LADIES MILITARY BAND WINS.
Large Audience
Nashville was treated to something new, quite out of the ordinary and spice, when the Ladies' Military Band, composed of twelve pieces, under the direction of Prof. N. C. Davis, gave their initial appearance at the First Baptist Church, East Nashville. Monday evening, April 30th. In spite of the unfavorable weather, a large and appreciative audience was out. No more beautiful sight has been seen than the semi-circle of ladies in simple white costumes. From the time the baton was raised for the first number, they completely captivated their audience. So spellbound were they that with the exception of applause and the sweet treat to the house was as still, so to speak, as a "mouse." Even when the nai selection was completed the audience seemed reluctant to leave.
The Band has the distinction of being the only Ladies' Band in the Southland. From the ease with which they produced tones and handled their instruments you would have thought they had been playing for several years instead of five weeks. The band was assisted by vocal numbers from Mrs. S. H. Johnson and Miss Helena Lowe. The closing selection was "America." The audience arose and sang white "Old Glory" was waved by little Margarrette Berry. The following program was rendered:

VERY LOW EXCURSION RATES TO NASHVILLE, TENN
"Not in the history of the Sunday School Congress has such a low round trip rate been put at the disposal of the Sunday-school workers as has been offered for the twelfth annual session of the Sunday School Congress which meets in this city June 13th-18th," declared the Secretary of the Sunday School Congress this week when he handed out an announcement to the effect that a joint tariff giving the excursion rates authorized for the Cong. as this year has been issued The Secretary of the Southeastern Passenger Association Territory sent this tariff in, which shows that the rates from all points South of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers and East of the Mississippi, will be approximately one fare plus 50c for the round trip. I take it, say, the Congress rates are the one for any point from any point in this territory is $10.00, then the round trip fare from that point to Nashville will be $10.50. These tickets are to be on sale, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 11, 12 and 13th. They will be good to return June 21st. In other words, it is a ten days excursion at the lowest rates that have been given.
When the announcement was made at the Baptist *Manisters' Conference Monday*, renewed activity was taken on and the Local Committee, consisting of the ustors and superintendents of thirty-five Baptist churches and Sunday Schools, held a special meeting to further perfect the plans for the coming of the vistors. The Nasal Baptist Union-Review and The City will publish this city will publish the full round trip fares from all the important points in the Southeastern Territory to Nashville.

MINISTERS MEET
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
INVESTIGATION OF ARTICLE BY
REV. HARDING. GLOBE ARTIC
CLE DISCUSSED.
A set of resolutions drafted by a special committee appointed by the Baptist Ministers Alliance Monday, April 23, 1917, whose duty was to go minutely into and over an article that was published in the Nashville Globe a weekly paper published in the city of Nashville by the Nashville Globe on Monday, April 20, 1917 wherein the writer made many observations with regard to the Roger Williams University, that the ministers present on the day assembled mentioned above, believed warranted the attention and actions of the Baptists of the State of Tennessee. We, therefore, your committee beg leave to make the following report: "Revelations that Startle the People," and also set out in bold type of
black letters the words, "Roger Williams Just Transferred." and Whereas, we as your committee have investigated this startling publication and found that the matter as was stated in the Nashville Globe by the writer, Rev. J. L. Harding. Moreover, we as your committee have宗IONAL State Convention of the State of Tennessee, to be true, be it Resolved that the Ministers' Alliance, (1) endorse in full every word of the article. (2) Pledge ourselves to support the stand taken by the writer, the Rev. J. L. Harding, B. D., in any and every way possible. And Whereas, the Roger Williams University was established for the Baptists of the State, and for no special part or faction thereof, be it Further Resolved, that the ministers of the Baptist Ministers Alliance, unite with the Rev. J. L. Harding, B. D., in an effort to expose the fallacy and to ascertain the facts and claim the rights of the Baptists should their be and are to institute a national Baptist school institution for the education of the youths of the denomination. And
Whereas, the article as published by the writer, the Rev. J. L. Harding, B. D., is in keeping with an article in a resolution that was passed in the session of the Missionary Baptist State Convention, when in session in the First Baptist Church, Columbia, Tenn. Date, Oct. 18-22., 1916, on page 16 of the minutes of the said session, where it was decided that the Baptists that compose said convention will take such steps as will place the Institution in proper relation with our missionary and educational interests of state.
Therefore be it resolved that we call upon the State Executive Board to call a special session for the purpose of drafting such plans as will have the proper affect and effect upon the conditions that now exist in the ownership and management of the Roger Williams University, through whom the students are represented in this matter of a careful, advisory and legal investigation, looking forward to an adjustment of the matter that will satisfy the claims of all of the Baptists of the state. We wish to further recommend, that the Ministers Alliance, notify and call upon all organic bodies that are actively engaged in Christian work, working in harmony with, and under the direction of our Baptist State Convention to unite with us in delving into this matter until a satisfactory adjustment of the matter is made. Believing as we do that the Baptist Church of Jesus Christ is the highest authority on earth in matters that pertain to Baptist faith and practice, be it
Resolved that we call upon the Baptist churches to take under consideration this grave matter, in each individual church, and also send messengers to a special meeting that should be called to take under consideration the article and thus more fundamentally stamp our approval upon the steps taken by the Rev. J. L. Harding, B. D. Having given to you our views to same extent on this matter, we press that Baptist churches of conviction together with ourselves will both indorse and stand by the article as published by our President. Respectfully submitted.

Many of the species were charged with instructive measures and advice to the graduating class, while others were short, laughable and recreating.
The baccalaurate sermon was preached Sunday, April 29th, by Bishop I. B Scott. A great crowd turned out to hear him. The sermon was indeed logical, profound and interesting, and served as a great treat to all.

Long beore the hour set for the exercises to begin, hundreds of citizens could be seen wending their way to the auditorium. The Ladies Court, and the Juveniles were out in suspicious numbers. Promptly at the hour assigned the Knights headed by Gen. Preston Taylor, Maj. Geo. Hall and two companies of uniform rank marched from the Castle Hall on Fifth Avenue to the Auditorium. The spectacle was very imposing as the marchers passed into the building. Many favorable comments were heard as the grandeur of the parade. Every lodge in Nashville had out its full membership. At the auditorium the Knights were given seats directly in front of the stage, while the Courts of Calanthe and Juveniles were assigned seats on the left.

Mrs. Davis was well loved by every one who knew her which was manifested by the large attendance at the funeral and the lovely floral designs.

McNary of St. Louis and a host of relatives and friends. Mr. A. N. Johnson was the Under-taker in charge.
TRAINING CAMP DEFERRED.
Secretary of War Promises Consideration as Soon as Colored Troons are Recruited
A delegation—consisting of Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, Moorefield Story of Boston, Archibald H. Grimke, Prof. Geo. W. Cook, Prof. Montgomery Gregory, James W. Johnson, James A. Cobb, Dean Kellie Miller, Whiffield McKinley and Roy Nash had an interview with Secretary of War, Newton D. Parker, Friday morning, April 27th. Dr Spingarn acted as spokesman and the Secretary immediately authorize General Wood to invite three hundred colored men to enter Plattsburg or any other of the regular training camps which have just been instituted. The Secretary replied that he could not do this at this time, but that he was seriously considering the whole matter and was committed to the plan for training colored officers for colored regiments. He stated he had not decided whether to have colored officers. In a regular camp or a separate and distinct camp for colored officers, and would take "whichever was least offensive to the colored people."
This means that an opportunity for the training of colored officers will probably be deferred until the end present camp. That is to say, until about September 1st. It is not impossible, however, that a camp may be organized before that time, and it is incumbent upon all the colored people of the country to get together for training. Nothing is more important at this time than that colored men should be given an opportunity to train themselves as officers.
The names of applicants now in
the program are: Jill, Katie,
fainted for future use, and all
fainted for future use.

SUNDAY SCHOOL IN NASH-

"WORKING UP MORE INTEREST"

IN SOME SUNDAY SCHOOL.
PERSONAL CONTACT ONE OF THE THEMES ADVOCATED BY COMMITTEE.
With four high speed automobiles going in four directions, starting from the Y. M. C. A. Building at nine o'clock next Sunday morning, the Sunday School Union proposes to get in personal touch with every Sunday school in Nashville. This Sunday school campaign has been under way for several months, as it has been the custom of the Sunday School Union each year to put one of these demonstrations on their way, and getting out this event, it is said it was due only to the fact of the prolonged illness and the final death of the former president, but upon the election of Rev. J. T. Tunstall as president and G. P. Baker as secretary, with a corps of competent officials, new life was injected into the Union and this campaign is the direct result of the new plans. The personnel of each group was carefully selected. Their plan is to divide Nashville into four grand divisions, beginning with them their order, with the respective denominations. The respective Sunday schools are called upon to dispense with each and every service the moment the committee comes. The committee will make about a two minute talk, using one member as its spokesman, thank the Sunday school for its courtesy and invite them to join hands in making Nashville really the Sunday school center of the United States. They will then go on to the next place, continuing with the plans been laid in, adopting this plan which had the unanimous approval of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, the Sunday school superintendents believe by the time the Sunday School Congress convenes they will have, through the efforts of this movement and through the combined efforts of the Metokas and Galedas, who organized themselves into an Indian Buffalo hunt raised the standard of Sunday School work, more than any time before. The automobiles to be used on this occasion will be donated and the teacher is to operate the mundane. One of the tasks which will be assigned to the committee declared they had planned to reach out as far as Brentwood, even though they had to use a special car for the occasion.
applications should be sent to Row Nash, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Every man interested in this project should not only send an application to Mr. Nash, but should write to his Congressman urging the latter to insist on officers' training for colored people. Dr. Spingarn in an interview said:
"On February 15th I sent an open letter to the colored people of the country, urging them 'to apply for admission to a camp for colored officers' to a fawor with a separate camp, but I could not find it, so I could only definitely commit the War Department to the training of colored officers before war was declared, that precedent would hold and colored officers would get training immediately. I have made this light all alone, with the help of only two or three men like Dean Pickens and Prof. Cook. If the whole colored world had risen and demanded such training at that time regardless of their differences, the camp would have been assured and demanded now to be getting training as officers. As it is that training must now be deferred for two or three months, and all I urge all men, white and black, to start an organized campaign to see that the Secretary of War does not forget his promise."

"We have been using Lung-Vita in our family for whooping cough and colds," says Mrs. Fannie L. Moore, who lives at 1006 Morrison street, in her statement to us some time ago. "I had not been clear of a cold for six months until I began using Lung-Vita, but it sure broke up the cold and stopped the cough right now. And for whooping cough it can't be beat. You need not be afraid of whooping cough so long as you have Lung-Vita in the house and use it. Those who use it don't cough and vomit like those that do not use it. It is a wonderful medicine."
Lung-Vita is sold by druggists and dealers. (Adv.)

THE DESTRUCTION OF AUTOCRACY
National News Notes.
Brief Bits of News and Comment On
Men and Measures.
Washington, D. C., May 3. In these
days while the world rocks and reels
domestic controversies here at the
National Capital are being subordinated,
and national emergency and need
are to the front as paramount questions
of the hour. Every arm of the
government is alive with disbelief
to strengthen rather than to hinder
and citizens of every kind, color,
and degree are supporting the government
loyally and earnestly.
The Negro and the part he shall play in the war is a subject of earnest discussion. His rights and wrongs, his handicaps and injustices are, along with other controversies, being subordinated to his duties and responsibilities in this hour of the national crisis. His spokesmen at the National Capitol however feel that it is not amiss once again to call attention to the fact that this government is founded upon the theory of majority rule, a theory to which the American people have always and always will subscribe. But the principle of majority rule does not mean that as included the power of the majority will ignore the personal and inherent dignity of minority. Such assumption of power is detrimental to good government and leads to a tyranny as repulsive as autocratic despotism. Repulsive as is the offence, it becomes doubly offensive

who na minority attempts to or succeeds in abridging or denying the personal freedom of the majority. Such a state of affairs is old world autocracy and repudiates-the great American principle of judicious majority rule. Yet the agitation in the hall of Congress for the repression of Personal Freedom threatens to establish a precedent in that form of government.
Figures from the last national election cast a light upon some startling facts. They revealed the amazing truth that in the so-called Prohibition states, that is, the Southern States, only 38,000 votes are necessary to elect a Congressman, while 45,000 votes are required for a similar representation from the Northern, Western, or so-called "wet" states. Thus a representative from a licensed state, speaking for a constituence of 45,000 voters has his vote offset by 38,000.
The inequality of representation paves the way for minority rule and raises the question whether or not the vote of one man is not as good as that of another.
The comparison between some of the states is pathetically grotesque. "Dry" Mississippi has a national representation for every 11,000 voters; "wet" Ohio only one for every 50,000; "dry" South Carolina one for every 10,000 voters; and "wet" Illinois has only one representative for every 75,000 voters.
Every such measure passed by Congress means another pace forward for minority rule and intolerance!

realize the possibilities in a class of boys or they would give more time to their training. The average boy is really good at heart and if you'll take the time to find his heart you will have made a friend for life and saved a soul for eternity. The noisy laugh and boisterous antics of a boy should not discourage a teacher from spending a little time in getting beneath this annoying exterior and developing the rich soil found there.
The Building of the Ship" consists of a real wooden ship made in parts and a wooden boy brings his part and hands it to a building master with appropriate Scripture quotation. The master puts it together and at the end you have before your eyes a real ship with Bible, National and Red Cross Flag, Anchor and Missionary money ready to take its place and carry the gospel to those in darkness.

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE TO OPEN MONDAY
President R. H. Tabor Issues Statement to Colored Fans of The City
President R. H. Tabor of the Capital City League announces the formal opening of the city's colored base ball association at Athletic Park Monday, May 7th. The first game will be called at 2:30 p.m. The usual ceremonies of hoisting the American flag will be carried out before beginning the big doubleheader which will formally usher in the 1817 season of the Maroons.

The officers of the Capital City League this year are R. H. Tabor; president; Sam Ellison, vice president; Will Miller, treasurer, and Marshall Garrett, secretary. These officers will spare no pains in their efforts to give to the public clean, wholesome sports, and they are boping numbers this year to witness the numbers this year to witness the games than over before.
President Tabor in speaking of the matter said: "Our people must consider that before our boys can excel at the national sport and become real professional players, they must be given a chance to practice and become perfect in the game. The Capital City League proposes to give them this opportunity, but unless the League gets the support of the race, the players will be denied this privilege. If the people will patronize our games we can then give the proper encouragement to the players and with proper encouragement our boys can play ball as good as anybody. What they need is practice and encouragement." [President Tabor stated that he hoped to see five thousand enthusi-

Mrs. Castle Plays Thrilling Scenes
Mrs. Vernon Castle's ability as a swimmer was severely tested in several of the episodes of "Patria," the fifth episode of which will be shown at the Star Theatre Thursday. As the heroine, resolutely bent on teaching America the necessity of "preparedness" she falls into the hands of unscrupulous enemies, who cast her overboard from the upper deck of a Sound steamer.

In the fifth chapter she escapes again from her foes by diving boldly into the Sound, and swimming under water to escape the bullet sent after her. She is finally rescued far from shore by a hydroplane. It is the first time the aeroplane has been used in rescue work. The camera shows her climbing aboard the hydroplane very wet, but very glad to find that her sweetheart is the pilot. A little later she is seen under way in the hydroplane skillfully manipulating a gun at a flying machine sent after her by her relentless enemies.

FAYETTEVILLE
A good woman is gone. Mrs. Donnie Clark, mother of Miss Barbara Clark, one of the Globe's good subscribers, died April 26, 1917 On her farm near Howell, Tenn. Mrs. Donnie Clark, was one of the most prominent women of the race, her funeral took place from the Baptist Church of that place last Friday at 2:30 p. m. It was one of the most largely attended funerals ever held in Howell, Tenn, due to her wide acquaintance and popularity. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Words, his son and others. Many beautiful things were said by them about this great and good woman. Her husband, who departed this life several years ago was a worthy husband, for he made the needed preparation for her on her return. He was the home of several acres of land about two miles out from Howell, Tenn, and 4 miles of Fayetteville on the Petersburg pike. When a man comes to die matters not how much religion he has, if he says he is ready to go, and made no preparation for his family, he leaves behind him, he made a mistake by saying he is ready to go, for he is not. I will say more on that subject later. Mrs. Clark's remains were in charge of Mr. Johnhye Hoses, and it was most ably conducted and everything was up-to-date. Mr. Hose was patient, courteous and kind. He looked after every wish of the family. The casket was of beautiful black broadcloth and heavily draped. Everything was fine the truth of the matter is this house is unsurpassed
by any in the city. Mrs. Clark lost her youngest daughter about two years ago. She leaves her only daughter Miss Barra, five sisters and other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. In her children have lost a good mother, the church a faithful member and the race a great and good woman, peace to her ashes. Mrs. Florence White is in untsville, Ala., this week visiting her sister, Mrs. Maud Donegan, W. Hall. St. Their father, Bill, will also their father, but is up this week. The farmers are very busy in this section preparing their soil and planting corn from the outlook it seems that a large quantity of food will be raised. Mrs. Fannie Alexanders the wife of Mr. Bob Alexanders of Gadsden, Ala., formerly of this place, passed into the great beyond since our last meeting. Her funeral services were held in Gadsden, but her remain s were brought to Fayetteville, interment was at Rose Hill cemetery. The Mt. Zion Rev. Smith, D. D. is steadily improving. The pastor left this week for Columbia, Tenn., to preach the funeral of one of his former members of that place.

Several of the applause winning numbers have never been used outside of his house, and his choreos sweet singing songs augment the harmony to powerful volume.

Misrepresentations of Rev. J. L.
Harding Corrected
In the last issue of the Nashville Globe, Rev. J. L. Harding instigulates, by inference that when I assisted in the purchase of the site where Roger Williams University now stands I was prompted by personal motives rather than the interests and welfare of the Baptist people of this state whom I was then serving. This is the exact language used by Mr. Harding for that purpose:
"Dear Rev. Haynes' would have the people think that he was placed on the sacrificial altar when he was appointed financial agent to collect $5,000 out of which he was entitled to from 10 to 20 per cent commission, beside a nice commission for making the sale for Mr. J. O. Kirkpatrick and Son. Did he get anything? He can speak for himself."
It may be seen that the gentleman, by implication, would convey the impression that I was paid a commission on the sale of this property, also on the sale that was used in these buildings. It is clear to my mind that it is his intention to misrepresent me and to question my motive.
I feel, therefore that it is my duty to speak for myself, and give the public the facts. Accordingly, I sent a copy of the Globe to Mr. J. O. Kirk patrick, from whom we bought the property. After he had read the article written by Mr. Harding he sent me the following communication:
Your favor of even date, enclosing a printed article by one J. L. Harding, duly received. After reading said printed article carefully, I have to say, regarding the clauses in which the impression is sought to be made that in the purchase of the real estate of the present site of Roger Williams University you acted in a dishonorable way, that you did not ask for, nor receive one cent of commission in the sale of this property; but you acted throughout the deal entirely in the interest of the University.
Knowing the facts as I do, I further state there is great doubt if the University could have secured the property had it not been for your interest and uniting efforts in its behalf. In this connection I will state further that since the University began improving this property we have furnished some thousands of dollars worth of building material from which you have personally profited not one cent. Further there is owing to us a balance of about $1500,00 for building material which we have been carrying on our books for the past two years, mainly through your influence. You will pardon me when I say I have known you intimately since your boyhood and have had numerous financial transactions in which you were interested personally or as agent for others and in every instance you have acted in a strictly honest and honorable manner and your endorsement on any transaction makes it worth 100 cents to the dollar with me. In conclusion I will say if the said

FIRESIDE SCHOOL
The second annual Recognition Day program of the Fireside Schools, which included the closing exercises of the Fireside School Training Classes for Christian Workers, was a great success. It was held on Thursday night, April 26th, in the colored Y. M. C. A. before an audience that taxed the seating capacity of the auditorium to its limit. Miss Ada F. Morgan, superintendent of the Fireside Schools, presided. The first number was a song for "Susan." The Scripture was read by Rev. A. D. Hurt, the selection being the 90th Psalm, Rev. H. A. Alfred, pastor of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, offered prayer. Next came the roll call of HOPE clubs with response from each. Miss Grace M. Eaton gave the report of the Women's Training Class, which was followed by a Bible drill and song by the Class. Miss Alice A. Cushin reported the Young Women's Training Class, the members of which then gave a pageant entitled "A Heroine of the Cross and Her Vision of Service." This pageant was for life of Sister Moore and special mention should be made of Miss Luella M. Hoyle, who so ably andhetically represented Sister Moore, and of the singing by a group of little children from Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School that delighted all who heard
"Fireside School Facts," a series of questions and answers on the Fireside School, was led by Mrs. M. H. Flowers. Twenty-three certificates were awarded to the Read HOPE Institute, the daily Bible lessons, for a year or more. Miss Morgan made well chosen remarks in presenting the certificates, urging the readers to continue in the daily study of God's Word and speaking of the blessing received by so doing. It is hoped the reading of the Fireside School books will be followed these certificate lessons, so that anyone who may add one or more goals to the certificate.
The "Light Bearers" exercise that followed was very impressive and beautiful. Mrs. Mattie D. Griggs-boy of Sister Moore as a light-bearer, as she told of the result of Sister Moore's work which she had seen in the various states she had recently visited. The room she was in, where the candle was lighted and placed on the table, the only light in the room." Mrs. M. H. Flowers spoke of this candle representing the life of Sister Moore which has been a light to so many lives. Now Sister Moore has gone on to glory, the work she founded and to which she gave her life must go on. All in all, she enlightened the light of the Presidie School plans were invited to make their offering to the work. The Women's Training Class led in the offering and as each one came forward and placed a dollar on the table she received a large candle which was lighted from the one on the table, then formed a march to the rear of the room, nearly enclosing it, then returning and formed a circle in the open space by the
Miss Luella Hoyle sang "Brighten the corner where you are," assisted by the members of the Young Women's Class and "Let the lower lights be burning," during the processional. Contributions were made by the audience, all of whom received a candle of a size according to amount given. Prayer of congratulation by Elder G. A. Golings of the Holiness Church. The occasion was one of much profit and interest to all who attended and the Fireside School looks forward to increased activities in the year to

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
TEMPERANCE UNION.
The postmaster of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was held on Sunday afternoon, April 29th, at the Negro Carnegie Library. The address was given by Miss Christine Tinling, National Secretary of the Young People's Branch of the W. C. T. U.
