NASHVILLE GLOBE. NASHVILLE OFFERS OPPORTUNITY VOL. VIII. MISS STUBBS CRUSHED TO DEATH. CAUGHT IN ELEVATOR IN THE STALHMAN BUILDING. Screams Penetrate the Twelve Story Building-Crowd Soon Gathered— Almost Lifeless Form Extri- cated—Tenderly Borne to Ambulance and to Hospital —Mother Notified. Miss Maggie Stubbs, of 1002 Eleventh avenue, North, was caught between the top of the door of one of the elevators in the Stahman Building Monday morning about 10 o'clock and received injuries from which she died about eight o'clock Monday night. The poor fortunate woman sustained fractured ribs and internal injuries that caused her untold agony until death relieved her of her suffering A large piece of iron bar on the top of the elevator was snapped into by the impact. Had it not been for the coolness of the elevator operator the body would have been mangle beyond recognition. The groans and sighs of Miss Stubbs soon drew to her side a large number of people in the building, and she was extricated as quickly as possible. Her almost lifeless, body was borne as tenderly as could be to the ambulance and rushed to the City Hospital. She was thoroughly examined and the doctor announced that there was little hope for her recovery. The mother and sister were notified and they were soon at her side. Miss Alberta Stubbs did all she could to bear up under the exciting ordeal and to sustain her deepest mother who was grief-stricken at the great calamity that had befallen her daughter. The elevator in which Miss Stubbs was killed was operated by Walter Jenkins. The deceased was distributing towels and when alighting it seems that the elevator, after having come to a standstill made a sudden jerk without being started by the operator. This caused the accident. Mr Jenkins is one of the oldest employees of the building, and has a reputation of being a very careful man. Mr. J. C. Stubbs, of Chicago, IL, and Mrs. L. M. Lachie, of Indianapolis, Ind., brother and sister of Miss Margaret Stubbs, arrived Wednesday night. The funeral services over the remains of the deceased were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, where she was a member, taking an active part in both church and Sunday-school work. At the time of her death she was a member of the Galeda class of the Sunday-school and was one of the leading singers of the choir. Rev. W. S. Ellington, pastor, officiated at the funeral. Miss Stubbs leaves a mother, three sisters and two brothers to mourn her untimely death. The following served as pall-bearers: Prof J. D. Crenshaw, Prof. S. P. Harris, Dr. J. B. Singleton, J. Blaine Boyd, Enoch Brown and Isaac Moore. BAPTISST TO TAKE ANOHER PROGRESSIVE BETR There will be no spectators and visitors on the floor of the National Baptist Convention proper during the sessions of that body in this city from September 17th to 22nd. The gallery has been reserved for them. This information came from President E. C. Morris and Secretary Hudson after they had made a careful examination of the Ryman Auditorium where the sessions will be held. They state that it will be possible to seat the delegation by states on the lower floor and this will give the gallery space to visitors. President Morris stated that the new constitutional amendment which provides that each messenger pay a fee of $2 will keep an unusually large throng off the main floor and will assist in the expediting of business, as only official delegates who have qualified and whose qualifications can be vouchered for by the official board will be recognized by the chair. In addition to this, it is stated that only chairmen and secretaries of the various boards will have space upon the platform, and this will do away with the time-honored custom of having one-half the delegates of the Convention seated on the platform. According to the interpretation of this order, it is understood that only the Women's Auxiliary, the Foreign Mission, Publishing, Benefit, Home Mission, Educational and B. Y. P. U. Boards, with their chairmen, secretaries and elective officers, will have space and desks on the platform. If this order is carried out, it will be a long step towards organizing the Convention along progressive lines. Secretary Hudson states that as soon as arrangement of the State delegations could be made, notice would be given through the National Baptist Union-Review, together with a diagram of the lower floor and the gallery of the auditorium. This will be done next week and will give ample time before the delegations begin to arrive ANOTHER GREAT EVENT ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF GREENWOOD PARK FAIR ASSOCIATION.

NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 1913. Howse for Mayor. Mayor Howe has been the Mayor of all Nashville citizens for four years; the small as well as of the great. He is straight forward and impartial. Take up the record of Mayor Hilary E. Howe as Mayor of Nashville and count what he has done for the Negroes of this city and then take up the record of all Mayors of Nashville since the Civil War and count what they have done for the Negroes of Nashville and we challenge any one to show where any two Mayors have done as much as Hon. H. E. Howe has done for the Negro citizens of this city. The wages of corporation hands have been increased and black men receive the same pay for the same grade of work that the white men receive. The poor unfortunates who get in the workhouse have found him a humane chief executive. Years ago every workhouse have foundTAO every work house prisoner that was carried outside the work house had either a long pick or a ball and chain P. B. on his leg. Mayor Howse removed all of these things and no prisoner in this city is shackled unless it is impossible to control him otherwise. The Negro school teachers are paid their salary during the vacation just the same as the white school teachers. Mayor Howse made the fight for this. The Negro school children are given free books the same as white GREENWOOD PARK IS READY FOR THE NATIONAL BAPSTIST CONVENTION. Seven buildings with plenty of floor space and wall space have been put at the disposal of the National Baptist Convention for their celebration of the Fifty Years of Freedom, which will be held in Nashville, September 17-22. The management and proprietor of Greenwood Park, where the exhibits of this Jubilee will be shown stated this week, that the following buildings would be at the disposal of the Exposition Committee: The "Old Merry-Go-Run Building" is already at the disposal of the Foreign Mission Board, the lower part of the Grand Stand, which has eight open and two closed rooms, not one of these rooms being less than 30x40, the Dunbar Theatre; the Zoo Building which has already been designated for the Tuskegee Exhibits; the Spring House, which has been promised the Home Mission Board, and the National Baptist Publishing House. Aside from these the Human Roulette Building; the Greenwood Club House and the space of several other buildings will be used by the committee. The owner of the park asserts that the grandstand will seat about 4,000 people with plenty of proclivities for an overflow or open air meeting. In addition to these buildings there are forty acres belonging to the park which will more than accommodate the tremendous crowds that will be the guests of Nashville during the Convention week of September 17-22. PROF. JACKSON GOING TO STATE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. Prof. A. M. Jackson, who has been connected with Roger Williams University for five years, has resigned his position there to accept the position of Professor of History in the State University of Kansas, at Topeka. Prof. Jackson has a host of friends in this city who will regret to lose his association, but who will at the same time wish him success in his new position. school children. Mayor Howse made the fight that there be no partiality shown in this respect. It was iron. H. E. Howse made the recommendation to the City Council that $20,000 of the $100,000 paid by the Gas Company for the new franchise, be set aside to purchase Hadley Park for the exclusive use of Negroes. He was largely instrumental in the State Normal being located here. The Tuberculosis Hospital, which is the best in the South, has equal accommodation for black and white. Mayor Howse has insisted that the department for Negroes be kept open for them until they can be educated up to the advantages such an institution offers. White patients would have logn ago taken every unoccupied ward, but Mayor Howse has urged the colored doctors to cooperate with him in filling up the colored department with colored patients. Mayor Howse urges that a Negro doctor be appointed to inspect the Negro school children; he recommended that a Negro Nurse be appointed and that has been done. He is urging the erection of a New High School building for the colored people. We heartily approve of the stand that is being taken by Negroes of Nashville to keep women and children out of Salons. Mayor Howse when re-elected will remedy this evil to the satisfaction of every citizen in this city who wants to be fair. No candidate for Mayor has a record that guarantees as much to the Negroes of this city. The humblest Negro in Nashville can approach him. Every Negro Church of Nashville that has appealed to him for aid has received something. Every benevolent institution that has appealed to him for aid has received something. He has not stopped to question their motive but if he believed their intentions to good he never has refused to lend them what aid he could. It will be remembered that when the Fall building fell and so many Negroes were crushed to death that it was Hon. Hilary E. Howse who led the force of men to rescue them and to pull their dead bodies out of the ruins. Next Thursday the boys will rally around the Chief and give him the biggest majority he has ever received. DELEGATION RETURNS. The delegation has just returned from Brownsville, Tenn., where the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple held a grand and successful session. The State Grand Vice Princess, Sister Marin Bloch, of Nashville, with Sister L. K. Myers, the Past State Grand Princess; Sister Lena Bartley and Sister Letitian Green, of Knoxville, Tenn.; Sister Queenie DeGrafcer, of Nashville; Sister Angle Wright, Sister Fannie T. Davis, of Harriman, visited Sister Annie Young, Past State Grand Secretary, at Nashville. A donation of $7.85 from the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple was presented her by Sister Maria Bloch. ONE OF THE OLD MEHARRY BOYS. Our hearts were made glad once more last week for we not only had the privilege of coming back to Meharry and seeing Dr. and Mrs. Hubbard, but the very pleasant, Oh, glorious privilege of eating some of Mrs. Holman's good biscuits of which she was so fond of making for us in years gone by, Dr. J. W. Cann from Bermuda island never missed a day being with his friend class mate (Dr. Holman). All Meharryites felt at home with the (Holman's) MRS. M. W. DARDEN AND CHIL- DEN. RETURN.

HENDERSON NOT GUILTY CIRCUIT COURT AT DRESDEN SET THE ACCUSED MAN FREE. Crutcherfield's Action Did Not Agree With His Charge—Went to Other Places After Locating Henderson—Was Absent When Arrest Was Made—Negros Swear Against Him. Special to the Globe. Dresden, Tenn. Sept. 2.—(Special.) James Henderson, indicted and tried in the Circuit Court here for the alleged killing of Policeman Walter Morgan, of Martin, was found not guilty by the jury here yesterday afternoon. The trial was a very strenuous one and filled with stirring incidents throughout. It was attended by at least a thousand men each day. Friends of Morgan were very anxious for a conviction and bent every effort to bring it about. The proof developed was not as strong as expected, and then it began to be whispered about that Henderson would be mobed in the courthouse if he was freed. In addition to this threats were made nightly to storm the jail. Morgan was killed at Martin early the morning of July 29. Jesse Crutchfield, a white man, was with him at the time. In the meantime, however, although Crutchfield had located Henderson he continued to go to other places to see suspects that had been arrested, and on the day of the final arrest of Henderson he accompanied Mayor Perkins to Union City to see a suspect under arrest there. Two Negroes, Mingo Long and Lon Jones, testified as to facts, Long stating that Henderson told him that he had killed Morgan, and Jones said that he had heard him say that he was going to kill him. But on cross examination through the many character witnesses produced against them it was ascertained that they could not be believed upon oath. The jury held that the testimony of Crutchfield as to the identity of the accused was not borne out by his actions, and that the Negro witnesses being unworthy of belief, that it was their duty to acquit the defendant, and they did so after considering the case about one hour. Much praise has been given Judge J. E. Jones for his fair and impartial rulings and exceedingly elaborate charge in the case. Mayor R. L. Suddoth, Judge R. E. Malden and Col. L. E. Hollady, attorneys for Henderson, were firm in the belief that their client was innocent, and were unceasing in their efforts in his behalf. WOMEN'S CONVENTION WILL MEET AT SPRUCE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. Spruce Street Baptist Church on Eighth avenue, North has been selected as the place of meeting for the Women's Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention to meet in this city September 17-22nd. This was finally decided upon this week when Miss N. H. Burroughs. Secretary of the Women's Auxiliary to the Convention, the Rev. T. L. Ballon, pastor of the Spruce Street Baptist Church, and Mrs. M. Flowers, a prominent worker in the Women's Convention, looked over the church, its surroundings and conveniences. The selection of the Spruce Street Baptist Church as a place for the commemorating of the fifty years of freedom and the holding of the sessions of the women also will add to the importance of the meeting, from the fact that this is looked upon as the mother church of Negro Baptists of Tennessee, and especially Nashville. This celebration in connection with the Convention will have surroundings that will not only be in spring but historic. Miss Burroughs tasted that she expects to have an unusually large amount of paraphernalia. Arrangements for some of the leading speakers throughout the country have been made by the women. Among those who already have been set down is the Rev. John E. White, D. D., Atlanta, Ga. one of the leading members of the Southern Baptist Convention. Then there will be Mr. Weatherford, a prominent white worker of the Y. M. C. A. located in this city; Mrs. Maggie E. Walker, President of the St. Lukes Savings Bank of Richmond, Va.; Mrs. C. S.

The outlook at the present time is most flattering, and it is belooved that the attendance of last year will almost be doubled. Already more than a hundred new applications have come in and if the same ratio is kept up by the time for opening every room will be crowded. The old students are taking a long risk if they neglect to give notice of their intention to return this fall, for so long as a room is left they will be given to new appl. Not only are they coming from every part of the state but they are also coming from other states. One day this week a lady inquired of a Globe representative about the school. She said she lived in Indianapolis, Indiana, but she wanted to put her son in a good school and she was favorably impressed with State Normal. The addition of Prof. N. W. Ryder in the music department means that that feature of the work will take a great boom, as Prof. Ryder is very popular in Nashville and is well known throughout the country. He is a graduate of Fisk University and was at one time a member of the faculty. The State Normal is getting ready for the Exposition which will be held at Knoxville, beginning October 1st and continuing two months. A splendid exhibit will be arranged that will show what the institution has accomplished in the short time it has been in existence and will also give an idea of its opportunities.

The general management and control of the Colored Normal, as in the case of all Tennessee's State Normal schools, are vested in the State Board of Education and it is due to their wisdom and liberal spirit that this school is so happily located and its material equipment is so thoroughly modern and well appointed for the purposes it is to serve.

Dramatic Club, whose faithful services the association can never forget, pulled off for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. last week a high-class melodrama at the Mehgan Auditorium. Each participant played well his part. Too much cannot be said in praise of this club. The play rendered last Thursday night did not bring the financial profit that the management had hoped for, but the spirit of the participants was extraordinary. The company met for two weeks or more practically at their own expense and some of them at a dead loss, but it was all done willingly. The association feels especially indebted to Dr. Hubbard for his generous services. The game last Saturday at Bedmont was a bit lacking in interest. Mr. Johnson, the Y. M. C.

The splendid congregation at St. Peters Churcit Sunday morning was severely shocked at the close of the service by the an- nouncement of the pastor that he had accepted a call to Colorado and would preach his farewell sermon the secon: Sunday in September.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1913. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The Need Of A Farmers' Institute. Every day it becomes more evident that there is need of a Negro Farmers' Institute in Tennessee; we mean the farmers of the State and not the professional men residing in the cities. There are Negroes in Tennessee who are conducting farms that would do credit to the people of any part of the country, and these farmers should get together and organize an institution through which they could co-operate with the State Agricultural Department in their effort to better the conditions of all the farmers in Tennessee. Capt. Peck, our Commissioner of Agriculture, is very anxious that the Negro farmers have a state organization first of all, and that from this state organization there be organized in every county a Farmers' County Institute. In this progressive age when every section of our country is reached by the agents of the great monopolies it is absolutely necessary that every man, whatever his occupation should understand fully the condition he will have to contend with when he goes to dispose of his products. In this day of sharp competition, in every line of pursuit, it is very necessary that all men know how to get the very best results in order to be able to compete with the world. This applies to the farmer as well as to the merchant. There are communities in Tennessee where Negro farmers are making splendid headway, but there is much room for improvement. There are thousands of young Negro men in Tennessee who would do well if they would turn their attention to the soil, but it is useless to tell these young men to turn their attention to farming unless they can be convinced that it would be profitable to do so. An Institute is ust such an organization through which light can be turned on the farm. Young men can be made to see the possibilities and pleasure there is in farming. There is not a class of citizens in the country as secure in their pursuit of happiness as is the farmer who knows how to farm. Land in Tennessee is cheap now, but it will not always be so. The markets of the South are crying for supplies. We are importing every year millions of dollars worth of stuff that can be produced right here in Tennessee, and with our climate the farmers in this state ought to be able to ship abroad millions of dollars worth of supplies. The large cities of the nation are constantly calling for supplies and the South is the looser in not producing its share of what is needed. If the Negroes of Tennessee will organize this Institute we mean the Negro farmers—and co-operate with the State authorities, great good can be accomplished. The Tennessee State Fair that is soon to be held in Nashville is a state institution, and while the Negroes of Tennessee have not participated in it they have learned from it much that has helped them especially is this true of the farming class. This institution will hold its annual exhibition on the 29th of September and running through the 4th of October. Much can be learned by attending this fair. It will be a splendid opportunity for the farmers to get together and organize an institute. We know Col. Peck, our Commissioner of Agriculture, would join heartily in to bring about such an organization. We know he would lend every aid possible and we believe he would make provision for meetings to be held in the State Capitol. The Farmers could meet while the State Fair is in session and get advantage of the cheap rates. We urge the farmers of Tennessee to take up this matter at once. Perfecting such an organization now means about twelve months information, and help can be secured which otherwise will be thrown away. The Globe will be glad to co-operate with the farmers in giving publicity to whatever steps may be taken. Greenwood Park Fair Association Greenwood Park Fair Association. September 25, 26, and 27 the Greenwood Park Fair Association will hold a great exhibition at Greenwood Park. This Association takes up where the Colored State Fair Association left off. Rev. Preston Taylor has striven hard to get a company organized to take hold of this project and not allow the Fair Association go for naught. but for some cause or rather he has not been able to get the men together, probably because of the strenuousness of this season. Be that as it may, Rev. Preston Taylor has not allowed the project to go unnoticed. He has planned quietly, in his unassuming way, to hold the exhibition and he deserves the encouragement and support of all the people. All evidence indicates that he will receive this, for the people are rallying to him nobly, and we feel safe in saying that the Greenwood Park Fair Association exhibition will be the equal of any held by the State Fair Association. Mr. Cooper Takes Exception. Nashville, Tenn. September 3, 1913. Editor the Globe In your issue of August 29th, 1913 you insinuate that I am a Negro hater, and in a certain case probably charged too much fee. Both of these insinuations are without any foundation in fact. I have been a friend of the Negro all my life and will be till death. I have befriended the Negro in a thousand ways and have spent my time and money to defend the Negro race when they were being abused by those who now claim to love them. I have never overcharged a fee and have advised and defended Negroes in many cases without hope of ever getting any fee. You have been very courteous and kind to me during this campaign and it is hard for me to believe that you intended to do me wrong. But your insinuations have gone forth to the world and cannot be recalled any more than the sped sparrow. Hence I ask you in your next istion of September 5th to make the proper correction, stating that I have always been a friend to the Negro and that I am now doing what the Negro knows and what the world knows is best for all men, women and children. Neither war nor politics ever justifies anything but the plain truth. That is what I am telling in this campaign, slandering no one, hating no one; but doing my level best to bless all our people and to fill our city with more heaven and less hell. Come up to the Mayor's office after I am inaugurated October 14th next and let me show you what a Mayor can do who is a real friend of our homes and not a friend of the horrible dives that are destroying the women and children of our city. Respectfully. NOAH W. COOPER It has never been our policy to do any one an injustice, nor to even misrepresent facts. Mr. Cooper is, we believe, a high class Christian gentleman, and we thought we so implied in the editorial referred to. He has rendered much good service for colored people in this city. The editorial was meant to show only the difference in men's private and political lives; that circumstances often make a great difference. Our high regard for Mr. Cooper is best proven by the liberality we have shown him during this campaign, having published many of his addresses when space was at a high premium. The cur dog continues to play havoc with sheep in Tennessee. It is strange that some people will waste enough energy over one cur pup that is noth worth two cents as it would take to raise a hundred sheep. As the 11th draws near it appears that the Howse Band Wagon will have to be increased ten-fold. Everybody is for Howse; lawyer, doctor, beggar-man and chief, and the children thrown in for good measure. And a little pickaninny caused the calamity at Cumberland Park Labor Da. Bosh! O, thou son of Ham! when will the day come that thou will cease thy sinning? Some of the regular guards of the professional politicians can't decide who they will support in the city election. No handout, no decision. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1913. HON. CHAS. C. GILBERT. A Friend of the Negro. The Negro citizens of Nashville have no more truer or loyal friend in the city than Charles C. Gilbert, candidate for commissioner in the coming municipal election. Several months before the convening of the legislature Mr. Gilbert addressed the members of the Negro Board of Trade, urging that body to get back of the movement to give Nashville a Commission Form of Government. It was upon Mr. Gilbert's guarantee that he would see that a nonpartisan provision would be included. that Commission Government was endorsed by the Negro Board of Trade. Mr. Gilbert made good his promise and when it was sought to put through a bill omitting that provision, it was Mr. Gilbert who came to the rescue of the Negroes of Nashville and had the plank inserted. In the election on September the MADAM C. J. WALKER COMING. Madam C. J. Walker, the noted hair culturist of Indianapolis, Ind., with her assistant will be here during the week of the National Baptist Convention, demonstrating and teaching the art of growing hair. She will teach the trade to persons MADAME C. J. WALKER. desiring to learn her method of growing hair for the small sum of $25.00 and will give free an outfit valued at $12.50 with her shampoo dryer included. Persons desiring to take advantage of this offer should see Madam Walker during her short stay in this city. Her address will be announced in this paper later on. first real opportunity will be accorded the Negroes of Nashville to have a voice in the election of municipal officers. Heretofore the Negro could vote in the general election only. He had ni voice in the primary in selecting the man or men who should govern this city. In the coming election, however his vote will count as much as any voter and tax-payer in Nashville and The Nashville Globe urges every Negro to pay his poll tax and go to the polls on the morning of September 11th, with his mind made up for whom he is to vote. Not only has Mr. Gilbert evidenced a friendship for the Negroes in this instance, but he was instrumental in putting through a bill giving the citizens the right to vote on a bond issue for a Negro high school and Mr. Gilbert has offered his services to campaign the city, urging that the bond issue be ratified by the voters of this city. He has proven his friendship for the Negroes if Nashville. Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Phillips, Jr., of St. Louis, Mo., spent last week visiting his father, Bishop Phillips, and at the same time they attended the National Medical Association. Dr. Phillips left the city early Saturday morning for his home, where he enjoys a lucrative practice. Mrs. Phillips will spend about two weeks with the Phillips family. RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF MRS. ABBIE WEIR SAUNDERS Resolutions From the Grand Court Tennessee Whereas, it has pleased the Lord in his wise ruling to move from us midst, one of our choicest flowers of Calanthe, Mrs. Abbie Weir Saunders, we, the Grand Court of Calanthe deeply mourn her loss, but still knowing that He deoth all things well, we bow our heads in submission to his will. We here by extend to the bereaved family our heart's deepest sympathy and as we are unable to console. We point you to God the great comforter for condolence. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be printed in the Memphis Sun, Nashville Globe, a copy be spread upon the minutes of the Grand Court of Calanthe and a copy be sent to the bereaved family. Committee: Mrs. Lucy Hightower, Chairman; Miss Bessie Patton, Mrs Ophelia Hale, Miss V. B. Soward, Secretary. MRS. ABBIE WEIR SAUNDERS AS A CALANTE It is indeed a painful, yet pleasant task to say a few words on the life of our late sister Abbie Weir Saunders. Painful because the flesh is weak causing my heart to bleed to think of the earthly loss of such a dear friend as she has been to me for the past six yeras. Pleasant in a way because I am always glad to give honor and praise where honor is due. I so not know the exact date when Abbie became a Calanthe, but I met her as a Calanthe at Dyersbhrg, 1906. Since that time she has been a live member, living up to the sacred obligations which she took when becoming a member, that is working in perfect fidelity, harmony and love which so many of us fail to do. We, the delegates from this section looked to Abbie as mother not on account of her age, but gentle modest and Christian spirit of hers led us to look to her as a counselor. No matter what came up, she would say, girls do what is right and you will come out in the end. Some times we would scold her for smiling upon her enemies. In 1906 she was appointed deputy of this district of Calanthe, here she worked faithfully trying to hold this section together, for it was her aim to make everything that she was connected with a success. In 1907, she was elected Grand Worthy, inspectrix, at Knoxville which gave her the second honor of this state, which she held until a little more than a year ago, when the hand of Providence robbed us of our chief, Dr. R. F. Boyd, G. W. C. of Tennessee by virtue of her office the duty of Grand Worthy Counselor was thrust upon her, making her the first woman Grand Worthy Counselor of the State of Tennessee. Feeling a bit unexperienced and thirst she said to me, "It is uite a task, but if God is my helper I will master the position." This was hard because the late G. W. C. had just been re-elected and being called suddenly much of his business and plans were incomplete and as the head of the Order had always been a man, many believed that a woman could not govern the affairs. But never shirking duty with her feminine hands, she clasped the helm of the ship of Calanthe, though the storm raged upon the tempestuous old ship into the harbor at Nashville. Here she is succeeded by Mrs. Cora E. Burke as Grand Worthy Counselor of the state making Abbie the only Past Grand Worthy Counselor of the state. She was also elected representative, to the Supreme Court which will convene in Baltimore, Md., in a few days. I had the pleasure of sending in her credentials last week. Now she will go to join the Heavenly session, which will never close, where Christ himself is Supreme Counselor. Griffin Court has lost a member. The Memphis delegation has lost an advisor, the state has lost a Calanthe. This is a shock from which I cannot easily recover. Though see with my eyes and hear with my cars that Abbie is gone, I cannot realize that it is true. Abbie we know that you are happy in the Ceavenly Court above. While our hearts are in deep mourning for the one we surely love. You are are receiving hearty greeting from the loved ones gone before, while the News of your departure still is passed from door to door. Sleep and rest there from your labor of the task you had below. We will strive some day to meet you where there is parting never more. LEBANON NOTES Dr. Jos. Turner witness the Mehary Reunion. Dr. J.

It as indeed said beyond the power of expression for us as members of the Fleur De Lis Art and Study Club to speak of our beloved friend and associate Mrs. R. P. Moore as being dead, but she is not dead. "Miss Nellie," still lives. It is true that her pure perfect and strong mind found earth too weak to hold her, but that she lives is as certain and as sure as the truth, "death has no dominion over life." Our friend and companion tired of her much worn physical frame, on account of intense suffering. With one peaceful yet powerful bound she burst the fetters of what appeared to be a strong tenement of clay and entered a tabernacle not made with hands, but eternal forever. Mortal eyes will never see her again rapidly going from place to place, leaving joy, sunshine and comfort in her nake; moral eels will never more hear her pleasant voice; but the spirit of Him who loved our friend will daily hold sweet converse with her. Mrs. Nellie Moore left the flesh a true friend to all mankind. No one can say of her she ever turned a deaf ear to the cry of the needy or looked with scorn upon the lowly and oppressed. She was an ideal woman. God desired her presence and took her out of that which was constantly becoming more and more painful and which was subject to all the afflictions to which earth is heir. The statement "Death loves a shining mark," should be "Earth cannot hold a perfect mind, she is not dead, the child of our affection." But gone into another school where she no longer needs our poor protection. For Christ Himself doth rule. Therefore, as an expression of our love and affection for our departed associate, we the members of the Fleur De Lis Club adopt the following memorial: Resolved; That in the decemple of our sister and friend, Mrs. Nellie Moore, our club has lost one of its most honored and devoted members. Resolved; That we tender to her bereaved husband and relatives our sincere and heartfelt sympathy. Resolved; That a copy of this memorial be sent to her family, and to the Nashville Globe.

W. Morrow, be- cause it would leave almost any in- telligent reader in doubt regarding facts about the new Dean of Fisk Unt- versity, Certainly it was not the pur- pose of the writer of the article to leave any one in doubt about the truth concerning Dr. Morrow, and since so many teaders have this view ft sms entirely proper that some one should endeavor to correct the error the writer may have uninten- tlonalty made in preparing the copy for sour paper. It {4 the general opinion that most of wet was published in the article about Dr. Morrow Is true, but it seems fair t state that the part bearing on his future policy regarding the presi- denc; of Fisk 1s mere presumption, Those most intimately acquainted with Dr. Morrow have no sufficient Feason to believs that “Dr. Morrow, if he should be elected president, would Fecowmend to the Board of Trustees that a Negro be elecied as Dean, in or- der that he mignt gain experience in a few years that would enable him to rin the institution successfully.” ‘Those who know Dr. Morrow best are strongly of the opinion that he will endeavor tc preserve all the hon- ored traditions of Fisk University and sce to it that a high standard of scholarship and conduct is maintained amor the student body of the instt- tutlor. ‘They heve the feeling and sin- cere belief that Dr, Morrow will con- sider merit, efficiency and honor of vastiy more consideration than color in ali phases of Fisk University life. He does not believe in inequalities and stands firmly on the doctrine of “The Fatherhood of God and Brother- hood of Mau,” and is therefore not expected ‘by tho’ graduates and real friends of Fisk to introduce the color question or be the means of giving it an cntranee ito the affairs of Fisk University. That would de contrary to the best sentiment of the majority of tle graduate: and friends of Fisk, ‘and x, direct opposition to the prin- ‘eipios upon which Fisk University has been founded. ‘The colored members of the faculty jot 4c have been chosen not so much because they were colored but. rather because they were the best fitted for ‘the positions they hold. If a colored Dean or President of Fisk are ever elected the choice» will be made be- ‘cause of their fitness and ability rather than their color, The graduates and ‘best friends of Fisk are not “hanging on the color line” as much as they are on the questions of ability, time and other conditions of paramount importance in tie matter of a colored president of Fisk, They are working in perfect harmony and co-operation with the Trustees of Fisk and these forces working together for the best wolfvre of the ‘nstitution, will settle the question ac ‘he proper time. When the graduates and real friends of Fisk reconmend a colored man for the po- sition. it will not be because of his color, but for the very good reason that ‘he 4s qualified in every respect to take hold of the affairs of Fisk and place the institution on a higher road of progress and keep it there. Last year at Fisk was one of un- usua! success in all the things essen- tial to the life a the institution. Fisk NASHVILLE GLOBB, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 56, 1918. Stands now in the hearts of the peo- ple us it has not for many years. It 4s cu the eve of “shat its graduates and ‘friends consider an era of prosperity and ‘this is very largely due to the |haraship there last year, Tt would of course be a great risk for an outsider to be placed at the head of affairs there now. In addition, there are other difficulties in the way ofmak- ing a selection of an outsider, Cer- tainly the sentinient of the graduates, |students and Nashville citizens has bean strongly in favor of Dr. Morrow jall along, but this condition hag not |existed because of any feeling that |he weuld plan the way for a colored |man to succeed him in any position ‘unless the man was fully qualified and | the Trustees of Fisk requested his ree ommendation wu this respect. I be- eve that if sue a condition obtained, | Dr. Morrow would not hesitate for a moment, but i do not believe he would say anything or do anything to com: jmit himself to any policy along the | ines suggested in the article appear Ing in your parer, unless his recom: | mendation was justifiable in every re spect. Dr. Morrow is a graduate both of Colur.bia University and Union The- |olog'eal Senlusty. ‘He haa been vers successful ay 9 pastor. He keeps abresit of the progress of modern education as well as with the prog- ress ot the times, He is much loved |and respected by the Nashville public and understaids and stands for the fundamental principles of Fisk Unt- |verstiy. His acquaintanceship in the ‘north well fite him for whatever un- dertaking Fisk's financial needs — de- mand. He is In every respect fully qualified to be president of Fisk and we would ai! be glad to see him chos mn for the, position, because of His Persea} fitness as much as for his sincere interest in the welfare of our peop. Again I want to remind you that no question has been raised regard- ing the motive of the writer of the article appearing in your issue of last “week, but in tne light of Dr. Morrow's ‘recent appointment as dean and the additional fact that the question of 'a president has not yet been settled, the article appeared untimely and I might also say of doubtful judgment in the matter of “the color question” raised about any future dean or pres!- jdent of Fisk University. This has all ‘deen written in the belief that Dr. Morrow has nct made any statement to any one to warrant any such con- ‘clusion as was expressed in your ar- ticle headed, “The New Dean of Fisk University.” T aust you will give space for the publication of this open letter to you in the issue of the Nashville Globe of this week, for I feel certain that it will in some measure set at rest some doubtful questions raised in the ‘minds of some who may have read the article appearing last week.

There was Priam who ruled over that an- cient Troy which we are told wag located in Western Asia on the shores of the Mediterranean. There was mighty Hector, the son of Pri- am whom the still mightfer Achilles slew. Then there was that other son of Priam, Parks, who eloped from Greece to Troy with Helen the most beautiful of women and as a result caused one of the most fam- ous wars in all history. It is not, however, of this Troy that Henry Vale | Stevens _ the subject of this sketch is a citizen, nor has he had a Homer to sing his praises. He is an humble black man, a harness-maker, who lives down in Troy, Alabama, which ts one of the least of the 33 Troys in the United States. Mention is made of Stevens not ‘because of any specially wonderful thing that he has accomplished, but to call at. ‘tention to the opportunities which a Negro with a trade has in the smaller cities and towns of the South. Stevens received a certifh cate in Harnessmaking from Tus- kegee Institute in 1900 and since that time has been working con- stantly at his trade, Several years ‘ago hé started in business for him- iself at Troy and has always had as |much or more work than he could do, In tonnection. with his harness ‘making he carriés on carriage-trim: jming, and shoe making, He owns |a ood home and other property land is a leader in that section. — He receives the patronage of the best people of the town and_. vicinity. [Concerning him A, C. Edmonson, [the Probate Judge of the city in a recent communication sald: | ‘1 have known H. V. Stevens for jthe past five years, and 1 can say [that he has conducted himself in a |igh:toned and gentlemanly manner 'since he came here, is well thought of by all. I consider him one of the best harness-makers that has ever been in this part of the state, He certainly is master of his professiot land has the confidence of all.” U |S. Carroll, President of the First |National Bank, in his testimonta jeoncerning Stevens said: | ‘t affords me pleasure to state that H. Y. Stevens of this city Is ar upright man, 1 have had eonsid Jerable dealings with him, He 4 |worthy of the confidence of the |business public; he is a harness ‘inaker by trade and his work 1s o |the very highest type, He has no Jonly served the public well fn ‘hi trade, but has made a reputation {for fale dealing, and as the ‘conf dence of the citizens of this city.” | ‘The three years spent by Stevens Jat Tuskegee Institute in learning 1 Jtrdae and in acquiring the “Tuske gee spirit” of push and energy an {the ‘Tuskegee {dea."” ‘do what yor can for the good of the community in which you are located.” have been of the greatest value in en- abling him to become the useful and highly respected citizen that he’ ts. BAPTISTS WILL SMOKE THE PIPE OF PEACE. | From all appearanecs it would seem that the “pipe of peace” will ‘be the chief weapon among the Bap: ‘tists at the coming session of their National Convention in this clty. All efforts to find a discordant note ‘to locate some contention which of sufficient import to cause the jusual Baptist’ row, have will prove futile. In other words, as far as can be learned, after a close interview with some of the leading men of the denomination everywhere, it can be stated upon good authority that the meeting here in September will be a “getting tozether” of the Baptists of the whole world, especially those that go to make up the National Baptist Convention. Thus it is handed ‘out that on the fiftieth anniversary cf the manefpation of the slaves, ‘the Negro Baptists will cease their warring and unite in. one solid phalanx for the betterment of thelr erligious work throughout the coun- try. io As far as can be learned from the officials of the convention there will be no old sores opened, no discordant notes sounded. In fact, there appears not a billow to mar the peaceful sea. While it is certain that much business brought over from the Houston session’ of the Convention will come up for consideration, it is understood that not even the president of the con- vention will press this to an extent that it will be distasteful to the dele- gates who go to make up the con- vention, Among the matters that are to come up is the revision of the constitution. But it is a forgone conclusion that the old constitution will not be changed, as many of the leaders are of the opinion taht this able document is sufficient for the government of the National Baptist Convention, It is also. predicted that there will be no change be- tween the co-relation and the work- ing of the Home Mission Board and the National Baptist Publishing Board, as it has been shown to the satisfatcion of all that the greatest mission work possible 1s being done by the co-working of these two boards. Many other denominations who have looked upon the National Baptist Convention aré just begin- ning to learn that the Convention while it really recommends being Baptist as it is, in reality is not legislative because of the principles of the Missionary Baptists. Many of the things that are going to come up in the meeting this yaer will be on the order of progressive measures to advance and increase the spread of the work throughout the country. FRIENDSHIP, By Mrs. E. J. Work Sango. Wihlie meditating over the differ ent things in life, the thought came to me what a blessing it is to have a true friend, The sweetest and most satisfactory connections in life are formed between persons of congenial minds, Friendship is the most sacred of ‘all m rai bonds, it relieves our carery raises our hopes, and abates our fears, I will compare friendship with a flower that booms in all seasons; it may be seen on the snow: capped ‘mountains of Northern . Rus: sia, ag well as in the valleys of sun- ny Italy, cheering us by its inde- serlbable charms. Friendship knocks at the lonely and disconsolate heart, it speaks words of encouragement and joy; It dispels every poisoned thought of envy and purifies the mind with con- tentment. We do not look for this flower in the cold calculating world: ling, no, the poor wretch is dead to ‘every feeling of its ennobling virtue . ee geen EAQLE cLon. The Eagle Club ©, of C. held its regular meeting at the home of Miss Glendora Brice, Tuesday, August 19. ‘The meeting was called 'to order by the president.

D's have left thetr pationts to the fever and other dis- eases and have gone off to leok after the candidates. It is a pitiful scene to behold these men who when every thing is qufet and there is no cam- paign going on make a great noise obout their profession, but as soon as some man announces for office, dive into politics up to their eyes. Every- ‘one of them can deliver every Negro vote in this city to every candidate that s running, if their story is be- lieved, when infact they cannot de- lived, wnything and are merely hang: ing arownd to see what they can pick up. Five or ten dollars or any grount just so they get their hands ‘in the ple. No one seems disturbed about this ‘army nowadays, however, because intelligent men do not need a guard to, direet them to the poles nor, in- ‘structors tell them how to vote, Oe gees CARD OF THANKS.

Nashville has lost one of its pearls by the death of Mrs. R. P. Moore. She was lovved and respected by every man, woman and child, for she had a’ kind word and look for every one, Her place cannot be filled in church, never ‘be filled as a wife, and the love she had for her family was more than ordinary. She was conscious of her death and died with full hope and faith in the Lord. The hour set for the last solemn service over the remains arrived. Slowly and sadly the flowerdecked casket was borne into the church, while the great gilded organ thundered out the melancholy strains of the fun- eral march, As the notes of the march died away on the heavy per- fumed air, the pastor — stepped to the front of the pulpit and w'th the book in hand gave out the song “On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand.” ‘The chair made vacant in the choir by her death will always remain so for it can never be filled, Amid the solemnity that reigned Prof. and Mrs. J.

At last the funeral, services "were concluded and the casket with ‘its fragrant burdens was borne from the church by loving hands and the funeral train moved slowly and sadly in the direction of the “weird silent city of the dead,” where the vault was waiting to tecelye {ts beautiful treasure.

President John H Murphy at the Annual Meeting in Philadelphia old How to Secure Better News Service. P. B. Young Spoke on Intricate Problems of Publishers. Philadelphia.—With 126 publications represented the fifth annual meeting of the National Negro Press Association was called to order in Cherry Memorial Baptist Church in this city Monday morning, August 16. N. B. Dodson, chairman of the executive committee, after making brief introductory remarks, introduced Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder and chairman of the local committee on entertainment, who presided over the meeting, during which time addresses of welcome were made by Christopher J. Perry, editor of the Tribune, and Dr. William M. Slowe. The response to these addresses was made by Mr. Charles Stewart of California. Abstracts from the proceedings of the Chicago meeting, 1912, and the midwinter meeting held in this city February, 1913, were read by Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary. Mr. Boyd's report showed that a great work had been accomplished. The membership has been increased to 103. A newspaper directory, printers and publishers' guide, has been compiled, printed and distributed to members of the association. The directory gives the number of publications in each state, name of editors, when issued and kind of paper, whether secular or religious. It is illustrated with pictures of some of the general officers of the association, various cuts showing portions of the plant of the National Baptist Publishing House in Nashville, Tenn., and other display advertisements. It carries a grouped picture of four of the oldest and best known editors among our people, such as John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger of Baltimore; William H. Stewart, thirty-three years editor of the American Baptist in Louisville; Christopher J. Perry, twenty-nine years editor of the Tribute, and T. Thomas Fortune, who a recognized as the dean of the culled brigade. Mr. Fortune is the founder and was for over twenty-five years editor of the New York Age. "How to Secure Better News Service to Our Papers" was the subject for discussion for the afternoon session Monday. Mr. J. H. Murphy read the able paper, giving suggestions as to how to secure quicker news service and how all papers belonging to the association might combine to syndicate the news to each other weekly. Mr. Murphy's paper was referred to the executive committee for action. Following this discussion Mr. P. B. Young, editor of the Norfolk Virginia Journal and Guide, read an interesting paper on "Expert Methods of Extending Newspaper Circulation and the Management of Agents." Mr. Young said: "That these were two of the most intricate problems with which publishers have to deal. The methods of which I am speaking are those which have been used from time to time in my experience and may be familiar to all. If you have not tried them all you are fortunate in some respects, as some of them are experimental and expensive. Getting subscriptions is an easy proposition, but holding subscribers is the real problem." "I have reached the conclusion that there is one practical way to hold subscribers and that is to create a public demand for your news paper. There was a time when the personality of the editor was the chief asset for the newspaper in building and extending its circulation, but that time has passed. We young men cannot build our papers with the same kind of material with which Mr. Fortune built the Age or Mr. Perry built the Tribune. The American people want news first and opinion last. You will find three fourths of your average readers more interested in the news column than in the editorial. "I do not wish to discount the value of the editorial page as a circulation builder, for few newspapers in the age of new mania attain more than a local reputation unless they maintain a strong and forceful editorial page. Every Negro newspaper is regarded a sa special pleader at the bar of public opinion. We are delegated champions of an oppressed race. The average newspaper, whether published in the city or town, must depend upon its local advertising patronage for maintenance. I hold that the most N tenance. It is essential, therefore, that we build up and maintain a large local circulation. I hold that the most practical way to get this is to place special emphasis upon local news." The advantages of a rectangular news service was discussed by Mr James H. Anderson, editor of the Amsterdam News, New York City. His views on the subject were practical and showed that he had given much study to the subject. Others assigned to this subject were James A. Ross of Detroit, Mich, and H. M. Gillian of Denison, Tex. "The Press and Public Onion" was the subject of an able address delivered on Monday night by T. Thomas Fortune, Mr. John C. Dancy, secretary o the A. M. E. Zlon Church Extension opened the discussion following Mr. Fortune's address. The first subject discussed Tuesday morning was "Plate Service For Weekly Newspapers." The speaker was N. B. Dodson, editor of the Afro-American page of the American Press Association, New York. Mr. Dodson gave an interesting story of the service, how it was founded, how operated and the great good which had been accomplished on account of its economic value to editors. The discussion of this subject engaged the attention of the Convention for over an hour. The service was highly commended, not only by newspaper men, but by the clergy, business and professional men. It was endorsed by the executive committee, and each editor was requested to use the service as regularly as possible. "Paying Advertisements and How to Get Them" was discussed by Hunter C. Haynes, New York; G. Grant Williams, Philadelphia; J. Finley Wilson, Baltimore; T. Thomas Harrison, Cambridge, Mass. Among the ladies who took part in the various discussions were Miss Annie May Vann, head of the subscription department of the Journal and Guide, Norfolk; Mrs. M. C. Kinner of the St. Louis Advance and Mrs. E. Pearl Delsarte of New York. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore; first vice president, Joseph L. Jones, editor Pythian Monitor, Cincinnati; second vice president, Rev. S. L. Jones, Philadelphia; corresponding secretary, Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn.; recording secretary, W. H. Craig, head editor of the Advocate-eVdict, Harrisburg, Pa.; assistant recording secretary, Mrs. M. C. Kiner, St. Louis, Mo.; treasurer, Dr. L. G. Jordan, Philadelphia; chairman of the executive committee, N. B. Dodson, New York. THE SHEEP INDUSTRY OF TENNESSEE . . . By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture. The sheep industry of Tennessee could be made one of the most profitable branches of livestock husbandry in this State. The entire state is well adapted to this industry and especially are the Middle and Eastern sections. As is well known, one of the chief reasons the industry is not more flourishing in Tennessee is the presence of the cur dog. Great benefit would accrue to the farmers of the State if we had more drastic laws for the elimination of this menace to the sheep industry. Even the law we have on the book (requiring the registration, with a $2 fee of female dogs) would be of great benefit if rigidly enforced, as it would result in the destruction of many of these, and a consequent beneficial decrease in the number of sheep-killing dogs. However, in a state like ours, sheep may be profitably raised regardless of this enemy. Extra precaution to guard the flock from dogs, though somewhat increasing the cost of keep, will repay the farmer, providing the flock has been properly managed otherwise. Much of the gullied land and waste hillsides of this state could be profitably used in the production of sheep. This has been proven to the satisfaction of some of the most prominent farmers of the state. Much of the land which now grows only weeds could be restored to profitable tillage by the use of sheep. The farmer who is willing to give to sheep the same amount of intelligent care that he gives to other live stock will find them not only profitable, but good improvers, bringing into cultivation large areas of otherwise waste land. The Federal census shows remarkable fluctuations in the sheep industry in Tennessee. In 1850, the census showed 811,591 sheep in Tennessee. The figures in 1860 were 773,317. In 1870 there was shown an increase to 826,783. On down to 1900 there was a continual decrease, as follows: For 1880, 672,789, 1890, 540,996, 1900, 307,804. According to the last census, 1910, there were in the state 795,033 sheep, valued at $3,009,196 or $3.78 per head. Less than one-eighth of the entire number of farms in the state reported sheep, so that it may be seen at a glance what the industry could be made to do for Tennessee, if all the farms had this as a branch of live stock industry. This industry is more extensive in Middle Tennessee, as shown by the figures for the following eleven counties in that grand division: County No. Sheen Bedford 56,598 Davidson 22,160 Giles 23,328 Lincoln 42,430 Marshall 34,217 Murray 48,340 Rutherford 28,397 Smith 29,458 Summer 40,084 Williamson 45,951 Wilson 56,806 427,966 It will be seen that these eleven counties in the middle division have more than one-half of all the sheep in the state. The farmers who are giving their attention to this industry are finding it a source of good profit, and are enriching their land for future profit. I hope the farmers all over the state will wake up to the possibilities and advantages of the sheen industry, and that the state will get back to the position it occupied in 1880 when a piece from a Tennessee sheen won the first prize at a world's exposition in London.

The building is a modern structure designed, erected and fitted for the use of Collins Hospital, and nothing else. Its location overlooks the city from a striking eminence, and every convenience is at hand. Three hundred cases, running the list of diseases, have been treated in eight months. The doors are open to the patients of every practitioner of standing (Colored). TRAINING SCHOOL. A Training School for Nurses is established in connection with the hospital, and affords a fine opportunity to those planning a soundcourse in nurse training.

Morris, Dr. of the National Baptist Convention, and Prof. R. B. Hudson, secretary are making every effort to have the Convention make a creditable showing this year. In pursuance of that end is the following letter: Selma, Ala., Aug. 10, 1913. My Dear Brother Pastor: It is the intention of the officers of the National Baptist Convention to get in touch with every Negro Baptist in the United States, and, I am seeking, through you, to have a short talk with every true Missionary Baptist and race-loving person in your congregation, by asking you to read this letter to them. It is pretty generally known by this time, that the National Baptist Convention has planned to hold an Exposition in connection with the next meeting of the Convention, September 17th to 22nd, 1913, which will be in the nature of a Jubilee Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the emancipation of the race. It is expected that many thousands of people will attend that celebration, but millions cannot attend, and those millions will rejoice with the thousands that will be there at what God has wrought for the race in these fifty years. We are desirous that all shall at least be heard from, and we are sending out a large number of addressed envelopes to be used by persons and organizations, who can't be present in person, and would be glad to have a few words from each one and a donation in money to help forward the work of the Baptists in this and other lands. Every person who sends as much as one dollar will be given a souvenir of this, the greatest celebration ever held by Negroes of the United States, for $2 will receive the badge of the Convention and minutes of the Jubilee session. Use the enclosed envelope asd it will insure prompt delivery and the souvenir and badge. It is needless to say that no Baptist organization can afford not to be represented at this forthcoming Jubilee. Very truly yours, R. B. HUDSON, Secretary National Baptist Convention. Attest: E. C. MORRIS, President National Baptist Convention. DR. ROBERT MITCHELL AGAIN REFLECTED For the fourth consecutive time Rev. Robert Mitchell, D. D., has been re-elected as moderator of the General Association of Kentucky. The Association has just closed its session at Louisville, Ky. Dr. Mitchell, as in his report, succeeded in having the Association break all records in point of attendance and in accomplishments during the year.

Bowling Green, and auditor of the National Baptist Convention. He was here last week auditing the books of the Boards of the Convention located in this city.

On the 15, 16 and 17 the great Rube Foster's American Giants will play in this city select teams from the Capital City League, carefully coached by Prof. Robinson, of State Normal, Mr. Sublett and Mr. Morman, two professional players, will stack up against the American Glasts.

E. clubs play off the tie, having won the same number of games. On the whole the League has been a success and the results are just what the promoters intended—that a lively interest in sports on a high plane might obtain here in Nashville. A glance at the official standing shows just how the clubs will finish; with the exception, of course, of the Athletics and the A. M. E. clubs; the game Monday will only decide first and second place. Rube Foster's great aggregation of base ballists, the greatest semi-professional team in the world, will draw great crowds to the dell on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 15, 16 and 17. Those who want to see the boys in action should not miss this opportunity. How strange are the antics in base ball! The dope is often unset and things are not what they appear to be. Example: Baptist Hill Swift's picked by the dopists to be pennant winners. The A. M. E.'s for the cellar honors. The club selected by the League officers and managers for the games with the American Giants appears to be a good one. Mr. Foster may cop all of the games, as every one expects, but it's not impossible for the home boys to win a game at least. Mr. Foster is making this trip mainly for one purpose—to look over the players of the League. There are many promising young ball tossers, and it is hoped that Mr. Foster will give the boys a chance. Prof. Work's article in commendation of the Athletics, "his boys," in the last issue of the Globe was encouraging to all of us, and especially should it be to the Athletics. Generally, the opinion of a writer in commend "his boys" is in a blas vein, but Prof. Work exaggerates not, the Athletics have a great club. If that ever-present, always-chasing spectre known as the "big head" can be kept in subjection, we'll be ready to pronounce the benediction, saying amen twice. One of the encouraging features of the League season has been the increasing interest of the fair sex. The ladies have visited Sulphur Dell in large numbers, and cheered to the echo the boys. Get the ladies aroused and well, everybody will follow them. A fan remarked that the Athletic-A. M. E. game Monday will be a contest, the outcome of which no one can safely predict. The Athletics are a bunch of fast young fellows, who field like lightning and hit well. They have one excellent young pitcher in Harris and an experienced "old head" in Martin—a well balanced team to be sure. The A. M. E.'s field carefully—not as rapidly as the Athletics—and bat well, especially in the pinches, Good pitching and timely hitting put them where they are. In the box they have a coming star in Ford, and a heavy man in Alexander, also good twinklers in Aberneth, and McGooke. Just who will pitch this game has not been announced, but we guess Harris for Athletics, and Ford for A. M. E. will work. FOUR TEAMS SELECTED FROM CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE.

London, Aug 25.—The man in the street showing tonight in an emphatic manner that he does not share in the hostility to Jack Johnson, the American Negro pugilist. He regards the Negro as the victim of persecution which is due to color prejudice. Notwithstanding the announcement that Johnson's appearance had been postponeed, the Euston music hall and South London music hall where he had been billed to appear, were densely crowded tonight, and there were great mobs outside of each. Johnson's first turn was at the Euston. Here there was a great uproar from the moment the curtain went up. The audience was determined to have Johnson, and stood up and shouted for him. "Boo" Women from Stage. They refused to listen to two comediennes who had refused to appear if Johnson did but in consequence of the announcement of the postponement of his appearance had agreed to go on. The audience drowned the efforts of these two young women with whistles, cat calls, and hisses and they were obliged to retire, and the whole show was held up. Presently a roar of cheering outside the hall announced that something was happening. Johnson's car had arrived with the big Negro, who was all smiles. The crowd velled with delight at Johnson's appearance and climbed all over the car in an effort to shake hands with him. Johnson was almost smothered by the mob that got on all parts of the car, and the police had great difficulty in clearing a pathway for the pugilist to the entrance. Cheered by Theater Crowd. Johnson and his friends marched in under the leadership of Manager Loxer of the hall. The lights were down, but the audience got a glimpse of Johnson and cheried frantically for several minutes. They also sounced words of encouragement to the pugilist, few dissentents vally protesting by hissing. Johnson stood smiling and bowing to several minutes. Then he left and tried to escape the crowd by taking a taxicab at another entrance. This was useless however, and the police had another job in ridding the car of those who were climbing to it. When at length the car was free and started hundreds ran longside of it for some distance. There were similar scenes at the South London music hall. Here Johnson made a speech in which he said among other things: "My only crime is that I beat Jeffries." When he left there were scenes similar to those at his departure from Euston hall.

Buford wish to thank their many friends, through this paper, for their many handsome, useful and appreciative presents at their wedding. meeting, during which time address TO THE FARMERS OF TENNESSE SRE By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture. What is the trouble With Tennessee. We import into Tennessee every year wheat. corn, oats, hay, rye, barley apples. potatoes, milk, butter, meats and cheese, all staple products in Tennessee, and all can be produced right here in the State as well and as cheap as they can be produced anywhere. The money paid out that leaves the state runs into millions of dollars. Why should this money leave the State when the products its pays for can be produced better here? Since earliest childhood we have heard orators grow eloquent over our matchless resources, the fertility of our soils, the abundance and purity of our water. The luxuriance of the grass on our meadows, our cattle, outh flocks of sheep. To fields of golden grain, our heards of hear them one would think Tennessee was a veritable El Dorado. The pictures they portray are pleasing and possible. Our Creator has made them possible, but what have we been doing. Have we been using as we should this possible El Dorado? It does not appear that we have, when we enumerate the many things we are importing into Tennessee. It does not look like it when we travel over the State and see the many evidences of abuse this favored land has been subjected to. We see gallled and washed hillsides. We see weeds and briars growing where there should be waving the golden grain. The herds and flocks are few and far between. There is much we find that does not fit in the pictures we have heard so eloquently word painted so many times. I would prefer to follow in the same vein if facts would bear me out, but you know they would not. So long as we import the staples we now import when they should and could be produced here we had better face the music, find out the cause, and try to remedy it. The cause, broadly stated, is want of interest in the agriculture of the State. There has been much activity for several years in the development of our mineral and timber resources. This has necessitated increased mileage of railroads. With the railroads, came manufacturing establishments. New cities and towns have grown up, all increasing the consumption of farm products and at the same time decreasing farm production because the increased demand for labor was largely supplied from our farms. Then too, the public schools in the past have educated the boys and girls away from the farm instead of to the farm. The country schools have been neglected in a measure. The new, inexperienced teachers have been sent to the country schools. The boys and girls have had help up to them as ideals men and women who had become famous in some of the professions and encouraged to qualify themselves for professional careers. Farmers, if they secured educational advantages for their childrine, had to move ti the towns and villages. The boy and girl neither had a chance to see or hear anything to encourage them to stay on the farm. It is not to be wondered at that they wanted to get away from the farm and it is easy to understand why we are importing so much that we should be producing in Tennessee, and that, before another five years, we will be producing in Tennessee. You have heard it said, "There is no lane so long without a turn." We are rounding the turn. The high cost of living is helping us. The faithful few have been working long for better agriculture. They have succeeded in interesting a few in different portions of the State. Those few have been improving their land and practicing modern, scientific methods. Now with the prevailing high prices and their increased production they are prospering. The newspapers always in the fore-front of progress, are lending their aid in popularizing agriculture as a vocation and in the dissemination of information valuable to the farmer. The railroad managers are awake to the value of a progressive agricultural section along their lines and are lending every possible intelligent aid to the development of the farm along their lines. Those at the head of the public school system of the State have changed their policy and now encourage the teachings of agriculture and domestic science. The progressive farmer is now regarded as the shrewd man of business. The comic supplements of the Sunday papers no more caricature the farmer as the hay seed and country bumkin. The leaders in agricultural development are eliminating the theorists and putting in his place the teacher and lecturer who talks practical common sense in language the farmer can understand. While we are importing many things we should be raising at home; while there is still evidence of neglect and indifference on the part of the farmers of the past, we are going to decrease the imports with home products and we are going to cover with a mantle of green the galled hillside, evidences of the poor farming of our predecessors. Then we can in truth boast of the richness, grandeur and beauty of our own redeemed Tennessee. RAILROAD TIME TABLES Louisville & Nashville R. R.
