NASHVILLE GLOBE. TEN THOUSAND MORE PAID ON Y.M.C.A. BUILDING VOLUME XII. JONES AND BOYD TAKE CHICAGO Two Baptist Giants in the Windy City Leave on Campaign Through State. Chicago, Ill., May 14th.—All day yesterday this city was in the grasp of two giants in the National Baptist cause. The Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., president of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, and Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville, Tenn., were the attractions. While they are here preparations are being made to have Chicago they are going on a pilgrimage through the center of the state. On yesterday Drs. Jones and Boyd filled many pulpits. They seemed to take in the new Sunday school idea of a whirlwind campaign. While it is true they are here under the auspices of the Baptist ministers, they were personally directed by Drs. John F. Thomas, Boston J. Prince and Lucius J. Drane. The principal meeting of the Providence Baptist Church on the south side, pastored by Dr. Prince. At this meeting Dr. Jones was the principal speaker. It was the first annual celebration of Mother's Day under the auspices of the Laymen's Movement of Chicago, which is a branch of the national organization of the unincorporated Convention. Dr. Jones was eloquent throughout the address. The program presented in connection with the exercises of the highest grade Baptist Dr. Boyd was also a speaker during the afternoon. He also spoke at Friendship Baptist Church, of which Dr.梨 is pastor, at 9 a.m., and at 11 a.m., and at Ebenezer Baptist Church he spoke at 3 p.m., of which Dr. Thomas is pastor. Tonight at Friendship Baptist Church, this church is notable in the minds of the Baptists of Chicago held at the Salem Baptist Church. This church is notable in the minds of the Baptists of Chicago held at the unincorporated National Baptist Convention after there had been a division in the Baptist ranks when they met here in September, 1915. The pastor of the church, the Rev. D. Heywood, had arranged a great meeting which came up to their expectations. Another meeting is arranged whereby Drs. Jones and Boyd will address the Baptist Ministers' Alliance at the Mt. Carmel Church at Oak Park tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock. Then on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m., they are rousing meeting at the Second Baptist Church of Maywood. On Thursday day following this they are to be at the Berean Baptist Church, and then on Friday they go to the Union Baptist Church. Next Sunday they come back to Ebenezer; on Monday evening friendship will be revisited. On Tuesday of next week the entire Chicago delegation will accompany Drs. Jones and Boyd to the Baptist Convention, which is to be held at the Second Baptist Church on Tuesday that it had not been definite, decided how long Drs. Boyd and Jones would remain in the state, but that pressure was being brought to have them touch every important point in Illinois. Reports of the Bazaar Given By the Ladies Auxiliary of Mt.

NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY—THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. Senior Class Presents Flag to A. and I. Governor Rye Present. Old Glory was given to the breezes and floated in the clear atmosphere from the main building of the A. & I. State Normal after appropriate exercises held at the A. & I. State Normal at 2 o'clock last Monday, in which Governor Thomas C. Rye, the Chief Executive of Tennessee, was the principal speaker. Gov. Rye paid a high tribute to the valor of the Negro soldier in the wars in which he participated. He paid his respects to the Negro citizens of Tennessee and that his state is offering to the Negroes in particular. "I know you are loyal to the flag, that you are worthy citizens and that you are ready to bare your breasts to the bullets in the protection of the flag that your senior class has seen fit to present to hits institution. Your noble sons and daughters add as much lustre to the name of the nation in the army in the furrows as they possibly can add in the trenches," declared Gov. Rye in the midst of the splendid address that was applauded by the enthusiastic student as well as a well as a sprinkling of veterans. Gov. Rye took occasion to pay a high tribute to Company A Tennessee National Guard under the command of Captain Hadley. Mayor Robert Ewing reviewed the record made by the nations of the world in each war. He put upon the sacrificial altar that nation and that people who would not pay respect to or give honor to manhood and womanhood. Mayor Ewing also worked with some at State Normal, and he did not fail what the Negro had accomplished as a citizen. Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., delivered an able address, which was sandwiched in between that of the Mayor and the Governor. Dr. Ellington spoke from the subject, "The origin and purpose of the American Flag." He quoted facts from the nations and all people, when they had so organized as a nation, followed some emblem or some ensign commonly called the flag. His was a beautiful presentation of historical facts. He was particular to show in his address the loyalty and devotion of the Negro to the stars and stripes. He made a beautiful elimax, rehearsing the fact that the Negro had never known what it is to surrender and have been known to be found in the ranks of anarchists or atheists. Among the other speakers of the day were Dr. Geo. W. Hubbard. President of Meharry Medical College; Dr. E. A. White, President of Walden University; Miss Katie A. Boyd, representing Pearl High School; Mr. A. N. Johnson, President of the Negro Board of Trade; Mr. C. N. Langston, assistant cacher of the One Cent Savings Bank; Rev. H. A. Boyd, representing the National Negro Program in charge of the senior class. Patriotic music was dispensed by the State Normal Band. President W. J. Hale also made a beautiful response when the flag was presented to him by a member of the class. Miss Jennie Durley made the presentation speech. After the exercises were over which were held in the chapel, the flag was raised on the main building with appropriate exercises, and while Old Glory was going up the mast pole, and played "The Stars and Stripes." The baceauratee sermon of the senior class of the State Normal will be delivered by Rev. N. B. Shambourger of Chattanooga, Tenn., Sunday, May 20th, at 3:30 o'clock. Commencement Tuesday, May 22nd. JESSE L. CHEATHAM DEAD. Jesse L. Cheatham, age 28, died at his home yesterday after a lingering illness. He is survived by a wife. Funeral today at First Baptist Church, East Nashville, Rev W. S. Ellington officiating. Mr. Cheatham was a valued employee of the National Baptist Publishing Board for a number of years. He was a conscientious Christian gentleman. A good attendance witnessed a good sermon. Sunday being the first, our regular meeting day, Rev. Wm. Henderson was at his post of duty. He preached an excellent sermon. Text found in St. John 15.1. "I am the true vine and my father is the husband." At night a spiritual sermon was again witnessed. Collection, seven dollars and thirty-one cents ($7.31) were given to J. Wagner and daughter, Mira Alber, ta were the welcome guests of her mother-in-law. Mrs. Nelson Wagoner last Sunday, April 29. NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1917. Thanksgiving Celebration Grand Order of Odd Fellows A Very Successful Affair. The Thanksgiving Services of the Lodges and Households of Ruth of the G. U. O. of O. F., at Spruce St, Baptist Church Sunday May 13th was one of the largest and best attended services held in several years. The day was an ideal one, the air crisp and somewhat cool. Yet with the Order of the Odd Fellows was in keeping with the day. Promptly at 2:30, Chief Marshal, Bro. Cornelius White, Sylvan City Lodge ushered his Brothers in preceded by the Ruthites and Juveniles whom seemed Endless. The Ruthites filled the North aisle of the spacious auditorium; the Juveniles filling more than half of the South Alce: the Odd Fellows were seated in the center and from the Rostrum a prettier picture could not be found. Only one thing was miserable and that was our beloved President, who was away in Virginia, but from the good will and sincerity which existed, we felt his heart was with us Bro. J. P. Porter as Master of Ceremonies was at his best and his words of admonition did not fail to reach the hearts of those who may have lost hope and courage. Bro. R. Wngfield Has ETAON SHR Heart on Odd Fellowship and gave some good substantial facts. The paper read by Mrs. Mattle R. Perry, P. M. N. G., Mariam H. H. R., was as excellent one. Much good. sound advice was given the Ruthites and the order in general. The paper deserves special mention. The Sermon was fine and enjoyed by the Order. Many good things were said by Rev. Brown proved himself a Lord of Odd Fellowship State of Grand-Master, Ira T. Bryant was the next speaker and it is needless to say, as every Odd Fellow. Ruthite and Juvenile knows that he is an advocate of every good thing that goes to make the Odd Fellows a success. His talk was heartily received by the Order and friends who regretted his time was so limited. A visitor, Bro. Russel from Louisiana, was introduced to the audience but owing to the lateness of the hour he did not speak. He will be heard at Greenwood Park at the Annual Picnic, June 18th. A liberal collection was taken by the Lodges, Households of Ruth and Juveniles. We can not feel well with special mention of the Patriotic Past members who were out in full regalia. On the Rustrum besides the officers of the Day were Attorney J. W. Grant, P. G. W., S. G. Master Ira T. Bryant, Mrs. Mattle Anthony and Josie Britt. WHAT IS EFFICIENCY? It is doing things, not wishing you could do them dreaming about doing them or wondering if you can do them. It is the power to learn how to do things by doing them, as learning to walk by walking, or learning to sell goods by selling them. It is knowing how to apply theory to practice. It is the trick of turning defeat into experience and using it to achieve success. It is the ability to mass one's personality at any given time or place; it is skill in quick mobilization of one's resources. It is making everything that is past minister to the future. It is the elimination of the microbes of weakness, regret, worry, and fear. It is self-reliance clothed with modesty. It is persistence plus politeness. It is the hand of steel in the velvet glove. It is alertness, presence of mind, readiness to adjust one's self to the unexpected. It is sacrificing personal feelings to the will to win. It is impinging the eo against the combination of events—luck, fate, custom and prejudice—until they give way. It is massing the me against the universe. It's the sum of the three quantities, purpose, practice, and patience. It is the measure of a man, the real size of his soul. It is the ability to use one's passions, likes, dislikes, habits, experience education, mind, body, and heart—and not to be used by these things. It is self-mastery, concentration, vision, and common sense. It is the sum total of all that's in a man—The National's Chat. Dr. J. P. Hickman and Messrs F. G. Hickman, Preston Scales, Bill Redman and William Lce Alexander motored to Nashville last Thursday to witness the Commencement of Mc harry. They attended a well attended and a pleasant trip.

The first annual meeting of the Volunteer State Funeral Directors and Embalmers' Association, conducted a two days' session Wednesday and Thursday at the Colored Y. M. C. A. Building, with a representative attendance. President Preston Taylor called the meeting to order, and invocation was offered by Secretary Wm. X. Sanders, who also delivered the address of welcome to the Association. An appropriate response was made by the Hon. G. W. Franklin, leading colored undertaker of Chattanooga, Tenn., and President of thee Na- Elder Preston Taylor, President Punnera Directors and Embalmera Elder Preston Taylor, President, Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association.

W. Franklin, President National Funeral directors and Embalmers Association who made an eloquent response to the Address, of Welcome. addressing a few words in response to the welcome address to the Association. On behalf of the Volunteer State Funeral Directors' Association of Tennessee, I wish to thank you out of the bottom of my heart for you President Nashville College of Embalming, who addressed the Funeral Directors and Embalmers on the sub site for Training for the Negro Embalmer. Divisions A. and B. Continued—Pledge Collection Systematized. Announcement was made Tuesday at the meeting of the Committee of Management that the second installment of ten thousand dollars had been paid on the Y. M. C. A. building. This augments the payment, making a total of twenty thousand dollars already having been paid. This announcement created a deal of satisfaction and was received by the membership of the committee. At the meeting the routing of operation was outlined by the chairman of the Committee of Management and the Executive Secretary, which was unanimously approved by the committee. It was definitely decided at this meeting to open the doritories of the building at once to those who desire quarters. A House Committee is to be named Friday night upon all applications made for these doritories. The same committee was instructed to put in a new supply of bed linen, towels and other necessary articles in order that each room may be in the most modern shape. A Membership Committee will also be named Friday night and a membership campaign put on at once. One of the most pleasing features of the meeting was the announcement that the building will be torn to deal Y. M. C. A. work. Several communications were read at the meeting where parties were making bids to lease some of the store space on the bot tom floor. One of the parties wants a five year lease and puts up a written agreement to open the fines catereria on the al a carte service plan that Nashville has ever seen. It was stated that the ladies' auxiliary would be given the same questions in making the doritories inviting. An appeal to the patriotic citizens of Nashville was voted to be made in the general support to the Y. M. C. A. work. words of welcome, which, in my opinion, were very kind and generous and undoubtedly have reached their destination in our hearts, in which direction I feel they were intended, and which have already made us feel very much at home here with you in the great city of Nashville that is known throughout the country for its great educational advantages, and like the great Tuskegee Institute, an air of refinement and culture is felt by an intelligent fellow-traveler immediately after arriving and setting foot upon its campus or premises. I further assure you that in welcoming to you city the men and women presenting this time-honored and praiseworthy profession, they represent, in my opinion, the class of people who would be styled as the "Burden Bearers of the Race." In many cases, the banks of the country will not trust a man if he is not well known, for even one dollar, without sufficient security. But, on the other hand, an undertaker will trust a man for ten dollars on his own personal honor, if he is impressed with the appeal the fellow makes, and is satisfied with the signs of honesty that may appear in his face. So, my dear sir, if you are willing to the keys of your beautiful city for the enjoyment of the people the state, we will endeavor to convince you that you have made no mistake. Muth credit is due President lor and Dr. Leach for their splendid effort at organization, which has brought together this splendid number of persons, who are actively engaged in the Funeral Directing Business, and having received such a cordial welcome, I trust it will tend to impress us with the importance of making good use of together in the city. Lastly, I want once again, on the part of the Association here assembled, to thank you and the good people of Nashville, whom you represent, for the very, very warm welcome extended us. Committees were then appointed and President Taylor delivered his annual address in which he reviewed his career as an undertaker in Nashville, Tenn. He gave valuable information as to the method and manner to proceed in order to sue the Office of the President Taylor. After the address of President Taylor, the meeting adjourned and enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by the Improvement Club of St. Paul A. M. E. Church at the expense of Mr. F. C. Guthrie, General Manager of the National Casket House. The principal feature of the afternoon session were the report of the Secretary, Dr. J. L. Leach, and the reports of the committees. The report of the Secretary reviewed the work of the establishment of the Association, and presented an account of the effort. The report was well received and showed special activity on the part of the Secretary. The Committee on President Taylor's Address, by-laws, Constitution, Auditing and Nomination Prof. S. H. Sherrill Delivered Principal Address Many in Attendance. As principal speaker in the exercises which marked the brilliant commencement at Roger Williams University Wednesday, Prof. S. W. Sherill, State Superintendent of Education sounded a very high note when he admonished the Negroes to take advantage of every possible opportunity to increase their education, whether it be under the direction of the state, the nation, or some particular denomination. A magnificent audience listened to Tennessee's state educator as he went over facts, supported by figures, in the realm of the educational world. Long before the exercises began the buildings of the university with the campus were viewed by many distinguished visitors from within and without the city who took in the magnificent location of one of Tennessee's oldest institutions of learning.

The fifty-first Annual Commencement exercise of Walden University was held n Meharry Auditorium at ten o'clock Wednesday morning, May 16. Seated upon the platform were the graduating classes, President E. A. White with invited guests, visiting ministers, the college faculty and members of Meharry College faculty.

A piano duet, Overture to Tancredil "Rossinell," was rendered by Miss Bowman and Mrs. H. H. Walker. The commencement address was delivered by Dr. George W. Bunton, pastor of Grace M. E. Church, Dayton, Ohio. He was listened to by an audience which greatly appreciated the thought and points of wit so aptly presented. The address followed the line of thought that ours is a great nation, not only great because of great cities and natural resources, but because of the great men it has produced. Our country is the greatest commercial centre of the world but may not so easily. In 'history repeats itself' Egypt in Jordan once it was in Solomon's kingdom, then in Spain, Greece, Western Europe, England and now in the United States. To keep the country great, not only must there be a few outstanding characters in the country, but all the people must rise to a high degree of culture, and an appreciation of truth, justice, and freedom. At the close of the address, the young Men's Glee Club rumbled a selection "Medley from the South."—Pike and responded to an encore with "The Way of the World"—Hatch. President E. A.

Discusses Negro Migration. Hampton, Va., May 14th. (Special to The Globe)—Maurice E. Thomason of Monticello, Ark., who is a member of the Hampton Institute Senior class, in discussing the question of Negro Migration, recently said: "The argument that only inefficient lawless, never-do-well men would be involved in the exodus has been amply disproved by the fact that thousands of most trustworthy men—men who have spent years in the employ of one firm—and many land owning farmers, as well as common laborers, have gone. Here lies the hope that when Southern white people have come to realize that better economic opportunities for Negroes do not decrease the prosperity of white men, but increase it, that better educated Negroes are not refractory, insurgent, but lawhiding, efficient citizens, then will Southern men not return to the old order." Greenwood Park. A delicious menu was served with ice and the men enjoyed a smoker and auto trips back to the city. The Association adjourned to meet again May 6, 17, 1918. ```markdown ``` Says She Hasn't Been Clear of a Cold for Six Months. "And For Whooping Cough It Can't Be Beat," Says Mrs. Moore. "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 in it you whooping cough so long as you have Lung-Vita in the house and use it. Those who use it don't cough and commit like those that do not use it. It is a wonderful medicinal." Lung-Vita is sold by druggists and dealers. - Adv. Mr. B. P. Lockridge to Speak at Bryant's Grove. Grove to a mass meeting. A large On the third Sunday May 20th, Mr. B. P.

OAKLAND In view of the terrible crisis we are facing now Oakland is alert. Acres of feedstuff are up and still we are planting. "Preparedness" is being heralded from the pulpits, the teacher's desk, the Sunday school superintendent's chair, and indeed the word has become the common slogan of pedestrians. However, the very cold weather is much of a setback to the growing stuff. While we are making rapid strides to feed ourselves and looking after our physique, we are not asleep as to our educational and social responsibilities. Indicative of this are endeavors to build a creditable school building here. We feel that shortly our aims will be accomplished. On last I. S. Lee, D. D., of Memphis, Tenn., lectured in the interest of our school. His talk was both instructive and inspiring. A large crowd gathered to hear him at the Oakland C. M. E. Church. Another feature of the night might enjoy the music rendered by the "Sillie La quarteette," composed of (our) Leo Quarteette, singers by our churches, viz., Oakland C. M. E. and Belle Grove Baptist. These churches when completed will be very beautiful and will bespeak much intelligence on the part of their members. Sunday was a high day at Bell Grove. There was a great rally. The Revs. Collier and Mebane were the pulpit orators. Their subjects were respectively "Adoption" and "Consecration." My credit is due to the Young Men's Industrial Club of the young men of Oakland in the rally and to the Willing Workers who raised $23.55. Among the out town visitors here this week were Mr. and Mrs. Noble Owens, Mrs. Leman Person and Bettie Kidd, Dr. G. Watkins and Dr. L. S. Powell and family, Dr. I. S. Lee, Miss Pauline Dandridge and Mrs. Maudie Hays. MT. CARMEL We are having some very cool nights and days in our community. The old settlers say it is all due to blackberry winter. Sunday was a great day with the people here in all of the churches. Rev. Hurron of Memphis preached a noble sermon for Rev. G. A. Griffin at Mt. Tipton C. M. E. Church. Rev. C. K. Smith of Varya Chapel A. M. E. Church, preached the annual thanksgiving sermon for Mt. Carmel Lodge No. 7707 G. U. O. of O. F. Smith is called the black angel of Tipton County and he was listened to with marked attention. He used as a text Matt. 5th chapter, 13th verse. "We are the salt of the earth." Every colored man in Tipton is ready and of the proper age is ready to fight Germany whenever the call is made. Miss Susie Yarbro is visiting Mrs. M. Malone this week. Mrs. Lizzie Jackson is sick. Rev. John Mehane filled his pulpit at King Chapel Church Sunday, delivering a strong sermon to a very large congregation. The King Chapel choir practice each Wednesday night. The chorister requests all members to be present. See Wm. Lewis Alexander for the Nashville shop. NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MAY 18. 1917. Dr. J. H.

Among the most active of the organized Classes among the Baptist churches of the city are the Metoka and Galeda Classes of the Pleasant Green Baptist Church. Miss Erma Duncan, President of the Galeda Class and Miss minnis the efficient Secretary from a fine working team. Mr. Johnson, the teacher of this class is one of the most experienced Sunday school workers in the city and a deal of the success of this class is due to his leadership. The Metoka Class is also a strong organization, the officers of this class are putting forth every effort to bring this class up to the high water mark. For several quarters past it has been the custom to have a rally between the two classes. The class that won would entertain the victorious class, while they themselves ate beans and corn bread. This feature of Sunday school work was the source of a very pleasing entertainment held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter da Silva, who wrote Si. was a day night. The Metakas were vitoora for this quarter and they were elaborately served by Mrs. Washington who is one of the best caterers in the city. A special program of music and addresses was carried out.

Phillip Harris, the brother of Mrs. Rachel McCullough, who for many years had made his home in the state of Ohio, died in the city of Dayton Ohio, on the 7th day of April 1917.

BROWNSVILLE Mr. Isaiah Taylor departed this life last Sunday, May 14, 1917, after an illness of many months. He was 78 years old and spent the greater portion of his life in the service of the Lord. He was the oldest officer and class leader of Farmers Chapel. Until a few years ago when health failed, he was very dutiful to his church always taking a delight in any kind of Christian work that was assigned him to do. He was a Christian character of the highest type. He bore his illness with the fortitude of Christian Brother Taylor was an old resident of Brownsville, highly respected by all who knew him. He was of a kind disposition, a devoted husband and a loving father. Funeral services were conducted on Monday afternoon at Farmers Chapel by Rev. S. P. Morrow. Interment took place at the Magnolia Ceme ery, the beautiful cemetery owned by the Sisters of Charity of this city. A. A. Bond and son were the uncle-takers.

Mashille, Tenn., May 11, '17 GARDENING V. SPECULATING. There is nothing to prevent the thrifty housewives from going ahead with their crafty campaign of bidding up prices on one another by laying in stores of flour and sugar and canned goods for which they have no immediate need. That is to say, there is no statute law against this form of food speculation, which differs only in degree from the sort of thing you have seen roundly denounced in the newspapers. The ladies who go into it should understand that they are taking chances, how ever, just as the big speculators are. The forehanded housewife should be prepared to take a loss, if necessary just as gamely as the big operator on the board of trade. There are several reasons why persons who buy large advance supplies of food at present prices may later regret their enterprise. Perhaps the most interesting possibility just now is government regulation of food supplies. If the government ever gets to fix the price of wheat it will be fixed under the abnormally high level now prevailing. The same is true of other necessities. The price of canned goods is on the knees of the gods. The vegetable situation next fall is an unknown quantity. If all the new garden plants now being planted the country over produce good yields there are going to be heaps and heaps of potatoes and beans and onions and cabbages and assorted vegetables from acres which never figured in previous harvests. Having taken the trouble to raise all this stuff, the amateur truck gardeners are going to see that it is conserved in one way or another. Granted good yields, the county has never seen such an orgy of house-hold canning and preserving as will be willed in this country next fall. With good growing weather and nearly every family interested in growing some, the chief autumn difficulty may relate to securing store houses in which to store the food. Not much of an over-supply would be needed to make a big difference in the general level of food prices. The possibility that the war may end before winter also will cut some figure in the equation. Even if the war should end, there will be use for all the food the world can harvest next fall, but the element of panic would be removed from the price making, and an immediate tendency toward a return to the normal should be mani fested. The really good housewife will plan her economy campaign along the line of production rather than speculation. If she can induce Friend Husband or the boys to put in a garden, or if she is a believer in equal rights, put one in herself she will have purchased the most effective kind of insurance against the possible lean year to come. Whatever may happen to prices, whether through government intervention or over-production or war suspension, potatoes and sweet corn and beans and tomatoes can be used to advantage in any American household. And their production on the home premises will have proved an economy, without taking into consideration the added freshness and flavor that always distinguishes the home product. The way of the food speculator, large or small, is beset with worries detrimental to sound slumber. The lines of the home gardener are cast in pleasant places with plenty or good eats and sleeps included in the rewards of honest toll. THEODORE ROOSEVELT Theodore Roosevelt has again won the hearts and, in a large degree, the minds of the American people. Until death shall still his strenuous voice. few of us will be ready hereafter to revise our estimates of him. Yet there is nothing strange or obscure about this man. All his acts have been intensely human; in fact, humaneness is the keynote of the genius and character of Theodore Roosevelt. If the lineage of Roosevelt could be traced back to the cave dwellers we think we should find his prehistoric progenitors fighting with massive clubs and the largest bones they could lay hands on. Switches and ribs would not have sufficed them. We believe that at the end of this war the historian will be able to fix for all time the place of Theodore Roosevelt. In a world sense that place may be above that of Lincoln. We say this with due care and reverence for the memory of the man who, more than any other, bore the sorrows of the war for human freedom. If fate shall so decree that Col. Roosevelt shall bear the American flag to the firing line in France he will become a national idol in that war torn country and in England, taking his place among their own revered immortals. Now would this be at altogether dependent on a decision of the conflict favorable to them, for unless all our cherished ideas of heroism founded on virtue and courage shall perish as a result of this speechless affliction of Prussianism, mankind will continue to erect its monuments. From what at times seemed to be dabbling in small politics and other pursuits for which the masses had but little patience, Theodore Roosevelt has redeemed himself to the uttermost. It is doubtful whether any act of his in the future will be able to separate him from this last and best redemption. Today, wherever democracy is loved and held sacred no name is uttered with more pride and emotions of patriotism than that of Theodore Roosevelt. THE END OF THE WROLD. The public is being treated to many remarks relative to the present conflict and the end of the world. People who set these forth profess to back them by scripture. The assumption seems to be that humanity has become hopelessly sinful and must be destroyed in order that a reign of love and peace may crown a new earth. We have no patience with these plious speculations. The war was not brought about by universal wickedness, far from it. The masses were and are still pleading for peace. It is an absolute and undeniable fact that a little company of Prussian military dictators wrenched the nations with this horrible cataclysm. The German people outside of this conquest thirsty, coterie of militarism were largely ignorant of the intentions of their dictators and innocent of evil desires. Why then should God destroy a beautfully conceived world because of the misdeeds of a comparatively insignificant few? We are sure he will not do so. In time, the days of evil and sorrow will pass. A few have offended beyond words to express. In due season God will deal with these according to their deeds. But as for the rank and file they left "the quiet tenor of their ways" because they were forced to do so. AT LAST At last, the Tennessee, and American has had its eyes opened to the harsh treatment accorded the Negroes of Nashville by policemen. We are truly glad, that the morning paper has seen the light. Harshness, and uncalled for oppression should cease. If the Negro carries his grievances to the City Commission the verdict is always exoneration for the offending officer. There has never been any punishment, not even a reprimand dealt out to any officer for mistreatment of Negroes. The Negro citizens of Nashville, are in the main law-abiding, industrious and have long borne the indignities heaped upon them, but seeing no hope for a cessation of abuse they are leaving for more congenial climes. Right here we wish to congratulate Mr. Ben January, and the Co-operative Club for putting the issue squarely before the white commercial organizations of Nashville, and especially Mr. January for his heart-to-heart talk with the manager of the Tennessee and American. Ben has done more for the Negroes of Nashville, than any of these loud mouth spouters who claim the earth and the fullness thereof. Dr. Whit Wright, the versatile writer who dished up our theatrical news each week, has left us for his home, Savannah, Georgia. Excuse us while we weep. Dr. Wright will be greatly missed from our columns. May success attend him always. Even from the standpoint of a real man who is a smoker, there is little real excuse for the existence of the cigarette.

And, furthermore we haven't seen old Owen's Gate City Bulletin for three weeks. What the'll is the trouble old scout? Don't you adore us as of yore? There usually is someone in Congress ready and willing to argue for any cause. Will not some accommodating statesman arise and drop a few eloquent remarks about the beauties of the volunteer method of taxpaying. The disappearance of Richmond Pearson Hobson from the immediate neighborhood of the spotlight just as this time is most unfortunate. He has waited long to go to war. In view of the shortage of destroyers, it might be well for the government to mobilize the stogie users to help rovide that smoke screen that is so invaluable to the battle fleet. All right, Mr. Hoover, if food control will reduce the present price of flour from 40 to 50 per cent and still treat the producer literally, you may control when you are ready. Why bother about arranging a picnic for the Fourth of July? Most of us will have to spend the day picking potato bugs anyway. "There is no more urgent matter before us than the food question," declares Secretary Houston. There never is. Having vindicated the principle of free speech, we shall now proceed to prove that we don't give a hang about the application of it. Besides, ther is some of the American railway passenger equipment that we could easily reconcile ourselves to losing. All the allies need from Uncle Sam is money, munitions, food, ships and men. Fortunately Uncle Sam has all kinds in stock. To date, the war slogan proposed by Marse Henry remains without a serious rival in the important essential of pungency. If you want to convince the community that you are a patriot, do something to prove it besides making your mouth go. How many young women of this generation realize what a beautiful accomplishment it is to be a first class cook. Mother would give up her own day rather than cut short baby's week by a single hour. That's mothers way. Life is so short that the most surprising thing in the world is that some people want to kill time. --- Now watch the Limekiln Club try to claim credit for the editorial in last Friday's Tennessee and American. Our civic organizations should do a little constructive work and seek less newspaper notoriously. Some women have as much fun recovering from operations as some men have fishing. The long skirts which the style experts told us about some weeks ago appear to have been delayed in transit. Up to the hour of going to press no one has attempted to corner mustard greens. At last Germany is going to do us the honor of considering our national in that country as hostile foreigners. Bread is a useful filler, but John Chinaman gets along without it for years at a time. No tax that is higher than a man can afford to pay will prove a revenue producer. When the Germans heard that P. F. Hill, was going to enter the officers' training camps, they said. Oh! gloom! Although it takes two to make a quarrel. It is usually easy to get that many together. --- Dig the dandelion! And whatever you do, don't forget to save the greens! Or, in other words, Congress felt at liberty to censor that censorship clause. There is no objection to hoarding your next winter's coal supply, however. When the flags go up, prices go along. There is, however, no objection to hauling down the prices. "No, I never eat pork," used to carry presumption of refinement. Now it carries suspicion of poverty. Or, prtting it another way the war may be won with the last bushel of wheat. Spring house cleaning doubtless will fit many a man for the strenuous service of war. The cost of flour is a signal to the American farmer that his country needs him. Ther isn't any such thing as the last ton. If worse came to the worst, Marshal Joffre would do great in vaudeville. War is what Sherman said, and it costs like it. But, the Young Men's Co-operative Club blazes the way. And. Brother Gardner sees every body's shortcomings but his own.

The Official News Bulletin issued by order of the President giving out official war news has reached Postmaster Shannon with instructions to place it in the lobby of the Postoffice where it can be read by the public. The Postmaster has accordingly placed it in the lobby convenient to the General Delivery window where the public is invited to call and get all official war news. The Bulletin is to be issued daily and the Postmaster stated Monday that under no circumstances must it be removed from the Postoffice lobby. He That Hath An Ear Let Him Hear! Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., This expression or sentence like many made and said sounds lightly but when taken into consideration is as weighty as time itself. Men and women, official and unofficial are hurling the word broadcast to the people all over the American continent to prepare to feed themselves, but strange to say thousands are asleep and seem as though they can not be awakened. But there is an enemy of mankind that never fails to awake mankind, and unless man is prepared to meet him and fully prepared to do so ruin is sure to overtake him. His name is HUNGER. Once he enters the throat, he never leaves the system until the body is satisfied. But when satisfaction cannot be given it is terrible indeed. Oh! the terror, the embarrassment one minute, the man ever tell exasperation he had the need to explain we do not want this kind of experience, but we need this point of overtaking us, and it is sure to come if the war is to hold on very long. Why not hear while it is time? Yea more than that, while any one can hear and the sacred-call of self-preservation. To be prepared will depend largely upon the thrift, energy, push and industry of the individual. We had all better hear the call now while it can be heeded. Many of those who are warning have felt the pinch of hunger whether by war or otherwise. They know from experience the results of such a condition. Better begin now before the dreadful scourge shall come. Acquaint yourself with mother earth who in return will supply your needs. If the millions shall go on in this year without heeding the call to prepare, the worst will come to each of us. It is nonsense to go on in this untaintant way. No man can eat cattail. He will surely die Plant something to eat that it is productive. Men may go heedless but in a moment when they think not, certain destruction will come. This call and warning must have come from above because God has so arranged it that the earth is ready to yield up abundantly to those who heed this call. And we must remember that this is a world-wide war and the worst that the people have ever known. Some of the most valuable men in the nation are to go from the corn-field to the war never to return. Some are to be taken from the mills and a few left. Commerce in every branch is to be blocked while food stuff must be stifled if success is to be ours. Be careful to take heed. This war is to write its message on the pages of history indelibly. No eraser can ever erase it. I beg again and again—make this year tell for food, for man, and for God. If you have not heard the call, hear now. YOU ARE INVITED TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS. NASHVILLE. TENN.. JUNE 13-18. 1917. "Lend a Helping Hand." To the colored women of the Rural Districts of Tennessee, Greetings tricts of Tennessee, Greeting:- Dear Sisters:We see in the Nashville Globe and in other papers, reports describing the women of the cities are organized for mutual benefit and inspiration, and that in this way they are able to do more for themselves as well as for their neighbors; they can thereby keep a gentle hold upon the young people, and be a help in guiding many of them into a glorious manhood and womanhood. If the women of the cities need this they who have their churches with able pastors, their excellent schools, free lectures and demonstrators; how very much do we women of the rural districts need to be organized? There was a time when every woman was supposed to be interested only in the care of her own home and children, but today we have a wider field, and should live up to our State Motto, which is "Lend a Helping Hand." Let us organize; let us form ourselves into clubs for study for exchange of ideas and for the mutual betterment of our home life and community, and there by improve race life. Our living in the country is no excuse and being interested in the questions of the day that affect the people, and women in particular, in the betterment of their homes and communities. In club work we receive instruction, encouragement and inspiration. Remember, we are anxious to improve Health Conditions as well as Educational Conditions. This is the time of year to begin our crusade on flies, and all other pests that breed germs of disease. We can put up screens of mosquito netting if nothing better. We can have our physiological studies done. We can lectures and lecture to us on various questions on the preservation of health, Temperance, Morals and other subjects of interest. Where school terms are short, we can encourage our patrons to provide for longer terms. Organize Parent Teachers Associations for the betterment of all. We are anxious for our people to take a new start in the matter of home-improvement. Many of our young people become dissatisfied with home because of conditions that might be improved with little effort. Then again we fail to provide for proper entertainment for our young people, and leave them to their own devices for entertainment just wherever they have a mind to find it. Through this neglect many of our boys and girls go astray. It would be well for us to keep young with our children and join them in the pleasant times we plan for them, thus enjoying continued youth while our presence in their social gatherings will be a protection. That these and many other things may be done, it is necessary that we grow more, and have a greater variety of food-stuff, that we look well to points of economy and work more intelligently. By organized effort we, as country people, can do very much to make our farm life what it ought to be.

One of the most interesting social events of the season, was the entertainment given by the members of the Relief Club at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Cannon, 635 Allison St. last Friday evening. Mrs. Cannon assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Henry Rye threw open the doors of their beautiful home in a most hospitable manner. The guests began to arrive promptly at 8:30 and Mrs. Lizzie Mere dith served to each one, a glass of punch. And by nine o'clock, the house including sixy guests, besides the members of the club, was packed to its utmost capacity. This marks the celebration of the club's tenth anniversary. Aside from being one of the oldest clubs in the city, it ranks high as one of the most charitable organizations of its kind, having rendered many deeds of kindness to suffering humanity. Too much cannot be said of Mrs. Susan Johnson, for it was through her consolidated efforts and great activity as President that has made the club what it is to-day. Great credit is also due Mrs. Johnson to the Secretary, and other members of the club, for exquisite taste in decorating and the artistically arranged program which was carried out through the entire evening. At ten o'clock the guests were invited into the dining room, where a beautiful table laden with many delicious delicacies was spread. On the beautiful centerpiece stood a glass candlestick which indeed was a work of art. Eloquent speeches were made by the President, followed by other speakers of prominence. After song and prayer, the Victoria offered many beautiful selections. One main paper napkin, given as souvenirs, one present on which was stamped the flag of Uncle Sam, which indicated that the Negro was well versed into the great war preparedness. At a late hour the guests departed, each ex pressing themselves as being highly elated with this, one of the greatest of all women's business leagues. Miss Ballentine's Dinner. Miss Eddie L.

JUNE 13-18. 1917. TRAT AWFUL ENCAMPMENT. NEW EVIDENCE OF IN- For a number of weeks and months the Vanguard has been full of display advertisement, long letters, urgent appeals and everything that the old leaders could think of, calling attention and urging upon the people the idea of a great encampment to be held on the campus of the Arkansas Baptist College during the closing week of that school, or to be more specific, during commencement week. Every one of the old-liners that had any influence or thought he had any influence did his little best to arouse the people to bring them forth. A long standing letter of the most urgent and exacting nature from the old Boss Chief Encamper, President of the Incorporated National Baptist Convention and old-line State Convention, was kept in the eyes of the people of the state. This backed up by the editorials of the local domestic encamper of thirty years' standing, backed up by the royal messages of Encamper Sandeuf, the head of the State Sunday school forces of Arkansas, backed up by Camper Adams and all of the other encampers, in spite of all of these urgent appeals from the old-line campers, the matter fell through and demonstrated what hath been demonstrated time and time again, that those old encampers had gone to the length of their cable's tow, and were simply dangling at the end of their cable a lot of dead ducks. They did not have the power nor the influence, nor the magnetism, nor the reputation, nor the ability to arouse the people. The people demonstrated by act rather than words that they are simply tired of them. It was the most pitiable sight that the editor of the People's Defender has ever witnessed, a most distressing, deplorable sight, to see Camper Booker, Camper Adams, Camper McCrary and a few of the old campers strolling around and about the beautiful campus at 16th and High streets, seemingly looking up to God whom they had long since forsaken, pleading for help and for other encampers to come to their assistance. Not only did the people of the state and city fail to respond to their urgent appeals, but the students themselves were standing around in little squads as if to say, we are simply discouraged with the great bragging commencement that was made by the president that hundreds and thousands of persons would be here when in fact and in reality there were scarcely any out-of-town people on the campus. The editor of the People's Defender has said time and again and still repeats that the management is entirely incompetent. We are told, and if reports be true, a large tent was rented and placed on the campus at the cost of $100. A collection was called to reimburse the college fund, the collection amounted to $5. We are not prepared to say just what the collection in full was, but it was only $12 according to reliable reports. Now as to the incompetency, can't anybody see who has sense enough to get out of a shower of rain that in these hard times that it is foolhardiness to take money that ought to be given to teachers and to the boarding department and to the paying of honorable and legitimate bills, to take money, we say, and expend it for a tent and place it on the campus where people will almost freeze, catch the pneumonia and incur doctor's bill, when a splendid hall erected for the purpose of college entertainments, and college days and college commencements was on hand. It demonstrates the Big-Eyed-Ness of the Management. No doubt the management had been led to believe that hundreds of encampers would be present, and raise several hundred or perhaps thousands of dollars. It is simply the business foolishness that enters into the brain of those in control. That is why the institution is where it is today, is because of the foolish methods pursued and programs carried out. This encampment was a new ruse on the part of the old-line leaders; it is simply a new name for old hash. The people knew that it meant the same old thing, but they wrapped it up in a new garment and called it encampment. They thought they would do the people like the spider did the fly, but the people know the winding stairs of that sang, and the people are not going to follow them into their little parlor of death. It is said by them that the Progressive movement in the state will not have any following. This encampment demonstrates most clearly that the old-liners have no following. The people are simply sitting quietly by, listening at the big talk, hearing the loud squealing appeals, looking at the frantic efforts put forth, but they are simply sitting by, watching, quietly watching the baby die. There is no appeal, there is no method, there is no game that the Booker-Morris-Adams-Sandur-fur McCray- Lovelace- Patterson-Chism-Knowles-Caver-Jimerson combine can play or make that will deliver them from the throes of defeat. The people cannot be aroused by them. The Progressive movement may not be able to get into the churches and give the people the proper information, the proper stimulation that will cause them to be come active, but there is one thing that is certain, the old-liners will never be able to arouse them. It may be impossible to ever break their deadly grip upon the people's throat, but it is certain that the people will never again respond to them and their appeals. The work will simply die unless new hands, new hearts and new minds lay hold of it. This encampment demonstrates that, Hurrah for the Campers. You will have to get another name, boys, because the people have sat down on that name good and hard. Hurrah for the campers. —The People's Defender. The United States seems to have been plunged into the war up to the very neck. Everybody is sufficiently acquainted with the incidents leading up to the war. Many people doubtless are opposed to the war, but since the government has accepted war as its policy, then let everybody, every citizen push the government's side of the case. This war, however, is going to cost the people enormously. If the bill that is now before Congress passes, every citizen in the United States will be taxed $33 per head annually. This does not only apply to citizens of age, but to individuals, as we understand it, it is to average that per capita of every individual in the United States. The United States government finding itself up against the proposition is leaving no stone unturned to equip itself for the inevitable fray. Colonel Roosevelt, ex-president of the United States, is exerting all of the influence and power at his command to be permitted by the government to carry a division of soldiers to the very seat of war. He desires very much to enter into the active battlement. There is, however, considerable objections to his plan, but he has had su client influence thus far to hold up the entire war measure unless that position is retained. In some respects, it would be a delightful occasion of history to see an exponent leading a force of Americans in a foreign country. We do not know of a man better prepared and fitted in courage and in partiality to lead an American force to the very front of the war than is Teddy Roosevelt. The moral influence of such an act upon the part of the government cannot be estimated for the world would expect some great things of the American soldier were he to enter into the active fighting of the war. Its influence doubtless would be great also upon the German. Teddy is always ready for the spectacular and that which makes history, both for himself and for his country. If he should be permitted to lead a division of American soldiers to the seat of war in a foreign country, he would doubtless make a name for himself, greater, if possible, than that which he already has, returning back to his native country after the war is over, he would simply be an invincible factor in the management and conduct of the American government. After all, no doubt but what Teddy is not looking ahead to such conditions. Since writing we understand his plan has been defeated by Congress. —The Peoples Defender The moral growth and development of our state seems to be clearly indicated in the arrest and conviction of Senator S. C. Sims, who was a member of the last State Legislature of Arkansas. He was accused, arrested and indicted for receiving a bribe of $1,000 to work and use his official strength in opposition to legislative enactments that came up before that honorable body. His conviction expresses the healthy sentiment that exists in the moral atmosphere of our state. While the People's Defender does not rejoice at the downfall and entanglement of any man, and yet there is nothing that appeals to us as more gracious and in keeping with decency than that men shall be prohibited from being elected to public official place, and then use that public official place for personal gain at the expense of the public's good. Prosecutor Dunaway is to be congratulated for not permitting anything to throw him from the course. The jurors are also to be congratulated because every man who violates the law, especially if that law is a good one, should be brought to task, whether that man be high or low, rich or poor, black or white. The laws are made for violators, regardless to creed or color, and when our state rises up in its moral sense of duty, and in an indiscriminate way deal out justice to everybody, then the state becomes a healthy place in which to live, and laws become active deterents to criminals.

QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over 25 years experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care, and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seeby's QUINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c each or will be sent direct by Seebv Drug Co., 10 N. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price. Write for sample of QUED ADE, mentioning the name of this paper. (Adv.) Our Churches. Shiloh Baptist Church.

The plans for the entertainment of the messengers who will come to the city to attend the National Baptist Sunday School Congress was the leading feature of the meeting Monday morning. The ministers present pledged themselves by a unanimous vote, to request all of the Baptist Churches of the city that are represented in the Minister's Alliance to contribute five dollars each to the finance Committee which was appointed to raise sufficient funds to take care of the expense of the Congress. To say that theer is an ideal ministers' Alliance practically in progress which meets each week at the Chapel of the mother of the race, the mother of the draft plans for the general advancement of the Baptists intesest of the same. The great question of the national Mother's Day as proclaimed by the Government of the United States was discussed, and many helpful facts were ascertained from the same. It was decided that the Black race must be taught more and more to honor the mothers of the race, and give to them their proper place in race building and in Christianizing the world. Founded upon these facts, "Honor the father and mother, that your days may be long on the land that the Lord God give thee." Therefore the respect and care of Mother is the command of Christ. Possibly the last words of executive relation that were spoken by Jesus were, "Behold, or take care of Mother"; as He was long yonder upon the Cross. Respectfully submitte, Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D.

BAPTIST MINISTERS AFTER FOUR YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC INVESTERGATION IN MEDICAL SCIENCE FINISH WITH HONOR FROM MEHARRY COLLEGE THE LEADING MEDICAL SCHOOL IN THE SOUTH FOR NEGROES, AND IS REWARDED WITH A MEDICAL DIPLOMA BY THAT INSTITUTION The Rev. A. C. Kenan, B. D. M. D., the Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Murfreesboro, Tenn., graduated from the Meharry Medical College in a class of 98 Meds, on Thursday evening May 3, 1917, which was indeed the largest and best class that the institution has given to the Public in years. Rev. Kenan came to this state from the State of Alabama about four years ago, and has pastored one of the leading churches in Middle Tennessee, and at the same time kept his studies in the great Medical Institute, and thus he has given a technical stamina to the ministers by holding his own in the class among the college students, who has nothing else to do but to prepare their lessons. Investigation shows, that the Rev. Kenan, though pastoring a large Baptist Church and burdened the cares of the same, he signified the minors standing a scientific examination in Medicine. The writer wishes to commend him to the Baptist family as being indeed a man, minister and now Medical Doctor that is worthy of our highest respect of support. It is the wishes of the Baptist State Board of Missions and the Executive Board of the Missionary Baptists State Convention, that God may continue to bless this minister and his family, as he shall climb and lift the race and denomination to higher heights of usefulness.

TENN., JUNE 13-18 1917. Negroes To Demand Work At Charleston Navy Yard. (Charleston American.) The announcement from officials in charge of the clothing factory at the Charleston navy yard that only white women would be employed as operators, in spite of the insistent demand of colored women in the last two days that they be employed, was published in the daily papers in this city, and has met with instant protest from the Negroes of the community. The statement, made last right by representation of the Negroes, was that demands had been made on the recorder of the labor board at the navy yard for application blanks for employment, and at the postoffice and the office of the director of labor in the custom house, but that the response has been that no Negroes would be employed at the clothing factory. The reasons given, it was said, were those ad hoc orders by officials in the yard, that there could be no mingling of the races, and there was no provision for segregation. On the other hand, the Negroes claim that an American citizen, in a national emergency called upon to their patriotic duty in offering themselves for employment at a government plant, they have the same right to employment in the clothing factory as the white people. The further claim is made that the new building of the clothing factory, to be opened June 1, will need 600 operators, and they can fill the building with Negro women, thus avoiding any mingling of the races. May Lose Factory The officials of the clothing factory, in a statement last night, say that if there is any dissention in regard to employment the Navy Department will move the clothing factory and Charleston to a new, equipped efficient plant that means a great deal to this community in many ways. They indicate that there will be no backward step in their attitude to employ only white women in the factory, as outlined in their statement published yesterday, and that the contention will only lead to a disagreement that will mean the loss of the factory to Charleston. There the matter stands. Fight to Finish. The Negroes state that they have made preparations for a determined fight for what they consider their rights. The matter is one, they claim, that affects their rights as citizens of the United States, and they will carry the fight to the highest court in the land to effect a settlement. The navy yard clothing factory obviously says that the matter is already closed, as far as employment of the Negroes is concerned, and they will stand back of the announcement made that there shall be only white women employed in the factory. Yesterday an effort was made by the Negroes to obtain application blanks at the postoffice, at the office of the director of labor in the custom house and the office of the recorder of the labor board at the navy yard. A black Negro woman was sent to each place to ask for an application blank. She was refused. Directly following her a light colored Negress asked for an application blank, and was given one at each place. That was the only identical, that in the case of the light colored Negress the impression was that she was a white woman—otherwise she would not have been given the blank. Thus, the stigated the requests, immediately asked why one was refused and the other granted blanks. The answers Negroes claim, it is made plain that the Negroes will be refused blanks Call for 1.000. The Negroes are calling for a thousand of their race to apply today at the electric element at the clothing factory. They say that one out of three applicants may be thrown out by the labor board, and thus at least 600 of their race will be given the opportunity of employment in the clothing factory.

All these matters affecting the life of our young men are matters of vital concern to the Committee of Management. And it is predicted that before long these matters will be well in hand and on the way. It is interesting to note that the committee is giving this work. This is first time that steps as are about to be taken have ever been seriously considered by any group of men in Nashville. It is the earnest wish of the Association movement in whose interest these men are acting, that all who are interested will be liberal in their views.

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS, NASHVILLE TENN. JUNE 13-18, 1917. Death of Mrs. Sallie Wilson. After a lingering illness covering a period of four years, Mrs. Sallie Wilson of 1919 Cedar street died at the Vanderbilt Hospital Monday, May 9th. Mrs. Wilson was the mother of Mrs. Anna Hughes of Franklin, Tenn., Mamie Wilson of Monroe, La., and Miss Sadie B. Wilson of this city. Although a native of Franklin, Williamson county, Tennessee, she had lived in Nashville for a number of years, coming to this city for the educational advantages it offered to the children. The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon from the residence of the family on Cedar St. The Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., the pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, of which the deceased was a member, had charge of the funeral and preached the sermon. Rev. J. Slaughter pastor of the Baptist Church at Franklin, and Rev. T J Patton, ed. Franklin, assisted, W. S. W. Ellington read the oldinary, a quarter from the National Baptist Publishing House授课 of Messrs. L. Gray and A. G. Price and Misses Jennie Dunson and Ruth Allison, revered "we shall walk through the valley and the shadow of death" and NASHVILLE: GLOBE. FRIDAY MAY 18. 1917. 523 Second Avenue, North "Before this time another year I may be gone." Friends from all parts of the city viewed the remains throughout the week, as the news of her death spread rapidly all over the city and many messages of condolence were sent to the family from within and without the state. The following obituary was read by Dr W. S. Ellington: Mrs. Salle Maury Wilson was born February 29th, 1865, in Franklin, Tenn., Williamson County. Died Monday, May 7, 1917, Nashville, Tenn. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Geary Maury, who were well known and respected citizens of Franklin. Although the family was large and though the parents were just emerging from the depths of slavery, they managed to rear the children and give them such religious and educational training and advantages, as the county of Williamson afforded. She attended the schools that were being taught for the colored children, which were not to be compared with those of today. She was married to Mr. James Wilson of Franklin. From this union three children were born, all of whom she reared in the same religious at mosshpell, giving to them such education as her means could afford. In the home she was a faithful wife, a loving, affectionate and indulgent mother, always sacrificing her own comfort and pleasure so that the three girls might have her part. In the community she was an exceptional neighbor, demanding the respect and admiration of all who knew her. After the death of her husband, which occurred while the wife was weeping, she was left to battle with problems she fronted her in caring for them. Still she did not falter, but gave to each a real true mother's love and care. She was a Missionary Baptist in her religious faith, a member of Mt Olive Baptist Church and a consistent and earnest worker until stricken with poor health. To know her was but to love her, with a beautiful voice always kind and sympathetic. She drew a heavy toll upon all for friendship, even in her hours of greatest agony and suffering she retained her sweet disposition. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Anna Wilson-Hughes of Franklin Miss Mamie Wilson of Monroe, La. and Miss Sadie Beulah Wilson. A sister, Mrs. Serena Ewing, of Kansas City, Kansas; a brother, Mr. Gentry Maury, of Chicago, Ill., and a host of friends to mourn their loss. She allways said she was ready whatever the Lord called for her. Even though she suffered for four years, her faith was never shaken in the Eternal. She was especially fond of and often repeated Revelation 14th chapter, 13th verse, "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write blessed from henceforth; Ye saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Patriotic Play Will Be A Success.

There was a great and exciting game last Sunday between the Swifts and the Maroons. With Shadow on the hill for the Maroons the boys were all yelling "Some on Shadow, we are all behind you," and they were. South Nashville stands solid for their boys and that right but they can't stand to see them go down. When they found that the Swifts were weak, they were very anxious to start the game on time and when old McGraw was asked whether or not that we were ready, he replied, "I haven't the strength of my team here but to keep in the bounds of the law I will start the game with what men I have," and the Swifts sent out their young recruit and would have beaten the Maroons but the young 15-year old catcher. Price, lost the game by using his good whip too much. The Swifts bunch of youngsters landed on Shadow in every inning. Watkins, Turner, Johnson and Ford, the strength of McGraw's bunch on account of the poor car service, were unable to reach the park in time to save the same, so they went down to the Maroons by a score of 8 to 7. Sunday, the Swifts are going to play the Champion Sox at Greenwood Park and as the Sox have just come down to the heavy bunch of Ellison men in the park, they will go down to the same way, they will go down to McGraw's bunch of kids Sunday because they are going out to the park early and are going to carry their big Red, White and Blue clubs and they sure can use them to perfection. Come out Sunday and see them knock out Moorman and Venson in two innings. By W. A. Miller The Champion Black Sox lost their first game of the season to the Nationals. The Nationals played a great game and won t. Mr. Williams pitched a steady game and deserved to win with all the praise that is due a pitcher. Mr. Branham, the Sox's star pitcher was in great favor and pitched good ball, but the Sox's had had off day and could not help him win. They made early errors at critical times of the game. The Sox with five runs to overcome, fought game and tried to score in the last half of the ninth and made an extra finning game of it. Then they jumped back in that same error game and lost. The Sox will use Mr. Thomas Snows in Sunday's game. Come out and see him work. Game May 14, 1917. Black Sox H. McGavock, L.F. Stratton, 3d.B. King, R.F. Ware, C. James, C.F. Batts, 2nd.B.

The Sox throw up the white flag and asked Mr. Williams, Manager, best be to have pity on them and let them have a chance. I love my country, but Oh, you Nationals. Williams told Captain Hurt if he sent him to the hill, that he would win or throw his arm off, so he must have won, as his arm in man. Manager Ellison's thousand dollar infield worked like big leaguers against those Wee Wee Sox. How does his sound compare to his Shield from Ellas to Street to Hurt? And look what an awkful outfield Meyers, better known as Black Daddy better's playing name. Red Johnny Boyd's given name as Woog and these three mean sluggers, and don't force Mama, for he is there too. Manger Ellison will send Matthews out in the game Sunday to show those Maroons a few stunts. Mr. Webster will show the Maroons who bosses when he steps off the Hills against the Sunday at Greenwood Park. He is going to give all his pitchers their turn in the box A fan stopped Manager Ellison the other night and asked him how did they let the B. H. Swifts beat them, and his answer was this, "It was a shame to intrude on those poor Swifts and I wouldn't get any credit for beating a team like that on an opening day. I told my boys to let them win as they will not win any more this season. I can't get any credit for beating anybody but those wee wee Sox. I intended to let those Maroons win once but they brag too much." Manager Ellison was asked who will his batteries be, so he picked out his pistol arm boy, Webster, known as "Shot" Webster and "Laugh," and Line-up Sunday. Street, S.E. Charleston, C.F.

Some two weeks ago, a young white woman living in the suburbs of the city seems to have been attacked by some unknown Negro. The officers have been hunting, looking in every nook and corner for that Negro, and indeed if a Negro has attacked a woman of any kind whether she be white or black, he should be caught, tried, convicted and given the severest penalty of the law.

BAND The Cadet Band which will furnish music each day during the Sunday School Congress, which is to meet in Nashville, June 13-18. This band is composed of fourteen young boys under the direction of a trained leader. It will be the first time in the history of the Congress they have any man violating the chastity of womanhood by brutal force. The character and virtue and person of a woman is all that she has, and it should be defended at the expense even of human life, but this comes simply to caution our young men, especially that class of young Negroes who lay around creeks and fish, and roll dice, and while away the time basking in the sunshine rather than engage in some laborious and lucrative labor. Woman is naturally afraid when she comes upon a man in an out-of-way place, and very frequently, no doubt, imagines that the man is after her when he has no such intentions. The very sight of a man when she is alone and our of touch with settlements, in isolated places, renders her extremely nervous, and she might make an alarm, might run and execle a community when there were really no intentions upon the part of those whom she men to assault her, but the very appearance of a half-dressed man, a tramp, whether he be Negro tramp or white tramp, lounging around in the woods, along byways, along unfrequented roads is enough to frighten womanhood, therefore we appeal to the young Negroes to be exceedingly careful in their demeanor toward womanhood in general. A man should never forget when he is meeting a woman in an isolated district that the opportunity presents itself for him to be incriminated by that woman, if indeed she becomes at all nervous, or if he should make any uncalled-for noise, or even act strangely. In fact, let everybody go to work. If a man is at work and can tell where he was at work, for whom he worked, what kind of work he was doing, if he was busy as every man should be, and is living a busy, working, decent life, he will always be able to gather about him sufficient proofs to appease the mind of a community and to establish his innocence. Every man should have a job and be at that job. Every man should have a home, and at the proper hours be at that home.

We are not able to say whether any Negro is guilty of the crime or not. Several Negroes have been carried before the young woman, but she has fail to identify them. To her credit she has not just criminally accused any man. She says that she would know him if he were brought before her, and she insists upon innocent men being free. Let us all protect womanhood, whether it be black womanhood or white womanhood. Let women everywhere be protected, and shame, death and disgrace to the man who violently assaults or attacks any woman. Rev. R. B.
