The Sunday School Congress Meets In Nashville June 13 to 18, 1917 NASHVILLE GLOBE. CAUSES OF NEGRO MI- GRATION FROM SOUTH ADDRESS DELIVERED BY DR. W. T. ANDREWS, OF SUMTER, S. C. Negro Labor Ill Paid--Jim Crowed and Segregated--Lack of School Facilities--Dr. Andrews Gives Some VOLUME XII. CAUSES OF GRATION ADDRESS DELIVER ANDREWS, OF Negro Labor Ill Paid--Jim Cree School Facilities--Dr. Rea Rev. Carroll, president of the Race Conference, has requested me to submit some observations touch- ing the present movement of Negroes away from the South to other portions of the United States and the causes of the movement. The causes of this movement are far too many and stretch over too lengthy a period to be covered in a brief discussion. I shall, therefore attempt to recite some of those which I conceive to be the most deep seated and far reaching and in doing so I feel that they should be submitted with perfect frankness and thorough directness, yet without bitterness or rancor. I feel deeply, more deeply than I can express the seriousness of this Negro migration and approach its discussion as a duty and in furtherance of that duty shall "nothing extenuate nor aught set down in malice." In my view the chief causes of Negro unrest and disturbance of mind are as follows: The destruction of his political privileges and curtailment of his civil rights. No protection of life, liberty and property under the law; insufficient wages to the laboring classes with which to buy the necessities of life; Jim Crow car, residential and labor segregation laws; no educational faculties worthy of the name for the education of the Negro children in most of the Southern states. These I believe, are the most potent causes which are now impinging the Southern Negro to seek employment and find homes in Northern and Western sections of the country. I shall endeavor to discuss them in brief detail. These causes date back practically to the day of the Negro's emergence into freedom. Then the former slave was a pauper, the former master impoverished; the former slave was forced to labor for such wage as the former master was able or would pay. With the same patience and faithfulness exhibited as a slave the Negro began life as a slave to learn upon the very threshold of freedom that he was remanded by law, designated as the "Black Code," to a condition worse than the slavery from which he had just been released. Then came enfranchisement, given to him in the hope and belief that armed with the attributes and munitions of citizenship he would be able through their power and influence, as is the case with all other citizens of the Republic. to protect himself. Its possession was brief and acco compiled with violence, and the most serious shock and disturbance of the Negro's content came when the suffrage was rudely and violently wrested from him, his political rights destroyed, his civil rights menaced, restricted and repressed to a limit as extreme as the federal constitution permits. In South Carolina and, I believe it to be equally true of the eastern state, except those classed as "border states," statute after statute has been passed to curtail the rights of the Negro, but in not a single instance can a law be pointed to which was enacted for the purpose of enlarging his opportunity, surrounding himself and his family with the protection of the law, or for the betterment of his condition. On the contrary every law passed relating to the Negro has been passed with the intent of controlling his labor and drawing his circle of freedom into smaller and smaller compass. Senators and representatives from the South for several years have bodily and openly begun an institution in Congress for the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution for the avowed purpose of years been loud and frequent in exercising complete control of the Negro. These same men have for their abuse of the Negro some of them carry their message of hate and prejudice into every state where it had not already a healthy growth and perfection. Although eliminated from politics in the South, the Negro is more in evidence in Southern politics than when he enjoyed the franchise in fullest freedom; he is a, live and stirring issue; in every primary campaign, politicians, from magistrate to the United States senator, appeal to the white electorate upon their record of hostility, to the Negro or their schemes for keeping him in his place and crushing his aspiration to measure up to the requirements of America civilization and progress. It is amazing how enlightened men can so bitterly denounce a helpless people and stir to the depths the fires of racial hatred and yet when it suits their purposes declare that they, and they only best friend. It never seems to occur to such men that the Negro understand the Negro and are his might possibly understand himself to some slight degree and like other races, is usually able to pick his friends even though those friends do not make known their friendship by noisy protestations. The men in whose hands the reins of government are placed lead, and probably control, the sentiments of the people who elevated them to power and the sentiments built up year by year by such men and set in motion by abuse and denunciation of the Negro have revived the dictum of the Dredd Scott decision that "a Negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect." It has created in the mind of the white man the believe that in his relation with the Negro he is a law unto himself. His will is law and the Negro must bend to it or be broken by it. In the courts and unwritten law exists that the testimony of a Negro shall not be given weight against the word of a white man, most especially in causes between white men and Negroes or when a white man may be convicted upon such testimony. In the rural districts the Negro is not only at the mercy of the lawless white individual citizen be equally at the mercy of the rural police, magistrates' constables and the magistrate. There is hardly a record in modern history of great er oppression by judicial officers than dealt to the Negro by a large majority of the magistrates and other officials who preskle over the inferior courts of South Carolina. The most approved hours for making arrests of Negroes charged with misdemeanors, are between ten o'clock at night and two or three o'clock in the morning, when the constable with several assistants will storm the Negro cabin, drag the accused out of bed, perhaps beating him into insensibility if he is slow or subborn in submitting to arrest. In towns and cities, as a rule, mayors' and recorders' courts are mills for grinding, out Negro convicts; Negroes charged with petty effences are brought into these courts, convicted and sentenced with lighting speed, before they even realize that they are on trial unless they are able to hire attorneys, whose fees often equal the fine that would be imposed. They are beaten at will by arresting officers, frequently shot and many killed if attempt is made to escape by running from the officer, and for any such shooting officers are seldom put to the inconvenience of trial, even it the victim die. in tragic truth it must be con- fidence that ther is in the South South California, most certainly, no protection for the life or person of any Negro of waterier standing, sex, or age against the extent of the bloody minded white man. NEGRO LABOR III PAID Negro labor in most of the Southern states, especially in the agricultural districts, is so poorly paid that the wage earned is insufficient buy for the labor and his family the indispensable necessities of life. There is nothing to lay by for "a happy day" nor for the purchase of a house and ordinary comforts; no stimulus to develop greater efficiency and to improve their condition and as a consequence habits of indifference, lightness and heedless spending of the little so hardly earned are entailed. During the past year and a half throughout the entire country the cost of every item necessary to the sustance and maintenance of life has advanced in cost from fifty to a hundred per cent, thus reducing the purchasing power of a dollar. As a consequence every class of labor has been granted an increase in wages except the Negro in the South. And still he is charged with being inactive (Continued on Page 6.2).

Kinzer in Charge of Campaign The "Young Men's Literary Club" and the "Y. M. C. A. Tract Team" are progressing rapidly and they are now beginning their spring work. The club has been organized about three years and has two departments which are the Literary and Tract Team department, which is the "Y. M. C. A. Tract Team." The captain of the Tract Team is Mr. A.

Buchanan is the clever secretary and reporter. They are trying all in their power to bring the club to greater success and we think that they will succeed and later on they may become a force in the community.

WELL KNOWN NEGRO SCHOOLS MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL BOARD VISIT MEHARRY AND FISK Visitors Entertained At Hermitage Hotel By Drs. George W. Hubbard and Fayette Avery McKenzie--Two Days Spent Here As a prelude to what might be expected in the not far distance, a few members of the georgian educational board, the Russell Sage Fund and representatives from other philanthropic organizations spent two days in Nashville, and persistent rumor has it they were well pleased with what they saw. Drs. George W. Hubbard, of Meharry Medical College, and Fayette Avery McKenzie, of Fisk University, entertained them, showing an educational center, but its future prospect as the metropolis of the South. An item of interest about the meeting was clipped from the Nashville Tennessee and American of Tuesday morning, which says: "The conference will close tomorrow with a discussion of the advisability of considering extension of the work of the development of industrial training in schools in small cities and towns. "In discussing the general board's latest donation to Fisk, Dr. Butterick remarked that people often wonder why the board gives so much to the Negro schools, when as a matter of fact the Negro schools are not given more than their share. "As an indication of the way the money is divided, I need go no further than right here in Nashville," he said. "Peabody and Vanderbilt have received from the Rockefeller foundation $200,000." "That Nashville appreciates the two leading Negro schools and, too, that it appreciates Dr. Holbard, who has spent fifty-two years in building Mr. Barry College to what it is today was demonstrated fully. It was fully demonstrated that the schools throughout the country by the masters of the general education board who declared that Nashville from every viewpoint is the ideal location for them. It was pointed out that during all the years there has never been the slightest friction between the white and Negro schools, and that always they were in perfect harmony, without that cooperation, without the unity of spirit in Nashville there could not have been the success that they have attained; Fisk could not point to the fact that less than one-half of one per cent of its graduates are unemployed; Mebarry could not show that intimative per cent of its graduates today are practicing their professions. That degree of success could not have been attained. "The members of the general education board, Dr. Hanus, and Dr. Jenes, will remain in Nashville today and tomorrow for further conferences with the rural agents with the Negro schools of the south. Yesterday the conferences were held at the Hermitage Hotel. Today they will be held at Peabody. "Yesterday the topics under discussion were, 'County Training Schools' and 'Summer Schools.' Today the topics will be 'Possible Co-operation With Church and Private Schools in the General Program of the State of the Training of Teachers,' and 'The Home Makers' Clubs.' NUMBER 17 OWN GRO SCHOOLS THE GENERAL BOARD BERRY AND FISK Rmitage Hotel By Drs. George W. Avery McKenzie--Two Days ment Here "The conference will close tomorrow with a discussion of the advisability of considering extension of the work of the development of industrial training in schools in small cities and towns." "In discussing the general board's latest donation to Fisk, Dr. Butterick remarked that people often wonder why the board gives so much to the Negro schools, when as a matter of fact the Negro schools are not given more than their share. "As an indication of the way the money is divided, I need go no further than right here in Nashville" he said. "Peabody and Vanderbilt have re-collected the Rockefeller foundation $1,500,000 and from the Carnegie fund $1,200,000. Romely it was seen that $150,000 will be needed to rehabilitate the buildings of Fisk. There was $50,000 donated from the Rockefeller fund. The Carnegie foundation gave another $50,000, and the president of the school will raise the remaining $50,000. At the meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary, which was held in the new headquarters of the Y. M. C. A. last Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, the room was crowded with public-spirited women who are desperately in earnest about the permanent establishment of adequate association facilities for the Negro men and boys of Nashville. Mrs. Clemence White, the chairman, presided at the meeting. Expressions of encouragement were heard from Miss Nanit Perkins and Jones, Madeline M. C. Napier, S. J. Baldon, H. A. Boyd, M. H. Flowers, H. A. Boyd, Mattie Coleman n. J. D. Chavis, Wilson. The roll of the captains was called and the places of persons who could not served were filled by the following: Mrs. Rachel McCullough, Madams M. R. Perry, G. H. Bandy, Rufus Cage, Marie Chadwell and Malissa Caruthers. Receipt books and pledge cards were given out to each captain present. The most important item for consideration came up for consideration—the Sunday for the rally, and the plans for making it effective. March 18 at 3 p. m. was agreed upon. Miss Morgan and Mrs. Arch Trawick it was agreed would be invited to address the meeting. The invitation committee was appointed consisting of Mrs. D. Wellington Berry, Mrs. Cora J. White and Miss Minkle B. Stavin. Invitations are to be extended to the various schools, both public and private. Appropriate music will be selected for the occasion. This meeting will be held in the dining room of the new home of the colored Y. M. C. A., which is located on the corner of Fourth avenue, N. Pearl Celer street, and will probably be one of the most effective meetings of its kind held in this city. A more enthusiastic group of ladies have not assembled to perform a plan of public service than these present at the initial meeting Friday. It will be recalled when this organization made reports at the Ryman Auditorium that it was a little less than two weeks' old, and had not been called together to outline plans for work. That they should have worked by more than $80 was one of the most agreeable surprises of the cadre Auditorium meeting. It appears that a most remarkable record is going to be made by the ladies' auxiliary. The ladies' auxiliaries of other leading associations will be consulted to determine what, in the light of the experience of others, it will be possible for the Nashville auxiliary to do. The feeling seems to be pretty general that what others have done Nhsalliveke what others have done, Nashville can do and more. DEATH OF MRS. GEO. W. CLARGE, Hopkinsonville, Ky.—All that was mortal of the late Mrs. George Warre el Clark was held to rest here last Sunday afternoon.

FURNISHED BY NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Following the announcement last fall that the National Negro Business League had invited Local Leagues to hold Trade Boosting and Advertising Campaigns, a number of cities, including Savannah and Macon, Georgia; Dallas and Waxahachie, Texas; and Fort Smith, Arkansas, under took to conduct such campaigns. Similar campaigns have been held in Philadelphia, New York, Atlanta, Georgia; and Nashville, Tennessee. *** Ranoke, Virginia, is stated to have one of the best equipped and most beautiful Negro Theatres in the South. It is called the Hampton Theatre in honor of the Hampton Institute. Mr. Tiffany Toliver is president of the Hampton University, which is composed of successful colored business and professional men. *** The Fayetteville Coffin and Casket Company of Fayetteville, North Carolina, is capitalized for $50,000, a large part of which has already been paid in. This corporation is composed of successful colored undertakers of North Carolina. * * * William H. Bright, a member of the Boston Negro Business League, has recently opened a Hardware and Kitchen Furnishing store at 934 1-2 Tremont Street, Boston, Mass. Mr. Bright's wares consist, among other things, of window shades, gas burners, mantles, chimneys, tin, enameled, brass and glass ware, and crockery. This is a unique business enterprise, being the first and only one of its kind, it is said, conducted anywhere in New England by a colored man. Announcement that the National Negro Business League has started a nation-wide campaign to advertise Negro business enterprises, with a view to their better support by colored people, comes at a time when they are awakening to a consciousness of increasing economic importance. Since the days of emancipation, the bulk of the race has remained in the South under economic and social conditions which have changed but slowly. The accepted basis of society has kept in the hands of the white man storekeeping and the professions, confining the Negro to tennant farming and unskilled labor. Gradually, such schools as Tuskegee, Calhoun, and a host of others have built up an ever-increasing body of men and women skilled in trades and trained to the use of the initiative and independent thinking. Fully aware, they saw this force coming breaking through the system in isolated cases, the process being stimulated by the League founded by the late Booker T. Washington some fifteen years ago. The policy has been twofold, encouraging the individual pioneers by organization and educating the race out of the tradition that only the white man was qualified to engage in trade Now that the labor shortage has forced the large employers of the country to look more to the South for unskilled and semi-skilled workers, the Negro is becoming more conscious of his importance industrially. One indirect effect should be to make the League's campaign more fruitful than if it had been launched at less opportunity time. And the movement seems to be actuated by the right point of view. "These campaigns are not organized in any spirit of ammunition to merchants of other" says the ammunition but for the sole purpose of advertising the existence of the Negro merchant."

To the Editor of the Nashville Globe, Anent certain articles appearing in the Public Press, of Nashville, and also arguments and conversations both pro and con, regarding certain color charitable organizations, etc. I deem that I am due the public an explanation regarding the Porter's Union No. 1, which I am head, the original founder and withal the "Head and Shoulder" of this organization. The reason I see this is that especially in the Public Press some days ago there was an articulation condemning certain colored organizations, insinuating that certain funds solicited by them were misappropriated etc., naming among these organizations the Porter's Union. No. 1. I pretend to know nothing of the other charitable organizations mentioned but I do wish to say that in March 1913, through my efforts this Order was granted a charter under WE OFFER thoroughly good and reliable bells with rich, clear and affar-reaching tones at very low prices.

Section No. 2513 of Shannon's Code as follows: "The support of any benevolent or charitable undertaking—as a lodge of 'dons' Odd Fellows, Hospital for the sick. House of refuge or correctionphan asylums and all objects of like nature. The particular purpose for which this charter was granted are set out on the face of the document." the same as follow: "The mental aid and benefit of the Porter's of Nashville, and Tennessee, and all who are eligible to membership under the Rules, Regulations and By-laws of this corporation. The purpose is to care for the poor and indigent of any of the Negroes who are in good standing, have paid the dues of the Union, compiled with the By-laws and all the necessary requirements of this body. If there is any suspicion in the minds of any one that I have not complied with the purposes of this charter I now and forever invite them to call at our lodge hall at 415 12 Fifth Avenue N., where I will with pleasure show them the records of this Order dating from the time the charter was granted until the present time. I want to say further that such an organization in Nashville, as far as I have been able to learn, was unknown until through my efforts and solicitation this order was created. Since then numerous other organizations have sprung up calling themselves various names and for various purposes of which I pretend to know nothing. But if any of them have erred it his not been through any conduct of mine for the Porter's Union No. 1 is the only one of which I am connected, and I stand ready to answer for the debt, default or miscarriage of this Order as long as I remain president. As I said in the beginning the books, documents and all records of whatever records of this Order are as an open book to the Public, and if there is anyone who hears of any misappropriation of funds or any acts of omission in the discharge of the duties of this Order I will consider it a personal favor if they will let me know that I may have the same rectified. In conclusion I wish to state that as usual and as long as I control the duties of this Order the Christmas Committee will be active in soliciting and distributing funds and provisions for the indigent Negroes of this city.

It would seem that there could be very little difference in environment and training. We know that the boy who went to the country school teacher was subject to floggings for breach of discipline and there was no protest from the parents. On the contrary most of them who were subject to discipline in school received a like quota on returning home. This seems to be the main difference between the boy of the old time and the present generation. We have heard of numerous illustrations during the past two or three years in the city schools wherein teachers who sought to discipline their pupils were held up to abuse by the parents and protests made to the school board. When a boy gets into a school scrap we found that instead of taking the part of the boy and trying to lick the teacher, the most helpful thing in the world is to assume that public sentiment and the teachers were about right; and having reached this satisfactory conclusion, the proper, graceful and courteous thing to do is to take said young man by the collar, conduct him to the woodshed where his mother would not hear our exchange of confidence, and then proceed, with a rusty strap of leather, to argue him out of some of the natural cussedness that we knew was an inheritance from his dad. "The boy who can persuade his dad to take his side in the average school scrap knows that this old man is tasy. knows his father has no control over him, and in his heart has a secret contempt for his father's authority. The normal boy who has run with other boys has a fine respect for two human beings. One is for the boy who can beat him up in a fair fight and the other is for the father who conscientiously obeys the paternal law of Solomon. A mother who takes her son's part is justified in the Public Mind on the ground that she is merely following the impulse of primitive mother instinct; but the father who rushes to the defense of his son every time the lad has trouble in school, as a rule receives no sympathy from the public to his face, and gets criticism "behind his back." "The average man wishes his boy to have a good education, to make the most of his opportunities, and grow up to be a gentleman in behavior. The average man will back the teacher in 'disciplining' his boy. What the average man wants' from the school is results. The average healthy boy is never hurt by hard study. A good many of him is mentally lazy. The teacher needs the backing of the father when it becomes necessary to 'hear down' on the boy. "Here is a fine example of his coordination between teacher and parent: A town boy, behind in school work, explained he had too many chores to do outside of school to do any home study. The teacher asked the father about it, and the father, who knew the boy had the heavy work of feeding a horse or two and carrying in the night's wood and emptying the garbage pail, said he would see to the matter. So he went home and had a heart to heart talk with the boy and wound up with substantially the following sentiment: "Now, son. I will attend to the horses, get in the wood and kindling, bring the water' and carry out the ashes. I want to do my part toward assisting you to get an education. On your part you will cut out standing on street corners after school hours, and put your skates in charge of the little toy dog that on 'the mantel stands, while Little Boy Blue will devote all the time necessary, outside of regular sleeping and eating hours, to memorizing the words old Caesar used in telling how his soldiers won the bridge and in proving that the sum of the squares of the two edges of a right angle equals the squares in its hypotenuse, or words to that effect. Son, get busy. "And the report is that the son now shows marked improvement in his recitations and will shortly quality for the old position of chore boy, which he looks forward to with eagerness and longing." The war prospect increases Washington's need for money, but increases even more appreciably the facilities for forestalling grumbling against raising all the money that may be needed. There is to be no reduction in coal prices next summer, but no matter. Most of us will not have enough cash next summer to buy coal and ice at the same time. Over in Germany soldiers are fed better than civilians. In this country animals marked for slaughter are stuffed with the choicest folder. Somebody inquired the other day as to what had become of Harry Thaw, and, it happened, nobody remembered. If nitrate is to be made from the air Nashville stands ready to supply an ample amount of the purest or raw material. The commander of the Frederick VIII. might have lent his rabbit's foot to the commander of the St. Louis. J. Barleycorn finds trouble threatening from so many directions that it must seem useless to essay a defense against any particular attack. The railroads are finding themselves in a plight in which advice from forty-eight different directions is of no particular avail. A nature faker who passed by Br'er Groundhe's hole last evening reports hearing a low audibility chuckle. We remember the Maine, but has Cuba forbidden what came after the Maine? Now comes Leat with its inevitable reminder of broken New Year's resolutions. It may be all right to tell your troubles occasionally, but don't give a continuous performance. Beg pardon for not mentioning it in the first place. Vice President Marshall also was elected. Maybe Carranza might be Induced to intervene for the restoration of order in Cuba. It really is disturbing to find how many things can go wrong when the world gets out of joint. Interst in automobiles may be going to lapse soon, but obviously it has not yet lapsed. Couldn't Bryan be induced to get in line with China and Henry Ford? Congress rarely is so busy that it can't find time to fillbuster. And, remember the Y. M. C. A. That's all.

I do know however, on March 1, 1913, I obtained a charter for this public welfare corporation, which has at its head, Elder M. Stewart, a worthy colored man whom I have known for years and whose character sheracity and good intentions are above reproach by members of both races. The records of this Union will show to the public and they are ready for inspection at all times, that the money solicited by them for Christmas funds was spent for coal and was distributed among the indigent Negroes of the city. I have represented this order from its infancy, have kept up with its every movement, and as its attorney, and also as attorney for a number of its members. I have seen enough to thoroughly satisfy myself, and believe that I am justified in thoroughly assuring the public that the inference to draw from the article of the Central Civic League of Nashville is without color and absolutely without foundation. It evidently originated in the fertile brain of some one who either has an ax to grind or a sore to heal. T. WATSON BATTS. MILITARY TRAINING CAMP FOR COLORED MEN. An Open Letter from Dr. J. E. Spingarn. New York, Feb. 15, 1917.—(Special to the Nashville Globe.) To the Educated Colored Men of the United States: It is of the highest importance that the educated colored men of this country should be given opportunities for leadership. On must ease to remain in the background. In every field of national activity, and must come forward to assume your right places as leaders of American life. All of you cannot be leaders, but those of you who have the capacity for leadership must be given an opportunity to test and display it. The e is now just such an opportunity possible for you, in case of war, to become leaders and officers instead of followers and privatees. Major General Leonard Wood, of the U. S. Army, commanding the Department of the East, has promised that if two hundred of you apply for admission, he will organize and maintain a military training camp for officers of the Army, training to fit you to serve as officers of volunteers in case of war. I do not believe that colored men should be separated from other Americans in any field of life; but the crisis is too near at hand to discuss principles and opinions, and it seems to me that there is only one thing for you to do at this juncture, and that is to get the training that will Rev. R. H. Goodloe, Pastor of the St. James Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Newbern, Tenn. Rev. R. H. Goodloe, Pastor of the St. James Cumberland Presbyterian, Church, Newbern, Tenn. fit you to be officers, however and wherever and whenever this training may be obtained. If two hundred of you do not send applications immediately the opportunity may be lost forever. The camp will be conducted on exactly the same principles as the military training camp held at Plattsburgh, N. Y., where thousands of men have received intensive training in military service. It will be one direction of United States Army officers. It will last four weeks. The date has not been set but it will prolabl begin early in June. The date of every student at the camp will be that of a cadet, just as at West Point. I understand that the transportation to aid from the camp will be defrayed by the government, and that the substance and training at the camp will be free. It is probable that every man will have to pay his own fare to the camp, and that after he arrives, his travelling expenses will be refunded, and his fare home paid. The only expense will be the cost of the uniform, which each man must furnish Mimself. That consists of a black blouse, blueskirt, breeches, two olive drab shirts, web belt, campaign hat and cotton leggings, costing in all about eight or ten dollars. Any good uset walking shoes will do. The outfit may be purchased on arrival at army or Navy Cooperative Company, with branches in New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Almost any sporting goods store can furnish the outfit, which must be of the regular army pattern. Those who wish to do some study in advance are advised to read Messrs Manual of Military Training. Candidates must be between the ages of 20 and 45 in vigorous health and of good moral character. Men who are graduates or undergraduates of colleges, high schools, normal, agricultural, or industrial schools, or other institutions of learning, are preferred; but any man of intelligence, character and ability may join. Previous military experience is not necessary. If you are not a graduate or undergraduate of some institution, it might be advisable to have a letter of recommendation from some person of repute. Send in your own application immediately. But that is not enough. Go out among your friends, and vex them to do the same. We must not let this chance slip. We must have as many colored officers as possible, if war should come. N. B.-Applications should be sent to Dr. J. E. Soingern, 9 West 72rd street, New York. A brief letter with a few details about yourself, will be sufficient for the present. We must persuade Genghal, Wood, that over two hundred men want to join immediately. LANE COLLEGE FARMERS' CONFERENCE ANNUAL GATHERING OF LEADERS IN AGRICULTURE IN WEST TENN. Improvement of Conditions of Rural and City Life Discussed--Prominent Speakers on the Program--Pres. Lane a Moving Spirit Jackson, Tenn., Feb. 22—(Special to Nashville Globe.) Patriotic singing, preceded by a fervent prayer in which the benediction of an All-wise God was asked upon the hundreds gathered here, marked the opening of the annual conference of farmers which has been conducted here for a number of years under the auspices of Lane College. The sessions began promptly at ten o'clock after a preliminary meeting had been held in the main hall of Lane College. In addition to perfecting the organization of the conference the hearing of the reports of the local league and county organizations, and the compiling of statistics which had been arranged prior to the meeting proper took place. The devotions were conducted by Rev. A. W. Vomack, A. B. one, will attend in person this county. One of the department meetings was the Madison County Colored Fruitgrowers Association. This proved interesting and inspiring. But for the rst real topic of the conference for public discussion was "How Best to Fight the Beau Weevil." An expert from the United States Government Agricultural and Experimental Station delivered a special address in which he told of the work and the necessity of the farmer applying himself to particular work. The general topic for discussion was "Every Farm Must Feed Himself and Family." Perhaps no subject which will be discussed throughout the sessions evoked more interest than this one. The present high cost of food seemed to have increased more life into the general topic. Following this came "improvement of Country Life," which was the key note of the rst day's session and which was subdivided as follows: 2. Religious Life: (a) Better Prepared Prescribers; (b) Improved Religious Services; (c) Examples. 3. Educational Advantages: (a) Better schools and teaching; (b) Longer Terms. 4. Social Conditions: (a) Strengthening Moral Life. The city was a bee bive of activity throughout the day as the farmers and citizen came in to take advantage of these meetings and discussions. It seems, however, that the height of climax of the conference was reached tonight in its first night session, when the R. V. H. Rowl D. D., the secretary and founder of the National Baptist Publishing House, and himself a practical farmer who has had a number of years' experience, addressed the meeting, and his address the subject of which was "Cotton," was listened to by an immense audience. The general topic, "What Can Be Done to Improve the Health and Economy of Life of the Negro?" was discussed before the opening of the program proper. The music helped to lend to the occasion. The praver by Rev. A. N. Stevens and the singling by the college glee club, with short talks by Bishon N. C. Cleaves and Dr. S. A. O'Neal, were merely introductory. When Mr. Boyd was introduced and arose to make his address he was greeted with a shower of applause. NRS WEEDEN IMPROVING Mrs. S. Weeden of 915 Thirteenth avenue, S., has been suffering very much with the gripe but is now able to sit up a little and it is hoped that she will be up and within a few days, by the help of the good Lord.

Governor Attends the Capitol Concert by Lincoln Institute Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 20.—On Friday evening the Governor and the Members of the Legislature were entertained at the Hall of Representatives by the students of Lincoln Institute, who gave a splendid musical and literary concert. In all cases, the performers showed such skill that it seemed hardy possible that they could be surpassed. The audience, on the other hand, was large—so large in fact that many were turned away from the doors; while others, determined to hear some of the performance, crowded outside the hall. All were most appreciative. The program varied, in that it was composed of classical selections and American folk songs; of vocal, violin and piano solos; and of orations. Miss Johnson and Miss Overtreet not only showed what excellent training they could impart, but also on request, they themselves performed to the perfect satisfaction of the assembly. Although, as has been inferred, the concert was like an all-star performance, yet the following numbers were possibly most significant. The chorus "Damascus," assisted by the orchestra, showed the results of excellent training in classical music. Secondly, little Miss Julia Elizabeth Allen, because of her youthful sweetness as well as her age in playing be'oe so large on assembly, was very readily applauded for her violin solos "Little Land" and "Old Folks at Home." Again the orations, which contained so much valuable information concerning the great work of Lincoln, instituted by her strong president, the audience not only with the excellent selection of thoughts but also with the 'foreful speak ug Lastly, the Young Men's Gee'ug club sang with such strong feeling that the members were recalled repeatedly and finally were allowed by a reluctant audience to retire. At last, in spite of many requests for more music, the program was closed with the singing of "America" in the new American tune first introduced at the National Educational Association Meeting in New York City. Yet above all credit is due to Dr. B. F. Allen for his wonderful psychological ability to study the audience so as to present appropriate selections so as to ensure the program is sure was excellent. But with out a strong, thoughtful chairman the great effect which the concert exerted upon the assembly could not have been attained. WALDEN UNIVERSITY. Rev. Dr. J. S.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala., February 19—At the Workers' Session of the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, the campaign for the 1917 National Negro Health Week was actively launched. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the Tuskegee Institute read to the Conference the Official Call for the National Negro Health Week and explained its purposes. "In this effort for improving Negro health," he said, "in addition to the co-operation of the leading organizations among the colored people, we also shall have the co-operation of the leading white organizations that are working for health improvement in the country, as for example, the National Tuskegee Association, the National Civil War Association, The Alabama Anti-Tuberculosis Association, The Southern States Anti-Tuberculosis Workers, The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, The Prudential Life Insurance Company, The United States Public Health Service, and the various States and City Health Departments." The need of continued efforts to improve Negro Health conditions was especially emphasized at the Tuskegee Workers' Conference which had for its subject, "Health Improvement for Efficiency." It was pointed out that ill health among Negroes is causing financial losses greater than the combined revenues raised by towns, countries and States throughout the South; that education and health improvement will double Negro efficiency; that tuberculosis among Negroes costs the South, annually, enough to establish three thousand five hundred 3,500) factories which --- --- NEWS Ha of reen go the AGENTS OUTFIT I Hair Grower, Templer Oil Humpo, Templer Oil Gam, Direction For seiling.

MRS. THERESE BURRILL'S BIRTH DAY. Up in Brooklyn New York there lives one of the stockholders of the Nashville Globe Publishing Company, in the person of Ms. Theese Burrill who is the widow of the late C. H. Burrill, who was one of the pioneers and promoters of the Nashville Globe Publishing Company. For a number of years Mr. Burrill lived in the South here in this city where he had a numbren of friends. For about ten years, he was the chief proof reader at the National Baptist Publishing Board, but poor health overtook him, and he went back home, and passed into the Great Beyond. His widow took up his work, as he his representative in the stock company, and from time to time she sends her greetings to friends in the South. In a lengthy letter just received by a member of the Nashville Globe Publishing Company, Mrs. Burrill states that she will be seventy years old on the second of March, but in spite of this it can be said that she is real active.

The debate, "Resolved that woman should vote," will be very, very interesting Tuesday evening of this week at the First Baptist Church. We are having ideal spring weather this week for which we are very grateful. On last Sunday morning to a large and appreciating audience, the Rev. Mr. A. A. Parr delivered a soul stirring subject, "Patriotism and Christianity." Text. John 4:9. "Their saint the woman of Samaria unto him, how is it that thou beating a Jew asked drink of me which am a woman of Samaria. For the Jews have no dealings with the Samarians." Among some of the many thoughts he gave were: Wisdom and wealth, less than Christian life. He will be a community builder. Pass the good from one to another. The best foundation in life is to build on a changed heart. In educating our children, be careful that a good foundation is under same. Last, by no means least, that Christianity knows no racial bounded. The service was indeed a spiritual one.

One of the best evidences that a person is wrong in their dealings, that they are at angles with the public good and public prosperity is their everlasting dread of publicity, because the Scriptures inform us that men only love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil, but the man whose deeds are righteous is very anxious that those deeds be made manifest, that all may understand their actions and dealings. When you see a people squirm and hear them hollowing because newspapers and other public advocates are talking about their conduct it is because they realize that their conduct is out of harmony with public decency. Publicity is one of the chief and best means of keeping men in line with right and righteousness. There can be no better spur to public conscience, there can be no sharper whip to the mind than the act of publication. If a man feels that his conduct, that his deeds, that his acts will never be brought to light, will never be exposed to public gaze he will content himself to do a great many outrageous things that he would not otherwise do. For many years the Baptist Vanguard has been the only journal interested in Baptist affairs and in news as it applies to Baptist people, and therefore the world has only caught a real vision of a class of Baptists, a certain ring and family, and pets were at liberty to do as they pleased, say what they pleased, and there was nothing said about it, but with the birth of the People's Defender the tray has been turned around, and the public is beginning to have the benefit of all the happenings in the rank and file of Baptists. The editor of the People's Defender is in possession of a communication bearing upon the editorial in last week's issue under the head, "Near Riot at Baptist College," that communication seeks to criticize the editor and the People's Defender in very severe terms, while at the same time it denies all of the conditions that the editorial in question suggested. The editor of the People's Defender did not say that the matters were true, simply declared that they had been reported. The communication, however, denies the report and says that there was no riot, there was no gun play by any lady member of the faculty. The editor of the People's Defender is delighted to know that it was not true, or delighted to hear somebody deny the accusation. The controversy, however, is between students. One bunch of students say that it is true; another bunch of students say that it is not true. The editor of the People's Defender therefore is at pleasure to believe whom he will in the matter. At any rate there must have been something doing or that great body of students would not have said so. The trouble is, that heretofore, the authorities have been permitted to do as they pleased without the public knowing anything about it. Now since the People's Defender is furnishing the public with the news and what takes place, it is stinging sharply. If we would not have the public criticize us, we must walk with in the path of righteousness. The editor of the People's Defender will be very glad to publish the communication, provided that the communication which he has from the other side of the controversy is published also. The editor of the People's Defender would not permit one side of the controversy by eye-witnesses to be published without the other side of the controversy by eye-witnesses were published also. In fact, the Vanguard is the mouthpiece of those who are opposed to the People's Defender. Let them speak and deny what he says through its columns. No bluff will go, the only way to keep the public from knowing your dealings in a bad light will be that you do the right thing, because this paper means what it says, it is the People's Defender and intends to defend the weak and helpless people against the arrogant, impositions of those who would do them harm. —The People's Defender. THE WAR CLOUDS The war clouds continue to swing low over the horizon of Uncle Sam's vision, with Mexico raiding the cities of his southern border, Villa bandits making constant raids on the border cities and taking hostages into Mexico of American citizens, with Cuba in its governmental affairs boiling like a sething pot, rioting and revolutionizing, and with big Germany sending to the bottom of the sea with her submarines great vessels of our government, Uncle Sam evidently regards his position as one of uneasiness. It appears that it would have been better for Uncle Sam to have given Mexico a nice little dressing while he was down there on the border, for Mexico will now, since the withdrawal of our soldiers from the border become arrogant in her insults and depredations upon our territory, when if Uncle Sam had quietly spanked her while he was down there and left word that he would be back and double the dose if she did not behave. Mexico doubtless would have gotten quiet and attempted to adjust her national affairs in a way that would have been commendable to her and bearable to their neighbors. Being somewhat a guardian of Cuba, and Cuban affairs, Uncle Sam has served notice on that little country to be quiet, and no doubt but what if Cuba does not become quiet that Uncle Sam will give her a nice little brushing since she is largely inhabited by Negroes. But Germany, big Germany is making Uncle Sam scratch his head and step easy, and measure his steps accurately, for to become in controversy with Germany means business. Germany, however, notwithstanding the critical relations brought about between her and this country by reason of severance of diplomatic relations, continues in her national policy of submarine warfare. If Uncle Sam does not back down he seems to have the greatest opportunity of his life to enter into a sea engagement with one of the greatest national powers of the world, and yet it seems from this distance that Uncle Sam has gotten himself into such a position until he will have to demonstrate cowardness to the world at large or face the music with his big enemy across the seas. The nation, however, will be one solid phalanx behind the chief executive of the nation. Every nationality, and every political party will for the time forget themselves, and run together in one great concrete body to defend the honor of the flag and preserve the integrity of our national government. In this the Negro will do his part. Every man should do his part. There is no time now for babbling. Every man should be a man and do a man's part. Let us all be patriots. No democrats, no republicans, no Negroes, no white people; all citizens with blood to protect one common country. The People's Defender. OUR LAWSUIT Dr. Boyd, the chief Baptist of the nation around whom more war is being waged at this time than around any other Baptist in the world, and upon whom more eyes are centered than upon any other one Negro in the world, has suggested that the controversy between the National Baptist Convention and the National Baptist Publishing Board and the Incorporated National Baptist Convention and the Incorporated National Baptist Publishing Board should not be fought out in the newspapers, should not be tried in the jubilee journals, but should be left to the courts to decide. The editor of the People's Defender heartily agrees with the advice of this old sage, and yet feels it not of place to suggest to the public interested in the final outcome of this matter that the lawsuit is progressing nicely, for indeed there are hundreds of people all over the country among the rank and file of the Baptists who are more interested than one at first sight would think. The laity of the church, the intelligent laity of the church who believe in Negro progress and Negro enterprise are exceedingly anxious as to the final outcome of the National Baptist Publishing House. They realize that if the incorporated brethren are to win in their contention that the race, and especially the Baptists will be set back many, many years, and therefore they are praying God that the arms of those in the lead of our contention shall be strengthened, and that the enemies of Baptist, regularity, that the enemies of racial progress and ```markdown ``` NOTICE The Baker Concert Company In Their First Appearance, will Appear at Mt.

Family enterprise shall not be able to overthrow the splendid work of the old pioneers in the publication art Therefore the editor of the People's Defender sends word to the many readers of the paper, the anxious inquiries about the status of affairs that the lawsuit is progressing nicely; that the incorporated brethren have thus far failed to make a case, that they have asked that the first case be dismissed, having become convinced that they will never be able to establish and contravening evidence that the property of the National Baptist Publishing Board belongs to the Baptist people in general, therefore they have asked that that matter be withdrawn, and they are now contending for the replacement, the supplanting of the National Baptist Publishing Board by a Board announced, elected and appointed by the National Bapaist Convention incorporated, and the National Baptist Incorporated president. It is to be believed that the second suit will end as hath the first one. God is not dead, he has watched for these twenty years the struggling of a weak race in its attempt to build up a publishing concern through which and by which it might assist in the carrying out of the Great Commission to send the Gospel into all the world, and He will not sit idly by and see the violators of church covenant destroy this well begun work. Thus far the National Baptist Convention as presided over by Rev. Dr. E. P. Jones, through its Board, the National Baptist Publishing Board through its secretary, the correspond in secretary of that Board in the person of Dr. R. H. Boyd has not lost a single contention. The editor there fore simply sends word to all lovers of Baptists regularity to be of good cheer, the victory is only a question of time. —The People's Defender. THE NEED OF PATIENCE IN PUB LIC CRIMES The editor of the People's Defender respectfully calls attention to the great need of patience in dealing with public happenings, with public occurrences. He is a firm believer in the doctrine of the punishment of criminals, but he is just as firm a believer in the doctrine that the innocent should go free. It is the policy of our government, as we understand it, to punish those who are guilty of crime, and to set at liberty those who have committee no crime in the event that they may be suspicioned and in order that this spirit of government may be carried out, there must be exercised a very large degree of patience by the public, for many things may happen of such a revolting nature and character that may exasperate the public and irritate the to such a degree that it may go blind, and there fore seize and punish those who may be innocent of any crime whatever. If the public press is to be credited it possibly has happened that an infuriated mob lynched the wrong man a few days ago in the vicinity of Forest City, or eastern Arkansas. A deputy sheriff had meen slain by a Negro deputy to report. A posses went and to work to capture said murderer, and in their haze secured an individual that resembled the real culprit, and proceeded without judge or jury to dispatch him. On after such proceedings, it appears that it developed that they had dispatched a man who had nothing to do whatever with the murder of the deputy sheriff the editor of the People's Defender feels that the public in dealing with public occurrences, however exasperating may be their nature should exercise enough patience at least to see it that they have secured by yond all doubts the guilty party. Evidently it would be far better for the public conscience generally that the courts in regular process should be permitted to hold jurisdiction and reach a just conclusion in all of these cases, and yet if a crime is so revolting in its nature that public feeling is brought up to an unbearable pitch to an incontrollable height, to say the least, they owe it to themselves and to the state and to humanity and to God to see it to that some innocent SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SLN Alliancinskin Pants Mississippi Firmware Alice's Skin We Pay Express or Parcel Post Obgeorge We have a NEW cloth —beautiful skins and hats! —durable work and this formula for property.

PRESIDENT JONES' APPEAL. President Jones of the National Baptist Convention has sent out an urgent appeal to all Baptists throughout the nation to read the Union-Review. In this appeal we beg to cooperate, in doing so we regard that we do the public a benefaction. The Union-Review is the greatest Negro journal in the United States, it is the greatest church paper in the world among Negroes, it is the greatest Baptist news conveyor in our great commonwealth. If you would know anything Baptist, if you would catch the news, read the Union-Review, and it will tell you everything regarding the workings of the Baptist and the Baptist church throughout the nation. If you would have the truth of things as it relates to the church, read the Union-review, for it is not only a newspaper being circulated to make sentiment, but regards the honor and truthfulness of its statement with a degree of reverence. It is possibly the greatest factor in the development of the church and the spread of the gospel outside of the pulpit itself among us. Its editorial column is high-class and scholarly, always bearing upon the classical, sound in its doctrines and broad in its vision among the people. The Theological department as conducted by the editor is indeed interesting, and above successful criticism. Every young minister in the United States would do himself an honor to read with care the theological deductions and arrangements of editor Frank, for he is a ripe scholar, a deep thinker, a man whose vision compares most favorably with that of any man in our nation, regardless to race. The Sunday school department is most commendable. If any one would be enlightened in that direction, they could take no better help than the Union-Review, for it is full from start to finish. Let every minister who may chance to read this little editorial in the state of Arkansas set himself to the task to see to it that the Union-Review has a place in every home in his church, for that church is most easily pastored that is best informed as to Baptist doctrine, as to Baptist progress and Baptist methods. And along with this Union-Review, suppose you take the dear old People's Defender. Dont forget, subscribe for the Union-Review. The People's Defender.

Some day when you study history you will learn about the fearless and gallant Balboa, discoverer of the Pacific Ocean. Away out in California is a new Balboa, a discoverer, too, not of great oceans and far-smiling lands, but of little children with wonderful talents. The new Balboa is the name of a studio where are made many of the motion pictures that the Parent-Teacher Association and the great magazines of the world call "Better Films for Children." Not long ago this new Balboa made a new discovery, and they were as surprised as the Balboa of old when he climbed over rocks that for centuries had been chiseled by hail and smoothened and polished by storms, and finally reached the sumit of the mountain and beheld the peaceful Pacific water like a diamond beneath the sun. The new discoverers are always lookout for folks who can do things better than anyone else, but O dear, no, the did not suppose that the gardener's son, little Leen, a woolly-headed color boy, could do much of anything. In fact, they had not even noticed the little seven-year-old boy when he came to the studio gardens to see his father he always kept in the shadows, where folks are not looking for talent. Little Leon's father is a very sensible man, and he taught his little son t understand that a seven-year-old pickianny must not get in the way of white folks in a busy motion picture studio. And Leon liked so much to watch the camera men wind and wind those wonderful machines that take the pictures, that he was very careful to do as he was told. From a long line of ancestors little Leon had learned obedience, for you know, if you have read your history well, that less than sixty years ago the Negroes lived in the shadows of slavery, were owned by white masters, and had to obey them or sometimes he whipped and punished cruelly. Leon's grand-mother was a baby then, a lowly slave's baby, whose white master had the right to take her away from her own mother's love and care and sell her to a new white master. In those days it was a common sight to see men, women and children put on a uniform block like a horse or a cow, and sold to the highest bladder, wives separated from their husbands," children from their parents, and brothers from their sisters. We know that this was very wrong, for all people are children of God, be their color white, black red, yellow or brown. And since God has created all men brothers "there can be no moral right in one man making a slave of another." When Leon's grandmother was born when Baby slave, Abraham Lincoln, the great and good man who said these quoted words, was President of the United States. A sensitive nature had been stung with sorrow at the crime of the auction block and the lash. And when the power came to him to abolish slavery, he fearlessly issued the Emancipation Proclamation that gave freedom to all the Negroes in the United States. With the dawn of freedom, many changes came to Leon's grandmother. She grew with such chances of education as befalf the children of poor Negro families in the South. Perhaps that is the reason she accepted rufices to send her own daughter, little Leon's mother to school to save her from the rough and stony path of ignorance. The Negro mother-heart knows that odds are against a little boy when his hair is kinky and his face is black. And that is the reason Leon's mother will make even a greater sacrifice to give him the chance to develop his wonderful talents. For the little fellow no longer linger among the shadows dreaming dreams, but in the center of the stage takes his childish but truly artistic part in the beautiful pictures that go all over the world to instruct and entertain. And this is how it happened. For watching the camera man wind and watch a wonderful machine that 'take the pictures,' he began to notice the artists who took out the beautiful stories. And then like any normal child he tried to imitate all they did, but just for his own mammy, who'd laugh and call him "Honey" wit' a tenderness that only a Negro mother can feel for her born child. Leon's mother is very fond of poetry, and keeps a book in which she pastes all the beautiful poems about her race that she finds. And some of the finest of these that Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the Negro poet, has written, she has taught her little son. Responding to the love of rhythm that lies deep in every Negro's soul, Leon has not only learned these poems, but acts them out with a grace that is wonderful to see, even to the "tuk're struttin' in de ba'nya'd, Nary step so proud as his." Living in a world of make-believe, Leon has developed an ability to act that is marvelous in one so young. But even the keen eye of his mother was unaware of his talent until one day the little fellow was called to take a simple part in one of the pictures. He did so exactly as he was told and put so much feeling into the part he played that he was given a more important part. And then the wonderful discovery was made: the child had the power to make of his acting a refined and delicate art, a full and full story for little boys and girls and story for people to see and love is being written just for little Leo to act. It is one that will be classed among the clean photoplayers for children, one that will stir the heart with every element of human sympathy for ally but unspoiled child of God. And if the little Leen, who is but a grandson of a slave, can with his great gift lead men, women and little children to live more worthily who is there among us but relocates that he has come from the shadow of obscurity to live in the light of renown!

The new Nashville city directory is now being compiled by the publishers. Its accuracy depends largely upon the cooperation of the public. Postmaster Shannon stated yesterday that in view of the fact that the city directory plays such an important part in the delivery of mail matter reaching the Nashville Post Office incorrectly or insufficiently addressed, all firms, individuals, and agencies doing business in this city should see that the publishers or the Nashville Post Office be given all names and addresses by the postmaster and receive Every year a new directory is published and many names are omitted thereby rendering it impossible for the postoffice to deliver the mail. In this connection, attention is invited to position taken by the First Assistant Postmaster General, relative to such mail, which is as follows: Your active co-operation is requested in an effort to relieve the postal service of the burden imposed by the growing evil of incomplete and improperly addressed mail. The delivery of letters, especially in the large cities, is frequently delayed and oftentimes impossible by the omission of an important part of the address—such as the street number, or room number when addressed to an office building. Not infrequently the name of the street is omitted, only the name of the Post Office and State being given. Another source of trouble is the practice of giving an address to the intersection of two streets within the city by giving the address of the corner, for in large cities a number of carriers routes may terminate at that point or it may be the dividing line between the respective territories of the main post office and a station or between two stations, and in the absence of the notation "N. E.", "N. W." etc., the distributors are unable to determine to which carrier the mail should be thrown. The increasing carelessness on the part of the public in addressing their mail is no doubt aided and abetted by the practice of the Department in supplying sufficient addresses, and also by the exploitation in newspapers of the ability of some clerks to break down addresses. Postmasters address their patrons that complete and accurate addresses are essential to prompt mail delivery, and that they should co-operate with the Department to the extent of seeing that mail originated by them bears a street number or room number in the case of an office building in addition to the name of the city and State. Attention should also be invited to the fact that they can be of material assistance in the education of the genius required by having all statements intended for transmission in the mails printed with their complete street or office address. It will be seen from the above how essential it is for patrons to see that the necessary information is given to the publishers. If the Post Office is notified within the next 30 days, such names will be furnished the publishers, and this will insure any mail being delivered that arrives at the Nashville Post Office improperly or insufficiently addressed. Mr. Shannon further states that if a one is in doubt as to whether Right. the new directory, they should be on the safe side and send in an order to the postmaster at once. All persons who have recently moved to the city and all new firms should give this matter immediate attention. DEATH OF A PROMISING YOUNG MAN Hendersonville, Tenn., Feb. 21, 1917.
