Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 27th—Practical, though in simple language, with a force that carried conviction with it, the Rev R. H Boyd, D. D., of Nashville, Tennessee delivered one of the principal addresses to the mammouth Emancipation Celebration being held in this city this week. The occasion was Northern Ohio, celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, which removed the shackles from millions of slaves in the United States. Since the early sixties hundreds of the descendants of these ex-slaves have imigrated to the Northern states. Toledo, one of the principal cities in the underground

railway system that became famous during these days of bondage, has been favored with a representative population of the decendants of of these people. In former days many of these slaves found refuge coming to this port on Lake Erie. Dr. Boyd himself an ex-slave, heard the shot and shell of the battlefield, responded to the call of the wounded at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Hide, toiled in the field in the noonday sun, was one of the emancipated, hence speaking not from theory but from actual knowledge, he spoke for one hour on "Hinderances that Help." A magnificent audience greeted him, in which were distinguished citizens from all over the state of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Kentucky. Dr. Boyd said in part:
"In the half century of our progress, these fifty years have been pregnant with hardships. Discriminations and adverse legislation have not damned the courage of our people, for with their thrift and energy they have overcome the obstacles that were placed in their way. They have surmounted, climbed over, dug under and gone around the Alps of opposition and the Pyramids of discrimination. The Negro has imitated the Caucasian with his inventive genius in solving the race problem for they have even made aerial flights in the atmosphere of sectional hate and race prejudice and have gone from one peak of prominence t another in their efforts to find a more favorable climatic and atmospheric condition.
"Your gathering here to give recognition, as well as encouragement to the accomplishment of those people, surrounded as you are by the friends who have been philanthropic in mind, as well as in means, with evidences of progress on every side, makes this a Year of Jubilee indeed. The race to which we belong might well be called the "child race," but the fact that it has thrown of its swaddling clothes before it has reached the half century mark, is

evidence conclusive, that it will grow into hardy manhood and womanhood, ere it has attained its majority.
"The conditions that confront us today, as a people, have often been vied as hindernices. Even in the Northern states, where you have been accustomed to profit by your labor and enjoy the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, as guaranteed by the framers of the Constitution, a splendid document in itself, you have begun to finch under sentiment that is slowly but surely creeping into these parts. The race as a whole, and the people at large, are now awakening to the sensibilities of the crying need of not only intellectual and educational advantages, but of religious development for a people, who are now potent factors in the financial and business world.
"Hindernices that have been placed in the front and have been magnified by an adverse press, daily, weekly and periodically have not altogether been properly or advantageously portrayed. In many instances they have been as mirage, which a way-faring traveler sees in the distance, and while Banco's ghost is will

not down, it has been made to move on and on further and further away before the onrush of this civilized people, who are steadily advancing toward it. These hinderances have had a tendency, as it were to develop the keener side and the better part of the present generation, and I declare unto you, that not withstanding the magnitude of some of the obstacles that have been placed across our path, we are really making progress and they have proven stepping stones, rather than hinderances. These were necessary for the development of the race. We are going through the firey furnace, as it were, and all impurities are being burned away, but we will come out, pure gold, well tried."
Though a great denominational leader, being the founder, present secretary and manager of the National Baptist Publishing House, the largest publishing plant owned and controlled by Negroes in the world, having done a business of more than $200,000 during the past fiscal year, Dr. Boyd is also a practical business man being president of the Ont Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., President of the National Negro Doll Company, which has for its motto "Negro Dolls for Negro Children," President of the National Baptist Church Supply Company, President, Nashville Globe Publishing Company, and Secretary of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, he has lived to see himself, an ex slave at the head of institutions that last year handled more than one million dollars and is one of the few men of the race, who has, without philanthropic aid made his way from ironance and superstition into the lime of prominence ad recognition by all races, without leaving his people. The Baptist Denomination, represented by two and a half million communications, has given him high honors and followed his lead for the past score of years.

NEGROES HELP WHITE Y. M. C.A.
NEGROES HELP WHITE Y. M. C.A.
HIGH PRAISE FROM CENTRAL BRANCH OF ACHIEVEMENT.
Report When Read Created Great Enthusiasm—Made at Luncheon In Maxwell House—Subscribed More Than $600.00—Business and Professional Men Subscribe—Board of Trade.
In the recent campaign for $85,000 for the white Y. M. C. A. Mr. N. W. Sanders, secretary of the Colored Eranch lead a campaign among the colored people for aid. Mr. Sanders and his helps were suprised with the hearty response colored men made and especially when it is considered that the colored have no Y. M. C. A. building. When the report was turned in to Mr. McGill, the secretary of the white Y. M. C. A. he made the following statement:
The part taken by the colored business men of Nashville in the Building Campaign for the Central Branch for the Young Men's Christian Association is a most remarkable achievement. Few things in connection with the reports during the Building Campaign created more enthusiasm or won more applause than the report which was made to the workers at the Maxwell House luncheon to the fact that the colored business men of Nashville had subscribed more than $600 for the Central Branch Y. M. C. A. building. One well-known business man remarked that this represented more in sacrifice in service than $60,000 from some other citizens. In view of the fact of the needs of the work of the Association for colored boys and young men and the meager resources at the command of the Colored Men's Branch it is a tremendous testimony to the public spirit of the colored men of Nashville that they should have on their own initiative made such a liberal contribution to the white Young Men's Christian Association building. The colored men's Board of Trade officially expressed their deep interest in the work in the campaign for the city's Y. M. C. A., and many of the parties of the colored men's Board of Trade made liberal contributions to the Y. M. C. A. building fund.
Too much cannot be said in praise for this manifestation for a community spirit on the part of the colored citizens of Nashville. There ought to come a time, and indeed there must come a time, when the white citizens of Nashville will show their appreciation and co-operation and their interest in the colored boys and young men of Nashville by making substantial provision for a building such as is so urgently needed for the Colored Men's Branch in our city.
PROFESSOR OF NORTH WESTERN UNIVERSITY AT MEHARRY Y. M.C.A.
The Meharry Y. M. C. A. was addressed on Sunday afternoon by Dr. Winfield S. Hall, Professor of Physiology at the North Western University, Chicago, Ill. The address was for men only, and the auditorium was filled with young men from Roger Williams, Fisk, Walden and Meharry. "The Sex Life of Man" was the subject chosen by the speaker, for every young man said he wants to know some things with regard to this important matter. Dr. Hall, in the course of his remarks, said that the lessons of manhood should be taught by the medical man of today to young men and boys with whom he comes in contact—such lessons which will help them in the development of a robust manhood. "It is the duty of every medical man to contribute something to the social life of this busy age, by impressing upon the minds of the young a few facts which will help them to develop brain, brawn and muscle." Dr. Hall's lecture was illustrated and it was filled with inspiration indeed: it was a treat to all present. After the lecture Dr. Hall, accompanied by Dr. G. W. Hubbard, visited the hospital, and it is very gratifying to note that he was favorably impressed with what he saw. The Freshman and Sophomore Classes, Medical and Dental, took their first examinations in anatomy and physiology last week. Seemingly most of them did credit to themselves.
The third annual clinic to be conducted by local medical and surgical talent will be held at the Hubbard Hospital beginning on Monday morning, December 1st, and lasting all through the week. There will be a variety of cases for operation, and many of the city physicians are expecting to be present. The clinic gives promise of being very interesting and beneficial to the students from every point of view. During the past week a number of patients upon whom major operations were performed by Drs. Hale and McMillan left the Hospital for their homes. All of them are unstinted in their gratitude for the kind treatment they received at the Hospital from the nurses during their illness.
HON. NAPIER FOR PRESIDENT
HON. NAPIER FOR PRESIDENT
CHOICE OF BOARD OF TRADE HEAD IT SEEMS.
Name Has Been Discussed For Some Time— Mentioned Before He Left Washington— His Stand Against Segregation Highly Wants to Show Appreciation—Scene of Duty.
As the time approaches for the annual election of the officers of the Board of Trade the members are casting around for a successor to the present incumbent, as the laws of the organization prohibit a president to succeed himself, several are being mentioned for the place, but the most talked-of prospective is the Hon. J. C. Napier, Ex-Register of the United States Treasury. Mr. Napier seems to be the general choice of all factions, and he should consent to accept the position; it is believed that he would be elected unanimously. Mr. Napier has always been very popular in his home city, but that popularity has been enhanced since he resigned from the position of Register of the Treasury rather than put in operation an order that would have segregated the colored employees in the Treasury Department. That action on the part of Mr. Napier is considered by the people as an heroic one in defense of the race, and his home people are desirous of showing in some tangible way their appreciation of the same.
The Board of Trade is the leading organization in the city, covering as it does every phase of the civic life activity of the people, and a strong man is always sought to fill the place. The Board was organized by the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, who was succeeded by Dr. C. H. Bandy, who has filled it most acceptably, and if the law did not prohibit his succeeding himself he would no doubt be re-elected
A great many duties evolve upon the Board of Trade, and none but a farseeing man can fill the place to the best advantage of all concerned. Mr Napier is, it seems, the man the people are willing to trust with this high duty. They know he stands for the highest ideals in citizenship, and never compromises on middle ground. He is conservative, yet progressive, and has for many years been a leader of the people in this city and state.
EX-SLAVE CONVENTION COMES TO A CLOSE.
The annual session of the National Ex-Slave Congressional Convention came to a close Friday night at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, when the President, Mr. Banks, Mr. D. A. Hart and the National Secretary, Mrs. Calkie House, and one of the charter members, Mr. Tidwell, of Pulaski, Tenn., were the principal speakers. The meeting was largely attended by ex-slaves, and the enthusiasm was kept at a high pitch by the speakers, who eulogized the ex-slaves and encouraged them to believe that some day it was the hope of many that they would realize what they have been striving for so many years. Mrs. House was able to tell muhk about her labors in Washington in the interest of the members of the organization. She told of her conferences with the leading Senators and Congressmen and of the words of encouragement they had given her. She said she believes that in a few years, or probably a few months the ex-slaves will get their pensions.
The meeting has been well attended all through the session, and the loyalty of the delegates was admirable.
EXPLANATION OF THE STAR THE
ATRE AFFAIR.
The news article which appeared in the Nashville Globe of November 21st, relative to an affair which we occurred at the Star Moving Picture Theatre, and the remarks attributed to Mr. Starr about the colored people by E. E. Rice are absolutely false and without foundation.
We saw fit to discharge E. E. Rice, who was an operator in our place as he neglected his duty and we found him incompetent. He then in a spirit of revenge and spite expressed himself that he would put us out of business, and the result was he reported an affair to the Nashville Globe, the greater part of which he made up himself.
No such remarks could possibly come from this source, as the life of our business depends upon the patronage of the colored people, and every nickle counts. We did forcibly elect a large boy in long pants who seemed to think our place of business and the colored people's place of entertainment was some back alley and that he could just pick a fight and rough it out in our show at any time he pleased. We will preserve order, and those who are looking for a good clean show in a clean house, free from roughs who want to fight; free from anything that's vulgar, or improper, will find it in our place and as we advertise. We appreciate your patronage.

CONSENTS TO INTERVIEW BY GLOBE REPRESENTATIVE.
Facts Brought Out Not Generally Known----Matter au Aggrevating One----Bishops had Endeavored to Settle Differences
[Name not visible]
RT. REV. EVANS TYREE, D. D., LL. D., Bishop of the First Episcopal District of the African Methodist Church.
Harmony Plan Settled Upon But Not Kept—Minutes of Two Meetings Quoted Wright Wants Money —Committee of Bishops Object—Legal Opinion on Rights of Board.
Rt. Rev. E. Tyree, of this city, Bishop of the First Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, reached home last week to spend a few days with his family and to take a much-deserved rest after a hard camp in his District in the interest of the educational work and the work of his Church generally. He showed the strains of the arduous tasks he had undergone, but was nevertheless deeply interested in the affairs of his Church. A Globe representative called to see the Bishop at his home on North Hill street, and asked for an interview concerning the recent dismissal of the Man-
RT. REV. EVANS
Bishop of the First Episcopal D
ager and Editor of the Book Coercion and the Christian Recorder by the Board in Philadelphia. Bishop Tyre was reluctant to discuss the matter, but when pressed for a statement he consented.
His attention was called to the fact that the people of this section were very anxious to have an expression from him about the matter, as so much was being said pro and con as to the right of the Board to dismiss the General Officers from the positions they held; to this the Bishop said:
I have been quiet all along, because I knew a great str would follow the action of our Board, and decided to wait until such time as I thought the passion which it would excite had time to pass off a little. Everybody says it is a precedent altogether new, and many regard it as dangerous, but a crisis had come, when it appeared that not only the safety of the institution was in danger, but a human life; for such words were being passed between Editor and Manager, both oral and written, sufficient to excite either one or the other to some desperate act. For weeks these men would pass through the building without speaking, so it was reported by those in position to know. If one owed the other a debt and was called upon to settle it, it would result in a war of words, accompanied by threats, which reached the climax in an editorial published in the Christian Recorder in the issue of October 9, 1913 which follows:
Another of Manager Lowe's Falsehood
If the Recorder did not have but one editor this painful duty would not be necessary. Editor (?) Lowe, in his editorial section of the Recorder, set up contrary to law, and in defise, says that money for subscriptions from the Puget Sound Conference was
No. 49.
sent to Editor Wright, and not reported to him Editor (2) Manager Lowe
ed to him Editor (?) Manager Lowe. It is strange that Manager Lowe, who sees Editor Wright nearly every day, has never mentioned this to Editor Wright, but seeks the unlawful use of the Recorder to make a statement, which he clandestinely puts in the paper without letting the editor see either manuscript or proof.
I desire to say, however, that it is a malicious falsehood; that I did report in full to Lowe more than a month ago, and have written documents to prove it.
I can only account for Lowe's action on the theory that he was in one of his drunken debauches, such as has disgraced the Book Concern since he has been manager; for it is common talk that he has been picked up off the street by the policeman and lodged in the police station on account of his drunkenness. When in this state he is liable to write and say anything. A liar and a drunkard are an abomination.
TYREE, D. D., LL. D.,
District of the African Methodist
Church.
The further disgrace is that the Bishops of our church would allow such a condition to continue.
In the future I shall not bemirch myself to answer his drunken reporting.
R. R. WRIGHT, JR.
It Reached Its Climax
The publication of that article communications came thick and fast, asking that an investigation be had as to the truthfulness of the article referred to; the Editor himself being among those making such requests. Accordingly such a meeting was called for October 28th, 1913, with the results which are being so elaborately discussed. A majority of the Board believing that agreement could never be had between the two men, and that one was just as stubborn and unreasonable as the other, decided to take the action the minutes of that meeting show. The minutes which are short follow:
Minutes of the Publication Board of the A. M. E. Church, in a meeting held in Allen Hall, 631 Pine street, Philadelphia, Penn., October 28th, 1913, as taken by the Bishop's private Secretary, Rev. J. C. Beckett.
The meeting was called to order by the President, Bishop Tyree. After singing, prayer was offered by Rev. R. H. Bunry.
Members present: Bishop Evans Tyree, Rev. R. D. Downs, Secretary; Revs. W. H. Davis, R. H. Bumry, C. H. Stephan, Messrs. W. P. Hall, W. A. Sinclair, W. Foster.
Resolutions offered by Rev. R. R. Downs were adopted; one in regard to the Manager of the Book Concern and the handling of S. S. Literature, and another referring to the S. S. Union and the matter of publishing hymn books and disciplines, both re

This order was or organized 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 Haiti Million Dollars.
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:
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 grew older, instead of decreasing, our Endowment surplus is growing, as the following will show:
A LESSON IN FIGURES
RATES PER YEAR AND BENEFITS

lows: Should death occur during the
first twelve calendar months. $100;
after the first twenty-four calendar

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 orizakers, under extension plan, to set up local lodges for the price of the charter see 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.
we are anxious to secure organizers in every section of Tennessee. This offer will not remain open indefinitely, and you had better write today for terms.

Turner, presiding elder, was a success though the weather was very unfavorable for the people generally to attend church that Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elliot are living at Richard City now. Mr. Elliot is succeeding in his line of business and Mrs. Elliot is light housekeeping. Mrs. Minnie Robinson was taken to Tullahoma again one day last week.

The pupils of the Ft. Cooper Training School made a nice showing in their Thanksgiving services. Prof. H. D. Tilbert, the teacher at Garner's Hill, attended and made an interesting talk on Thanksgiving. Prof. W. S. Walker, the principal of Ft. Cooper School, and his assistant, Miss Annie L. Frierson, have planned for an interesting program to be rendered at the closing of this school term, December the 19th. Many visitors from Centerville and other adjacent neighborhood would be glad to see Health, generally speaking, is good at this place. Mr. Mark Tarkington has closed a great wood hauling contract with the Little Lot Flour Mill & Co. It is expected that he will employ several wagons and teams to carry on the work. Citizens of this neighborhood would be gald to see hog-killing weather again, for they are being killed of eating the last year's bacon. Prof. H. D. Gilbert was the guest of Miss Mary L.

‘The Bishop Tyree Interview.
‘We call the attention of our read.
ers to an interview from Bishop. B.
‘Tyree, the resident bishop of the A.
M. B. Chureh, who was chairman of
the Board that dismissed the Manager
and Editor of the A. M. E. Book Con:
cern, in Philadelphia, Penn, When
the news was heralded broadcast that
the Board of Trustees of that instl-
tution had taken the step referred to
above, the friends of Bishop Tyres,
in this section of the country particu:
arly, were much concerned atuut
the matter, and they became more s)
as time passed and the affair was
discussed in the public press. So as
soon as Bishop Tyree reached the
city a representative of the Globe
called and asked him for an inter.
view, at the same time impressing
him with the anxiety of his friends
for an expression from him, In te-
sponse to this demand the interview
which appears on another page was
given.
By a careful perusal of the facts
given out by Bishop Tyree, it will be
seenvat a glance that the statements
madé by_oné of the principals in that
conizoversy...are misteading, and. do
an injustice to» asman whose charac:
ter and reputation have alWay8"been
of thé very highest standard in this
community, Since he has been on
the Bench of the A, M. E, Chureh,
Bishop ‘Tyree has never been known
to take any part In church controver-
sles, He has slways taken a firm
stand for the right, and has coun:
selled the ministers under him to live
in peace, and to work for the up:
building of the Kingdom of Heaven
among men, The people of Nashyiile
and Tennessee could not believe trat
he had done anything, officially or
otherwise, in this case that was dis-
honorable or unmanly, and they re-
sent any attack made upon his repu:
tation, It will be gratifying to the
friends of Bishop Tyree throughout
the nation to learn that In this case,
which he says many in his Church
consider dangerous, the Board has, ac:
cording to the opinion of one of the
leading law firms in the State of
Pennsylvania, not only kept withlu
the bounds of the law, but within the
“margin of safety.” The opinton re
ferred to says that the Board of
‘Trustees only could move the Man
ager and Editor of the Book Concern
‘and according to the laws of Pennsyl
yania the General Conference, when
it assembles, cannot revoke thet” ac
tions,
Presiednt's Message.
‘The first regular message of Presi-
dent Wilson to the Sixty-Third Con-
gress will be a disappointment to the
majority of the millions of Negroes in
this country, The message, ax a
whole, is very brief, and is nothing
more than a school master's essay.
It touches upon the subjects of Unt
versal Peace, the Mexican Trouble,
the Banking and Currency, the
World of Business, Selecting Presi.
dential Nominees, Territorial Oblixa
tions and the Bureau of Mines. Vers
little that fs definite is found in tue
message, It deals principally in gen
eralities, but offers no solution fo
‘the problems that are to be grapple‘
with by the nation. Congress is giv
en to understand, however, that they
may expect messages constantly, and
maybe 1n these documents that are ts
be read periodically the President
will take some positive stand on
some questions.
‘The Negroes of this country had ex
pected that the President in his fira
tegular mestage would take som:
definite stand on the race question
‘but he has given this subject a wid
birth; completely ignoring over tea
millon people who, though citizens
of the nation, are designated and
specifically legislated for.
If the nation, of in other words, if
the dominant people of the nation
treated the black people as they do
other peoples In this nation, there
would be no need for special mention
of them by a message of the chief
executive. But stich ts not the case;
all of the discriminatory laws that
are passed In this country are passed
with a view to circumscribing the
rights and privileges of the Neg79
people; these laws ate numerous, A
majority of the states of the nation
have some kind of enactments touctt
Ing upon the Negro’s case. And
whon the President entirely ignores
such a condition he ts not fuldlling
his obligation to all of the people.
The message, as a whole, is a very
tame document and, if the program as
utlined by the President is followed,
the Negroes of this country will havo
to look to other sources for consid-
eration of their cause,

COMMUNICATION.
To the Nashville Globe:
This letter is written to call atten-
tion of the Negro population of Nash
ville to the needed Improvements of
their public schools.
The parents ond teachers of the
various schools of the city are organ-
izing into associations to aid their in-
dividual school neighborhoods, and it
is hoped that all of our parents and
friends of education will Join. these
assoclations and work for the better-
ment of the schools. Most of the
buildings in our city are badly in need
‘of improvement to bring them up to
anything Iike the requirements of
modern public school work,
Asheraft, Carter, Clifton, Knowles
and Lawrence buildings should be re-
placed by new structures, Heating,
ventilating and drinking fountains are
needed in all buildings. In fact,
Nashville has not one modern school
‘building for Negroes. You will see
from the Public School Budget, print-
led in the Tennessean of November 29,
that approximately $200,000 is asked
for for the improvement of the white
‘schools and only $4,000 for the col-
ored, the colored children forming
fully one-fourth of the school enroll-
|ment.
| We do not believe that tt ts alto
gether negligence on the part of the
Board of Education as regards the
colored schools, but negligence on
the part of our citizens to inform
|them'of our needs. ‘The teachers and
principals are concerned as never bp-
|fore, and are willing to meet — the
citizens In-any Tespeetful manner tc
better these conditions, I will not

from the minutes of that meeting:
The Manager's attention was then
invited to the rumors affecting his
character as a minister of the church
to the effect that he had been seen
drunk in and out of the office, and
that he had even been arrested for
drunkenness at one time, He denied
positively that he had ever _ been
drunk or arrested for It. He stated,
however, that perhaps the rumor
that he had been arrested for drunk-
enness was due to the fact that some
time last March while out attending
to some official business he was at
‘tacked with vertigo and was taken to
the hospital. When questioned moré

TO A TIE.
Special to the Globe.
Pulaski, Tenn., Dec. 1.—The Pulaski
High School and the Broadview
School played to a tie Thanksgiving
Day. Broadview outweighed the P. H. S. boys about 12 pounds to the man. Broadview won the toss up and kicked off to P. H. S. The game was interesting from the beginning to the end. The P. H. S. boys carried the ball near the 10 yard line at one time and the 15 yard line at another. Broadview never was closer than the 20 yard line.
Broadview succeeded in two passes but the receiver was downed in his tracks. The principal ground gainer for P. H. S. was end runs made by Fagen and Black more than once did Black skirt Broadview's end for long gains.
When the game ended the ball was in P. H. S.'s possession on Broadview's 15 yard line. The whistle blew when the quarterback was about to pass to

launched at the residence of Mrs
Cornelia Price, the president of one
of the classes of Mt. Olive Baptist

It is expected that four hundred Me

NEW RULES FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT
Change of Detail Will Be Effected
Quarterly in Future-Regulations
by Howse-Acceptance of Free
Meals from Hotels or Restaurants

Mayor Hilary E. Howse has prepared a new set of rules for the government of the police and detective departments of the city. At variance with a rule or custom which has heretofore been followed, the first of the new rules requires that a change of the details of the police force shall be effected quarterly, instead of at intervals of sixty days.
The new rules, copies of which will be framed and placed at the headquarters of the police and detective departments, are as follows:

No patrolman will be retained in the service who practices drinking intoxicating liquors while on duty. No member of the department will be permitted to smoke while on duty. Patrolmen will not be allowed to engage in extended and unnecessary conversation with citizens, which might detract their attention from their duties. No member of the department will be allowed to loiter around houses of ill fame or other disorderly houses while on duty. No member of the department will be retained in the service who willfully refuses to pay his honest debts, and no subterfuge in escaping the payment of debts will be permitted. No member of the department will be allowed to ask for or accept free meals from hotels, restaurants or other places.

Dr. A. D. Hurt, Superintendent-Elect of Missions or the Tennessee Baptist State Convention, sprang an enjoyable surprise on the Baptist Ministers' Alliance, of Nashville, at the close of their meeting Monday morning. In his usually modest manner he invited the members to adjourn to the new State Missions Headquarters on the second floor of the Administration Building of the National Baptist

After the brethren had somewhat recovered from their surprise, Dr. Hurt informed them that this was his way of saying to them that he was ready to enter upon the duties of the office of Superintendent of State Missions as their fellow servant, and requested that Dr. Wm Haynes, President of the Ministers Alliance, act as master of ceremonies Dr. Haynes accepted in a graceful speech and proceeded to introduce Dr C.

MRS. A. D. HURT.
Clark complimented the large number of ministers present to welcome Dr. Hurt back into the Tennessee State Mission Field as its Field Marshal, referring to him as the large-hearted man who could come back into the position with the best of feeling for all of the brethren, even though some of them had had occasion to differ with him when he was before in the same harness.

Dr. T. L. Ballou was next introduced. He hoped that the expressions he activities in and out of the state of delight upon the faces of the brethren, together with their general private remarks of congratulations, bespoke their future active and sympathetic co-operation in the great work of state missions.
Dr. W. S. Ellington said it was just like Dr. Hurt to do the unusual thing—a thing unique. He reminded the brethren that the Superintendent of Missions was of that class of hefolic men who have adopted the motto, "We do things." He felt that the host of the occasion had set the brethren a good example of the brotherhood spirit.
The next speaker, Rev. R. W. Christian, felt deeply that Dr. Hurt is among us "as one who serves," exclaiming that his fellowship spirit was fully shown by the occasion.
Dr. R. H. Boyd congratulated the brethren upon the beautiful spirit that opened the "new era" in the mission work of the state. He assured them in behalf of the National Baptist Home Mission Board that the Tennessee Baptist Convention would have the same co-operation both in spirit and finance that it has had in the past.
Dr. A. M. Townsend, President of Roger Williams University, and Mrs. Mary Flowers, of the Fireside School, followed in brief congratulatory remarks, Dr. and Mrs. Hurt made happy and feeling responses.
The speeches over, Mrs. Hurt, assisted by Miss L. U. Chambers, served ice cream and cake. Thus closed one of the most pleasing courtesies on the part of one of our Convention officials that it has been our pleasure to observe.

INTENSIVE VS. EXTENSIVE FARMING.
By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner of Agriculture
There appears to be a question in the minds of some people as to whether intensive or extensive farming is better for the individual farmer, the community and the country at large. By intensive farming is meant taking a few acres and by thorough preparation and cultivation of soil produce larger crops and more than one crop per year on the same land. By extensive farming is meant cultivating a large number of acres with a smaller working force, which necessarily means less thorough preparation of the soil and cultivation of crops and less of the trucking crops. Many of the people of Tennessee have been trying the extensive system with the result of washed and run-down land, unprofitable crops, with less reward for their labor each succeeding year.
The experience of so many ought to convince us that the extensive system of farming in Tennessee is not what we want. By farming on the intensive plan we are simply developing the soil to nearer the extent of its possibility for development, and no system of farming is going to succeed that does not plan to return plant food to the soil in some form to replace that taken out in the growing of crops
Now, I think it would be better for the farmers of Tennessee to cultivate fewer acres per laborer and cultivate them better, with a very few exceptions. Comparatively speaking, we have been scratching the soil, doing the things that would cause it to lose more plant food from the washing rains than from the crops grown on the land. This can be prevented by deep plowing and turning under vegetable matter and, in doing that making available plant food now lying dormant and unavailable in the hardpan and subsoil that should be available for growing crops.
The truck farmer is generally near some town or city where he can buy barnyard manure to keep up the supply of humus and plant food in his soil. He naturally does not require a large acreage.
The general farmer and live stock raiser requires more land that he may have pasture, meadows for hay, and fields for his corn, wheat, oats, never been too cold or too much out of the way for you to come to my rescue whether it be day or night you have proven to me a true Sir Knight, and a true brother, of Knights of Tabor.
They have come to my home at the lonely hours of mid-night to fill my wants. I want to say to the young men of Nashville join us you will not make any mistake.

RESULTS OF BOYS' CORN CLUB.
The results obtained in operating Corn Clubs for 1911-12 indicates the Tallapoosa County Colored Boys' kind of improvement which should come to every farmers' corn club. Thirty-eight school boys, eighteen years old and under, joined the corn club in 1912. Of this number fourteen stayed in the contest to the end. On fourteen acres of land an aggregate of 636 bushels were produced. The winner of the first prize made 97 bushels, 23 lbs, of corn to the acre. The second prize winner made 69 bushels, 2 lbs, to the acre; and the third 68 bushels 68 lbs. The prizes were, respectively, $8, $10, and $5. Of the $36 in prizes, $20 were subscribed and paid by white people.
The results of last year's corn contest had some other good effects. The corn club membership at once increased to fifty boys, who were willing to pay a membership fee of 50 cents each towards buying their own prizes. The new members are, as a rule a younger class of boys The fathers and mothers are intensely interested in the results obtained by their sons. The best expression of the good effect of this movement was made by a faer whose son made fifty bushels to an acre but did not win a prize. He said "My boy did not get a prize but I will not have to do every year year as I have had to do every year before."-Southern Workman.

AMENDED.
The Young Men's Lyceum of Walden University ratified the new amendment to their constitution and by-laws last Saturday evening at their regular meeting, when Mr. John Welsh, a student of Meharry Medical College, formerly of Howard University, delivered to them their first monthly lecture. His subject was "The Three Classes of Mankind." He appealed to them not to allow them selves to become a member of the first class, who forever answer to the call of duty, "I can't," for they found themselves to be a failure in life, neither to join the second class who responds to duty, "I think I can," for they often would be found wandering in the path of their formal brothers takings of life rather than success, and meeting failures in their under-But to be ever up and ready to face

WHERE SOME NEGRO COUNTRY CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL.
My main purpose in visiting Francis County, Miss., was to see typical Negro schoolhouse, and my intention, if I should write any report of my visit, was to describe the types. But I give it up. I wish my readers could see, for example, a certain Negro schoolhouse in this county. It is a public schoolhouse, though the public funds made no contribution. It was built by the poor people themselves, without knowledge of carpentry, except of the rudest kind. The result is pitiful. What better could be expected? I thought to take a photograph of this school house, but I knew that a photograph would give no true idea. It would demand an art above photography to give any just conception of that structure, wherein nothing fitted, nothing was of proper length or width. You could easily parody Dickens and say,
And you couldn't see that any thing
Was what it ought to be
The appearance was as if so many
rough boards and shingles of various
lengths and widths, had been jostled
together and had somehow happened
to fall in that way. Yet in such a
building, in a state which can build
a million-dollar capitol, and in a nation
which can spend ten millions on
battleship, seventy-odd little human
children go to get what they can of
education.

THE CENTRAL OKLAHOMA CONFERENCE OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH MEETS—RT. REV. W. D. CHAPPELLE PRESIDING—BISHOP H. M. TURNER PRESENT
Special to the Globe.
Atoka, Okla., Nov. 17.—After a generation the return of the annual conference of the A. M. D. Church to this place was nailed with great delight. This is the birthplace of Methodism in this state. The first conference was held by Bishop H. M. Turner and the "Grand Old Man" was the guest of Bishop Chappelle at the conference just closed. Bishop Turner beheld a changed condition, a wilderness transformed into a city, a rude church house to a magnificent structure, with a large and ever-increasing membership; from tents and huts to homes of modern construction.
Welcome addresses were delivered by His Honor, Mayor C. M. Neal, Rev. A. R. Mitchell, pastor of the Baptist Church; Prof. I. B. McCutcheon, principal of the High School; Prf. John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the Church, responded to the welcomes.

our official conduct in accordance with the following terms:
1. The Manager recognizes the Editor's right to control all the literary matter of the Christian Recorder. The Editor agrees that the Manager may contribute to the Christian Recorder articles under the title of "Manager's Notes," which is agreed by both will advance the interest and well-being of the Publication Department. The manuscript of the Manager's Notes is to be turned over to the Editor, or with his approval, directly to the foreman, and the final proof is to be read by the Editor.
2. It is also agreed that in lieu of a weekly allowance for the maintenance of the editorial office, the Editor shall be allowed for such the income from advertising secured by himself to the amount of two hundred ($200) dollars, and that after the amount of two hundred ($200) dollars shall have been reached, an equitable adjustment for the balance will be made between the Editor and Manager.
3. It is agreed that both Editor and Manager will endeavor to co-operate for the best interest of the Department, consulting when necessary, for those things that tend toward building up a strong publication department in Philadelphia, and that they will hereafter keep their personal differences they may have out of the Christian Recorder.

Your committee entered into the merits of this agreement with Editor Wright and called his attention to the fact that there was no law nor precedent for his demand upon the Manager for funds to pay clerk hire in his office, and that a similar request made to the Bishop's Council had not been considered. The committee further made it plain to him that this agreement as drawn up put the Manager under obligation to pay his clerk before other employees and to the utter disregard of other claims which must be met by the Manager in the run of business. The Editor's attention was directed also to the fact that the Concern was in debt, and much of said debt was not even being taken into account and that instead of adding burden upon the Concern the committee was of the opinion that the Editor should give his entire time to the duties of his office and do what clerical work there was to be done.
Dr. Lowe was called back and was told likewise this opinion of the committee, touching the merits of the agreement.
Aside from the money consideration in the agreement the committee expressed its satisfaction that those two brethren were going to give the church some relief from a discussion in our chief organ which had brought to us no good as a religious body.
I have said to you that there was a request that we have an investigat- ing committee, and that we have had,

and no hint was made of trial. We simply met there to investigate the business of that institution and the behavior of those conducting it, and after spending from ten o'clock till up in the afternoon and from about four o'clock until sometime up in the night, possibly about ten o'clock, a majority of the committee decided that it owed it to the Church to attempt to restore peace there by declaring both chairs vacant, the term 'Incapable' signifies. There were grounds for trial which nobody can deny, but we do deny that it is necessary to try one who is in your employ before you dismiss him, if you are tired of his course of action. It all being over, the storm of criticism began at once which we knew would follow, I took the discipline of our church to one of the best law firms in Pennsylvania and asked them for an opinion as to the Board's right to declare the chairs of the Manager and Editor vacant, leaving the minutes of the Bishop's Investigating Committee on August 12th and 13th, 1913, the editorial of October 9, 1913, and such like paper with them. Their answer follows and here endeth the matter for the time being.

Nov. 19th, 1913.
Rt. Rev. Evans Tyree, D.D., Presiding
Bishop, First Episcopal District A.
M. E. Church, 1910 Dickinson
Street, Philadelphia:
Dear Sir:
Yesterday morning Doctors Stansbury and Davis, and Mr. Beckitt, who we understand is your Secretary, called upon us in compliance with your request, to furnish us information with reference to The Book Concern.
From the information given to us by them it appears that the Book Concern was chartered by a special Act of the Legislature about the year 1855. By your Book of Discipline the management of the Book Concern is vested in seven Trustees, (should read nine), who absolutely control the management of its affairs. You, as the Bishop of the First Episcopal District are ex-officio head of the corporation. From an examination of the Book of Discipline, and from what we are told as to the charter, which was not shown to us, it appears, however that neither the General Conference nor the Bench of Bishops has any right to authority over the Book Concern, which is a corporation whose management is intrusted to the Trustees.
The question upon which you have asked our opinion is as to the legal right of the Trustees to declare vacant the positions of Manager and Editor of the Book Concern. The first of these positions is held by Rev. J. L. Lowe the second by R. R. Wright.
It appears further that in May or June last, charges were made against the Manager of drunkenness or other misconduct bringing scandal on the Church. As a result of these charges a committee of the Bench of Bishops
come to Philadelphia and held a meeting at which the Manager was heard. At that meeting the Editor appeared and testified that he had no knowledge of the truth of the charges and had no information to give to the committee of Bishops. The employees of the Book Concern were also heard and each denied having any personal knowledge upon the subject. A record from one of the city police stations was produced showing the arrest of the Manager for drunkenness but he denied the truth of the charge claiming that he had an attack of vertigo, which the police mistook for intoxication. In view of this showing and in view of the fact that the Manager and Editor informed the Committee that they had patched up their differences and had agreed to get along harmoniously in the future, no action was taken by the committee, upon the charges against the Manager, and the matter was left apparently undisposed of so far as the Bishops were concerned.
Some weeks later the Manager and the Editor having renewed their differences the Editor, without consulting any of the Bishops, and without consulting you, chairman of the Board of Trustees, saw fit to publish in the Christian Recorder, the church paper, over his own signature, an editorial in which he not only charged the Manager of the Book Concern with "drunken debauches" but also reflected upon the Bench of Bishops, in fact charging them with having permitted the condition to continue after having knowledge of it.
Following this publication a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Book Concern was had and the positions of both Manager and Editor were declared vacant, sixty days being given each to wind up his business before leaving.
We further understand that the Manager is willing to retire without a contest, but that the Editor has not only threatened to carry the matter to the Bench of Bishops, but also is continuing his discussion of the matter and of his grievances in the columns of the Church paper.
It is our opinion that it is not only the right, but the duty of the Trustees to instantly discharge each of these persons. Both of them are ministers of the Gospel. One of them has been accused of drunkenness, and the evidence aganst him is the record of the police court of the city who arrested him. Such conduct is sufficient to bring discredit upon the Book Concern, and as an employee of the Book Concern it was his duty not to do anything which would discredit or disgrace the organization with which he was connected.
So far as the Editor is concerned, he has been guilty of two very serious offenses. Leaving entirely out of the question the consideration of whether he told the truth when he denied knowledge of the delinquencies of the Manager, and confining ourselves entirely to what is undoubted, he violated the requirements of the Book of Discipline when he made an attack in the public print upon a fellow minister in any such terms as were found in his editorial of October 9th, 1913.
1914 In addition to this when he made an attack in the church paper upon the Bishops of the church, charging them with condoning or concealing the Mtnager's conduct or permitting it to continue knowingly, he certainly did not do as is required of a faithful employee, and in our opinion not only merited, but should have been given a discharge without notice.
If he does not cease his discussion of the matter in the public print pending the reporting of the case to the Bench of Bishops, he ought to be told that his sixty days' notice is cancelled and that his services are dispensed with at once. It certainly is not proper to allow him to take sixty days' time to ferment all the trouble he can in the Church. In our opinion the power of discharge is vested in the Trustees, as is also the power of appointing his successor.
successor.
The Book of Discipline says that in the event of a vacancy in either position, the Manager or Editor shall be nominated or appointed by the Presiding Bishop of the First Episcopal District, with the co-operation or consultation of two other members of the Episcopal Bench, but it further requires that the persons nominated by the three Bishops must be elected by the Trustees. If the Trustees refuse to elect, the Bishops have no power to impose their choice upon the Trustees, at least so far as we can find from an examination of the Discipline. We are very clear that neither the Bishops nor the General Conference have any right in this case to impose upon the Trustees the necessity of keeping the present Manager or Editor longer in their employ.
