SUBSTANTIAL PROOF OF
RELIABILITY.
Failures and frauds have been so
numerous in organizations of this
character that the public Is naturally
skeptical. We cite you the following
evidences of our reliability, and same
may be verified by spending a little
time investigating:
‘Tho order is now erecting a Nation-
al Temple Euilding in Little Rock,
‘Ark,, at a cost of $60,000, the same
eing erected out of the orders sur-
plus funds, and no extra building tax
er assessment has been lelyed upon
the members. This has never. been
heard of in the history of fraternal
orders. This order has never levied
fan extra tax upon its members to pay
oft any kind of obligation, and not
‘4 single instance can be cited during
{hirty-two years, where the order has
failed to meet promptly its just oblt-
gations to the people. In our En-
dowment department, the ninetyday
waiver, which appears in most cert
ficates, has never been taken advant-
‘age of, because the order has always
had sufficient funds to meet its claims
whenever proof of death is made. Our
Endowment department is national
and has been inspected trom time to
time by various insurance commis-
sioners, The order has come out
of each inspection with flying colors.
‘As we grow older, instead of decreas-
ing, oor Endowment surplus 1s grow-
ing, as the following will show:

males, cost of charter, $10; Palaces
for children, cost of charter, $5; Uni-
form Rank, cost of charter, $5.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ORGAN-
IZERS,
The order is now conducting a na
tion-wide campaign for members an
4s allowing organizers the most libe
al contract ever given by any fratrr-
nal order in the world. During the
past twenty-four months we have or
ganized €00 new lodges. Some or-
ganizers have earned as high as $200
per month. We allow orantzers,
under extension plan, to set up loci!
lodges for the price of the charter foe
For instance, an organizer would set
up a temple of sixty men at $2 each;
that would amount to $120. His
charter would’ cost $15, leaving him
a net profit of $105. We are anxious
to engage active young men and wo:
men in all parts of the United States
to organize lodges. Especially are
we anxious to secure organizers in
Tuinois, Indiana, Virginia and West
Virginia, Maryland, North and South
Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania,
New York and Kansas. This offer
will not remain open indefinitely, and

STRONG TEAM AT STATE NORMAL.
Coach Robinson is whipping the boys in line at State Normal and before the season of 1913 closes the boys on the bill will be heard from with Boyd, Davies, Howell and several of last year's team as a nucleus to build around. State Normal is going to spring a surprise this year. The coach is not making any prediction, but is simply sawing wood and saying nothing. The boys are going at their work with a vim and having some splendid material to work with, it may be depended upon that State Normal will be a strong contender for preparatory honors this year, and while not far enough advanced in the sport to go up against the first team of Fisk, it is believed by those who have watched the boys work that they would entertain the Gold and Blue team very creditably. State Normal beat Florence last year, which was considered doing remarkably well, being the first team the school had put in the field. The schedule has not been announced, but some good spirit will be furnished by the State Normal boys.
SHELBYVILLE NOTES.
Miss Dora B. West is improving and the indications are that she will soon be able to be out again. Rev. Dr. Anderson of the A. M. B. Church, South, preached at the A. M. E. Church last Sunday evening. The occasion was the Stewardees' sisters' conference rally. It was great sermon.

Rev. R. H. Boyd.
Rev. R. H. Boyd:
Dear Sir and Brother—I am writing you asking you if you know of a man in your city by the name of John Ruffin. I am inquiring to try and find him. My father was born in King and Queen County, Va., owned by Col. Alexander Fleet. His father's name was Lewis Ruffin, his mother's name Fannie Ruffin. He had two brothers, Lewis and Robert Ruffin; one sister whose name was Mildred Ruffin; his wife's name is Jemima. Before her marriage to him her name was Jemima Davis; her owners, John Fleet, of King and Queen County, Va.
Dear brothers, if there is any information concerning his whereabouts it will be gladly received by me, as I am more than anxious to find him.
Yours for the Master's call,
REV. J. R. RUFFIN,

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF FRÉEDOM.
As you know, this is the Fiftieth Anniversary Year of our freedom. I very much hope that there may be a general disposition on the part of our people everywhere to fittingly celebrate this occasion. Some time ago, you may remember, I published the statement which follows with reference to this matter, and beg again to bring it to your attention. What I wrote at that time was to this effect.
After consultation with a number of the leading men and women of our race, I have taken upon myself the responsibility of asking our people to devote the week of October 19 to 26 to the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of our freedom.
Something has already been done, however, in several parts of the country, towards carrying into effect the plan already suggested for local celebrations. In order that these various local celebrations may be carried out harmoniously and in such a way that each local celebration will contribute to a national total, the following recommendations are submitted:
(1) That October 19-26, 1913, be known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week.
(2) That schools, churches and all other societies and organizations in every part of the United States, where there is a considerable number of our people, unite and co-operate for the purpose of holding local celebrations that shall recite our progress in commercial, professional, intellectual moral and religious directions. An effort should be made to secure the strongest and most representative men obtainable as speakers.
It is my earnest hope and desire that the above, suggestions be read before the various churches, lodges, and other organizations of our people, to the end that the Fifthth Anniversary Week of Freedom shall be generally observed everywhere.
We must depend, of course, upon our newspapers to bring this matter to the attention of the colored people, if any large number of them is to be reached. I very much hope you will heartily co-operate with, and give full publicity to this effort.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Booker T. Washington,

Perfect Plans For Bio Branch.
Mr. S. R. Corbitt, Vice-President and General Manager of the Sip Manufacturing Company, with headquarters at Memphis, was in Nashville to-day looking after the interests of his company. Mr. Corbitt was a caller at the office of Mr. John H. Callender, local manager of the company. Mr. Corbitt was greatly impressed with the business advantages of Nashville and stated that his company has made plans to open one of its largest offices in this city. Steps to this end are to be taken at once. A number of traveling men will be under Mr. Callender to look after business in this territory.
The Sip Bottling Corporation is a company with authorized capital stock of 500,000, which has been organized to handle the output of the Sip Manufacturing Company. The plan is for this corporation to establish 100 plants in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. Mr. Corbitt said that the company will establish one of its largest branch establishments in Nashville and expects a large volume of business through the local office. A Nashville man will be appointed to be manager of the local bottling works and other details for operating the plant will be perfected at once.
"Slip" is a soda fount drink, which has come into prominence recently through the Slip Manufacturing Company, which has placed it on the market. It was introduced last June and although having had a run of only a few months has won re

markable popularity. The members of the company are greatly elated over the success that has thus far been attained in four states and express confidence that they will be able to make the popularity of "Sip" national within a comparatively short time. Mr. Corbitt has recently returned from Waukesha, where he spent part of the summer, and obtained much needed rest after indefatigable efforts put forth in behalf of the company. Mr. Corbitt is one of Memphis' most popular business men and his connection with the company means that it will be a "hummer."
PRIZES AWARDED AT GREEN-
WOOD PARK FAIR.
The Greenwood Park colored fair held at Greenwood Park, Nashville, Tenn., September 25, 26 and 27, 1913, was a delight to all who attended it. The exhibits were excellent. Those of special note were as follows:
The embroidery work of Mrs. Laura Davis; the crochet work of Mrs. Josie A. Britt; the punch work of Mrs. Sarah Jones; the plain sewing, Miss Annetta Plus; for hand-painted China, Mrs. Hattie M. Hiyhtower; for battenberg work, Mrs. Frankle H. Pollard; the basketry and drawing of the pupils of Miss Nannie E. Perkins, of Napier School, was the best ever presented of 3-A Grade. The millinery work of Mrs. Mabel Overton was the best ever presented and was an interesting feature of the occasion. The opening being on the 26th, living models were used in the presentation with new line of fall advance winter style.
Madam R. H. Lester, chiropody, hair-dressing, hair work, manicuring, facial and scalp massages, was a wonder to all those present, and her demonstrations were of the very best. She also presented a beautiful line of embroidery work, hand paitnig and drawn work. Battenberg and other fancy work. She received the first prize on her work as a whole.
The following persons presented beautiful hats of their own make: Misses Prudence G. Petway and Annie M. Jobe and Mrs. Sango. The fair was far better than the committee expected on account of such short notice. The people forgot all about the fair as it was rumored that there would be no fair. The ladies of the Auxiliary certainly deserve credit for their uniring work, trying not to let it be a failure.

National Negro Doll Company,
R. H. BOYD, President, H. A. BOYD, Manager
519 SECOND AVENUE, NORTH
For the past few years one of the
hardest problems the farmers have
contended with was the question of
farm labor. During that time there
hag been remarkable activity in rail-
road ‘building, manufacturing, the
lumber industry and mining, ‘Along
with this there has been a phenome-
nal growth in the sities and towns, all
Tequiting labor at prices that were
attractive to the laborers on the
farms, and induced many of them to
leave the farms for public works.
Matters drifted along well with
them for a time, The weekly and
monthly pay days were new and novel
to them; they were getting more
money than they had been receiving
on the farm, and getting it oftener.
‘They just had so many hours to work,
whieh during the summer months
were shorter than many of them had
been putting in on the farm, and for
‘a time many of them felt that they
had broken the shackles of a form of
bondage. '
Have to Be Prompt.
After a time they realized that to
insure their pay envelopes having the
amounts in them on pay day that they
had based their calculations on, they
had to get in every day; that they
had to be there on time and stay until
the whistle sounded for quitting time;
that a day lost meant a shoftage in
the money they would have to spend.
They also began to find out that
they had many things to buy that
they had never taken in consideration.
On the farm they had no house rent
to pay, they had no water rent to
pay, no fuel to buy, they had their
garden, they had pasturage for their
cow, they could keep some hogs and
some chickens. They began to real-
ize when they thought about what
their money was being spent for, that
they were paying it for things that
they had raised at home without any
loss of time to them and, most re-
markable of all, when they got
through’ paying for those things they
had ‘leas money clear than they had
while working on the farm,
Hopelessly in Debt.
‘They found out, too, that when
sickness or, bad weather or a shut-
down of works caused them to lose
time these expenses went on just the
same, and if kept up long enough
would get them hopelessly in debt.
‘Then the tendency of labor to con:
centrate on public works also had a
tendency to decrease the price of
labor, and the shortage of labor on
the farm decreased farm production
proportionately and increased the
prices they had to pay for the things
they must have to live on, resulting
in putting many laboring men where
it was hard to keep the wolf from
the door, +
Many would gladly return to the
farm if they could. Some of them
who thought, when leaving the farm,
they were getting out of bondage re-
alize now that they made a mistake,
that the latter condition is worse than
the first and not so easy to get away
from. They are behind with . the
rent and their grocery man, When
they get their pay envelopes they must
go for debt and will not go around,
‘but a little must be paid to each ot
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1913.
they will not advance for another pay
day.
To Keep Up Struggle?
Now, Mr, Laboring Man, what about
it? Do you want to keep up the strug-
gle when you know that tne thou-
sands of acres of land in Ténnessee
are not producing more than one-
fourth what they should produce, for
want of intelligent labor?
‘At the rate labor has been leaving
the farm and congregating on public
works, with the stringency of the
money market, and the uncertainty re-
garding tariff legislation, there is
sure to be a falling off demand for
labor on public works, Suffering and
want will follow unless there Is a re-
adjustment of labor conditions, 0
that labor can assist in keeping an
equilibrium between production and
‘consumption.
While the future ‘of the laboring
man on public works is not s0 roseute,
Tecan say that at no time inthe his:
tory of this country in the pas thave
the opportunities for the laboring
man on the farm been better than are
open to him now, it he is willing to
give intelligence ‘and énergy to his
work. There are opportunities for
him to climb to the top if he is will-
ing to work with his head as well as
with bis hands.
| Friction and Unrest.
If this readjustment can be made
it will be better for those who em-
ploy labor on public works, because
there is always friction and unrest
when there is an oversupply of labor
seeking work. It will be better for
the laboring man, whether he remains
on public works, or remains on the
farm, for with the congestion re-
Heved son public works and the short-
age supplied on the farms, the com-
pensation will be better for the !a-
borer. With better compensation he
can pay his bills and increase his
purchases, thus directly benefiting the
business and professional men. So
the readjustment of the distribution
of labor is a question of vital inter.
est to all and one in which all can
Jend their aid in helping ‘the laborer
to get located where he can make his
Tabor worth most to himself and
family and at: the same time worth
more to the community, in other
words, help the laboring man to so re.
adjust himself as to be worth most
as a citizen of our Commonwealth.
Rendjustment Necessary.
| While conditions make it necessary
‘for & Teadidatment in the distribution
ot labor, and while there is a strong
sentiment among many laboring men
who left the farm for the public
works to return to the farm, it is an
opportune time for the farmer to give
the question of farm labor serious
consideratiom He must know that
conditions have changed materially
und he cannot handle the question of
farm labor in the haphazard way it
has been handled in the past. He
must remember that nothing given
away is valued so much as something
bought and paid for.
It has been the custom to pay only
nominal wages on the farm and give
with it house rent, garden, fuel and
pasturage for cows and hogs. The re-
cipient only counted the wages and
used that in comparing what he was
receiving with what the laborer on
public work was receiving, resulting
in dissatisfaction on the part of the
laborer that would not have éome
about if there had been a clear busi-
ness contract—placing a value on
everything entering tnto it; thereby
making it possible for the price paid
for the labor to be more in keeping
with what was being paid for labor
on public works,
Worthy of His Hire.
The laborer is worthy of his hire,
and should be paid according to his
worth. A day's work ought to be
measured by results, ‘The laborer
should be made to understand that he
will be paid for the uso he makes of
his head, as well as his hands, in his
work. Reward merit,
A minimum price must be fixed by
the hour, day, week, or month, and
then if the laborer makes his serv-
fees worth more by Intelligence and
energy, reward him according to his
worth. If his services do not justify
the minimum price, let him go. You
ean goon have your force satisfactory
and dependable, when you make them

Lave Dncater:
understand that you are going to re-
ward merit. I have never had trou:
ble with my labor after the weeding
‘out and merit process was established,
‘My men try harder to get along with
their work in my absence for a day

expect, and I can reward those who

If we will deal fairly and liberaly
with our labor, give the individual a
chance to prove his worth, and when
he has done so, pay hi maccordingly,
then we will develop the best there

HOW THE FARMER CAN MAKE

THE EMANCIPATION CELEBRA-
TION.
Under the Auspices of The Appeal a
Grand Success.
On last Tuesday evening the cele-
bration of the Fiftieth Anniversary
of the issuance of the Emancipation
Proclamation by the citizens of Min-
nesota under the auspices of The Ap-
peal, was held with much eclat. There
was a large crowd and everything
was just as grand as grand could be.
J. Q. Adams offered a motion that
a committee of seven be appointed to
draft a resolution representing the
sentiments of* the audience. The
committee was on motion increased
to nine which the chairman appoint-
ed as follows: W. R. Morris, L. Lovis
Ervin, W. T. Francis, Chas. 8. Smith,
Rev. G. W. Camp, W. F. ‘T. Chand:
Jer, J. Q. Adams, Mrs. J. R. White,
Mrs, Valdo Turner,
The committee reported the follow-
ing resolutions which were unant-
mously adopted by a rising vote:
| Be it resolved that
__We, the Afro-American citizens of
‘Minnesota assembled at the Emanci-
ipation Celebration at St, Paul, Sept.
|30, 1913, under the auspices of THE
'APPEAL, do hereby co-operate with
the Afro-Americans of this entire
country and do earnestly protest
against the unnecessary —discrimina
tion and unjust segregation in the
departments of the government at
Washington, D. C,
| And be it further
| Resolved, That we also earnestly
protest against all proposed legisla
tion and existing laws effecting the
civil rights of the Afro-Americans in
this country, and we invoke the aid
of the administration at Washington
\in our behalf.
We especially commend the efforts
of our senator, Hon. Moses E. Clapp
of Minnesota, for his “Resolution o!
Inquiry” in the Senate, investigating
the discrimination in the department:
at the nation’s capitol, and we sin
lcerely thank him for his promise 0
jcontinued support to secure out
‘rights as citizens.
HUNTING THE HIPPOTAMUS.
As hippopotamus hunters the Shul
‘las of the Sobat region, North Africa,
ean alone. A native hippo hunt Is
an exciting and dangerous sport. The
hunters are in dugout canoes: two o”
three paddle while one manages the
harpoon or barbed spear, to which i
attached a stout rope and a float of
ambatch. When the hippo comes tc
‘the surface to breathe, an attemp!
Ig made to steal upon him with the
harpoon; when this ix accomplished
the hunters make a hasty tetreal
from the enraged beast, and in turn
engage his attention while attempts
are made to spear him by those in
other canoes, When severely wound
eda hippopotamus goes ashore to
rest or to die, and not to attack its
assailants, ag has been so often re
ported. The native hunters wait for
this and when the animal goes up
out of the water a volley of spears
is thrown into it, and slowly the
huge beast bleeds to death, The
hunters do not always escape, Some-
times the life or a limb of one of
them is sacrificed to their daring. The
hide of the hippopotamus is cut into
strips and dried to be sold to Arab
traders who in turn sell it to. the
whip-makers of Omdurman and
Egypt. Certain portions of the hide
are much prized ag shields, The flesh
is cut into long, narrow strips and
dried in the sun; its taste resembles
that of coarse beef—Southern Work

RIGHTS OF AFRICAN WOMEN.
|. CErom the Southern: Wr OFSiBan.)
Although woman in Africa Is re
garded as property she has certain
rights which are seldom infringed
upon, and of these the most impor-
tant is her right to marry whom she
pleases, or rather to refuse to marry
one who does not please her. There
are two grim reasons for this. First,
women married against their wills
have been known to commit suicide
Second, women married against their
wills have murdered their unloved
husbands, usually strangling them
when asleep. And to these reasons

The routine of business was conducted and the reports showed that the order is in a prosperous condition, both financially and numerically. A deep interest was manifested in the proposed Christmas Tree that is to be given for the poor and unfortunate children. A committee was appointed with a chairman to take up the matter and make a systematic campaign for funds. A neat sum was put in the hands of the committee as a nucleus around which to build and the indications are that many little hearts will be made glad by the Odd Fellows next Christmas.

No product that emanates from Nashville has attracted more widespread attention than the Negro dolls, the creation of the National Negro Doll Company, one of the enterprising, wide-awake concerns of this city. Nashville has enjoyed a distinction that no similar city in the United States can boast of. Aside from being the home of some of the largest educational centers in the world, it has a geographical location unexcelled. It is the center of religious thought and activity; it is the hardwood center of the United States and it is the headquarters of the National Negro Doll Company. The president and manager of the company in a statement this week declared; "We have just completed the installation of a complete outfit of dolls that for beauty cannot be excelled. There are ten different sizes ranging from 12 inches, the smallest one upon the market and the "baby doll," to one measuring three feet in height. The features, the hair and the general appearances are at once commended in that they represent more thoroughly the Negro of today than any toy that has ever been offered. Letters are coming in daily from commercial centers throughout the United States making arrangements for a complete line of these toys for the ensuing season. They have shipped them to South America, Central America, West Indies Islands, Africa, Canada, Philippine Islands and to every part of the United States. One of the largest concerns in the west declared this summer that the Negro doll had revolutionized the commercial spirit of the Negroes of his city and that the parents were broad in their assertions that nothing had ever come within the borders of their city that so delighted and that was more generally received than this Negro doll.
The further announcement that more precaution and care in the shipment of the dolls would be exercised this year, thus insuring ready dispatch and faster transportation is greeted with much satisfaction. Dolls can now be sent by Parcel Post and they can be insured so that when they are broken or damaged in the shipment, damages can be sustained sufficient in size to reimburse the consignee. Arrangements have been made with the largest express companies wherein every agent will have the proper respect for the label on the box of a Negro doll. "Nothing is more enjoyable in the home," declared one of the leading mea of the country, "than to see the Negroes fondle and caress an image representing themselves."
THE MAYOR'S TREMENDOUS JOB
IN NEW YORK.
When all the issues have been determined, and election is over, the successful candidate for the mayoralty will address himself to the largest administrative task entrusted to any municipal official in the world. The next mayor in New York will appoint sixty heads of departments and members of executive boards, who during the four years of his term, based upon 1913 appropriations, will spend, $236,000,000.

Not only will he be required to find men with some competence to take charge of the great departments under his control, but he will have to prescribe for every department for which he is responsible a course of action more or less in detain.

Knoxville by the members of the Nashville Negro Booster Club and the "boosters" are receiving the congratulations and the hearty encouragement and good will of the citizens not only of Nashville, but from many towns and cities over the state for their initiative and progressive spirit. A tremendous amount of advertising matter concerning Nashville and "home products" will be distributed by the party while on the tour, and above all the advertising "noise" has been planned and will be executed in such an intelligent and creditable manner that nothing but the highest praise and commendation can be given these young men who are representing their race so well in a commercial way.
Nashville manufacturers have provided literature for the "boosters" and numerous have also arranged to have their wares represented. The Nashville Industrial Bureau, the Negro Board of Trade and many other enterprises have given aid and encouragement. Special editions to boost Nashville and her opportunities will be gotten out by the newspapers and all of this has served to make the entire city much interested in the trip to be made by the young men and has won for them admission and sympathy from all sources. The Globe will be furnished to all on the trip free of cost, this edition containing advertising of many of the city's leading merchants, who realize

Hickman, the enterprising young physician; Rev. J. A. Myers, the prominent young Baptist minister, and many other leading Murfreesboro citizens will meet the train with the Magnolia Brass Band, Murfreesboro's famous musical organization, and parade through the principal streets to a convenient place, where speechmacks will be indulged in.

The "bopsters" will be taken in town by such progressive Chattanoogans as Drs. Allen and Wickliffe, J. R. Frierson, W. A. Thompson, O. Y. James, Simms, Davis, Caldwell, Undertaker G. W. Franklin, Protographer Brazelton, Rev. I. H. Jones and many others, who will extend courtesies such as only these citizens from "Lookout Town" can give. The party will remain over in Chattanooga until Wednesday afternoon and every minute of this time will be spent in talking Nashville to all with whom the "boosters" come in contact.
Some of the towns at which the party will be met and given cheers and a "send-off" are Tullahoma, Bellbuckle, Cowan, Bridgeport, Decherd, Stevenson, Oltiwach, Cleveland, Sweet Water, Charleston, Athens, Philadelphia, London and others.
At Knoxville, Dr. H. M. Green, Dr. C. R. Wood, Mr. John Singleton and the genial policeman, and Rev. A. D. Hurt and many others will take special delight in making it extremely pleasant for the Nashvilleans. One of the main features to be enjoyed by

BOY SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.
ENDORSES CADETS.
Enthusiasm was paramount last Sunday afternoon in the Sunday-School Union which was held at the Second Baptist Church, corner Stevens and Deluge streets. It oozed out the windows, it came through the doors, it went over the transoms, and all on account of the unanimous endorsement of the Boy Cadet movement recently submitted in detail to the great National Baptist Convention that was in session in this city. Prior to this, however, it had received its momentum and began to gather on strength at the Sunday-School Congress held in Muskogee. But winding up and assuming large proportions was not permanent until the great body of Baptists, who observed the Fifty Years of Freedom in a religious jubilee, put its stamp of approval upon the movement that is predicted by the leaders of the Baptists throughout the country to be come even more gigantic than their well-regulated and timely Metoka and Galeda Classes.
The Boy Cadets will be the shortest and most popular term used by this organization. The real name, however, is "National Baptist A. F. Cadets," but since the regular name is lengthy, it was agreed that the organization be known as the A. F. Cadets. Principal among the speakers.

Sunday afternoon, and the man who put the ginger into the whole occasion, was the Rev. R. H. Boyd, director of the Supday-School Congress, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Secretary of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, and the father of so many ideas that have developed into nation-wide movements among the Baptists.
It is said that as far back as 1880 he was contending with the Texas Baptists that they should be sponsors to some movement whereby his denomination could really point to advancements, progress and denominational greatness, and Texas has stood solidly behind him in giving support to whatever he has advocated since he has been at the head of the Publishing plant of his denomination. It was in 1896 at the St. Louis session of their National Baptist Convention that he was chosen their standard bearer to put into execution and to bring tangibly before the people a publishing plant. The people in Nashville remember well the warm context waged over the term "Negro Baptist" and the amount of enthusiasm injected into the publishing project as a result of the activities of some people in their denomination. This same Dr. Boyd came upon the scene advocating "Negro dolls for Negro children." This took place at Lexington, Ky., and when the Convention in session unanimously endorsed the movement, the associated wires and news gatherers throughout the civilized world told the story in simple but far-reaching language, that the Negroes had decided to give their children Negro dolls. The idea was a capital one and again demonstrated the leadership to be found in the man within this city.
Following this came the great Sunday-School Congress Movement. Its story of success and the manifold blessings brought to the Negro Baptists as a result of this modern Sunday-school movement need not be discussed. The Boy Cadet Movement, as was explained last Sunday to the organization that represents the fifty odd Baptist Sunday-schools of Nashville, is no doubt calculated to go even further. Dr. Boyd says that every boy on the streets of the large cities is to be uniformed. He has already arranged for these uniforms with some of the largest factories throughout the country. They will have blouses, trousers, hats and life and drum corps. There is already in course of preparation a manual of tactics for these Boy Cadets. In addition to this the Publishing Board at its meeting. Tuesday, elected a committee to have the oversight of the entire work of this new organization. The committee is composed of Dr. W. H. Crawford and Rev D. A. Scott, D. D., of Austin, Texas, Mr. W. R. Russell, of Atlanta, Ga.
No. 42.
"The Sunday-School and Its Place in the Community" was the subject of discussion at the Sunday-School Union last Sunday afternoon at the Second Baptist Church, of which the Rev. G. B. Taylor is pastor. The attendance was unusually large. Chairman Lewis expressed much satisfaction over the large number of Sunday-schools represented, after he had called the meeting to order. Prominent among those who spoke was Miss L. E. Bushnell, editor of Hope, who said, "If the Sunday-school would take its rightful and proper place in the community, irrespective of where that community is, whether in the metropolitan cities or the cross-road villages, it must give to that community prepared teachers who can interest the boys and girls. It must give to the community manhood and womanhood in consecrated religious workers that are beyond the present general average. It must be a little leaven in the loaf, just as Christ intended that it should be." Mr. Doakes Washington, a member of the Metoka Class of Mt. Olive Sunday-School, in speaking on the subject declared: "From time immemorial, before the morning stars sang together, the plan of the Sunday-school as an asset to the community has been laid, that when Methuselah held his first Bible school and when Robert Ralkes challenged the admiration of the civilized world with his Sunday-school, he was but bringing it to its rightful place in the community." Mr. Washington's well prepared address made a deep and lasting impression upon the hearers. By unanimous consent the remainder of the evening was given to Mrs. M. E. Peterson, the Secretary of the Temperance Department of the National Baptist Convention, who gave an excellent talk on the evils brought about through strong drink and intemperate living.
Chairman Lewis announced that the next Sunday-School Union would be held with the Pleasant Green Baptist Church, of Jefferson street, the second Sunday in November, but that the Program Committee would meet with the Mt. Olive Church at four o'clock on the fourth Sunday afternoon of this month.
WEST TENN. COLORED AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL
SpeCIAL to the globe.
Jackson, Tenn., Oct. 7.—It was marked as a great event in Jackson from the fact that the fourth annual foir was held.
This indeed was the greatest grandest, biggest and best fair ever held here and in fact an equal to any in the state in many respects. Thousands of people throughed the grounds everyday. On Saturday the crowd numbered about ten thousand. The exhibits were excellent, the floral and art departments, certainly gave credit to our work, also did the fruit departments. M. L. the specimen of chickens and other, fowls, vegetables and farm products were on exhibition. The races were above the average, all the stock belonging to our people. There were plenty of stands all which were entirely open and sanitary, attractive in appearance, and kept clean. A balloon ascension was had in the afternoon. The grounds are located on South Royal street, near South Royal Street Park. At night it was a beautiful sight, splendidly lighted with clusters and colored lights. The fair was under the general auspices of S. M. Diggs, President; A. Long, Vice President; J. W. Lane and J. W. Banks, Secretaries. The Globe representative was treated with much hospitality. Our friend J. W. Lane took delight in carrying us through all the departments, and giving us much valuable information. Our people are certainly "Rising" in farming, trades, arts, dairying, fruit raiding, stock raising, and other things that go to make up a substantial and useful people. These facts are surprisingly brought out at our fairs. Our people should be encouraged to bring forth their best and put on exhibition. It will encourage and inspire others. On investigating the secretaries early Saturday night it was found that the gate receipts at twenty-five cents per head had amounted to $1,685.00 for the four days, Jackson has a good and progressive people. We want more of them to read the Globe. We would be glad at any time to speak a word for them. Rev. Wm. Harvey on Shannon St. near P. O. is one of our local agents, see him.
Rev. Elbert W. Moore, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa.; Rev. Wm. Hicks, Unfortontown, Ala., and H. A. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn. These five are to work in conjunction with the National Baptist, Publishing Board through the Sunday-School Congress Movement and by the time the next session of the Sunday-School Congress meets it is expected that five hundred uniformed cadets will march to new music arranged for them, dispensed by the National Baptist Brass Band. One battalion of this organization is already in existence in Texas, a strong company at Atlanta, and an excellent following in Philadelphia, Pa. It was stated that this committee would in all probability meet in Nashville in the early spring to make arrangements or further plans for carrying out this movement.
