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.

The Nashville Globe, a Negro journal of Nashville, ‘Tenn. is an eyeopener, and irom many stand- points demonstrates Negro worth and Negro ability. Its Christmas num- Ner Was a gem, a rare production of thought of mechanical and intellect. val combination, The Rotograveure Section was the most brilliant that ft has ever been our privilege to wit- hess, so far as Negro Journalism 1s concerned, and compared most. favo- rably with that of any race, It de- monstrated the ability of the Negro to do things, and in ow judgment is cne of the most potent factors In presenting to the world Negro skill, Negro. ability. The great reason why ihe white leaders and white men of ability, white men of fine parts, to gether with thelr accomplishments, are so far ahead of Negro men oi ability, Negro men of fine parts, and ‘Nexto accomplishments is because of ‘their ability to get themselves and theirs before the world. ‘The Negro Yas never been eble to put himseli before the world. He has never been able to tell the world what he has ‘done, or to show the world who hi ‘s, ‘This has beon due to the fac that he has had no journalistic abi ity, nor great journals through whici ‘to do these things, What the worl ‘Imows about the Negro as a rule ha ‘been told it by the white journals ‘the information conveyed to th: | world concerning the Negro has beet |conveyed by the white press, ‘Th | appearances and contour and outlin | ond features of the Negro that th | world has seen have been conveye to it by the white press, ‘The whit press naturally being prejudiced, an having much to Go of its own’ ha Hieglected to give the world a tru | vision of Negro skill, of Negro abil lity, of Negro feautre, of Negro hom |life, of Negro enterprise.
