A mass meeting was held at Ryan Auditorium Sunday afternoon the significance of which, it is believed, has not been equaled by any even that has taken place in the entire five years' history of the local Negro Y. M. C. A. Fully 2,000 people were present, a large number of whom were white friends, although the weather was biting cold. Some of the most prominent citizens of Nashville delivered addresses. Included in this list were Major Robt. Ewing, J. H. Allison, W. D. Weatherford, E. B. Stahlman, J. A. Cayce, Arch Trawick and S. W. McGill. Chairman H. A. Boyd of the committee of management of the colored association presided over the meeting, and there were musical selections by the Davis Juvenile Band from Lebanon. The chorus singing was conducted by A. G. Price. At the conclusion of speaking persons in the audience laid on the table a collection of more than three hundred dollars and many others gave pledges. The money is to be added to the fund being raised among the colored people for the purpose of equipping the Duncan Hotel, the newly acquired property of the colored Y. M. C. A., for association needs.
After the meeting was over it was declared by numerous prominent men that the presence of the white citizens, who spoke, and their words of encouragement toward the movement, together with the presence of so large a number of white people to witness the program, was a great stimulus to the Negroes of Nashville and would be most fruitful in adding renewed impetus to the movement.
Mayor Ewing stated that he appeared at the meeting in his official capacity as mayor of the city of Nashville to wish the movement Godspeed. "We need your cooperation and you need ours, and if the Y. M. C. A. is good for white boys it is for negro boys. We are your but you must continue to show that the tremendous advance which you have made as a race was not by accident. We are going to help you and we and every honest mother and father among you to do your part. You should be behold the movement and give it the right kind of support, moral support as well as financial. We cannot do for you what you can do for yourselves. This movement means the elevation of the colored race, and I congratulate you on the start which you have made. I stand ready to help you."
think you have done enough for yourselves to entitle you to the sympathy, good will and assistance of Nashville. I cannot do much, but you shall have my help and cooperation in putting this proposition over," declared Maj. E. B. Stahman. In his talk Maj. Stahman said further that great credit was due the committee of colored men who have had charge of the work from its conception. "Credit is also due the colored people of Nashville in general, for they have been working zealously to secure a building for their boys and young men. While some may say that this is not the problem to raise the money for Negro Y. M. C.A. building, at a good time to start it. I hope the work will go on and that it may be successful." He also paid a tribute to the association movement as a safeguard to the morals of young men.
Determined to Win Says S. W. McGill.
General Secretary S. W. McGill, in his address, declared that two objections had been raised in connection with the Negro campaign. "One has been that it can't be done and the other is that this is not the time," he stated. To the first objection Mr. McGill answered, "We've already got the Negro building." He declared in answer to the second objection, "Now that we have it, we're going to put it over. It's going to be a hard fight, but we're going to fight together, and we are going to win." Mr. McGill told something of the plans for completion of the project. Mr. Arch Trawick, chairman of the joint committee having in charge the Negro work, stated that he had received many letters from in and out of Nashville, praising the movement to provide for the Negroes a Y. M. C. A. building. "Nashville is proud of her 35,000 colored citizens and it is the duty of us all to stand together in making this a better city. Your white friends are going to remain with you until this job is complete," he declared. "God helps those who help themselves," declared Mr. J. H. Allison, in speaking to the colored people. He referred to the advantages in advertising and in other ways which Fisk University has given to Nashville through the famous jubilee singers. "The north and east speak of Nashville as the home of Andrew Jackson and of Fisk University," he said. "It would be well for the Negro Y. M. C. A. to have such a reputation. The social center that this

work may build up for the colored people could be made of untold benefit to your race and a great advantage to Nashville," said Mr. Allison. He said that the Tennessee and American stands ready to help in the movement. Mr. J. A. Cayce followed Mr. Allison, and said he was glad to have the opportunity to express his interests. Mr. A. H. Duncan stated that the Duncan Hotel property makes an ideal location for the headquarters for the colored men He pledged his support.
Two Races Bound by Inseparable Ties.
Dr. W. D. Weatherford was introduced, and declared that whatever affects the white people affects the colored people. They are inseparably tied together and must work together in forming the morals of the citizenship. He urged that the colored people should do their share, and said that the white people will do theirs. He said the Christian white people are behind the movement.
Seated on the rostrum were many prominent citizens among whom were Presidents F. A. McKenzie of Fisk and W. J. Hale of the A. & I. State Normal.
Dr. George W. Hubbard, president of Mehray Medical College, was the first to make a contribution after the speechmaking. He gave for Mehray $100 to the cause.

DOUGLAS
MEMORIAL
EXERCISES
Nashville Citizens Observe Douglas' Birthday at Lea Avenue Christian Church
Nowwithstanding the steady downpour of rain, the citizens of Nashville gathered at Lea Avenue Church Wednesday night to observe the natal day of Fred Douglass. There was a splendid program rendered. The celebration was held under the auspices of the Colored Men's Clubs of this city and the City Federation of Women's Clubs. Arrangements for the holding of this celebration had been perfected some weeks ago by a special committee appointed by the Colored Men's Club, who were able to induce the representatives of the Lincoln Memorial Association and the City Federation to join in and hold one big celebration. Rev. Preston Taylor, the president of the Colored Men's Club, acted as master of ceremonies. The Lea Avenue choir under the direction of Mrs Taylor rendered splendid selections
After devotional exercises, the master of ceremonies introduced Hon. J. C. Napier, ex-register of the United States Treasury and president of the National Negro Business League, who was the orator of the occasion, who delivered the principal address. Mr. Napier was a personal friend of the late Fred Douglass and for one hour he delivered one of the most interesting and entertaining addresses on the life of the late Fred Douglass that had ever been delivered. He reviewed the fact that Fred Douglass was well and favorably known in Nashville. He also reviewed two instances when Mr. Douglass was in Nashville. On one occasion he spoke at a special celebration and on another occasion he was here on a political mission. At each time he was given a hearty reception by the citizens of the city. The address was typewritten and

One of the most interesting features of the address was excerpts taken from addresses delivered by Fred Douglass in '49 and '50, prior to the emancipation of the slaves. when he was on the platform opposing American slavery; and then excerpts taken from his speech in the 70's when he toured the North in the interest of the Civl) Rights Bill.

NEGRO AS
SOLDIER
AND SAILOR
Congressman Hulbert of New York Delivers Address On the Negro As a Factor in the Army
"There are hundreds of white men in the United States who are willing and who are really standing up for equal justice and fair play to be administered to the Negro of this country. They are doing it without fear or favor. They have long since realized that the Negro when given an opportunity makes a worthy citizen. I thought to hand to the Nashville Globe a copy of a short talk made on the Negro as a soldier and a sailor, by Hon. Murray Hulbert, of New York. It was delivered in the House of Representatives at Washington, D. C., on Wednesday, September 6, 1916," declared Henry A. Boyd, of this city last week. The speech of Mr. Hulbert follows:
"Mr. Speaker, my attention has been called to a bill introduced at this session of Congress, which reads as follows:
A bill (H. R. 17183) to prevent the enlistment of Negroes in the military service of the United States.
Be it enacted, etc., That hereafter there shall not be enlisted or re-enlisted in the military service of the United States, either in the Army or Navy, any person of the Negro or other race.
Sec. 2. All laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
It was a source of genuine satisfaction that Secretary of War Baker expressed himself with respect threeto as follows:
My attention had not been before called to this bill, and, so far as I know, it has not been referred to this department for opinion. The purpose of the bill is to prevent the enlistment or reenlistment of people of the colored race in the military service of (Continued on page 8.)
PRESS ASS'N CLOSES 12th ANNUAL SESSION
Newspaper Representatives Finish Their Work in Nashville After Four Days Deliberation
Nashville, Tenn.—After electing Chris J. Perry of Philadelphia, Pa., as president for the ensuing year, and after the transaction of much very important business, the National Negro Press Association adjourned the twelfth annual session sine die at two thirty o'clock Saturday. More interest was centered in the session just closed than in any meeting since the organization was revived at Louisville, twelve years ago. A larger representation of newspaper men was noticed when the regular session was called to order on Thursday morning in the Board rooms of the National Baptist Publishing House at Second Avenue, North and Locust Street. Preceding the regular session came an executive committee meeting and although Chairman Jones was absent, he was ably represented by President Perry. Nashville opened wide her gates and from the time the newspaper men and women began to arrive until they said their good-bye at the station, they were in the hands of the local com mittee, whenever the sessions and the business of the representatives of the press would permit.
The first social feature of the meeting was the visit to Fisk University. This invitation was extended by President Dr. Fayette Avery McKenzie, who had made special plans to show the newspaper men the Fisk idea and the Fisk spirit. One hour and a half was spent at Fisk University. The student body under the direction of Prof. John Work, rendered many jubilee selections. An address was made by President McKenzie, which was followed by an address by President Perry and W. H. Steward, representing the press. Secretary Henry A. Boyd introduced each representative of the press and told what they were doing with their publications. "A Visit to Roger Williams" was the next social feature. Under the personal escort of Dr. A. M. Townsend, the president of the university, the eight seven-passenger automobiles made a drive out the classic Cumberland to the university, where the student body awaited them. As the press representatives marched in they sang the Roger Williams Song. President Townsend delivered an address of home. Following this the committee of home. Following the secretary, introduced Dr. E. A. Worthington, of Cindinnati, the auditor, Mr. Stephen N. Gumede of Africa, and President Perry. One and a half hours were spent with the Roger Williams people. At each of the universities photographs were taken.
On the following day, Friday, after the morning session, the press representatives responded to an invitation to dine with President and Mrs. W. J. Hale. The big seven passenger automobiles were once more in service and the run from the National Baptist Publishing House to the A and I. State Normal, which is located on Centennial Boulevard, was made in record breaking time. President Hale prepared this entertainment especially for the benefit of the press representatives. Prof. and Mrs. Hale as hosts at the Tennessee A. and I. State Normal School was the big feature of the session. A sumptuous repast was served in the president's dining room at his home on the campus. The following was the menu. Oyster soup, roast beef, cream peas, glazed sweet potatoes, hot rolls and butter, olives and pickles, wallordf salad, ice cream, cake and coffee. After the members of the press had dined to their heart's content, they went to the chapel and the stun-nt body of the big state school marched in sections, carrying banners, ensigns and inscriptions. Prof. N. W. Ryder and Miss Hazel Thompson conducted the singing. Then followed more speech-making after introductory re-marks were indulged in. The press was represented by Rev. Charles Harris of Louisville, Ky., W. L. Porter of Knoxville, Tenn., and Dr J. A. Hamlet of Jackson, Tenn.
Meharry Medical College was the next stop. It was a motor drive across Nashville, from the extreme north to the extreme south, a distance of about six miles. Upon reaching Meharry, President Geo. W. Hubbard greeted the delegation. Dr. Marshall of the Dental Department conducted the singing. Welcome was given by President Hubbard, and then Jos. L. Jones, of Cincinnati, and Stephen N. Gumede, of South Africa, delivered the addresses. The response was made by Dr. C. V. Roman, representing Meharry. They were shown through the buildings and the hospital. They also viewed the Anderson Anatomical Building being erected.
On Friday night there was a spread given by the local committee of which Mr. A. N. Johnson was chairman and C. T. Hume, Secretary, at the Chantant, on 4th Avenue, North, and seeing Nashville was pulled off on Saturday after the adjournment of the Association. While the social functions took up much of the time of the press representatives, the business feature and the legislation that

that they came prepared for hard
work.
The report of the advertising committee and the work they plan, with the benefits to be derived from the standardized advertising, mean thousands of dollars in the course of the next two years to those papers who belong to the association. An able address on advertising was delivered by a representative of the Frost and Frost Agency. The demonstration of the stereotype plate service, how to procure and send out mats from which stereos can be made, which was exhibited by Dr. Boyd of the National Baptist Publishing House was one of the most interesting things of the session. A line on the code service and an order from the early publication of a real code to be used by the members of the Press Association was issued by President Perry and sustained by the Association. The reports of the Vigilance Committee, the Committee on the Address to the Country, the Committee on Grievances were all will received, while a new standing committee known as the Committee on Foreign Relations was used. More than five hundred notifications that had been sent into the corresponding secretary's office were given consideration. Several cases of misdirected or miscarried justice, where members of the race were involved were reported. One special case was that of a man in Chicago recently brought up received the hearty endorsement of the Association, with a pledge of support. The Association commended in session the effort on the part of the National Federation of Women's Clubs to purchas the Douglass Home. It went or record as favoring not only the Lincoln Memorial but the Douglass Memorial Movement.
The Executive Committee's report embraced a multiplicity of activities on the part of the individual representatives belonging to the Association and it was agreed and understood that the motto of the Association should be paramount in their minds at all times. While nothing definite was done with regard to the Executive Committee session to be held some time in August, it is understood

LANE COLLEGE FARMERS
COLFERENCE
Special to the Nashville Globe.
Jackson, Tenn., February 13.
Among the big attractions of the Farmers Conference to be held in this city next week will be the coming of Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, located at Nashville, Tenn. It was learned today from Mr. W. M. Madlock and Prof. J. F. Lane that Dr. Boyd's coming had been assured. He is to deliver a special address to the Conference on Thursday night, February 22nd. In securing Dr. Boyd, President Lane declared that he was elated, because of Dr. Boyd's long experience and because of his accomplishment in building up such a gigantic plant for the Negro Baptists of the United States, which is located at Nashville. "While there is a Negro printing house located here operated under the C. M. E. Church, and while it is a Negro enterprise, it is not claimed to be in size the equal of that plant that Dr. Boyd has established, because the C. M. E. connection membership is not so large," declared Prof. Lane. An arousing demonstration has been arranged for Dr. Boyd, who will arrive on the afternoon train, Thursday. Then entire populace of this city irrespective of denominational affiliation or race conditions, is said to be preparing to turn out and greet him and listen to his address.
Besides Dr. Boyd, there will be on hand other men of large calibre to address the mass meetings that will be held at night during the Conference session. Among those men are: Bishop N. C. Cleaves, D. D., of the C. M. E. Church; Dr. S. A. O'neal of Ky. and Mon. W. T. Vernon, ex-Register of the United States Treasury. Prof T. M. Campbell a colored farm demonstrator of the United States Department of Agriculture, Director S. A. Roberts of the State Experiment Station, Hon. B. K. Bryson of the Department of Agriculture and Mr. Scott Bond, the Negro millionaire farmer are all expected to be present and speak to the masses upon some phase of health, agriculture, and religious life of the people.
Dr. J. F. Lane, who is the moving spirit of these conferences, is ever alert to make the work as helpful as possible. "Get some plan, some working principle, some improved notion to carry back home and put into execution on your own farm" he repeatedly admonishes the farmers, and he makes sure that the best things are brought to them so that they can take something helpful back home with them.

WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT LUNG-VITA Mr. Etheridge, a Prominent Grocer, Keeps It on Hand
Says It Is a Great Medicine
Mr. J. W. Ethridge, 201 Berry street, a prominent grocer of Nashville, says in his statement to us the other day: "I use Lung-Vita for colds. When I begin taking a cold I then begin to use Lung-Vita and it breaks it up right away. I keep it in the house all the time and would not be without it. I think it is a great medicine."
What do you do when you have a cold or cough? Do you neglect it or do you start in at once to break it? Colds and coughs weaken your system and make it possible for contagious diseases to gain a foothold. Why take these chances? One or two doses of Lung-Vita will cure you and tone your system up.

“THE COLLEGE-TRAINED NEGRO"
Boston, Mass. Feb. 15, That the

delivered by a Bowdoin College
senior should this year have gone to
David A, Lane Jr, a Negro, will not
surprise those who have observed the
recent achievement of this race.
What is particularly —notewortly
about the incident mentioned, and no
doubt contributed , to the winner's
success, was the fact that he chose
no irrelevant and high-sounding sub-
Ject, but a practical topic appro:
priate to the times and to himself,
namely, “The Task of the College:
‘Trained Negro.”
Were all orators as careful to
choose commonsence subjects on

Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 16, '17
SENATOR J. PAKES WORLEY,
THE BLACK MAN'S FRIEND.
Since Senator Worley's speech in
the Senate a few days ago against
woman suffrage, we notice that the
East Tennessee News, printed in
Knoxville, has attacked Senator Worley
and charged that he in that
speech raised the question of "Negro
supremacy" in the South. We know that
our contemporary would not
have made this charge if it had
known the facts concerning the
Senator's speech. If our Knoxville
friend could have heard the speech,
instead of taking garbled reports on
it, he would have written a different
story.
Senator Worley took the high position that he believed that the adoption of double suffrage in Tennessee would ultimately result in friction between our races in the State, from the fact that wherever woman suffrage has obtained for any great length of time, compulsory voting laws have also been enacted. He
stated that the white man in Tennessee wanted the black man to vote just as fast as he qualified himself for the exercise of that privilege; that the white man of the South was the black man's best friend; that notwithstanding the fact that after the Civil War the white man was refused the right to exercise his suffrage and that the black man was permitted to vote, that the white man took the black man by the hand and has continued from that day to this to try to lead him and help him to educate and make his race a better race. This paper wants to say here and now that during Senator Worley's ten years of continued service in the Legislature in Tennessee see he has, by his every act and every vote, upon questions vital to the Negro race, shown himself to be the Negro's friend. Four years ago he was author of an amendment to the appropriation bill which gave our school here a $10,000 educational fund. At another session he was instrumental in accomplishing the treat of proposed legislation which attempted to segregate the Negroes of certain towns in Tennessee, and by a process of law take away from them their property.
We hope that our East Tennessee neighbor, The News, will more carefully investigate Senator Worley's legislative record, and when they do that they will refrain from making such unwarranted attacks upon him as this one.
A MAN'S BIGGEST JOB
The truth is that being the father of a boy is not only a man's job, but it is a man's biggest job. All the other undertakings of life dwindle into insignificance beside this one. No task which man assumes is so difficult, or requires such a high order of deyotion and consacration as the rearing of a boy. The difficulty of it explains why so many men fall in it. A man may be highly successful in business, marshalling the forces of life with masterful ability; he may be able to command love and admiration and friendship and yet fail utterly as a father. Failure may result from incapacity for fatherhood, for many men are born without that divine quality; it may be the result of indifference or neglect, as it frequently is; or it may be caused by unwise indulgence growing out of a parental love. Whatever the cause, many men fall as fathers and are unhappy, and as a consequence many sons become failures to encumber the earth with worthlessness and wretchedness.
But while many a father makes a failure of his job, life is not with out examples of successful fathers. We see them all about us. Nothing
is more inspiring, nothing is more lovely, no phase of life so commands our admiration. Such men are the companions and the confidants of their sons, and it is companionship more than anything else which the father and son banquet emphasizes
There are certain ways to a boy's heart and to a boy's confidence known to the wise. The prudent father will study his boy and learn the way of approach. It is a study to which he can devote a lifetime without learning all there is to be learned about a boy. Human nature is ever perplexing but never more perplexing than as it is manifested in the person of a growing boy. The father of a boy has need of all the wisdom which he is able to command if he is to be successful in his task; he needs to make the training of his boy the chief business of his life, for the time being—he needs to make it something more than incidental or pernitory.
It is good to see the fathers and the sons getting together and becoming better acquainted. Both should profit by the enlarged understanding. Men and boys should be able to find many interests which are common to them. The father will find that his boy is a delightful companion, if he will but take the trouble to draw him cut, and the boy will discover that his father is, after all, a but a boy grown tall, with boyish interests and likings still. The effect will be to raise each in the other's regard and thus make it easier for them to meet in common sympathy and solve the problems which arise out of the relations of their daily life and contact.
It is good for any man to mingle with boys. There is refreshments and stimulation in the contact. If a father would be wise and learned, he will cultivate all boys, and especially his own boys, assiduously, whenever opportunity offers; if opportunity does not offer, he will create opportunities. Only by so doing can he be hope to have any real equipment for a man's most difficult job—the job of being a father.
A GLEAM OF SPRINGTIME.
Beighter than real blossoms are the covers and other illustrations of the seed catalogues now finding their way to our desk. They tickle one lance and arouse the old desires to seize a hoe and rake and dabble with the spongy soil of the garden, seem the tung of burnish brush heaps and listen to the liquid notes of the meadow lark.
We are in receipt of an invitation to the 23rd Annual Ball and Souvenir Reception, Feb. 20th, given by the Hotel Bellmen's Beneficial Association at Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue, New York City. We thank the association for the invitation and assure them of our good wishes, but beg to remind them that the weather is cold, the roads are rough, and it is hard to walk.

Flocks on the pasture, but lo they are sleeping
As the Lord's angel himself is revealing
Sweet is the music that o'er them is
stealing—
Gloria in Excelsis Deo,
Pax hominibus et bene in terra.
Still lies the king both smiling and
dreaming.
Down in the manger and o'er him
is streaming;
Heaven's own light from the angels
descending,
Singing this song majestically blend-
ing—
Gloria in Excelsis Deo,
Pax hominibus et bene in terra.

Which stands undaunted still by time:
Where cataracts leaped from rock to rock.
There dwelt the great immortal Nine.
Their choral hymns are heard no more,
Within great Jove's divine retreat;
No more celestial music's heard
Or stately tread of sandal feet.
No more their lofty brows are seen,
Joyous around the festal board,
Among the gods; an added grace
Where nectar and ambrosia flowed.
And yet upon the sacred mount
Their presence dwell; they are not gone.
Voles are heard in whispering winds
Which tan the brow of Helicon.
And far away beyond the seas,
Beneath the sunny Grecian clime,
Above the clouds on Helicon

ADDRESS OF
MAYOR EWING
DELIVERED SUNDAY AT THE Y. M. C. A. MASS MEETING AT THE RYMAN AUDITORIUM TO 3,000 PEOPLE.
Mr. President and Friends:
"I am here this afternoon at your invitation in my official capacity as Mayor of the City to show my official approval of this movement—but something more than that—to wish it every possible success, to bid it God speed. It is not only my duty but a real pleasure to do this.
"A very large part of the population of Nashville is made up of the members of your race. You are going to be here and it is to the interest of the white race that you should be. You need the co-operation of the white people and they need your presence here. You can build up this community and while doing so become prosperous and happy yourselves. Towards doing so education is a great thing. To help your children acquire this a generous provision is made in city public school matters. Your higher educational institution all and every advance you make is welcomed and taken as a good sign of your capacity, but there is something higher in life than mere book learning and that is your moral elevation. That is what is sought by this movement. I think it is generally admitted that every Young Men's Christian Association in every city in the United States has been an instrument of good. If they have been

beneficial to white boys they can and will be equally so to Negro boys
"You know my friends that perhaps the most dangerous period in life is that between the leaving of school and the time for engaging in the serious work of life. Then it is that temptations most easily beset us. If at this time a boy is shown in a friendly way how he can best spend his time—what is the best path for him to follow, it may mean a future life worth to himself and to his fellow citizens.
"As a rule boys are ready to respond to kind treatment and older people do not do their duty unless this is given.
"In years gone by it was my duty to hold the city court. I know from my experience there how many of the sorrows of life and how many of the evils come from bad beginnings and bad associations. To hang around saloons, to engage in gambling of all kinds surely means that later on something more desperate will be done. Life of a different kind can be made just as pleasant and what we are doing this afternoon is to try and start your boys along the right line and by kind treatment to keep them there. This will mean that they all will become true and better men—better citizens in every way. Your white friends who are taking part in this movement are Christian gentlemen, but they are also men with a knowledge of the needs of boys. They have made these their study and they are actuated by high motives. The building secured is admirably situated and admirably adapted for the purpose. You boys must not get the boys to do anything themselves there—that going there will cut you off from every pleasure. That is far from true. There will be no drinking, no carousing, no gambling, no profanity, these things will not be allowed, but those things don't make up a noble life. There will be chances for study and chances for all kinds of innocent pleasures and these ought to satisfy you.
"I want you to remember that we are your friends—we understand you and you under stand us, but you must not forget that your true advancement is one of the great things not attracting the attention of the world and that you must continue to show that the tromendous advance you have already made is not an accident but the result of a steady and fixed determination on your part to take the place to which proper efforts will entitle you. There are many well disposed rich people in the northern part of our country who are watching you and who will help, but however great the sums of money you have given to the cause they not begin to equal the steady friendship your own people are always showing you, but neither can begin to do for you what you are doing for yourselves.
"You remember what was said to those on the ship at sea who needed water. They were far out but still within reach of water from the Amazon River. They were told to dip down and secure it for themselves, and this you must do. *
"In closing I want every honest father and mother in Nashville to say to their boys to join and give this Association their support, not money but to attend and receive from it what they give to them. * right start on the right path in life. *
The Association has my very best wishes. This day will long he be remembered."
ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH
The St. John Baptist Church was again visited by the Great Jehovah, who on Sunday morning, February 11, 1917, came to the bedside of Bro. Walter Anderson Hudson one of our beloved treachers, and carried him on back in the building to never come out any more until the great Judge comes himself. The funeral service was conducted at the church Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. clock, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Whittaker, assisted by Rev. A. W. Porter, Raven Alonzo Cotton and Rev. Jones. The pastor took for a text, Rev 3.19 as follows: "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer; behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shalt have tribulation ten days. Be then faithful unto death and I will give three a crown of life." Bro. Hudson told the church last Friday night that he was going home back in heaven and that he wanted them to sing and shout and sing loud, which the church did. He was well known in his city and leaves a host of friends to mourn their loss. He is survived by one sister, one nephew and a host of friends to mourn their loss. We, the St. John Baptist Church, wish to thank each and every one for their

To let our voices creep through that external and boundless love of God and ring into their nature. He said for us to ignore freedom would say for us to go down in discecure, but to tail the truth is not enough, but the truth demands action from our preachers, teachers and our laymen. He said, the saddest thing he ever saw, was little Negro boys and girls on their way to church and Sabbath school and after entering the doors, find no one to teach them, but a poor old washman, who was trying to live a righteous life, and the majority of our trained teachers at home, reading novels or playing smut, but these are no slightly remarks of the was woman, but words of encouragement and congratulation. It is a shame, and a disrace on the teacher who fails to attend Sunday school and that host of children meet such, saying in action, give me wisdom, and in it you will give me liberty, but that poor woman does look down in tears in the midst of soap bubbles and says, "such as I have, give I unto thee." My friends this race will remain in ignorance and immorality if it knows nothing of God and his church. I must admit the task is a great one, but the harvest is ripe and laborers are few, and we need to pray the Lord that more laborers come with a Christian education to help with this great harvest. The many that were present enjoyed the program and the boys and girls went to their different homes to await another session to meet with their teacher.

MULBERRY
The colored school of Mulberry of which Mrs. H. E. Mitchell was teacher, closed February 9th. The scholars made a wonderful manifestation, showing much interest, as others in this literary world. Many of the fathers and mothers were present, and those who took part in the program, were Bro. Geo. Berry, his protest was a great one, and his wife corporate with the demand. Mrs. Edia Smith and Mrs. M. L. Reese, the writer, and also the pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. T. Denny, made an incontestible statement, he said, "When he looks back into the volumes of history and only find on those pages, fifty-two years ago when the shackles of slavery fell from four million of our race, I must congratulate you, it is a fact without condition, remarkable progress has been our toes." He said, to tell of the wealth present, schools erected, great men produced, were not the essential things for our consideration at the present time. He said, we are a long ways from the goal, and the path to the goal should be marked with trained minds and experienced knowledge of the many environments, minds free from prejudice, or bias, operated by hearts that would yawn to see the day when every act of the human family would be for the glory of God and the edification of man and liberty. He spoke of the white brethren in their struggle with the British government for liberty. He claimed, the race was not asking for social equality, but a square deal with the courts. The speaker's protest was that we could not reach the climax of our responsibility without a Christian education. The father and mother, the teachers and preachers must realize the fact that our education is not complete until our moral faculties have been developed. Let the unborn generations who never felt the cradle, or its mother's knee, neither saw the brightness of the say, or come into a world of vicitude, feel the wisdom of God

NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 16, 1917.
STATE NORMAL TO PRESENT BIG WESTERN COMEDY MARCH 2. "The Girl from L Ranch" to be presented by a Cast of State Normal Students. It is seldom that a "Thriller" practicable for amateurs combines opportunity for good character portrayal as well as mere incident. "The Girl from L Triangle Ranch," however, is one of those rare vehicles for amateurs which aside from the interest it commands through the plot, allows each member of the cast to make of his part a leading role. The play, although a comedy with a laugh every ten minutes, has a very serious plot which does not permit of any impromptu stage business. In the rehearsals this point has been kept constantly in mind by the director who has left not the smallest detail for the "inspiration of the moment."
Three Acts Completely Staged.
The stage setting requires three outdoor scenes. In Aet I. exterior of the typical Western Hotel and Store, the second a maintain fastness over the Mexican border and the third the L Triangle Ranch. The sets have been painted especially for this production by one of the largest scenic studios of the country. The excellence of the setting enhanced by an elaborate system of electrical efforts ought to render the staging of the play most effective.
Large Cast.
Western life seems never to lose its thrill for us. This is so because the most interesting thing in the world people are a bit different there. The characters of this play are typical of that life, especially near the border.
Those playing parts are:

By the Board of Trade—Names Are
Cheerfully Given.
The Nashville Negro Board of
Trade, through its relief committee
of which Mr. D. Wesley Crutcher is
chairman, has given coal to a large
number of the members of the race
in the city who for one cause or one
other had found themselves without
the necessary means to purchase suffi-
fient fuel. Serving on the committee
were President A. N. Johnson, in
an advisory capacity: Dr. S. W.
Crosthwait, Dr. J. A. Napier, Dr. G.
H. Bandy, Mr. D. R. H. Tabor, Dr. Geo.
E. Haynes, Mr. D. Wellington Berry,
the Secretary, and others.
The committee states that proper account has been kept of every transaction connected with the relief work. Because of the great volume of business which the coal dealers have been doing within the past week or so, much difficulty was experienced by the Board of Trude's

Committee in getting the coal hauled. However, several of the committee volunteered to serve and personally saw that those worthy received their coal.
It was also stated that because of the large number of applications received for help it was necessary to inclitate the work as much as possible and the committee was compelled to call in aid. Accordingly workers were gladly pressed into service from Fisk University, the young men and

WALDEN UNIVERSITY
President White was enthusiastically received by faculty and students Monday morning at chapel hour, on his return from a trip of a week's duration in the interest of the school through the state of Kentucky.
The friends of Bishop and Mrs. L. B. Scott are glad to know they are sufficiently recovered to return to their own home from Humboldt Hospital, where Mrs. Scott remained a few weeks as the result of an operation, and Bishop Scott having taken a severe cold was under the nurse's care for a few days.
Sunday morning, the College congregation attended service at Mentry and heard a strong sermon by Dr. Parker of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Sunday school held its session at 9:30 a.m. and not at the usual time, the noon hour.
Monday night Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Greenlaw were heard in recital at Meharry Auditorium by a company of Walden faculty and students. The recital was of a high order of excellence. Mr. Greenlaw was in good voice and was accompanied by Miss Braden. Mrs. Greenlaw was pleasing in manner, voice and gesture in her readings.

IRVIN C. MILLER TO PRODUCE
BIG REVERIE MUSICAL COMEDY
SHOW.
It seems that every time we turn
around Irvin Miller is continually in the limelight. We wonder if he never tires, and if he is really a man of
them, he must admit, however, that
he is one who is cleverly wedded to
the profession, and does not lose an
opportunity to assist in elevating Negro acts on the stage.
Jack Trotter in his column in the
Indianapolis, Freeman, saxs:
"Irving C. Miller, the playwriting producer has begun preparations for the production of his mammoth wonder show, which will be known as "Broadway Rastus." This show will embrace everything known to the amusement world as "Variety," carrying in its repetitive acts, novels from operatic to the circus. "It will be," said Mr. Miller, "a real realistic reverie of the 1917 Broadway Rastus from Georgia to Broadway New York." There will be two acts and eleven scenes of red hot dance and a riot of song jubilee. Sixteen sensational novelties. Twenty-two peppere musical numbers. Twelve ginger dance features. One original Jas. Band and one troupe of acrobats. Mr. Miller is now in Philadelphia, Pa., at the Standard Theatre, where he is putting the great show, consisting of forty people, through the paces of rehearsal."
What will Irvin do next? He and Miss Esthe B亿eon are acknowled ed to be among the best ten acts in the business. He is a born performer Here's to Irvin Miller, three cheers for him.
THE STAR THEATRE.
This popular movie house is certainly keeping up to the standard. The high policy of the Star has from the start been kept up and the management of the house sees that only high class pictures are shown. Every Monday, Pearl White is seen in The Secret Kingdom or The Secret Kingdom is thrown up on the screen. On Saturdays that popular serial, "The Perils of a Girl Re

"THAT OTHER WOMAN
One of the strongest attractions touring under the banner of the International Circuit this season is "That Other Woman" sponsored by the well known producing firm of Vance and Co., and this sensational domestic drama will be the attraction at the Orpheum Theatre for one week commencing Monday, February 19 with matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The play was written by Lem B. Parker, who has a long list of successful plays to his credit, and this, his latest offering represents his best work.
The play is founded on incidents that happen in every day life, and is not overdrawn in any sense. The story is told to some extent by the title—"That Other Woman," for just this situation has been the cause of discord in many a home and usually results in the complete disruption of what was once a happy household. When will women be rightly recieved by her sister as the greatest of all daughters, and when will she realize that when she has laid down the weapons which brought about the man's sur render and deem them unnecessary to his permantent capacity, that he is facing the same sort of weapons in no less dangerous hands than her own? A case in point has been utilized as the foundation of this great American domestic drama, "That Other Woman," and it brings home a lesson to every man and woman whether single or married. The ex-tion company seen in this production was the most evident, the noted emotional actress who has toured the country in many Broadway successes.

OTHER NOTES AND NEWS OF THE INSTITUTION.
A number of splendid addresses, in which warm words of praise were given State Normal School, were delivered by members of the Tennessee State Legislature upon their visit last week to that noted institution. State Senators, Representatives of the House and prominent educators made up the party. They were on a tour of Tennessee's several State Normal schools.
"We do not feel that the State is making a mistake in spending money to maintain such an institution as the Negro State Normal" was the common expression heard on all sides after the distinguished visitors had inspected every department of the school.
The Legislative party consisted of Senators C. W. Rooks, Chairman; L. B. Matthews; Representatives W. M. Cameron, O. B. Depriest, T. W. Kittrell; Hon. P. L. Harned, President of the State Board of Education; Prof. R. L. Jones, President of the Middle Tennessee Normal School at Murfreesboro; Attorney L. A. Ligon member of the State Board of Education and Dr. C. V. Roman, of this city. Dr. Roman responded to the addresses delivered by these gentlemen most eloquently.
That every member of this committee intends to work energetically and earnestly for the development and continued growth of State Normal was the repeated declarations made and nothing but the highest praise was given to President W. J. Hale for the efficient manner in which he has always conducted the institution. His economy system especially met the most hearty approval of all of the members.
"State Normal must remain unmolested and we are well pleased with the work and management of the institution. We assured President Hale, the faculty and student body that we are deeply interested in your welfare and will lend you every help and encouragement that this splendid work shall continue" was the declaration made.
The delegation was served dinner which had been prepared by the students of the Domestic Science Department, after which they paid a visit to the model dairy barn built by the students and inspected the fine dairy equipment at the school.
President Hale introduced President Harned of the State Board of Education when the students assembled for chapel, and President Harned in turn introduced each of the speakers the last speaker being Dr. Roman with his splendid address of response.

THE PEOPLE'S UNDERTAKING
COMPANY OF PULASKI
Changes Hands-Extensive Improvements Will Characterize the New Firm.
The People's Undertaking Company of Pulaski, Teun., has again changed hands, this time the entire business will be owned and controlled by Dr. J. L. Leach. Mr. L. D. Young, who for so many years has been connected with the business, sold his interest to Dr. Leach, owing to failing health and a desire to change business.
The new firm will continue under the name of the People's Undertaking Company with Mr. W. C. Steward, licensed embalmer, as manager. Mr. Steward is a graduate of the Nashville College of Embalming and halls from Florida. He has been connected with the old firm and will continue in charge for Dr. Leach.
Aside from being a successful undertaker and funeral director Mt. Steward is an accomplished musician and band master. He and a brother of the famous Davis Brothers

Mr. King is one of the best known men in Giles County and he is well trained in the undertaking business and connection with a new firm will mean much to the new business.
Already new barns are under erection for the new funeral cars and live stock to be installed. Mr. Tilldee and Mr. McKissack are the contractors erecting the new barns and garages.

Sunday, February 18 will be "Richard Allen Day" at St. Paul Church. The celebration will begin in the Sunday school when Dr. C. V. Roman will deliver an address on the life and works of Bishop Richard Allen, the pioneer in African Methodism. Special music will be furnished for the occasion.
At the eleven o'clock hour, Bishop Evans Tyre, D. D., M. D., will preach Bishop Tyre is a very popular leader and no doubt there will be a large audience to greet him at this service and hear his message.
Miss Alberta Tyre, who has been quite ill is greatly improved at this writing. The Young People's Progressive Union, of which she is Vice President, surprised her on Tuesday with a "Post Card Shower." Every member of the Union and some friends joined to make the number of cards which she was to receive large.
The revival meeting which has been in progress for the past two weeks conducted by Rev. Mrs. Lunsford of Chicago has come to a close. Sixteen additions were made to the church through this meeting.
THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
Fifth Avenue, South.
Rev. E. W. Hawthorne, D. D., Pastor.
Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. The teachers and pupils are invited to come on time. The Sunday school is truly the church school, or the church at school. The Baptists of the black race are woefully in need of a clear knowledge of the teachings of the Scriptures, as a means of their religious, social and moral development. Therefore we urge that each member of the church come to the Sunday school, and thus be a student in the training department and teaching service of the church.
Religious Service
Preaching at 11:30 a. m., and at 8 p. m., by the pastor. The subject of the morning sermon will be "How Christ Anticipated His Passion." (John 14:30. 31.) The members are urgently requested to make reports on their trips to St. Louis, and be credited for the same. Mrs. Sarah Jones is in lead on the journey. Her report on her trip last Sunday morning put her ninety miles in lead. The church project is that each member is imaginarily walking to St. Louis, and paying the regular railroad rate each way, which is the sum of $17, for the round trip; the novelty is.
who is it that will reach the city first? We are expecting a large report Sunday morning. The subject of the evening sermon will be "Gideon's Army." The pastor promised to deliver the sermon on Gideon's Army some weeks ago but conditions prevented him from delivering the same. Therefore he will deliver the sermon Sunday evening at 8 p. m. The citizens are invited to be present.
An Enterprising Organization
An Enterprising Organization.
An enterprising organization was effected last week among the women of East Nashville, all of whom are members of the Lily of the Valley Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. The organization is a social and industrial organization known as the King's Daughters. This organization will be generally known as a society club which will work in the great social field as it sees fit so to. While the club was effected of the women on the East Nashville, any women of good and regular standing may become a member of the same motto of the club is "Excelon." The club will possibly cover every phase of industry as artistically practiced among women. The club will meet on Tuesday evening of each week. The regular meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. Bertha Batts. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Rachel McCullough; associated president, Mrs. Fannie Bennett; secretary, Mrs. Bertha Batts; treasurer, Mrs. Louise McAfee. The club will hold its next meeting at the home of the president, 730 Winter street.

FAIRFIELD BAPTIST CHURCH
Sunday school was good; after the lesson had been taught by the teacher practical, Sister Elizabeth Fiss, was called to the trout to discuss the topic, which reads "A Spiritual Awakening." Sister Ellis being a teacher of Class No. 4, showed that she had given the Bible a real study and studied that topic to perfection. She began by saying "In the early morning when we are awaken we can see the effect of our awakening and today she explained better the spiritual awakening, and on and on she discussed the topic. The teachers meeting will meet next Friday night at Sister Priscilla Logues, a teacher of Class No. 3.
The topic next Sunday will be discussed by Sister Lucile Christian, the secretary of our Sunday school, who is sitting in Faith." On next Saturday, Brother J. R. Caruthers, superintendent of our Sunday school, will leave for Columbia, Tennessee, where he will first preach for Rev. J. W. Irvine and expects to preach for several of the other brothers before his return.

Darris, will give a reception at the home of Sister Lucie Christman at 2:30 p.m. at 11 a. m. Rev. J. R.

There was a large number in attendance last Sunday with two new scholars added to the school. The lesson was reviewed fifteen minutes by the superintendent, Brother J. A. Turner, also he gave some very important remarks on the work of the teachers and scholars.
The evening service was opened by Rev. J. C. Cresby reading the entire 4th chapter of Hebrews. Song by Bro. James Diggs. Prayer by Rev Jenkins of this city. The Rev. Dr. Whittaker was introduced to the church. After a few preliminary remarks he took for his text St. Mark 13:37, read as follows: "And what I say unto you watch." The Reverend took for his subject "Watch," and preached a strong spiritual sermon on "Watch." Visitors always wel come.

MT. OLIVE BAPTIST
CHURCH NOTES
Quite a large and appreciative congregation was present Sunday morning, and a very instructive sermon was delivered by the pastor, Rev. C. H. Clark, whose discourse was based on "Patriotism and Loyalty," which he used as his text John 4:12, "Art thou than our father Jacob?"
Said he, "This woman of Samaria belonged to a despised sect of the Jews; she was loyal in that she remembered Jacob as their father and to him she endeavored to contribute first honors. But," says he, "all the ideas of religion point to the one religion, that is, no matter how different may be the method of worship, the definite and sole aim is to contribute to that one Holy Being, God. Men sometimes deeds so great that the act is deathless; it lives in the hearts of the millions of his survivors. Jacob was considered a man, the life of whom yet cherished in the heart of this Samaritan woman. Deeds live when time has destroyed everything else that may have been their contemporaries. The highest pinnacle to be reached by man must be started in a man's home. This is true when Jesus is there. Him upon whom we may at all times call. He can tell us all that we have done and will redeem us when we hear, repent and confess. Every man and woman, great or small, rich or poor, may drink of this living well which flows from the throne of grace."
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Sunday, February 11, the Sunday school was well attended, the superintendent, Mr. G. P. Baker, presiding, M. G. E. White reviewed the lesson illustrating the man, the plain and practical truth, number of the male teachers were hurling technical questions at her, but she shrank not but a trained sentiment of intellect forcefully talked everything that came her way. It was one of the best demonstrations that the Sunday school has listened to for quite a white, and many compliments for efficiency were given her.

FUNERAL OF MRS. HICKS
FUNERAL OF MRS. HICKS.
Mt. Pleasant—Quiet and impressive as well as sad was the funeral of Mrs. Nannie Mai Hicks, of this city. Mt. Hicks was better known as Miss Nannie Rhodes, who formally died in Nashville with her father, Mr. R.J. Jones. She was a musical genius, and her personality and was recently married to Mr. Frank Hicks of Mt. Pleasant. She was a bride of only seven months. She died Friday, February 2. The funeral services were held from Jones Chapel A. M. E. Church of this city in order as follows: Music followed by reading of obituary, Mrs. Annie Biffle; duet, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"; Miss Ocei Jordan and Miss Augusta Charter, Resolutions by Jones Chapel Sunday School, read by Pearl Malone, Music by the choir, Sermon, Rev. O. W. Hodge, pastor, who seemingly was at his best, who cultivated the life of the deceased and impressed all with forceful eloquence. Many beautiful and designs were piled upon the bier; the large crowd was out despite the inclementity of the weather. The deceased was connected prominently in their relations: three models ministers of the gospel—J. S. Gilmour, D. D. Columbia; Rev. J. T. Gilmore, D. D. Rev. J. T. Givens, of Cleveland and Pulaski, respectively. The pallbearers were as follows: Messrs. Wm. H. Johnson, Russell Stephens, Otc Glenn, of Columbia; George Stribing, of this city; Mr. Austin Brown.
MEHARRY NEWS
President George W. Hubbard has received notice from the Rockefeller foundation and the Carnegie corporation of an appropriation of $7,500,000 each. The secretary and other representatives of these corporations are expected to visit Nashville the 19th, and to visit the mouth. It is also expected that they will visit Mehary during their stay in the city.
President Hubbard has just returned from a visit to Chicago where he met the Association of the American Medical Colleges. While there he was occasioned to be in an alumnium meeting held at Dr. W. H. Marshall's office. The meeting was indeed a very creditable one and more than a dozen of the alumni were present.
During the very harsh winter the progress on the Anderson Anatomical Hall has been somewhat retarded, but the work will be resumed as soon as the weather permits. The occasion of the cornerstone laying in its building will feature the grounds some time the latter part of March.
The regular monthly services held at the Mehary Auditorium on last Sunday, February 11th, were indeed 'immeasurable in their benefits'. An audience of more than six hundred beard the sermon delivered by Dr. F. S. Parker, editor of the Eoworth Era of the Methodist Church South. We are never without hope that Dr. Parker will come to us again. That his sermon was strong, profound, instructive and interesting is to say the very least.
Another treat to us during the last few days was the visit of the representatives of the Colored Press Association. While no special program was rendered, all the student body was ordered by President Hubbard to the Auditorium. After a few preliminary remarks by President Hubbard, Mr. H. A. B. Aoyd assumed the duties of master of ceremonies. All members of the association were cleverly introduced to the student body by Mr. Boyd and several of them spoke interestingly. Dr. C. V. Roman, at the request of President Hubbard, responded to the short addresses which had been made by members of the press. In the behalf of the faculty he extended to them a most cordial welcome. Here the ceremonies closed and the members of the press headed by Dr. V. M. Marshall were taken through the Dental Department.
On Monday night, February 21th, Mr. Albert E. Greenlaw, basso contante, and Mrs. Greenlaw, who assisted in reading from Dunbar, appeared at Mehray Auditorium. This was a musical treat from beginning to end. The interpretation of the songs, "Mother McChree and Tostis" "Good Bye" showed the audience his great ability. The house was not what it should have been to welcome our guest, the singer was highly pleased and left for Detroit Tuesday morning. Miss M. E. Braden, accompanist, and Dr. V. M. Marshall, master of ceremonies.

the United States. Any such bill would receive the disapproval and adverse recommendation of this department.
Those who are familiar with the history of our country from the armies organized by George Washington in the American Revolution down to the present day know that brave and often conspicuously gallant service has been rendered by colored troops. In the most recent instance, at Carrizal, in Mexico, these colored troops conducted themselves with the greatest intrepidity, and reflected nothing but honor upon the uniform they word.
No one who recalls the glorious acts of patriotism and the daring deeds of bravery performed by the colored troops at Carrizal, members of the Tenth Cavalry, to which Maj. Charles Young (colored), a graduate of West Point, is attached, but will regret and condemn this intemperate and unpatriotic action upon the part of the representative who had the temerity to introduce such a measure, which needless to say, can never be expected to receive serious consideration in or be reported from the committee to which it has been referred.
Mr. Speaker, under leave to extend my remarks, I present the following statement:
The Negro as a Soldier and Sailor. More than a half century ago the martyred Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation that gave freedom to the slaves of America. Immediately following that memorable event the Civil War closed. Within the past few years several appropriate celebrations have been held in commemoration of President Lincoln's noble deed. These events have passed into history and remain dear to the memory of a great people. In every year of the Nation the Negro has his place—in the War of the Revolution, the War of 1812, at Mexico, in the Civil War, the Spanish American War, and the punitive expedition now existing in Mexico. His bravery and loyalty have never been questioned.
His deeds of valor and sacrifice for the honor of the Nation and perpetuity of the Union have been told in song and story. But no monument of marble or bronze has been erected by the Nation nor the race with which he is identified, to be gazed upon by future generations and arouse in them veneration and pride for their heroic ancestry.
A Monument Should Be Erected.
It is quite proper that after these long, long years of seeming neglect a monument should be erected to the memory of the dead heroes of the colored race, who sacrificed their lives upon the altar of their country.
A Page From History—The Colored Soldier and Sailor.
They were found in all branches of the Army. They generally with
8
the white soldiers, Connecticut, however, had one complete company of colored soldiers, and Rhode Island a complete regiment. According to an official report, there were in the Army, under Gen. Washington's immediate command, on the 24th of August, 1778, 775 colored soldiers. It is estimated that there was an average of 35 colored soldiers in each white regiment. This does not appear to include the colored troops furnished by Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. There were altogether about 3,000 colored soldiers. Some of the most heroic deeds of the War of independence were performed by colored men. The first marry in the Boston massacre, May 3, 1770, was Crisp Attic, the Black flag bearer in 1779 in Sao Domingo by Count D'Estaing consisted of 800 young freemen—blacks and mulattoes. At the siege of Savannah on the 9th of October 1779, this legion, by covering the re treat and repulsing the charge of the British, saved the defeated American and French Army from annihilation.
A large number of colored sailors were in the Navy during the War of 1812. It is estimated that one-tenth of the crews that manned the vessels on the Great Lakes were colored. They served faithfully in all the battles of the Great lakes, and their service was very effective service. In the celebrated picture of Perry's victory on Lake Erie is seen a colored sailor.
Gen. Andrew Jackson, September 21, 1814, issued a call to the free colored men of Louisiana to enlist. As a result 500 of them were organized into two battalions. These battalions distinguished themselves in the Battle of New Orleans. The Legislature of New York, October 24, 1814, authorized the raising of two regiments of men of color. As a result, 2,000 colored men were enlisted and sent forward to the Army at Sackets Harbor. One hundred and seventy-eight thousand nine hundred and seventy-five colored soldiers were enlisted in the War of the Rebellion. The first colored regiments to be organized were the First South Carolina, in which the first enlistments were made May 9, 1862; the First Louisiana Native Guards, September 27, 1862; the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, February 9, 1862; the Second Carolina Volunteers, February 23, 1863.
July 28, 1866, Congress' passed a law that colored regiments should be a part of the Regular Army. The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth, and Forty-first Regiments of Infantry were organized, March 3, 1869, a consolidation act was passed, and the Thirty-eighth and Forty-first were reorganized as the Twenty-fourth Regiment of Infantry; the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth, were reorganized as the Twenty-fifth Regiment of Infantry. The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry won the reputation of being the best Indian fighters on the frontier.
At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898 the four-colored regiments were among the first troops ordered to the front. Here again they won great distinction by their bravery and daring. Colored soldiers took a more conspicuous part in the Spanish-American War than in any previous war waged by the United States. At the first battle in Cuba, Las Guasimas, the Tenth Cavalry played an important part by coming to the support of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and the Infantry Fliers. The Twenty-fifth Infantry took a prominent role in the Battle of El Caney, The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth Infantry rendered heroic service in the famous Battle of San Juan Hill. 1. It appears from the official records that the following named volunteer organizations, afflicced wholly or in part by colored men, served in the War with Spain:
Third Regimen Alabama Infantry
Eighth Regiment Illinois Infantry
Companies A and B, First Regiment
Indiana Infantry
Company L, Sixth Regiment Massacuschus Infantry
Twenty-third Regiment Kansas Infantry.
Third Regiment North Carolina Infantry.
Ninth Baltimore Ohio Infantry.
Sixth Regiment Virginia Infantry.
Seventh Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry.
Eighth Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry.
Ninth Regiment United States Vol
Ninth Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry.
Tenth Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry.
2. According to the latest compilation, the number of colored volunteer troops in the service of the United States during the War with Spain was 10,189. This number does not include the four colored regiments of the Regular Army, which had an average strength of 3,328 enlisted men during the calendar year 1888.
The enlisted strength of the four colored regiments of the Regular Army on February 28, 1889, near the date of the close of the War with spain, was 3,339 men."

GOOD QUALITY NEEDS NO IN
PROTECTION OR TESTING
By Mme. Mayme Lucas Rose
I must indeed thank the good people of the city of Nashville for their hospitality and speedy relief to those very unfortunate girls so inexperienced and untrained left upon the mercies of the public at large to be so scified and criticized. I can draw a picture in my mind of those perfect gentleman in the persons of Messrs. J. P. Rhines, E. W. D. Isaac, Jr. D. W. Crutcher, T. Clay Moore and D. W. Wellington Berry, who like brave soldiers going to the rescue of their country, came to the rescue of their Afro-American women. Would to God that there were more such men all over the country, and God be praised for them.
I look with pride and my heart leaped for joy to know Nashville afforded such great men, and as over the country I go. I shall laud and praise the community of this beautiful city, especially the members of to Board of Trades. As I have formerly said, my heart knew no bounds to see these men with so much race pride displayed. There was a damper of dismay thrown over the situation as I thought of those rascales who intrigued upon the intelligence of the delightfully expectant audience when they knew they had no show to come up to their advertisement, nor would get real artists paraphernalia or scenery. And to keep the affair from completely failing, they had no pianist nor singer, so they fooled us up to thinking everything was arranged differently and secured Miss Simms and me to come here to hold it up enough to get the money. Or course he was not alone, that is clearly seen. I don't believe an Arte-American gentleman even lost time to sit and try to criticize this company of unfortunate as I saw in the Globe last week. (Read between lines.)
I want to state to the people of Nashville, don't think of my feeling badly over this show, for it was entirely trained and managed by other parties in person of Fields and Clark. My money was advanced by contract. I did not even see the show and tried hard to train the girls something different to make a little better showing. We are all alike to mistakes, and one never knows until I tries out a proposition. Experience is the best teacher after all. My show has never been called "Octoonsons" and the whole billing matters surprised me when I got here, as well as the show. (This is not my show under my training. My show disbanded in the city of Louisville and some went their way, while others stayed, and I was coaxed into letting my title be used with a contract of $100 per week, which I cancelled after some fraudulence and we compromised in time to come to be made a victim of circumstances. You, the people of Nashville, have never seen any of Mine Rose's productions, which have been said by all observers to be "very good," and I took forward to a future day to convince you.
My most embarrassing moment was caused by one of the city's most promising colored gentlemen (?) much to my disgust. Having been a little upset probably heretofore, he displayed his volumes of temper upon two innocent women. Miss Simms and I had been granted water for several days, so we decided to seek some to drink. Having previously met the gentleman, we thought it no more than right as he owned the building, to ask of him a pitcher of water. I knocked on the side door and was told to enter; a little embarrassed as I saw all strange men. I apologized and stayed my mission. We were told to have a seat by the fire until the very gallant youth returned with the water, and he had no more than gotten on the place before the Big boss entered and asked us what we were doing in his private office, which was done unstealthy, and drove us out like we were even worse than dogs. I really could not have treated a caunne like he treated us. Before we could recover from this shock, such showers of oats toward all concerned were rained, and we had to dodge to keep from being dinged out. I knew him to be a Mason, and tried to explain but he ran out to call an officer and yet I thought he would soon be over it and wanted to leave as I had enered—"a lady." And defy any man in or out of Nashville to say otherwise. But he would not hear so I looked down at my Star and especially the point Eustich which represent, and walked out in disgust with a heavy heart over such bruta treatment as I had never before witted.
"Judge ye no for fear ye be judged with the same judgment." Ye have each a just God to face. First search your own heart and look not unwise or with disdain upon your brother or sister. Be every ready to teach and help, Morals, Love and Unify. Doing good to others and helping your fallen brothers should bb our motto as Christian. Again be me thank a part of the Board of Trade with God speed. Yours truly,
MRS. DR. H. C. ROSE,
Dubuque, Iowa.

MR. McGAVOCH OUT.
The many friends of Mr. W. H. McGavock, the popular undertaker and President of the Boosters Club of Nashville will be pleased to know that he is out again after an illness of about three weeks. Mr. McGavock has so identified himself with the leading movements of racial interest in the city that when absent from his place of business he is very greatly missed by his many friends and business associates. During his illness his widely and extensively patronized business was conducted by his accomplished wife, Mrs. W. H. McGavock and brother Mr. Rufus Duncan.
MRS. L. B. SMITH LAID TO REST. IMPRESSIVE CERONIEMES. SHE WAS WIDELY KNOWN IN FRA TERNAL CIRCLES.
Dickson, Tenn., Feb. 14.—The people of Dickson were sorry indeed to learn of the death of Mrs. Lizzie Smith of Allen Creek, Tenn. She was very popular in both places. Mrs. Smith has lived at Allen's Creek ior a number of years. She was well known among the business people, the churches and also the lodges. Mrs. Smith had apparently been in good health until one week of her death. She died of pneumonia, February 3rd, which was a shock to every one. Mrs. Smith was brought to Dickson and her remains were laid in state at St. James A. M. E. Church until Tuesday evening, from which place the funeral was preached next day at 2 p. m. by Elder R. Vann and assisted by Rev. W. A. Lewis. The choir sang beautifully, "Safe in the arms of Jesus" and "Beautiful isles of somewhere, and Mrs. L. M. Dunn also sang solemnly and sweetly "Some day the silver chord will break. Mrs. Smith was a member of the Eastern Star, the Court of Calan the and the Order of the Mysterious Tens, Mrs. Smith leaves a husband mother, five sisters, six brothers, two sons and two daughters and a host of friends to mourn her loss.
STATE NORMAL
The unofficial report of the legislative educational investigation committee made after its visit to the State Normal School for Negroes at Nashville, presided over by W. J. A. Hale, formerly of this city, attests in the amplest terms the value of the institution as a part of the educational system of the state. "The committee" we are told, "expressed gratified surprise at the manner in which the school was being conducted and eache member declared it to be the best investment the state had ever made for the advancement of the well-being Negro." There is no reason for surprise over what the committee found. No man in the state appreciates more thoroughly that W. J. Hale, the president of the institution, the value of industrial and vocational training of the Negro, and he has been instan enthusiastic to the point of fanatical fervor in his efforts to interest the better and more intelligent classes of his race to take advantage of the training offered at this school. He has 531 students, and we may be sure that they are "selected" as far as they is possible to have "matured." President Hale doesnot want any students or inappropriate students at the institution; so that those who finally "stick" are in earnest in their desire to learn, not only fr mbooks, and we may be sure that they are "selected" as far as they is possible to have "matured." There is no maudliness and sentiment about Hale; he knows the negroity about Hale; he knows the strong points and his limitations, and he realizes the necessity of teaching them how to become a productive citizen of a leech or a parasite. We venture to say that there is a genuine good sense taught the negroes at the Tennessee school than any in other in the South. Nothing is wasted on the impossible; time and energy are spent in teaching those things that will be useful accomplishments in how to get along with the whites so as to avoid all possible fried or ill-feeling. The graduate from this school] find little difficulty in securing profitable employment, and to the credit of the school, few of them have ever brought any discredit upon the institution or abused the privileges their training affords them. Let us hope that there will be abide lute sympathy on the part of the committee for this work and that ample means will be provided President Hale for carrying it on along the same, broad-gauge and constructive lines he has adopted.—From the Chattanooga Times, February 11, 1917.
The legislative educational investigation committee spent Friday in investigating the Negro Normal near this city and the members of the committee seemed well satisfied with prevailing conditions. The committee was accompanied by Prof. P. L. Harnell, president of the state board of education, and Pro. L. A. Ligon, a member of the board; Supt. S. W. Sherrill and Rural School Supervisor Smith
The members were shown over the school buildings, dormitories, farm and all of the different departments of the school. They found that the school was being run in a thorough and systematic way by President Wm. J. Hale and that the school was managing to keep within the appropriation for the running expenses. One of the features of the school that struck the members most forbly was the fact that they were managing to feed all of their students at a cost of $9 per month; also that a large portion of the food furnished was raised on the school farm.
The visitors were entertained by the domestic science class of the school and the dinner consisted of things that were raised on the farm. During the serving of the dinner they were entertained by the singers of the school, including three different male quartets and school choruses. The class raams, manual training department, domestic science and all of the departments were given the examination by the committee and each met with the approval of each member of the committee. They all expressed themselves as being surprised at the manner in which the school was being operated

and each said it was the greatest investment for the benefit of the Negro race that the state had ever made.
It was found that the enrollment of the school was 551 students, of which 225 were boarders. The dormitory and 66 rooms and a large number of students are cared for here. Some of the students are boarding outside the dormitory, but taking their meals at the dining hall.
The committee went over the books of the institution that were thrown open for their inspection by President Hale.—From the Nashville Tennessean and American, February 10, 1917.

PLAIN TALKS.
By John D. Barry.
Of late I have been hearing stories about the Japanese that might be considered alarming. They really are alarming, not because they are true, but because so many persons are ready to believe themmwtwe art ready to give them belief. The Japanese are preparing to make themselves masters of the Pacific. They hate Americans. Some day they will descend in hordes upon this part of the world. If we are not prepared to drive them back there is no knowing what horrors may be in store for us. The stories are very interesting. They help to make lively discussions. Any one who tells us can quickly become the central figure of a group. Offhand it appears to prove they are true. They sound curiously like open alarming stories that come out of suspicion and fear. They are dangorous on account of the state of mind they develop in the country and on account of the effect they are bound to make on the Japanese them selves.
When I ask one of the alarmists what he thought the real cause of the mistrust was he quickly replied:—"The pride of the Japanese." "They feel that we regard them as inferior people on account of the color of their skin. And they don't propose to be considered inferior."
That little talk made me do some thinking on the subject of color prejudice. What a mystery it was, full of contradictions! What was there about the white skin that made it better than any other kinds of skin? As a matter of fact, most white persons were not really white. They were pink. There was such a thing as being too white, according to our belief, of the pallor that suggested ill health. If whiteness was such a fine thing, the dead white and the blondes close to whiteness might claim superiority. But they really don't. There were dark persons among the white, so dark as to me curiously like persons of color, and they didn't suffer from prejudice. So far as color was concerned itself, no one ever thought of putting the white forward as intrinsic superior. It was a popular color, to be sure, but no more popular than many other colors.
Strong as it is, however, the day is surely coming when color prejudice will decline. Already in this country there' signs of change. With increasing prosperity of the Negroes are winning more respect. When Negro millionaires become frequent it will be hard for most whites to look down on them. They will be torn between their contempt for color and their awe before wealth. And as for others with color, like the Japanese and the Hindus, it is plain enough now that the prejudice against them is absurd. Observe the Hindus as they walk about the streets. That fine types many of them are, of great personal beauty, brilliant dark eyes, rich hues in the skin. When we speak of the Japanese, whether we are friendly or unfriendly, our words show that we recognize them as a great people. Suppose, instead of cultivating suspicion of them, we were to consider what they had to teach us. Suppose, instead of preparing to fight them, we should prepare to win the mover as friends. What kind of preparedness would be more advantageous in then end?—New York Telegram.

but we're good enough for man!"
It's "woman's clothes," and "woman's ways," her hats, her heels, her walk!
It's "woman, woman, woman!"—and I'm tired of the talk.
It's the woman with the serpent's tongue, when poets wield the all,
Or "the female of the species" far more deadly than themale!
Pshaw It's woman this and woman that! "The woman tempted men!"
But it's "Oh, forgive me, angel!" when they're walking from a spree.
It's the "mannish, modern woman" or the "silly, frilly one."
But it's "God bless home and mother" when they want their cooking done.
Now, we aren't all plaster angels, and it's lucky that we're not.
As long as we must live with men (a rather earthly lot).
well, don't you think we still should be quite good enough for you? Oh, it's woman this, and woman that, and let's reform her quick! But it's "ministering angel" when they are down and out and sick. It's woman here, and woman there, and "Ware the sirene's snare!" But if man gets into heaven 'twill be woman that got him there." —Exchange.
