Wartrace, Tennessee, Nov. 4.—The Women's Missionary and Educational Society Auxiliary to the Elk River District, met in their first quarterly meeting at Wartrace, Tennessee, October 31 to November 1.
President C. B. Simmons, presiding, and while the representation wasn't as large as usual, the meeting was a record breaker for this season of the year, as it follows so closely the National and State Conventions. Every one present seemed to be very much elated over the success. We raised $27, for which we are very grateful. The Bible lessons were very interesting and enjoyed by all present. It has been said by all who have been in the meetings of the Elk River sisters that they really bring things to pass; they work faithfully for the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom. They know no failure, and with such loyal leaders as Mesdames Simmons, Gray, Shaw and others, victory was assured.

NASHVILLE GLOBE.
Hon. J. C. Napier Tells Plain Truth.
Officers Favor This City—National Body's Executive Members Like Tennessee—Session Can Be Secured If Business Men Will Hustle—Would Be Great Advertisement for the City of Nashville.
Discussion is now rife among newspaper men as to where the Executive Committee meeting and mid-winter session of the National Negro Press Association will be held. It will be remembered that the press dispatch, from Philadelphia last August indicated that Nashville had captured the Press Association mid-winter session. When the secretary of the Association arrived in the city he was interviewed on the matter and stated that perhaps the newspaper correspondent based the dispatch upon the tentative action of the Executive Committee at Philadelphia, in stating that the meeting in all probability would be held in this city, if sufficient interest was shown by the Tennessee members and the newspaper people and local publishers in the city.
If the Executive Committee and the mid-winter session can be secured for Nashville, it will bring into the city the cream of the publishers, correspondents and newspaper men of the United States. Already it is regarded that the National Negro Press Association has outstripped any organization that is dealing with the general welfare and the uplift of the race, especially since they represent newspapers, publishers, managers, editors and correspondents. The fact that Nashville is one of the leading publishing centers in the United States, ranking second only to New York proves that such a meeting of representative newspaper men will be advantageous from every point of view. Secretary Boyd, of the Press Association, stated that the Executive Committee, consisting of sixty of the leading editors and publishers in the United States, and in addition to these sixty, all members of the craft who can make it convenient to attend are permitted to do so; hence, a conservative estimate would place the attendance at something in the neighborhood of one hundred fifty or two hundred live wires who, if they were brought to Nashville, would go among and each become a press agency for the city which offers opportunity.
A strong following in Nashville alone is mustered to the cause of the association, as it is shown that eighteen publishers were represented on the legible membership list at the last meeting. However, the securing of this important meeting will depend, as far as can be learned, upon the activity of the business men of the city, as offers are being made by Cincinnati, Baltimore, Louisville Washington and Chicago to capture this meeting. But it is believed that since the president, Mr. John H. Murphy, the editor of the Afro-American Ledger, of Baltimore, Md.; the see retary, Mr. Henry A. Boyd, of this city, and the chairman of the Execu(Continued on page four.)
A Globe reporter having run across Mr. Napier asked, "What of the article in the Chicago Defender?" In a spirit of good humor he replied: "I regard the whole thing as a huge joke, an attempt to raise a temptest in a teapot to raise a either did not understand he purported to my telling the plain unvarnished truth about a man simply he abuse he had shown himself one of the arch enemies to Negroes and Negro progress. What ever may have been my opinion of First Assistant Secretary Williams, and his hatred of Negroes, and I think he excels any man I have ever seen in this regard I could in no sense have been justified in trying to maintain a statement concerning him which was untrue and which had been accredited to me in the columns of the Defender. In my note to the Defender I simply made the effort to correct this error and to add my opinion as to the kindly feeling entertained, individually, by Secretary McAdoo towards our people. I have never had any sympathetic whatever with the Wilson method of dealing with our people and have made no effort at any time to cause him or any of his officials to think so. On the other hand they have long known that I was openly opposed to them and that my opposition to them had

Bloody Deed Committed in the Office of Dr. Underwood—Shot Gun Used—No Bad Feeling Between the Men Known to Exist—Had Been Friends for Many Years—Were in Meeting Together.
Special to the Globe:
Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 1—Wm. Alexander, of Little Rock, Ark., National Grand Master of the Mosaic Templars, one of the strongest national orders in this country, was shot here this morning at 9:45 in the office of Dr. E. E. Underwood, southeast corner of Clinton and Washington streets, by M. H. Harrison, also of Little Rock, but who was a special deputy of the Mosaic Templars in this State. he shooting was done with a shot gun, in the presence of Dr. Underwood and Mr. J. H. McConico, the
MR. WM. ALEXANDER,
National Grand Master of the Mosai
Templers of America, assassinated
in Frankfort, Ky., Saturday, Nov. 1
National Grand Auditor of the Mosaic Templars, who was accompanying Mr. Alexander on his annual visit. Eye witnesses testify that the shooting was done without the least provocation and without a moment's warning. National Grand Master Alexander and National Grand Auditor McConico were waiting in Dr. Underwood's office for the arrival of the members of the Temple and Burial Boards. When Harrison stepped in and emptied the contents of a shot gun in the right side of the neck killing Mr. Alexander almost instantly. As far as can be learned nothing had passed between the two men to cause such a rash deed to be committed. And it is not supposed that Mr. Alexander suspected that Mr. Harrison would not do him the least injury. Harrison was at one time Grand Master of the State of Kentucky, but was defeated at the (Continued on page 8.)
been early and emphatically registered against them. On October fourth last, the date of the writing of the letter to which the Defender so vigorously takes exception, my resignation had gone into effect and I was in no sense under any obligation to do or to say one thing about the Wilson Administration with which I had never agreed on any proposition whatever, except to tell the truth.
My relations with and separation from the Wilson Administration are an open chapter which have been already more widely commented upon than the simple performance of one's duty entitles him to. They have been made so plain that he who runs may read. The first segregation order in the Treasury Department was issued over the telephone late in the afternoon on July thirteenth last. Immediately upon its issuance I commenced a movement to have the order revoked. I first saw the Chief Clerk who told me he was powerless to do any thing since the "order came from above" and he was only carrying out the directions of his superiors in office. I then said to him that I would take the matter up with Secretary McAdoo. I made diligent but vain effort to reach this gentleman for four days.
On July eighteenth I was summoned to the office of First Assis-
NO FOOTBALL CELEBRATION TO AT MEHARRY BE HELD IN 1915
DEAN HUBBARD HAS PUT HIS FOOT DOWN HARD.
The Boys Would Not Act Right—and Too the Work is Harder in the Classes—Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth-But What's the Use-The Very Last Stran—"Borke the Camel's Back"—People Sorry.
There is wailing and gnashing of teeth in Nashville, throughout Tennessee and to the remotest parts of the country over the announcement and final decision of Dean George W. Hubbard that there will be no football at Meharry this year. And as far as can be learned, there is not likely to be any next year, for it seems that the death blow has been delivered. It was hard for the people to believe that Dr. Hubbard would stick to such a decision, for he has always been a most ardent football supporter. He was as deeply interested in the outcome of the Meharry games as any student. He was proud of the boys, but the boys lost sight of one thing, and that is, that Dean Hubbard puts Meharry above everything in the world. They forgot that he has spent his life to make that institution what it is today, and they further forgot that Dr. Hubbard believes in Meharry boys having integrity. These things have served to break up football at Meharry. Added to these is the additional work that must be done by the students, and it was too much to expect the Dean to tolerate all of these things just to have football.
It is learned that the last year Mehary played the boys forgot to settle up with the Dean. Last year they made the feeble attempt to straighten up matters, that is the students who were interested in football endeavored to clear the way for the boys in the future, but the student body would not respond to the appeal. They did not feel like going in their pockets and refounding money that should have been paid by the managers of the last Athletic Association. So the indebtedness was not paid. It is not known definitively whether this is the chief cause of the refusal of the Dean to allow football at Mehary this year, but it is known that this discrepancy interfered with the game last year and it is believed by many that had the boys been prompt in the settlement that they might have had football at least one more year. It is all over now but the shedding of the tears. There will be no football at Mehary for many moons unless Dean Hubbard changes his mind and that is not a customary thing for him to do. The people are sorry but do not blame Dr. Hubbard for the situation. They know he has been very tolerant with the boys.
REV. J. P. PRICE AT ALEXANDER. Special to the Globe.
Alexander, Tenn., Oct. 27, 1913.—Rev. J. P. Price delivered an interesting address to the Sunday-School and League Sunday. He also preached to a large congregation at night. An appeal was wade for sinners and one soul was converted. Rev. Wm. Neal, the exp pastor preached at 11:00 a.m., to an unusually large crowd.
tant Secretary Williams. Upon going into his presence he said that President Wilson wished to have that the head of the Bureaus in the Treasury Department and in such places as I occupied men who would carry out his policies and his plans for running the Department. I did not hesitate to tell him that for forty years I had opposed democratic principles, policies and methods and that I expected to do the same thing for the remainder of my life. I further told him that my resignation was at his disposal and in less than thirty minutes after I had left him I had sent it to him through the Chief Clerk. I continued the effort to have these segregations rovers revoked until I reached Secretary McAdoo as did others who were doing likewise. Shortly after my conference with him the obnoxious signs were removed and many of us thought this was an end of the orders but were surprised when we learned otherwise.
But for my open and vigorous opposition to these obnoxious segregation orders I believe I would have been permitted, as is the case with many other republican officials, to serve out the full term which is customary in such cases. If such demands for justice, such efforts to serve our race be treachery, then I plead guilty to the charge of being a traitor."

The sad news reached here last Sunday from Lafolette, informing us of the death of Rev. John Moore's wife, who was formerly of Dayton. Mrs. Mary Hutcherson, of Morgantown, is very ill with tuberculosis. Mrs. G. W. Washington, of College Hill, last left Tuesday for Lafolette to join her husband, who is very sick. Mrs. J. D. Miller, who had a parallele stroke, is not improving much. Mr. Harvey Hyatt, of South Pittsburg, to the surprise of our Dayton people, slipped in our town and took for his bride Miss Lizzie Freeman, last Thursday evening, October 30th, and left the same evening for his happy home at South Pittsburg. The man, as well as the young lady, was disappointed, as they had planned to give Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt a halloween serenade. Mrs. Lizzie Martin, of Jewel street, spent last Sunday in Morgantown with Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Lee and Miss Mattie Angle. Miss Mary Thomas was visiting Miss Blanch Mayes on Quarry street last Sunday. Mrs. J. T. Thornton surprised the many young people of the Mt. Zion Baptist Sunday-School last Sunday by working up an old folks class and presented them to the Sunday-school for admittance. They were gladly received as well as the great honor conferred on Mrs. J. T. Thornton for her good work. The auxiliary club of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church has gone to work. They had a lively meeting last Friday, financially and spiritually, and took some new members. Mr. A. J. Swotford, of East Washington street took in the berry growers' meeting at the court house last week.

Segregation.
The matter of segregation as re-
lates to Negroes is becoming a nut-
ional issue. It was begun first in a
local way but with’ the advent of the
Wilson administration it has taken
on a national scope, The ablest
minds of tls country are giving this
matter serious consideration, ‘There
are some white people, north and
South, who want to see the Negro
treated fair. There are others who
are not concerned about fairness te-
ward the black man, But the most
dangerous feature of the whole affair
is the great mass of white people
who are allowing their prejudices to
blind their judgment.
Segregation is a mean and con-
temptible thing when _ practiced
against any race, but the Negro in
this country has « situation very dif-
ferent from that of any other race
or nationality. The Jews are dis:
eriminated against; the Irish were so
treated at one time; the Itallans, the
Chinese and the Japanese have all
received their rebuffs at the hands of
‘the American white man, but no race
Or nationality of peopte have been
legislated against in this country os
has the Negro, Segregation to the
Jew simply. means that he will be
discriminated against in his social
ife, but the Jew boy is not barred
from working at trades, he is not
commanded to drink out of separate
cups and use scparate tollets, neither
ig there a discrimination against hin
‘on {he public highways. He ean buy
a farm wherever he chooses; tn fact
the segregation against white races
by the American white people is very
Hmited, and just as oon as the peo-
ple of a white race can gain in wealth
and intelligence they are adopted into
the great American family.
_ The Negroes’ case is far different;
‘ag he inereases in intelligence and
as he accumulates wealth the louder
the cry that he must be segregated;
they must have separate couches for
all Negroes on the railroad trains;
there must be separate departments
in the street cars; Negroes must not
live on a farm adjoining a white
man; they must not work at trades
in factories along by the side of white
men; he must not live in a house
next door to a white man; all that
he has and all that he hopes to hays
must be separate and distinet from
that of other people. Under these
conditions we fail to see where segre-
gation can benefit the Negro. On the
other hand we fail to see where iNe-
groes working by white people in
factories or living next door to white
people In cities or conducting a
farm in the country between white
men ean injure the white man in
any sense,
Segregation does not inspire a peo-
ple, and it is not attempted with that
alm in view. This damnable prac:
tice was not thought of, it was wn
established fact that Negroes would
some day stand shoulder to shoulder
with the people of other races along
all Ines of material progress. Noth-
ing daunts bis courage. Mobbing
hay not done so, Jim Crowism has
failed, and now a last resort his ene.
mies are attempting to put up the
bar of segregation. Negroes will
never accept segregation as a fair
and humane treatment; it may be
done, but Negroes have too much
sense and too much pride to accept
it as a just due. Segregation does
not contain a semblance of the social
equality bug-a-boo but fs a deep Tala
seheme to check the progress of the
race along material lines.
Christmas shopping now is pleasan-
ter and cheaper than it will be In
December. Why wait?
‘The Political Trend.
| As the days go by many change:
jare appearing on the political hori
zon, ‘The leaders in the differen
parties are laboring incessantly te
eatch the ears of the people before
election time comes, The Negroes tn
‘Tennessee hold a very unique posi
tion in this situation. They take ww
part in shaping the policy of any
party; they have no chance of elec
tion to office, but after ait they are
more likely to suffer with the changes
that may come.
| During the last few years the Ne
groes in this state have falred ex.
ceptionally well, politically speaking,
‘There hes net been a “Jim. crow" law
jpassed in this state since the enact
jment of the street car law, but. it
will be foolish on the part of the
Negroes of the state to get it into
their heads that all of the “Jim crow”
‘politicians in Tennessee are dead.
|They are very much alive, and the
‘only reason they have not been busy
on the job of “jim crow” legislation
1s because they have been kept ~0
(busy doing something else,
‘The serious question Negros
should be debating in their minds
now is what the next move will be.
That there will be a change in the
alignment of the old parties is to be
fexpected. ‘The wrangling that has ex-
isted in the democratte party wilt
ot ents for oll tes, il, wth
the reconciliation it is left to be seen
whether or not all democrats will re-
turn to the fold, and on the other
hand will all of the Negroes return
to the republican ranks? The atti-
tude of the national democratic ad-
ministration will be certain to have
some bearing on the Negro vote
throughout the country, but it will
be the better part of wisdom for Ne-
groes to differentinte between state
and national polities; it will be bet-
ter for the Negroes of Tennessee to
have peace and prosperity in this
state and to work for its development,
than to spend their energy condemn
ing the administration at Washington,
Independence is the most noble spirit
one can have in politics. Parties
sound well in name, but the princt-
ples of the party and the men who]
are to promulgate those principles
are of more convern than the name
of any party. As these various par
ty leaders are sparring for th»
vantage point, the Negroes of Tennes-
see should at the same time be do-
ing the same thing, And remember'|
at all times that he who saith least!
can do most. |
| Assagination of Mn. Alexander.
DER.
| “Negroes of tis country. will learn
‘with regret of the untimely death of
Mr. Wm, Alexander, National Grand
Master of the Mosale Templars of
America, And especially so when
they know thal he was killed by 3
man whom all considered to be one
of his closest friends, Mr, Alexander
rose from the humble walks of tife
to one of prominence and usefulness
At the dedication of the National
‘Temple, recently erected by the Or.
der In Little Rock, Ark, Mr. Alex:
ander referred humorously to the
time when he was a porter at a hari
ware store in that city and was work-
ing under the gentleman whom he
‘was about to introduce as the Mayor
of that same city, and impresetvely
made it plain that on that afternoon
he was standing shoulder to shoulder
with the Chief Rxecutive of that city
in the uplift of his people. Mr. Alex-
ander never tired of work. The
rapid growth of the Mosaic Templars
junder his leadership is well known
to the people of this country, and
had he lived they would have ex-
pected of him even greater achieve-
ments,
As a business man Mr. Alexander
ranked f@remost, In his straightfor-
ward, open and frank way he had
put the Mosaic Order on a business
basis that guaranteed protection to
all of Its members. We venture the
astertion that there 1s not another or-
der in the country that is as well for-
tifled financially as is the Mosates.
And it is fair to say that this con-
dition is largely due to the far-sight-
edness of Mr, Alexander, In making
this assertion it is not the intention
to detract the least from the ability
of his associaes, but when it is re
‘membered that Mr, J.B, Bush, the
Popular secretary of the National Or-
ganization, was until recently in a ro.
sponsible position with the Federal
Government that consumed the most
ot his time, it can be readily seen
that the bulk of the burden of the
Order rested upon others, and tho
National Grand Master was the urst
to be responsible for its failure or
its success. What the policy of the
Orier will be in the future Is a mate
ter of speculation, but we belfeve all
will agree that the policy of Mr. Ale ~
ander fs a wise one and can be fol-
lowed to a large degree with wo
to every member of the Order
Hon. Mr, Patterson may not have
religion, but he certainly has the key
to the prohibition question.

MISSES PUCH AND WOODARD
PASS EXAMINATION
At the recent examination held in this city for trained nurses two young colored women went, before the Board. The difficulties they experienced are well known to the readers of the Globe. It will be gratifying to Negroes everywhere to learn that both of these young colored women passed with honor to the Meharry Medical College, from which they Medical College, from which they both are graduates.
Miss Woodard, as is known here, is a district nurse in this city. Miss Pugh is doing private work and has made a reputation that is a credit to herself.

EX-SENATOR W. R. WEBB AD-
DRESSES Y. M. C. A.
Last Sunday at 4 p. m., Ev. Senator W. P. Webb took the men off their feet with his message on the "Aid Stick." Beginning next Sunday at 4 p. m., there will be four big meetings conducted by the Association with speakers from Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago and Dallas. The Central Association has secured sixteen of the strongest men of the country to address their men's meetings each Sunday afternoon for the next four months. These men have been secured at a great expense to the Association and the Nashville, Minsterial Alliance. The first four on their program were sought by the Committee of Management.
In the opinion of some of the most conservative men of the city, the Committee of Management of the Association is laving the foundation for one of the most comprehensive programs of all around Association work of any Association in this country. They aim to plan and operate the work as seems best suited for the needs of the men and boys of Nashville. They are giving due consideration to every phase of Y. M. C. A.
Rules for School Children
will supply you with another. We have a limited number
work, and while they propose to adhere strictly to the old well-tried and underlying principles that have placed the movement on such a high plane of usefulness, and while they mean to give due recognition to the wvL established policies of the Association, they mean to be original, or near as possible, when it comes to methods.
The services these men are rendering, and will in all probability continue to render with increasing efficiency, is in a commercial sense at a dead loss to them, but they have a high and exalted sense of duty to all men, but especially to the young men and boys.

GREAT REVIVAL AT THE STATE
PRISON.
For the first time in the history of Tennessee a revival has been held at the State Prison. It has been in progress now since last week and has been under the direct supervision of Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church, and Rev. N. H. Plus, D. D., the superintendent of Teacher-Training Course at the National Baptist Publishing Board. From the results already shown, this revival has proven a tremendous religious success. Strong men have been made to weep and the hardest criminals, whose records for crime stand on the books in hundreds of courthouses have made a complete surrender and confessed a faith in Christ. A few nights ago the meeting was at such fever that it was with difficulty that the two conductors were able to separate themselves and even after they gone the prison walls sounded with songs that they have been taught under the direction of Dr. Plus who leads this part of the service each night. The soul stirring sermons and plan simply gospel that have been expounded by Rev. Ellington have caught like wild fire. A record breaker in conversions was noticeable after the third night as more than eighty souls had been made happy. Chaplain Reagan has expressed himself as more than highly pleased with the high class services conducted. Testimonial meetings have been frequent in which a free expression from sinners as well as those who have professed the faith has been had. The meeting is to close tonight when the final results will be known.
DR. JOSIE E. WELLS RESIGNS OF FICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE HUBBARD HOSPITAL CLUB
Dear Editor Globe:
Please allow me space in your paper to thank the good citizens of Nashville for their strong support and hearty co-operation with me during the past three years in which I have been president of the Hubbard Hospital Club. I can never forget the encouragement and sympathy received from the good folks of Nashville, for without their aid and support, the club could not have raised and sweet for furniture, etc., over $2,000 for the hospital.
My work during the coming year will not permit me to do club work, and I cannot continue in an office when I know I cannot give my best service to it.
Again thanking all who have contributed in the smallest way to our success, and nudging my support in every way possible to my successer, I am
Yours faithfully. JOSIE E. WELLS

Buchanan, a graduate from the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and from the agricultural department succeeds in passing the Civil Service stock breeding examination with an axerage of 87 1-2 per cent.

Dr. Washington was called upon early in 1910 for a young man capable of managing the Catawba stock farm at Fincastle, Va., looking over his list of trained young men, he selected Mr. Buchanan. After making good at this work he resigned in order to return to complete his course. The fall after graduating he accepted a position as Superintendent of the Utica Institute farm at Utica, Miss, which contains 1500 acres. His results were so good at this place caused the President of the State A. & M.

After serving as teacher for one year there he decided to take up an advance course in Fisk University. When seen by the reporter and asked in regards to his accepting the appointment Mr. Buchanan stated that the appointment together with other business matters were under consideration.

MEHARRY NOTES
The Y. M. C. A. was addressed last Sunday afternoon by Prof. Brawlah, Dean of the High Crest High School. A good many of the members and friends were present and all seemed greatly benefited by the able remarks made by the speaker. The audience was favored after the address by a cornet solo by Prof. James Wilson, of the Alabama Normal School. After an eight days' visit to Texas, Arkansas and Illinois, the venerable Dean, Dr. G. W. Hubbard, returned on Tuesday morning of this week. At Little Rock, Ark., he was entertained by Dr. G. W. Hayman, of the medical class of Mehray '93, one of the leading physicians of that city and one of the principal organizers of a hospital to be erected there. Dr. Hubbard has the heartiest co-operation not only of the colored physicians of that city, but also of the citizens, and we hope that success will attend him in his good work.
On Sunday Dr. Hubbard spoke at the M. E. Church at Philander Smith College and also to the colored citizen of Little Rock. At Marshall, Texas, the Dean spoke to the students of Wiley University on Sunday night, October 28th, and on the following day to the students of Bishop College, also located at Marshall. It is gratifying to note," said Dr. Hubbard, "that Wiley has a very large attendance and is well supplied with fine buildings. The boys' dormitory of eight rooms is now being completed and there is on the grounds a fine private Library built at a cost of $15,000." All these things have been done chiefly by the uniting efforts of President Dogan, who at one time was a professor of Central Tennessee College.
At the twenty-seventh annual session of the Lone Star State Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, which met in Dallas, Texas, Dr. Hubbard was present. The president of the Association is Dr. H. E. Lee, of the medical class of 1902. The session was well attended. The membership amounted to 59, of whom about 50 are graduates of "dear old Meharry." There are quite a number of Meharry graduates in Dallas and all are making good. Mention must be made of Dr. J. W. Anderson, of the class of '85, who has been residing in the city for twenty-five years. Dr. Anderson is markedly successful in his practice and owns a rather large amount of valuable real estate in that city.
A railroad accident detained Dr. Hubbard at Texarkana, Tex., where he had opportunity of calling on Drs. Mitcham, J. Harvey Sparks, A. J. Thomas, E. A. Randle and L. S. Stont. Mitcham is making arrangements to open up a hospital. We wish him all success. At Springfield, ill., the Dean attended a general meeting of the General Committee of the Freedmen Ald Society of the M. E. Church, and spoke of the work done at Mechairy. It is the opinion of the committee that this is one of the most important branches of the work under the care of the society.
On Sunday afternoon, November 2, Dr. Hubbard spoke at the Union Baptist Church (colored), of which Rev. E. C. Cole is pastor. It was the pleasure of two of our medical graduates, Drs. S. A. Ware, class of '39, and W. B. Ford, of 1966, to introduce the speaker. These two doctors are practicing in Springfield and they are making good. At the close of Dr. Hubbard's remarks a liberal collection was taken for the benefit of Meharry. Dr. Hubbard left Springfield early Monday morning for Nashville, where he arrived safely on Tuesday, November 4th.

deep rich soil are more profitable to cultivate than 160 acres of a shallow soil, with an impervious hardpan to run off all the moisture that falls on it.
I wish the farmers of Tennessee would understand that their soils are similar to their bank accounts—that if they take out of them all the time and put nothing back, it is but question of time until they cease to be profitable to work.
I wish our farmers could appreciate the value of our climate and rainfall profit by them as they should. Our climate enriches any farmer who will to grow a money crop for the summer and a feeder crop for his soil during the winter.
Our rainfall is sample for requirement's for crop production if we would save it, but we must have a deep soil with plenty of vegetable matter in it to hold it. You cannot do it with shallow soil, devoid of vegetable matter, overlying a harpan that water will not penetrate but which when the shallow soil gets saturated, will slough off and the lettuce vegetable matter in it gets away
I wish our farmers would do that simple practical things they can do, before they waste time trying to solve problems they are not ready for. Do not worry about soil analysis until you have made available the plant food in your soil. Then by examination of your crops, you can better tell the deficient elements of plant food than by soil analysis, because your soil does not run unilform. One hundred samples taken from 100 different places in a ten more field would each vary in plant food. If we will turn under vegetable matter, and subsol, we will find we have made available plant food sample for profit crop production and much cheaper than by an injudicious use of commercial fertilizer.
Thousands of dollars have been wasted by Tennessee farmers every year by the unintelligent use of fertilizers, one because the fertilizers were not all that was claimed for them, but the farmers using them did not give the fertilizer a chance to feed the crop. I do not care how good the fertilizer may be, the soil conditions must be right to make the fertilizer available for plant food. The soil must have sufficient moisture to dissolve the fertilizer, and the soil also must be thoroughly pulverized and there must be moisture sufficient during the growing season. Some people have an idea that the poorer the soil the more fertilizer they should use, in fact the better your soil is supplied with humus and moisture you can proportionately in crease with profit the use of fertilizer while the poorer the soil the more sparingly should fertilizer be used
Now brother farmer, I have just stated in a terse way some facts that every farmer should know and put in practice. If they would do so the agricultural production in this state would more than double in two years. There is one more fundamental principal of agriculture that I want

COL, T. F. PECK, COMMISSIONER OF AUGRICULTURE
As time passes we realize more and more the importance of a bitter knowledge by the farmers of modern practical methods in farm practice. We see our population increasing without proportionate increase in production. We see the various enterprises other than farming demanding labor and, by their thorough organization and management, increasing the producing capacity of the labor they employ so that they can afford to pay prices for labor that are prohibitive to the farmer who fails to intelligently direct the labor on his farm to increase its producing capacity proportionately.
In the past, and at present, too many of our farmers, while they applaud the splendid system, thorough understanding and organization of the working force in public institutions, act as though it were not worth considering in their own business. Now, brother farmer, we must realize that to be a success farming must be given the same thorough organization, the same attention to detail necessary in other lines of work if we hope to succeed.
We have had an unusual season this year for growing crops. While the rainfall has been about up to the normal and ample for the growing of normal crops, yet it has been irregular and we have been unprepared to conserve the moisture that has fallen, and our unpreparedness has cost us dearly.
Since I have been connected with Department of Agriculture I have been emphasizing in every way I could the importance of deep plowing, turning under vegetable matter, subsolling, through pulverizing, keeping a dust mulch on the land during the growing season and a cover crop during the winter season. Those who have done so have had a decided advantage over those who have not. They have conserved their moisture, they have made available plant food in their soil, they have prevented their land from washing, and just in proportion to the extent they follow those directions will their advantages increase. We have some striking examples in several counties in Middle Tennessee where they have done the simple things suggested. There is not a farmer today that cannot do so, and no one can do so without profit to himself in proportion to the thoroughness of his work.
Now, I know you cannot rightly cultivate as many acres as you can scratch over, but I can guarantee that you will get more crop and profit on the few acres you prepare and cultivatt right than the many acres you scratch over and put in shape to wash away. I wish the farmers could gitt it into their heads that it is more profitable to them to pile up their acres than to spread them out; that there is more profit in cultivating one acre with ten inches of fertile soil then in two or three acres with five inches of a hungry soil; that eighty acres of a

REV. CAMPBELL RAISES OVER
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUS
SAND DOLLARS
San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 29.—All records were smashed for religious activities by the General Baptist State Convention, which has just closed its session in this city this week. It was by far the most representative gathering of denominational workers that ever visited Southwest Texas, and they distanced any body, religious or secular, in financial activities. According to the reports the Convention reported that $250,000 had been raised through all departments during this conventional year. Of this amount, the Negro Baptists themselves raised $114,375.25 and a very strong support gave $40,000. These remarkable figures and in the handling and the passing of the actual cash to their missionary, educational and general church work ran enthusiasm to its highest pitch. President L. L. campbell, in a strong address, urged a continuation of the already shown, predicting at the close of his remarks, which were addressed to more than five thousand people, that it was not the intention of his convention to become intoxicated, but to redouble their efforts to do more and greater work for the Master's kingdom. The activities of this organization created a profound impression that the Western Texas Conference of Southern white Methodists, which in session at the same time presided over by Bishop Adkins, passed a set of resolutions unanimously endorsing the work of the Negro Baptists, which resolutions were signed by Bishop Adkins and the secretary of the Conference. These resolutions were handed to the Convention through Prof. D. T. Shelton, the secretary of the Baptist State Convention who read them and keeps the original manuscript for the Convention. Telegrams were read from distinguished Baptists, regretting their inability to attend. Great amplitude went up when a telegram was read from Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., who formerly pastored the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of this city, and was the champion of the cause of this Convention when it organized in this city twenty years ago. Many of his co-workers made mention of the fact during their remarks on the floor of the Convention.
DR. R. H. BOYD A SPEAKER.
The citizens of Toledo, Ohio, have invited Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., of this city, to be the principal speaker at the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation to be held in that city on the 27th of this month. The invitation
Nashville, Tenn.
came through Dr. J. C. Faylor and it is understood at the Publishing House that Dr. Boyd has mailed his acceptance and will leave for the city on the Lake in time to render his oration on "Hindrances That Help."
MAKING GOOD IN NEW FIELD.
Fine Record of Miss E. Leola Hudson.
Winner of Chamberlin Prizes.
Brooklyn, N. Y.--Making good in a northern school, surrounded by new conditions, new faces and in a new line of work, is not always an easy task. But this is being accomplished by Miss E. Leola Hudson, the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. R. B. Hudson, of Selma, Ala, who is here attending Pratt Institute. Miss Hudson is perhaps one of the most remarkable students that have entered Pratt, notwithstanding a long list of exceptional talent that has been found from year to year in this institution.
While she comes from distinguished parentage, her father being secretary of the great National Baptist Convention, secretary of the Baptist State Convention of Alabama, treasurer of the End. Board of Odd Fellows of the State of Alabama, and one of the secretaries of the Sunday School Congress and for the past twenty-three years principal of the Clark High School, of Selma, Miss Hudson has individuals and accomplishments that are distinctively her own.
She finished the normal course at Selma University in 1908 and won high honors as valedictorian in a class of fifty-two. After leaving this institution she went to Atlanta, Ga., and finished the college preparatory at Spelman Seminary in 1909. She graduated with honors from the college department at Morehouse College, formerly Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta, Ga., from which she received a scholarship prize.
She also finished from the domestic out of danger.
"THE WAL-MEH-ROG PEAR FISK
MAL, SPIRIT."
Last fall there arrived in Nashville a very green and inexperienced lassie called "Little State Normal." She expected every one to laugh at her and censure her, but, on the contrary, she found waiting for her four beautiful, cultured sisters and a strong manly brother, who said, as she approached, "Come and join us. We are delighted to welcome you in our midst."
Since then these four sisters, Walden, Roger Williams, Pearl High, and Fisk, have gladly walked arm in arm, having huddled in the center "Little Miss State Normal," teaching her city ways and giving her their encouragement and inspiration. Nor, are they afraid, for behind them walks their protector, their big brother—Meharry.
"Little State Normal" his entertained her sisters and brothers; in turn, she has been entertained by them.—Miss Mae C. Hawes in State Bulletin.
In Honor of Miss Barksdale of St.
Paul, Mien
Miss Helena M. Lowe entertained a few of her friends at her home 1234 First avenue. South from 8 to 11 o'clock p. m. Monday, 27th. The house was beautifully decorated with palms, yellow and white chrysanthemums. The menu was served in three courses. Among those present were: Misses Marie Coombs, Eleanor Battle, Fannie Watkins, Eddie Franklin, Leo Bright, Georgia Bright, Janetta Bright, Mary Stevens, Ella Caldwell, Hattie Ferguson, Emma Stone, Nannie Stone, Pattie Berry, Alma Jones, Eurasia Crostswait, Bret Crostswait, Madline Carter, Mav Harris, Lena Crostswait, Lola Ruffin, Edwina Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Johnson. Messrs. A. Borders, Clinton Moore, P. Santos, B. Thompson, J. Crawford, R. Stanton, Mr. Stevens, Ivan James, Vernon Artis, Andrew Johnson, R. S. Nurse, R. P. Cummins, L. Mitchell, Mr. Parish. The entertainment was in honor of her cousin, Miss Elnora Barksdale of St. Paul, Minn., who left her home in St. Paul on September 8 and she and Miss Lowe met in Loxington, Ky., at the home of Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Ballard, Miss Lowe's aunt, where they spent one month, being highly entertained. Since which time Miss Barksdale has been the guest of Miss Lowe where she has made many friends. Miss Barksdale left for her home in St. Paul. 7:55 p. m. October 28th.
SMITH-FLEMING
Brilliant and beautiful was the wedding of Miss Janice Marie Fleming to Mr. Jesse James Smith at her home, 910 Horton street. The home presented a beautiful scene being decorated in rainbow colors, and potted plants. The bridal party arrived at the citar about eightthirty clock marching by the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march rendered by Miss Maggie Reed. The bride came in on the arm of her brother Mr. Charles Fleming, and the groom with Mr. Henry Elack as the best man. Miss Minnie Toney as maid of honor, in with Mr. David McKissack, Miss Lottie Jackson bride maid came in with Mr. William Turner. T he ceremony was solumnized by Rev. G. W. Porter of St. John Church, after which the guest were made pleasant at the reception. An ice course in the color scheme was served and vocal selections were rendered by Miss Rhodes and Northern, and musical selections by Miss Bosworth and Barnes. The happy couple received many beautiful gifts and congratulations for happiness. The bride was beautiful in a gown of white crape de chine. Her bouquet being of brides roses and miles of the valley. Her vell was of tulle being caught up very gracefully with rose buds. The mald of honor, Miss Toney was pretty in blue crepe de chine, her flowers being pink bride's roses. The bride's mald Miss Lottie Jackson was pretty in a brocaded crepe of pink, her bouquet being of white Marchal Niel and ferns. The guest list numbered about one hundred fourteen. After a late hour Mr. and Mrs. Smith retired to their prettily arranged home 1026 Horton Street.

This order was orianized in 1882 by J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts, two Negroes, and has long since passed the experimental stage.
HALF MILLION DOLLARS PAID TO WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.
The National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America conducts Disability, Endowment and Burial Departments, and through these departments, has paid to widows and orphans and beneficiaries of deceased members the enormous sum of a Half Million Dollars.
SUB$TANTIAL 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:
The order is now erecting a National Temple Building in Little Rock, Ark., at a cost of $60,000, the same being erected out of the orders surplus funds, and no extra building tax assessment has been leaved upon the members. This has never been heard of in the history of fraternal orders. This order has never levied an extra tax upon its members to pay off any kind of obligation, and not a single instance can be cited during thirty-two years, where the order has failed to meet promptly its just obligations to the people. In our Endowment department, the ninety-day waiver, which appears in most certificates, has never been taken advantage 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 from time to time by various insurance commissioners. The order has come out of each inspection with flying colors. As we grow older, instead of decreasing, our Endowment surplus is growing, as the following will show:
A LESSON IN FIGURES
ATES PER YEAR AND BENEFITS
PAID
Men's Department, $11.75 per year;
endowment, $300; sick benefits, $3
per week; burial, $50. Women's
Department, $8.75 per year; endowment,
$300; sick benefits, $2 per
week; burial, $50 Children's
Department, $1.83 per year; endowment,
$60; sick benefits, $1 per week; burial
$20.
The above rates include all taxes,
local lodge, state and Supreme Grand
Lodges. The endowment policies of
$300 are grand and payable as follows:
Should death occur during the
first twelve calendar months $100;
after the first twenty-four calendar
months, $200, after the first thirty-six
calendar months, $300.
LOCAL LODGE DIVISIONS.
The order operates in four divisions, and charter fees for organizing new lodges are as follows:
Temples for adults males, cost of charter, $15; Chambers for adults females, cost of charter, $10; Palaces for children, cost of charter, $5; Uniform Rank, cost of charter, $5.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ORGANIZERS
The order is now conducting a nation-wide campaign for members and is allowing organizers the most liberal contract ever given by any fraternal order in the world. During the past twenty-four months we have organized 600 new lodges. Some organizers have earned as high as $200 per month. We allow organizers, under extension plan, to set up local lodges for the price of the charter fee. 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 women in all parts of the United States to organize lodges. Especially are we anxious to secure organizers in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York and Kansas. This offer will not remain open indefinitely, and you had better write today for terms. Address all communications to
