the city schools of Nashville and Prof. J. J. Keys, our honored Superintendent can testify as to the good character of their work. Thus you see Mr. President that Pearl High School is doing an important work in this city and one that is appreciated deeply by its citizens.
It only remains for us to have a new, modern High School, a building constructed and equipped for high school purposes with some revision and additions to our course o f study to enter upon a career of wider usefulness and greater prosperity.
In conclusion, Mr. President, permit me to apologize for making a personal reference on this commencement occasion, but tonight marks an important period in my life. When the curtain falls upon this scene, when the crowd has dispersed, and the lights have been extinguished I shall have spent 25 years in the employ of the Board of Education—a quarter of a century of continued, faithful and unbroken service in the city schools of Nashville. Eighteen years of this have spent as principal of the Pearl High School. 388 High School graduates and 1,103 grammar school graduates have received diplomas at my hands. This is a record of which I feel justly proud. Some men count success in dollars and cents; others measure it in houses and lands, but I'd rather have my name enshrined in the hearts of these young people than to be president of a bank. For Dan'l Webster has said, "If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we erect temples, they will crumble into dust. But if we work upon immortal minds—if we imbue them with high principles, with a just fear of God and their fellowmen—we engrave on these tables something which no time can efface, but which will bright en to all eternity.
I take great pleasure now, Mr. President in presenting you the Class of 1913.

On his return to his practice he will install in his office all the latest appliances that go to make an ideal office. He is rapidly coming to the front. He deserves encouragement and is absolutely worthy of all the good things that can be said of him.
COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.
Speaking on the above subject Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of United States Treasurer, Washington, D. C., and Cashier of the One-Cent Savings Bank said: "The development of the inclination on the part of our young people to enter the business world is calculated to open up a field of usefulness which is no less important than that of any one of the professions. But the idea should not prevail that a mere smattering of education or any little superfluous preparation will suffice for a business career. There was a time when such a notion existed and perhaps with some reason, but that day has passed. The demand for larger intelligence, a cultivated mind and foresightedness is far greater in the business world to-day than ever before. No more difficult matters arise in any walk of life than in the domains of business and commercial trade. But to the young man and young woman prepared to enter there is no better field than business for opulence, influence and service." The above is a part of an address delivered by the Hon. J. C. Napier, registrar of the treasury, before Howard University, of which he is one of the trustees. The address is reported to have been one of the most able presented during the present school year.
IN MEMORY OF PROF. WEST
PATTERSON.
The present year is the fortieth anniversary of Yale College class of 1873, of which Prof. West Patterson was a member. Frank J. Shepherd, of Buffalo, N. Y., secretary of the class, wrote to Dean Hubbard that the class would like to have a wreath placed on Prof. Patterson's grave on Decoration Day and sent $5 for this purpose. A beautiful wreath was prepared by Mr. Joe Brown from the Lischem Nursery and was placed on his grave on that day by two of his former pupils, Misses Tillie Lloyd and Vera Lee Moore.
The following is the inscription furnished by the class. In affectionate remembrance of West Patterson, 4th Pennsylvania Calvary, from his classmates of Yale '73 on the 40th anniversary of their graduation.

hold of Ruth, from its birth up to this present time. She told of the many struggles, of how the Ruth was down and after so many dark days light had at last come and much honor and praise should be given those who stood in adversity, and God has spared them to see the Light. Bro. J. W. Grant, of Marian H. H. R. No. 82, was the next speaker, and he gave us many kind words of greeting and good cheer. Other prominent speakers were Mrs. Josie Britt, Mary Miller, Messrs. A.

An ice course was served by the committee.
SUPREME CHANCELLOR GREEN
ISSUES APPEAL FOR FLOOD
SUFFERERS
A circular has been received at the Globe office dated May 17, issued by the Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, appealing for aid for the suffering in the flood-streken districts of Ohio and in inorm-ewept Omaha. The circular reads as follows:
New Orleans, La., May 17, 1918.
To all Grand and Subordinate Lodges, Grand and Subordinate Courts, Supreme Representatives, Officers and Members of the Supreme Lodge, of the Knights of Pythias, aforesaid—Greeting:
This office is in receipt of a communication from Sir Edward L. Gilliam, Grand Chancellor of Ohio, in which he advises that on March 24th and 25th, 1913, a disastrous flood visited the state of Ohio, with the result that more than a thousand members of the Order surener heavy losses—some losing all except their lives—in Dayton, Hamilton, Zanceville, Ports mouth, Ironton, Columbus and a number o. other towns.
Another communication has been rceived from Sir William H. T. Ransom, Deputy Supreme Chancellor of Nebraska, in which he advises of the terrible tornado that swept down on the city of Omaha, Neb., Easter Sunday, March 23rd, 1913, and wiped out the lives of some of our faithful Knights. Some have been crippled or injured for life, while others have lost their homes, wearing apparel and household effects. Keystone Lodge No. 4, Omaha, lost all its property. It is useless to attempt to describe the suffering and loss caused by these catastrophes, as none but those who were there may fully conceive; but it becomes the duty of each member of this Orded to assist in relieving the distressed members of the sections so affected; now, therefore,
I. S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, in consideration of the distress of our brother Knights, do hereby appeal to all lodges and members not in the sections affected, to contribute to the relief of the flood and storm sufferers as freely and promptly as possible. Contributions so given shall be forwarded to the office of the Supreme Chancellor, 507 Pythian Temple, New Orleans, La., and a receipt for all contributions will be mailed to the address of person sending same.
A list of all lodges sending contributions, and giving the name, number and location and amount received, will be published an da copy of said publication furnished the lodges throughout the Supreme Jurisdiction.
A list of all individuals giving $1.00 or more will also be published.
The Supreme Worthy Counselor will issue a proclamation requesting contributions from Courts of the Order of Calanthe throughout the Supreme Jurisdiction.
Let us act promptly and send in the contributions at once.
Thus done and signed at New Orleana, La., this 17th day of May, 1913, and Pythian Period XXXIV (34th).
J. W. GREEN,
Supreme Chancellor.

Mrs. Georgia Gordon Minor Taylor.
In the death of Mrs. Georgia Minor Gordon Taylor, Nashville has lost a most estimable woman. She was in truth a great and noble woman. A servant of humanity and a servant of the Most High. We feel that her life can best be told by one who knew her in childhood, and who was always in close touch with her, Mrs. M. L. Crosthwait pays this tribute to the deceased:
Did I know Georgia Gordon Taylor? I knew her as early as I knew any one. My brother, whom I never saw, as he died ere my birth, shared his nourishment from my mother with her. Thus she became in a way my foster sister. I can see her now, a jolly, playful little girl. The characteristic of seeing the fun in everything did not leave her as the years went by. During my last conversation with her we had a hearty laugh about some of our nonsense of earlier days. Her disposition was naturally cheerful and hopeful, and in childhood was often made manifest by a ringing, care-free laugh that did one's soul good to hear. Indeed, the cares and sorrows of after life served only to mellow her vivacity, never to destroy it.
She was truth personified. If other people flattered you, when you reached Georgia, you got the truth straight. If she felt that what she wished to say was very unpleasant, she would just turn her head and say "Umph." That little sound sometimes spoke louder than many words. She was a faithful friend. Trouble, gossip, envy never shook her faith in one who had her confidence. The sympathetic word, the kind act, the helpful suggestion were to be forthcoming to her friends if they underwent any sort of trouble. If the difficulty seemed a trivial one, she would probably pay you on the shoulder and laugh you out of it.
To him whom Georgia to be to her long-l companion she gave this same faithful help. She studied his business interests, and for year stood shoulder to shoulder with him in his work. We know he will miss her. Yes, all her friends will miss her. It seems dark and lonely since she has gone. We know, however, that this separation is only for awhile.
"Love! I dream and Faith will trust! (since he who knows our need is sure). That the man who never sees we must. Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress trees! Who honneless lay his dead away. Who beckoning beckoned! Across the mournful murmur play. Who hath not learned in hours of faith This truth to flesh and sense unknown; and of the rest of the world. And love can never lose its own!"
Dr. Washington's Address.
At Fisk Commencement Wednesday morning, Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered an address to the graduating class that was a wholesome admonition to every one present. It is never expected that the Wizard of Tuskegee will deliver other than a wise and logical address, but on this occasion his words were timely, owing to the surrounding conditions. He did not bring any new doctrine; it was the same common sense, practical talk that has been heard thousands of times all over this country and in other countries; but there are times when the minds of the people are in a receptive mood, and we

Yards Cor. Fifth Ave. and Demonbremn St. and 109 to 128 Fifth Ave. South Phone M. 188 Nashville, Tenn.
believe such was the case at Fisk University on the morning of the commencement exercises. Fisk University has passed through a trying year. Dr. Washington said, the friends of the institution had been tested, but we want to be more personal and say that the Negroes of this country have been tested; and we believe that they have been aroused to a realization of the fact that the destiny of Fisk University is in their hands. If this is true the address delivered by Dr. Washington on last Wednesday morning will result in great good.
The ten millions of Negroes in this country must be saved; they must be unlightened; they must be made better citizens; they must be made to know the truth. Humanity has always sought the light. Negroes are human beings and are therefore seeking the light. The men and women who are graduating from our colleges and universities every year have received the truth and since the truth is the light, the educated people must get down with the uneducated that they may know the truth. As was said by Dr. Washington, the educated can no longer excuse themselves; it is their burden, and it is their bounded duty to shoulder it and bear it to a pinnacle and then hall the world to look there.
There is no disputing the truth that until Negroes come in possession of some of the wealth of the land there is no possibility of the world seeing them as a light on a hill, or recognizing them as a potent factor in the development and management of the affairs of the nation.
The Capital City Baseball League will play a double header in the Athletic Park Monday. Now, if you were as enthusiastic as you appeared to be on the lots, prove it by coming to the game with a quarter in your pocket.

If the Democratic Congress will only get that Tariff Bill finished the nation will willingly give them a vacation.
WILLIAM C. BREWSTER FOUND DEAD.
Leading Man for Taylor Undertaking
Establishment—Had Been Identi-
fied with the Firm for
Many Years.
Friday night at 11 o'clock William
C. Brewster, head employee and
funeral director for Taylor & Co. was
found dead in the trimming room by
William Cole, one of the drivers.
When the news was broken to Rev.
Taylor he was overcome and it was
all his friends could do to sustain
[Name]
him, realizing as he did that his wife, Mrs. Taylor, would soon step into the Great Beyond, and realizing further that the man who had just been found dead was his most trusty employee, it was almost more than human strength ould endure.
Mr. Brewster had worked for Taylor & Co. for over twenty-five years, and he had a host of friends in this city, as was evidenced by a great outpouring at his funeral, at the Spruce Street Baptist Church Monday morning at 10 a. m.
The funeral was attended by Rev. T. L. Ballon, pastor of the church. He preached a strong cermon, utilizing the life of the deceased.
Mr. Brewster was a member of Spruce Street Baptist Church for over twenty-five years. He was kind hearted and generous to a fault.
The music was very impressive and at times a dry face could scarcely be found in the house. One broth, mr. George W. Brewster, and a sister, Mrs. Rear, survive him.
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1913.
JUBILEE SINGER GONE
(Continued from Page 1.)
years, singing the simple slave songs of our people, beautifully called "the crystalized tears and passion flowers of the slave cabin. The life of our little company was sustained by prayer. Worship always preceded the work of the day and Gods blessing was asked upon each concert.
There came a time that we must have a name; special prayer was offered, in which our leader, Mr. White, tarried at the mercy seat all night, and toward morning he opened his Bible to the Scripture about the Jewish year of Jubilee and later he came in with beaming face and said, "Children, you shall be called 'Jubilee sangers.'" Six months later we returned to Nashville with twenty thousand dollars, with which we bought the present site of Fisk University. We sang at the great World's Peace Jubilee in Boston in 1872, where there was a choir of twenty thousand voices and instruments and an audience of forty thousand people. We sang the verse of the Battle Hymn of the Republic; "He bath sounded forth the trumpet
"He hath sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never cait retreat."
Our voices were heard to the remotest corner of that great coliseum seating forty thousand people. The audience went wild with rejoicing; women cried out; men shouted, and one musician held his bass violineloft and whacking it with his bow cried out, "brave, brave." The leader and great composer, Straus, waved his bow in admiration. Five of the next six years were spent abroad. We crossed the Atlantic four times and travelled throughout the British Isles and most of the Continental Empire, singing to the Christian and philanthropic public not only to raise funds for our school, but in the higher service of Christian evangelism and charitable work in song in behalf of the poor and the outcasts in the cities and towns. We sang in hospitals, jails and asylums of every description. Everyway our soul music carried its message of comfort and hope. Nine of the crowned heads of Europe and their families and friends heard us with delight. Queen Victoria informed us and also wrote to the mother of Germany, the mother of the present Emperor William, that we had greatly comforted her more than anything since the death of the consort Prince Albert, ten years before. Souls were converted under our singing. We often assisted in evangelistic work and we also gave a month of our vacation at the services of Messrs. Moody and Saunky, singing daily to an audience of ten to twelve thousand souls in East London. Thousands were converted during the meetings. One man who died soon after said that he went to hear the preaching, but the singing had saved his soul. Once we surprised Mr. Moody during a meeting, arriving late and unexpected. We went into the small fifth gallery during the praise following an earnest appeal to sinners by Mr. Moody. While all heads were bowed he said, Let every body pray and may the angels carry the message of pardoned sin. When he prayed we softly sang "There are angels hovering round to carry the tidings home." The effect was won derful and most impressive. Some people said that for a moment "we really thought the music came from an angel band."
In 1878, when we returned home we had not only raised $165,000 for Fisk University, but had made thousands of friends for our race and loved school, who sent gifts of every kind, including furniture, books, etc. to help furnish Jubilee Hall, our memorial building. For fifty years the great bell, a gift with our names inscribed thereon has run out its musical summons to the youth of our race to prepare for their life work of unplifting and regenerating.
Georgia and I had other plans for working together again for Fisk. We had hoped to raise the money to build at least one building for the George L. White Conservatory of Music that the splendid work of the musical department of Fisk might be housed and enlarged so that it might carry on its work more effectively under better conditions. But other needs at Fisk have demanded immediate relief, and Mrs. Taylor's falling health delayed our beginning this campaign. Mrs. Taylor's quiet, unassuming, cheerful spirit never failed in all of our struggles, and she did what she could in every way to pass on what she had enjoyed to others, and her work will continue to bear fruit in the years to come. She longed for a quiet home here. She now resides in a better home not made with hands eternal in the heavens. I was with her as she was nearing the great white city, but she was unconscious of our presence and knew not that those who loved her watched her homegoing. She is now satisfied, for she is like her Saviour and in his presence.
In loving remembrance,
ELLA SHEPPARD MOORE.
MRS. GEORGIA MINOR TAYLOR'S FUNERAL LARGELY ATTENDED.
Fisk Jubilee Singers Pay Last Tribute of Respect.
The funeral of Mrs Georgia Minor Taylor was held at the Lea Avenue Christian Church Monday, June 9. The church was packed, there was hardly standing room, and the streets were lined with people. The many beautiful designs were an evidence of her wide circulation of friends and was a glowing tribute to the distinguished lady.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Dickerson. The hymn "How firm a foundation, ye salute of the Lord." was sung by the choir, after which prayer was offered by Rev. J. W. Sexton, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church. The Fisk Jubilee Singers sang "In Bright Mansions Above." The 23rd and 24th Pealms were read by Rev. Spencer Jackson, Pastor of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. The Fisk Jubilee concert song. "We shall walk through the valley of the shadow of death." Prof. H. H. Wright of Fisk Univer-

sity, gave a brief history of the life
of the deceased. He said in part:
"Georgia Gordon was born in Nashville, September 24, 1855. She attended the public schools and also attended Fisk University when it was first opened in the Soldiers' Barracks. When the Jubilee Singers went out on their mission into secure money for the help of the institution, she went with them. She was later married to the Rev. Preston Taylor, and was the mother of one child, which died in its infancy. She was of a generous disposition, helping many causes by girls and counsel, free of charge. She has been a help to her husband in all of his work.
The faculty and students of Fisk University remember her as a Jubilee singer and always hear her name in connection with the story of the Jubilee singers. Her name is cherished, in the University, and every year she is thought of with greater and greater appreciation. When we were getting up a large concert to be given at Ryman Auditorium for the Fisk Endowment Fund, she was one of the first to purchase tickets. She was loyal to the school and she w... always be well remembered by us." In owing he extended his sympathy to the family, church and community. Reminiscences were . . . then heard from Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore, pianist of the Fisk Jubilee Singers and one of the original troupe, who traveled abroad with Mrs. Taylor singing
before kings and queens. In her remarks she said: "Long before Fisk Jubilee Singers came forth we went out every Friday and Saturday in the city of Nashville and nearby towns, singing in order to secure money for Fisk. We then went forth with Fisk Jubilee Singers to secure money to

pay off the debts which the school had accumulated. This work succeeded far beyond our expectation. Twenty thousand dollars was raised with which the land where Jubilee Hall now stands was purchased; $165,000 was raised to erect buildings for this school. Georgia was very useful, she sang in jails, hospitals and everywhere her musical talent could comfort and sustain. We never went to a concert without first asking the presence of God. When we were called 's sing before Queen Victoria she said she had never had anything to comfort her more since the death of Prince Edward. We sang before large crowds in Scotland and were called time and time again to sing before a king or queen. We sang at a great meeting held by Dr. Moody in London, and when our voices went out in that large crowd as we sang 'Angels are Hovering Bound' the people seemed to think that angels had really come down from heaven.

"Swing low, sweet charlot," was next sung by the Jubilee Quartette, after which a few remarks were made by Elder A. N. C. Williams, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Franklin, who told of how she aided Rev. Taylor in the building of his church. Remarks were then made by Dr. R. Lin Cave, pastor of the Woodland Street Presbyterian Church, who has known Mrs. Taylor for years and who has known Rev. Taylor from childhood. He said that the colored race was beginning to realize that he was worth while and that they must have the confidence of their own race and also of the white race. A tribute was then paid by Dr. Carey Morgan who, though a stranger, had gathered a full estimate of the life of the deceased and endorsed what had been said. He spoke of the beautiful designs as tributes of respect.
The closing remarks were then made by Rev. W. H. Dickerson. He said: "We shall not know the worth and influence of our dear sister who has gone to her home on high, in this life, but we shall know it better when the mists have rolled away." He told of the many messages that had been received by Rev. Taylor in his hour of bereavement. These messages appear elsewhere. Rev. Dickerson said further that life does not consist in satisfying sense of hearing, sight or touch, but the greatest thing in life that is said of a character was said of God by Moses. He said, "Moses my servant is dead." The greatest thing that I can say is that a servant has gone home to rest. A servant of God. She has been a shelter in the time of storm. She has sheltered her husband and he has sheltered her.

TENNESSEE DOCTORS WILL CON
VENE IN COLUMBIA.
On Tuesday, the 17th, the Volunteer State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Society will meet in Columbia for a two days session. Dr. J. H. Hale, of this city, and corresponding secretary of the Association, when approached about the matter, said that he expects at least two hundred of the three hundred doctors in Tennessee to attend this meeting.
A large delegation his expected from the Western Kentucky and Tennessee Association to attend the meeting at Columbia. This delegation will be headed by Dr. Walker, the president.
Many important subjects will be discussed at the meeting. Clinics will be conducted by Drs. F. A. Stewart, J. A. Lester and C. V. Roman, of Nashville; Drs. Terrell and Wilson, of Memphis, Dr. H. T. Green, of Chattanooga, and Dr. Walker, of Union City.
Dr. Hale said he thought the delegation from Nashville would have a special coach, but that this matter was in the hands of another committee, of which Dr. S. S. Caruthers was a member. Dr. Caruthers was seen and he said the delegation would leave Nashville Tuesday morning on the 8:25 train and that he was assured that the number going would be so large that a special coach would have to be furnished. Nashville will have some of the leading physicians in the state at this meeting, who have made special study of the diseases that are threatening the existence of the Negro people.
The following are the officers of the Society: A. N. Kittrell, M. D. President, Memphis; J. H. Hale, M. D. Cor. Secretary, Nashville; O. B. Braithwaite, D. D. S., Treasurer, Memphis; C. R. Wood, M.

Negroes remain hewers of wood and drawers of water. I go further than this. My highest ambition is for us to get the Negro to the point where he will own plenty of wood to hew and own plenty of water to draw. With that problem settled many others will naturally settle themselves. Of the 200,000,000 acres of unused and unoccupied land in the South there are few regions where the Negro is not just as free to buy and occupy this land as is true of the members of any other race. My object is to impress upon the educated man and woman of my race their responsibility and duty in using more in the future than in the past the power that has come to them by reason of education in science, mathematics and literature in doing our part in owning and developing the natural resources of our Southland. Hitherto for reasons that were natural and excusable the educated men and women of our race have not in any large measure been the leaders in the development of the soil. The duty has rested too largely with the unlettered classes. The time has come when our educated classes should seize the opportunity that is before them and right at their door to identify their education with real, tangible, visible, living, throbbing life. Our educated classes should not make the mistake of letting their education remain too artificial, too disconnected from the life of the community in which they live. In every section of the South to-day we need the brain, the skill and the culture of our educated classes in the development of the land, the riches that are in the forests, that are in the minerals, that are in the streams of our country.
The Graduates.
Those who go out from Fisk University to-day go out under auspicious circumstances, go out at a period in the history of our country which the school house is located, is find itself, beginning to find itself in the development of its natural re sources, in education, in moral and religious activity. You go out at a period in the history of the development of the South when, on every hand, there is the demand that the educated classes shall articulate their education into life. This is shown by the activity of the numerous commercial clubs to be found in every Southern center; by the increasing number of farm demonstration agents that are being put into nearly every county of the South; by the increasing number of county and state falks; by the corn shows, by the corn clubs, by the tomato canning clubs. All this means that the South is finding itself as never before. This is shown, too, in the fact that education is being revolu- ized in every s.ction of the South. The old, stilted, artificial, lifeless book education, unconnected with the activities of the community in which the school house s located, is passing away. The people are demanding that education be articulated into life.
"Here in the South we have 20,
00,000 white neighbors. An
important and, at the same time, very
interesting task devolving upon the
educated young man and woman is
solving the problem of helping the
millions of white people in peace
and a state of mutual helpfulness,
each race maintaining its own self-
respect.

in the present and in the near future for 3,000 additional dry goods stores, 5,000 additional grocery stores, 2,000 additional drug stores, 1,500 shoe stores, 1,500 millinery stores and at least 150 additional banks. Equally inviting is the opportunity to inaugurate 1,000 sawmills and brickyards. All this is at the foundation of wealth and prosperity.
"If your talents and inclinations are not directed in any one of these directions, let me add that there are a million Negro children n the South that enter no school. There are hundreds of thousands that are in school only three months in the year. There is need for at least 20,000 additional school houses and an equal number of un to date church houses. We should have n the near future 20,000 additional well-trained teachers. 5,000 physicians, 2,000 dentists and at least 500 Negro veterinary surgeons can find work among both races in the South. There are over fifty cities where Young Men's Christian Association buildings are sorely needed among the people.
Meek shall inherit.
If you follow in letter and in spirit the injunction of the Master, "The meek shall inherit the earth," we can live here in peace and in harmony and develop ourselves to the highest degree by the side of the Southern white man. I have studied the white races a good deal in various parts of the world, and if it becomes my task to convert a white man from what I consider a wrong way of thinking to a right way of thinking, I prefer to take the Southern white man as my subject to experiment upon rather than the white man in any other part of the world. In the fundamental things of life we can co-operate with the Southern white man, and urge you as you go out into the world not to make the mistake of talking merely about the white man, but talk more with him, as khim row you can co-operate with him. Do all this in the spirit of meekness and at the same time in the spirit of manliness.
"There is a spirit of toleration, of co-operation between the two races that is sweeping all through the South at a pace that I have never witnessed before, and if any one institution has done more to bring about this spirit of helpful co-operation between the two races, that is true of Fisk University; in a word, in season and out of season t has taught its men and women the true meaning of the words of the Saviour. "The meek shall inherit the earth."
'In considering the spirit with which you will perform your tasks if you choose the South as your field of operation, do not be discouraged by reason of obstacles. There is one other beatitude that I sometimes feel like putting in the Bible, and that is, 'Blessed is the imperfect, blessed is the incomplete,' for herein is opportunity for growth, for happiness. You are going to meet difficulties and problems, but instead of sitting down and despairing because of these difficulties and problem, let
us thank we have them. I would not care to belong to any race that did not have a great and perplexing problem to overcome. I would rather be a member of the black race, with all its difficultise and harshships, to be a member of any other race beneath the sun."

NATIONAL BENEFIT ASSOCIA TION "GOING SOME"
Special to the Globe.
Washington, D. C., June 10.—The National Benefit Association with headquarters in this city and operating in six states, owning property valued at $200,000 and embracing a membership of 20,000 is doing a phenomenal work for the commercial uplift of the race. It began business fourteen years ago in a $6 per month back room. The Association now owns the building in which it was then a tenant—a modern office-building, with twenty-seven finely appointed ed rooms, valued at about $50,000. After using much of the space for its own offices, the Association collects $1,800 per annum in rents from its tenants. It has regularly employed twenty-seven clerks and stenographers, which with its army of agents, etc. bring up a total of 750 persons making a good living through the N. B. A.

With the Fourth Estate.
Compiled by the National Negro Press Association.
Rev. J. B. Colbert has become joint editor with Dr. P. R. Peters, of The Columbian, at Louisville, Ky.
Thomas Kennedy, for years editor of the Zanesville, Ohio, Advocate, has taken service with the Indianapolis Freeman. The Advocate is now run by Neecham and Jackson.
The Pythian Monitor, edited by Gcn. Joseph L. Jones, at Cincinnati, Ohio, is one of the brightest monolies in the country. It is the official organ of the Knights of Pythias and the Central Regalia Company and carries a goodly quantity of general news in addition to its fraternity put out. General Jones is Supreme Vice-Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, president of the Central Regalia Company, and first vice-president of the National Negro Press Association. He is assisted on the Monitor by Miss Myrtle H. Tolliver as business manager, a charming young lady, who knows the craft from A to Z.
Hardin Tolbert, general correspondent, has opened the Hardin Tolbert State Bureau of Information at Frankfort, Ky. He is planning to organize a state branch of the National Negro Press Association in Kentucky, in co-operation with W. H. Steward, of the American Baptist, and P. H. Kennedy, of the Missionary Visitor, state members of the executive committee.
...
The next convention of the N. N. P. A. will be held at Philadelphia, August 18 and 19. R. R. Wright, Jr., is Pennsylvania's senior member of the executive committee and chairman of the general committee on local arrangements. Preparations are already underway and there is every indication that the Press Association will have the banner convention of its history in the Quaker City.
R. S. Abbott, the hustling editor of the Chicago Defender, is an LL. B., although he puts on no airs over the distinction. The Defender now employs three wagons to deliver the paper to its agents and patrons in the city and suburbs, and is on sale at all the stands on the elevated trains and in the famous "Loop District," the heart of Chicago's business section.
Through the intercession of Lester A. Walton, dramatic and managing editor of the New York Age, Mellville E. Stone, president of the Associated Press, has recommended that in future the nation's greatest purveyor of the news should use a capital "N" in spelling the word "Negro." A short time ago the New York Evening Post, the New York Evening Mail and the Outlook adopted the capital "N," and now it is likely that the use of the capital will become general throughout the service of the A. P. This is a big victory for Mr. Walton, and the colored people everywhere should accord him the recognition he so eminently deserves for his timely action.

The Chisolm News Service, H. M. Gilliam, manager, Dension, Texas, is sending out some live news.
Practically all of the leading race papers are carrying at their editorial mast-head the significant legend: "Member of the National Negro Press Association." If any editor has not received this card, let him write at once to Corresponding Secretary H. A. Boyd, 447 Fourth avenue, North Nashville, Tenn.
Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the Baptist Sunday-School Congress, "pulled off" a fine line of advertising in furnishing to a lot of Baptist papers a plate service carrying full information touching the big annual session at Muskogee, Okla., June 4th to 9th. The idea is a brilliant one—saving time and expense to the papers using the service—and it will doubtless be imitated by other organizations in the future when nation-wide exploitation is desired, at minimum of cost to all concerned.
The roll of the the N. N. P. A. is very close to the 100-mark, according to a revised list compiled by Secretary Boyd.

A tentative program for the August sessions is being studied by the members of the special sub-committee on program, and some interesting features are in preparation.
Miss Sarah E. Parker has been appointed a traveling agent by the Durham (N. C.) Reformer.
It is not often that a newspaper man is so lucky to become a grandfather twice in five days. Yet this is what happened to Fred R. Moore, editor and publisher of the New York Age, a fortnight ago. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert S. Moore, and similar good fortune came to Mr. and Mrs. Lester A. Walton five days later. Both mothers and babies are doing nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Moore were married June 24th last and Mr. and Mrs. Walton on June 29. They have the heartiest congratulations of the craft.

Miss Annie Mae Vann, general traveling agent and correspondent of the Norfolk Journal Guide, is described as "an expert in extracting the finaling coin from prospective subscribers," and it is further said that "delinquents gleefully give at first sight, for she employs a simple, soothing, subtle little system all her own, which makes them floundate with a laugh." Her "coach-coaxing" and "uncreluring" attributes, they say, earn for her the reputation of
being the "champion subscription getter on the road." The craft needs an army og Miss Vanns, and the Journal and Guide would do well to train up a brigade or two for the benefit of the managers who need somebody who can thus chase and capture the elusive dollars of the realm.

IN BEEKEEPING
By J. S. Ward, State Inspector of Aplaries.
1. Lack of Knowledge. In these days of progress the man who does not "know how" is outstripped in the race and soon drops out of count. In no occupation is education more essential to success than in bee-keeping and the broader the education the better able is the apistar to solve the problems and plan for the best returns. This education should be not alone in the experience of the bee-yard, but in the writings of the most practical bee-keepers. In other words, two or three good text books should be purchased and not simply read but studied as one would study history and grammar. Learn the anatomy and physiology as well as the habits of the bee. Become acquainted with all modern, approved appliances so that an intelligent selection may be made for each location and the purposes of the individual bee-keeper. Subscribe for one or more of the bee journals and attend the meetings of bee-associations.
2. Using Antituned Appliances.
Discard all the old home made boxes and the old "gums" that were cut from the hollow loss in the forest. Transfer from these unsightedly, unprofitable hives to the modern hive with its movable frames and convenient appurtenances. Purchase a good smoker, a veil, use full sheets of comb foundations, get a honey extractor and wax press and success will be the result instead of failure.
3. Starting with too Many Colonies. In no occupation is it more important to start on a small scale than in bee-keeping. One can easily overstock himself in the beginning and become discouraged over not being able to master accumulated details.
Failure results. Star with only four or five swarms. Master them, and then the next year fifteen or twenty can be cared for and later 75 or 100 in each yard. The mastery of outyards belongs to advanced bee-keeping.
4. Carelessness. Successful bee-keeping is an extensive occupation. It is exacting in its details. It brooks no delay. Tomorrow will never do when today demands attention. The busy bee awaits not upon the slothfulness of the sluggard or the delays of the time-killers. The successful apalrist keeps his work all ready for the demands of the swarming season. All supplies should be purchased in the winter time. Hives should be nailed together and painted. Frames should be wired, filled with comb foundations ready for the swarms. Supers should be prepared and stacked up in a honey house, convenient to the apiary, ready for the honey flow. Neglecting these things until the demands come means failure in a honey crop.
Carelessness brings starvation, will start robbing, will encourage the beemoth, and later on the colonies succumb to the ravages of one of the foul-brood diseases. Finally, the beekeep brcheeses discouraged and persuades himself that he hasn't the time anyway to "fool" with bees and failure is the culmination of what might have been the most profitable especially about his farm.

THE USE OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture.
Complaints from users of commercial fertilizer that they did not get the results they expected are numerous and the user thinks it is all because the fertilizer is not what the manufacturers claim for it. In some cases this might be true, but in the majority of cases it has been found that the user was to blame. Fertilizers can be intelligently used with profit. While that is true, many thousands of tons are used in Tennessee each year without any profitable results to the crops and in some cases a direct loss, while in either case the fertilizer with intelligent use under proper conditions would have given satisfactory results.
Users of commercial fertilizers have noticed when turning land in the fall that it has been worked in some summer crop and fertilizer had been used in the drills, the fertilizer would be found undissolved in the drills after the growing season when the fall turning was done. That undissolved fertilizer did the crop grown no good and it is probable that want of moisture caused the fertilizer to cause the plant leaves to fire. No doubt the fertilizer had all the plant food in it that was claimed for it, but there was not enough moisture in the soil to make the plant food available for the plant I have in former "Talks to Farmers" explained how the plants take up their food through the little hairy roots they send out to hunt for it. These roots will not penetrate dry cloaks and extract unavailable plant food. Their food must be in liquid form. There must be moisture in the soil to make it available.
Now farmers, there are a few simple things you must know and that you can easily understand to get the value of your money put in fertilizer for plant food. First, we must have moisture for the plant during the growing season. We can have an abundance of moisture any season for any crop if we will begin in time. We cannot get it so long as we plow from two to four inches. You must have a reservoir to hold the moisture. A deep soil with an abundance of vegetable amter in it makes the best reservoir. You know where land has been plowed shallow for years a hard pan forms under the loose soil that rain will not penetrate, so when the few inches of soil get wet the surplus water runs off and takes with it your plant food. If we want to use commercial fertilizers profitably we must have moisture and we need only fertilizer in proportion to the moisture to make it available. Now is a splendid time to plan for fall work. If you will select now the land for next summer's money crops, get some peas or soy beans on the land this

summer; at the right time this fall, turn under the green crop and follow in the furrow of the turning plow with a subsoll plow; if you can do this in time to prepare the ground and put in a cover crop for winter do so. In the spring turn under the cover crop and as you do so keep the pulverizing harrow close up with the plow, do not let your ground dry out cloddy. Keep pulverizing the soil until you get a good seed bed. If you use commercial fertilizers, begin with a small amount per acre and you can increase the amount per acre as you get more vegetable matter (humus; in your soil to hold the moisture to dissolve the plant in the moisture to dissolve the plant-food in the increased amount of fertilizers.
---
The Department of Agriculture is looking after the manufacturers of commercial fertilizers to keep the quality of their product up to their claims for it and we are succeeding well, but our most important duty is to get the farmer to understand how get his soil in the right condition to get the full value in his crops when he uses commercial fertilizers, and if he does not, to get his soil in condition to make available the plant food locked in it. The farmer must be able to store up moisture in his soil for his crops. He can do so by plowing deep, subsoiling, turning under vegetable matter, keeping a winter cover crop, thorough preparation of his seed bed, and through often, shallow cultivation. If the farmer will do these things he will make good crops and I doubt if he will find much cause for complaints at the quality of his fertilizer.

MISS MARIE C. JAMES IN SONG RECITAL.
Washington, D. C., June 4.—At a large song recital last Tuesday evening at the Borean Baptist Church, Miss Marie C. James, a favorite prime comma of this city, proved herself to be an artist of the highest quality and added new laurels to her already richly-laden brow. Miss James has been heard often in star concerts, but at no time in her splendid career has she appeared to such marked advantage as upon this occasion. The large and brilliant audience was in accord with her from the opening selection, and that she thoroughly felt the inspiration of their magnetic approval was indicated by the intensely dramatic fire which she put into her music and the ease with which she entered into the spirit of the classic composers, whose masterpieces she so capably presented.
```markdown
```
Miss James is placed by the most competent critics in the front rank of Afro-American singers. Being gifted by nature with a warm, rich voice of wide range and rare contralto quality, she has enhanced this natural gift by assidious study. All of this entered into the equation at Berean Church and scored for her signal success. She has striven so faithfully to achieve.
Miss James' fine mezzo timbre and versatility were admirably shown in the wide range of the program, which ran the gamut from Schubert's dramatic "Earl King" and the suppressed passion of "Margaret at the Spinning Wheel" to the outburst of joy in Del Riego's "Happy Song," each selection being rendered with adequate expression and an interpretation that was not short of masterly. She was particularly effective in the difficult "Lullaby" from Godard's opera "Jocelyn," with violin obligato by Mr. Felix Fowler Weil, the violin blending harmoniously with Miss James' warm, rich tones an asympathetic grasp of the mother love that the situation demands. She was repeatedly encored and at the conclusion of the "Lullaby," she was presented with a massive bouquet of American roses.
Other selections which caught the fancy of the appreciative audience were "Autumn Gale" by Grieg, "My Heart, at thy Sweet Voice," by Saint Saens, and "Der Wanderer" by Schubert. As an accompanist, Miss Jennie Williams is entitled to a
large meed of praise. She rose to the exacting requirements of every aria, trill or tempo, and gave flawless support to the singer. Mr. Weir's violin solos fully sustained, his enviable reputation as a finished artist, and Miss Clarice Jones at the piano rounded out a program, which for general excellence and admirable balance, has not been equalled in this musical center in many moons. The success of Miss James' initial song recital is particularly gratifying to her host of friends because of the frequency and cheerfulness with which she has responded for a number of years to the calls of churches, schools and movements for the betterment of humanity, and the many helpful services she has rendered absolutely without compensation and oftimes at a serious personal sacrifice.
Miss James is a graduate of the Washington College of Music, one of the very best in the country, and has the distinction of being the only member of the colored race to finish the arduous course of instruction given there. She has done supplementary work in standard schools of music in Boston and New York having specialized at Columbia University in the nation's metropolis. She has long been a teacher in the public schools of Washington and is acknowledged to be one of the most efficient members of the fine corps boasted of in this pub of culture.
The recital was given under the general direction of "The Fereanites, a social organization connected with the Berean Baptist Church, and so pleased are the friends of Miss James that it has been suggested that she make a "James Song Recital" and annual event. Rev. B. F. Rivers is pastor of the church and the committee of "The Bereanites" in charge of the affair was made up of R. C. Douglas, J. W. Butcher, Jr., J. B. Shamwell, Dr. C. Summer Yormley, Mrs. D. F. Rivers, Miss Oris Winfield, Mrs. E. B. Messer, Miss Nancy Atwood and Mrs. Anna Watson.

Candidate For Mayor Addresses Citizens of Twenty-Second Ward.
Mr. Noah W. Cooper, candidate for Mayor of Nashville, addressed a good-sized crowd of citizens of the Twenty-second Ward, Waverly Place, at the Waverly Place Drug Store Thursday night. He took occasion to commend Mayor Howse for his efforts in stamping out ignorance, but condemned him for not enforcing the law against vice.
Mr. Cooper said in part: "A new era in our city government begins next October. We have set our hopes to make it better than the last. Forward march to better service! That is the spirit and letter of our new commission form of government.
"Our forefathers, as they declared their independence and started a new era in government, prayerfully sought Jehovah's guidance; closed their glorious Declaration of Independence by 'appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,' and climaxed all its wondrous words by saying 'and for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.' "Who will believe me for invoking their noble spirit now? Even China, the newest republic in the world, has followed their immortal steps, and but lately begged the prayers of the Christian world that God might guide her ship of state. And what nation, state, city or man has ever gone to ruin when Jehovah led the way?
"We all agree with Solomon that in the house of the righteous is much treasure, but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. We don't love trouble, and hence we wish no wicked revenue; we do want much treasure, and hence we wish every house in Nashville to be a house of the righteous.' That is what I want every house and home to be under our new charter. That's my platform in a nutshell, and upon it I beg and shall deserve the support of all our people.
Rule of Triumvirate.
"Our city will hereafter be ruled by five commissioners, one of whom, the Mayor, is given control of the police and health departments, subject only to the vote of three members of the board of five. The charter gives any three members of the board who choose to vote together the power to rule the city, collect and spend its money, elect and dismiss its employees. Under this charter the way is open for a triumvirate to rule us. like that which once ruled Rome. A triumvirate of good men could make an ideal city, but a triumvirate of bad men, like Octavius, Lepidus and Antony, could quickly hurry us to destruction.
"Our Mayor and police speak our ideals to the world, bugling us a Sodom or a Zion. So we may well ask what commandments are laid on them? On this point the new charter is a model of perfection. It puts the Mayor in control of the police and then, in section 35, it says: "It is hereby made the duty of the metropolitan police force that all times of the day and night and the members thereof are accordingly hereby thereunto appointed to especially preserve the public peace, prevent crime, detect and arrest offenders, suppress riots, protect the rights of persons and property, guard the public health preserve order at elections, see that nuisances are removed, and restrain disorderly houses, houses of ill-fame and gambling houses; to assist, advise and protect strangers and travelers in the public streets, at steamboat landings or at railroad stations; to enforce every law of the state and ordinance of the city relating to the suppression and punishment of crime, or to the public health or to disorderly persons.
"Here are the plain and positive commandments to the Mayor and the police. We have stringent state and city laws against practically every evil. The charter reaffirms all these laws and commands the enforcement of them all. One and only one path is marked out for the Mayor and police to travel. It is a highway of virtue. As our next Mayor, I shall keep the spirit and letter of the new charter. No honorable man would do otherwise. And I speak the standard of every known code of morals when I say that no man who wishes to preserve, segregate or palliate a single saloon, brothel, gambling or d'orderly house anywhere in this city can honorably be elected, nor honestly fill the office of Mayor. For we have both city and state laws positively forbidding all these evils, and the Mayor's chief duty is to enforce these laws. Startling as it may seem to some, the present Legislature, through this new charter, has reaffirmed all our antisaloon, anti-brothel, anti-gambling and anti-vice laws. There is no question of segregation. The charter requires not regulation nor segregation of evils, but their suppression everywhere. And I am a candidate under the charter and not above it; to obey it and not destroy it.
St. Patrick's Policy in Our Charter.
"This charter pursues St. Patrick's policy in driving all the snakes out of Old Erin. He didn't drive all the snakes out of the countries into Dublin, and leave them there to breed and bite the urban people, and then creep back to bite the hills and valleys. He pursued a state-wide policy in the state of Ireland and drove all the snakes out of the countries cities; thereby setting the example, honored in our new charter, of utterly suppressing every evil wherever found. Every evil is like those snakes. If you don't decapitate evil,
evil will decapitate you. Harboring or segregating evil in the center of the city is like driving cancer, leprosy or gingerine from your hands and feet into your heart. Harbor it anywhere and 'will spread everywhere. Let the devil in your kitchen and he will meet you in the parlor. Toy with him in the byways and he will ride with you in the highways while mourners weep behind. Do you ant the Scorpion On the Baby's Wrist to creep up his leeves and bite him on his bosom? No—you strike the scorpion clear away from the child and stamp it to the earth. Our new charter commands this conduct upon our Mayor and police. To elect a man who would do otherwise would be to pay him $6,000 per year to violate our charter, lower our ideals, debauch public mora's and promote perjury and perdition. It would be like boosting Beelzebub for point of the old ship Zion.
Less Crime and Lower Taxes
Less Crime and Lower Taxes.
The loudest cry of our city is for less crime and lower taxes. It comes from quarters high and low; from the Negro's dreary hovel where his famished wife and children await his return from prison and from the palace home where the prodigal son or daughter has dallied dolefully with the demons, I will bring a witness whom none will deny. Chief Henry Curran in his last annual report to the Mayor says our police made 10,380 arrests in 1911 and 12,006 in 1912; an alarming increase of nearly 20 per cent. in one year. If our taxes had increased at that rate we would have had a revolution. Our constables and deputies, I am sure, arrested as many as our police in 1912, for it was a memorable year for crime, as all our court records show. So there were nearly 25,000 persons arrested here in 1912; an average of about one person to every family last year we enrolled about 17,000 in our schools and 25,000 in our courts. From our public high school of virtue we graduated 151 glorious girls and boys; and from our public high and low schools of vice we graduated a far greater number of felons murderers and suicides. This is an palling. It shows a horrid growth of crime that needs heroic treatment.
'On January 4, 1913, the Banner printed the New Year's wish of our Chief of Police, Henry Curran, in which he said, 'I wish for fewer police cases in the Police Court; not for the benefit of my department, or myself, but for the benefit of mankind and the good women, who so often have to suffer by arrests that we have to make.'
"That was a noble wish from a kindly heart. O, my countrymen! We answer Chief Curran's prayer and the prayers of our grief-streken homes. We must stop the crime, breeders if we would reduce crime, punishing peccadillos, little snakes and small offenders will avail but little, so long as we feed and pet the monster mothers that breed them. Any Mayor who becomes the pet champion of the crime breeders and home-wreckers of our city, becomes a pest to every household. A Mayor's private and public life should be a constant inspiration to all that is true, beautiful and good. No public official can be better than his private life.
Dr. W. E. Hibbett, our health officer, is ably pursuing the righteous policy of prevention of disease; and that is the only true policy to preserve our health, peace, money and morals.
"I am running as the enemy of no man, the friend of all. I am the enemy of the devil and all hiswickedness, but the friend of every fellow-being. I came with no sword for my fellowmen; but I would come like St. George of old, with a sword for the dragons or evil that corrupt our youth and ruin our homes; and thus free my fellow-beings from the bondage of vice and help them on to higher life.
Taxes and Debts.
"Our taxes are too heavy. Behold the burden! Every family here has to pay an average tax per year of $110 to our city; $40 to our county; $11.50 to our state; and $50 to our nation. This staggering yearly tax of $211.50 per family is too much. The poorman may think he doesn't pay that much, but in some way he does. The laboring man sweats it out for us all.
"I shall do my best to reduce our city tax from $15 on $1,000 to $14 on $1,000 next year without injury to our schools or benevolences. Then we must remember that we have bonded debts hanging over us now amounting per family to $240 for our city; $50 for our county; $30 for our state and $51 for our nation. Now an annual tax of $211.50 per family and a public debt of $371 per family, together with our private debts and the high cost of living ought to make us pause and ponder before any more debts are made, autos bought, salaries raised or taxes laid.
"Then Satan seems to have gotten a permit to collect double taxes of our people; and this he takes in blighted youth and wasted lives. I promise you now that I shall cancel all his permits from this city and fork him out the city's gates. Twould be easier to pay our money tax if Satan's toll were ended. I am doing my best to chain him in the pit and I beg the help of every citizen who loves his wife, his mother, his children, his friends or his country.
Mayor's Good Example.
"I thank our present Mayor for all his good examples. He has lawfully ordered us with bugle sound to cut the weeds from our lots. I shall not only slay the dog-fennels where the rabbits hide, but 'Jimson' weeds of evil, where the deadly demons hide. "He commands our autos to stop violating the speed limit." I shall go further and stop the maniac cars of mammon, which, for tainted money's sake, are daily and publicly running
over the hearts of our mothers and the hopes of our people.
'He has advocated our new statewide compulsory education law; a statewide prohibition law against ignorance, punishing the parent who fails to school his child. I shall go further and favor the compulsory destruction of every school of vice. If it be right to prohibit ignorance everywhere, as the Mayor agrees, it is also right to prohibit vice everywhere.
"Lately he asked our boys on Mother's Day to write their mothers. Good. But I shall urge one step further. I shall ask and be the boy so to live that he can really write his mother and say, 'I then I have kept my promises to you. I kissed me last good-by. I have avoided bad company and evil places, and lived worthy of your prayers and tears. I am living right and I would die like Sam Davis before I would dishonor my sweet mother. Mother, pray often for me that I may be strong to do my whole duty and resist the temptations of this city. This would be but a continuation of my conduct since I came to Nashville, 1887. As God is my helper I would not speak or do what my mother could not praise. What blesses our mothers will bless us all."
Women and Children First!
"Women and children first!" was the cry of chivalry and duty as the Titanic went down. "Twas good to die by, it good to live by. It made men glorious 1ndeath. Twill make us glorious and prosperous in every walk of life.
Negro Citizens:
"There are 35,000 Negroes here. They are our brothers. We have a common destiny. What helps them will help us all. What hurts them will hurt us all. Nashville is the center of Negro education and culture in the south, and all of our citizens must unite to make and keep it a centre of righteous influences that radiate around the world. Our Negro voters can turn tide for good or evil. They pay their taxes and have their burdens; but, sad to say, they are being tempted and destroyed physically and morally, four times as fast as your white folks. Our court records show this, and we see it everywhere. Now, who and what is thus destroying the Negro? Behold the seductive slime pits into which colored men and women, boys and girls, are thronging to their death! Dishonoring their race and disgracing us who suffer such degradation.
"I rejoice that our sensible Negroes are in open protest against these lawless pest holes, long open be all eyes, day and night, Sunday and Monday: these open doors to hell which our present Mayor could shut up with a word, but will not.
"Our Negroes helped to give him office. But now I see to hear them asking him for bread and receive a stone; asking for a fish and only getting a serpent. Though free with his money, he has withheld from them what is better than gold—the power of his office in active suppression of the evils now destroying their wages, homes souls and bodies. The Mayor's sword that should be gleaning in defense of Ethiopia, is still rustling in its scabbard; and his club of Hercules given him by law to strike down every hydra and lift up every virtue; that mighty club, neglected and forlorn, seems silently sleeping and soaking in the old Cascade. I am persuaded that 'Ethiopia will soon stretch out her hand to God' and get deliverance from her task masters. I shall use every power of my office to bring her deliverance and prosperity.
Abutting Property Law and. T. C. Railroad
"The abutting property tax law can be made an engine of oppression. Its use can only be proper when the people and public necessity demand it. "I shall do my utmost to save our $1,000,000 stock in the Tennessee Central Railroad. Not to do all lawful things to save it would be an unhardonable crime on our people who voted it.
"I shall use my every vote and power to aid every city agency to relieve distress in every form.
"Our charter requires us to vote and act as patriots, not as partisans; as members of one big family, not as warring clans; to lay aside politics and seek only to serve all the people. I shall follow this requirement in voting for members of our Park Board, Humane Board, Hospital Board, Education Board, policemen, firemen, watermen and lightmen, and in voting for every collection and expenditure of the money of our people.
School Children
"We have nearly 17,000 school children. I shall daily honor and defend them, every one, in private walk and public act. They are our chiefest treasures; their high moral character, the Palladium of our city. Their moral and material welfare will have my constant care. If your Mayor should pave your streets with gold and your alleys with diamonds it would not repair the loss of the character or life of one little child, black or white.
"I entered this fight to win a victory for our mothers and children; and on October 14 I expect to be inaugurated Mavor in their heavenly presence. Fidelity to them will fill my term, or any Mayor's term, with glory.
Perfect City.
"Our city pays enough taxes and has enough good men and women to make it the cleanest, sweetest, purest healthiest and happiest city in the world, and I shall boost that job every day and hour. I appeal to the righteousness and intelligence of all our people to forward this great movement. None of us are so bad as not to love the right and honor the righteous. None of us so good but what we could improve.
"I seek no honor that does not soring from the general good of all. My only ambition is that we shall do our whole duty to each other and thus advance our city."

Y M C A 2 SO STARS O
In a game full of ginger and replete with brilliant play the Y. M. C. A. defeated the Southern Stars on their own grounds Saturday, near Belmont. A record breaking crowd was out and rooting was fierce. It was a pitcher's battle and was anybody's pitch, until the last ball was pitched. Only three hits were made, two going to the Y. M. C.

The principal speaker of the occasion, Prof. J. A. Booker, A. M., D. D. President of the Arkansas Baptist College at Little Rock, with Chairman Clark and Director R. H. Boyd were conspicuous figures in the parade in the afternoon. Prof. Booker spoke for about forty-five minutes relating the achievements of the Negro Baptists, showing how they had been able to build not only denominational enterprises, but now they had been able to permanently inject into the masses of the people racial ambition. At the conclusion of the speech a general jubilee was indulged in invocation was given upon announcement of the fact that a Cadets Corps of Sunday-school boys, a new feature in Sunday-school work, had been launched.
Sunday at 11 o'clock visiting preachers filled the pulpits of the city, while the Congress Superintendents took charge of the Sundays schools in the morning. On Sunday night Rev. L. C. Lewis, of Opelousas, La, preached the farewell sermon. At 11 o'clock, with Chairman Clark on the one side, Director R. H. Boyd on the other, with Secretary Henry Allen Boyd in the center, while around were grouped the other Congress officials, together with Secretaries Hudson and Easterling, the Eighth Annual Session of the Congress was announced closed. On Monday morning the entire delegate body with their special train left for their homes.

ANOTHER JUBILEE SINGER
(Continued from Page 4.) and considering the demands of the work, just at this time, the plan was altered. I received a message today saying that there were quite large interests at stake for Texas in connection with the bequest of one of our dear friends there, and that my presence would be demanded next week. It seemed that, in order to make that long journey I must get things here in shape for leaving, and so, after careful consideration it was decided that I ought not to go. I know you will understand that we would gladly be with you in this time of sorrow. We shall pray for you that you may be comforted and that because of this experience through which you are passing, God may be able to use you even more than he has done in the past, for the glory of his kingdom.
We are joining with the other Boards in sending a floral tribute, which is to express to you, in a feasible way, our appreciation and our sympathy. May our father comfort you as He alone can.
Rev. Preston Taylor.
Very Dear Pastor: The sad news of the death of Sister Georgia reached me Saturday afternoon, quite a surprise to me. I announced it to my congregation also, and it seemed to be a shock to all who heard it, but we know that the Bible teaches us, "Here we have no continuing city," so we must console ourselves by these words. Be of good cheer and we will overcome the world. I extend to you my heartfelt sympathy for the grievances of all those concerned. My wife sends her best regards to you and joins me in sympathy. The church joins me also. I remain your son in the gospel,
Elder Preston Taylor.
Dear Sir: I notice in Saturday evening's Banner that you had lost your faithful wife. Please accept my deepest sympathy in your hour of sorrow. Yours very truly.
President Tay of Laos.
Dear Sir: It is with profound sorrow that I sympathy I learn of the death of your dear, good wife. May God who gave and God who takeeth away (in His Great goodness) give you his comforting influences, whom he chasteneth, let me offer to you in this great your loss, is his eternal gain of happiness, peace, and rest with her Lord and Master forever.
May God comfort you and bless you, is the wish of one who has passed under his rod in a similar loss. I am yours sincerely.
Dear Brother Taylor: In this hour of your deepest sorrow we beg to tender to you our profound sympathy.
