Lynnville, Tenn., June 23.—At the Round Hill Baptist Church here yesterday the annual basket meeting was held. A great outpouring of the people on this occasion demonstrated the fact that the citizens of this community are set on keeping the historic day alive. The Sunday-school was largely attended and the Temperance Lesson was discussed with deep earnestness. Prof. Nansen, Rev. Braden and Mr. D. A. Hart, editor of the Nashville Globe were introduced and made short talks. At the opening of the services the house was crowded, many being compelled to remain on the outside. Rev. J. S. Gilmore introduced Mr. Hart, who printed "The Monitor," a book containing the history of the Richland Creek Association, in which Round Hill Baptist Church is located. In introducing the speaker, Dr. Gilmore said: "This is the man who printed the history of this church; he is is the man with whom I made the contract and he was set here to-day to read this sketch that I will point out to him in a few minutes. He did not know what he was coming here to-day for, any more than I did, but I deemed it very appropriate that he who made the book should on the forty-seventh anniversary of the history of this church read from a book printed by him, this sketch."
Mr. Hart then read from "The Monitor" that portion of the book that referred specifically to Round Hill Baptist Church. In concluding he said: "I am deeply impressed with this occasion. This is a big day for me. Little did I dream, several years ago when I was printing this book for Dr. Glmore, that I would ever be called on in this church to read the lines that I have just read. When this book was being published there were times when I became so deeply interested in its matter that I would forget that I was working and I would find myself completely absorbed in the history of this Association and I recall to my mind to-day very distinctly this portion of the history that refers to the Round Hill Baptist Church. As I stand in your presence to-day I feel greatly inspired and highly complimented at having this privilege of reading this history to you.
"The community in which the Round Hill Baptist Church is located" is one where Negroes own farms for miles in every direction in a radius of about seven miles. The farms are prosperous and the families are perpetuated. The young people who grow up in a community like Round Hill do not go away to large cities when they reach manhood and womanhood, but the parents get together and start the young men in business. A little farm is purchased for the young man, he is encouraged to get him a wife and settle down in life. By this method the landowners are increasing and young people are induced to remain on the farm. There is a degree of intelligence that is able to average the most improved methods in farming and the community is an ideal one from every point of view.
The services on this occasion were fully indicative of the progress and prosperity of the people in the community. Rev. H. A. Braden was the first speaker, he preached a forceful sermon and when he stopped after about twenty minutes in which he had stirred the people to a high pitch, sheer was heard from all parts of the house the cry of "Go on." "Preach ahead," but as there were several others to speak he could not be induced to do so.
The next speaker was Rev. J. S. Cilmore, founder of the church. Dr. Cilmore might appropriately be called the Old War Horse of Round Hill settlement. He took for his text Matthew 20th chapter, a portion of the 2nd and 12th verses, and Matthew 26th chapter and 19th verse. He preached a forceful sermon, full of wisdom and showed clearly how he has been such a force in building up the community. Forty-seven years ago he established the church at Round Hill, and if he serves them as pastor until October he will have served them thirty-one years. In his sermon he emphasized what it meant to do little deeds of kindness to people and pointed out that it was the duty of all to make sacrifices for humanity. Dr. Cilmore is loved and highly respected by all the people in nomination, and when he is in Round Hill all turn out to see him.
Rev. Caswell pastor of the Round Hill A. M. E. Church, offered prayer. (Continued on Page 8.)

NASHVILLE MAN HEADS PUBLIC
TY BUREAU
Some weeks ago Reverend E. C. Morris, D. D., President of the National Baptist Convention, visited this city to look over the grounds and take in such surroundings of Nashville that pertain to the coming National Baptist Convention. Prior to the coming of Doctor Morris, as well as immediately after his departure, quite a number of prominent Baptists were also noticed on the streets. It has just developed that one of the purposes of the visit of the President of the Convention was to select headquarters and arrange for the Publicity Bureau of the coming "Jubilee Celebration" that is to be held in connection with the coming Convention known as "Fifty years of Freedom." It was learned that after a careful survey of newspaper men, all competent and experienced, had been taken with a view to making a selection, that H. A. Boyd, of this city, had been selected and placed in charge of
the Publicity Bureau, and that he is to have charge of the exhibits of the coming Convention.
The department of exhibits and the Publicity Bureau have been opened by Mr. Boyd, who will have able and competent assistants, together with stenographers and clerks, to push the work of exhibits and news matter unceasingly from now until September.
Mr. Boyd was seen a few days ago and stated that he was in correspondence with 200 newspapers, and that from now on on every feature of the Exposition would be brought out, and that full information regarding every department of this Exposition would be given to the public. As soon as the local committee completes its organization, personal correspondence will be sent to every newspaper in the United States. One of the works of the Publicity Bureau will be to keep in touch with the leaders of the state delegations, acquainting the delegation in Alabama with that in New York, or in California with the delegation in Michigan, or vica versa. All of this is to be sent out from Nashville by mail and by wire.

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY JUNE 27, 1913.
MULLINS, DISPUTES JONAH
GIVES HIS OWN VERSION OF THE CONTROVERSY
Says Jonah Came on Mysterious Mission—The Honorable Mr. Mullins Engaged in Organizing Farmers—Planning to Build Negro Town—Jonah Agreed to Help—To Lecture Two Nights.
The controversy between Mr. J. B. Mullins, the founder of Hortense, a town site situated in Dickson County, and the one Rev. Jonah, a white gentleman who has been in this city for some time, seems to grow intense at times. Mr. Mullins says Mr. Jonah has imposed on him and has taken too much liberty with his name. Rev. Jonah says Mr. Mullin is mistaken, and now Mr. Mullins comes back and says that Jonah is mistaken, or in other words, these two gentlemen are assigning each other to the Ananias Club.
Mr. Mullins was seen by a Globe representative and his attention was called to the fact that Rev. Jonah had contradicted the charge lodged against him, so Mr. Mullins gave to the Globe what is quoted to be a true status of the case. His statement is as follows:
Rev. Jonah, a white man who came to this city about two months ago, had come, it seems, on a mysterious mission. When he came he found me engaged in working up a farmer's institution in Davidson county and the fostering of plans to build a colored town in Hortense, a more progressive idea that we began two years ago. I explained my plang to him and he consented to help him. I engaged him to lecture three nights, which he did. He lectured on Hortense. In Saturday's Globe in an attempt to answer my statement, Rev. Jonah sends forth a long article but he cleverly denies making the statement. I charged that he used my name without my permission. In his statement he makes me out a falsehood, but I reiterate that he used my name without my permission.
Respectfully,
J. B. MULLINS.
DEATH OF MRS. SAUL BUFORD
OF CHICAGO, ILL.
Special to the Globe.
Franklin, Tenn., June 24, 1913.—Mrs. Saul Buford, who lived in Chicago, Ill., died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Hughes, June 17th. Mrs. Buford had been ill for some time and spent most of her time last year at Rhea Springs, Tenn. trying to improve her health. She improved but when she returned home she found herself falling again; she then came South and lived with Mrs. Hughes until the final summons. Mrs. Buford was a Miss Mattle Maxwell of Pittsburg, Tenn., where she has a number of friends and relatives. After moving Mr. Saul Buford. They moved to Chicago where they spent ten successful years. Mr. Buford spared no paines nor money in giving her what he thought would comfort her during her illness. After placing her remains in Mount St. L. Overture in a commendable way Mr. Buford left for his home in Chicago Tuesday night, June 24.
DEATH OF MRS. MARY H. HART.
Mrs. Mary H. Hart, of Long Branch, N. J., departed this life June 18th, at 7 o'clock at the home of her niece, 923 Blank street. She had been confined to her bed for quite a while, having had a stroke of paralysis four months ago. She had undergone treatment at Hubbard Hospital, which brought her no relief, and knowing the end was near she asked to be removed to her niece's home.
MR. PACE WILL LEAVE THE SOL
VENT BANK.
It has just been learned here that Mr. H. H. Pace, who has been cashier of the Solvent Bank of Memphis for several years, will soon resign his position to accept the secretaryship of the Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. Pace has been a prominent figure in the bank services for many years and his departure from the well-known institution in that city comes as a surprise to the printers, but the offer made by the Standard Life Insurance Company is a most flattering one and could not be well turned down.
In connection with this change rumor has gained circulation here that the Solvent Bank has cast eyes toward Nashville for a cashier. It is understood that a gentleman prominent in banking services in this city has been tendered the position, however, no verification of the rumor can be made. The banks in Nashville seem to be very well satisfied with their officials and would not let them go without making their offer that it is believed would be equivalent to any that can be made by the metropolis institutions. The rumor, however, persists in going around, and time only will settle the question.
BAPT. PLANNING CONVENTION
BAPT. PLANNING CONVENTION
NATIONAL MEETING IN SEPTEMBER TO BE A BIG AFFAIR
Secretary of Women's Convention Coming—Are Planning Elaborate Exhibit—Miss Burroughs Will Select Meeting Place—Ministers' Conference Down to Business—Low Railroad Rates.
Hardly a week has passed during the past sixty days but that some member prominent in National Baptist Convention affairs has been in this city. And now comes the announcement that Miss N. H. Burroughs, Secretary if the Women's Auxiliary, one of the the boards connected with the Baptist affairs, is expected in the city next week. With the arrival of Miss Burroughs the entire official family, from the president down to the secretaries or most of the boards, operating under the Convention, who have in charge the work of the Convention proper, during the recess of that body, will have dropped over Nashville and looked over the situation. From what could be learned here there is not one of these leading Baptists who have come to the city with a view of getting a line on the advantages offered the teeming thousands that will be here in September, has gone away dissatisfied, but are said to be rather jubilant over the fact that every indication points to greater facilities for handling the large crowds, that are sure to be here, and an equally hospitable waiting population, than ever before.
Such notables in the Baptist circles as Rev. L. G. J.ordan, Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, located at Philadelphia; Prof. R. B. Hudson, A. M., Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, Selma, Ala.; Rev. Robert Mitchell, D. D., Auditor of the National Baptist Convention, Bowling Green, Ky.; Rev. John H. Frank, D. D., of Louisville, Ky.; Mr. Wm. H. Stewart, Editor of the American Baptist of Louisville, Ky.; Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., President of the National Baptist Convention, of Helena, Ark.; Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, D. D., Secretary of the Educational Board, Memphis, Tenn., with the two secretaries: Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., Secretary B. Y. P. U. Eoard, and Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Secretary of the Home Mission and Publishing Boards, will practically complete the official family of Baptists who have found occasion to drop in on Nashville this year, or since the Convention voted to hold its next session in the Athens of the South
Following the visit of Miss Burroughs, next week, the Rev. R. M. Caver, D. D., Secretary of the Baptist Benefit Board, with headquarters at Little Rock, Ark., will come. It was stated that Miss Burroughs who is also President of the National Baptist Training School at Lincoln Heights, a suburb of Washington, D. C., is coming primarily to select a place to hold the Women's Convention, which, while an auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention proper, usually holds its meetings in a separate auditorium. It is stated that Miss Eurroughs, and Miss S. W. Layton of Philadelphia, Pa., the President of the Auxiliary, are planning very extensive exhibits. One large church centrally located and in close proximity to two car lines, and one auditorium located directly on the car line, have been offered to the women; yet it is not known whether they will accept the offer until Miss Burroughs shall have arrived and looked over the field.
At the Ministers' Conference Monday it developed that the Baptists were working and really getting down to business, and that within the next week or ten days the entire plan of operation, in-so-far as the local committee is concerned, will have been outlined. All of the work is being hastened on account of the early announcement on the part of the railroads of the reduced rates for this occasion. It was learned from the Baptist Publishing House this week that the lowest rate ever offered in this territory by railroads since the Interstate Commission law went into effect has been announced for the National Baptist Convention this year. And this is evidence conclusive that the estimate of the attendance has not been overdrawn for the meeting that is to be held in September.

DR. GRAY BEAT UP BY POLICE
DR. GRAY BEAT UP BY POLICE
WAS OUT AT THE CARNIVAL ON CEDAR STREET
Says Police Asked Him What He Was
Doing—Struck Him in the Head
Without Provocation—Arrested
Him and Carried Him to Sta-
tion House—Had to Take
Hack to Go Home—
Deplorable Affair.
Last Friday night at the corner of
Cedar street and Twenty-seventh avenue,
Dr. W. E. Gray was clubbed unmercifully by two policemen. He was struck on the head and a gash cut several inches. He was then arrested and taken to police headquarters, where he was released on bond. From what could be learned the assault was made without provocation. Dr. Gray says he was standing on the street and the police walked up and asked him what he was doing and thereupon began to give him a severe beating. From the officers at the court city it was learned that the patrolmen who made the arrest wee Hagen and Kiger. The trial was called Tuesday morning, but Dr. Gray was not able to leave his room; it was called again at 2 o'clock on the same day but neither Dr. Gray or the officers were present and the case was reset again for Tuesday morning, July 1st. It is thought that by that time Dr. Gray will be able to leave his room.
He was a badly bruised man and suffered from the humiliation as well as from the wounds. Dr. Gray is a regular practicing physician in Nashville and bears a splendid reputation.
$6000 In One Day for Education
To the Baptists of the State of Tennessee and elsewhere, and to the public and friends of education, irrespective of denomination, the following appeal is made:
The American Baptist Home Mission Society, of New York, has set aside $14,000 to assist in building a Boys' Dormitory at Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., on condition that the people of Tennessee raise $6,000, which amount must be in hand before work on the proposed dormitory can be commenced.
There is not enough room to accommodate the young men attending school this session, and this is the reason that this appeal, by the order of the Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University, is being made to Baptists and all other people as well or respond financially to this dormitory project. The fifth Sunday in June, 1913, is set apart as the day to raise the $6,000. We are asking, and most earnestly too, that five thousand Baptists of the State give ONE DOLLAR each, all former students $5 each, and all graduates of Roger Williams University to give not less than $10 each.
Postors and churches are requested to form clubs of twenty-five to fifty members who will send us from one to two dollars each on or before the fifth Sunday in June.
Let the pastors of Nasinville, for the sake of the school, take the lead in this matter. Let the Baptist denomination in Tennessee rise to the dignity of the occasion and contribute the six thousand dollars needed to begin and erect the Boys' Dormitory. Let all Christians pray for financial success on that day.
Rev. Robert Page, pastor of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, heeds the list by pleasing to give on rally day $100. Any amount given by any friend will be gilded received and faithfully appropriated.
All money must be sent to Rev. Wm. Haynes, D. D. Missionary and Educational Secretary for Tennessee. Office No. 447 Fourth avenue, North, Nashville, Tennessee.

MT. JULIET NOTES.
Sunday was an enjoyable day at Mt. Juliet A. M. E. Church. The superintendent and teachers called together the scholars of the Sunday-school. At 9:45 they were entertained with many addresses which will be long remembered in this community. A number of pleasure-seekers enjoyed themselves at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Dibbrell, Jr. Saturday night. All reported a jolly time. A great number of our young people went joy riding out Lebanon pike pike last week. A little boy about ten or twelve years old was on his way afoot from Lebanon to Nashville. He was picked up by this jolly crowd and carried many miles down the pike. A liberal collection was taken up for the little fellow. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stanford are at home after a week's stay with their people at Gladeville.

FARMINGTON NOTES
The weather has been good on the farmers of this county for saving wheat and hay. The weather is dry and hot, the gardeners are beginning to suffer for a rain. On the fourth Sunday the Mill Town M. E. Church of Farmington Circuit celebrated Children's Day in connection with a basket dinner on the ground. The program led by Mrs. Josie Mayberry and Mrs. McClain, was surprising to all heard it. Clay Hill's choir took an active part and sang many beautiful songs. The people collected from every direction, with buggies and hay-riding to an immense number. Dishes of all kinds were prepared by cooks and everybody ate to their fill. The collection was fair. The Count Institute, which has been going on two weeks will close today, Farmington and Lewisburg baseball teams crossed bats last Saturday afternoon in the Russell Park. The score was 11 to 9 in favor of Lewisburg. Mrs. H. L. Lucker entertained Monday night in honor of Mrs. Susie Mayfield, of Nashville, from 8 until 12 o'clock p. m.

GUTHRIE (KY.) NOTES
Services were held at the Guildfield Baptist Church at the regular hour by the pastor, Rev. P. D. Dennis. Sunday was a noted day with the medical fraternity at the State Line Infirmary. There were several major operations, including tumors and amputations. Dr. Waytes was assisted by Drs. Burt and Buckner, of Clarksville, Dr. Frey (white), of Guthrie; Mrs. Lena Cole and Mrs. Jacilia Ramson, trained nurses of Clarksville, assisted during the operation and took charge of the patients afterwards.

Mr. James Gazebrook, of Bowling Green, Ky., spent Monday with Misses Fannie Rush and Rosetta Dennis, Mrs. Pearlie Eaves, of Louisville, Ky., is visiting her mother, Mrs. Johnson.
LEXINGTON NOTES.
We are having some hot and dry weather. Sunday-school is growing rapidly. Mrs. Melie Trice and family have moved into their new home in North Lexington. Rev. D. W. Marks filled his regular appointments last Sunday morning and night. Mrs. Jane Thompson, of Memphis, is visiting her daughter here, Mrs. Mary Howard. Mrs. Sallie Robinson, Chara, her daughter, and Mr. Sam Harman, were called to the bedside of their niece and cousin, Mrs. Louanna Brooks. Rev. S. M. Carmichael preached at his church at 11 o'clock Sunday morning and a very lengthy and interesting Children's Day program was conducted at the M. E. Church by Rev. Mrs. S. M. Carmichael. The house was crowded and everybody present enjoyed themselves. Music by Miss Georgia Trice. Mrs. Addie M. Brown, of East St. Louis, Ill., is visiting relatives and friends, is here always glad to have such a useful woman as Mrs. Brown to visit us. Mr. Dave Taylor is very ill, we hope for him a speedy recovery. Mrs. Lizzie timmelak was disposed of four days last week. Mr. Judson Howard has returned from a three or four weeks' visit in Paducah. Mrs. Johnna Brooks, wife of McAmore Brooks and teacher of Mrs. Amanda West, departed this life June 21, 1913. She professed religion at Carmel Church at Jack's Creek, Tenn. After she moved to Lexington she joined Pilgrim-Rest Church. She has been a Sunday-school teacher for twenty-four years. She lived to be thirty-nine years, eight months and four days old, and devoted all of her Christian life to her church Sunday-school and society. She was a useful woman in her vicinity. She was married twenty years, and lived a quiet, peaceful and faithful life. This community has lost a precious jewel and her vacancy in the church, Sunday-school, home and society can never be filled. Rev. R. H. People preached her funeral from this text: "She hath done what she could." He preached it just as she lived. The U. B. F. did not fail to do their part toward putting her away nicely. She leaves a husband, mother, brother and other relatives and friends. Mrs. Etta Harmon has been very ill, but is rapidly improving.

TEACHERS OF THE DICKSON COUNTY INSTITUTE HIGHLY ENTERTAINED.
Special to the Globe.
Dickson, Tenn., June 20—The teachers of the Dickson County Institute were honorees of a beautifully-planned lawn party Friday afternoon, June 20. It was an ideal afternoon for a lawn party and words cannot express the pleasures of the occasion. After being served to a well-prepared menu the guests enjoyed short speeches on the following subjects: "The Duties of the Profession to the Public," and "The Duties of the Teacher to the Pupil." These addresses under the direction of Prof. Bell, proved to be a mental treat. Dr. H. M. Collier gave a few toasts that were suitable for the occasion. Those present were Dr. H. M. Collier, Rev. B. R. Ross, L. M. Dunn, Irene List, R. Armstrong, A. C. Grimes, L. P. Porter, Beulah Brown, Lillie B. Levelle, Bertie Jones, Julia List, Christine Tidwell, A. B. Porter, Virginia Smith, Cora L.

Our Next Primary.
In a few weeks we are to have our first primary under the new charter. This fact has been mentioned before in these columns, but we deem it wise to go over the same ground again at this time. We do this to emphasize the fact that the voters in Nashville are expected to participate in this primary. That it is to be non-partisan is generally known, but voters must not conceive the idea that because the primary is non-partisan that it will be non-political; there will be just as much energy injected into this primary as there has been in any ever held in Nashville.
Every citizen who has the right to vote owes it to himself and the city to make a careful study of the present situation; he also owes it to himself and to the city to study carefully the new charter. Only in this way will you be able to vote intelligently. There will be the usual army of spellbounders in due course of time, each with a story to tell, but that man can perform his duty best who studies all of the present conditions.
This city has gone through some very strenuous campaigns in the last few years. This condition has been placed by a certain class at the door of the Negro voters, but all who want to admit the truth know that the charge is absolutely groundless. The Negro voters of Nashville have nothing to do with the present conditions, but they can make the present condition worse by not exercising their franchise right. Let us be up and doing and keep up with the times in everything that is lawful. First of all things, pay your poll taxes. The regular registration will be held soon; don't fail to register. These requirements must be met before one can be considered worthy of the right to vote. They will be required of you in the primary as well as in the regular election.
A "Sun" Dream
The Memphis Sun had a dream last week that the Democratic administration had turned all of the Negro Republican office holders out and had filled their places with Negroes who stood by the "died-in-the-wool" contingent in the last election. As to the Republicans being turned out to recreate the dream is coming true so fast that time seems to be outdistanced, but as to turning Democrats into the pickings, good, bad or indifferent—not yet. President Wilson is a great man, and we have faith in him generally speaking. We believe he meant all of the broad and apparently fair promises he made to a distinguished high churchman, but we have never believed that Mr. Wilson has ever thought seriously about the Negro. We look upon him as a man with a big mind, too big to consider so insignificant a part of the citizens of this country as the ten millions of Negroes
But the Wilson attitude is not the whole story. A certain gentleman, now a professor in one of the leading universities in the East, in appointing Supreme Court Judges felt it his duty to come down in Hoke Smith's state and Caswell's state and make up a court of men who, as the president, consider the Negro a very insignificant factor in the nation. Men who by manner born do not believe it necessary to have special laws to guarantee to the Negro his rights, but at the same time can see the need of discriminatory laws to keep the weak Negro off of the strong white man. So, while the dream of the Sun is timely and the disappointment of the Negroes who inclined toward the doctrines of the Democratic party is very keen, we see no cause for jubilation on the part of any Negro, be he Republican or what not.
Truly, these are trying times, not
only from a political standpoint, but from every point of view. But we must meet the issue squarely. The test will require all of the strength of the race, and Negroes, whether Democrats or Republican, are in the final analysis Negroes.
Baptist Educational Daily
Sunday the Baptists of Tennessee will hold a rally to raise $800000 for education. We hope the full amount will be realized. The Baptists can raise more than that on any one day in the year, and the earnestness with which Rev. Wm. Haines, the Missionary and Educational Secretary, has pushed the claim has been such as to awaken all to a full realization of their duty toward the cause of education.
Hats off to Gov. Sulzr, a Demoerat, but not afraid of Negro soldiers. The New York Pennsylvania duet would have been a dandy, but the Tenor was bad.
The National Press Association is putting off her swaddling clothes. Secretary Henry Allen Boyd never stops shorter than success.
If the Klosk is going to serve us tails kind of weather all the time, nobody would regret a "vamose."
Have you bought your goal? Just two more days before the price jumps.
This is the title of a new book by a colored author issued on the Woodruff Press, Omaha, Nebraska.
Although the namirism is tamed with romance it is not fiction. Oscar Devereaux, the son of an Illinois farmer, goes to Chicago and secures employment as a Pullman porter. His duties take him to all points of the country, and he sees great opportunities for young men in the West. He leaves the railroad and decides to become a homestead in South Dakota. He has saved a thousand dollars, and this is invested in land, stock and formal education on the "Little Crow" Reservation. It is a new country, the settlers being all kinds of white people and Devereaux is the only Negro. He undergoes many trials, but prosper and tries to interest of an educated people in the West, but without success. He attributes this to the idea that colored people love, a luxury and case of the cities too much to face the ardor of a new country. He returns to illinois in search of a wife and finally marries the daughter of a Methodist preacher. The girl's family are poor, but full of the "uppish" notions of Chicago, and her father, the minister is a pompous, connected dott, who delights in denouncing progressive Negro leaders, and who considers himself a great man. Devereaux does not share his views, and this arouses the old man's irie, and as he has always taught his daughter to show him he finally persuades her to leave her husband and his Western farm.
"The Conquest" is an interesting story and is full of information that would be helpful to young men and women if they would secure it and read it. It contains things, that included concludes of "no chance" the Negro should abandon the notion that everything worth having is in the cities, should open his eyes to the many opportunities that are offered to any energetic people in the United States.

WHAT SHOULD A LOCAL
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
Mr. Chairman, members of the Volunteer State Medical, Dental & Pharmaceutical Association, ladies and gentlemen—A year ago I had the pleasure of reading to you a paper on the "Reiation of the Pharmacist to the Physician," and today I bring to you for consideration a paper which will not deal with ideals impossible of attachment, glittering generalities or "Soft Soap," but one imbued with an impulse to bring about a better understanding, which will cement us together as one—working hand in hand toward the same goal. I had proposed to bring to you on this occasion a paper on some scientific subject, but soon gave up the idea owing to the urgent need of a more practical subject, hence my reason for changing.
For what should a local Medical Association Stand? By local medical association I mean our local medical associations with their two allied professions. A local medical association should stand for every principle necessary for its success and full development. First of all, the most important function of an association should be to lay a solid foundation for that unanimity and brotherhood which is necessary to the dignity and usefulness of the profession. Way back in antiquity we read of groups of men coming together, and organizing for specific purposes. A lo-

cal medical association may be likened to a family where the intimate relationship in thought, sentiment and feeling as well as the practical cooperation in all forms of social life are represented. In our association we are supposed to have all these elements represented, otherwise we are not living up to its object. In this connection it is well to mention the fact that an association should stand for the principles of Medical Ethics.
Any one whose name is enrolled on the books of an association signifies that by virtue of his own will and trust he means to take upon himself the obligation to uphold its dignity and honor, to raise higher its standing and broaden its bounds of usefulness; at the same time he creates a new desire for more knowledge, wider experience and greater skill. Surely personal knowledge gotten from papers read and discussed in an association prove of greater value to one than the information derived from the reading of medical journals.
Again, I will state that unity and friendship are essential to the dignity and usefulness of the profession. I dare say that all of us long for these two elements in our associations. But oh, how hard it is to attain them. The very life of the physician, pharmacist and dentist is one of trials and tribulations—constant warfare. As a

result he often vents his feelings against his professional brothers. You may ask what is the remedy. I will say to you, keep the ideal in mind—Medical Ethics.
Another very important element in association work is co-operation. The Colored Medical Associations are coming face to face with a condition which means that we must get closer together, as members of the three respective professions or else suffer the consequences. Free dispensaries are being established in our cities, which mean a decrease in work for the Negro physicians, less work for the Negro pharmacist and equal play for the colored dentist. This, my friends, should be an incentive to us. Every individual member should give his conscientious support to his respective association, so as to meet the emergency. At this point allow me to bring to your mind a very undestable element

in the life of any association, namely selfishness. This element, gentlemen has been the cause of more dissensions in our associations to any thing else. It has robbed us of knowledge and the opportunity of doing good for our fellow men. To the physicians. I will say, you have allied with you in the various associations, members of the dental and pharmaceutical profession. Some of them your associates and chums while in college, both sharing each others "ups and downs" only to be broken after you have found your respective fields of labor. Why should this friendship cease to exist? Why should you cease to share each other's interests? This is particularly true with you. Your relation to the pharmacist. Yearly our schools of pharmacy turn out scores of young men and women, and I venture to say that 60 per cent of them return to take the medicine. You may return to take the medicine. After a careful study of this subject I will place myself on record as saying that first the young pharmacist does not get the necessary support form his brother physician; second, the means of the colored pharmacist are limited in that he is unable to run over a year without the increase support of the physician, and lastly, his lack of professional experience and business qualities. Since this condition exists what is the remedy? I will suggest that you give him more consideration in your meetings, by discussing at times subjects that will be of more benefit to him in his profession. When he brings you literature do him the courtesy of acknowledging same in some manner or other and speak a good word for him to your patients. We realize that you are busy with your work, yet you should bear in mind that we are all brothers working together toward the same goal.
You will, no doubt, agree with me when I say that you would not be connected long with any organization spending your time and money without deriving some material benefits from it. What are our medical associations doing to correct these wrongs? These conditions exist and well are we aware of them. The time is at hand, gentlemen, when the laity is beginning to question the earnestness of some of our would-be leaders who preach race pride on public occasions and fail to practice it themselves. I hope the time is near at hand when our educated men will not only be leaders in speech, but in action as well. What a power for good we can exert in our associations if we would only use it. In them we have the essence of our race, the quintessence of all that is cultured and refined, armed with the necessary weapons to mold public opinion.
In our own line of work we are all educators; our real education must coem from within. It must be a well of living water in each soul. We who teach through medicine, through pharmacy, through dentistry are to improve and correct not by main force, not by authority, not by our own im-

It goes without saying that Rev. G. B. Taylor has done a meritorious work in bringing about a union of the South Nashville churches. This union was organized in October, 1912. Since that time the five churches constituting the union have given to church purposes from their campaign efforts $584.60. If five churches can do this by uniting what would the forty-two Baptist churches located about our city be able to do if they would unite. I am writing this that the other ministers might read and consider the indisputable fact that where there is unity there is strength. REV. G. B. TAYLOR

One of the most delightful meetings of the Noche Miercoles Club was enjoyed at the comfortable and spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Guild, Sylvan street, East Side. The house was brilliantly illuminated and tastefully decorated. In the parlor were stands of marechal nell roses and ferns. The meeting was opened by the president, Mrs. Phineas Baker and after the transaction of much important business, the evening was delightfully spent in "Whist." At the conclusion of the whist games, the hostess in her usual affable manner served a delectable two course menu, including ices and individual cakes in which the color motif of pink and white was effectively enhanced. The individual cakes were especially pretty being ticed in white with pink decorations. Those who enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Guild's hospitality were, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Austin, Mrs. G. P.

In these chapters (as told by himself) is the story of a young sleeping car porter who was discontented; that is, he possessed energy—a desire to become more than just "George." To have a part in American progress or to be "a cog in the wheel" was the big idea. "Go West young man and grow up with the country was the final ultimatum."
What followed this advent makes up a story--of unusual interest. A thrilling tale of Homestead development and town building, with a strong human interest and a strange outcome of a love affair. It is truly a story of Conquest.

He also impressed upon the members the necessity of valuing time, because every minute means something to the youth of to-day. The attendance was not what it should have been, by any means.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Men's Meeting last Sunday 4 p.m. at Clark Memorial Church, with Dr. D. Shamborguer as speaker, was well attended. Dr. Shamborguer's method of pointing men to Christ is destined to result in reaching many of the hitherto unreached young men of this city.
a meeting next Sunday at 4 p. m. will be held at the corner of ten and Fairview avenues. The committee that is responsible for this meeting are men who seem to be conscious of a lost chord in the lives of men and are willing to unite with the Y. M. C. A. for the sole purpose of making the C. distinct. Men want Christ or Christianity worse than they do anything else under the sun. L. N. H. Plus will address the meeting. Dr. Plus is a man who knows men probably as few men do. He's appeal. Sunday will be such as will men think about their souls.
The Y. M. C. A. baseball team Saturday won a sweeping victory over the Globe. They will meet N. & C. Stars next Saturday. See the League Schedule for time and place. The Committee of Management met Tuesday, 8 p. m. and elected officers for the ensuing year. Prof H Keith, who has rendered faithful and efficient service for the past year, was succeeded by Dr. S. S. Caruthers as chairman. Mr. Wm Crawford was elected vice chairman; Prof. F. N. Green recording secretary; and Dr. J. H. Hale treasurer. The spirit and interest of the committee were higher than ever before. Business was transacted briefly but thoroughly and each man at the close of the meeting seemed to have had a consciousness that he had rendered a distinct service to the community in doing his best to select the best man available to serve in the places above mentioned. It is natural to expect some new things during the present administration. Dr. Caruthers is favorably known among a class of young men that have not taken any special interest in the work. He will no doubt be able to tie them up with the Association.

THE KING'S MOUNTAIN STUDENT'S CONFERENCE.
By Rev. Geo. W. Moore.
The King's Mountain Students' Conference was held at Lincoln Academy, King's Mountain, N. C., recently. This was the second conference held at this mountain retreat four miles from the railway station. Nearly one hundred delegates were present from thirty-nine student associations.
The demand for competent leaders in religious and social service among the young men in school and city life makes such a conference an imperative necessity. The purpose of the conference which in a large measure was realized, was clearly defined to be: 1. To deepen and strengthen the spiritual life of the leaders of student associations.
THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUS LEAGUE.
The Fourteenth Annual M. the King's Negro Business will be held in Philadelphia, day, Thursday and Friday 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1913. T.

2. To instruct and train students in the best methods of Christian work.
2. To promote an inspiring consciousness of racial, national and world-wide brotherhood.
4. To help each student choose a life calling to enable him to render largest possible service to his fellowmen at home and abroad.
The location of the conference was all that could be desired for rest, study and spiritual inspiration. The direction of the conference was under the management of the International Committee with the cooperation of the Students' Department. The program was varied; each day was filled with health-helping activities, good fellowship, study and group discussions.
The mornings were devoted to Bible study and the study of religious and social conditions and of methods of association work. "Mission work in Africa" received special attention under the leadership of Dr. W. W. Sheppard, F. R. S., the pioneer missionary to the Congo, West Africa. A platform meeting was held each day at noon, the opening address was an inspiring message from Dr. W. W. Lucus, of Merdidian, Miss., the assistant secretary of Epworth League on the Methodist Episcopal Church. The afternoons were devoted to recreation under the direction of Mr. John R. Pinkett, of Amherst, 1910, the well-known halfback of the Varsity team. Baseball, tennis, mountain-climbing and other outdoor exercises were enjoyed. Each evening at sunset a life-work meeting was held and their new building, which cost inspiration and meditation which was abundant in lasting results. The opening sunset meeting was led by President John Hope of the Atlanta Baptist College. Dr. Hope is a graduate of Brown University and is one of the leading educators of the Negro people.
The platform speakers were the able leaders in Christian work, men who are in close touch with the religious problems of the day, who came with living messages.
Mr. W. A. Hunton, who is just closing his twenty-fifth year of service in the Y. M. C. A. work, was in charge of the Conference. The following is a partial list of those who took part in the program: Rev. H. Ashby Jones, D. D., Augusta, Ga.; W. D. Weatherford, Ph. D., Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. Goe, W. Moore, D. D., Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. Chas, S. Morris, D. R., Norfolk, Va. Prof. A. M. Trawick, Nashville, Tenn., led a section of the conference in the study of social service; Mr. Lewis E. Johnson spoke of the Washington, D. C., Y. M. C. A. an their new building, which cost one hundred thousand dollars.
The following leaders of Bible study work were present: Sec. H. S. Ellott, New York; Sec. C. H. Tobias, Augusta, Ga.; Sec. D. D. Jones, New Orleans, La.; Prof. W. E. Craver, Raleigh, N. C.; Mr. J. G. Logan, Washington, D. C. Speakers were also present from China and Switzerland. While this Students' Conference was in session in the mountains of North Carolina a financial campaign for a new one hundred thousand dollar building was in progress in Cincinnati, under the lead of Dr. J. E. Moorland. The campaign was a great success and was made possible by a generous gift of twenty-five thousand dollars by Mr. Julius Rosen-

LETTER OF INQUIRY.
22 Nevada street, San Antonio, Tex.
June 9, 1913.
Nashville Globe, Nashville, Tenn.
I am sending this inquiring letter to you in quest of Mrs. Bennie Jacko or Mrs. Bennie Lampkins. She was once married to me, but the last time she married a man by the name of Jacko; her mother's name was Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, who lived in San Marcos, Tex. Bennie was a member of the A. M. E. Church. Please forward this letter to the pastor of that church, if you fail to locate her. We have been informed that Bennie was in Nashville. Her people have not been able to hear directly from her in twelve years, and they are anxious to find her, as her mother is dead and they don't know whether she knows of her death. Any information will be gladly received. Please attend to this at once and oblige. Your reliable friend and brother in Christ.
E. H. LAMPKINS.
THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.
The Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Philadelphia, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1913. The Local Negro Business League of Philadelphia has secured from the City Council of that city an appropriation of $5,000 for the entertainment of the delegates and the appropriation has been signed by Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg. The daily sessions of the League will be held at Musical Hall, 808 Locust street; the first night's session will be held at the Academy of Music, Broad and Locust streets, at which time Mayor Blankenburg will speak and President Booker T. Washington will deliver his annual address.
There are now about 600 Local Negro Business Leagues throughout the country, well organized and actively at work emphasizing the League idea in their several centers. In addition there are at present State Negro Business Leagues in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas and one in Illinois, which was organized May 30, 1913, at Springfield. It is expected that delegates from all of these Local and State Leagues will attend the coming meeting and that the reports to be made will be as interesting and encouraging as those of last year, Mr. S. Laing Williams, compiler of the National Organization, in his annual report of the proceedings held in Chicago last year states that there was shown an increase in the number of banks, an increase in the number of corporations, an increase in the ownership of farm lands and crops, a remarkable increase in the number of men and women who are branching out into new lines of business endeavor, an increase in the number of the combinations of capital for the purpose of developing large business enterprises, real estate dealers whose holdings were so large that their accuracy was challenged, but which investigation verified. It is expected that at the Philadelphia meeting in this Fiftieth Anniversary Year of Freedom a showing of racial progress will be made which will hearten and encourage every black man and woman who can possibly arrange to be present.
Each year reduced rates are offered from every section of the country to New York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and other Eastern points. This year the national meeting of the Colored Elks of the country will take place the week before the Business League meeting, and the meeting of the Colored Pythian Organization will be held in Baltimore the week following the Business League meeting. Under the circumstances very low rates will be offered, so that delegates who wish to attend any two, or all three, of these meetings, may do so without undue outlay. Local Leagues and State organizations are urged even thus early to take up with the proper authorities the matter of railroad accommodations. Experience has shown that arrangements can be made for Special Pullman and Tourist Car Parties at very little additional expense, but at considerable addition in the way of comfort and pleasure, especially when congenial parties are organized.
These annual conventions are, as the Boston Transcript says, to a very significant extent, barometers of progress. It is now nineteen years since the first meeting was held in Boston; at that time the organization was in the experimental stage, but it emerged from that a considerable while ago; at that time it was more an occasion for looking hopefully to the future, but now it can present gratifying personal records of progress, and many reports of actual accomplishment and growing confidence; in this respect the Philadelphia meeting is sure to surpass any previous meeting of the League. The annual sessions of the affiliated organizations of the League will be held at the same time—The National Negro Bankers' Association, The National Negro Press Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association and the National Negro Bar Association, a group of the strongest organizations in the country among Negro people.
Further information as to details, plans of the coming meeting, etc., may be secured from: Booker T. Washington, President, J. C. Napier, Chairman, Executive Committee; or from Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.
BISHOP TYREE IN THE CITY.
Bishop Tyree, after a four months sojourn in the East, holding conferences of the First Episcopal District of the Educational Rally, has returned home for a short rest. The accomplishments were reported to have been successful and the educational rally for which Bishop Tyree is famous was successful beyond the most sanguine expectations of the most optimistic. Before coming home Bishop Tyree attended the summer Council of Bishops that convened in Wilberforce, Ohio. When seen by a Globe representative he was looking the picture of health and was in a congenial mood as is his nature.
PROMINENT GEORGIA MINISTER
PASSES AWAY.
News has just reached this city of the death of Rev. T. N. Smith, of Georgia, Rev. Smith was one of the leading men in the A. M. E. Church and at the last conference in Kansas City, he was prominently mentioned for the bishopric. He was a man of rare attainments and of striking personality. It is believed by his friends that had he lived he would have been honored at the next general conference with the highest office in the church. He was in attendance at the Bishops Conference at Wilberforce about the middle of this month and was apparently in good health. When the news was sent out from his home in Savannah that he was dead, it caused a general surprise throughout the country.
By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture.
It is almost a daily occurrence at the Department of Agriculture to receive letters from farmers wanting to know where and how they can get their soil analyzed, so they can have a fertilizer made up to supply the deficient plant food.
Some people imagine if they had an analysis of their soils they could supply the deficiency in plant food with a special fertilizer, and that would be doomed to disappointment. It would be next to impossible to get an average sample of soil, because the analysis of two samples taken 100 feet apart would vary greatly.
The farmer needs to know how to make available the plant food he has in his soil a great deal more than he does the exact amounts his soil contains. His soil could be well supplied with nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, the principal elements needed, and they could be looked up so as to be unavailable for plant food.
Any farmer knows what happens to his soil if he works it too wet. He also knows that if he takes everything off of his ground every year and turns no vegetable matter under, his land is inclined to run together and bake, break up cloudy, and this tendency increases each year because it is losing its vegetable matter (humus). Such a soil will not give the plant growing on it the plan food it contains.
If the farmer wants to make a success in farming he must make the plant food available in his $Bill. He must study nature, as well as books, if he does this. We know of many fields that during our boyhood days produced good crops, but with constant cropping, taking everything off and putting nothing back, they ceased to be profitable. They were abandoned and allowed to grow up in weeds, brilars and brush. After several years those fields were cleared up and again would, for a time, produce profitable crops until the supply of vegetable matter they had accumulated was exhausted.
Nature, if left alone, and the land prevented from washing, will restore land to fertility. What does it add? Vegetable matter and a small amount of nitrogen from the air. The action of the air, rain and frost mixes the decayed vegetable matter with the soil and subsoll, making it loose and loamy and the plant food in it available.
Now if you want to build up your soil and make the plant food in it available, just use the good, hard, common sense God has given you and follow Nature's plan. The first thing Nature does is to increase the vegetable matter and mix it with the soil and subsoll so that the water, air and frost can penetrate it.
I want to ask you farmers to tell me the difference between the soil on top and the subsol below (except alluvia soils)? Is there any difference except the vegetable matter that has accumulated in the top soils? We know that all our soils were fertile according to the formation they were derived from. We know that the soil above and the subsol below are the same, except the soil has had vegetable matter added to make it porous so the water, air and frosts could penetrate it. We know that we have plowed shallow and allowed the rains to carry away the vegetable matter.
We have no worn out lands. We have much with the surface soil washed away, but we can follow Nature's lead; we can get green crop to turn under; we can break up some of the virgin subsoil and mix with the surface soil and vegetable matter during the winter; the rain, frost and air will work for us in making the plant food. We can grow leguminous crops such as peas, beans, clover and vetches to increase our nitrogen. We can use, with care and intelligence, reasonable amounts of acid phosphates, potash and crushed lime. We can, by following Nature's lead, restore our lands to their virgin fertility and get a fair compensation for our labor.
Brother farmer, we have been looking for some hard problem to solve. We thought there was some scientific short cut to big crops. We have neglected the simple things we could do. We have ignored Nature as our teacher and we have paid the penalty. We have tried to jump from the bottom to the top of the ladder at a single bound. We cannot do it. We must climb a round at a time. The scientists at the top reached their position by a study of Nature and neutral conditions. Each step made the next one possible.
If we succeed we must do the things within our reach. We can rebuild our soils. We can unlock the plant food and make it available, but we must follow Nature's plan. We must think about our work and profit by our opportunities. Too many of us think more about other people's business than our own. They are getting the profits. Let's give our best thoughts and energies to the things that are justly entitled to—the rewards.
"The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight;
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night."
TULLAHOMA NOTES
Last Sunday was a great day in Baptist Bottom. Many attended services. The rally was quite a success. The members of the Baptist church are making great preparations to entertain the Elk River Association and each church is asked to send the names of their delegates from the Sunday-school and church to Wm. Jenkins, so that homes may be secured for them. Rev. McCutcheon, of Nashville, preached two great sermons at the Baptist church last Sunday. Miss Mattie C. Martin is with her sister, Mrs. Swift, in Clarksville this week. Mr. L. Landers, of the National Baptist Publishing House, spent last Sunday with his grandmother. Miss Emily Clendonon is ill this week. Rev. Wm. Jenkins will preach for Rev. Scott next Sunday in his raily. Mr. George Erwin, of Warrtace was in town last Satur-

NEGROES’ PRAYERS AND READY
CASH REOPEN THIS BANK.
NOGTSCS eee Tevet = Hesere
Closed Bank's Credit.
Prayers were said in every Negro
church in the city Sunday that the
Peoples Eank and Trust Company,
the only Negro bank in the city,
which closed its doors Saturday
after a run, might reopen. On their
bended knees the Negroes implored
that the “pride, credit and substan-
tiability” of their race might be
saved. ‘The stricken bank was the
subject of the sermon of every col-
ored preacher. Confidence in the
people of their own color was the
text of their sermons.
And tomorrow morning the Peoples
Bank and Trust company, well forti-
fied with cash and giltedge _securl-
‘ties, will again open it doors. It
will be a much better and stronger
bank than it was when the run be
gan.
The bank failed to open its doors
yesterday morning for Deputy State
Bank Examiner W. R. Samuel of Ok-
lahoma City and his assistants were
in charge. But a line of people al-
‘most as long as the line of panic-
striken Negroes, who Saturday atter-
noon had caused the bank to close,
| stood before the doors. It was, how-
ever, made up of men gf a much dit-
ferent spirit. T. J. Elliot, a well
known Negro metchant, was in the
line. In his hand he carried a bag
}which contained $5,000 in cash, He
‘wished to deposit it-in the bank, An-
other had a roll of bills as big around
as an ordinary glass tumbler. It oon-
tained $2,000. Others had smaller
amounts, all in cash, A deposit of
$2,000 came by wire. None of the
deposits were accepted as the bank
was closed. They will all, however,
be placed to the bank’s credit this
morning,
Negroes prominent in thelr race.
yesterday raised $36,000 in securities
which Examiner Samuel declares are
gilt edge. The securities guarantee
the payment of the 100 per cent as-
sessment recently levied by the state
banking board and of $6,000 till un-
paid upon a former assessment.
According to Deputy Examiner
Samuel the bank has ample money
on hand this morning to open for
business,
Internal strife which came to a
climax last week in the filing of a
suit by one of the officers alleging
that the bank's stock was worthless
caused the run, The strife has been
‘settled and the suit will be dropped

| A CRISIS,
The Legislature of California in
passing the Webb antrelien land
bill gave birth to a question of far
reaching consequence to the Negroes
of the Southern States, In the West
em States the social status of the
Japanese and Chinamen are similar
to the status of the Southern Negro.
Now the West, becoming alarmed
over the race question, has seen fit
to enact into law provisions to pro-
hibit Orientals or any alien from own.
ing land more than one year, except
upon their declaration of becoming
citizens, As yet the South has not
gone so far as to agitate and pass
8 milar laws against the thousands of
Negroes who own land in their midst,
but with the present racial and po-
litical unrest we may rest assured
that the day is not far when the
South will be agitating the same
laws which the West is now agi-
tating. ‘The best white friends of
the Negro in the South advise him to
buy land and stay -out of politics,
but the country is now undergoing a
radical change, the Negro’s friends
become fewer and fewer both in the
North and in the South; the Pro-
gressive Party Convention at Chica-
go, last year demonstrated his wan-
ing friendship in the North, while
one will only have to scan a few
p ges of any Southern paper to find
how he stands in the estimation of
the Southern whie man, Everywhere
you will hear the ery for more white
land owners and farmers; you will
notice that the white man delights
to call the attention of otner farm-
ers to the fact that they have no Ne-
groec. As matters now stand any
State could enact a law that would
deprive the Negro from owning land;
tho only thing that would hinder such
» law from bocoming effective is the

tion. If the anti-alien land law is
‘declared valid by the Supreme Court,
you may look for the South to take
‘the initiative in framing laws for
thelr protection similar to those in op
eration in the West; already the
south has taken the ‘right to vote
from the Negro, notwithstanding that
“ is an open violation of the consti
tution. In the end, however, it
makes no difference, as Southern agi
tators in and out of Congress will
use every resource at their command
‘to have the fifteenth amendment re-
pealed, when this is done the Negro
‘will cease to be a citizen and then
it will be an easy matter to deprive
‘him of his land. Today the Negro
jand-owner faces a crisis and some-
thing. must be done. Various plans
will no doubt be brought forward, the
problem must be solved. The white
man has sworn by the eternal that
the Negro shall not have citizenship.
It is up to the Negro to work out his
own problems; if he does not no
one else will. ‘The Japanese will “ot
suffer from the passage of this law,
he will not be injured, the United
States Government will see to that,
if not Japan will see to it herself,

trained army she can demand justice

Mr. Preston Taylor:
Dear Sir and Friend—Have Just re-
celved a copy of the Nashville Globe,
in which I find an account of the
death of your wife, It Is impossible
for me to express in words the sym
pathy that is in my heart for you.
T cati only point you to Him whose
eye is on the sparrow. You know he
watches you. Your burden is heavy
but some day in proportion your joys
will be great,
Very sincerely,

My Dear Brother’ Taylor—
T have just learned through — the
Nashville Globe of the death of your
estimable wife, and while it was not
my good fortune to know Mrs, Tay-
lor personally, yet 1 knéw of her
great worth to our race. I beg per
mission at this late hour to extend
to you my most profound sympathy,
in this your hour of sorest grief. May
the good Lord give you strength to
bear up under this héavy stroke, and
may you console yourself with the
fact that she has gone to that city
to which you are bound.
Very tulf_ yours,

Riitor of Nashville Globe:
Please allow me space enough in
your valuable paper to say with what
profound sympathy I have learned of
the death of Mrs. Georgia Gordon
Taylor, my friend, Monday morning,
the 9th, The editor of the Chatta-
nooga News called me up over the
phone and told me of the death of
Mrs, Taylor and of the funeral. This
was too late to catch a train to be
in time for the funeral, I knew Mrs.
Taylor well, and have read every word
from those who Cand her best in
the Nashville Glob®, and can endorse
every word said. If anything, the
half has not deen told. 1 went’ with
the Jubilee singers from Fisk Univer-
sity and was with Mrs. Taylor for
years in America and the Old World,
until the troup disbanded at Hamp-
burg, Germany, July, 1878, 1 can
truthfully say she was always that
folly, good-natured singer. Never
angry but always paper In Eng-
land when the call Swould come for
some to go and sing to the sick or
poor, she could always be counted
upon. I could tell’ of so many little
things she did to make the world bet-
ter. I bow in sorrow with the very
few of the old Jubilee singers left,
also Mr. Preston Taylor.
Respectfully yours,
H. D- ALEXANDER.

Last Saturday afternoon on the Belmont diamond in South Nashville, the Y. M. C. A. team administered to the Globe team a severe druggage and put that team out of the running for first honors in the pennant race. A small crowd was on hand, owing to the fact that on Monday the people had been given such a treat at the Athletic park. The Y. M. C. A. team only had eight members present, but the manager of the Globe team consented for them to use Newton, first baseman of the Manhattan Stars. He proved a tower of strength for the team and before the contest was over the Globe manager realized that he had not only violated the constitution of the league but had given his opponents decided

Two of the catchers being absent, Boyd was sent behind the bat, while he looked ahead he could not steady the young hurler from Madison. The Y. M. C. A. boys handled the bat so hard that it kept the Globe manager shifting his team during the entire game, but nothing could stop the Y. M. C. A. boys; the result was destined to be a total wrecking of the Globe prospects for the first honors.

BAPTIST HILL SWIFTS, 8 ATHLETICS 7.
Before a large and enthusiastic crowd the Baptist Hill Swifts won their first game Monday evening in the Capital City Leauge, when they beat the strong Athletics 8 to 7 in a five inning contest. It was the second double header pulled off by the City League at Athletic Park, the boys on the east started the junck to hold the Athletic pitchers, and in one inning drove Johnson through the mouth. The Athletics came back with a determination and in the second inning they had the Baptist Hill Swifts under the cover. He was taken out and succeeded by Johnson, the rank defendant went hurling and checked hostilities for a season and until the Baptist Hill Swifts could untie the score in the fifth inning. The Baptist Hill Swifts put over two more in the last half of the inning. The Athletics drove hard to win but to no avail. The score ended 8 to 7.
BLACK SOX 4, BAPTIST HILL
SWITTS 3.
The second contest was to have been played between the Black Sox and the Southern Stars, but the latter team was in Memphis and did not arrive in time, so the second contest was between the Black Sox and the Baptist Hill Swifts. This game was more suburbanly fought than the first. The Baptist Hill Swifts making one in the second and two in the third, and it looked for a time as if they had the game sewed up.
but in the fourth inning the Black Sox made four hits in succession, the last was made by Cantrell, who put a hard one through the short stop, getting away from the fielder and all four men scored. This put the Black Sox one more in the lead. Morman was going well and he held the Baptist Hill Swifts in check. The Black Sox won by one point.
The game scheduled to be played by the Southern Stars and the Black Sox was taken by forfeit. These games closed up the score for the Black Sox, then having played seven games, winning four, losing two and one by forfeit. One game is contested by the Nashville Globe team, which will be settled in the next meeting. This game, if it goes against the Sox, will have to be played over. The A. M. E.'s are playing a steady game, having won four and only lost one. If the A. M. E.'s, win one of the two games they have to play and lose one, and if the game contested by the Globe goes to the Black Sox, these two teams will be tied for the first place. If the Y. M. C. A. wins they will have the same percentage. The Globe and Athletics are now tied for fourth place. The Southern Stars seem to have the sixth place clinched. The Baptist Hill Swift, by winning from the Athletics Monday, have a percentage of 200. The N. & C. Stars are still champions of the South.

The League leaders and the N. & C. Stars played the fastest game of the season on Walden campus. Snappy and full of ginger, free from the least disturbance or delay it proved to the good crowd present an afternoon of genuine, pleasurable sport. The game was played in one hour and twenty minutes.
The A. M. E.'s presented a re-enforced and strengthened line-up, the outfield being made impregnable with Sublette in left and McGavock in center. The former distinguished himself by a brilliant running catch of a hard hit drive, while the latter executed a perfect peg to the plate form deep center nailing his man.
The leaders tried out Taylor their young twirler and for six innings he pitched air-tight ball. In the sixth the N. & C.'s by hitting scored three runs and Captain Mixon desiring to take no chances called Alexander to the box. He stopped everything and the score resulted as given below:

MANAGER MILLER CORRECTS STATEMENT IN TENNESSEAN AND AMERICAN.
Monday's game between the Baptist Hill swifts and the Nashville Black Sox was erroneously reported in Tuesday's issue of the Tennessee and American. It should have read: The Baptist Hill Swifts score on errors, while the Black Sox win on clean hitting, as the summary of the game will clearly show. It also only credits the Sox with two hits, when they got five in one inning for four earned runs, which were as follows: Miller hits to short, which takes a bad bound, one base; Scratton hits over second, one base; Stigger hits to right field, one base, and Campbell, the hard-hitting right fielder of the Black Sox, cleans the bags with a line hit to deep left for four sacks. McGavick, next up, hits for one base and goes to second on center fielder's. Ellis hits to short, out at first; McGavick goes to third. Frye hit by pitcher; Ware and Moorman fanned. Score: four runs, five hits, three errors for the Sox. Moorman struck out seven, hit one man and gave one base on balls. The battery was Moorman and Ware, instead of as reported in morning paper.
In last week's issue of the Globe an
error was made when the Globe team
was credited with twenty-one hits,
when both teams together only made
twenty hits, the Black Sox getting
thirteen and Globe seven.

C. and St. L. Stars. There were seven innings played. The Bloomer Girls won the game, the score being 9 to 8. The Bloomer Girls are a team of Nashville girls under the management of Miss Ida D. Mallory, who have been in training at Greenwood Park since April. They were well posted on alley points and none ever struck out. When the ball was struck it was sent to the fence and very often it went over. The girls were applauded over and over again by a packed grand stand, who seemed to be so highly elated over the game. After the game the children wrapped the May-Pole which took place in the Old Merry-go-rock stand; all were delighted with it. At night there was a Tom Thumb cake walk composed of small children from 3 to 5 years of age, dressed in full dress suits and evening dresses, and they brought the house down with applausts, as well as Sister Masons, a burlesque on Masonry, and then the riding of the real goat broke it all up.
The day was a success in every respect. The money raised was for the benefit of Lee Avenue Christian Church pipe organ fund. The members extend Elder Taylor hearty thanks for his many kindnesses and donations on that day.

Taylor's pitching was gilt edge last Saturday and many believed that he could have finished his game with victory. But it was a chance and the A. M. E.'s are not taking any more chances these days.
O you fast going Black Sox! We want you again as soon as possible—not because we hope to have a cinch, but we want to prove something. See?
***
Out on Belmont we meet the Southern Stars Saturday, (Yes, fellows they'll be back from Memphis by that time) and won't there be some ball playing. Somebody's going to get beat up pretty much too.
Look at the League standing, will you? Gee! what a fight. The Sox and the Y. M. C. A.'s swinging on to our coat tails. We must break away. All right, we're gone. Come on boys.
Don't overlook the fact that Martin of the N. & O's was pitching some Saturday. Only five hits allowed. Good.
CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE MEETING
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
On Wednesday night at the Nashville Globe office the regular monthly meeting of the Capital City League will be held. This meeting will be only for the Executive Committee, which consists of the president of each club and the other league officers.
STEVE McCALL DIES.
Mr. Steve McCall, second baseman and captain o., the Baptist Hill Swift team, died Wednesday night from injuries received Monday afternoon while playing the Athletics. Both teams are members of the Capital City League, an organization of local ball players.
Mr. McCall was the second batter up in the first inning. He was hit by a pitched ball, and after taking first base he easily stole second. It was in the attempt to take third on an infield hit. Mr. McCall made a fade away slide, that caused internal injuries, from which he died on the 25th. This is the first accident that has happened since the beginning of the season.
Mr. McCall was a No. 1 good ball player, and best of all, he was a gentleman on and off the field.
SMYRNA NOTES
