As recognition of service rendered and in consideration of the unique position he occupies in the public eye today, a medal has been presented to Mr. C. A. Dickson, of Buffalo, New York. The presentation was made at a reception and banquet given at Elwood Music Hall, Buffalo, by the men's Club of the St. Phillips Church, who were assisted by the Colored citizens of Buffalo. The reception was two-fold; in that it was also for the entertainment of the visitors in Buffalo attending the Perry Centennial celebration. The affair was given on Friday night the fifth, and there were six hundred guests present. A music program was rendered. The St. Phillips Choir sang "Gloria" from Mozart's twelfth mass. An address was delivered by the secretary to the mayor who welcomed them to Buffalo. The Rev. J. E. Nash, D. D., pastor of the Michigan Street Baptist Church, gave an interesting address on "Heroes of Our Race." He eulogized and spoke at length on the Negroes who served on Perry's battleships. The Vine Street M E. Church Choir assisted in the singing. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. W. H. Holtberg, a club woman of national repute. She presented a medal to Mr. C. A. Dickson, from the Perry entennial Committee who has come into prominence as the only direct surviving relative of the late Anthony Williams, a colored hero of the Battle of Lake Erie. There were two other descendants, who traced their lineage back to this noble hero: Moses Day and Mrs. Catherine Seaton. They too received medals. The arrangement committee consisted of Rev. J. W. Livingston, Chairman, Alexander Parker, Vice Chairman, Cornellius Ford, Secretary, Mont Tate, Assistant Secretary, T. D. Payne, Treasurer. BAPTIST LEADERS SPEAK. The Executive Committee of the National Baptist Convention, in presenting the program for their 33rd anniversary says that it regards this as the most important year in the history of its denominational life, and in making a program for this session of the Convention it has recognized the fact that this is what might be called the "Year of Jubilee" among the Negroes of America. And since it has been ordered that a celebration be had, setting forth the progress made by the race during the fifty years since the emancipation from slavery, they have formulated the program in a way to give an opportunity to all who may attend the Convention to visit the Exposition. It will be noted that four entire afternoons are given over to the Exposition feature of the Convention. They have sought to combine all of the agencies which have contributed to the advancement of the race during the past fifty years, by inviting speakers from all the great missionary organizations which have been at work among the Negroes. The committee seems to have sought the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the formation of the program and in all, they have endeavored to do, in bringing before the world the progress made by the race.

Nashville needs such a man; Nashville has been looking for such a man; and now Nashville has the chance of getting such a man NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 12. 1913. M. BOB ELLIOTT for the past thirty years has been a builder and contractor. He has superintended the erecting of some of the largest buildings in Nashville, as well as doing more of that kind of work than any other one individual. His entire business career, which has been a success, was spent in doing things which have prepared for the office to which he aspires Bob Elliott is not a To the Colored Voters of Nashville: Several good and substantial reasons why the colored voters should cast their votes for Robert Elliott for the Commissioner of Water Works, Street Cleaning and Work House: BASEBALL In the first place, he did not seek the office, but the office sought him. His candidacy is the result of an unusual degree of pressure from a nonpartisan committee representing hundreds of voters of the best citizens of Nashville. It is not necessary for him to seek a job, for he fills at this time some of the most responsible positions held by any man in Nashville. In the second place, he believes in progress, good government and laws administered without regard to color. And in the third place, for the prevention of graft by the city officials or employees working under their direction. Mr. Elliott is not a politician, he is a man of affairs, a business man whose marvelous success is the most striking evidence of his ability. He is not an extremist, he is sane and practical, honest and earnest. His many years of experience and his successful business career fit him for the office to which he inspires. He came to Nashville thirty years ago without a dollar, and went to work as a bricklayer for the large and prosperous firm of which he is now president. He is a staunch friend of the laboring man, who is the bone and sinew of the nation. As evidence of that fact, he never encourages an attempt to ignore or do away with Negro labor, or to decrease the pay which they get for their service. He employs fifteen colored brickmasons regularly, paying them splendid salaries without any discrimination whatever between them and the masons of the other races. RUBE FOSTER'S Great Aggregation of NEGRO BALL PLAYERS, CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD ALL STAR TEAMS OF THE CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE One of his opponents, Mr. Geo. Steinback, has been a public official for twenty years, and is now chairman of the Board of Public Works. He is also asking to be elected to this position. Mr. Steinback is claiming that the colored fire department of East Nashville came through his efforts. This statement is not quite correct. It was through the efforts of Mr. Hooper Phillips, that the Negroes were appointed firemen. Along with this appointment they received other positions at Mr. Phillips' hand, and have lost them at the hand of Mr. Steinback. These Negro firemen have continued to hold their positions, only because they proved themselves to be worthy of the trust reposed in them. Athletic Park Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday SEPT. 15, 16, 17 SEE THESE GAMES ADMISSION 25c TO EVERYBODY GAME CALLED----3:00 P.M. Mr. Elliott has worked side by side with the Negro, and understands him thoroughly, and is therefore in full sympathy with him. He now employs 150 to 200 Negroes, paying them from 20 to 60 cents per hour, all of whom are paid in cash every Saturday. a Nashville boy is the leading catcher for the American Giants. He stopped Ty Cobb from stealing bases. See him in action. Mr. Steinback has failed to give the Negro any recognition. In the 24th, 25th, 26th and other wards, the Negro tax-payers have poor lights, undesirable street, and despite the fact that they have petitioned him as chairman of the Board of Public Works, to give them some consideration, as citizens and tax payers, he has failed to give these petitions the due measure of respect. In view of this disregard of the rights, privileges and petitions of the Negro citizen, we would like to ask in all cander, on what grounds he requests the Negro to vote for him. It is predicted that if Mr. Steinback is elected, conditions will be worse for the Negro within the short period of six months after he has taken the oath of office. There will not be a Negro working on the corporation force. Before casting your votes, investigate the scavenger force in West Nashville, you will find that the Negro force has been reduced to three in number very recently. Such discrimination as this would not go if Mr. Elliott were elected, because they had always been faithful employees. It is rumored that if Mr. Elliott is elected, he will vote to raise the wages, instead of lowering them. To have a safe and sane government under our commission form of government, let us not cast our vote for a man that has bankrupted. We are reliably informed that one of his opponents that is asking for your vote is a man of this character. If you want a progressive government, good order, laws properly administered and the rights of all citizens respected without regard to race or color; if you want the Negro tax-paying citizens to be given proper consideration with regard to public improvements in the sections where they live, on the 11th day of September, 1913, cast your vote for Robert Elliott for the Commissioner of Water Works, Street Cleaning and Work House.

This department of the Fair promises to be of interest from an educational as well as from the standpoint of beauty and pleasure. Possibly none of the general departments of the State Fair have been developed along broader lines than the children's work. Just as greater facilities for a more general education are being developed by schools and colleges, just so does the State Fair keep abreast of the needs of its young citizens and offers them every inspiration by exhibits and premiums to develop their talents and thus become a part of the State's progress. In the educational features provided, the Child Welfare Department, under the management of Mrs. Eugene Crutcher will represent all interests related to the welfare of the children, and intended especially to point to remedial measures which may improve the common lot of childhood. All aspects of the environment of children is considered: "Infant Feeding," "Hints on Clothing," "Sanitation" and "Child Labor." A model school rest room will be fitted up for inspection. The Story Tellers' League and the children's play shops—the indoor play room, and the model play ground, the outdoor play and manual activity in the life of the child—is planned to be one of the best, most useful and instructive of this department. Stories will be told every day, not only to amuse the child but to instruct the older ones "how to tell stories." The play ground, an immense shady, grassy plot, located just outside the door of the Educational Hall, is under the management of Mr. J. A. Carter of Boys' Club, and Mr. John A. Burt. The play ground is open to all, for play and play. An especially attractive educational feature will be the music under the very capable supervision of Mrs. Prudence Simpson Dresser, who is planning three concerts for the week and a musical lecture from Milton H. Cook, Mrs. Dresser is, herself, of national reputation and these concerts will be of the very highest type and of great educational value. The catalog of Educational Department contains premiums for boys and girls from six years to eighteen years of age, embracing Fine Arts, Designing, Inventions, Manual Training, Domestic Art. Domestic Science. Sunday school work is given special notice, premiums being offered for primary and junior work and is under Mrs. Isaac Sewell, who is known to the whole State as Elementary Secretary of Sunday school work. A special premium list is offered to pupils of rural schools, also normal schools, city high schools and county schools. The Commercial Educational Department contains an unusual line of premiums given by Nashville business men. Displays of clerical work, factory work, dry cleaning, candy making, laundry, etc. will be demonstrated daily. The increased interest in the Children's Department, from number and excellence of exhibits to variety of classes, has necessitated the compilation of a special catalog and a separate exhibition hall. The catalog was arranged early in the spring and sent all over the State to county superintendents of public instruction and high school principals, asking their cooperation in State Fair work and many have responded. The Fair management is offering one hundred dollars each in premiums to Boys' Corn Clubs and to the Girls' Caning Clubs of the State. Mr. Clark Woodward of Middle Tennessee State Normal will send a magnificent display of manual training, and Miss Arther, Domestic Science teacher of the same school, will exhibit. Mr. S. T. McCaul, of the Tennessee Industrial School, is enthusiastic over his display of the actual work to be shown by his boys. Many of the county and high schools in the State are planning for exhibits and it is expected that the exhibits by individuals will be larger than ever before. Miss Will Petway is chairman of Children's Work. We want the boys and girls from over the State to visit the State Fair. No matter in what a child, man or woman may be interested, he or she will find here the best results, inspiration and new ideas ready for inspection and study. Write for catalog and information. Plan to exhibit for your own good and by your success or failure, help some one else. "I am going to the State Fair," is your slogan, so prepare to start Fair-ward in September. HORSE SHOW AT STATE FAIR Of the agencies that have contributed to the betterment of the different types of horse, none have been as potent as the Horse Show, nor has any other social pastime been as efficient in educating the people along the line of scientific breeding. The Great Tennessee State Fair, which will be held at Nashville September 20 October 4, has provided a list of entertainments for its Horse Show feature which will make it the most unique as well as the most elaborate entertainment of the kind ever attempted in the Southern states. In addition to the ordinary features, there will be many new and novel ideas introduced for the first time, including the musical ride by 30 couples. Does your husband know just how much you need the little conveniences to make your work easier? Have you ever told him?

LATHAM NOTES The crops, tobacco and corn are very good owing to the lack of rain. The tobacco crop is not as good and great in this neighborhood as it was last year.

The tobacco in the bottoms is good and lne. Some of the people of Weakley County are certainly well blest, especially in owning their homes and having plenty. The better part is, they are striving for more. Hogs, good houses, mules, horses, sheep, goats and children are their delight. Mrs. Thos. Latham.

Kennedy, general director of The Con T, Kennedy Shows, which will provide all of the amusement features for the Tennessee State Fair, September 29 to October 4, has assem- bled a musical comedy organization, featuring La Zoria, a premier dancer and entertainer who has scored a marked success in the music halls of London, Berlin, Paris and St. Potersburg and other European cities. /Manager Kennedy, appreciating the importance of surrounding this star with & competent supporting company, hns spared no pains or expenso, The ward: robe is lavish and the scenic investiture worthy of xn organization playing the first-class. theaters. Nor has Manager Kennedy overlooked the orchestral re quirements, Mirth, music and melody reign supreme with the La Zorin Show. To provide the electrical effects which ‘ada a distinctiveness and charm to this ‘remarkable musical comedy offering a half dozen expert electricians are carried. Spot and flood lights are utilized an¢ novel. mechanical effects interwoven making the La Zoria entertainment at ‘once unique and meritorions. A beauty chorus of twenty comely Indies assist in the performance. The latest sons hits are brought out in a striking man ner, and altogether it is a performanc which will appeal to folks who enjoy high-class, smart, clean entertainment. TO BE LITTLE WORLD'S FAIR ‘The directors of the Tennessee State Fair are to be felicitated upon having concluded arrangements with The Con T. Kennedy Shows to provide the amuse- ment features this year, Transported on thirty-two sixty-foot cars, carrying twenty-two individual attractions and three riding devices, thoroughly equipped in every department, The Con T, Ken- nedy Shows are recognized us the great: est amusement enterprise of its charac ter in the world. The Plaza of Pleasure, at night, pre- sents a bewildering picture—a veritable World's Fair, in miniature. Thousands of electric lights make this section even brighter than day. To provide the elec ‘trical illumination is carried two com- ‘plete lighting plants, and this part of the equipment alone represents an out lay of $40,000. The wagon fronts arc resplendent with gold leaf and allegor feal carvings. A world of money has been invested in the paraphernalia, To get away from the usual method of presenting amusement attractions in separate exhibitions the freaks with The Gon T. Kennedy Shows have been as sembled under one canvas, one price of admission being charged to seo them all In the selection of these curious peo ‘ple for public exhibition, Manager Ken: nedy has been careful to elimniate any feature distasteful or at all unwelcome ‘to the most fastidious patrons The Congress of Nature's Mistakes, which ts a decided factor of the Midway is most comprehensive and unique. CABARET SHOWS AT THE FAIR The announcement that the trustees of the ‘Tennessee State Fair have con cluded negotiations with the Con , Ken: nedy Shows to provide all of tho amuse ment features this year, comes with ‘more than an ordinary degree of inter: est and insures the patrons of an en tertainment diversified and high-class, Among the twenty-wo shows which Manager Con T. Kennedy is to.bring us, one feature which should appeal most strongly to our people is the Cabaret Show. Having apent months in Chicago, New York and the capitals of Europe during the past winter, Manager Ken- nedy evolved the idea of presenting to his carnival patrons a form of variety entertainment such as has not heretofory been in evidence with this class of an amusement enterprise, From advance re- ports it would appear that the Cabaret Show is of exceptional magnitude and merit. While the management has exercised great care in the sclection of talent and in the form of entertainment, we are led to believe fhat although the objec- tionable features of the Etropaan cab- aret have been eliminated the corps of Kennedy entertainers present « program of unusual interest. Vaudeville plays an important part in the amusement of the masses all over the world, and it is fair ‘to presume that the entertainment to ‘be accorded the patrons of the Cabaret Show, a leading feature of the Con T. Kennedy sgategntion, wil be entertained in an exceptional manner, ‘There wll be ten high-class vaudeville acts, to say ‘nothing of the exponents of modern ‘Waaisine FAIR WILL BE INSTRUCTIVE On Monday morning, September 29th, the gutes of the Tennessee State Fair will be thrown open to visitors and for six whole days the people of Tennessee and neighboring states will have an op- portunity to see exemplified the progress Wwe are making agriculturally, and they are going to be astounded at the progress wo are making, While many men and women know something about one or more “of the country’s big state fairs, not so many know about the organiza- tion and the effort expended in success: fully conducting one of these expositions, Inly a few know definitely the how and he why of the state fair of today.

AGRICULTURE AT STATE FAIR From the colonial beginning of this sountry there has been some apprecia- tion of the fact that our really big de- velopment problems were agricultural problems. Kor many years this appire siation was merely latent, After vast tillable areas had been added to our pos sessions, and as the possibilities of our millions of fertile acres began to be wn- derstood, this appreciation increased unazingly, Long since it has become an active force in our national life. Today men fn all walks of Yfe are studying the farm, farmers and farming.

We are not unmindful of the fact that other cities put forth every honorable effort to secure this meeting; but Nashville was selected as the city in which the session of the Convention should be held when the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves would celebrate. Nashville was selected because of the superior advantages it offers and its accessibility to the majority of the Negroes of this country. We welcome you to all that we have.

Mesdames Azalia Hackley, Martha Broadus-Anderson and Miss Fitz- hugh to Appear at the Pre-Convention Testimonial at the Ryman Auditorium Tuesday night. Madame Azalia Hackley, of Philadelphia, Pa., is perhaps the best known of the race's leading singers and musiclans. For many years she has charmed music lovers of America and Europe. She has a voice of great range and of exquisite sweetness. In her "singing and music demonstrations" of which she is making a specialty, she is doing much to increase the interest and to cultivate the love for artistic and classical music by our young people. The race is greatly indebted to Madam Hackley for the great interest she has taken in the young women and men of music talent and of the material help she has been to many of them. She is deservedly popular among the music people of the race and will be heard with delight at the "Pre-Convention Entertainment," Tuesday night, September 16th, at Ryman Auditorium. Another rare treat in store for those who attend the concert, Tuesday night, will be the appearance of Mrs. Martha Broadus-Anderson, the well-known Chicago soprano. That she will maintain a high standard on this occasion we are led to believe from the following extracts: Mrs. Martha Broadus-Anderson, Chicago's favorite soprano, won many new admirers by her superb singing at McCaule's Theatre on Wednesday night, and at River View Park on Friday afternoon. She has been thoroughly trained in one of the country's best schools of Music, and possesses a voice of rare sweetness and power, with a technique that appeals to the finest connoisseurs in the vocal art—Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. Mrs. Anderson is gifted with a voice of rare sweetness and by years of severe training under the best instructors, she has become recognized as one of the most finished Artists amongst us, on the concert platform. —New York Age. Nashville will have unusual interest in the appearance of Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the blind singer and pianist, formerly of St. Louis, now of Indianapolis, Ind. Madame Hackley recognizing Miss Fitzhugh's splendid and exceptional talent became sponsor for her a year or two ago and gave her prominence among the singers of the country. Since that time she NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1913. REV. E. ARLINGTON WILSON has been a sensation in the North and East and in Canada.

Turner Nortral College, Shelbyville, Tennessee, an institution by Negroes, of Negroes, for Negroes-Its Struggle, Bright Future Prospects. Turner College is probably the only institution in the state, which is an expression of what the race is doing for itself, without the aid of other people. It was established, and is supported alone by the members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Tennessee. While this is true, it is absolutely non-denominational in the instructions given to students. In the selection of its faculty, while the matter of denomination exerts some influence, still it is character, merit and qualification which win in the round up. The remoteness of the town of Shelbyville, from the many attractions of city life, serves to give the student superior advantages for doing the best work without the least possible disturbance. Besides, it offers better facilities for the instilling of the great moral principles in the student. Moreover, the direct habits of living. Special attention is given to character building by surrounding our student body with the best influences. bounds and grounds. The grounds consist of a twenty-acre tract in the most beautiful in all the surrounding country. Three-fourths of this land are under cultivation, and the rest forms a lovely campus, fronting the public highway, on which are to be seen a grove of majestic oaks, as well as other trees, maples, etc., presenting a general picturesqueness to the scene, which tends to give the youth inspiration, and stir them on to higher things. A new girls' dormitory is now in process of erection, which, when completed, will accommodate 120 young ladies. The present building, used now as a dormitory for girls and female teachers, has lately undergone a complete renovation, with some additional room for the accommodation of girls. An annex has also been recently made to the boys' building, which gives considerably more room for the male students. The student body during the last session represented five different states, and 28 different towns, cities and communities in the state. Registration for the fall term of 1913 has reached the number of the entire enrollment during the whole of last session. Every mail brings new applications for admission. The probabilities are that a number of the boarders will be compelled to find room out in the city, a condition that has not obtained since the boarding department opened several years ago. This high water mark has been attained by September 1st, fully one month before the opening day. CLASS IN Board of Control. The general management of Turner College is vested in a general board of trustees, which consists of prominent ministers and laymen of the A. M. E. Church, who are elected at the annual conferences. This board meets annually and transacts the business pertaining to the interest of the institution. Among the duties devolving upon the board is the election of a president and the members of the faculty. Rev. J. A. Jones, A. M., D. D., one of the prominent ministers of the A. M.

MUCH INTEREST BONS MEME | Pree Trip to ee Boy from | = Last year the management of the Ten- nossee State Fair for the first time ar- ranged for an encampment for represen: tative farm boys from each county on the State Fair grounds during the entire week of the fair, and no one feature of the fair resulted in more educational value to the farm boys over the State, Profiting by the experience of last year, the management is planning for the en: campment this year on broader and bet- ter lines. ‘The boys who are fortunate n being selected will have one solid week of recreation, fun and instruction, They will have an opportunity to form « state wide acquaintance with boys who are going to be leaders in the develop- ment of the State, They will have an opportunity to see and learn about the best crops that are grown, the best live stock, horses, hogs, sheep, cattle and poultry. ‘They will witness live stock judging, demonstrations in seed testing, will see the best in agricultural imple- ments and machinery in operation, They will get practical suggestions for mak- ing home life on the farm attractive; in short, they have an opportunity to see the attractive side of farming, the pos- sibilities of agriculture when we make of it what we can, ‘There will be lec tures on every phase of farm life for their benefit. _ Nothing will be neglected that can be done to make the Farm Boys’ En- ‘campinent at the Tennessee State Fair, September 29 to October 4, the great success it should be, and the trip is an attractive one, since the State Fair pays the transportation and furnishes lodging and meals to one boy in every county. HOLD MIRROR UP TO NATURE State Fair at Nashville Reflects Condi- tions in Each of the Counties. The people of Tennessee are begin- ning to appreciate the greatness and magnitude of the Tennessee State Fair at Nashville, Here within a few years has been built one of the strongest, most permanent and best equipped State fairs in the entire South, The State Fair at Nashville is in a class with the fairs of surrounding states, that have been financed by hundreds of thousands of dollars of state's money. This great re- flector of Tennessee progress and ad- vancement—this show window of the state of Tennessee—this great educator in the industrial affairs of Tennessee oeople—has, in a few years, taken a fore- most place among the great fairs of the nation. This is due to several influ- ences. First, Nashville is the natural location for a great institution like the State Fair. The capital city of the state to which its people delight to make an annual pilgnmage each sutumn, is, in countless ways, attractive to visitors, ‘When the people come to the State Fair ‘to exhibit their products and rejoice over ‘the prosperity that has blesied them from year to year, they find the best appointed fair grounds in all the South, and within but short distance from the heart of the city. ‘There the visitors may review the work of a progressive State Fair management, ‘The Tennes: see State Fair has come to be in reality the reflection of the physical and finan- cial condition of our state. The coming great exposition to be held September 29 to October 4 will eclipse in every way the fine record of the years past, Every department of the great fair to be held this fall will be filled to over: flowing. ‘The management is delighted with the advance entries and all indi- tations point to the most successful ex- hibition ever held in the history of the Tennessee State Fair, TRAINED ANIMALS AT FAIR. ‘Trained animal exhibitions have a fas- tinating-hold upon the affections of the tmusement-loving public. Appreciating this fact and having had many years of practical experience in eatering to the show going people of America, Con T, Kennedy, generally rec- ognized in this country as the premier purveyor of carnival entertainment, has assembled for the edification of the thousands who will attend the Tennes- we State Fair at Nashville, September 29, to October 4, the most remarkable rrild beast entertainment ever offered, It is a well known fact that the Ben- al tiger is the most difficult anima} to train, but Rajah, with the Kennedy Shows, the only performing tigé® in the world, goes throngh evolutions in the steel barred arena which are shnply marvelous, finishing his performance With @ race in competition with a leop: ard_on horsebenck, ‘The Con T, Kennedy Shows earry. the largest mumber of African lions ever pre sented in a single act under any canvas in this country. “The Gathering of the Gallants," presenting a mixed group volutes 24 lions, pumas, tigers, leopards bears, boar hounds and giant mastiffs and is without a doubt one of the most comarKeble features ever assembled Colonel John T, Bachman, who has per sonal charge of this zoologieal exhibition has spout many years in evolving its usual features and he enjoys a world wide reputation as a fearless trainer.

The pro gram will be under the auspices o! ‘the local committee in charge of af fairs for the coming National . Con Yention, All of the pastors of the city and their congregations hav: agreed to support the effort, as it ‘will be a testimonial pure and sim: Ple, the proceeds of which are to be ‘contributed by the local commit tee towards the entertainment of the delegates. There will be some for eign talent, some talent of national reputation on the program, promi. nent among whom will be the noted blind singer, Miss Fitzgerald, Madem ‘Hackley, who needs no introduction to the public, and Madam Anderson, who has appeared on several ocoa sions at Fisk University, The director of the testimonial is the chorister of the National Baptist Convention, Rev. N. H. Plus. Since it will be just the night before the opening of the Convention, it will be the only real opportunity’ for the local people to see and hear many of the leading men of the Baptist fam- ily, as most of them will be in the city by Tuesday night in order to rest up and be fresh for the Con- vention on Wednesday morning, ‘The distinguished visitors will be introduced but will not make speech- es, as the program will be musical and not oratorical. Then, too, the big chorus will be heard for the first time in public together with the music that 1s to be used during the Convention, LOCAL COMMITTEE MARKING TIME. ‘Upon a visit to the headquarters of the local committee that is to en- tertain the National Baptist Con- vention, it was found out that they have, by persistent efforts, gotten everything put in shape for the en- tertainment of every guest here next week, Using the expressions of the chairman of the reception committee, ‘the Rey. G. B. Taylor, he said: “The Tocal committee is simply marking ‘time, We are well drilled and we are ready to render the services we are called upon to render. We have plenty of homes, and in_ selecting the homes we tried to get the very best homes possible, Of course there are many people who are willing to takes delegates to the Convention that have never handed in to this reception committee their names, not- withstanding we have had a force of clerks at work and two telephones in service, we have not been able to Teach every home in Nashville. No doubt the people of Nashville, as do we, feel that not a home will _be closed against any visitor and that Nashville will give the greatest en- tertainment of her history to the thousands of the visitors we expect next week.” When asked for a special list of the committees, he handed in the following: Finance Committee of the National Baptist Convention-—Dr. R.

Surpassing all former state fair free attractions, both in number and entertainment value, the offerings for the thousands of visitors of all parts of the state who will throng the city of Nashville this fall will prove the greatest feature of the big six day event. The management of the Tennessee State Fair has been unusually busy during the past few weeks arranging contracts with various show organizations over the country, and the committee on amusements states that the many big outdoor free attractions are to be of the variety that cannot fail to please. A big forty-piece cavalry band will furnish music during the entire six days concerts being given all during the day and night. The racing ostrich—something, never before shown in Nashville—will be a feature that will prove delightful and interesting to the children as well as the grownups. The big bird will run a trotting race with a race horse and will demonstrate the fleetness of foot of natura largest fowl. A sensational, death-defying loop-the loop not, one of the most hair-raising stunts ever placed before the public will be performed by Nicholas Cafole the dare-devil king. The act has never before been shown in Nashville or surrounding country and is one of the last thrillers on the road. The loop will be looped directly in front of the big grand stand each afternoon and night The Six Castilians in a feature acrobatic art will be another of the free attractions that will appeal to the thousands of lovers of the gymnastic art. The entertainers have performed in practically every country in the world and bring to Nashville the latest in acrobatics. Lovers of grand opera will be given a treat. The big night horse show, where the elite assemblies to view the state's peerless show horses, is always an attraction to every one, and this season's nightly event will outclass all former displays of Tennessee trained horse-flesh. And the fireworks—everything that has ever been shown before in connection with all the latest and most modern celebration apparatuses—will be spectacularly beautiful in their scenic effects. Many other free attractions are to be added during the next few weeks and it is the intention of the fair management to make this season a headliner. FAIR TO SHOW SAMAR TWINS The Con T. Kennedy Shows, which will provide the big amusement features at the Tennessee State Fair, September 29 to October 4, enjoys the distinction of presenting one of the most remarkable educational attractions ever brought out by a traveling amusement organization. The Samar Twins, wards of the United States Government, born on the island of Samar, in the Philippines, have attracted international attention. These children, born together, similar to the Sinmese Twins, were the big feature in Chicago with the Ringling Bros.' World's Greatest Shows at the Coliseum last spring. Manager Kennedy, appreciating the value of this really extraordinary attraction, secured the Samar Twins for the Con T. Kennedy Shows. Eminent medical men in various parts of the world have examined the Samar Twins with the hope that it might be possible by means of an operation to separate these Flipipo boys. Surgeons in Paris, London, Berlin, St. Petersburg, New York and Chicago have given the matter attention, but it would appear that the Samar Twins are destined to live and die together. There is nothing repulsive about this feature of the Kennedy Shows. The Samar Twins are like other children, full of life and vivacity, intelligent and favored with a genial disposition. They are known as "Nature's Greatest Mistake." BEAUTY AND BEAST AT FAIR Illusional entertainment in the theaters invariably attract heavy patronage and it is little wonder that Manager Con T. Kennedy has arranged for the edification of the thousands who will attend the Tennessee State Fair, September 29 to October 4, an entertainment known as "The Beauty and The Beast," ideas for which Manager Kennedy picked up during his sojourn in India last winter, while securing the world for unique diversitations. It is rather difficult to describe "The Beauty and The Beast" performance. To sum it up in a few words, illusional effects are brought to bear which to the layman seem well nigh miraculous. In a great big iron-bound den a huge Nubian lion appears and seemingly from nowhere emerges a beautiful lady, Princess Karnae. The spectator is thrilled. For the nonce it would appear that the lady is in great danger of being attacked by the King of the Forest. When, lo! both lion and lady disappear as if by magic. "The Beauty and The Beast" is a big feature of the Kennedy Midway. All the lore of the Magi of the Far East has been brought to bear in molding such as cannot be seen with any other traveling amusement organization in the world.

THE ONE BIG DENOMINATIONAL HIT While the National Baptist Convention is in session in this city during the week of the 17th, it is expected that the one big hit of the Convention will be the opportunity offered the delegates to see their own publishing plant. Not since 1899, when the National Baptist Publishing House was a mere infant, has the opportunity presented itself when all of the Baptists throughout the country who cared to would be permitted to inspect the plant. The Secretary of the Publishing Board and every official of the plant with the entire force of employees engaged there have sent out broadcast an invitation for the members of their denomination while in the city to come and inspect every department of the work, and from the extensive preparations being made around the Baptist publishing plant it would indicate they are really expecting to entertain company. Each of the seven buildings has put on its Sunday clothes. The building at the corner of Second avenue, North, and Locust street looks like a brand new dollar. Then, too, the management of the publishing house has arranged to give more office space in order that the crowd of visitors who will be in the city will be able to inspect the plant with more precision and to get a greater volume of information so that when they return to their respective homes they will go back loyal supporters of a worthy institution. Just what special entertainment Dr. Boyd and his publishing house followers will make for the Convention has not been announced. In fact, Dr. Boyd stated to a Globe reporter that no special provision on the program had as yet been made, but they were expected to entertain the entire Convention some morning before the general session opened. He stated: "We believe in prayer. We have our regular prayer service every morning. If we can get the National Baptist Convention to come down here one morning and join us in prayer, we will be, we believe, better prepared to go through the winter season, and that the Lord will give us, because of these prayers, continued success." LAKE PROVIDENCE NOTES LAKE PROVIDENCE NOTES. The people of this community are enjoying fine weather this week for marketing. Those who were reported on the sick list last week are improving nicely. Dr. Hamilton, of Smyrna, was in our little town this past week. Mrs. Lucile Comba and brother were out riding Saturday morning. Rev. Dr. Harris is rushing things to a finish. The carpenters are busily engaged on the remodeling of the church; the members and friends are all smiles with the advanced step taken by the pastor and officers of the church. Our Sunday services were fine; 92 in Sundayschool; collection $1; at 11 Rev. Robt.

Collection for the day, $23.80 HEARQUARTERS A BUSY SCENE Hardly a Baptist pastor in the city and hardly a pastor of any other denomination but that has visited the headquarters of the local committee at 523 Second avenue, North, this last week. The headquarters really had a busy aspect. They have been handing out placards until this week the entire city seems to be bedecked in National Convention colors. Those in charge of the headquarters have planned every convenience for the delegates. Those who alight from the train will be instructed to turn over baggage to a special committee who will check each parcel, giving a duplicate check to the owner, that is, those who decide to do so. All the special trains coming in from the north, east and west have been scheduled to stop at the College Street Station, which it just one-half block from the headquarters. While those who come in from the south will disembark at the regular Union Station. But in each case they will be met by members of the reception committee and directed to reach the street cars. Big signs and posters will be placed in various portions of the city directing the visitors and delegates to the real headquarters, where they can obtain such information as they want. In addition to this, the headquarters, through its management, has decided to open an information bureau, putting those in charge who can hand out real information. THE OBION RIVER ASSOCIATION WILL CONVENE AT MCKENZIE. Special to the Globe. McKenzie, Tenn., Sept. 2, 1913.

September's advent brings to prominence before the citizens of Nashville the fact that one of the local companies has already made ample preparations to take care of the holiday trade. The National Negro Doll Company announced this week that their full line of new dolls for the season of 1913-14 would be ready and on display for the benefit of the delegates of the National Baptist Convention while that body of religious workers is in session next week. The invitation extended to these delegates by this local concern is also intended for the citizens of Nashville that they too might take this opportunity to inspect the dolls that have already revolutionized the sentiment of Negro dolls for Negro children. It will be recalled that it was the National Baptist Convention in session at Lexington, Ky., in 1908 that was the first national body to indorse the idea of Negro dolls. Hence their coming to this city find that this concern has grown out of a resolution into a reality, handling dolls and shipping them throughout the United States. FARMINGTON NOTES. The M. E.

The next feature which the Capital City League will present to the base ball fans of this city will be "Rube" Poster's American Giants of Chicago. Mr. Foster's club is the greatest aggregation of colored ball players in America today which is to say it is the greatest Negro ball team in the world. The catching of Petway for the Giants will be of especial interest to Nashville fans, he being an old Nashville boy who had his first experience on the lots of Nashville. He is said by fany to be one of the best catchers in baseball regardless of color. Rube Foster is one of the brainiest men in the business, as shown by his success in past years. Against this club will be placed the best new team that can be picked from the City League. This league contains the best players in the city, and several men of great promise. Among these several pitchers, infilfers, and outfielders who are capable of making top-notch players. The odds are against the city boys as to the result of the games but all may depend on seeing a good game of base ball played in an orderly manner. The City League has furnished good sport for the public since last May and it is hoped that the public will turn and encourage the boys in this effort t place base ball on a high plane and to exploit our best players. Come out Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and witness three days of the finest sport ever witnessed in Nashville. THE AMERICAN GIANTS WILL BE HERE MONDAY BE HERE MONDAY. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the great American Giants will play here. This team is one of the best in the world, having on its roster such stars as Bruce Petway, a Nashville boy who has wone international fame as a catcher. It was Petway who during the winter league in Cuba a few years ago stopped Ty Cobb from stealing bases. He is still considered the premier catcher in the Chicago city league and the equal of any in the country. He will catch the first game which will be played Monday. Nashville fans are proud of "Bud" Petway. CIPITAL CITY LEAGUE. Clubs. Won. Lost. Pct. Athletics ..... 12 3 .800 A. M. E.

The above is the final standing of the clubs in the Capital City League, which came to a close Monday evening, September 8th when the Athletics were declared the pennant winners when they defeated the A. M. E. S. S. Unions in a well-played and largely-attended game at the Athletic Park, the score being 9 to 4. The Athletics took the lead in the first inning and were never in danger thereafter. They anneried two scores in the first inning and three in the third on errors, which was sufficient in itself to win the game. The A. M. S. S.'s were at the mercy of the Athletics' hill artists, who had more than their share of what it took to win the game. Harris of the Athletics was driven from the mound in the sixth inning; Martin, who relieved him completely shattered the A. M. E. hopes of winning. Calhoun, the mainstay of the A. M. E. club succeeded Ford in the sixth but the game had been lost by errors and no fault of Ford's who pitched a masterly game, and but for the ragged support given him the game would have been different. Each team had its supporters and it may be well said that the North Nashville people yelled their young warriors to victory—they made some noise. The scrimmage was long drawn out, the shades of darkness being much in evidence when the curtain dropped on the season's activities of the Capital City League. Following the game, a meeting of the clubs was held at the Globe office, when the matter of selecting a team to meet Rube Foster's American Giants was taken up, along with other matters of importance to the league. The manner of selecting the team was finally decided upon the team cause for a lengthy discussion, which was finally decided by popular ballot. They are confident however, that the team finally decided upon will be able to entertain the famous American Giants next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Athletic Park. The Giants are reputed to be the best aggregation of colored paseball players in the world.

During this trip they wone the California Winter League championship, which was composed of all class A. A. players.

The strange part about this whole affair is, in every Ward where the Negro vote has been large, the charge is made that there has been fraud. The Third Ward in mentioned particular ly and to cover the wickedness of the trick it is stated that in all wards where the white vote has increased it has been because new comers have settled there permanently; but it is charged by the peretrators of this dirty politics that fraud has been practiced in the Third Ward.

I believe that the streets throughout all sections of our city should be improved and repaired before permanent injury is done. If re-elected on September 11th, as I expect to be, I will co-operate with the Commissioner of Streets in giving Nashville streets equal in beauty, attractiveness and sanitation to the streets in other cities in the country. I will back the Commissioner of Finance, Lights and Market House in in giving the people of Nashville lights in every section of our city and will advocate at the earliest possible moment the erection of an up-to-date sanitary Market House. I also pledge myself to maintain the sacredness of the Sinkink Fund and co-operate with the Commissioner of Finance in administering the financial department of the city in an honest and economical manner in order to maintain the present splendid financial condition of the city. I will advocate the increased efficiency of the Fire Department until every home in the City of Nashville is given adequate protection.

Howse Judge Meeks, over his name, charges that saloons have increased during my administration from a little over 100 to over 600. This is false. United States Government license and records of County Court Clerk Hunt's Office show that only 280 places where any kind of liquor is being sold are now running in Nashville, and this includes clubs, hotels and drug stores and fifty-four Government licenses that did not allow the sale of even ordinary beer. The state-wide prohibition law went into effect on July 1, 1909, and for the first few months thereafter the most strenuous efforts were made by the then Mayor of Nashville to enforce the law, and yet in the face of these efforts, the records show, that when I became Mayor on October 19, 1909, there were already 259 liquor dealers licensed by the Federal Government in Nashville who had taken out their licenses since the prohibition law had gone into effect, less than four months before. Where does Judge Meeks get his 500 increase? "TELL THE TRUTH." Judge Meeks, over his name, states that the resorts of prostitutes are everywhere in the city—in the business sections and in the residence district. "This is false." The respectabel residents of this city, I would have Judge Meeks understand, would never submit to the resort of prostitutes in their neighborhood. These respectable residents know that this NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 1913. bulldozing at the polls next T and black, is free, and ha to go to the polls in the mo te for me and if you do right to vote and you shall vote." Hilary E. Howse at Mt. Zion Bap will not be B This attempt to scare Negroes away from the polls by threats and insinuations has laud and is still having a telling effect. Negroes are reaching the conclusion that men who will allow their campaign managers to put out such a slanderous statement without raising their voices against this unfair and cowardly attack on the colored voters as unfit to hold any office where the interests of the colored people will be at stake. er wards where the Negro has a large vote. It is particularly so of the Third because during the last two or three years more Negroes have bought homes in that Ward than in any other Ward in the city. Negroes of that Ward are striving hard to make it as good as any other section of the city. They have a special pride in it, and consider as an insult this charge that has been laid at their door. orm of Hilary I believe the streets in all sections of the city should be kept clean and sanitary in the interest of the health of the people and I will advocate the purchasing of a sufficient number of "Flushing Machines" to flush all streets, that are now or may hereafter be paved. I will advocate the working of prisoners confined in the workhouse in keeping weeds cut, cleaning alleys and doing such other work, as will beautify the city and promote the health of the people. I will stand by the Park Commission in their efforts to give our city the most magnificent park system in the South. I will continue to contend for parks and playgrounds until every child in the city y of Nashville can find a conveniently located spot, where they can enjoy the innocet amusements of childhood. Society owes it, and humanity demands, that every child that is born into the world be given a air opportunity to live and become a healthy citizen. When I am re-elected I will bend all the energies I possess in assisting the Health Department in eradicating contagious disease and carin for hte poor and unfortunate babies. It will be my constant endeavor and ambition to see the death rate continue to be reduced under the wise direction of our most efficient Health Department that has already done wonderful work. The poor, the sick and the afflicted of God's creatures are those who are most in need of hospital facilities. It should be a matter of pride to are most in need of hospital facilities. It should be a matter of pride to all the people of Nashville, repardless of politics and personalities, to view our magnificent hospital and contemplate the good work that is being done for humanity there. When I am re-elected this department of the City Government will be given my personal attention, for I contend that it is Says "Tell th M. B. MAYOR HILARY HOWSE. No.37. They are concluding that after all the followers of Mr. Cooper and Mr. Meeks are nothing more nor less than the same lily white crowd that has for many years been laboring to stop the Negroes rom voting, the same crowd that is waiting for a chance to disfranchise every Negro in Tennessee. The eyes of the colored voters are opening to the true conditions that confront them and they are deciding that the ele- ment supporting Mr. Cooper and Mr. Meeks wont do, and that if these candidates allow them to put out a faulse statement as was published in the Banner they would if elected be domineered by the same forces. Big rallies are being held every night in all parts of the city, and everywhere this threat to arrest Negroes by wholesale is being discussed. Mayor Howse has said however, there will be no bulldozing and his word is sufficient guarantee to the Negroes. E. Howse No child, whether rich or poor, white or black, should be allowed to reach maturity without an opportunity of acquiring sufficient education to conduct their affairs. Free tertbooks should be furnished to all children who are unable to purchase them and ample buildings and facilities should be furnished to every child. When re-elected I will continue in the future as I have in the past to give the Board of Education my hearty support in keeping the City of Nashville at the head of the procession in educational lines. When you economize or stint in promoting the educational facilities of Nashville you are selling the welfare of the next generation for paltry dollars and cents. The people of Nashville possess a vital interest other than financial in the Tennessee Central Railroad. This Railroad was made possible by the sacrifices and priotism of our people. I remember before this Railroad was constructed that rent signs adorned hundreds of buildings in the business section of our city. Since the building of this road we have been blessed with prosperity, factories have been built and labor has been in demand, building operations have increased from year to year and Nashville is now in a fair way to be a city of 250,000 population in the next few years. The people of this city should not allow our progress to be retarded and our prosperity to be confiscated through double dealing and duplicity. When I am re-elected I will protect the Tennessee Central Railroad to the extent of every 'aw on the statue books. Of course the one million dollars which we have in the road should be protected, but the road itself is of incalculable value to every man, woman and child who lives in the borders of our city. I will co-operate with the commercial bodies of Nashville, and the people of Nashville, to procure fair and favorable railroad rates and thus decrease the cost of coal and the other necessities and comforts of life. e Truth" is false and will, I believe, rebuke the charge. "TELL THE TRUTH." Judge Meeks, over his name, charges that a score of gambling houses are running wide open in the center of the city. Some men on the inside in his campaign, I will admit, know more about the location and running of gambling houses in Nashville than I do. I do not believe that there are anything like twenty of them, nor any more of them than have always been in this, or any other city of its sie. "TELL THE TRUTH." It is not fair to publish broadcast false statements reflecting upon the good name of this city and its people, in an effort to ride into office. Judge Meeks and the members of the committee running him for Mayor have been living in Nashville during the four years I have been Mayor. Not one of these mn ever came into my office, or wrote or telephoned to me, during these years, making any complaint about conditions in Nashville. Some of them have come into my office and solicited my co-operation and aid, which they have received. All I want them to do now is to "TELL THE TRUTH." Despite false statements and political slanders, the truth-loving people of Nashville know whether Nashville is now worse or better than it has been in the past; and the ladies of Nashville know whether they are protected on th streets or not. "TELL THE TRUTH."
