NASHVILLE GLOBE. BOYS COME FROM EYERY QUARTER AND RALLY AROUND THE FLAG. Enthusiastic Meeting Monday Night —Meharry Auditorium Packed With Visitors and Citizens— Welcome by Dr. C. V. Ro- man—Dean Hubbard on Meharry. The first reunion of the Meharry Medical College was held in Meharry Auditorium Monday night at ha- past seven o'clock. The meeting was opened by singing, "Crown Him Lord of All," led by Dr. J. T. Phillips, of Nashville, who is the author of the Meharry Song "Crimson and Black." Dr. John A. Kumler led in prayer. After which the congrega- tion joined in singing, "There is Plenty Good Room." led by Dr. J. T. Phillips. The address of welcome was de- Hivered by Rr. V. C. Roman. He is in part: Gentlemen it is a pleasant sight to look at such an audience. He said that the first evidence of civilization in man was his willingness to eat together without quarrelling. I do not know of the truthfulness of that, but I do know that one of the great elements of civilization is their desire to return to a land mark. Of the small bank of Christian workers who started out on the great mission thirty years ago one remains to be here tonight in the person of the honored dean of Meharry, Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard. (great apleause). In his usual humor of wit and wisdom he welcomed the Meharryites to the Reunion and to their old haunts of the good old town. Dr. Hubbard said in the way of introduction that he was glad to see so many Meharry graduates present, and he thought it would be well to read a short sketch of the history of Meharry. The sketch in full is as follows: History of Meharry Medical College. To the five Meharry Brothers Hugh, Alexander, Samuel, David and Jesse who so generously aided in establishing and supporting this institution it bears their name. The colored people of the South, and especially the Alumni of Meharry owe a debt of gratitude which can never be repaid. They have all passed from their labor to their reward, but their works do follow them. During the winter of 1875-76 while I was attending lectures at the medical department of Nashville University and the medical department of Vanderbilt University, Rev. John C. Braden them president of Central Tennessee College invited me to undertake the task of organizing a medical department for that college. This was the first attempt made to establish a medical school for the education of Colored physicians in the Southern States, only a few years before Howard University opened its doors to all persons who were properly prepared for the study of medicine without regards to sex or color. To Rev. Samuel Meharry of Lafayette, Indiana belongs the credit of giving the first $500 toward the support of this work. This money was expended in purchasing the necessary chemical apparatus, charts, models etc., for the beginning of the work The work was begun on the first week of October, 1876. The faculty consisted of Dr. J. Sneed and myself. One room in the northeast corner of Tennessee Hall which was destroyed by fire in December 1903, was allotted to us for our work, and a small room in th basement of the building was prepared for practical demonstrations in Anatomy. The requirements for admission were a fslr knowledge of the English branches. Nine students were enrolled during the first session, and J. M. Jamison who is still living and practicing in Topeka, Kan., and who had previously studied medicine was the first and only graduate$^1$ of 1877. There were 18 students enrolled the following year, and the graduating exercises were held at Thompson Chapel on the 22nd of February 1877 and the address to the graduating class was delivered by Bishop Gilbert Haven, and Jno. S. Eass now practicing medicine at Iola Kansas; Jno. C. Halfacre and Lorenzo D. Key received their diplomas, the two latter after successfully practicing their profession for several years passed away. Buildings. Meharry Medical College was erected in 1879-80, and was dedicated by Bishop Wiley and Haven, October 13th, 1910. The Dental and Pharmacental was dedicated November 20th, 1899 by Ex. President Hayes and Bishop Atticus G. Haywood, the annex was erected in 1902 and dedicated by Bishop Vincent. Meharry (auditorium was erected in 1804 and was dedicated January 1905.

The writer being personally acquainted with Mr. Dickson and knowing the persistency with which he has followed inch by inch, step by step every clue, and every little fact, that will lead to the discovery of all of the hidden records of Anthony williams is not amazed at the result. He began his investigation in May, 1912 and has written innumerable letters to historical societies and organizations has visited either in person or by proxy many cities, in fact, he has ransacked, or caused to be done so by friends, the entire country from Maine to California in search of certain or any information that had a bearing on the subject of Anthony Williams and his part in the Battle of Erie MR. C. A. DICKSON. MR. C. A. DICKSON. After many months of weary labor, many rebuffs and sore disappointments, just as he was about to give up in despair, he struck a clue which was given him by one Mr. J. S. Hicks, of Erie, Pa., which led to his securing the account which has Nashville Globe, and is the only been reproduced by permission in the known paper in existence containing the true account of his uncle's valor and service in the now memorable Battle of Lake Erie. Mr. Dickson is the only surviving relative, at his death the family becomes extinct, future generations and in fact all mankind should long revere the name of C. A. Dickson, of Buffalo, N. Y. The citizens of Buffalo, through the Perry Centennial Committee, are preparing to do him great honor in the anniversary to be held September 27th. It is the intention of Mr. Dickson to place in every Negro school, college and university in the United States a copy of the Nashville Globe containing the account of this hero of Lake Erie. Among the letters and personal correspondence received by Mr. Dickson s one from Mr. A. D. Colgrove, who is now editor and proprietor of te journal at Corry, Pa., who himself did not have an exact copy of his paper, but in whose paper the glowing description appeared. Another interesting letter, very lengthy and giving much data, came from Annette P. Ward, librarian of the Western Reserve Historical Society. Among the paragraphs of interest in her letter is the following: "In a publication on the inauguration of the Perry Statue in Cleveland in 1860 on page 90, is a list of killed and wounded and among the names of those on the 'Lawrence' are those of Abner Williams, a private aged 22 wounded; George Williams and Jesse williams, marine, age not given." It can be seen, therefore, that the records show very clearly that Anthony Williams enlisted was not killed. The most interesting part, however, of her letter to Mr. Dickson is the following: "I have stopped to consult another volume and have there found the name of Anthony Williams.

MAYOR HOWSE'S STATEMENT Proves That Administration Has Not Been Extravagant Bonded-Indebtedness Has Decreased Throws off The Other Fellows Acts—Money on Hand To Retire Bond. Mayor Hilary E. Howse gives to the public a statement as to the finances, receipts and disbursements of the city during his administration, in reply to charges made by Judge Meeks since he began his campaign on the stump. To the People of Nashville: In his speech made at the Lyric Theatre last Wednesday night, as published in the newspapers of the city, Judge Meeks, who is a candidate against me for the office of Mayor of Nashville, undertakes to criticise the administration of the city finances during the time that I have been Mayor. The effort was made, either purposely or ignorantly, to juggle with figures and words, in an attempt to show that there had been a large increase of the bonded indebtedness of Nashville during my administration. That my administration had been extravagant, and not along the lines of prer economy. These charges against my administration are untrue and unfounded in point of law and in point of fact. As a matter of fact, the bonded indebtedness of Nashville when I went into office, including the High School and trunk sewer bonds which the people had voted before my first administration began, was $6,164,000. Nashville's total bonded indebtedness today is $6,013,204. During my administration, and since October, 1909, $450,000 of the city's bonded debt has been paid off and retired as follows: $60,000 6 per cent. waterworks matured and paid November, 1909. $50,000 6 per cent. waterworks ma $50,000 6 per cent, waterworks matured and paid May, 1910. $50,000 6 per cent, waterworks matured and paid May, 1911. $100,000 5 per cent. sewer bonds matured and paid December, 1911. $50,000 6 per cent waterworks matured and paid May, 1912. $50,000 6 per cent waterworks matured and paid May, 1912. $100,000 4 1-2 per cent. Centenial bonds mature May, 1916, paid July, 1910. Total bonds retired since October, 1909, $450,000. Of the foregoing $100,000 of 4 1-2 per cent. Centenial bonds paid and retired July, 1910, would not have matured until May, 1916, and by paying them si xyears before they were due, the city saved about $27,000 of interest. No more of the city's bonds mature or fall due until May, 1914, and there is a balance in the sinking fund, as of December 31, 1912, of $212,033, much more than sufficient, even now, to pay the bonds maturing in May, 1914. It is proper to say that during my administration the people of Nashville have only voted one bond issue, of $150,000, for opening and widening streets, bridges and viaducts, and these bonds have not bee nsoid and are not now outstanding. The only other bonds chargeable against my administration are $200,000 emergency. Permanent improvements. During my administration as Mayor, and without any increase of the city's tax rate, and not including improvements made as the result of the proceeds of the sale of municipal bonds, many fixed and permanent improvements have been made out of the city's general revenue. This group of assets and fixed improvements is the property of the city today, and I am proud of and stand behind this record. A partial list of these permanent improvements is as follows: Capitol Boulevard ..... $203 000 Tuberculosis Hospital site..... 18 500 Children's Addition and other improvements to City Hospital ..... 50 000 Hadley Park ..... 20 000 Completing New High School 49 000 Equipment new High School 81 000 Appropriation to Park Commission for purchasing and improving play grounds and parks during the year 1912 20 000 Appropriation for purchase Appropriation for paying Court. 13 500 In addition to the above, during the years 1910 to 1913, inclusive, there has been constructed, under my administration, 42 1-2 miles of 6, 8, 10, 12 and 18-inch sewers in Nashville.

John Wanamaker Receives .Cheers —Dr. Washington Grows in Popularity-Men of Business From Every Section—Representing Large Business Interests—Brilliant Affair. Philadelphia, Pa., August 23.—Surrounded by the atmosphere that generated the spirit of freedom, fraternity and enlightenment, exemplified in its highest sense by William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, Thaddeus Stevens and John Wanamaker, and within the shadow of Independence Hall, where Liberty Bell proclaimed the birth of the American Republic, the fourteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League was held this week. It was exceptionally fitting that the best managed, most largely attended and most profitable gathering of the commercial forces of the Negro race should be held on the fiftieth anniversary of our people's emancipation on the spot where the antislavery movement had its inception, and where the Declaration of Independence was framed and finds its most effective interpretation. At the opening session Wednesday morning at Musical Fund Hall, a large audience assembled at an early hour. Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, president of the local branch of the National Negro Business League, called the meeting to order, and delivered a felicitous address of welcome, to which Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, president of the National Hair Vim Chemical Company, of Washington took the chair amid a storm of applause and the greatest meeting of the League's life was on. The address of welcome at the Academy of Music was delivered by the Hon. Mr. Porter, Director of Public Safety of Philadelphia, representing Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg, who was unavoidably absent. Without doubt the most thrilling and dramatic episode of the week's series was the visit to the great store of the Hon John Wanamaker on Thursday afternoon, and the touching exercises that took place in the Egyptian Room. The next session of the League will be held in August, 1914, at Muskgoe, Oklahoma, with a side trip to the wonderful Negro town of Boley, in the same State. Officers of the League. A number of changes were made in the personnel of the officers. Dr. Booker T. Washington was re-elected president, and has held that position continuously since the formation of the League at Boston in 1910. The remaining officers are: First vice president, Charles Banks, Mississippi; second vice president, J. E. Bush, Arkansas; third vice president, John M. Wright, Kansas; fourth vice president, E. C. Tidrington, Indiana; fifth vice president, Charles H. Brooks, Pennsylvania; corresponding secretary, Emmett J. Scott, Alabama; treasurer, Charles H. Anderson, Florida; registrar, F. H. Gilbert, New York; assistant registrar, R. C. Houston, Texas; transportation agent, A. C. Perdue, Arkansas; compiler, S. Laiing Williams, Illinois; official stenographer, Dr. W. H. Davis, District of Columbia. Members of the executive committee: J. C. Napier, Tennessee; chairman, J. B. Bell, Texas; E. E. Jones, Louisiana; S. G. Elbert, Deleware; J. T. Elliott, Oklahoma; H. T. Pratt, Maryland; T. H. Hayes, Tennessee; Scipio A. Jones, Arkansas; W. T. Andrews, South Carolina; J. C. Jackson, Kentucky; Algernon B. Jackson, Pennsylvania; S. E. Courtney, Massachusetts; George C. Hall, Illinois, and W. T. Gordon, Missouri. MR. ROBERTSON MAYFIELD SHOOTS WIFE THEN TURNS WEAPON ON HIMSELF. Special to the Gloch. Dyersburg, Tenn., Aug. 19th—Our city was shocked last Wednesday evening over the shooting affray that occurred at the residence of Mr. Robertson Mayfield. After refusing to retrain to her husband from whom she has been separated he shot her five times; twice in her left arm and three times in the breast and turned the weapon on himself, discharging last shot in left side above his heart. Both parties are doing nicely. RICHLAND CREEK ASSOCIATION Special to the Globe. Athens, Ala., August 18.—The forty-sixth annual session of the Richland Creek Missionary Baptist Association was held with the St. Luke Baptist Church, August 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. Dr. John S. Glimore of Columbia is moderator. The attendance was large and the meeting as a whole was helpful. Dr. L. H. Glimore, secretary was always on hand to do anything to make the meeting a success. FIFTEENTH SESSION OF NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION CLOSES Opened Tuesday Morning Nearly Three Hundred Delegates Attended—Expert Surgeons Perform Operations—Smoker at Greenwood Park—Banquet Meharry. The fifteenth annual session of the National Medical Association was called to order Tuesday morning in the Mehairy Auditorium at 10 o'clock by Dr. C. V. Roman, chairman of the Local Committee, who, after the usual preliminaries, registration of members and the reading of the minutes of the closing session of the fourteenth annual meeting, introduced Dr. J. A. Kenney, President of the Association, to deliver his annual address. The address of President Kenney was an able document and gave a general review of the work of the Negro physicians in this country. It showed that the president had given a deal of study to the subject. The key-note of the address was the stress put on the preparation the doctor should have. President Kenney is strongly opposed to anyone taking up the study of medicine who has not had thorough literary training; he is a strong advocate of the learned doctor. The address was well received by the members of the Association. At the close of the address, and the completion of unfinished business the appointment of committees, report of the Executive Board and other matters, the session adjourned for dinner. Previous to the meeting of the Association, the first clinic was held in the Hubbard Hospital. Dr. Stewart announced Monday night that this early start would be made, as there was so much work to be done. The prominent surgeons at this meeting are Dr. C. A. Terrell, of Memphis, who operates the Negro Baptist Hospital, of which he is surgeon-in-chief. Dr. Terrell ranks among the leading surgeons of the country. Drs. Stewart, McMillan and Hale, of Nashville; Dr. Bert, of Clarksville; Dr. Brown, of Birmingham; Dr. Penn, of Atlanta; Dr. Wilson, who was at one time proprietor and surgeon-in-chief at Wilson's Infirmary of this city, but who is now surgeon-in-chief of Collins Hospital in Memphis; Dr. Perry, of Kansas City, Mo, these and many other prominent physicians constituted the staff of operative surgeons. Dr. Dan Williams, of Chicago, who is recognized among the foremost surgeons, is performing seem of the most difficult operations. D. Burt, of Clarksville, was called to Columbia Tuesday night in consultation with Dr. Scott on the case of Mr. Moten, the undertaker at that place. He returned in time, however, to assist Dr. Dan Williams in the operation Wednesday morning. A large number of cases were treated at this meeting, among them being some of the most difficult operative cases. Several of the doctors who are attending this meeting have well-equipped infirmaries and hospitals, and the practical benefit they derive therefrom is clearly evidenced by the successful operations they have performed. Tuesday night at Spruce Street Baptist Church the public welcome was held. Mayor H. E. Howse was a visitor and made a short address. He assured the delegates that every citizen of this city would do everything in their power to make their stay here both pleasant and profitable. His Honor asked to be excused to make another engagement. The welcome addresses by the other speakers were all timely. The responses by Drs. E. T. Belsaw, of Mobile, Ala., and Dr. W. E. F. Penn, of Atlanta, were well delivered and well in thought. Dr. Penn, however, took advantage of the occasion to say some practical things to the people as a whole; he put special stress upon high attainments and said that if the Negroes of this country would give to the Negro doctors their just due that in a short while the Negro physicians in this country will be able to compete in every way with the physicians of other races. He urged the members of teh session to make special efforts to attain the great things in order that the young men who will enter the profession in years to come may have an inspiration to strive to even greater attainments. Dr. Penn urged the people to be ambitious, strive to reach the highest claim in civilization, for, sair he, a race that becomes satisfied ceases to make progress, but a race that is always looking for some new achievements to attain would always find new fields of operation. As an illustration he cited the new Old Fellow Building that had recently been erected in Atlanta at a cost of over a hundred thousand dollars, and called attention to a proposed fifty thousand dollar auditorium that would be erected in the near future in the same city. Dr. Penn spoke with much force and earnestness, and though the hour was late when he began speaking, the people never weared of his sound common sense. TENNESSEE'S LEAL- ING NEGRO JOURNAL No. 35. TURNED INTO COOPER CLUB. ABOVE WAS FATE OF THIRD WARD CIVIC CLUB AT LAST MEETING. President Grant Uses Whip—Few in Attendance—Visitors From Other Wards—New Set of Principles Announced by President Tells Men They Must Vote As He Dictates Last Friday night at the meeting of the Third Ward Civic Club about fifteen men of the ward were present. There were equally many from other wards. President J. W. Grant presided. He read a paper in which he said he wished to express his views on some matters. He had not gone very far in the reading until it was plain to all just what was in his mind. Instead of being purely a non-partisan speech, President Grant read a paper declaring for Cooper for Mayor and made it understood that he expected the Club to back him in it. He then introduced Wm. Crawford who has been campaigning the city for Cooper for several months. Mr. Crawford made one of his fiery talk in which he damned everybody who did not agree with his way of thinking. As he concluded his remarks others made short talks President Grant read what he said was a report of the Executive Committee; he then stated that the committee had placed the platform of the Club before Mr. Cooper and that Mr. Cooper had accepted them that was nothing for the Club to do but to endorse Mr. Cooper. The reading of the report, however, failed to show where the committee met and how many were president and it was learned after the meeting that only three of the seven were present. It has not yet been learned whether or not any members were present save the president, as no names were read with the reports. President Grant went right on with his program, however, and had Mr. Cooper endorsed it a yea and nay vote. It could not be distinguished who was voting whether they were all Third Yard men or visitors. Upon a question from some one in the audience whether the Executive Committee had waited upon all the candidates or not; that individual was given to understand that the club had nothing to do with the actions of the Executive Committee. Every one was surprised to hear such a remark from the chairman, feeling as they did that the Club was greater than the committee. They did not know that they had given the Executive Committee power to trade the culd around at will. This manifested general dissatisfaction. Several expressed themselves as disapproving of the methods being pursued and it was evident that the few who were present would most likely refuse to agree to such high handed tactics. Some withdrew from the Club that night because Pulaski, Tenn., Aug. 27.—Prof. A. Thos. Hill, secretary of the Endowment Board Knights of Pythas, died here this evening at 6 o'clock; aside from being Secretary of the Pythian Endowment Board, Prof. Hill was also principal of the High School. He came to Pulaski several years ago from Nashville, where he was born, reared and educated. He has PROF. A. THOMAS HILL. held the position in the school here for several years and was highly respected and honored by all the people. He was a proficient, painstaking teacher, as is best proven by the splendid record made by the students of his school. Prof. Hill was prominent throughout the State as a leader in secret societies. The funeral will be held Friday at 11 a.m. 2 UNHONORED AND UNSUNG. ANTHONY WILLIAMS HERO OF BAT TLE OF LAKE ERIE FALLS AN UNMARKED GRAVE. Chance some times rescues from oblivion the names of some of the world's grandest heroes. "Unhonored and unsung," have gone down into nameless graves many men, whose valor on gorey battlefields, whose influence for good, whose muratyridom for truth and right should place their names, if known, far up in the temple of fame. The shoulder straps on which blazes the general's star always attracts attention to a military parade, and we ask, "Who is that fine looking officer?" while the blue-coated, palsied, with armless sleeve, limps by unnoticed. We admiringly gaze upon a magnificent painting of some great battle, so true to life that we can almost hear the dying groans and see the quivering lips as they, for the last time, breathe the name of wife or mother. We ask and are told the name of the wounded general falling from his horse, and the name of the brave colonel who has fallen wounded outside of the fortifications; but none can tell us, even if we think to ask the names of the brave men who, facing death, are carrying their wounded general from the field, or who have leaped over the parapet facing bayonet and shell, and at the risk of their own lives, rescue their bleeding colonel from death or capture. How many of the millions of men and women who have gazed in silent awe at that great painting on the walls of the nation's capitol, showing that daring passage of Commodore Perry and eight others in an open boat, from the flagship Lawrence to the Niagara, during the terrible battle of Lake Eire, September 10, 1813, remember of noticing anyone except Commodore Perry and his noble son? Yet, there were seven other heroes in that boat, and mere chance has brought to light the name and history of one of them. On looking at this painting, or at its photographic reproduction, one will see a colored oarsman on the left side of the boat with uplifted hand. The name of this Afro-Amrele can is Anthony Williams, and, as the sequel will show, no braver man fought under that immortal hero who said on the afternoon of September 10, 1813: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." Anthony Williams was born in Salem, Mass, and went to Erie, Pa. in 1813, with Capt. Elliott, who commanded the Niagara in the battle of Lake Erie until the Lawrence was disabled, after which Commodore Perry made it his flagship. Anthony Williams as brave as a lion was possessed of more than ordinary intelligence, which Commodore Perry was quick to perceive and at once gave him a position at one of the guns, and his duty was to "ram home" the load. He soon familiarized himself with every detail, and before the memorable battle he could fill, acceptably, any position at the guns. To give a just account of the part that Anthony William took in this engagement will be to give a history of this memorable battle. It will be remembered that the British fleet was commaded by Commodore Robert Heriot-Barclay, a skillful and experienced naval officer, who had served with Nelson on the Nile and at Trafalgar, and consisted of six vessels, including the new and strongly-built Detroit, manned with 502 well drilled officers and men and carrying 63 guns, 35 of which were long guns, while the American squadron consisted of nine small vessels carrying but 54 guns of shorter range than the British cannon; 470 officers and men; of these 116 were on the sick list, and three of the vessels were very small, carrying but one each. But very few of Commodore Perry's men and had any naval experience or training whatever, and many had never seen a ship or gunboat until a few days before the battle. It was a motley crowd of hunters, menmen and militia, whose redeeming characteristics were bravery and eagerness to fight. The superiority of the enemy in numbers and in physical force and discipline was evident to Commodore Perry, but the eagerness of his men to learn their duties, their anxiety to meet the enemy, and their prompt and hearty response of "Aye, aye, sir," when Commodore Perry, holding up his flag, said: "My brave lads, this flag contains the last words of Captain Lawrence 'Don't give up the ship; shall I hoist it?' It gave Commodore Perry confidence in the result of the coming conflict. He believed that such bravery and patriotism would yield to nothing except death, and the result showed that his confidence in his men was not misplaced. The British losses were forty-one killed and ninety-four wounded. The Americans lost twenty-seven killed and ninety-six wounded. Of the twenty-seven killed and ninety-six wounded in the American fleet, twenty-two of the killed and sixty-one of the wounded were on board the flagship Lawrence, making eighty-three killed and wounded out of one hundred and one reported fit for duty on board the Lawrence on the morning of the battle. There were two killed and twenty-three wounded on board the Niagara, twenty-two of whom were killed or wounded after Colin McDougall Perry took command of her. We have referred to these historic facts in the bloody battle of Lake Titicaca in order that the reader may Facts in the Life of Anthony Williams. Anthony Williams was born in Salem, Mass., about 1792 or 93, the exact date of his birth is not recorded. He left Salem and went to Erie, Pa., in company with Capt. Elliott, who was appointed commander and who served as such on the Niagara in the Battle of Lake Erie. He enlisted and served from 1812 to 1815 in the Navy and died in Meadville, Pa., in 1833. The only facts of his family mention a son by the name of John Williams who was born in Erie, Pa., July 4, 1824 and who said to have lived there years, afterwards, then moved to Corry, Pa., where he engaged in the restaurant business. He kept and was proud of the documents presented to his father from the United States Government, and he kept them and exhibited them with much pride. Here practically all trace is lost of the family until it is taken up and re-established in C. A. Dickson, after whose death the Anthony Williams family will be extinct, as Mr. Dickson is said to be fifty-odd years old and has never been married. the better understand the part that our hero, Anthony Williams, took in that terrible carnival of death. As has been stated, he was a gunner on board the flag ship Lawrence. The first and second fires from the British ships killed or wounded seven men at his gun. The gun was manned as before and sent her bolts of death into the British flagship, dismounting one of her guns, and killing most of its crew, but the next instant nine men from Williams' battery were swept off by the British fire. Our hero coolly and tenderly removed the dead and wounded from about the gun and began to reload, as it was being remanned for the third time. Six times this battery sent its missiles of death and destruction into the British ships and was about to give them another round when a well-directed shot from the enemy's guns killed or wounded eight men, leaving only Williams and one other man at the gun. The deck was drenched and slippery with blood and was literally covered with the dead and wounded. Amid the storm of shot and shell and flying splinters and the vessel disabled and unmanagable, slowly drifting away. Anthony Williams carefully stepping over the bodies of the dead and wounded, coolly proceeded to "swall out" and reload his gun, crying out to Commodore Perry, "Send me enough men, if you have them, to pull out the gun and we will give them another shot." The gun was manned for the fourth time, but most of the men had been wounded and were weak from the loss of blood, and while pulling at the ropes a heavy broadside from Commodore Barclay's flag ship, dismounted their cannon killing every man at the gun except Anthony Williams. The Lawrence, having become unmanageable, was allowed to drift out of the range of the British guns, while Commodore Perry, having selected seven of his bravest survivors, was being rowed with his son to the Niagara. This daring movement was safely accomplished, although shot and shell from the combined Britten fleet was falling thick and fast around. Truly the same Providence that shielded the Hebrew children in the fiery furnace protected these brave men. After Commodore Perry took command of the Niagara, Anthony Williams was placed in charge of one of her guns. The battle raged fiercely for nearly thirty minutes, between the Niagara and British ships before Commodore Barclay hauled down his colors, during which time twenty-two of her men were killed or wounded and thus ended one of the bloodiest naval battles of the world's history. On board the Lawrence every man but seven reported able for duty on the morning of the battle and was either killed or wounded. This was not only a great but a most important victory. Through an inexcusable blunder, if not treachery of Gen. Hall, we had lost Michigan and the northwest. This victory not only checked the British in the northwest, but restored this region to us and was virtually the turning point of the war of 1812, and the fact that this decisive victory was the first one our fleet ever gained over a soundron and was achieved over a superior force of well disciplined men, commanded by an officer who had served under Nelson, and here upon his person marks of that admiral's greatest victory, will ever cast the brightest luster upon every American hero who participated in the battle of Lake Erie. It has been said, "that Nelson triumphed over Frenchmen and Spaniards and Perry was called on to meet the conqueror of these, led, moreover, by a veteran formed in the school of Nelson, that the battle of Trafalgar was won by the whole British fleet over a part of that of the allies, and the battle of Lake Erie was won over the whole British soundron by only a part of ours". Commodore Perry, from the first, engaged the enemy at close quarters, in order to get the benefit of his cazzonades, following the advice of Lord Nelson: "If you lay your enemy close alongside, you cannot be out of your place." "It will be asked, perhaps, how the writer learned the above stated facts in regard to Anthony William; and why they were not made known to the world long ago. Let me tell you: More than thirty years ago, Dr. Benjamin Crunt, an old pioneer of Brie County, Pa., and an intimate friend of Dr. Usher Parsons, acting surgeon of the squad. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1913. THE BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE. ron, and on board the Lawrence during the whole engagement, told me that in a conversation with Dr. Parsons about the time he delivered his memorable address at Cleveland, the doctor, in describing the battle of Lake Erie, told him of the prodigious acts of valor performed by a colored man by the name of Williams. The writer was also told many years ago, substantially the same facts by a friend who had learned them from Dr. Taliafero and Lieut. Yarnall of Commodore Perry's flag ship. These facts had entirely slipped from the writer's memory until last summer while on a visit to Corry, Pa. he, by chance, met John Williams, the only surviving child of Anthony Williams, who showed him some old letters and documents, dim and yellow with age, that not only brought to mind, but corroborate beyond the possibility of a doubt the information received many years before in regard to these most wonderful deeds of valor of Anthony Williams in the great battle of Lake Erie. Anthony Williams died in Meadville, Pa., about the year 1834. It may seem like a digression, but we should not close this article without giving a little space to his worthy son. John Williams is a respected and prosperous restauranter in the hustling city of Corry, Pa. He was born in Erie, Pa, July 4, 1824. There is white and Indian, as well as African blood, in his veine; his mother was descended from the "Six Nations"; whilst his maternal grandfather was a Dutchman. In 1876 a small white spot appeared on his left wrist, other white spots appeared in rapid succession on his arms, body and face, until now he is almost entirely white. Nature see mosquito be THE BATTLE OF D irrelly white. Nature seems to be trying an experiment on him, in turning him white, as a reward for being a most worthy son of a noble, heroic father. John Williams is proud of his father's heroism, and why should he not be? The world's history of wars records no greater bravery, no more heroic contempt of death, no greater devotion to the flag, no more unsullied patriotism, and no more miraculous escape and preservation from wounds and death, than the above facts in regard to Anthony Williams—From Corry Journal, A. D. Colgrove, Proprietor and Editor. NEGRO HERCISM SAVES NATION ONE HUNDRETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE As the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of Lake Erie approaches, more facts, more data and more information have come to light to show that a Negro by the name of Anthony Williams was one of the eight heroes of the battle mentioned with Commodore Perry, and that this same Negro exercised bravery, heroism and gallantry indescribable. The naval records are very clear on Anthony Williams, and yet notwithstanding one hundred years have passed since this gorey conflict on Lake Erie stirred patriotism throughout the Union, it has been forty years since any publication or any articles have appeared in magazine or newspaper that would clearly show the part that this black man took in this naval demonstration, recorded as one of the world's greatest battles on the sea. A movement was set on foot months and months ago by the only surviving relative of this family, who now resides in the western part of the state of New York, for the sole purpose, first, of presenting to the Perry Contenial, that will observe the one hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie in Buffalo, September 2-7, 1913, forgotten facts and long buried evidences of the gallentry of Anthony Williams, who was a Negro; second, to hand down to posterity and unborn generations historical data that will convince beyond any question of a doubt that Negroes have not only taken part in all battles of note that have been fought on American soil but that they have distinguished themselves on high seas wherever the Stars and Stripes have floated. It is reported that the famous painting showing Commodore Perry passing between the British lines in a row boat manned by a party of eight, of which Commodore Perry and his son were a part, showing conspicuously a black face, and which picture hung in the National Capitol for years, giving inspiration to the black boy, has been removed and it is said to have been sent to Columbus, Ohio, and to have been replaced by a picture which did not show a Negro at all. It has often been said that figures do not lie. If this is true, it can be well said that facts and records in the United States Army and Navy should not lie, be these facts and figures in prose, in poetry or in paintings. After a lapse of seventy years, which of itself was thirty years after the battle, agitation has practically ceased that will give this black hero credit for anything or any part taken in the conflict. It would seem that a quiet and persistent process of elimination was inaugurated years ago, as it has been forty years since that have been put forward in the Mr. A. D. Colgrove, the proprietor and editor of the Correy, Pa. Journal, permitted an extensive article to appear under the caption of "Colored Heroes" that gave the last description of Africa's descendant, a born American, and an enlisted seaman, who was given some attention and every possible consideration by Commodore Perry himself, who, during peaceful sailings upon a placid lake, recognized by all of the seamen and who during the dent of the terrible conflict was confident that the words of Captain Lawrence, "Don't give up the ship," that were inscribed upon the flag which floated upon his battleship, was sufficient to encourage his men on to greater victory, which resulted in a complete capture of the British squadron. Among the brightest stars in the history that shine forth with such lustre, though their faces have been handed down or painted as black, will appear that of Anthony Williams, born in Salem, Mass., who enlisted with Commodore Perry on January 20, 1813. As a school boy remembers the name of Hammelbain the great Carthagenian, who is said to have scaled the Alps and fallen upon the Romans and stripped their fingers of bushels of rings, as he remembers the great General Toussaint L'Ouverture, who struck at the English OF LAKE ERIE. and they fell, who confronted the Spaniards and they disappeared and put his feet upon the proudest of the French soldiers, became conqueror and dictator of one of the greatest isles in the Antilles, Haiti, so should he be taught to honor and revere the name of Anthony Williams. Bringing about this will not be accomplished any more than were the facts brought about except by the dint and courage and the persistency search that has been going on uneasily for a number of years. more historic and more interesting than the average mind would conceive is the very fact itself that one hundred years ago, while in some sections of the United States chattel slavery existed, a black man was performing deeds of valor under the Stars and Stripes. The war of 1812 was practically won by the decisive victory of Commodore Perry on Lake Erie. Corry's Journal admits that but for the fortitude and the courage of Anthony Williams, who was the sole survivor of his ship, who was courageous enough to stick to his post of duty, and who afterwards joined the Commodore, the story would have been different, and history would have recorded other facts. The paintings of artists, the writings of historians and the data compiled by statisticians are supposed generally not to know color or creed, nationality or racial differences, but to record the achievements of American citizens. Were it not, therefore, for Mr. C. A. Dickson, who is the only surviving relative of Anthony Williams, historians in years to come would be pondering over hidden facts that are already now buried with this century and have only been brought from the archives of hidden mystery by Mr. Dickson, whose stories of research and whose efforts and dogged determination have put before the Perry Centennial Historical Society Anthony Williams as he was, when he enlisted. Anthony Williams through the wars of 1813 and Anthony Williams a retired seaman, whose services had not only been recognized by receiving a prize and cash consideration for which he received himself, but paintings from artists whose heart and mind have been willing to give recognition to bravery and patriotism, wherever they were found. The last public speech made that gave Anthony Williams, the Negro, any part or any credit in the Battle of Lake Erie was made in 1843 by Dr. Parsons in a memorable address at Cleveland, Ohio, in which he described the Battle of Lake Erie. Among those with heard this address was Dr. Benjamin Grant who was the oldest pioneer in Erie County, Penn, and who is said to have been an intimate friend of Dr. Usher Parsons, who was active serbent of the soundron on board the Lawrence during the whole engagement. It can therefore be seen that from generation to generation has come down, as it were, "the shining way" the true story of Anthony Williams, the black nero who fought side by side with Commodore Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie. Utter ances and writings that were true statements from Dr. Tallaferro and Lleut. Yarnell, of Commodore Perry to flag shin, are in existence now in their relatives and friends in North am. Pennsylvania, and Western New York that give evidences of the his respect and the most profound appraisal during their lifetime of Anthony Williams, the seaman are not hero. --- Naval Department on Anthony Williams.

This is under the head of page 215 of Samuel Hambleton's Account of the distribution of the prize money of Lake Erie." The writer of this letter assisted Mr. Dickson greatly, as will be seen from the quotation below: "I am taking the liberty to send a copy of your letter to Mr. James Cooke Mills of Saginaw, Mich. Mr. Mills has just published a most interesting book "Oliver Hazard Perry and the Battle of Lake Erie." He has spent two years or more in careful research on the subject and it seems as though he, if anyone, would have seen some reference to the man An- thony Williams. His book contains an illustration which clearly shows a colored man in the small boat and you would enjoy the book, I am sure." In Mr. Dickson's effort to get information from the state department at Erie, Pa., he was not successful. There are other interesting facts pertaining to the life of Mr. Dickson, especially that side in which he shows confidence in the race. He was prominently connected with the Union Transportation Company of this city and is a subscriber and a stockholder in more Negro banks in the United States than any other one individual. He has sowever, never put foot on the soil in the South, neither has he ever crossed the Mason and Dixon line, but has steadfastly shown by the investments made and the acquaintances formed the loyalty and devotion for the people he is identi fied with. Through the enterprising efforts of a distant relative of Anthony Williams, the Buffalo, N. Y. Centennial Commission, having in charge for a big 100th anniversary celebration to be held in Buffalo, has decided to recognize in this celebration the merits of the claims of his only surviving relative. Anthony Williams, who was one of the eight heroes responsible for Commodore Perry's great victory in the Battle of Lake Erie. Announcement of the Perry Centennial celebration was made some time ago and in connection with it one man is said to have forgotten whole of the United States to get business and scoured almost the sufficient information that would bring vividly back to the minds of the American people the true and real identity of at least one of the eight men who was the sole representative of a race now numbering over ten millions of people. It is said that this one man would not have put forth such Herculean efforts to bring about his identity had it not been that there appears to be an underlying current at work to discredit the recognition given and to discount all of the honor accorded this particular individual and to his posterity, which is regarded as a distance recognition to the Negro in the United States. The towns along the Lake have in their respective turns given a week of festivities in honor of the man who with an untrained crew and crudely built ships wrote his name so brightly upon the pages of history by the achievements accomplished in daring efforts. Buffalo, situated on Lake Erie, so very close to Niagara Falls, enjoys perhaps no other city of its size in the United States can boast of. i.e. its close proximity to one of the wonders of the world. It is estimated that there are about two thousand Negroes in this city and that they, because of the establishment of the claim of the survivor of Anthony Williams, will be the beneficiaries in point of attention brought about in the main by what Mr. C. A. Dickson has been responsible for. Thousands of people will throng to the city to take part in the celebration forward to eclipse even "old home week," because it will be a national affair. They will come from the Dominion of Canada, Britain and the Canadian will declare holidays, for this occasion and the real heroes on the Battle of Lake Erie will once more, without respect to race or color, be mentioned, honored and revered as of yore. A. N. JOHNSON TO REMAIN IN NASHVILLE. I suppose it is one of the parts of competition to take advantage on every occasion and in every way, to succeed. Such has not been my practice during the twenty years of my business experience. The rumor that I am to give up any of my business interests in Nashville is absolutely false and without a particle of truth. My success in Nashville has been phenomenal and exceeded my expectation. The people have given me hearty support, and have not only trusted me with their funerals but have signally honored me on many occasions. When I first opened business, the opposition said I would not succeed; but I have succeeded. They said I would not remain here, but having acquired the most centrally located and best business property, right down in the center of the city, they quit such false rumors and raised the cry that I was not born in Nashville and appealed to every specie of prejudice known to burden the rapid progress I was making. Instead of retarding my progress, every knock has been a boost and I have revolutionized the undertaking business in Nashville and given the public the highest class service of any competitor in the business and done the business at the most reasonable price. There should be in the breast of every parent a desire to help their offspring. This is an age when every father wishes to keep his son. Every white man of business ability, either takes his son as partner, or sets him up in business when the boy develops a capacity for business. The thinking men of the Negro race are doing the same thing. Nashville has taken the lead in that direction. It has been a common comment how that Dr. R. H. Boyd is placing his mantle upon the shoulders of his son; how Hon. J. C. Napier upon his nephew, Dr. E. W. D. Isaac upon his son, and we might name others who are doing the same. Some twenty years ago, I established a modest undertaking establishment and a small newspaper in Mobile, Ala., both of which grew from small to magnificent dimensions. Seven years ago with two young boys, I gave up business in Mobile and brought my boys to Nashville and went into the undertaking business, and placed my boys in Meharry, These boys are well known to the Nashville public. The younger son, A. N. Johnson, Jr., is engaged in the practice of medicine, having passed the Board of Medical Examiners of several States, and spent some time under an older physician and in hospital service before seeking general practice. My older son, Lorenzo E. Johnson, decided that he wanted to engage in the undertaking business, following the same profession as his father. He recently married, as is well known, and as a father should do, I began to prepare to put him in business that he might prove himself a man and have a man's chance. Upon the solicitation of the owners of the undertaking and printing business, which I established in Mobile, some years ago, I came to Mobile to negotiate for its purchase and launch my son on November 1st. After reaching Mobile, where I have lived the most of my life, and where the people know and love me best, I was induced to take charge of the entire business at once, which I did. Buying the stock of the People's Undertaking Co., the Acme Drug Store, the Mobile Weekly Press and Press Publishing Co. I am necessarily detained in Mobile to readjust the machinery of these concerns and put them in running order, which must necessarily take some time. This is possibly much detail, but all my life I have concealed nothing in business affairs and trusted the public who give me support. The Johnson-Allen Undertaking Company, of Mobile, is composed of A. N. Johnson, president; C. W. Allen, vice president; L. E. Johnson, secretary; and is owned by A. N. Johnson, L. E. Johnson, A. N. Johnson, Jr., C. W. Allen and J. B. Allen; incorporated under the laws of the State of Alabama, and is absolutely and entirely separate and distinct from A. N. JOHNSON UNDERTAKING COMPANY of Nashville, Teen In this age of progress a man with business qualifications will invest in any place where it promises him success, and with the paternal love that is in every decent man's breast, I have acquired the Mobile business, to which my son is soon to attach himself. It was in Mobile where I learned the business, where I met success, where I made a small fortune and where thousands of people love me and esteem me and are glad to give me and my son business. This method of creating false rumors is in keeping with other forms of opposition by people who want to succeed by other methods than high-class service. Instead of giving up business in Nashville, I have just begun the fight, and with the help of my sons I shall be more able to render service of the superior kind than in the past. My son, Lorenzo E. Johnson, is in charge of my business, and fully capable to render any service in Undertaking. There are four graduated and licensed embalmers in my Nashville business and they are experts in their profession. My absence here in Mobile is no longer than the vacation of the successful business man, and the thinking people will appreciate a man who spends the time of a vacation in setting up a business for his son, to the man who goes off spreeing and blowing, showing the queer and making merry with wine, women and song. For the next few weeks I shall be engaged at Mobile as indicated above, I shall then be relieved by my son, who will then enter upon his business career here where his father has made success. I will then return to Nashville and, as before, give my constant and serious attention to my undertaking business... I ask the public, to pay no attention to any rumors about my intentions, but if they need superior funeral service, go to my place of business on Cedar street or ring phone Maln 763 and get the service.

Howse and Cooper. Mr. Noah W. Cooper, who is before the people of this city for the office of Mayor, says he was born in South Carolina, the home of Ben Tillman, who bears the distinction of being one of the most rabid Negro hatters who has ever set in the United States Senate. We do not say that Mr. Cooper is of the same make-up as Senator Tillman. Mr. Cooper's record in this city would entirely erase every stamp of Tillmanism, but he says he was born in South Carolina. Negroes of Nashville are familiar with the declaration that he loves the memory of his "old black mammy." This is one of Mr. Cooper's strong points. It is a matter of record, however, that a certain society in this state on one occasion was forced to change its charter. Mr. Cooper was consulted about this affair and he made the modest charge of $300 for his services. We suppose it was worth every penny of that amount, but it does seem that a man with genuine sympathy might have done the job for much less. It appeared to be a pretty big price for such services, as the members are more or less poor, but they are honest and industrious, believing what a white man says, especially if he has the ability to base his conditions on the Bible, and this we all know Mr. Cooper can do. In fact, he has promised to run this city government from a Biblical standpoint which is to be admired. Whether it is pictured or not, Mr. Cooper is making a great many promises. In days that have passed and gone this same thing was done, but the people have not forgotten about these promises and how they were broken. How hands became "tied." The present Mayor, Hon. H. E. Howse, has been the Chief Executive of this city four years. We challenge any man to cite where he has made a promise to the Negro citizens that he has not endeavored to carry out. We do not say that all of them have been carried out, but we do say that Mayor Howse has striven to carry them out and in most cases he has done so. Every school teacher in this city knows that the vacation salary was begun for them at the same time it was for the white teachers. The same is true as regards free textbooks; we remember the recommendation for a colored nurse; we know of the purchasing of Hadley Park and we know how hard Mayor Howse worked to have the State Normal located here, and for the provision of a Carnegie Library; and we know further that Mayor Howse favors a High School for Negroes located in a respectable section of the city, and we have just cause to believe that if he is re-elected Mayor that he will still favor all of these things and we have just cause to believe that he will do more than any man running for the office to bring these things to pass. Reducing the thing to its final analysis, the question is this: What is to the best interest of the Negro citizens of Nashville, to have a mayor whose record is known or to have one who has no record in a like capacity? Who Cares? Last Saturday afternoon there was a spectacle on the public square of this city that was painful. Officers alighted from a street car with between forty and fifty laboring men and boys chained together as prisoners. The boys were between 12 and 14 years of age. These men had been brought in from the railroad camps, a few miles from the city. They were charged with gaming. They were, of course, fined something, a part of which went into the pockets of the Deputy the pleasure of those who are educated and refined; the minister, the teacher, the doctor, the wealthy business class; in fact all who have plenty and who hold high stations in life; these men work that they may have the greatest pleasure that human genius can provide. Yet when these men are mistreated as they are in the courts, punished for no crime in the true sense of the term, nobody lifts a voice of protestation. It is a disgrace to our civilization to have these conditions exist. It is a blot upon Christianity to suffer these men to stay in camp year in and year out and never hear the gospel. In the great judgment day when those whose duty it is to point out a way to a higher and better life shall come up to be judged of their stewardship, and when it shall be said unto them, "I was in prison and you visited me not," the thought will come to many that I could have thought of my fellowman, when he was in the railroad camps, and was from there carried into prison and unjustly treated; I could have visited him there, and woe be unto me that I did it not. It requires courage to fight the battles of humanity, and yet it must be done if our civilization is to be conserved. We must not allow it to remain a fact that "nobody cares." org Lest For phone Lest~You Forget while a member of the State Senate, p the passage of the law, which made sible for the Park Commissioners to sell land for park purposes. while a member of the State Senate, procured the passage of the law, which made it possible for the Park Commissioners to buy and sell land for park purposes.

The little boys were too young to be given even a work house sentence and could only be sent to the State Reformatory. The officers may have been justified under the law in making the arrest, but if they were we question the wisdom of such a law. It is a common thing for men who work in railroad camps to play cards and shoot craps; no one knows this better than a deputy sheriff, and they lay plans to swoop down upon a large portion of these men and place them under arrest. As a rule the boss man of the camp will put up the money for their release or will go their bond; the men are fined and the boss man pays the fine and takes it out of their wages. In many cases when these arrests are made two or three may be playing craps and forty or fifty standing around, some having no thought of gambling, and no knowledge that gambling is going on. Many times some are looking on, as it is the most natural thing for men to do when any kind of a game is being played in their presence; under such circumstances it does not seem fair that these men should be arrested, chained and marched through the street as cattle; and even little boys of ten years arrested with them and marched through the streets and locked in prison and may become hardened criminals, simply because two or three men decide to waste their money by gambling it away. These men are hard laborers, they may be indiscreet, but they are not all criminals. Being miles away from home and friends and in a lonely railroad camp, where life is most miserable under the best conditions, the human heart seeks some kind of relief from the daily toil. The railroad managers make no provision for their comfort, church people and Christian workers are not encouraged to visit their camps, and so what must the poor fellows do? Weary from hard toll they easily fall victim to an invitation to play craps. The Deputy Sheriff watches for these opportunities, and when the crowd gathers and the game is in progress they swoop down upon them and they arrest every man in sight; they are carried to prison, fined, and upon their release they are allowed to return to their work to pay back the fine. It is a pitiful condition and yet, who cares? Somebody ought to care; these men are human beings; they toll day and night that railroads may be built, not for their pleasure, but for HILARY E.

It contains 57 rooms, and can accommodate from 75 to 100 patients. The cost of the building has been about $42,000 between $7,000 and $4,000 was contributed by the faculty students and alumni. During the past year 400 patients were received mostly surgical cases, and the death rate has been very small. The Hubbard Hospital Club raised money for furnishing the hospital. Dr. Jas. B. Dixon of the class of 1895 left a legacy which has been used for furnishing the surgical operating room, Dr. O. F. Fields of the class of 1893 by will gave his instruments and library, Dr. R. F. Boyd of the class of 1880 left an endowment fund of $2,000 for the college and $5,000 for the hospital. His mother donated the college his books and instruments. We hope that in years to come many of the alumni will generously remember their alma motor. There have been 1214 medical graduates, 137 of whom have passed away. Exclusive of the class of 1913 about 95 per cent are now practicing medicine and most of the remainder are either teachers or ministers. Fye has gone as medical missionaries to Africa, three of whom are still living there, one of them is United States Consult to Sierra Leone, West Africa. Faculty The following is the length of service at Meharry of the different members of the faculty who have served five years or more: Dr. H. T. Noel, 33 years; Dr. R. F. Boyd, 30 years; Dr. F. A. Stewart, 24 years; Prof. W. Patterson, Doctors W. R. Baker and P. R. Burrus 19 years each; Dr. J. A. Lester 10 years; Doctors J. H. Holman, J. T. Wilson and G. H. Bandy 14 years; Doctors D. R. Nell, C. O. Hadley and Daniel H. Williams 13 years; Doctors Baskett and R. O. Tucker, 11 years; Doctors A. M. Townsend and Reed 10 years; Doctors C. V. Roman, J. A. McMillan and S. S. Caruther 8 years and Doctors T. H. Elliot and J. E. Wells 6 years. Dental Faculty Dr. J. B. Singleton 21 years, Dr R. H. Voorhees 10 years, Dr P. R. Neil 8 years. Dr. Wm. Sevier 21 years. The college of pharmacy was established in 1889 and has had 198 graduates. The Dental College was opened in 1886 and there have been 235 graduates and they have met with good success in this work. Nurse Training School. The work of Nurse Training was begun at Mercy Hospital under the supervision of Dr. R. F. Foyd and a class of five graduates in 1904. A class of four graduated from the two years course in 1905. All of the other have had a three years course. Total number of graduates including the class of 1913, 40. Financial. The professional income of the Meharry graduates range from $500 to $5,000, the average probably being from $900 to $1,000; this compares favorably with that of the white physicians of the United States. One of the most encouraging features of the work of the Alumni is their homes, from personal observation nearly all the states where they reside I can speak on terms of commendation, and their wives deserve credit for the manner in which they are kept. Most of them have good libraries and well furnished offices. Religious and Moral Standing. About 90 per cent of our graduates have been members of some Christian church and usually have a good moral record in the communities where they are living, and it is said that they compare favorably in morals with the Clerical profession. Only a small number have become addicted to the use of strong drinks and parrotic. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1913. The Future. What of the future: who can tell? The requirements for the study of medicine have been advanced and beginning with the session of 1914-15 one year of Scientific College work including Chemistry, Botany, Physics and a modern language will be demanded. In order to meet this changed condition it is proposed to establish a pre-medical year for instruction in these branches for those who have not had an opportunity to pursue them. This will probably materially diminish the enrollment in the freshment class in the following years of decrease in attendance. The cost of medical education is constantly increasing, and probably the most serious problem that will confront the work of Meharry for the future is where can money be obtained to meet these expenses. We hope that our Alumni will come to our aid. Some Colleges have what is known as a living endowment, that is the Alumni agree to pay a certain amount annually and by will, leave to the school the amount promised on endowment. There are now about 1400 living graduates, at least 1,000 of these are able to pay on an average, ten dollars annually, this would give $10,000.00 for the current expenses of the college and enable it to hold its present rank in class A. The college is a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges. The buildings and grounds are valued at $100,000.00. The work of the graduates of any educational institution is to be finally judged by the success or failure of its graduates; this is always considered under three heads, professional, financial and moral and religious. In the earlier years of the work many believed that the Negro would never succeed as a physician, but time and experience have proved that this was a mistake and in no profession has he proven his fitness more than in medicine. Until a comparatively recent time their work was almost entirely confined to general practice. The colored people were not inclined to give them a hearty support, but now in most localities they are well patronized as could be reasonable expected. During the past few years surgery is receiving more and more attention, and to Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago must be given the credit of awakening the spirit in this branch. His phenomenal success in his annual surgical clinics for the past years may be the reason for the success in this direction. Hospitals and infirmaries have been established in a large number of towns and cities in the South, and are all being well patronized and their number will undoubtedly increased. Two of our graduates are devoting their entire time to the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, and several others are giving more or less attention to these specialties. One of the most encouraging facts to make mention of is the kind relation that exist between the white and colored members of the medical and dental profession. These are not isolated cases, but obtain with few exceptions throughout the South and has been most creditable to the members of the white profession. They have had a fair and impartial examining board, and at the last State Medical Examination of Tennessee there were 403 applicants of whom only 306 passed or 76 per cent. Mehary had 56 graduates and 53 passed. 10 undergraduates of whom 7 passed or 60 out of 66 was successful making an average of nearly 91 per cent. Twenty students were enrolled for the 3rd session, and there were 8 graduates, 5 of whom J. H. Ballard, Wm. P. T. Jones, J. F. McKinley, H. T. Noel and B. E. Scruggs are still living. During this year Dr. M. G. Tucker commenced to lecture on Theory and Practice of Medicine this service was continued until just before the death, 1898. For the fourth session Dr. Jas. B. Stephens joined the faculty as Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women, and he continued this work until 1890 when his place was filled by Dr. J. D. Wallace who occupied the chair for three years. Rev. J. H. Whitney, D. L. was professor of Medical Jurisprudence and Dr. J. F. McKinley was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy the enrollment and graduates was the same as that of the preceding year. For the fifth session the at the same as that of the preceding Jno. Lawrence was chosen Professor of Medical Jurisprudence and H. T. Noel elected Assistant Demonstrator of Anatomy. For the next six years the increase was very gradual, and not until the session of 1868-87 did the enrollment reach 50, in 1891-92 the 100 line was passed with great rejoicing, and 121 students were enrolled for that session, the 200 line was reached and passed in 1901 and 1909 enrolled for the session of 1904-05, since that time the number has remained practically unchanged in attendance. This is due to the increase requirements for admission. After Dr. Hubbard had finished reading an alumni representing each class from 1897 to 1913 gave a four minutes talk telling to the best of their knowledge of the success of his class. Dr. Henry T. Noel, of Nashville represented class of 1897. He stated that there were only four living besides himself who were members of this class located in St. Louis, Chicago, Huntsville and So. America. They had all made a great success and were still progressing. Bishop C. H. Phillips of Nashville was to have represented the class of 1882, but on account of illness could not be present and Dr. C.
