NATIONAL BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY AND TRAINING SCHOOL
Constructive Work Being Done—Financial Campaign Waged.
VOLUME XII.
Ever since the announcement that the Baptists of the United States had acquired Boscobel College, one of the most beautiful locations for a school in the state, enthusiasm has been at its pitch and speculation has been ripe as to the actual time of the opening of the school. It has been known all along that Nashville has been in the market for the location of a theological and training school and it was held at one time that Nashville had lost and the school would be located elsewhere, but some of the leading Baptists this week stated that some years ago, when the convention met at Memphis, it was voted then and there that the school should be located in Nashville and now that the site has been secured and the splendid build people are beginnled campuses when the school will open and when the real theological and missionary training will begin.
Some well-informed Baptist leaders in the state affairs declared this week just before going to the state convention at Smyrna that one whole day in a real educational rally would be put on at Smyrna and a hard pull made to raise funds to augment that which will be raised by other states involved in the National Convention, unfortunate held in Atlanta, Ga., in September. "We are going to open this Theological Seminary and Training School without any further delay. We are simply waiting for the meeting of our national body and the action of our Educational Board and to get down to business," declared the Rev. Mr. Harding, just before leaving for the state convention this week. Then, Mr. David Ahnov, who is secretary of the Educational Board, and Mrs. W. H. Fuller, who is corresponding secretary of the Women's Auxiliary, are both out on a campaign in the interest of the theological seminary. At any rate, from what can be picked up there is to be a president elected and a faculty chosen at the earliest possible date. It is understood further that the school are well under way and that by November, at the latest, Nashville will have its first real theological seminary and training school and the Necro Baptists through their Nation al Baptist Convention will be operating something they have been agitating and trying to get under way for nearly twenty-five years.
MAN WHO WEDS NEGRO LEARNS
HE IS WHITE.
Special to the Globe:
Paris, Ky., July 11—A man without a race! Shunned by his white relatives, pitted by his friends, white and black, Maxie Kahle, well-to-do Paris contractor, a white man, and his Negro family are today facing a dilemma which threatens to wreck his life and break his wife's heart. Kohler, who until a few days ago believed himself a Negro, has discovered he is white. His sister and other relatives, from whom he has been taken to the hospital, recently discovered his whereabouts horrified by his interracial marriage changed their addresses and refuse to communicate with him.
Marriage Is Illegal.
In the face of all, driven from his adopted race by circumstances over which he had no control, his marriage made illegal by the Kentucky law, avoided by his own race, Kohler declares he will not desert his wife. He and his sister page out of fiction. When eight years old he and his sister were taken from a Cincinnati orphanage and adopted by Nat C. Rogers, wealthy Kentucky land owner. Their early childhood with the Rogers family was happy. When their foster father died they went to live with their cousin Rogers, where they were again treated as members of the family.
Told He Was Colored.
The boy's happiness was short-lived. After the death of Roseberry Rogers, he was driven from the house, he was told he was a Negro and must associate with other Negroes on the farm. He did not know what became of his sister. Kohler was too young to investigate the statement as true, went to work as a farmhand and lived with the blacks on the farm. Five years ago he left the farm and came to Paris, where he became a brick mason and later entered the contracting business. He prospered, married and accumulated a modest fortune.
Has Two Children.
His home was a happy one, he was a good husband and a kind father to his children, a 5-year boy and 11-months old girl.
Then came the knowledge he was born of white parents. The medium was a Cincinnati newspaper carrying an advertisement asking information of his whereabouts. He answered a letter from a small town in Oklahoma. The writer was his sister.
In the correspondence which followed Kohler told her of his supposed Negro blood and asked her for proofs that he was really a Caucasian. The answer included photographs of his father and mother and convinced Kohler that he really was white. Letters from other relatives confirmed this. Then Kohler wrote a Negro wife and asked the answers broke his heart. His relatives changed their addresses and refused to have anything more to do with him.
NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY---THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE.
MORE "PEP" NEEDED TO MAKE
Y. M. C. A. AN ASSURED
SUCCEESS.
The young men are rapidly growing to appreciate the privileges of the Association. The largest rooms to be found in any Association are found here. In fact the young men who are stopping here from other Associations know better than the home boys the points of advantage in Nashville's Colored Association over some other cities. The location when compared with other cities puts the Association in a class all alone. The rooms are by far far than rooms of modern Associations. The standard size of the modern association room it about 1x14 feet. There is probably not a room in the entire building so small. According to the architects' plan for remodeling, the swimming pool will be outside the building in an open court and will equal if not excel many others. The gymnasium will be the largest yet. The dining room and kitchen will be the deluxe room with poor beneath the gymnasium with waiter provided for banquets which can be served in the spacious gymnasium.
There is on ething neede dowever to make this in its present form compare favorably with the leading associations in the country—more "pep" on the part of the local young men. That of course cannot come from outside sources. It must be left with the young men themselves to supply this need. They must get a vision of the possibilities of the Association. They must stand by the men who know how to plan its future. Standard membership does not show a willingness to put the effort operation. Membership must be the first step toward making this movement for young represent them creditably. The membership privileges cost the small sum of $0.00 a year, if paid cash, $5.00 a year—less than 12.12 cents a week. Young men in Nashville have normal taste and tendencies and are not different from the young men of such cities as Kansas City, Indianapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities where Association buildings are in operation. The following new men are in the building this week: Messrs. A. L. Foster, Wilhelme; O. S. J. Mayberry of Franklin, Tenn.; John O. Griffith, Walville; Walter Jackson, Nashville; Rev. G. W. Woodby, San Diego, Cal.; W. M. Brocks, Knoxville, Tenn.; L. L. Campbell, Knoxville, Tenn.
SIXTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF
CHRISTIAN RECORDER TO BE
CELEBRATED. FOUGHT. FOR
ABOLITION.
Philadelphia, July 10.—Members of the African Methodist Episcopal church are making preparations to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the Christian Recorder published at Philadelphia, Pa. The Anniversary will be held during the last week in July. At the recent meeting of the church at Wainforest, Ohio, a proclamation was issued calling upon the members of the Church and its friends to celebrate this anniversary in appropriate fashion.
The Christian Recorder is the oldest race journal now in existence. It was founded in 1852 in Philadelphia where it has existed ever since. It is the only race newspaper which helped to fight for the abolition of slavery which is now in existence. Some of the most brilliant men of the race have filled its editorial chairs its first editor was Rev. Marcellus M. Clark, who was one of the very few who graduated from college during the war. Rev. (afterwards Bishop) Jazp. B. Campbell, Rev. Elisha Weaver, Rev. (now Bishop B. T. Tanner Rev. (now Bishop B. F. Lee, Rev. H. T. Johnson). The present editor is Rev. R. R. Wright, Ph.D. who serves in the double capacity of Editor of the Christian Recorder and manager of the Book Concern. When Dr Wright was made editor at the age of thirty, he was the youngest man ever so honored by the Church, from the point of view that he was the best prepared having made for himself quite an enviable record as a writer on sociological topics prior to his election to this position. He is a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, and studied in the Universities of Berlin and Leinsig. Germany
The Christian Recorder is the national organ of the A. M. E. Church and is circulated in all parts of the United States. In South America and the West Indies and South Africa and numbers among its contributors some of the ablest men and women of the race.
According to the Bishop's Proclamation every one of the seven thousand and African Methodist Churches is called upon to celebrate this anniversary in a very tangible and helpful way, by helping to pay off the debt of $15,000. Indications are that this debt will be paid off on the day named, the fifth Sunday in July. Allready many have subscribed, many of the Bishops themselves leading off, with $100 or more. General Officers have subscribed, and leading men both ministers and laymen of the Church, in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, South and North Carolina and other states have subscribed from $5 to $100. The purpose is to pay off the debt so that it will give Dr. Wright

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS IN READINESS
Y. M. C. A. to be Head quarters of Delegations Knight A. N. Johnson Presides.
As the Grand Session of the Order of Knights of Pythias draws near, the members of the Nashville delegation to that convention are becoming more active. Every preparation for the care and comfort of those who are to come is being pushed. The letters sent out by the Grand Deputy and the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. are bearing fruit. Representatives from every section of the state have written their opinions in the Y. M. C. A. dorsitory. This is especially true of the large cities.
Mr. W. N. Sanders, who is a member of the order, is making every effort possible to give the delegates the best service. It has been pointed out that the deputies throughout the state could greatly aid in this work by requesting those who desire to stop at the Y. M. C. A. building, to write now and avoid delay in preparation.
They met Tuesday night was a great success and enjoyed by all. During the absence of the chairman, Knight A. N. Johnson presided. One pleasing feature of the meeting was that all rules of order were dispensed with and the men discussed important measures likely to come up in the Grand Lodge. A committee on the Pythian Temple project through its chairman, Dr. Forcle, of Harmony Lodge, made a fine report which was adopted by the delegates. Knuth was again present and edited material in. in the success of the meeting.
Every member of the delegation had something to say concerning the Temple, expressing themselves as being in favor of the great project. Minor features of other departments of the order were freely discussed and many of those present were benefited by explanations given concerning the laws governing these departments. Several members of the local lodges were present and enjoyed the discussions of their representatives. A meeting on the coming Tuesday night that more will come and see just what is being done to carry out the mission of a grand institution. In all probability the Grand Chancellor will attend the next meeting and make a short talk on constructive legislation. As a speaker along Pythian lines, it is well known that the Grand Chancellor ranks among the best. We are asking every Pythian who desires to hear this address to meet with the Grand Chancellor Tuesday night at Pythian Temple. The Advisory Committee will meet the grand deputy at 7:30 Tuesday evening prior to the delegation meeting. All chancellor commanders are requested to meet with the delegation that arrangements may be made for an adequate number of knights to meet the trains coming into the city. It is important that this delegation see to it that all coming into our midst be properly directed. Knight T. C. Moore is planning to put on some fine moving pictures for the three days the visitors are. It is hoped that every visitor will take advantage of this opportunity to see what is being done by a fellow knight.
All of the businesses controlled by Pythians in the city will likewise do something for the entertainment of our guests. The various committees are urged to prepare their reports and have them at the hall early so that the secretary, Knight Porter, will not be delayed.

Mrs. M. M. Hadley was called to Chicago, I. on, account of the illness of her son, B. J. Hadley, who has been residing in Chicago for 10 years. She found him better. He is greatly impressed. Mrs. Hadley will remain in Chicago visiting her sister-in-law and two sons for some time yet.
NEGRO PUBLIC LIBRARY
Vacation—Most people plan to travel during their vacation, but the great upheaval caused by the war, finds most of us at home. Do not be disappointed. Your Public Library can give you a year's travel about the business world in few score pages of print. Travel opens the mind, but so does print, and print is the cheapest mind opener there is and the best. If your vacation falls in July, spend a few moments in the Library traveling, improving you line of work, or draw the books and take them to the parks with you.
We advocate the Playground but at the same time we do not think a child should be allowed to get out of the Library habit. Vacationing in the library is best acquired in childhood. Your Public Library has records of human life at hand each child can study all men of all ages and races and find his place among them and discuss the work for which he is best filled. Bring your child to the library at least once a month during vacation and encourage other mothers to do likewise.
NEGRO RECORDS VISIT NAT. BAP. IN MANY WARS PUBLISHING PLANT
Uncle Sam's Negro Troops In Hottest Battles Always Brave Instances Cited.
The Negro's status in all the wars in which the United States has been engaged has been that of loyalty to the cause, and in the present war it will be the same, said Captain Herman Blunt, late of the Ninth Infantry, U. S. V., and the Forty-ninth United States Infantry.
Captain Blunt was one of the factors in the organization of the original New York Negro regiment, now the Fifteenth National Guard Regiment, and in the Spanish-American War he was the first Negro officer to command a military post in Cuba. Afterward he saw service in the Philippines, where he was a captain in the Forty-ninth Infantry, and in 1900 personally captured Major Hoquin Cepedes, Aquinaldo's secretary and spy, at Perenacguil, Luzon.
"Beginning with the American Revolution," said Captain Blunt, "the first blood shed was that of a Negro seaman, Crispus Attucks, on Boston Common. He led the charge against the British which awakened the subjugating Indian colonist in the colonies, and this, not withstanding that quasi-slavery existed.
"In the Revolutionary army were 15,000 Negro troops. Though half shaves they fought for the independence of the colonies, and this, not withstanding that quasi-slavery existed.
"In the Revolutionary army were 15,000 Negro troops. Though half shaves they fought for the independence of the colonies. Their action in battle in the Little American navy in 1798, though only half trained, was wonderful, and they also gave a good account of themselves with Commodore Lawrence and with Decatur in the war with Tripoli.
"In the War of 1812 Commodore Lawrence was commanding the American warship Chessapeake. He sailed out of Boston harbor with his crew of 160 Negro sailors attacked the British frigate Shannon off Massachusetts Bay. A Negro bugler, the orderly of Commodore Lawrence, sounded the attack, which was against tremendous odds. Lawrence shouted his last order, though wounded fatally, to his Negro orderly that he might transmit it to the crew: 'Don't give up the ship!' The bodies of the Commodore and his Negro bugler were buried side by side at Hallifax with military honors.
"The Native Louisiana soldiers and the ramparts of Chiname under General Jackson at New Orleans in 1812, defeating Lord Pakenham, commander of the British forces. The victory ended the war and destroyed, the last British contention of right to search and seize American merchants on the high seas.
"In the war with Mexico in 1845 six Negroes were in the Alamo Fort, scene of the famous massacre.
"In the Civil War a Negro soldier was a factor in achieving Union victory, despite the decision of Supreme Court Justice Taney in the Dred Scott case. In the wake of this decision on this decision Lincoln issued his call for volunteers for the Union and was answered for 200,000 brave men and patriots, who gave good account of the war. Colonel Shaw, of Colonel Shaw, of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment. Colonel Shaw fell, and he and many of his soldiers were buried in the trenches around the fort. A request was made that the body of Shaw be given to the Union forces for burial. The answer was: "We have buried him with his niggers who led the charge." At Port Hudson, I.a., at Vicksburg, with his march to the Georgia, with Sheridan through the Sheandoo Valley and under Genera Grant at Richmond the same stories are told of the Negroes' valor and loyalty.
"At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War President McKinley called for volunteers and in answer 50,000 Negroes marched side by side with 100,000 white comrades. Two hundred and forty Negro officers were accepted and mustered into the service, to serve the United States in two hemispheres. The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments, the Twenty-fourth and Fifth Infantry Regiments of the Army and extircated the Rough Riders and Colonel Roosevelt from a Spanish ambush, and were instrumental in sweeping the last vestige to Spanish domain from the hemisphere. In the navy, under Admiral Dewey, Negr seaman, gunners and gunners' mates, gave a good account of themselves at Manila Bay. In Admiral Schley's fleet off Cuba many of the chief men behind the guns were Negroes.
"In 1916 Negro-troopers of the Tenth Cavalry, under General Pershing, led the troops after crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico.
"And now comes the great universal conflict, in which 40 nations and peoples are involved. In this contest the American Negro citizens are with the President and Government of the United States, and all racial idiosyncrasies and hatred and prejudices should be buried forever. The American Negro are ledded to accord justice to all communities and peoples at the conclusion of this conflict on the basis of equality to all races, regardless of affinity, creed or color."
Caintain Blunt was appointed First Lieutenant by President McKinley and assigned to the Ninth Infantry in 1898; served in Cuba and was muster-

ad out at Camp Meade, Penn. May 25, 1899. Immediately after he was appointed Lieutenant of the Forty-ninth Infantry and was made a Captain just before the Philippines on November 7, 1899. He suffered a bolo wound in the fight attending the capture of Aguinaldo's secretary. He was mustered out of service at the Presidio, California, in May, 1901. He graduated at the University of the Military, Agricultural and Mechanical School of that state. He was commissioned Major of the Second Battalion of the Provisional Regiment, now the Fifteenth New York in 1913. His grandfather served under General Jackson in the Louisiana Native Zouaves against Lord Pakenam at New Orleans in 1812, and his brother, William, was killed in the Civil War at Port Hudson, Ia, and was killed by the Klu Klux Klan in the Tech Country during the recon struction period.
THE TEST OF PATRIOTISM
If you should meet a man today and he should accuse you of a lack of patriotism, you would be fighting man in a minute. If he were to tell you that you are lending aid and encouragement to the enemies of this country you would probably call him a liar. But the fact remains that many people who are, no doubt, patriots at heart, are not acting the part just now. Many people are by their words or their actions making the task of their own government harder and so, in a very direct way, aiding the enemy. That person who is still repeating a lot of bilithering nonsense about this not being our fight; who goes about saying that Americans should have stayed at home and let the nations of Europe fight it out; who would be wonderfully brave "if a foreign foe landed on our shores," but who is opposed to sending American troops to Europe; who has nothing but fault-finding and abuse for the men who must bear the burden of the war, is lacking in either patriotism or common sense.
The young man who is trying to shirk military duty while other young men are risking their lives to protect the country and him may be a patriot at heart, but he is something else in deed.
The mother who would hold own sons at home and let other women's die on the battlefield to make them safe may be a "good mother." but she is too stupidly selfish to be a good citizen.
The man who is able to offer his country in its time of need a little of his wealth, and who will not even buy the bonds of his government, or who will try to evade and shift to others the taxes necessary to conduct the struggle that is for his own protection, may call himself a patriot or whatever else he chooses, but he is really a weakness and a danger to the nation, and besides a most pitiable specimen of humanity.
SUMMER SCHOOL AT A. AND I. STATE NORMAL CLOSES
Splendidly Attended—Successful Session—Excellent Work Done.
IS THE EXODUS PERMANENT
OR JUST AN EX-
CURSION.
Atlanta, Ga., July 10—(Special to Globe)—After making an exhaustive study under peculiarly favorable auspices the writer is able to advance some light upon the subject of the Negroes degree of success in the North; and state some of the results already apparent.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, began with one crew of construction workers three years ago and today operates more than sixty-five labor camps whose capacity ranges from twenty-five to two hundred fifty each. Several negro foremen, clerks and agents are positions directly resulting. At Cleveland, Ohio, Cumberland, Maryland and Graft on West Va. Many laborers have moved into the more skilled occupations in Round houses, and shops, and agencies in the desirability of the Negro making due allowance for a reasonable percentage of misfits and failures, has been so emphasized that the general sec. of the C. O. R. Y. C. A. has made definite arrangements for an extensive campaign of welfare work among them and the Railroad Co., has already made appropriations to this end. The Penna R. R. engages a Negro welfare superintendent and stuff in his work. The quarters provided places altogether put to shame many specialized hotels and demonstrate satisfaction as to the quality of service else this expense of a permanent character would not be in effect.
The tobacco interests in Connecticut through the Urban league of New York, has for two successive seasons used Negroes; this year many are being provided with homes of solid construction and years of employment is guaranteed to men with families.
The New Haven Railroad has from its forces promoted several Negroes to positions of responsibility that require solidity of character and a high order of intelligence.
The Auto Tire Industries at Akron, Ohio, have absorbed many in that territory, often from Railroad shipments and their home building operations indicate more than a temporary period of employment.
The attitude of the electric interests at Schenectady New York, is one that would be assumed by, and concern actuated by the intesests of a moment.
At Seattle - Washington. Negroes have been so pronouncedly successful as stevedores that in less than a year's service they have become the object of competition when particularly capable work of this character is desired.
The number of demit cards handled by lodges, the number of new watch care members admitted to northern churches is a barometer that has shown "high" reading.
The southern banks and insurance companies have been obliged to take official cognizance of the situation to the extent that enlarged accounts, changes of address and increased mail business has in some cases almost commelled office routine changes and added clerical forces.
One company, the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, the largest Negro financial enterprise in America has found it advisable to place change of address cards in their advertising matter, not to retain the business of migrants as may be supposed but to assist their office force by encouraging promotions in obtaining changes of address and by placing blanks of a uniform size in the hands of the people.
The foregoing is not all of the writer's observations of this movement. The most obvious net result will be an improved economic and civil condition for those who remain in the north long enough to out line the sparadic outbursts of objection in some quarters.
The natural predicate of this is an improved condition in the south where protection must be assumed to retain the laborer's remaining. The good southern employer, out of a dollar and cents need, will be obliged to interest himself actively in community matters, and compel more equitable administration of laws and sponsor the repeal of the more distasteful enactments. He will be forced to give expression to his heretofore silent friendliness, thereby modifying public opinion, the foundation of legislation. His friendship will be forced into the open where its weight will be felt to the advantage of that great majority of Negroes who remain in the south.
The Final Analysis proving an added advantage all round in that conditions all over the country will be
We must face the facts. The older has passed away. The easy patriotism of last year of the long years before will not now answer. The patriotism of action is called for. We must win this war or the Republic of Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln will cease to be. The man who does not do his part to help win the war—the man who is not willing to give whatever he has or is to help save his country and the principles for which it stands, is a "good American" in name only.
There is but one test of your patriotism this year, and that is the thing you do.-Southern Agriculturist.

TAKE OATH OF ENLISTMENT.
Thousands of persons witnessed the taking of the oath of enlistment by 1,000 of the best educated Negroes of the country Sunday afternoon, June 17th, at Fort Des Moines. Men from every state of the union represent all professions are among those taking training. The oath by Col. C. Bibbouw was a most impressive ceremony. Preliminary to administer the oath he said in part:
In administering the oath of enlistment to candidates for commissions, mustering them into the service of the United States for the period of this training camp, I wish to say a few words to you concerning your work here and its consequences.
The course of training that you will be required to take is the result of the study, experience and judgment of the best militia officers of America and Europe. Not one detail has been described without careful consideration. You have the great advantage of numbering among you a large number of the most experienced and best non commissioned officers of the regular army, who will afford the inexperienced constant assistance by their example of soldierly deportment and procedure. Your instructors are selected officers of the regular army, of exception, qualifications for their work. But these men cannot be trained on their shoulders success. Success, if achieved, must result from your own zeal, your own intelligence, your own industry, your own behavior and character.
I desire further to impress every candidate here present with the fact this is a momentous hour, and that the establishment of this camp is an epochal and unprecedented event in the history of the colored race of the United States, be accompanied here demonstrate your fitness for citizenship by your ability to learn to discharge the highest and most important duty of that citizenship—the defense of the rights and liberties of your country.
I would impress upon each and every one of you the serious reflection on your race that will necessarily be required of this trial, the eventual test, and the far-reaching results that will flow from your success.
Your race will be on trial, with you as its representatives, during the existence of this training camp, and to succeed there will be required of you strong bodies, keen intelligence, absolute obedience to orders, unfagging industry, exemplary conduct and striving for that success you will be fulfilling your obligation to yourselves, to the colored race, and, above all, to our beloved country.

Tonoline Is Beanty Aid Announces Specialist
Mildred Louise Talk of Intrest to women
As health is a first aid to beauty this story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass., is of unusual interest.
"I can recommend no better health given tononline," said Mildred Louise.
"I was for many months a victim of stomach trouble and nervousness. I had suffered terribly from pains that followed eating. Headaches also would add to my worries. Poor digestion finally brought on nervousness."
"Relief came, however, when I took the advice of several women who said, "Take toniline."
"Not long after I started the toniline treatment, my patrons began to remind me of the improvement in my condition. And because health is the quickest way to beauty, the improvement was particularly noticeable in my face.
What toniline really did for me I cannot say. I am so grateful that I am able to recommend toniline public."
Toniline is a purely vegetable preparation which goes to the seat of common maladies—stomach and kidney trouble, catarhal affection of the mucous membranes, liver ailments and impurities of the blood—and quickly restores proper action. Toniline is being explained daily to many people at any drug store.
Notice: As tonline is a wonderful flesh builder it should not be taken by any one not wishing to increase his weight ten pounds or more. Although many reports are received from those who have been benefited by tonline, severe cases of stomach trouble and nervous dyspepsia, chronic constipation, etc.

Fat persons, particularly those from 10 to 30 pounds above normal weight will be interested to learn that they may easily reduce their weight without starvation diet or tiresome exercise. This can best be done by being moderate in your diet, so that you will not overtax your assimilative organs, by getting plenty of fresh air, by breathing deeply and by taking tassco four times a day. Tassco may be obtained from any druggist in 5 grain tablets, take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. They cost little, are absolutely harmless, are pleasant to take and are designed to reduce fatty accumulations in the system wherever located.
A few days treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight, the flesh should become firm, the skin smooth and the general health improved, in fact your footsteps should even become lighter, your work seem easier and a lighter and more buoyant feeling take possession of your whole being.
Every person who is 10 or 20 pounds over normal weight should surely give this traction a trial. You will probably find that it is just what you need.

So far as the family knew she was as well as usual up to the time of her death.

She was a member of Sulphur Spring A. M. E. Church. She lived a (true Christian life) was a ready and willing worker and at all times doing what she could to put under foot skin, ignorance, superstition and intellectual guard. She lived the life and set conditions that others will make to be successful in the life's career and receive a such heaven. "We're reward as she has done. Would you have gone but not forgotten. The in-memory took place in the Lone Oak Cemetery; the funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Dr. E. P. Kelley.

Wash Away All The Stemach, Liver and Bowel Poison Before Breakfast
To feel your best, day in and day out, to feel clean inside, no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, billious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism, or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe on inside. This is simply your worst mistake, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known kidney specialist.
To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a kidneco tablet then take it before dinner and supper with a glass of cold water. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more kidneco tablets into your kidneco table for a quarter from any druggist, they are inexpensive and act quickly. Drink hot water every morning with kidneco to rid your system of these piles and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel, like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and, above all, keep it up; soap and soap, shampoo and shampoo, sweetening and purifying, so kidneco and hot water, before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels.

PROF. SMITH'S REPORT
With pleasure we are giving space this week, to the report of Prof. F. G. Smith, principal of Pearl High School in order that the friends and patrons of education may know exactly the status of affairs as pertains to the High School. We agree with the learned principal in all he says. Our ardent desire is that the Negroes of Nashville get together and formulate ways and means whereby the high school course may be lengthened. There is no denying the fact that the course as now prescribed for this institution, is entirely too short, and lacks many things. It should be the business of the Negroes of Nashville, to inform the Board of Education of the things needful. It seems our people have been grumbling about the inadequacy of our school facilities, but none of them seem willing to further a movement looking toward improvement. It would be idle to say, that Nashville has an ideal school system for Negroes for such is a long ways from the truth. There can be much improvement made, but it will not be made until the people let the Board of Education know that they demand it in the name of right and justice. It may be true, that the taxes we pay is a mere bagatelle as compared with the taxes paid by the regnant race, but if an educated and industrious citizenship is deserved fair play should be accorded us.
There is much that can be done by the Board of Education. We are sure if the matter is put before them by a body of men who have no scissors to sharpen, no ulceration end to serve, that the Board will hearten to some of our requests. The Negro pupil, deserves to fare well at the hands of those in authority. Again, we commend Prof. Smith's report and trust that the Board of Education can see the wisdom of his recommendations. In justice to Prof. Smith, we add that the above was written without his consent or knowledge.

Our civic organizations said not a word in behalf of the Negro children of the Randall Cole Industrial School. Nashville Negroes may be depended upon to overlook such matters as are really helpful to the race, but on the other hand one organization went into estasies over a letter box.

We have a lurking suspicion, that our civic organizations could say something about the lack of school facilities for the Negro children of Nashville.

TO OUR WOMEN ESPECIALL
I have always had an indiscribable interest in the civic welfare of my people, chiefly because having lived amidst environments of race discrimination all of my life, I realize what the bitter pangs accompanying jim-crowism and race discrimination mean. Nashville, our "Athens of the State," has always boasted of her superior treatment of the Negro as to public utilities, etc, and we were at one time inclined to concede this her favor. As the years go by more vivid is the appearance of race discrimination and prejudice until today Nashville takes her place among the other southern cities that refuse Negroes common rights.
This fact is not more plainly vindicated than in the recent new order of things that has taken place in our city. I think we are lacking in the condemnation of such, regardless of the good we may do. Wishing to arouse a little sentiment about this matter, I am addressing the women

of our race, especially, a little communication that I have asked the Nashville dailies to publish, for I personally have seen many of them approached by the blue-coat in the transfer station and demanded to stand up when they were seated on this side. The communication follows:
Negroes in the Transfer Station.
Mr. Editor:
Kindly allow an expression in your columns concerning the recent enactment of race discrimination that is being practiced by the street railway authorities in the transfer station. Ever since the passage of the jim-crow law that segregated Negroes on street cars, they have in many instances been commended and paid first-class fare: in cases innumerable they have had to stand in the aisles and hang on the straps until reaching their destination, when there were vacant seats on the car, but could not sit because the law was not being complied with by the other race. In some cases new and more humiliating invocation of not allowing Negroes to sit on the north side in the transfer station. There are two or three facts that I beg to state in connection with this matter: Negroes spend thousands of dollars with the street railway company daily. The few Negroes who stand or sit on the north side in the transfer station are exceptionally orderly and consider themselves in a becoming manner.
A committee of representative Negroes, have gone to the street railway authorities for information concerning the matter and were told that no order had been issued by them to that effect, thus showing that we are being insulted by an officer of the law who is acting without authority. Only those who have been asked up and a few others know of the law, if there be such a law, because of lack of official publicity. Now, Mr. Editor, it will be conceded by any right-thinking and fair-minded person that since we must indulge in the sting of insult, we intend to be notified of what to expect, thereby giving us opportunity to avoid being insulted. And in view of these facts, and keenly feeling the sting of such treatment, I am prompted to ask: Is there any redress for us, and to whom shall we appeal? July 10, 1917.
MOBS AND THEIR MAKEUP
Editor Ohio State Journal:
Permit me to make a few remarks about mobs in general and the East St. Louis mob in particular.
It is a well-known fact that mobs are not composed of our best people. You never see an educated, moral, high-tone gentleman in them, neither of the aristocratic or middle class. As a rule only men of low tone, low morals, low social position and of low character constitute mobs, and it is well known that mobs are always cowardly. The East St. Louis mob was composed largely of the ignorant, rough and tough elements of both cities and they were not as good, upon an unprejudiced comparison, as the Negrites they mobbed. And what was worse the wicked second, of had been made in addition, had purified themselves by their failure to do their duty.
If any man wants to take a measure of his own standard let him ask him self if he sympatizes, or not, with mobs. They are nearly all alike.
The blackest day in our history was the day in 1620 when 20 slaves were landed at James town, Va. It was the beginning of slavery and the slave trade in this country, the most diabolical institution that ever affected us, the South owned and trafficked in humans, while claiming to be the land of the free, while the North acquiesced. It was the cause of bitterness between the two sections which eventually in four years of bloody war, each side enduring suffering and losses in proportion to its part in the crime of slavery according to the judgement of a just God.
As a legacy 4,000,000 of helpless and ignorant people were left in nur care. How have we administered that trust — kindly, benevolently, helpfully and justly, as a Christian people should? Not by any means. The people of the better sort have handed them over to the tender mercies of the baser sort, and God will smite the "whited wall." Their cry for pity and help has ascended toa just God who has pronounced another judgment against us and millions of our young men are being sent to fight and die for human justice, liberty and right which we have denied our own citizens

NEGRO SHOULD GET FAIR DEAL
FROM WHITES.
(By Rev. Charles Stelzle.)
Movement of Negroes from the South to take the places of white men in big industrial enterprises has already borne fruit in East St. Louis race riots. With the departure of the immigrant population to the seat of war in Europe, there remained only the Negro to exploit, and he has been coming in a steady stream to northern cities. By bringing the black man into competition with the white man, employers of labor have raised a social problem as difficult to meet as any by which our country is confronted.
MUST MAKE COMMON CAUSE.
Booker T. Washington once said
"I cannot hold any man in the gutter
YOU CAN HAVE LONG STRAIGHT HAIR
Quinacol stimulates and nourishes the pots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It makes the hair soft, smooth and glossy, and easy to put up in the style desired.
To get the best results from the use of Quinacol the scalp should be shampooed at regular intervals with Seeby's Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely out of vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and contains no animal fat of any kind. It lathers very freely and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasap leaves the hair soft and fluffy, and imprints a refreshing feeling to the scalp, unequalled by any other shampoo.
Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinacol and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. If your drugstress or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler. The price is 25c each. Write to Seeby Drug Co. 79 East 130th street New York City, for a sample, mentioning the name of this paper.
without staying in the gutter myself."
And Washington was right. As a matter of self-protection, it behooves us to care for the Negro. If we keep the Negro in the gutter, we shall be compelled to stay there with him.
Without discussing the race question in any way, let us look at a few outstanding facts in regard to our treatment of the Negro.
We compel him to live in the worst sections of our towns and cities, often without drainage or sewerage or garage service, without scarcely any of the sanitary conditions in house or yard or street which whites consider an absolute necessity.
NOT GIVEN FAIR CHANCE
We drive the worst from of immorality into the Negro quarters and then curse the Negro because of his moral weakness. If there is to be a red-light district in town, it is dumped into the area into which we also dump the Negro population. It would be a comparatively easy matter to produce statistics which indicate that the Negro is the worst criminal in the world, but how can he help becoming such? We subject him to the severest tests of our life life—physical, moral and political—and then cynically declare he is no good anyway.
WE REAP THE WHIRLWIND
But there is another side of this question. The negroes who live under these unsanitary conditions are our laudresses, nurses and cooks. If there is contagious disease in their own homes, and there is much of it—they are sure to bring it to our homes, either personally or through the laundry which we send to them.
There is one big fact we have got to reckon with—the Negro came to the United States against his will and he is going to stay here. He will not return to Africa to establish a Liberian republic, as some people have fondly wished.
IT'S A NATIONAL QUESTION.
After bringing the Negro to his country, for 250 years we systematically expunged from the Negro race the best qualities which fit a man for citizenship in a democracy. It is now simply a question as to whether he is to be a "good" Negro or a "bad" Negro and the answer to that question is the whites as it does upon the blacks. Let us give the Negro a square deal. Neither race hatred nor manslaughter sentimentality will settle this delicate question. The south cannot settle it alone, and the north cannot do the work of the south. The north and the south, the city and the country, must attack the situation together, for this is a national prob

MISS LOWE IN RECITAL AT THE
STATE NORMAL
Much interest was manifested by the friends and admirers of Miss Helena Lowe in the recital given by her at the State Normal last week. Miss Lowe is a product of the schools of Nashville, having pursued her musical education at Fisk University and State Normal. She is also a post graduate from a great northern university. When the hour for the program arrived, the chapel of this famous institution was filled with guests who were able to pay their tribute to the ability and accomplishments of this young lady. Miss Lowe has a sweet voice of wide range and her interpretation of sentimental music is perfect. That evening she was heartily applauded. Assisting Miss Lowe were Prof. Ryder and Prof. Allen of the faculty of the State Normal. Both these gentlemen are well known in educational circles. Prof Ryder has charge of the Department of Music

BY MOTOR TO MAMMOTH CAVE.
The idea of this trip, through the country in a car, to the Mammoth Cave, originated with the Lady. After consultation with the Head, she selected the Party. It was intended originally to leave the city at four o'clock Sunday morning, but the Head, being experienced in such matters, suggested that we leave earlier. He could not tell the condition of the road beyond Bowling Green.
At ten minutes after twelve o'clock, Saturday night, the last member of the party was stowed away in her seat. With the Cadillac Eight in perfect condition, two new tires, twenty gallons of gasoline, six fried chickens, two dozen stuffed eggs, a two by two box, and a witching hat, pies, three pounds of salad, grane juice, olives, cherries, cakes, hot coffee, bread and a boiled beef tongue, the Head turned the car's nose east on Jefferson street and we were off!
Those who have motored over the smooth roads of /Davidson county, can appreciate the joy experienced on such a trip. The moon was shining brightly and the white farm houses were still as we passed. Drowny cattle browsed in the rich blue grass pastures or slept under the trees. All was peace and quiet. The Young Member of the party told tales. As we had been trained in the same school we joined in. We speed past Goodlettsville and Springfield and were on our way to Adairsville, when we discovered that the Other Member of the party was sleeping and had a faint suspicion that if left alone long enough she would snore. We arrived at Shakertown. The Head inquired of the first person of color that we had met up to this time, the history of the settlement. He smil
ingly told us all he knew, but the most we remembered after we had passed on, was that he had a perfect set of white teeth. We remembered that we had read something about Shakertown in the papers recently, but as is the way with most things when needed, the facts read, refused to resurrect themselves. So helplessly confused were we as we talked and so evident was our confusion that the whole party joined in and diplomatically changed the conversation.
The East took on a faint glow of pink, the cocks in the coops on the roadside, crowed as we passed, the stars began to fade and we were sailing joyfully on, when the Head remarked that something was wrong on the side of the car, right under where the little Mother Lady sat. The Daughter of the Mother Lady, from her seat in front looked back and gave her verdict. "Flat tire" she said.
The Head "got out." From a place on the side of the Cadillac that we did not know was there, he brought numerous things, among them a beams tall pair of one piece overalls. The Young Member inquired if the overalls were larger than the pair used on the trip to Murfreesboro and having been assured that they were heaved a sigh of relief. She remarked that the pair used on the other trip had been rather tight fitting.
The Party piled out to get a little exercise and some interesting discoveries were made. In the first place the Mother Lady discovered a turkey hen with a number of little turkeys. At this point, also we had a first ape at the Lady's blue satin bloomers and blue silk hose. We picked a few blackberries and the Young Member discovered that nearly all the salad juice was neatly saturated in the hem of our skirt. Before this time the thermos bottle filled with coffee, carried in case the Head developed headache, had fallen from its place in the top of the car and landed on the Lady and the Other Member. It did not take long to re-arrange it in the car, with another. We were thinking of walking further up the road in search of adventure when the Head came from "under" and said "Al Aboard." We had thought discoveries over but as we piled in, we noted for the first time that the silk on casement of the Young Member's lower left limb had dropped several stitches.
Nothing unusual happened till we discovered another flat tire at Auburn. We staved in the car this time. The change was quickly made. We were visited by two youths, who consoled the Head by telling him, that on a journey about half as long as the one we had made, they had the pleasure of four nunctures and a blow out. At this juncture a little girl came to the door and said, "Will ma say come to me?" and he sat at about the time we thought they should be putting their nipples in their collars, after the manner of all little boys, in fact about six minutes, according to the Daughter of the Mother Lady, they returned. We were astonished, surely they had not had breakfast. Our minds flurished out the time necessary to eat an egg, two muffins and a slice of country ham. We had decided that they found on reaching the house that breakfast was not real and they had eaten, when the Lady called our attention to a ring of buttermilk around the little boy's mouth. This discovery closed the argument.
We arrived in Russellville before even the policemen were up. The only living thing visible was the ice plant, however, upon investigation, the Head discovered that t must be run itself, as after fifteen minutes research, he failed to discover a single living soil. It was necessary that we get out of Russellville. The right road out was also essential. The Head could take to take and show signs of moisture. We had gone about two squares when we met the Russellville ice man, who kindly put us on the right track.
We arrived in Bowling Green at seven and stopped in front of a garage. Every one looked wistfully at the lunch baskets and boxes and lovingly at the Lady, who had them in charge. She had hoped to eat breakfast at the Cave, but when the garage man told us the Cave was thirty-five miles away with about six miles of cobblestones to bump over, we shuddered so visibly that the Lady gave the order to bring out the baskets and put them around the Daugherty of the Mother Lady and the Other Member took a few pictures. Nothing new happened but before we replaced the baskets we knew for a certainty that the Young Member of the Party could eat.
The Road from Bowling Green to Mammoth Cave is the worst we have seen. It is to be remembered, however, that our experience on motor trips, through the country, is limited. For six miles we bumped, bumped, bumped! At some places the car was able to make only five miles. Just as we were emerging from this rocky stretch and were thinking of congratulating each other on our luck right in front of a comfortable farm house, with cool shady trees, green grass and a nice lot of Barred Rock frothers, we had our first blow out. We hated to see the Hoad get out in that hot sun but we certainly did not blame the car, for if it had been us, instead of a "blowup" there would have been a "blowup" we. We remarked on the scarcity of people of color till we reached Cave City. At this place we are sure that in the spring some one must have run a five-hundred

red egg capacity incubator and specialized in colored babies. There were babies to the right, babies to the left, laughing and crying.
We arrived at the cave at twelve o'clock at which time the Head found that the high cost of living had struck Mammoth Cave. At One fifteen the guide took us in charge. At the mouth of the Cave The Lady's Other Member's and Young Member's bloomers came into full view. We also had a better view of the Young Member's dropped stitches. All was now ready. The Head surrendered to the guide the only evidence in his possession, that he had left with the owners of the Cave fourteen perfectly round, eagle embossed dollars, for the privilege of viewing the interior of said cave; the guide in return politely lighted our kerosene torches, the Head gave his arm to the Lady. The Daughter took the Mother Lady by the arm, the other members of the party deferentially let them pass down the steps and we were in Mammoth Cave.
The entrance to the Cave is cold. The guide scientifically explained the reason, but to us cold has always been the absence of heat, illustrated aptly on a January morning, as you realize that instead of filling the magazine of the base burner, when you called him in the middle of the night, your husband had simply rolled to the further side of the bed, to escape annoyance, and as a result the fire went out.
The first part of the trip in the Cave is uneventful. The Guide pointed out the formation of mineral deposits on the dome, "Magnesium Sulphate" he said. The Head remembering that the Young Member had received several expensive dresses as an asset to graduation this spring, called her attention to the fact that Chemistry was supposed to be included in the circiculum of her Alma Mater. The Young Member admitted that she had chemistry at school, but upon leaving she had hoped not to have her attention called to it again. At this juncture the Guide explained to the Party-at-large that Magnesium Sulphate is Epsom Salts. Whereupon we all felt a desire to go further down the Cave. The formation of Mammoth Cave is wonderful. There are three levels, the lowest is three hundred and sixty feet. We saw Richardson's Springs. The Suffolk Coffin, Shelby's Dome, the Suffolk Rock, Shelby's Cave, the Dutchman's Trap. The Tall Man's Misery. The Valley of Humility the Fat Man's Misery and the Comet screw. Perhaps the most interesting of all our experiences is the ball on Echo River. The Mother Lady balled at the ride on the River. However reinforced by the Guide the Head and the Daughter she went ahead. The Guide made some very pretty echoes after which we were permitted to sing. We sang several selections and as we were about to land the Head led in singing "I'm Going to Tell God, How you Treat Me." As we sang a party comedown the cave applauded heartily. We are not mercenary, but we thought that had we Medames Hadley, Cameron and Prof. Work along, we could have formed a glee club and possibly made some tips.
We had lots of fun in the Valley of Humility. The Lady was the only member of the party able to pass comfortably. In Fat Man's Misery she came through without a scratch At the corkscrew, we had our real thrill. The Daughter admit that she had "Shaking at the Knees." The continuous climbing was hard on the Lady and the Mother Lady. The Other Member was tired and realized that she wanted her dumbbell. We found our skirts in for the first time. Our corkscrew is a narrow opening two hundred and twenty feet out. It is the only exit out of the cave. You reach the top by stone steps, wooden steps and ladders.
At the entrance of the Cave, several pictures were made and we hurried way to our dinner. Dinner was spread in the shade on a bench. Ice was procured, and the grate juice poured on it. At this point we discovered that almost any one can eat, if given the proper conditions. We left The Cave at six o'clock and at many places on the road the only sensible person in the car was the Head, who kept himself awake by sluing, "Love Me and the World is Mine." At one point the Lady having been awakened by a fresh outburst of the harmony, sleepily remarked, "That's the only song he knows," and drowsily closed her eyes. Only one or two of the party remembers passing Russellville, Auburn and Adaillesville, Neither of us remember passing Shakertown. Near Springfield we had another puncture. Even this failed to rouse the Young Member who had turned down her seat and was comforably asleep in the bottom of the car, her head on the Mother Lily's knee. We aroused long enough to realize that the Other Member really and truly did snore and that with the car stalled in front of a hog pen, she was now onshore on the job. Nashville reached about four o'clock in the morning. As we crossed the Jefferson St., bridge the Young Member succeeded in putting on her shoes. We attempted to do the same thing, but in the absence of a slipper horn when the car reached our door, we had gained access to the inside of only one slipper.
We hopped into the house with the other shoe in our hand. The queen noise caused our husband to jump out of bed and meet us at the door to the back bed room. He thought we had lost a Bimh at Mammoth Cave.

Sixth Sunday after Trinity.
Morning sermon on "Death and Life with Christ." Vesper Sermon on "The Burning Bush."
PAYNE CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH
Payne Chapel, after several weeks of suspension of operations, due to the change in administrations, is now taking on new life under the administration of Dr. J. A. Jones, ex-president of Turner College. Dr. Jones decided to take a much noded rest from the arduous duties of a college professor, the college, together with the fact of embalming pleasantness which he was not willing to endure. But finally accepted the pastorate of Payne Chapel which was left vacant by the resignation of Dr. L. James Johnson, who succeeded Dr. Jones as president of Turner College. Dr. Jones preached two helpful and inspiring sermons last Sunday, morning and night. Subject of the morning sermon was "Where is Martha?" At night he spoke from the subject, and inspired the Passenger. Good congregations greeted the pastor at each service. Several reforms carried certain lites have already been announced, and a general awakening is expected in the immediate future.
Payne Chapel picnic was held last Monday at Hadley Park. The people went out in autos which took them from the church door to the gate of the park. This was a new arrangement made by the department of the Sunday school. The school and Sunday school are now preparing for the district conference, which is to be held at Gallatin on the 19-23 of July. Next Sunday is set apart as a day for preparation to meet the conference.
BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH
Last Sunday at 11 o'clock, the Rev. Wm. Dawkin of London, Ohio, delivered a strong and soul stirring sermon. The entire house was stirred We are at all times glad to have such powerful men in our presence. At 8 p.m. the pulpit was filled by the Pastor The S. S. and League meeting on our recent visit. On Monday, 9 the S. S. and church turned out in full, to the annual picnic at Greenwood Park which was a success. We extend a word of thanks to the Board headed by Rev. Preston Taylor and wife who made everything comfortable for us at their beautiful park. We assure them that Bethel will co-operate with them in any movement they shall put forth for the up lift of humanity. An invitation is always extended to the public to come and worship with us.
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE
RECEIVES HONOR
Having been engaged in the profession of teaching for eight years, Lottie D. Haygood, former principal of the Rock Hill School was elected Supervisor of the Rural Schools of Davidson County also a probationary teacher in the city Public Schools. She was also a teacher of the efficient management and excellent work outlined and done by the pupils which was on exhibit at the School Sunday and Monday of the closing week, and were viewed by both white and colored people each day following which a school picnic was held on the grounds and at which time the parents were addressed by Miss Cushing of the Fireside School. The students rendered pupils were presented by Rev. Joseph Kell, Pastor of the Community Church.
Not only was she engaged in school work but also in community upbringing which is attested by the fact that she is the managing editor of the "County School and Community Builder," a paper edited in the interest of the school and community which is circulated throughout the State. The success of her work gives her the honor of being elected supervisor without having made application for the position.

MME. OGLETON'S SUCCESS
There is no doubt about it, if one applies her brain, thought an energy to the study of one particular thing, success is sure to crown the efforts put forth. This is exactly what Mme. Margaret Ogleton has done in the beauty culture business. She has made this a specialization, devoted the best years of her career to the hidden secrets of hair growing and the intricacies of beauty culture. She holds diplomas, sore enough diplomas, from two of the best beauty culture colleges in the country. She is a woman of rare culture and refinement, a pleasing conversationalist, and has travelled much. It is certainly very instructive to one to hear the Madman discuss the hair, its use how to preserve it. Mme. Ogleton has been a charismatic child. She would be pleased to have those interested in beauty, culture call or write her at 700 Overton St. Nashville, Tenn.

PASSES AWAY

..., a mother in the church and
a land mark in the community passed
away early Wednesday morning,
July 4th. She was in her 87th year,

and had been a pillow in the M. E.
Church for over 47 years. By birth,
Mrs. Evans was a Virginian but came
to this state when she was nine years
of age. She lived to see all except
two or three of her old friends and
associates pass on ahead of her. It
was interesting to hear her to the
brillishing occurrences of
the days of the klux klux and then
rejoice in being spared to witness
the marvelous changes that have taken
place.
Her first husband, Mr. John Johnson did not live very long but left one son, Mr. Ebenezer Johnson who makes his home in South Nashville. Her second husband Mr. John Evans died in 1899. He was a gifter machinist and an excellent business man. Mr. Evans ran a saw mill, which he used to throw the wood during the season for harvesting small grains. His death was a serious loss to his people and the community at large. In addition to Mr. Johnson already mentioned, Mrs. Evans leaves the following children to mourn her departure: Mrs. Mattie J. Scott the wife of Bishop Scott of this city; Mrs. Ida Bell Luckle also of Nashville; Mrs. Frances M. Ellis of Trev. W. C. Ellis of Missouri and Dr. James D. Evans of Fort Gibson Oka.

Every member of this club has passed some state board; a member of the executive committee, banquet speaker and chairman of the advisory committee which met in council with President Hubbard once a week. Nine days after graduating Dr. Dawson, who had begun with his friends a hard and thorough review of the state board was suddenly stricken seriously ill and for days illness物理ized to live. During his illness, friends came to meet him and friends, together with his colleagues and popular wife, did everything possible to save his life. His recovery was remar-kable. Although weak and advised by friends not to undertake the task, yet he took and passed the board, Dr. Dawson's average for his entire medical course was 94 1-2 for his senior year 95. Nashville is very proud of Dr. Dawson and wishes him unbounded success.

Teachers.
The teachers have continued to improve in the power of effective command and in the general method of conducting lessons. Their work has been both earnest and intelligent. The faculty of this school have taught their respective branches so long that they have become expert in their lines. During my visits to the various class-rooms, I noticed that enthusiasm, comprehensive knowledge of the subjects and sincere devotion to the work were present in a marked degree. They all seem to be striving for better individual scholarship and greater personal efficiency and to this end some are pursuing post-graduate courses.
The Graduating Class.
The class that graduated on the night of June 10th will be the last class to receive diplomas from the old Pearl building. An immense crowd filled the spacious auditorium to its utmost capacity to witness the exercises, which marked the celebration of the 31st annual commencement. Porty six young people, twelve (12) boys and thirty-four (34) girls, were in a room of the school, W. Wilkerson, President of the Board of Education. They constituted a band of young people, high in aims, lofty in purpose and polite in bearing. They were a joy and inspiration to their teachers. These graduates are fully up to the standard of scholarship, character and physical equipment of the classes of students. They are prepared to uphold the record the other made. Nearly one-half of the teachers in the Nashville colored schools and a large number of teachers in the Davidson County schools are graduates of this public educational institution. As a great number of colored teachers must in future come from this school, and as their efficiency will depend on the training provided, herein, it follows that no pains and no necessity expense should be spared to make this school the best possible.
Loss in Attendance:
Long before the organization of the schools in September, it had been stated that the new high school would in all probability open in January, 1917, about the time of the beginning of the new semester. A number of the patrons who live in South Nashville felt that the distance to the new school would be too great for their children to walk. They did not wish to enter their children in the high school in the Fall Term when they were reasonably certain that they would send them elsewhere in the Spring Term. The result was a falling off in the attendance, as compared with the figures submitted for the Suggestive Organization in another reason which caused a decrease in their attendance was the winter season, which was poor and severe. The high cost of living and the Exodus of some of our patrons northward also had an influence.
Increased Enrollment.
The loss in attendance in the Fall Term was overcome by the increase in attendance in the Spring Term, caused by the addition to the high school of the promoted 8-A pupils, who passed the mid-winter examination. Sixty-nine (69) pupils were transferred to the high school from the grammar school department. This augmentation in number necessitated the appointment of a new teacher in the high school to teach the 9-B grade and Miss Eva N. Murrell was assigned temporarily to the position.
Writing, Drawing and Music.
One weak spot in our work in the high school (I might say, in all the schools) is a lack of supervisor of writing, drawing and music. Such a supervisor is sadly needed. I know that the school suffered since Prof. Richard Hill who formerly filled this position, resigned. The teachers of the regular corps who are elected because of their ability to do grade work have made, as a rule, no adequate preparation or received no technical training to teach these special branches. I think the above statement is not intended as a reflection on them. I think the
teachers who are assigned by their principals to undertake this work will admit that they are inexpert in these branches. They need a special teacher or supervisor to correct their mistakes and supplement their deficiencies. It is my earnest hope that the petition sent to the Board of Education from the Association of Colored Principals asking that a supervisor for this work be appointed will receive due and merited considera-
The New High School.
At the closing of the Grammar School exercises on Wednesday, June 6th, the President of the Board of Education was present and, delivered diplomas to 118 graduates of the 8-A grade. On this occasion he made a public declaration that the new high school would in all probability be ready for occupancy in September. The opening of the new school, which is the most expensive and best equipped building ever, will be the colored children will be an epoch-making event in the history of the education of my people. The Pearl High School has arrived at the dawn of a great awakening. It is the duty of the colored people to hasten its coming and to leave no legitimate step untaken and no impeding stone unturned to make the fulfillment equal to the promise. It is true the building is somewhat inaccessible on account of the distance, for pupils from South and East Nashville. But this objection may be possible, provided of attractive courses of study. These, I think should be elective, flexible and adapted to the aptitude of the pupils and the needs of the community.
The Course of Study.
One of the most important matters connected with the opening of the new high school will be the revision of the Course of Study. At your suggestion and with the assistance of my faculty, I have already submitted to you what we consider the proper Courses of Study. It is not necessary to reproduce them here. The report is on file in your office. May I ask that you and your honorable Board study it carefully with an eye single to the highest development of the Negro and give to the children the opportunity to follow citizens the best course possible.
In my report I recommended three Courses of Study and suggested the adoption of a fourth. I wish to repeat in brief the arguments advanced in advocacy of these courses and solicit your earnest interest and endorsement of the same.
The General or College Preparatory Course
This Course is intended for that group of boys and girls who intend to enter college and the professional schools. The Negro race needs doctors, lawyers, teachers and preachers. If the race is to have intelligent, capable, true and correct leaders, some provision should be made for this aspiring group in a public high school of the greatest hindrances to the progress and welfare of my people. I have been able to speak leadership-leaders who have been able to comprehend the proper relation of things. I feel very strongly that college preparatory advantages should be given to those who desire it, and who have the mental power to do the work thoroughly, that we may have men and women to lead in the intellectual, moral and social development of the race.
I think that every boy and girl in the high school should be offered the opportunity to take these courses, respectively. No boy's education is complete without some knowledge of tools and how to use them. No girl's education is complete without some knowledge of household arts. I love every girl should know how to use these tools, but I do not think that these courses should be made compulsory and that every child in the high school should be made to take them. Some boys are not cut out for carpenters and bricklayers any more than for scientists and mathematicians, and some girls have no more natural bent to become good seamstresses than to become good linemen. I think that these courses he offered for those whose talent runs in this direction, but the choice left open to the pupil.
The Commercial Course.
Negroes are now engaged in nearly all lines of business. They have their grocery stores, banks, publishing houses, millinery shops, drug stores, undertaking establishments, moving picture houses, real estate stores, tailor, carpenter and paint shops, demand for a current and growing demand for computers and girls trained in business methods. In the past, colored boys and girls who wanted to learn short-hand and typewriting have had to employ a private teacher or go to Chicago or Detroit to learn these branches. This Course is intended to meet this demand. If the school is to furnish curricular design, meet the needs of the community, this Course will fill a long-felt want.
Teacher Training Course.
In view of the fact that forty (40) of the ninety (90) regular teachers in the colored schools are graduates of the Pearl High School, it might be advisable to introduce a Course of Study to better fit them for this work. In the past, this school has distinguished itself by the number of its graduates who were able to pass the City Teachers' Examination, and thus become eligible to teach in the city schools. It has done a great work in keeping our city supplied with teachers. I did not prepare a Course of Study for the training of teachers, but shall be glad to meet your approval. The effect will build up our own school by keeping in it those pupils who plan to become teachers, instead of losing them to attend other institutions.
I cannot close this report without thanking you, the Board of Education and the members of my faculty for the cordial support given me without which success would have been impossible.
Respectfully,
F. G. SMITH, Principal.

GOOD SAMARITANS OF GEORGIA
DEDUCATE NEW BUILDING.
Athens, Ga. July 10.—Five thousand Negroes were here today to attend dedication of the improved Order of Samaritans which is just completed at a cost of $35,000 all of which is paid. It is a modern office building of brick with two stores on first floor, twelve suites of offices on the second floor and an auditorium on the third floor and was designed and constructed by Negroes. B. J. Davis, of Atlanta, well known in Negro fraternal circles, delivered the principal address and urged the white people to give his race better treatment and referred to lynching and insufficient school facilities as some of the causes of negro migration.
"Some Negroes," said Davis, "think that God is better to the white man than he is to the colored man. That is not true. The white man works harder than we do. God gives him health and strength just as he gives us, but the white man works and makes every lick count. I have more respect for the man who owns his home or a farm and has a bank account that I have for some bare-headed empty-pocketed philosopher who sits on the street corner and whines about his rights."
Continuing. Mr. Davis said:
"But the Negro is not so going to be dislabor. He is going to do his duty as the highest evidence of his war and of what he deserves at the hands of the government. Our government cannot enter the world war, demanding freedom for Ireland, freedom for Russians, freedom for Believers under the vote of aristocracy and despotism, as long as ten million loyal citizens at home are denied industrial and political freedom; so long as we are denied the right to vote and the right to have a say-so about, who shall execute the laws and who shall execute them. Before the law all men are equal. There is nothing wrong in the law. There is nothing wrong in the genius of our institutions. The wrong is in the executors and administrators of the statutes on the books.
In every state in which subterfuges have been invoked to cut down the Negro vote, to molest and intimidate him into that degree of physical fear where he will not present himself to state is not democratic, and its government is unjust. The Negroes of exercise his manhood rights, that this country, owning a billion dollars of property, are without a representation, any legislature or congress, or any function in this great oppressive million people are governed without their representative participation. Laws are made for them, and they have no voice in their enactment.
These are the rights for which we must fight. These are the blessings of democracy which are now denied us, and let us get together for the common betterment of all, forgetting prejudice within the race; forgetting denominational, religious and racial strife and fight for the right to sit upon the jury for equal and fair suit laws, for a free bailout and a fair count, for equal accommodations on the railroads, for better, broader and higher educational facilities. Let us tell the white man that his distribution of the public school funds is little less than a misappropriation; that any system of education or distribution of public funds that provides ample and modern school houses for the education and uplift of white children and affords starvation salaries for Negro teachers and provides no house at all for the Negro children is a misuse of public funds and is inconsistent with the democracy for which we fight.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD
THEATRE
After making a successful tour of several weeks, Irvin C. Miller's great wonder show "Broadway Rastus," seen not long ago at this theatre, returned this week in response to a demand that is indicated by the great crowds attending the performances of recent occurrence. The plot develops Rastus from the raw-boned youth in Georgia to the genteel gentleman in New York. The same cast is found with but few changes and the company is more than able in every respect to make good the musical comedy with song and dance revue as related by the play'righi Irvin C. Miller. It breathes the spirit of beautiful fantasy and is radiant with color and stirring melody. The music pervades the senses and arouses the emotions. The atmosphere is that of delightful romance and the theme is clear cut and attractive.
Domer Brown, who wrote the music and lyrics, has the virtue of real inspiration, and there is a pleasing uniformity about the quality of the melodies which illuminate the play, and it is a play which is not at all negligible. Brown's music is a genius artistic achievement. The music all the way through is of strikingly sensuous and accompanies action which is unusually brisk. So live in fact, is some of the "business" that there is a close approach to farce, but it is all amusing and is gorcely set and well done. There are the qualities that will likely aid Down in carrying Miller to a high plane of popularity.
Broadway Rastus is in two acts and sixteen scenes with twenty song numbers. All of the songs are accorded encores and they deserve the hearty endorsement. There are a number of dances which are similarly received. The settings are magnificent. It is a trumpet of the scene maker. The dances show marked originality. Tre dancing of Rastus and Ethel Norris, who are I. C. Miller and Esther Bigcon, the girl with the golden smile, is a revelation of gracefulness and makes instant appeal. As her Bigeou is a charming actress and even the costumes she wears fall to dim the splendor of her eye or lesser the rouiness of her golden smile. There is girlish spontaneity in every thing she does. Her dancing, her singing, her maidenly smiles battle the pen, while they remain in memory and delight. Assisting those in memory are partner of Rastus. Theodore Pankey Goldie McCarrier, Downs and Gomez Goldie Chapelle, Grace Johnson Chinese Walker, Minus and Bryant Sadle McCarrier, Lewis McBride, Ed Lewis and a chorus of thirty formed girls whose costumes are lacking in none of the known tits. The stage groupings are colorful and make many pictures that please the eye as a car load of scenery is used in the production—Philadelphia Tribune.

BY COL. C. C. BALLOU, WHO HAS CHARGE OF THE TRAINING FOR COLORED OFFICERS, DELIVERED AT THE DEDICATORY EXERCISES OF THE ARMY Y. M. C. A. AT FORT DES MOINES.
The army branch of the Y. M. C. A. has become almost a part of the army. Its usefulness has been so thoroughly demonstrated that there is never the slightest hesitancy on the part of any authority in affording its fullest facilities for the discharge of its important functions. On the behalf of the army, a full-time assistant in the promotion of the contentment, sobriety and morality, and therefore of the discipline and efficiency of the soldier. This importance is so fully recognized by me, and by my superiors, that I included the fact of the establishment of the Y. M. C. A. in connection with training camps in my telegraphile troops to combat insurgency headquarters. It is well that you, who are possible future officers of the army, should note the functions and results of this institution, and that both here and elsewhere you should contribute by every proper means to the development of its influence and success. And when you become responsible for the well being of soldiers of so many beards in mind the methods and results of the Y. M. C. A.
This appears an opportune moment, though not strictly a suitable occasion, for referring briefly to the general plan of the big wheel of which this training camp is only one small spoke.
Then came the question of the part the colored race was to play. Constituting more than ten per cent of our population, could we realize in it a national asset of ten per cent of the men we would call to arms? This would mean nearly fifty thousand under the first call. The existence of this camp proves that the superior authorities decided to utilize this color man would not only be given all the quota proportionate to his numbers, but would also be given an equal chance with the white man to prove his fitness for the exercises of the higher and more responsible duties of leadership and command. Whatever may have been in the minds of those who made this decision, the result is that there was precipitated and centered in this training camp at Fort Des Moines that further decision as to whether or not the colored race was of successfully endured this test of its fitness for this most important duty of citizenship and franchise.
Here are assembled representative colored men from east, west, north and south, to prove or to disprove their fitness for the responsible duties of command. These duties require more than patriotism and personal courage. They require extended technical military knowledge; trained military strength; the varying conditions of camp and field; high standards of truth and honor; exceptional qualifications as an instructor of soldiers and administrator of all the affairs upon which depend their contentment, health, discipline and military efficiency; and also that important and intangible quality that is expressed in the term "leadership." These qualities are to develop and possess the ability to command the confidence and best efforts of soldiers. They must see in you one who always looks out for the welfare of his men, and secures it, and the one who can be trusted to accomplish the maximum result which a minimum cost in life and physical, mental, and more strength, patience, endurance courage, strength, courage, strength and obedience, are merely a few of the attributes you must possess to attain success.
You must learn all of a soldier's necessities as to food, clothing, arms, equipment, shelter and sanitation, and teach them how to use and teach him in their use and care.
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY JULY 13, 1917
You must be able to instruct him in rifle practice, bayonet practice, bomb throwing, intreaching, making wire entanglements, and in field sketching, map reading, the use of the periscope, the trench mortar, first aid to the wounded, and details upon which the life of the soldier and success of the army depend. In the three months you spend in this camp you will be able by dillent application and hard work for ten hours a day to learn the A B C of this work. You will get the "intricate big volume whose contents you must later become familiar th. if you are to be fit to command even a squad.
That it would seriously injure my personal and official reputation were I to recommend unfit men for the vitally important duties of an officer, perhaps of little moment, but that such action would probably result in the loss of many human lives, and perhaps involve the loss of an important battle is of great moment. You may therefore, expect that no peril sympathy or consideration will deter me from ruthlessly eliminating from this training camp any man that I find falling short of established standards of honesty, morality and military efficiency—The Bystander.

KILL FLIES AND SAVE LIVES
Kill at once every fly you can find and burn his body.
Observers say that there are many reasons to believe there will be more flies this season than for a number of years.
Clean up your own premises; see and insist that your neighbors do likewise.
Especially clean "out-of-the-way places," and every nook and cranny. Flies will not go where there is nothing to eat, and their principal diet is too flimty to mention.
The fly is the tie that binds the unhealthy to the healthy!
The fly has no equal as a germ "carrier" as many as five hundred million germs have been found in and on the body of a single fly.
It is definitely known that the fly is the "carrier" of the germs of fly disease. It is widely believed that it is also the "carrier" of other diseases, including possibly infantile paralysis.
The very presence of a fly is signal and notification that a housekeeper is unhealthy and inefficient.
Do not wait until the insects begin to pester; anticipate the annoyance. Any odor pleasing to man is offensive to the fly and vice-versa, and will drive them away.
Take five cents' worth of oil of lavender, mix it with the same quantity of water, put it in a common glass atomizer and spray it around the room where the insects are located. It favourably even on the table linen. The odor is very disagreeable to files but refreshing to most people.
Geranium, mignonette, hellorope and white clover are offensive to files. They especially dislike the odor of honeysuckle and hop blossoms.
According to a French scientist files have intensive harned for the color blue. Rooms decorated in blue will help to keep out the files.
Mix together one tablespoonful of cream one of ground pepper one of garlic the mixture is poisonous. Put in a saucer, darken the room except one window and in that set the saucer.
To clear the house of flies, burn pyrethrum powder. This stupefies the flies, but they must be swept up and burned—Carthage Courier.
THE GREAT UNITED STATES.
Only one and one half centuries ago on July 4th, Thomas Jefferson signed the Declaration of Independence which made the country free. Every man who had a spark of patriotism in him was willing to spill their life blood to uphold and protect this declaration.
The letter United States that contained only about 13 political divisions and 3,000,000 population. But from this the country and population gradually increased until through conquest and purchase she extends from Ocean to ocean and from the lakes to the Gulf.
On March 30th, 1867 Alaska was bought from Russia for $7,200,000 and Hawaii was annexed in 1898. In 1899 Spain ceded to the United States, Porto Rico and Guam and the United States gave her 20,000,000 for the Philippine Islands. The United States recently purchased from Denmark the West Indies, now known as the Virgin Islands, for $25,000,000. At present the area of continental United States is 3,620,990 square miles, and the area of the country and its possessions, not including the Virgin Islands, is 3,775,855 square miles with a population of 110, 000 souls.
Today practically all trains in Great Britain are pulled by American locomotives, and in all parts of the globe can be found locomotives manufactured in the United States. We have a greater mileage of railroad than the whole of Europe. Our wealth is greater by $7,000,000,000, than the combined wealth of the central powers in this war, and lacks only $15,000,000,000 being equal to the combined wealth of the Allies. In short, her wealth in round numbers is $200,000,000,000. She is the greatest and wealthiest nation the world has ever known.
This is the enormous height to which the nation of the great Washington has attained. This is the powerful nation that has intered the war for right of man.

"DAMAGED GOODS"
The Greatest Moral Picture Ever Shown. The First Time for Colored People Positively no Children Under 16 Years of age Admitted.
THE EAST ST. LOUIS RIOT.
The riots that are taking place in East St. Louis seem to be the culmination of industrial disturbances, but possibly the deepest and most potent factor in that riot as in all race riots is prejudice, racial prejudice, a prejudice that has its cause and only defense in the color of a man's skin. But it is not the riot itself, or the cause of the riot that this little editorial hopes to deal with, it is conditions suggested by a close study of what took place at the time of the riot. It appears that soldiers were called out. If reports are to be credited one of the first duties of the soldiers was to disarm all Negroes. The second duty seems to have been to stand by and quietly give assurances to all white riots that they would not be disturbed as long as they were killing, busing and bleeding Negroes, and burning and looting their property, and if the Gazette is to be credited, and we are sure why they did not stop the rioters simply gave for an answer, a grim. The crowds seem to have cheered when Negro women were assaulted and pulled from the street cars, and set up by men. No soldier, police or civil authority interfered. This possibly is the saddest feature of the entire affair, for when authority, the proper authority, whether state or municipal, wink at crime, at open crime, that permits crime under their very eye to be performed, simply because the crime against whom it is being performed is a Negro, it demonstrates the weakness of government and the ultimate overthrow of government, for the same rioter who acts under the protection of authority today will turn on that authority tomorrow, hence the government of state or of city that permits crime to be committed under its very eye against a weaker class of people will find itself in the arms of anarchy, and will create or breed for itself, a condition that will ultimately destroy it.
Another sad feature of that riot is that the persons committing the crime against the Negroes were largely aliens, and in many instances German aliens at that, aliens whose ancestors are today attempting to blow up every American vessel and destroy every American enterprise. These strangers and aliens under the guard of the militia are permitted to commit the most outrageous crimes against the Negro who is a full-fledged, true and tried citizen of the American government. The fact is or seems to be that racial prejudice is so strong against the Negro until even authority itself had rather see the enemies of the government triumph and destroy its Negro citizens than to see the Negro protected and given his civil and political rights; they had rather be consumed in the house of their enemies than to give a square and honorable deal to the black man. If the public press is to be credited, farce. In some instance, it rowers grew the state militia of Illinois is a mere so bold as to disarm soldiers. Think of it, soldiers sent to protect life, keep the peace, having their loaded guns taken from them by a bare-handed rioter. What is the world to think of such conditions? What opinion does civilized humanity get? Are we to fight against the enemy abroad while our own citizens are slain with out protection at home? It appears to us that if we are to present a strong front abroad that we ought at least to have peace at home and the feeling of brotherhood should pervade in all the races. At any rate, the voice of the government ought to be heard. No riot or rioter ought to be permitted to proceed when the government, the proper authority said stop, otherwise the authorities grow in contempt, and the rioters grow bold. We guess possibly that is one of the reasons why that the Negroes are not allowed to from state militias is because in times of disturbances, he might not make a good protector of rioters, and anarchists, and incendiaries and blood shedders.

Nashville, Tenn., July 8—The Maroons won a double-header from the Swifts today. The first game was a good and well-played game by both the Maroons and the Swifts also. The Swifts took the lead on the Maroons and led them to the team's win. They took to Cole and a pass ball by Cole allowed to cross the home plate, the Maroons winning 4 to 3. The second contest was not played out on account of the strike of the McGraw bunch who could not agree to finish the contest and then Umpire Grady announced to the fans that they would win 9 to 0. Come out on next Sunday, July 15th, and see the champion Black Sox and the hard hitting Nationals in a double-header. Both teams are in good condition and you will enjoy yourselves. Stratton and McGavock are back and will be seen in the Sox line-up with big Wm. Frye on the first corner as a doorkeeper.
