Nashville Globe

The Sunday School Congress Meets In Nashville June 13 to 18, 1917 NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOLUME XII. DEPOSITIONS TAKEN ALL WEEK Incorporationists Suspend-- Both Sides Putting Up Fight--Will be Long Drawn Out Suit Taking of depositions for the complainants in the celebrated law suit began in Nashville last Wednesday morning. It is the controversy between two factions of Baptists. One faction so it is learned is represented in the main by Rev. E. C. Morris, of Heuena, Ark., while the other is represented by Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D. of Vicksburg, Miss. While not much information could be obtained as to what really transpired during the past week, it became known that any number of out of town witnesses had come here and that the taking of depositions took place in the law offices of Mr. Norman Farrar, Jr., in the Noel Block, who is the attorney for the Morris Faction. Mr. John Belle Keeble represents the ones Faction. While this is admitted to be true, it is also admitted that the principal facts or line of battle, whichever the Baptist brethren choose to call K, is the National Baptist Publishing board plant. There is an effort for recording to the opinion of the principal Baptists, to oust the one who with his board during the past twenty years has succeeded in building up a magnificent business institution which employs scores of Nestroes and who occupies what is regarded as the largest printing plant owned, operated and controlled by Negroes in the world. And as a result of this, the friends of the National Baptist Publishing Board are saying that many of those who have joined in with the Morris faction of the Convention have a deep laid scheme to take charge of the plant and to put the present board out. While it is claimed by the board now in control on the other land, they have operated the plant in conformity with the wishes of the Baptist Churches and Sunday Schools who have supported and maintained the plant all these years. They claim it is a Baptist printing institution and they have vioated no rules and regulations of the Negro Baptists. One of the Baptist pretense stated this week that the opposition to the National Baptist Publishing House had changed their contentions." When they first came from Chicago after the spirit they accused Dr. Boyd of having stolen the Publishing House, but when this was proven to be false and after the deeds were exhibited and shown to be properly recorded showing inconvenient that Dr. Boyd be innocent, they changed their equations." Whatever may be the out come, it is said that the law suit will at least take six months before a final decision can be reached. Among those who were here of the Morris Faction this past week were Revs. E. C. Morris, of Helena Ark; S. E. Grigg, of Memphis Tenn.; J. R. Bennett, of Chester Pa; P. James Bryant, of Atlanta Ark; J. E. Knox, of Dallas, Tex.; L. K. Williams, of Chicago, II.; T. O. Farrish, of Louisville, Ky.; T. O. Farrish, of Memphis, Tenn.; K. W. I was learned that not all of these testified. At any rate, it was state that the incorporated side did not finish their depositions; that they would complete them at a date, after which the unincorporate convention, or rather that side of the National Baptists who favor Dr. R. H. Boyd and his board, or rather command them for the great work they have done, will begin taking their proofs, within the next thirty days, after which the Chancer Court will decide the matter. FIRST BAPSTIST CHURCH, EAST NASHVILLE "A house of prayer, or a den of thieves." will be the subject of Rev. W. S. Ellington's discourse Sunday morning. The work of remodeling, painting and decorating the main auditorium, of the church is near completion. The reopening is set for the second Sunday in February, there will be special services all day. A number of the leading ministers of the city will take part in the celebration. LEADING STAR CIRCLE. The Leading Star Circle met at the home of Rev. and Mrs. John Irving Jan. 16, 1917.

Wingfield, Reporter. NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY--THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. STOCKHOLDERS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 18: The annual meeting of the stock holders of Standard Life Insurance Company, which was held at the time Office of the Company today and was pronounced one of the most interesting and inspiring meetings of the kind ever held in Atlanta. Stockholders were present from several states; representing 740 shares of the companies stock and with a large representation by proxy. Reports of officers showed the largest year's business in the history of the company. The company operates in ine states, has an agency force of 171 high-class men and wrote more than Two Million Dollars worth of business during the year. The total income received was $152,205.66. After paying all taxes, the working expenses of all the company show the handsome saving of $67,400.50 over and above all disbursements, the total disbursements being $84,905.07. The substantial growth is evidenced by the fact that the total net assets increased from $159,158.61 in 1916, to $247,410.34 at the end of 1916. Two very remarkable facts brought out in the reports were the low death rate and the low rate of lapse. Contrary to the general opinion, it appears that from the mortality experience of this company, colored folks do not die any faster than other folks. The death rate is only 72.73 per cent of the expected and the lapses were only 33 per cent of the new business written. The average lapse for most companies is 50 per cent and the opinion prevails that all colored business lapses faster. The directors of the company thrilled a loan of $60,000 at the Colored Masonic Temple at Jacksonville, Florida, which is a building similar to the Old Fellows building of this city, in order to save the property from foreclosure proceedings which would result in its being lost to the race. The company expects that a large business will come from the state on account of the gratitude of the people for the saving of this building. Another evidence of the substantial growth of this Quarter Million Dollar Company was the recommendation by the stockholders that the board of directors begin at once negotiations looking to the erection of a Home Office building for the company. The present quarters have been outgrown for some time on account of the rapidly increasing business of the company and on account of the great demand for space in the Old Fellows building it has thus far been unable to secure more room there. The outlook for 1917 is for a record breaking business. The slogan is "Ten Million Paid For," and from the way January has begun the expectation seems capable of realization. Officers, directors, stockholders and policyholders all deserve commendation and congratulation for their connection with this lusty young giant which built as it is on a legal reserve foundation, has become in so short a time the strongest financial institution of the. All old directors and officers were re-elected for the ensuing year. The following financial statement of Income and Disbursements and of Assets and Libilities was made by the Secretary-Treasurer: INCOME First ear premiums ..... $59,083.71 Renewal premiums ..... 55,408.91 Interest on bonds ..... 4,772.63 Interest on premium notes and Policy Loans ..... 314.65 Interest on Mortgages ..... 591.56 Interest on Deposits ..... 491.83 Interest on Bill's Receivable ..... 79.7 Discount on Bills Paid in Advance ..... 22.86 Stock Notes ..... 16,734.97 Surplus on sale of Stock ..... 14,503.46 DISBURSEMENTS.

It is with pleasure that we submit the facts from our annual statement which shows the present splendid condition of the Company, and gives a brief record of its transactions for the year. This statement and record should be very gratifying to every Stockholder and every Policyholder and is worth your careful study. Aside from the bare facts revealed, it tells of the loyal devotion to the Company on the part of every one connected with it. It is not out of place just here to refer to one thing in our prospectus of 1911, which stated that the Standard Life was designed to be "A National organization which shall be the stamest and among the most expressive expression of real confidence in the future development of the Company. The record of the fourth year is but a continuation of successes to that end. The five cardinal points in an insurance company's annual statement are: In come and Disbursements, Assets and Liabilities, and Insurance in Force. The excess of income over Disbursements is the safety valve of an insurance REV. O. DUR- RET DIES REV. O. DUR- RET DIES WELL KNOWN KEN- TUCKY PASTOR First Baptist Church, of Hick man, Mourns--Funeral Service Held Wednesday-- Dr. Clark Present Hickman, Ky., Jan. 22nd:— Hickman, Ky., Jan. 22nd:—This city was shocked yesterday by the death of Rev. O. Durrett, who passed away after a brief illness Rev. Durrett was the pastor of the First Baptist Church, the largest congregation of this city, and was a prominent figure in Baptists affairs of the state. Arrangements for his funeral, which is to take place Wednesday, are being made. A number of the preachers of Kentucky and Tennessee were notified by wire. A telegram was received in Nashville Monday morning from Rev. A. Samuels announcing the death of Rev. O. Durrett. The Missionary Baptist State Convention of Tennessee and the National Baptist Publishing Board were represented at the funeral by Rev. C. H. Clark, who was a life-long acquaintance of Rev Durrett. It was learned here after Dr. Clark left the city that he and the Rev. Durrett received their degree as Doctor of Divinity on the same day from the same platform Dr. Clark being a native Kentuckian Dr. Durrett was 64 years and 72 days old. He was buried by the Knights of the Guiding Star of the East. Rev. I. N. Smith of Wyclif Ky., was master of cermones, Revs solutions were read from nearly all of the associations and conventions throughout the state. Brethren representing all phases of the denomination were present. Dr. C. H. Clark, of Nashville, Tenn., delivered the funeral oration and closing remarks were made by Dr. W. H.

I. Weston. I know not why, I can not tell why thoughts and feeling known in other days rush over me with a wild inspection swell, fooding my spirit life with struggling tears. It is with a deft of gladness mingled with sadness that I as the representative of the Busy Bee Cub, try to speaks of some of the noble virtues of one loving and devoted pastor. First be it. Resolved that since the All-wise Creator has seen fit to remove from our midst our loving and devoted pastor, that the Busy Tee Club along with a host of others bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well. Secondly be it, Resolved. That under the guidance and encouragement of Rev. O. Durrett, that the club has reached the heights it has, both mentally, morally and financially. We not only found him a man of true worth with sterling qualities, but a man of unselfishness in dealing not only with the club but with everybody with whom he came in contact. He was agreeable, had an amiable disposition and was willing to lend a hand with any work at hand and was unselfish in placing merit and giving unstinted praise to those who deserved it. Dr. O. Durret, was a man of strong convictions and was not afraid to let the world know where the stood on any important issue While he endeavored to rally the financial support of the church he was more inclined to the spiritual side This was so well shown just before his 16th pastoral anniversary held in November last, when he was preparing to raise funds during this celebration. He was so intent on the saving of souls in the coming revival which was to follow the anniversary programmes He was a man that felt the need of every department of church work and lent his support and encouragement to all the departments and organizations in the church He was for progressive advancement in civic affairs He urged the necessity of Negroes uniting themselves for their common good, for Negroes to patronize Negro enterprises, he preached it not only from the pulpit, but practiced it in his daily life. He supported Negro institutions. Dr. O. Durret was grateful for any assistance and kindness shown the (Continued on page 8.) AUXILIARY TO BE ORGANIZED FOR Y.M.C.A. The women's meeting next Monday night is looming up as one of the big attractions of the Y. M. C. Association. At the meeting last Sunday to which ladies were invited something like half dozen of Nashville's most useful and public spilled women met and pledged their loyal support to the association. Among those present were Madams S. W. Crostwish, G. E. Haynes, Martha Washington, M. H. Fowers and Miss Elizabeth Moore. Much surprise was created when it became known the ladies have already done in the absence of any special effort whatever. Below is a list of paid in ful subservers from $25.00 down to $5.00: $20.00 Subscribers: Mrs. Harriet Carter, Miss Mary E. Braden, Miss Elizabeth McKeever, Mrs. Martha Washington, Mrs. S. M. Lowe, Mrs. M. V. Bouton, Misses 'Grace Eaten and Elizabeth Moore. $20.00 Subscribers: Misses Mary E. Spence and E. M. S. Medavock. $10.00 Subscribers: Miss G. A. Mallet, Misses Elizabeth Sander Malbie Overton, F. A. Miller, F. M. Poindexter, Mary E. Scruggs, M. L. Ruffin, Ellie A. Wel's ant E. M. Green. $5.00 Subscribers: Madans Marie onney, R. U. Ferguson, I. M. P. Sharber, E. E. Stevens, Nancy Cheatham, M. H. Childress, H. M. Ferguson, M. H. Howe's, Fannie Buchanan, J. C. Coots, Laura Carey, M. A. Ferguson, Eliza Jones, M. E.

There are a few women who have paid small amounts which space will not permit the publishing of their names. An opportunity such as has never been given to Nashville women before will be their next Monday night. It is supposed that every lady in Nashville has a living father brother, husband or sweetheart, but whether they have or not, there can be no excuse for their failure to co-operate with the ladies' movement Jan. 29th. An opportunity will even be afforded some one woman in Nashville to eclipse all other women in amounts subscribed to associations. Up to the campaign pitched in Cincinnati a little while ago, Madam Walker, formerly of Indianapolis, was the one woman who had done what no other had dared to do subscribed and paid $1,000,000 to the Indianapolis association, but along came the Cincinnati campaign which resulted in a $1,200,000 subscription from one of the fair sex of that city. It is possible and quite probable that there are at least one or two women in Nashville who can or two women even this amount and be none the worse off by it. Probably the one reason this has not been done before is that the appeal such as is now being made to the women of Nashville has not had the attractiveness about it such as is true now. One of the ladies present at the meeting last Sunday actually raised the question as to the soundness' the title of the abstract of the Y V. M. C. A. property on the grounds that there was so much in both quantity and quality for so little money. That question can be a satisfactory answered. Any one having further doubt has absolute access to the materials in the Court House in this city. People who have certainly have a right, to ask any question concerning the property that is not clear to them. People who are paying more and are hesitating on the ground that they would like to have some matters cleared up or the deed will be given every possible consideration. The Association attorney, Judge Pitts, is one of the most eminent in the city and will be pleased to see any well meaning inquirer. The meting for Monday night is for ladies exclusively. Of course members of the Committee of Management and Advisory Board and captains of the various teams will be expected to be on hand to be of whatever assistance possible to the ladies. SUNDAY MEETING AND BIBLE CLASS. Despite the condition of the weather, the meeting last Sunday was well attended and the enthusiasm was high. There will be another meeting next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock to which are invited men and boys. A communication was sent last week to all the workers who took part in the 1914 campaign requiring that they be present last Sunday. The percentage of attendance of these workers was not so high as was expected. A special appeal is being made this week to be on hand at the meeting next Sunday. In there are others who would like to be present, but they do not take part in the 1914 campaign, it is hoped that they will be present and make known in what capacity they will serve the association. A five hundred ($500.00) dollar subscription by Mr. S. H. Johnson which was made Jan. 8th, was overlooked on the grounds that the card did not appear in the batch of pledge card turned in, but is nevertheless as good as gold. Mr. Johnson subscribes $500.00 more, a second five hundred dollars subscriber. Why can't we have some more? Mr. J. B. Watson of Atlanta, is here. He states that his entire time can be put at the disposal of the association. Two other members of the international force, Messrs. Tobias and Johnson, he states can be called in at any time. Mr Watson spoke encouragingly at the meeting his Saturday at the location of the big Ryan Auditorium meeting Feb. 11th to everybody in the city of Naso ville will be invited. A PUBLIC HEALTH MEETING. The public is cordially invited to a public health meeting by the phylsims of the Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery, at Pleasant Valley Primitive Baptist, Church Sunday night, January 28, at 7:50 Come out and hear some interesting papers and talks on the care of the human body. Board of Trade Ban queted On last Monday night the Negro Board of Trade pulled off quite an assuir in the adjuxtion of the New Y. M. C. A. Urgent notices have been sent out to every member of the Board of Trade and scores of prospective members, to be on hand for the occasion. In response to this a large number of men was present. The meting was called to order by Mr. A. N. Johnson, the newly elected president of the Board of Trade. The Chair was at once turned over to the vice president, Mr. T. Clay Moore. After prayer and singing, the vice president announced the program of the evening, the first number being the annual address by the president, Mr. A. N. Johnson, who stated upon rising that he had no typewritten document to present, but he desired to talk from the heart. He went over the accomplishments of the Board of Trade, enumerating them one after another, what had been done for the Negroes of Nashville in the various communities by the activities of the organization which had dattered him a second time as its president. Mr. Johnson made an earnest appeal for co-operation, declaring in the midst of his address that the time had come that the Negroes of the city should look to the best interests of the race, doing those things that would be in keeping with good citizenship. He spoke for thirty minutes and was heartily applauded throughout his address. At the conclusion of his annual address a special program was rendered, which included talks from the following: G. Gilwell N. Johnson, F. A. Stewart, F. F. Hill, I. T. Clay Moore, B. C. H. Phillips, W. D. Hawkins, R. L. Mayfield, A. C. Ackle, sion of, Buffalo, N. Y., E. M. Stuart, G. E. Haynes, B. H. January, D. W. Crutchter, H. A. Alfred. While the addresses were being made and an appeal' for member ship was presented by Dr. Stewart a committee of ladies, consisting of Miss Elizabeth Moore, Mrs. A. N Johnson, Sr., and others' superintended the serving of a delicious re past buttered rolls, sweet pickle crackers, Russian tea, brick cream end, assorted cakes. Throughout the evening the addresses that were delivered showed careful thought and tendered much to bring about what each of the speakers thought should be done in bringing about further co-operation. A ringing set of resolutions read by Dr. Julian C, Caldwell put the Board of Trade squarely on record as favoring the Leichlitter Bill now pending in the Legislature, that has for its object the abolishing of the magistrates' courts. The resolution declared that these courts in the manner now conducted were evils that Nashville should ride herself of. Following the Resolution and adoption of the same was circulated a petition which was signed by more than a hundred men. It was 11:30 o'clock before the benediction was pronounced. NUMBER 4 MR.J.BROWN PASSES AWAY WELL KNOWN FLORIST FOR YEARS Funeral Services Largely Attended--All Citizens Mourn Demise-Floral Offerings Numerous Joe Browne, age 55, owner of the Lischese Nursery and green houses died at his home corner Lischey and Mile End avenues, Thursday morning at 1 o'clock after a long illness. While it was known that he was a very sick man, his death came wholly unexpected. Preparations were well under way for a Florida trip, with the hope that he might do him good, he was to leave this week. Death has changed all this. The funeral services will be conducted at his late home tomorrow morning at 1 o'clock by Elder Presston Tatler Instrument in the family burial lot at Spring Hill Cemetery. Honorary J.

John Smith, George McLain, John Haynie and Wilis Harris. Joe Browne was one of the south's leading florists, having been engaged in that business all of his life. He gave the attention that the business deserved, with the result that it grew and flourished. His popularity was attested when it was known that he was dead by the vast throughs both white and black, who came with words of condolence for the bereaved ones, and to take the last look at the kindly face which they no more forever. He was truly a man of generous impulse and ever body was his friend. His stand up and eating to the community were excellent. His word was as good as good at all times with all men. A wife, mother, two sisters and a brother survive him. Letters also telegrams of sympathy have been received by his wife from all parts of the country. Taylor & Co. have charge of the funeral. A more extended account will appear in our next issue. --- MR. AND; MRS. JAMES WEBER. Mr. and Mrs. James Weber, of 821 Overton Street, entertained in honor of Rev Green Thompson, pastor of St. KI.

Shubuta, Miss.—Delegates returning from the extra session of the Association of this district bring the news here that the Association went on record as favoring the unincorporated side of the National Baptist Convention. This extra session was called it is learned for the purpose of determining how this association would stand with regard to patronizing and supporting the various boards of the two conventions. The matter had been much discussed since the recent state convention, which was held at Lumberton, Miss., at which Rev. Sutton E. Griggs and Henry A. Boyd were the principal speakers. It was stated that both sides had been heard and that the churches of the association were in possession of all the facts pertaining to or ad to do with the separation or split in the National Body. Much time was given in the extra session to the matter itself When the final vote came sixty churches through their representatives voted to continue their cooperation and support with the National Baptist Publishing Board, R. H. Bovd, secretary, the Foreign Mission Board, Rev. R. Kemp, D. D. Charleston, S. C., secretary and the National Baptist Convention unincorporated, of which Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., is president. This it is said, resulted in a complete victory for the unincorporated convention, as it was known there were only two churches, or rather two pastors, that opposed the National Baptist Convention unincorporated and the operation of the board, the chief of which is the Nation) Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville. Though Confined to Her Bed and Told She Could Not Live LUNG-VITA THE CAUSE Had Made Arrangements to Take Her to the Hospital Mrs. Estella Barnes, who lives at 454 Humphrey street, Nashville, had the following to say about her experience with Lung-Vita when talking with our representative the other day: "I was in bed and could not sleep day nor night for coughing. The doctor said I could not live, and told my mother that I had old-time consumption. I was in such a condition that when my baby died and was taken away I did not know it. The doctor made arrangements to take me to the tuberculosis hospital, but I would not go, and told him that if I had to die I would die at home. But while in this condition I began taking Lung-Vita, and have to date taken about four bottles. I am now up and able to do my own house work and am feeling fine." Lung-Vita is sold by all drugstores and dealers. (ADv.)

Last summer, Mr. Floyd employed about fifty of our students for summer work on his plantation. He was very much pleased with their service and wishes them well. Duhart Floyd gave a most interesting address last Saturday night on aeric culture as a paying vocation. His visit meant a great deal to us. With him came Mr. Griffin, owner of a neighboring plantation in Tariffville. He also spoke along agricultural lines. Yet upon the minds and hearts of Morehouse men and the friends is the celebration of the fifth anniversary of th College. This is to be the greatest event in the school's history. A most distinguished group of educators representing both white and colored schools of the North as well as of the South will be present. No alumnus, former student, or friend of the college could afford to miss this occasion. The celebration begins Sunday, and closes Tuesday night, February 27th, with a grand anniversary concert.

The exercises of the literary society last Friday night were most interesting, although a number of the city students were absent on account of the inclement weather. The debate, "Resolved. That parents should dictate the marriage contracts for their children," was spirited. Miss Mala King, who was alone on the side of the affirmative, was the winner against two competitors. The president has made a new ruling respecting socials among the students. Social privileges will hereafter be based upon general department and class standing. No young lady will be allowed the association of young men unless she produces a statement from her parents specifying that they do not object.

To the Editor of the Globe: Will you allow me a space in your paper. I wish to state the general public that I am a member of the Negro Booster Club, and work hard in the interest of a fund for the benefit of giving something to the poor and needy of my race Xmas, and I also donated to this fund, and also the following clubs, with which I am connected, their members, male and female, worked hard selling the Negro Booster Edition paper on Xmas Eve, and just to think that their work was in vain, it seems so. Day after day the people are asking me about the Negro Booster Xmas fund, in which I am anxious to know about myself, and if I cannot learn about it, and hear a report from the said organization, I will resign as a member immediately. I have always worked in the interest of my people as a whole, knowing that we are the inferior race, and we as organizations should work in the interest of our people honest, and not be deceiving, because the knowledge of seven and earth does not approve of such and long as live. I will not participate in a want to say to the good people of Nashville. I do not know what became of the Xmas fund for the poor, in which the Negro Boosters had in charge. In serving as one of the investigating committee of the Widow's Coal Fund, I found many puffful conditions among the needy of our race some without food, clothes and fire but by the help of God, I helped sup Robt.

The boll weevil was the principal talk the first day.

Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 26, '17 DEALING WITH CIGARETTES Is the present anti-cigarette law accomplishing any good purpose? If not, could it not be replaced by a less drastic law that would accomplish a good purpose? The questions come naturally into the current discussion of the advisability of dropping or amending useless laws now on the Tennessee statute books. Under existing law all sales of cigarettes or cigarette materials are forbidden. It is a sweeping prohibition, and so far as common observation goes, there is no pretense of its general enforcement. In Nashville as in all the larger cities of the state, earnest efforts were made to enforce the law. They were finally given over through discouraged conviction that the task was impracticable. In all the larger towns cigarettes are sold almost openly. In some of the smaller towns ready-made cigarettes are not procurable, but "the makings" are everywhere accessible. There is not a community in Tennessee in which cigarettes are not smoked freely every day. This form of smoking has increased in popularity greatly within the last decade. Any hygienist will agree that continuous consumption of tobacco in any form is injurious. Whether moderate indulgence in cigarette smoking is more harmful than any other form of indulgence in nicotine is a question over which there is some debate. Whatever the answer may be it is a condition, not a theory, that is to be considered. Men are smoking cigarettes more numerously in Tennessee today than ever before. Whatever may be the fact as to the adult and the pipe, cigar or cigarette, all authorities agree that any indulgence in any form of tobacco is harmful to the growing boy. Instead of trying to impose a sweeping ban on cigarettes, why not actually enforce a ban on all sales of tobacco to minors? A regulation by which dealers are licensed to sell all forms of tobacco to adults, the license to be revoked and the dealer otherwise penalized in case of sales to minors, should have the effect of shutting off the sales that do the most harm. That much net good will be done in preventing the sales of cigarettes and cigarette material to minors is not to be denied. Would not the actual good thus accomplished be preferable to the purely hypothetical good involved in a drastic anti-cigarette law that is not enforced against either adults or minors? PASS THE WAFFLES A certain wse man has found another blessing in waffles. He has been laid up in the house for a week with a serious cold. When an espe day tempting plate of waffles was placed before him, from that moment he began to improve and is now about his usual duties. One of these days doctors will be adding them to their usual list of remedies. --- It is doubtful if anybody ever loses standing by displaying the courage of his convictions. This applies to politicians as well as to other people, but most of the politicians don't know it. In spite of the fact that liquor is supposed to be obsolete in Tennessee, a South Pittsburg man alleges he found a four-foot snake in a bunch of bananas. After a state goes dry, the next step is to make it bone dry. And after it is bone dry it would be just like some seekers after change to try to make it wet again. The sense of humor is a never-falling help in time of trouble. --- Furthermore, it is dadrotted shame we have to give W. E. King some soda pop, when he comes here a few days hence. That's all we've got. Oh. Gloom! If J. H. Owens of the Gate City Bulletin should happen to come to the press meeting, we'll try to smuggle in something that's good for snake bites. It is easy to understand now why the progressives smiled so broadly when George W. Perkins moved out of their party. What has become of the old-fashioned man who used to say when he wanted to get a drink, "I have to wet my whistle" A mere water wagon is now too wet for anybody. What everybody wants apparently is a ride on the bone wagon. "How dry I am" will be sung by many a citizen of Tennessee from now on, and it will not be a be either. "Is there any evidence that anybody has discarded silk hose because of the high price of potatoes?" inquires the Iowa City Republican. The wickedness of the Kansan who stole a bicycle and bought a wrist watch with the proceeds is under suspicion. A boy's social aspirations consist largely of the hope that there will be plenty to eat at the party. If Mr. Perkins wants a party that he can run let him start one of his own as T. R. did. In the banishment of the liquor advertisement, most fellows don't need a reminder if they are dry. It is difficult for a boy to love his mother while she is washing his neck and ears. Surgery has become quite fine as an art, but seems unable to do much for boneheaded men. And, kindly remember the Y. M. C. A. when you receive your weekly wages tomorrow. The man who is a hero to his wife probably hasn't been married very long. You never miss the brown bottler in the alleys. Another danger of promiseuous kissing is painter's colic. It is mighty seldom that the willi- ng worker is out of work. REV. WILSON IMPROVING. Rev. A. W. Wilson, who has been on the sick list since Christmas under the care of Dr. Russell is improving. Rev. Grant Bryant filled Rev. Wilson's pupit and preached a salluring sermon, it being the first Sunday in the New Year, the members and friends filled the church. The sunrise prayer meeting was quite a success. The Lord blessed us boundless by giving us old mothers, Sister Laura Douglass. "Rev. G. L. Jackson of Mooretown and his congregation come over and worshipped with us. On Monday night several of the good sisters and brothers stormed the pastor, Rev. Wilson. The party met at Sister Susie Henderson's and from there went to the Wilson home. The meal and flour bins were filled to their tops and other good things catable were given. The party was quite a surprise to Rev. Wilson. During the evening a beautiful song was rendered, "God will take care of you." The young people's church club met at the home of Mrs. Thomas Jennings. The club is doing great work. They brought up the rear of the storm by donating the pastor a neat little sum. SOCIETY OF VIRGINIANS. Prosperous Brooklyn Corporation Installs Officers For Ensuing Year. Brooklyn—The Society of the Sons of Virginia, a large and influential membership organization chartered under the membership corporation laws of New York, closed its fiscal year dear debt. The reports of the financial secretary, Graham H. Number Sr., and Treasurer Graham H. Carter showed an increase in both membership and in finance.

The society is now making an effort to increase its membership to 200.

The members received a soul-stirring sermon Sunday morning, delivered by Rev. J. R. Bennett, of Philadelphia, Pa. His discourse was based on "Honesty," and it was emphasized with such spiritual power that man should be honest in all his dealings with God, his church, his home and his fellowman that every sentence seemed to grip the heart strings of each individual under the hearing of his voice, and create within them a new determination to live and act honestly in the future. May God ever bless Dr. Bennett and the good people under his leadership, and we hope he will live long to ever do the work of the Master. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. both had good attendance. both and good attendance. We were pleased to have Rev. S. E. Griggs, of Menphis, Tenn., with us.

The church has lost a friend. Brother McCoy stood as a soldier for many years and fought until the Lord called him to his home to rest. Sunday was a sad day for the members of St. Luke. Men, women and children wept as the procession reached the beautiful church building. The church was crowded with sorrowing friends who came to pay their last tribute to the deceased. The funeral was attended by the pastor, Rev. J. H. Maywood and two other former pastors of St. Luke. Brother McCoy was a strong supporter of our National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, of which our beloved Dr. R. H. Boyd is Secretary. St. Luke has lost one whose place will be hard to fill. To know him, was to love him. City Items Miss Elsie S. Norris has returned home from Shelbville, Tenn., where she spent a pleasant two weeks' stay with Mrs. Lucy Dickerson.

Ross of the Mt. View vicinity, Smyrna, the community, the church, the Sunday school and family have felt as great a loss as they are held to maintain. She was a gentle, quiet, Christian woman who looked for the good in every and would not discuss the evil only with the individual whom it concern ed and then with a view to help him. The following will serve as an account of her funeral at Mt. View Baptist Church. "Vale of Beulah was sung by the Sunday school as they marched in with her corpse. After all were seated the meeting was open ed by the church singing her favorite "Come to Jesus." The Scripture lesson by the pastor, Rev. W. P. Hall and prayer by Rev. W. H. Whittaker of Smyrna, after which Pastor Hall called for following program: Rec. "A Vacant Place," Miss Louise Long; Resolutions, Miss Classie Jordan; Solo, "While the days are going by; Mrs. Batey; Eulogy, Viola Wade; Resolutions, Mrs. Long; Duet, "Death is only a dream," Mrs. Long and Miss Jordan. After this the Obituary was read by Rev. Hall. Obituary of Mrs. Lottie M. Ross. Sister Ross was born, October 1, 1871, departed this life January 20, 1917, age 45 years, 3 months and 19 days. She embraced hope in Christ in her 11th or 12th year and joined the Mt. Zion Baptist Church at Smyrna and lived there a long long time, then united with the Mt. View Baptist Church of her neighborhood and took an active part in all religious work and was faithful until the end. She leaves a mother, husband, three brothers, four children and four grand children and a host of friends to mourn her loss. It is our loss but heaven's gain. The three ministers, Revs. Hall Whittaker and Perry, who had charge of her funeral preached touching sermons from the text, "When the earthly house of this tabernacle," etc. She was laid to rest in the family burying grounds.

The Conference of farmers and other workers held annually at Lane College, Jackson, Tenn., for the past several years will convene this year on February 22nd, for a two days' session. The management is making extensive preparations for this meeting, and an enthusiastic session is fully expected. To deliver popular addresses, President J. F. Lane and the Executive Committee have secured the services of some of the ablest men and women of the country, besides the Government Demonstrators who will point out the way for improvement and progress in matters agricultural. Last year there were more than a thousand men and women who followed up the sessions, and equally as many are expected this year. Exhibits. The farmers are expected to bring some of their farm products for exhibition. This is to encourage the people in growing a superior breed of live stock and poultry as well as a better grade of farm products such as corn, cotton, potatoes, peas, meat, and the like. Another year, prizes will be offered in every department of work on the farm, embracing the canning of fruits and vegetables, seed cotton, seed corn, alfalfa, poultry, butter, eggs, hogs and needlework of all kinds. A competent Committee of Awards will be formed, and the exams graduated and classified. Bring something you have grown with you to place on exhibition. Special Studies. The subjects of special study and discussion this year are: Improving Health Conditions, Boll Weevil and How to Get Rid of It. Better Schools and Churches, Diversified Crops, and Improving Country Life. Popular addresses will expose the folly of spending all we make, and the great necessity of conserving the strength and life of the race. Our waste is too great. Too many of our number are aimless, and are simply drifting with the tide. Just now many Nergoes are going north. As freemen, Negroes like other citizens, have a right to go where they please to go, and just now they seen, to be pleased to go north where they can improve their eco nomic condition and enjoy better civiltic and educational opportunities for themselves and their families. Concerning these and other matters of moment, the invitation is extended to the public at large to "come and let us use together." DOUGLAS MEMORIAL—A CALL TO LOYAL MEN AND WOMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE TO EXALT MEN AND WOMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE. Enlist All Churches, All Organiza- tions, Secret Orders The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Tennessee, in common with the Federations of other states, is making an effort to help appreciably in raising $15,000 with which to redeem and beautify the Frederick Douglass Home in Anacostia, Washington, D. C., and to fit it properly for the honorable place it will occupy as a memorial and shrine for our ancestors, a ballowed spot breathing out insults and a love of those lotty principles the love of righteousness and justice that activated the noble Douglass in his gesto to gain freedom for himself and for his fellow creatures. At their meeting in Baltimore last summer, the National Association of Colored Women decided to undertake this work, provided it could be shown by able investigators, to be safe from every point of view. Our own Hon. J. C. Napier and Judge R. H. Terrell, together with a committee of our able women made the proper investigation, and in a recent mail, the National President, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, 521 Michigan avenue, Buffalo, N. Y., writes the Tennessee President of Clubs that it is in every way safe to attempt the redemption of the Home. This is an unusual moment in the life of the race, and we believe by acting in concert, it will give the dye of falsehood to the oft-repeated statement that the Negro does not love or honor his own great men. Our foreparents lived through the terrors of slavery and were able to walk out of those galling chains, largely because of the wonderful career of Frederick Douglass who, though born in the darkest days of slavery, yet by his own efforts rose to the height of a free man whose courage and eloquent logic helped mightily to overcome an unwilling Republic that the black shape of the Negro was no indication that he should be held in that state. We ought to be glad to honor his memory. The attainment of success in Tennessee so that this state does not fall below the standard of others, will depend upon the hearty co-operation of every man, woman and child, who has the advancement of the Negro race at heart. It is hoped that leaders of the various groups will take immediate steps to see that fitting programs are readied and every effort to collect creditable sums of money be made. The ministers of the gospel, the presidents and principals of universities, colleges and other schools, the presidents of Men's and Women's Clubs, Secret Orders, professional men, doctors, lawyers, business men and everybody that can are earnestly entreated to put their forces in this great effort to raise this money in one week—Feb. 5, 1922. And how fitting that this effort should be made now—one hundred years after the birth of this great hero! What will you do? Will you go on record as helping your race to erect a new standard of race pride? The names of all individuals and organizations contributing $25 will be enrolled on parchment and hung on the wall and the organization giving the greatest amount over $25 will be memorialized with a bronze tablet to be placed in the wall. Future generations will thus be enabled to see some of those who set the new standard. The Treasurer for this important Fund is Mrs. J. C. Napier, 120 Fifteenth avenue North, Nashville Tenn. She will send receipt and public acknowledgement will be made of all money received. Mrs. Talbert will gladly send Official Programs to any who desire them. Let each race lover see that fitting programs are rendered on the 12th, or as near that time as possible—that being the accepted date of his birth. My friend Tennessee, whoever you be that read these lines, remember NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 26. 1917. that you owe it to your race to help in this effort to arouse and develop race love and race consciousness. Will you help us to make a piece of impo-ant history for the race of our hero? Will you help to make possible a "Mecca" or future generations to revere? The Tennessee Feneration of Colored Women's Clubs will be grateful for your spirit of helpfulness. The National Association of Colored Women and the Negroes of the nation at large who have the progress the Negro at heart will catch a visit to success, a gleam of light by the race, and your cordial support in this effect. Help these Negro women who with faith in God are willing to attempt and accomplish great things for the glory of God and the advancement of the race The committee who investigated are as follows: Miss Florence Randolph, Jersey City, N.

Every nation of recognized merit, and ability, chronicled in the world's history, is proud to revert to some special feature of its life and point with pride to some one thing that has given character to its institutions and added to its national glory. This is true in the case of Roger Williams University, for it is proud to point to the fact that ever since its founding it has stood for the highest efficiency in Christian training. In the class room or in the studio, at tennis or basket ball, the noblest ideals of efficient, wholesome, practical and cultured womanhood and manhood are the common goal of Roger students. Dr. Harry H. Maynard, professor of science, is all smiles these days since the president has added to the laboratories fixtures and instruments costing over fifteen hundred dollars. More efficiency is our slogan. The student body was the recipient of a delightful treat last week when Hon. J. C. Napier, Mr. Grant and Mr. Dickson, the latter a capitalist of Buffalo, N. Y., were visitors at the university. All made inspiring speeches. More new students have made more intricate the problem of where to put them. This problem confronts Kenna and Mrs. Hampton, marrons of the girls' and boys' buildings, respectively. All resented the leaving of Mr. Robert S. Alsup for Chicago Saturday. Mr. Alsup went at the call of his rather. Henry Allen Boyd, Chairman of Y M. C. A. Nashville, Tenn. The selection of Henry Allen Boyd as chairman of the committee of management of the Young Men's Christian association, Nashville, Tennessee, was a wise one. Mr. Boyd is a young business man of fine qualification and rich experience, says N. Barnett Dodson. He is an organizer and financier who knows how to manage. Moreover, he has the confidence of the public, and in any matter relating to the improvement of conditions among our people he will receive the hearty cooperation of members of both races in Nashville. Mr. Bovyd's work as a promoter of the Susan School Congress is well down throughout the country. His success as a business man is equally well known. The Young Men's Christian Association workers have but to give the chairman their co-operation and success will reward their efforts. The opportunities afforded members of the association for self help are easy, and each should seek to advance himself in his particular line in its report. When the building recently purchased by the association is but in order for practical use the memberhip of the branch will increase rapidly. Nashville has hundreds of boys young men who are anxious to better their condition, and the esablishment of the association at its time comes as a great promise to them—TheAfro-American Page.

Dr. Brough, the newly elected governor of the state of Arkansas, has made a brilliant beginning so far as his own people are concerned. His educational program is broad and comprehensive, progressive and highly civil. In addition to the four agricultural schools for the whites, he has recommended that an industrial school be erected for girls, white girls, we mean. The program is indeed elaborate so far as the educational side of his administration is concerned, but we were just wonder ing where the Negro came in. He advocates the maintenance of the State University at Fayetteville to have to the white race higher and technical education along all lines. He advocates dotting the state with industrial schools that they may be come fully prepared and competent in industrial pursuits. He advocates the continuance of the medical department and the law department of the University of Arkansas, and in need, his program, his educational program is elaborate. Where does the Negro come in? The only thing that we have been able to see is, that he suggests that the Branch Normal School be sold, that its name be changed to an industrial school for Negroes, that a business be bought somewhere and an industrial plant be erected thereon. That says, of course, that the Negro education so far as the state is concerned is to be limited to an industrial curriculum, while at the expense of the state, the whites are to receive all kinds of training, from the highest classics to the most, bribe technical, down to the most honest industrial, complimented by first class professional education. We do not begrudge nor do we hesitate to compliment the high and progressive educational program for our white neighbors, but we just want to know, "Where the Negro Comes In?" Does it not dawn upon the mind of any fair and intelligent Christian man or man that the Negro, whether he says anything or not, becomes restless under such discriminating condition. As tax-payers, as loyal citizens, both in the time of war and in the time of peace, the Negro feels that he should share equally in pro-activity in the service in the advantages given to the citizens of the state by the state. It is clear that if the white man needs, in order to make him a good and competent citizen, a classic training, an industrial training, a commercial training, a professional training, that the Negro in order to make him a competent citizen needs the same thing. The editor of the People's Defender respectfully, therefore, calls the attention of the powers that be to the fact that the Negro begs and prays in the absence of the power to do himself, that they will give him a square deal in the benefits to be derived from the state. —The People's Defender. SIGNS OF PROGRESS Dr. E. P. Roberts of New York has been named by Mayor Mitchell to the educational board of New York. Now and then we see very great signs of public improvement that is, improvement of the public conscience. In proportion as the public conscience becomes divested of prejudice will it act in harmony with the high laws of the divine nature. The divine law and the divine mature recognize and take men for what they are worth, and never become confused with their color or oracle identity. The honorable place to which Mr. Roberts has been appointed simply demonstrates that punishment, the final banishment of prejudice. It further demonstrates that the Negro's capabilities and powers and usefulness as a citizen, both public and private, are becoming more and more known, recognized and utilized. There are so many places that the Negro could be of great service to his community, whether it be city or state or nation, were it not for the orme to be plack. If prejudice would hide her hydro-head and permit the use of the talent and capacity, the good will and energy of the Negro, in public capacity in proportion to his capacity, the country would become almighty. This is why he that could tender. There are so many places, however, wherein he is kept back and where he is not permitted to demonstrate his public usefulness. This is true in almost every public place in life, even to the army of the U. S. there is a kind of feeling on account of prejudice that the Negro should not be given an opportunity at the official roster. The Negro has played his part mightily as soldier in private ranks and very moderate official places, but he has never been given an opportunity to demonstrate to what extent he could be of service to his nation in the higher departments of official place. If the south would forget its prejudice and give the Negro a chance to help in a public way wherever he can, and wherever he has the ability to help wherever his moral decision permits him to help, they would find a wonderful change in things. The signs of the times, however, point directly toward the coming of the day when a man shall be a man for a that. ATHLETICS VERSUS STUDY. ATHLETICS VERSUS STEP There has been a bill introduced in the legislature of Arkansas looking to the checking of this bill in the public schools, or in the schools in the public schools, or in the school system of our state. The bill provides that no team or organization shall play a game of any kind whether it be foot ball, basket ball, base ball, or any kind of ball on any grounds with any team except on its own ground, thus putting a substantial check to this pernicious running around all over the country by youths to play ball when they should be at study. The editor of the People's Defender, while possibly would not be so drastic as the bill requires, yet he has felt, and feels now, that so far as the Negroes are concerned that they are spending entirely too much time on the diamond, and on he gridiron. The bill requires that they be spending entirely too much time on the diamond and on the gridiron. The editor of the People's Defender has called attention to the authorities of the Arkansas Baptist College and the Philander Smith College upon several occasions to this very matter. He believes in study. He does not believe that any boy or girl can spend a fourth of his time in the field of athletics and become efficient in the pursuit of his study. The editor of the People's Defender has watched with a good deal of pain the tramping of the boys of the two colleges named over the city of Little Rock looking for vacant lots upon which to get themselves in trim for a big game, when in his judgment they ought to have been getting themselves in trim from a mental standpoint for the big game of life. For a youth to spend one-fourth of his time on the fields of athletics it will take another fourth of his time studying about the victory or the defeat that was his in the game. He decided that if he spent its time getting down and adjusting himself to study, thus three-fourths of his time hath been illly spent, and only one fourth in real hard, practical research for truth upon which he must depend as guidance through life. The result of this athletic policy adopted by the schools of our state and city, especially among the Negroes, they are being turned out all over our country, little, mental The People's Defender.

RICHARDS, Commissioner, Washington, D. C. dwarfs, Lilliputians, pigies as to mental power and grasp. Scarcely can you find a Negro turned out from our schools that is a giant as to intellect. If he is not helped through the examinations and given favors in first one way and another, he never gets by. Nine-tenths of the graduates of all of our schools have never demonstrated any mental development applies, or should apply, to graduates to real trained minds. It may do for the white man and for the white youth, but this is the day of application, serious, stubborn, consistent, continuous application for the Negro. He has got to cut his way through the mountain. His pick must be ground sharp. He has got to climb the rough side of the hill. His mental boots must be substantial. He has got to run up against the strongest mental age in the world's history, the result of a result of a heritage of years and centuries of his white neighbors, and he must be thoroughly prepared, and he cannot get such preparation hollering and scrambling over a football and yelling at a baseball, three or four times in a week, leaving the college and the school, and tramping cut of the state, being gone four and five days in the very heart of the session. Hurrah for that bill. Let the Negroes get down to work, mental work, that is what they need. NEGRO JOURNALISM THE NASHVILLE Globe, a Negro journal of Nashville, Tenn., is an eye-penator, and from many stand-points demonstrates Negro worth and Negro ability. Its Christmas number was a gem, a rare production of the musical and intellectual combination. This Section was the most brilliant that it has ever been our privilege to witness, so far as Negro journalism is concerned, and compared most favorably with that of any race. It demonstrated the ability of the Negro to do things, and in our judgment is one of the most potent factors in presenting to the Negro skill, Negro ability. The great reason why the white leaders and white men of ability, Negro men of fine parts, together with their accomplishments, are so far ahead of Negro men of ability, Negro men of fine parts, and Negro accomplishments because of their ability to get themselves and their before the world. The Negro has never been able to put himself before the world. He has never been able to tell the world what he has done, or to show the world who he is. This has been due to the fact that he has had no journalistic ability, nor great journals through which the world concerning the Negro as a rule has been told it by the white journals, the information conveyed to the world concerning the Negro has been conveyed by the white press. The appearances and contour and outline feature of the Negro that the world has seen the Negro to it by the white press. The white press naturally being prejudiced and having much to do of its own has neglected to give the world a true vision of Negro skill, of Negro ability, of Negro feautre, of Negro home life, of Negro enterprise. And hath too often even distorted Negro appearance into that of a criminal or a wicked bully, or an assassin, or rapist, but the day dawns, the morning star shines out brightly, and the Nashville Globe, the forerunner, the bright forerunner of the sun of journalism, testifies to its rising. No person could have read and examined the Nashville Globe without being impressed, wonderfully impressed, with the genius behind it.

The editor of the People's Defender congratulates the Globe Publishing Company upon its exceedingly meritorious journal, and dofs his hat to the learned and fascinating editor. The Globe should be read by every Negro in the country, its account of Negro enterprise, its account of Negro thrift, its account of Negro organization, its presentation of Negro face and feature, its fair dealings with the great questions of the race, its high stand upon morality, all testify of the ability of the Negro race to do things. It testifies further that the day is not far distant when the Negro's praises shall be sung throughout the length and breadth of our great country through Negro journals in a way that will make the world sit up and take notice. In this way and through such splendid journals that prejudice is to be broken down and the Negro is to fight his way to his proper place among men. Long live the Globe. —The People's Defender.

We are pleased to report to the public the work of the SyLVan Street Baptist Church for the year of 1916. A more faithful and energetic band of Christian workers cannot be found in Nashville. The church is divided into seven clubs with a deacon as captain of each club. There are also six auxiliary clubs which are doing excellent service. The Pastor's Fund Society, under the leadership of Mrs. Cynthia Wherry, raised $157.19 and has in treasury now $15.44. Besides keeping up our current expenses, we have been able to do repair and beautifying to the amount of Six Hundred ($600) Dollars. During the year we have installed a hot air furnace which is giving perfect satisfaction, are lights and have been beautified the entire interior. The special work of the Pastor's Fund Society is to meet all deficiencies in the pastor's salary, which the have done during the past year. These good women cannot be too highly praised for their labors of love and their devotion to duty. Mrs. Mollie Layne is their new president. The Ladies' Aid Society takes care of any deficiencies that occur in any part of the church. They spent One Hundred Dollars in beautifying the church during the year. When we need money all that is necessary is a call upon this organization and it is always forthcoming. Mrs. Maggie Barnett is their new president and we have every reason to believe that the society will hold up to its former record. The Jolly Workers presented to the church an individual Silver Communion Set at a cost of Twenty-five Dollars. The Missionary and Educational Union beautified the pulpit. The Metoka Club composed of mea varnished the pews. They have a new president in the person of Deacon Ed Ford. Likewise each auxiliary has done whatever has been assigned to it. We begin our second year of labor with high hopes and bright prospects. Indeed Sylvan Street Baptist Church is a veritable beehive. We solicit your prayers and your presence during 1917. REV. T. WADE HAMPTON, D. D. Member of Faculty A. and I. State Normal, Trustee of Turner College Sheboyville, Tenn., 'member of the following committees at A. and I State Normal. Committee on Agriculture. Committee on Registration in Buildings and Grounds, Committee on Position for Teachers Work. Committee on Extension Work. Committee on Suggestions. He resigned the pastorate and accepted an appointment of an evangelist that he might have more latitude to do a greater work for his people. He is a full fledged African Methodist and will be glad to preach for any church on Sunday, it doesn't matter what denomination. He will be glad to go to any school or teacher's meeting and give the stereotypical views of our school. He has two lectures on character building subjects, "Keep your head out of Delilah's Lap." "As a man thinketh, just so, is he." Professors A. C. Burnette and J. L. White of the Agricultural Department of State Normal are able and willing to go to the call of the people at any time, and talk to the farmers on the subject of farming. State Normal farm under their tudorship was able to send the corn to the Negro Conference, at Tuskegee this year that took the first prize. President W. J. Hale stands at the head of this institution, does not stand for anything but business. His ear is always open and ready to listen when you talk to him about improving the race. FIRESIDE SCHOOL The Fireside School Trainin' Classes for Christain Workers are being sustained with a great deal of interest by the large number of members. On Thursday evening Miss Marvin, of Lancaster, Mass., gave an interesting address on mission work in Micronesia, to the Young Women's Class. Curios and pictures added to the vividness of scenes described. Next Thursday, Jan. 25, Mrs. Mattie Carr Chavis of Walden University will speak on "My Book Friends." On Friday morning Miss Margaret Buchanan, State Secretary of the Woman's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention, gave a most helpful talk on "How to carry on a missionary meeting." Next Friday, Jan. 26, Dr. C. V. Roman is to address the class. It is hoped vari-ous speakers may be secured whose messages will add to the usefulness and interest of the courses already provided. Visitors are invited to attend any session and there is still time to enroll in the member ship of the classes. WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN MINISTRY UNION WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION Do not fall to attend the public meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union that is to be held on Sunday afternoon, January 28th, at three o'clock at the Negro Carnegie library.

CHURCH On last Sunday services were will attended at 11 o'clock and at 8 p. m. all were rained out except the janitor. At 12:45 the Sunday school was interesting to those who attended. The Sunday school will change their schedule from 12:45 p. m. back to 9:30 a. m. We hope that all persons will bear this change in mind and govern themselves accordingly. Reports came in of several members who are on the sick list. We invite you at all times to come and worship with us. Mrs. Mittle Young wishes to state to her many friends that she is still improving, after a serious illness of six weeks. 1028 Horton St. AUXILIARY MEETING.

Preaching is m. m. by the pastor, subject, "The Glory and Peril of the New Era in Religion" (Isaiah 52:10.) The members of the church are asked to come out in large numbers, as Sunday is designated as a day upon which the Baptists of the city will be present to assist us in an effort to raise money for the church.

He is one of the best physicians in the city. Dr. Walker is young in years but old in knowledge and is hard to excel. Dr. Robin's sister from St. Louis, Miss Salie E. Mayberry, was also sick at the same time. She is now improving. Dr. West is her physician.

One of the saddest events of the season was the difficulty between Rev. Moore, a local preacher of the A. M. E. Church, and Mr. Reese Hise, a member of the A. M. E. Zion church, a few days ago. They both had some hogs to kill and had planned to kill together, as they live near each other, but before they had carried out their plans they had a difference over some trifling matter, and Mr. Hise was struck on the head with a piece of iron and his skull fractured by Rev. Moore. Mr. Hise underwent two operations and was thought by many to soon recover, but owing to his advanced age of seventy years, he could not rally and early in the morning of the 15th inst., he was summoned to the great beyond. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Williams, pastor of the A. M. E. church, as the pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church was absent from the city. The District Superintendent of the Zion church was telephoned for to come and conduct the funeral and burial services, but his train was late and he just arrived in time to say only a few words.

THE STAR THEATRE We are always glad to call the attention of our readers to this popular movie house. Since the change of management several weeks ago, Messrs. T. Chy Moore and W. F.

Each day is some feature picture thrown upon the screen, and good crowds take advantage in attending regularly. The Star Theatre has become a sort of home theatre, and good place for not only the children, but their parents, to receive instruction and amusement Every Manday Pearl White can be seen in "Pearl of the Army," or Thursday's the popular serial, "The Secret Kingdom" is being displayed On Saturdays, "The Perils of the Girl Reporter," are shown.

THE BLJOU THEATRE On Monday, "Liberty" was finished and the first episode of "The Purple Mask" was presented to an unusually large audience. "The Shielding Shadow" which was shown every Thursday was externely popular as was evidenced by the large crowds that poured out on that day.

Every Friday night is known as "Society night" and the Bijou Orchestra with Miss Madeline Carline, led by Lewis M. Mitchell continues to please the audience by their splendid musical number.

DeBose, a young man of great talent who graduated from the music department of Fisk University three years ago. He has since been studying at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, which is his year a member of the senior class. Mr. DeBose, will give a piano recital at Fisk Memorial Chapel on Friday night, February the second, at eight o'clock. The interest of the occasion is heightened by the fact that this recital will be the opening of a new concert-grand piano, recently given to the University. It is hoped that all lovers of music will avail themselves of this opportunity. --- THE BIRTH OF A RACE A company has been organized in Chicago to present on the screen the story of the colored man, not only in America, but "from the beginning and we assume—in darkest Africa," as well. The Birth of a Race Photoplay Corporation has been organized especially for the production of this "million dollar picture" which will be produced in association with the Selig Polyscope Company, one of the oldest and most reputable film companies in the United States. It has the support of many well-known men colored and white, among whom a few are Dr. Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Dr. Hollis B. Frissell of Hampton Julius Rosenwald and Edgar A. Ban croft. The Birth of a Race (re-Birth would perhaps be more accurate) should be of great educational and inspirational value. There is little doubt that the picture will be produced in appropriate fashion. The production on the screen will be accompanied by music by Harry T Burleigh. "The Birth of a Race" should be of infinite value in educating the whites on the progress made by the colored man in all climes and ages, and in encouraging and inspiring the colored man, to say nothing a better feeling and understanding between the two great groups of Americans—Amsterdam News. The Griffin Sisters and their company of eight pony girls are the big noise at the grand Theatre, Chicago, this week.

Springfield, Ill., Jan. 21—The first bill of a freak nature to be introduced in the General Assembly was introduced today in the House by Representative Robert R. Jackson, a Negro from Chicago. It provides that any corporation, person or combination of persons, who shall advertise, publish, present or exhibit in any public place in the state any lithograph, drawing picture, play, drama or sketch that tends to induce race plot or race hatred shall be guilty of a misdeed and shall be fined not less than $200 or more than $1,000 for each offence.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA. By J. H. Grav Special to the Nashville Globe Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 24. Gibson's New Staircase theatre. The world's greatest plachonage extended by a Negro is all ablaze this week, proclaiming its pride at this the third anniversary of this theatre under the present management. In view of the fact that it is anniversary week, special efforts have been put forward to give the house a festive air. Society fills the boxes which are gaily decorated with new porters. New carpets with rich colors cover the aisles and stairways, and new storm mats are placed at the entrances and exits. The architectural designs have been changed, and the exterior as well as the interior has been remodeled. All the modern equipment that an up-to-date theatre needs has been added at cost of over $65,000. Throngs way beyond the capacity of the house, which is 1000) seek admission to all of the performers. The attendees have their hands full handling the crowds. It is soon found out that the principal manager is John T. Gibson, owner and manager of this theatre. The people want to see him and shake hands with on every hand, who despite opposition on every hand has made it possible for Negroes to enjoy the best there is in the剧院 to inquire of dollars are paid out every week to their own people for services rendered. He is a retiring, modest man of only 38 years old. In him there is a synthesis of qualities and activities which form an unique and powerful character. He has a family and lives in a beautiful home in the north end of the city surrounded by the everything that he gives, a generous program of high quality off-the-grid provided for this week, a musical comedy in one act that enlivens vaudeville is "Hello, Mr. Green" by the Irving C.

It will open again the following week with an attraction to be mentioned later. JACK JOHNSON STILL IN THE LIMELIGHT. We have just read the following dispatch from London. JACK JOHNSON MAY BECOME PENN ENCHTER London, Jan. 16.—Americans who have just arrived here from Spain say that Jock Johnson, former heavy-weight champion, may become a bull fighter. Johnson has ben living in Barcelona for some time, but his purse is running low owing to his inability to find any one to meet him in the ring. It is said that Johnson's friends are glad to become a bull fighter, believing he would make a his success because of his quickness and strength. Isn't it strange how a good many white newspapers want to convey the impression that Jack Johnson is broke. This is by no means true, and Jack is in no way living frim hand to mouth. He conducts by far the most popular Cafe in Barcelona, Spain, and from reports he is reaping a big harvest among the Spaniards. When tourists visit that country they at once seek to find pleasure at Jack Johnson's place. One report which seems authentic says that Jack has made thousands of dollars and is wisely investing in profitable ventures. He writes again and says that "he is as happy as a lark and as fat as a pix." Surely that looks like success. The Negro when given a square deal always comes out on top. SCM STUDY NEEDEYD TO LUR GIRL TO KITCHENS With Factories and Officers Opening Their Doors to Her, Housewives Must Offer Regular Hours Plenty of Amusements and, Above All, the Dea of Human Feelings if They Expect to Get Domes Servants. By Zoe Beckley A woman I know put an advertisement in an art magazine for a "general houseworker." The dear, optimistic soul had often used that "too before and been swamped with applicants. This time she had two. Both were middle-aged. One said she might come for $40 a month if her was no washing or window cleaning or sweeping or doorman answering or this or that or the other. The second, after asking many questions, sniffed and decided "she did not want to work anyhow."! My poor friend is still looking. And while I am sorry for her, I most don't plane iris for their ever-increasing peevishness against domestic service. The average worker has about the drearest job on earth and the longest hours. Sometimes's got to be done to bright the ten hired's job, or there soon won't be "no such aniline" as a hired girl. Miss Eva D. Bowles, colored secretary of the National Young women's Christian Association thinks she knows the answer, or part of it anyhow. She says it is both us to the "lady" and up to the "girl" about fifty-fifty. First the lady and the girl might learn to understand each other. Then they must be together and do a little teamwork. Miss Bowles and her army of assistants all over the U. S. A. are readied to the colorful girl the ideal domestic helper. She also ways been pretty good at it, but she needs efficiencyizing. The Y. W. C. A. will do its share toward this. Will you, dear lady of the house do yours? FACTORIES AND JOFFICERS OPEN Will you, for instance, consider more carefully the social needs of your very human little maid? Will you give her regular hours such as she would have in an office or factory? Will you be democratic enough to perform a few simple house hold service yourself, like passing the lemonade and cake, or attending the door of hurling the baby, so that Jennifer won't have to wait up till heaven knows when, or the chance that you may need her help before washing? Will you take time enough to explain things to her and show her how you want them done? And talk to her sometimes in a comfy, human way? Will you If you won't and don't—show here's a threat—all the nice willing good natured, sunny-hearted, deft, hand colored girls will go straight into factories and officers which are opening their doors to them now for the first time. And then—wife immigration stopped—where will you be! "A change in the whole housework system, says Miss Bowles. "has simply got to come." The arch must do. A new schedule based on bushiness standards, must come." "But will lovely ladies who wear thousand-dollar gowns and live in million-dollar houses be willing to waits on themselves and do the chores after 7 o'c o'clock." I asked doubtfully. "Million-dollar households do not suffer from the servant-problem." answered Miss Bowley with a glint of the whitest teeth on earth. "Where there is a servants hal, with cooks and maids and footmen and parlor girls and chauffeurs, the help has plenty of companionship. It is the middle class homes where only one or two or three servants are kept that have trouble getting and keeping them. There are millions of such homes. Those are the houseboys I have my professional eye upon—the households I want to equip with my colored girls from the North and from the South." "Haven't southern colored girls the name of being a bit slow and not too fond of hard work." "That's because of their mistress's stouty, defended Miss Eva, Southern girls with a large extent keep the old traditions of slavery days. There were so many servants then that little e service was expected of each. Some of them grew lazy way wouldn't they, climate and everything considered. "They need training and living up! all we are prepared to do through our branch association in every session. I have worked out a system which seems to answer well. After fitting a girl as suitably as possible into a situation, we follow up her work, with the co-operation of her employer. "Her 'lady' finds her for instance excelent in parlor work, neat, tidy, obliquely and thorough. But she weak on making beds," say Or in making biscuits! So we are in charge for that girl to visit the local branch and be made expert on the things she lacks. SHE IS EAGER TO LEARN "We find that a better way than to have regular domestic science classes. It is more practical, more time-saving, and allows the girl to be earning wages while she is being taught what she doesn't know. Experience shows us the southern colored girl is eager to learn and be efficient. If it is made worth her while. By that I mean very large y he attitude the white woman takes toward her. If this attitude is kindly and friendly and without prejudice regarding tradition or color, the girl's natural suniness of disposition and willingness to serve come out and develop. "Experience has taught me also," smiled Miss Bowles, "that all girls are the same the world over no one else can take the color of their skin. They all crave life and companion. This pretty clothes and a chance to be happy. The colored girl is even more social than her white sister. She simply must have friends and good times. "The foreign girls who used to have a most a monopoly of domestic service, wer more content to judge and save, drudge and save. They had no safety of nature, no marked love of music as the colored girl has. The war has cut off the ply of these immigrants. This is the chance for our native Negro girls to come into their own. I think we owe it to them, and I know they will repay our interest." We were sitting in Secretary Rowless sunny office at 600 Lexington avenue (she says she picked out an extra sunny one because some of her problems were so "dark") While he talked, I was thinking how sure it is that she had so often used her reputation in connection with herself and the sands of eager girls she so ably represents. College-bred (from Cherlin, Ohio) and highly intelligent, sensitive and alert, eager and capable, eager and thorough y equipped, deli- cate featured, justfully sown music-voiced and gentle-mamenee! Een Bowley is a striking sample that the colored girl inherently is. What she shall become is larger y up to us-ands our pre- dice. Factories and officer are fast losing whatever prejudice they may have nurtured against the colored girl. In St. Louis, the Armour meat-packing industry has recently employed some 400 of her. Never before have they had any but her help. One hundred more have gone into a box factory in the same city and the number is to be increased. In New York city several fibre factories have taken them on in considerable numbers. And the employment departments of the Y. W. C. A. have difficulty in filling the demand for colored stenographers in offices and shops. Employers say "They don't waste time flirting, and they do their work quite as well as the white girls." Four thousand colored girls have been placed in employment in families and else where by Miss Bowes's department in the past year. NASHVILLE BANKS FIRST IN THE PERCENTAGE OF NEGRO HOME OWNERS A national real estate journal recently printed the interesting news that Nashville ranks first among the cities of the country in the percentage of Negro population owning their own homes. This is a fine evidence of the thrift and progress of Nashville's colored people. It is especially pleasing to notice that the number of Negro renters is growing smaller every day, while the number of property owners is growing larger. Hard work, right living and saving are the three greatest ways open to the colored people of the South to better their condition, and those who observe these rules soon gain the confidence of their employers and everybody who knows them, and when they have thus showed that they can be trusted and are trying to get along in the world, they are helped on every side. The first step in trying to save is to stop paying rent. The trouble facing the poorer people of all races has always been the lack of ready money with which to buy a home. They have been absolutely forced to rent, but in recent years a plan for buying and selling houses has been worked out by means of which a family can pay for a home with the rent money and six per cent interest on the principal. The Bransford Realty Company introduced the plan in Nashville on a large scale, and has sold hundreds of houses to Nashville colored people. Many of the purchasers had little more than a month's rent saved up to make the first payment on their homes, but the Bransford Realty Company has trusted them, advised them and helped them and the result is now shown in the fact that more of Nashville's colored people own their homes than the Negroes of any other city. The Bransford Realty Company has been kind enough to furnish us with more than 100 nannies of colored people in their places, and paid for them. Some of them own four, five, six and as high is seven places. They have their deeds and are well satisfied. Rev. O. Durrett Dies (Continued from page 1.) church, his family or himself, he in turn would open his heart and home to any comer. It was a genuine pleasure to work with such good fellowship as he has shown along all lines of church work. I feel personally that we could not say or do to much to show the world how we loved and respected, and adored the one whose corpse lies before us, for words are vain to him now. He alone knows our deeds and kindness done to him in the life he has left behind. In the vine services, and this beautiful music these speeches, resolutions, etc. are but symbols of loving deeds in the past and expressions of con-olation to his family, that we pay our last tribute and homage to him whom we love. My friend, it was no farewell you said, no mourner no, your pastor friend is not dead nor sleeping now, down in the valley where they laid his spirit shell. He is not there where is thy loved one? Does his life deeds say "Far in the realm of never fading day." Then took with calm and hopeful heart above you, you have one more around God's throne to love you my friend of other years the past is vain and hearts may suffer and be glad again. Lastly be it.

Mis Annie Robinson, Secretary. In recognition and loving remembrance of the evident fact that Dr. O. Durreut in the magnanimity of his spirit gave his heartiest approval and support to any organization which he believed would contribute to the moral social and religious growth and development of his people, we the members of the Mother's' Club of Hickman, Ky., beg leave to offer the following.

It is interesting to compare the STANDARD LIFE death rate with that of other companies throughout the four years of our operation. As a large percentage of the claims paid represents accidental deaths and deaths from causes not possible to foretell, the care in the selection of our risks becomes apparent. Every one insured in STANDARD LIFE must be a good risk. The Medical Director at the Home Office passes carefully y upon every application received, and in addition, a copious precaution being taken toinate other than first-class risks. Go a policy in STANDARD LIFE and you have a certificate of good physical and moral standing. We are building one of the greatest agency organizations in the country. STANDARD LIFE agents are composed of men of high character, of whom we are justly proud, and in whom the insuring public may place confidence. One Hundred Thousand Dollars' worth of paid for business weekly is being placed on our books by this agency force in the nine states in which we are licensed. We are adding to the excellent agency organization weekly, and it is our intention to enter every state in which the colored population will warrant. The total paid-for agency force is 10,000. STANDARD LIFE has more Ordinary insurance in force than any insurance company operated by colored people. STANDARD LIFE premium rates have been carefully revised by our Consulting Actuary, and compare favorably with the net cast of other leading insurance companies.

The company's policy contracts are always up-to-date, AI in every respect, and the latest improved standard forms. All Cash and Loan privileges. Paid Up and Extended insurance values are plainly written in all policies. The Company will accept in lieu of annual premiums, semi-annual an quarterly premiums which are stated in the policies. The privilege of change to other forms of policies at any time is plainly stated and the policyholder has the option of having the insurance paid in in stallments over a term of years instead of in a lump sum, thereby asuring safe investment and indulgence use of the beneficiaries' funds. STANDARD LIFE policyholders are making history, not only in the excellent mortality rating, but in keeping their policies in force, as evidenced by the fact that the lapse ratio for 1916 was only 33 per cent. Very few companies, if any, will show such a favorable record. This speaks volumes for Standard Life, when you consider the charge made for many years, that the company bore the most responsibilityably high. On the contrary, our records show that it is lower than the average of the leading companies of the world. The increase in our assets for the year was $88,258.60, and the assets now total the handsome leure of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. These assets represents the total property of the Company and in the final analysis consist of two parts, Reserve and Surplus. These funds are carefully invested in the highest class of securities, Bonds and First Mortgages on real Estate. Every investment in mortgages represents a evaluation of at least twice the amount loaned. Applications for such loans are one over by the Finance Committee, careful and accurate appraisals of values secured. Before any loan is finally made our Counsel must be satisfied with the title and the property of the property involved, and the face account of the claim; is the claim against the property. Not withstanding this high class of securities, the return to the Company from its Bonds and Mortgages is 6.10 per cent per annum, with a dollar in default for interest payments. The yield on Bonds is 4.99 per cent and on mortgages 7.36 per cent. The Legal Reserve accumulated to the credit of each policy, together with future interest and future premiums, absolutely protects the insured.

William St. New York Is an increase of $67,574.21 for the year the capital and surplus of STANDARD LIFE which has been increased during the year, amounts to over 50 percent of the total liabilities, and together they provide an additional guaranty and security to its policy contracts and obligations. Standard Life Insurance Company is the strongest financial organization of the race. Your Board of Directors have freely and unselfishly given much time to the affairs of the Company they have kept in close touch with the management, meeting closely examining all investment and other buni- Your Advisory Board have rendered valuable service in the selection of agents, in recommending the most careful examiners, and in getting the management in touch with the best class of Real Estate Loans, rendering other valuable service along many lines from time to time. We have added one hundred prominent business and professional men and women to our stockholders. The influence and prestice of nearly 400 stockholders scattered throughout the United States gives STANDARD LIFE a valuable asset, and should mean volumes of new business, as we expand into a large field of operations. The officers have given years of close study to life insurance, office organization and management, and to the plans and best methods of successful companies. In the comment of the first examination made by the State Insurance Department, the experts stated that all of the records of the Company were found in excellent condition and the officers of the Company were marginally managed. This condition obtains today and the Company's officers and employees are well equipped for the duties they perform the closing. I wish to urge upon the stockholders and policyholders, their duty to themselves, to STANDARD LIFE, and to our race, of brining before their neighbors and friends the advantages that STANDARD LIFE offers. Every new policy adds to the development of this great business institution, which gives its people as does not other, absolute protection, Investment and Employment. Truly it is a National Organization, which should be the stand among leading companies. Respectfully submitted. HEMAN E. PERRY. President
