YOUNG PASSES AWAY FORMERLY MEMBER OF PEARL HIGH FACULTY—END CAME AT CAMP LEE—ALUMNUS OF HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Hampton, Va., Feb. 11—Hampton Institute has lost its first man on account of the World War. Word has come of the death at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., of Steven Randolph Young, who received his Hampton diploma in 1914. At the time of his death, Steven Young was supply sergeant of the Eighty-eighth Company, Twenty- first Training Battalion. Prior to his call to the National Army, Young MR. JOS. L. JONES, Cincinnati, Ohio, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Press Association and editor of the Fraternal Monitor. was engaged in teaching manual training in the Pearl High School of Naashville, Tenn. Stevan R. Young was born on June 10, 1889, in Essex County, Va. He entered Hampton at the age of 21. His early education was received in the public schools of Upper Zion in Caroline County and in the Bowling Green Academy. Before coming to Hampton, Sergeant had taught school for one year. He entered the Hampton-night school in the fall of 1910 and during the day served as an orderly in the Academic Department. His work record throughout was rated "Excellent." For three years Young's scholarship was paid by the Riviera Country School, New York. All his whether in the classroom, the workshop, or Hampton battalion of cadets, was done well and with rare conscientiousness. During his four years at Hampton, Young took an active part in the school's missionary work. He combined in a delightful way good cheer and seriousness. After his graduation from Hampton he returned to his home in Upper Zion and became the principal there of a two-room school for three years. He also served his community as a Sunday school worker; helped the school buy books; did some farming and organized clubs for farmers, school patrons, and school children.

TWO-BY-FOUR SHERIFFS AND CONSTABLES REBUKED—RUNNING NEGROES FROM NASHVILLE—GET WORK THEMELVES. Hundreds of Nashville's best citizens have been congratulating Judge A. B. Neil of the criminal court for his masterly utterances a few days ago in charging the grand jury. Judge Neil, it is understood, came squarely down on what is often termed "little two by four" deputy sheriffs and constables who are said to have made life so miserable to thousands of people in and about Nashville, and who primarily are said to be the cause of hundreds of Negroes leaving Nashville and the state of Tennessee for northern centers. It is claimed already that the stand taken by Judge Neil will be upheld by the leading white citizens of Nashville, that the life of the citizens who have been made miserable on so many occasions will now be more secure. when he is going to be raided and locked up on some frivolous charge "It is quite significant that these arrests are nearly always made on the night following the day, the men are paid off. A great many of these laborers are living in box cars, as stated, where they are employed and are far removed from any thickly settled neighborhood. I am framed to tell you, gentlemen, that I am not going to stand for a few petty of fliers raiding these places and interfering with and intimidating these people who have been brought her at great expense to do this work Suppose they do shoot a few "craps in a box car. Who is going to be hurt? These companies have special officers and watchmen to keep the peace, and they are more interested in public order than anybody. For a number of years the Negroes of Nashville have been compelled to take all kinds of treatment at the hands of some of the officers of the law, who, because they wear a badge and carry a big cane, were at times overbearing. Complaint after complaint has already been registered about people being arrested on frivolous charges and carried before the police, and derided that officers who are working on the fee system might get their fee. Only a little while ago it is said that officers arrested more than one hundred and fifty Negroes against whom there were no specific charges, and carried them all before one of the judges. Many of these, as soon as they were released, left the South. Hundreds of laborers were, therefore, driven from the south to the north. Civic organization like the business and Professionals in Nashville in Nashville of which the Rev. Roy Tayler or President and Mr. Ira T. Bryant is secretary; the Nashville Negro Board of Trade, of which Mr. A. N. Johnson is president and Mr. D. Wellington Berry is secretary, have been revealed that hardy any of the Negroes who left Nashville did not go because of their dislike for the city, but it is claimed that many are used to forcebed them. are said and have been hounded, mistreated and carried before various court officers, tried and convicted they no longer are being compelled to pay fines or work their time out; but from all indications, and especially from Judge A. B. Nell's mainly charge to the grand jury, it would seem that a new day is dawning and that the intelligent, law-abiding white citizens of Nashville have determined to put an end to the wholesale operations of deputy sheriffs and constables who, according to Judge Neil's statement, and according to the persistent rumor that has been afloat for some time, have made a practice of preying upon inoffensive workmen of both races, as well as not been confined to Negroes, but that the laboring class of white workmen have suffered just as badly and that many of the officers on the fee system have depended entirely upon their raids, as they term them, for livelihood. One of the recent actions calling forth the utterances from Judge Neil was the reported wholesale raid on Radnor Yards last Saturday night, when, it is claimed, that without any provocation whatever, these workmen who had only been paid off the day before, were arrested, charges entered against them, but the action of Judge Neil in falling to prosecute them and his splendid charge to the grand jury are having great effect. It is said that hundreds of Negroes would be willing to return if they could be assured that they would be given the chance to be arrested and given a chance to work for an honest living. In charging the jury Judge Neil said: "Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: You are all aware of the fact that at the present time there is a great demand for labor, not only in the city, but in the immediate vicinity of the city, due to the establishment of the great enterprise in Hadley Bend by the government, the building of spur tracks from the several railroads leading into the city and the completion of the railroad yards near Radnor college. It has come to my attention that already several officers are beginning to arrest laborers at Radnor yards and other placees upon trumped-up and frivolous charges. On last Friday night, which was the night after pay day, a number of officers arrested a great many Negro laborers who were employed in building and laying spur tracks at the Radnor college yards. Arrests to Get Costs. "The question of securing a sufficient number of men to do this work at the present time is a very serious one, especially when it must be done immediately to relieve the railroad congestion generally, and to get transportation facilities for these public works at the earliest possible moment. These arrests are not made for the purpose of enforcing the law, but solely to get costs out of these men. They are intimidating laborers everywhere and making it more difficult to get men to build these important enterprises. When a man quits his work and goes to his home, or to his shack, many of them like in box cars, he never knows NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1918.

Mr. Perry is serving his second term as president of the newspaper organization. when he is going to be raided and locked up on some frivolous charge. "It is quite significant that these arrests are nearly always made on the night following the day, the men are paid off. A great many of these laborers are living in box cars, as I stated, where they are, employed, and are far removed from any thickly settled neighborhood. I am frank to tell you, gentlemen, that I am not going to stand for a few petty officers raiding these places and interfering with and intimidating these people who have been brought here at great expense to do this work. Suppose they do shoot a few 'craps' in a box car. Who is going to be hurt? These companies have special officers and watchmen to keep the peace, and they are more interested in public order than anybody. Might Get Work Themselves "If these officers would get employment themselves at Hadley Bend, or with the railroad, and help to complete these enterprises they would be rendering a real service to the country. Instead of working themselves they are going about actually paralyzing and crippling the elders in the community, and are trying to build up the community, and at the same time help our country in what is thought to be the darkest hour of its history. "I instruct you to ignore all of these cases unless the attorney-gen MR. C. J.

WORK OF "Y" CAMPAIGN PROGRESSING Workers Enthusiastic--Goal 500 Members The work of the membership campaign of the Colored Branch Y. M. C. A., to date consist mainly in organizing the campaign forces. While the announcement was made to the effect that the campaign began February 1st and would run forty days, it was expected at the time that at least one-third of this time would be occupied in lining up the workers and getting into their hands membership cards and full instructions as to the Association's mission and the needs of young men generally. Mr. E. L. Kinzer and Mr. Wm. D. Aven are leaders of two divisions which will consist of eight captains each. The heads of these two divisions have agreed to be responsible for securing 250 members each. The eight captains which they have selected will have associated with them four men each. The total working force when completely rounded up will consist of eighty-two men. The (Continued on Page 8.) PURCHASING POWER OF MONEY WAR AND MONEY—ECONOMY SLOGAN OF DAY—REDUCTION OF CONSUMPTION—INCREASE IN PRODUCTION. Pointing out that never before in history has an understanding of the simple principle of economics been so sorely needed, a committee of eminent economists engaged in the study of the purchasing power of money in war time, issued today its first public statement. After exhaustive investigation this committee has reached its conclusion unanimously. It would impress upon us the imperative need of reduction of consumption and an increase of production, of the repression of non-essentials, and of promotion of organization and redirection of industry. "In meeting the great national adjustment to war conditions," the committee says, "we must not let our 'business as usual' impulses prevent the needed saving and shifting of industry, list we pay a terrific penalty for the neglect of living and national inefficiency." The committee finds the public confused and vacillating between two economic philosophies—the simple, direct, old-fashioned, correct philosophy of saving and working and the fallacious philosophy, best epitomized as "business as usual." "One PERRY, the National Negro Press Association, also the past thirty-five years. Mr. Perry ident of the newspaper organization. of our greatest perils in the futures in further credit expansion," the committee says, and this peril comes largely from our lending by borrowing." The committee points out the right way and the wrong way to lend money to our country. "The right way," it says, "is the frank and honest way of saving up the money by spending less or earning more; the wrong way is the at first cheap and easy, although ultimately costly and painful way, of lending the Government what we borrow at the bank." "By giving up non-essentials to buy Government securities," the committee further says, "we allow the Government to buy war essentials and at the same time release productive energy from the making of non-essentials for us to the making of essentials for the Government." "But," it goes on to say, "if we won't make the needed sacrifice and perhaps delude ourselves into believing that we do not have to do so or even that we ought not to do so, that, on principle, we favor "business as usual" for ourselves while expecting business unusual to be beaded by the Government, we simply lose the motions of giving our billions to the Government without really giving them up. Therefore the Government, in order to buy away from us what we will not otherwise surrender, bids up prices and the rise in prices which comes about through this sort of lending is cumulative." "As the prices of war supplies rise the money cost of war grows and the Government has to borrow more. Bigger loans by us to the Government require bigger loans to us from the banks. This further expansion of bank credit favors a further rise ANNUAL SESSION OF PRESS ASSOCIATION—DEVELOPMENT OF RACE IS KEYNOTE OF MEETING—LARGELY ATTENDED Knights of the quill from every section of the United States are in Nashville this week attending the annual session of the National Negro Press Association. These quill pushers standing out in the fore-front of American journalism, insofar as the Negro is concerned, will deliberate throughout the week on matters of vital importance affecting the work of the Negro in the journalistic arena. Among them are found white-haired veterans who have labored for more than a quarter of a century, some as long as forty years; while there are others practically in their teens who are just being initiated into the mysteries of journalism, but as representatives of an organization with papers and magazines having a circulation of more than one million, three hundred thousand weekly, three hundred thousand the organized world. They are here to shape the policy of an organization that is now the spokesman and the veritable mouthpiece of about twelve million people. That their deliberations will be watched, scrutinized and held up to the public view has long since been conceded. The Negro newspaper and magazine, whether published in the interest of religion, education, fraternity, finance or what not, has, according to the claim made by the representatives of the Association, stood out for the ideals of a race advocating race unit and uplift in every vocation. Nashville seems to be contributing excellent entertainment to whoever here it was, announced even before their coming, that many Nashville homes would be opened open. In addition to this, the Y. M. C. A. dormitories have been placed at the disposal of the representatives of the press. Occupying membership in the Association will be found the names of the race's most distinguished leaders. They come from the pulpit as well as the pew, representing every line of profession as well as every line of business. One of the newspaper men said while here: "It has often occurred that the man occupying the editorial chair, on a Negro job, a law degree, a law school, a minister of the gospel, teacher or college president, just as well as an author and a literary man by profession." The discussions at the meetings throughout the week, according to the reports of their daily proceedings, have delved into every condition confronting the people, the President's war policy, food conservation, the coal situation, Jim Crow car laws, Jim Crow legislation; in fact, the development of the race from every point of view seemed to have been the keynote of the meetings from the very opening. From the scores of messages received at the corresponding secretary's office, he becomes evident that the representation would cover every section of the country, and the central location, such as Nashville has proven to be, seems to have been the drawing card for the representatives of the press. in commodity prices, starting the whole process over again in a vicious circle." This committee is made up of Prof. Irving Fisher (chairman), of Yale University; Prof. E. W. Kemmerer, of Princeton University; Prof. B. M. Anderson, Jr., of Harvard University; Dr. Royal Meeker, United States Commissioner of Labor Statistics; Prof. Wesley Clair Mitchell, of Columbia University; and Prof. Warren M. Persons, of Colorado College. The committee in collecting its facts has had the task of examining the branches of the United States Government, as well as of some large commercial and financial houses. The statement of the committee: follows: "The country has experienced an acute coal situation, a drastic coal order, the breakdown of railway transportation, the taking over of the railroads by the Government, mounting living costs, and price fixing. "These events crowded upon us while we were still congratulating ourselves on the success of the draft, the passage of fuel and food conservation laws, and the unparalleled subscriptions to Liberty bonds. The plans for these subscriptions, however, do not represent things accomplished; they are only plans laid out. The test of the Nation comes when we try to execute those plans. The breakdowns we are experiencing show the magnitude and difficulties of our task. "We are undergoing a national adjustment to war conditions—a great shift from a peace to a war footing, the growing pains of which are acute just now, though they have been experienced, less acutely, for the past three years. "This war, the greatest of all, is greatest especially in its cost. It is estimated that the money cost alone for all nations is upward of a hundred dollars. Each week the Boer War, each month as much as the entire Russo-Japanese War; each two months as much as the entire Civil War, which hitherto has held the record. "Never before in history has an understanding of, the simple principles of economics been so solely needed. Although much is being done to improve the public confused and vactilizing between two economic philosophies —the simple, direct, old-fashioned, correct philosophy of saving and working and the fallacious philosophy, perhaps best epitomized as 'business as usual.' "So far as we let our 'business as usual' impulses prevent the needed saving and economic shifting we shall pay a terrific penalty in higher cost of living as well as in national inefficiency and maladjustment. "The living cost and the level of commodity prices in general are now, as we are all aware, extremely high. The average wholesale prices in the United States last month were 81 per cent above that of July, 1914; that is, the purchasing power of money over goods in the wholesale market is almost in half. "The rise in retail prices of foods in the same period has been 57 per cent. This means a reduction to less than two-thirds in the purchasing power of money over foods in the retail markets. Abroad the rise of prices has been even greater. "Between 1896 and 1914 wholesale prices in the United States were rising at the average rate of only one-fifth of 1 per cent per month; but even that small rate, long continued, was enough to make the "H. C. L." a very painful fact. "Since the war wholesale prices in the United States have been rising at the average rate of 2 per month, or only 10 times as fast as before the war. In some countries in Europe the rise in prices has been two or three times as rapid as in the United States. While the war lasts the commodity price level will inevitably mount by leaps and bounds, unless we adopt rigorous preventive measures. In particular we must avoid, so far as possible, lending by borrowing. "Loans to the Government made not from savings but from borrowings will tend to increase bank credit. Further extensive credit will chiefly bring about a rise in commodity prices. It is therefore desirable that further loans to the Government should be made out of current savings. "There are two ways for us to lend money to our country. The right way is the frank and honest way of saving, by spending less or earning more. The other and wrong way is the at, first, cheap and easy, although ultimately costly and painful, way of lending the Government what we borrow from the bank. Even that species of robbing Peter to pay Paul is, of course, better than paying Paul nothing; for Paul, I, e., the States Treasury, must have the cash. It can be justified only when unavoidable or when used as a temporary expedient, and the debts so contracted are soon repaid out of savings. "If I buy Government securities by giving up the purchase of a pleasure automobile, the Government can buy a military truck with the same money, and the labor and capital which would have made the pleasure car for me will make the truck for the Army instead. That is the right way. "The wrong method is employed if I insist upon buying that pleasure car and so can buy the Government securities only by borrowing the McADOO APPOINTS LAWYER HARRISON Oklahoma City, Oklo.-Another honor has been bestowed upon Judge Wm. Harrison of this city, as disclosed in the announcement made public in the daily Oklahoma of this city last week. Lawyer Harrison, who has been styled very often as the greatest living Negro orator, was notified that he had been designated by Mr. W. G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, to make a speaking tour of the south in the interest of the war saving campaign. The notice was sent from Washington, D. C., and is regarded here as the highest possible recognition of Judge Harrison's ability as a platform speaker. Only recently the Oklahoma Bar Association, of which Mr. E. G. McAdams is president, adopted ring resolutions in favor to the President Harrison commanding him to the President's United States and powers at Washington for any advice possible. Judge Harrison delivered the principal address at the Lincoln Birthday Celebration at Springfield and Danville, Ill., and is now enroute to Washington, D. C., where he is to receive his final instructions as to his work. Another message ordering Judge Harrison to Washington came from Mr. Charles F. Horner, the Director of the Speakers' Bureau at Washington. Much rejoicing has been occasioned here as Judge Harrison was regarded as one of the little R. F. D's about whom so much has been said for the past several years. New Orleans, La—Rev J. L. Burrell, D. D., the pastor of the Progressive Baptist Church, has been named as one of the speakers in the interest of the War Saving Campaign to be waged in Louisiana. Dr. Burrell has the distinction of being known among the national characters, he is prominently connected with the great National Baptist Convention. NUMBER 16 NEGROES AT DU-PONT COMPANY ABOUT 1500 TO BE EMPLOYED—NEGRO ALWAYS LOYAL—STUPENDOUS FEAT IN ENGINEERING. About fifteen hundred Negroes are to be employed by the DuPont Engineering Company at the g eat government powder plant that is being erected at Hadley Bend, according to a statement given out by Mr. J. L. Pratt of the engineering department, who is here and who will practically have charge of all the work. While these figures are not given out to be based upon as minimum or maximum employment, it is learned authorita- MR. B. J. DAVIS, Atlanta, Ga., Treasurer of the National Negro Press Association and editor of the Atlanta Independent. tively that it will be one of the institutions that will give more regular employment than any concern that was ever located in Tennessee. Only this week it was estimated that fully three hundred Negroes are at work at this plant, and by the various railroads who are also building spur tracks to the new government powder plant. The infux of the Negroes from every section of the country has already begun, and it is said that many of them are coming back from the north to "Sunny Tennessee" who are finding ready employment. While it has never been shown that Nashville was severely crippled by the exodus, it is a fact that a number had already gone north for various causes. The opening up of the plant is argued as a splendid opportunity for the return of many, as well as for the importation of a number from other sections. The loyalty of the Negro through every war, the very fact that he has never proven a traitor, that he has never produced a Benodict Arnold, has caused the real American who believes in the perpetuation of the government, to begin to look to the Negro for the solution to many of the perplexing problems. It is said that just as he is helping to solve the trench at the trenches, and on the firing line, Free Press, he has helped to serve in America somewhere in the furrows, he can and is being depended upon by large manufacturers to guard their plants and to give an honest day's labor. Experts in the labor problem, in the engineering department, as well as in the various phases of construction, are said to already have passed their candid opinion upon the fact that the Negro as a laborer has proven far more acceptable. It is understood that only through the effort of the stupendous engineering feat of building the Panama Canal was accomplished. One of the enthusiastic Nashville boosters declared that it would not be surprising if three or four hundred Negroes were employed at the DuPont Plant, and that he is certain that this many in all departments while the plant is under construction would be employed; and that even down at Sheffield where Continued on Page 8.)

No. Well what are you doing in the Name of the Lord? Yes that is the saying of many, "Looking out for self." We are now reminded the story of the old colored man who was fishing, had a little boy about four years old at his side, as he threw the line into the water, the little chap fell in also. The old colored fellow plunged in and brought out the youngster, squeezed him out, and stood him up to dry. A clergyman who came along happened to see him and said, "My man, you have done nobly, you are a hero, you saved that boy's life." You didn't do that, the colored man, "I didn't do that, the colored man, he had daint in his pocket." Now is that a downright selfish spirit? Is that it with many of us today; we are so full of Ego that our sick, afflicted, widows, orphans and all else may be hurled to the bottom of the sea of oblivion, while we are pulling hair out of each others heads by handself.

It is as follows: Dear friends I want you all to know how long I have been a faith cure by using my hands on the body without medicine. I began to rea'h the people at five years old. I began mind reading at seven years old. I can cure any kind of cough you have; if it is God's will I can cure you, and if not God's will I cannot but I will best on any one let it be white or black. If any thing is wrong, I can sure tell you what it is. I can tell you when you are going to have bad luck and I'll fix it so you won't. I can cure the pneumonia and Bronchitis, headache and the dropy, and also cure a baby if it has the thrasher, for I blow and put my hands on a baby and cures it. Any one has bad eyes I put my hands on them and cure them. This is all I have to say to you all. Mrs. Willie Birddine.

It is a Reforming power, for it has formed anew the methods of thought, government, and life, wherever it has been prescheduled. It is a transforming power, for it transforms the human heart from a well of evil to a spring of sweetness and purity. It is a deforming power, for its enlightening influence is destructive of superstition, untruth and evil. It is a conforming power, for its end is the conforming of the believer to the image of Christ. To make a long story short, its power is soul stirring, sin killing, and devil driving even though it has not as yet driven the devil out of you.

There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and give a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an exerted chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced resuscitant chemist. It makes the hair safe and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasoap lather very freely. It leaves the hair and suffice to parture a refreshing shampoo by the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or the price and then send them to you.

UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF REV. R. H. BOYD, D. D., SECRETARY AND FOUNDER, DOING A WONDERFUL WORK. More than twenty thousand Sunday schools, located in every portion of the United States, supported by their churches under the denominational and race-loving pastors have, so to speak, with one accord, been favored with orthodox denominational literature from the only Negro Baptist printing, Publishing and Book Binding establishment in the United States. The National Baptist Publishing Board's plant, located at Nashville, valued at over $350,000.00, has demonstrated the constructiveness of the Negroes of the United States. It has been the means of furnishing employment to more than one hundred and fifty members of the race. It produces its own literature from the printers' devil work up to the editor's desk. The Negroes in this plant can operate and manipulate the most delicate an intricate piece of machinery that has been thrown upon the market. Four mammoth Mergenthaler Linotype machines, nine printing presses, of the which writing is the highest, cover 10,000 countertables an hour, with every conceivable kind of book binding machinery, makes it possible for this plant to give the Negroes anything in the printing line from a postal card to a Bible, or from a calling card to an encyclopedia. In the last report of the secretary of that institution, which was read before the National Baptist Convention that held its session in this city, they showed that the operation of the plant has been marvelous, that the results obtained have far exceeded the most exaggerated predictions. More perhaps than any other one agency contributing to the plant's success have been the help of the woman, the wendable character, the Rev R. H. Boyd, D. D., who is a product of the days of slavery. He has been often designated as "the giant oil in the forest," "A Moses of his denomination," and a boon companion and a believer in the "Little R. F. D. and Unknown Baptist Preacher." His "Boyd's Pastors' Guide," that was adopted by the National Baptist Convention when it met in Richmond, Va., some years ago, with his "Boyd's Church Record Roll and Minute Book," are reported to be the most extensively used publications of a standard make in the denomination. While pure Baptist literature, set in type by Negroes, printed on presses and trimmed in a book binding plant operated by Negroes; written, edited criticized and corrected by a competent force of Negro editors and proofreaders, has left no question of a doubt but that the Negro Baptists have solved the problem of the Negro's ability to produce his own literature. The denomination, irrespective of their personal feelings has with one accord, stood up for and is sending their patronage to Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, a Nashville, claiming as they do, that "He has brought something to pass we will stand by the man and the in situation that has succeeded in giving a plant worth the whole one that gives our children employment and the same, gives to our schools. Baptist literature produced by their own people." Chief among the great supporters of the institution have been the so-called "R. F. D. preachers," and the "Little Unknown Baptiers." The recent addition to the National Baptist Publishing House plant at Nashville, in the form of new, modern, up-to-date printing machinery, has also put them in the fore-front of all the race producers. During the past year they have turned out two of the largest jobs ever handled by a Negro Printing establishment. One of the books that was run on off in this institution was nearly 1200 pages. The late Dr. Booker T. Washington was one of its staunchest supporters, and delighted on more than one occasion to refer to the success of the institution. When the "Washington Party" toured Tennessee with their special train, they wound up at Nashville and it was the mammoth chorus made up of the employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board who furnished the jubilee singing at the great auditorium on night eight, the songs written by Negro presses operated by members of the race, and Dr. Washington spoke behind a pulpit and used chairs made at the same institution. "Bringing things to pass, giving hope to the race, opening the door of opportunity for the Negro youth," has been one of the watch-words of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board, who operates the National Baptist Publishing Plant at Nashville, Tenn. HENDERSONVILLE Misses Minnie P. and Virginia W. Dyer visited Miss Janie B. Cantrell who is ill at the home of her sister, Mrs. G. Dyson Beard at South View.

This charge is one of the strongest the A. M. E. connection in state.

YOUNG MEHARRY GRADUATE AND NATIVE OF BRITISH CENTRAL AFRICA SUCCEEDING IN THE NORTH. RESIDENT PHYSICIAN AT MUD-GETT'S HOSPITAL IN PHILADELPHIA. Special to Nashville Globe. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 14—Readers of the Nashville Globe and friends generally will be glad to learn of the success that Dr. Daniel S. Makekebu has been making since he graduated from Mehary Medical College of Nashville, last May. For several years Dr. Malikebu has had a vision of being of service to his fellow countrymen, and to that end he has and is now attempting to raise funds for the establishment of an industrial school, a church and a hospital in his native land. After he has been invited to Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey and other states in interest of his proposed project he decided to further prepare himself for the work that was before him it was best for him to do some additional study. So with this aim in view, he matriculated last October at the University of Pennsylvania, to make a special study of Tropical diseases. He soon received the attention of his professors by his thoroughness and besetness and soon his fame went throughout the university. Indeed beyond the walls of the Medical school did he attract attention. His intelligence and many disposition, coupled with his ability attracted the instructors of the department of Anthropology that they insisted that he deliver a series of lectures to them on Africa and the customs of Africa. He has attended regularly the clinics at the leading hospitals of the city and very frequently served at the Douglass Hospital as a supply externe. His knowledge of clinical medicine, as Lizzie Hall. Special to Nashville Globe. CONFEDERATE G. A. R. RATES. Associated press dispatches of Feb. 11th from Washington, D.C., seem to indicate that the first action on the part of Director General McAdoo with regard to consenting to rates for the railroad companies was when he authorized that all railroads in the United States might grant a rate of one cent per mile for the members of the United Conferade Veterans and the Grand Army of the Republic, together with their families for their next annual re-union to be held during the coming summer. The Confederate Veterans will hold their re-union at Tulsa, Okla., and it is generally conceded that they will have a large attendance, while the Grand Army will hold their next meeting at Portland, Oregon. In handing out the statement, it is understood that some of the leading brain of the United States felt that this may be the last time many of the old soldiers can re-unite with their comrades, and it seems particularly desirable that they shall not be denied the opportunity while their country is at war. JUNIOR DAY AT BETHEL SUNDAY SCHOOL. Sunday, Feb. 10, 1918, was Junior Day at Bethel A. M. E. Sunday School. Memorial services were held in memory of Clara Lee Brown, who was a brilliant and faithful member of this Sunday school. The program was as follows: Recitation, Fannette, Shackleford; duet, Misses Harlan and McGee; paper by the teacher, (Miss) Pearl Gantt; remarks on the beautiful life of this dear little girl by the superintendent, W. H. Shackleford, and the pastor, Rev. S. J. Howard. The churches and citizens of Nashville should raise at least $8,000.00 this spring for the National Seminary. What will you give? Cleveland, O, Feb. 13, 1918—Mrs. Thomas Beach and Mrs. William Smith wish to be remembered to their many friends and also wish for the folks at home to know that they have joined the knitting class of Coro M.

[Image of a man in a suit and hat, facing forward.] associated with the thoroughness of his work attracted the attention of the famous Dr. Mudgett, and in Jan., was made chief resident physician of Mudgett's Hospital in North Philadelphia, the then present chief resident physician having accepted a call to a wider field. Dr. Malekebu has associated with him one other house physician, a druggist, a dentist and ten nurses. He is so mokkah, that he is not so hardened so that it will be practically easy for some worthy Meharry graduate to spend a year as an interne there. He is proving that Meharry men are both capable and reliable. Without a doubt, of all the Africans who have made good in this country, possibly none have worked with more zeal and has been more favorably known for his integrity and gentleness bearing than has Dr. Malekebu. He came to this country in 1905, having followed Miss E. B. DeLaney, the widely known Baptist Missionary of Florida, who served as his teacher for several years in Central Africa. Dr. Malekebu is a member of the famous Yoc tribe and claims lineage to a family of strong warlike and progressive members. After coming to this country he attended Selma University. The National Training School of Durham, N. C. and at Meharry Medical College. The Baptist Foreign Mission Board has appointed Dr. Malekebu to go to his native land and assist and later relieve his former teacher, M. E. B. DeLaney in the struggle for the uplift of Africa. We are sure that with his training and American ideas, he will succeed in infusing into the minds of his countrymen those ideas which are wholesome and elevating in their nature. Nashville and Meharry should feel proud of the showing of this young medico, and we pray for his further success. By Whittier H. Wright, M. D., Resident Physician Douglass Hospital Philadelphia.

The pastor of the church, the Rev. C. H. Clark, introduced Rev. J. A. Sharp, Superintendent of Teacher Training work for the National Baptist Sunday School Congress of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated), who preached a wonderful sermon from the text, "Choose you this day whom you shall serve." A large congregation heard this wonderful, convincing sermon. Dr. Boyd was present at the morning hour. Sunday school is progressing nicely. At the opening period Sunday morning more than one hundred were present. The entire session was very lively and interesting. The memebers of the church and school believe that in Dr. Clark's appointing Mr. Baker as superintendent that he had the place for a man and found the man for the place. Quite a deal of interest is being manifested in the music by the young ladies of the school. There are several exceptional good young voices among the young element and Prof. Johnson has succeeded in getting these young ladies interested in making the congregational singing of the school very good indeed. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Sunday school expert and superintendent of the Adult Department of the school, was absent Sunday morning. The day was spent by him in getting the schools in Atlanta in line for the coming Sunday School Congress which will meet in Louisiana. He returned to the city Monday morning. The girls of the Intermediate Department between the ages of thirteen and fourteen have organized their class and will be known as the Every-Ready Girls. Sunday morning they took the banner, contributing to their department 63 cents. Miss Annie Mai Dunson is president of the class. The full list of officers will appear in the next issue of the Globe. Mrs. M. Easley is the efficient and popular teacher of this class. We were glad to welcome in our midst after a long illness. Mr. D. Washington, who was teacher of the Metoka Class.

Jones, the once popular pastor and builder of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church of East Nashville, has reached his angle of success in the city of Greenville, S. C. Rev. Dr. Jones is not only noted as a church builder in his church, but he possesses rare gifts as a gospel minister. In Greenville some days ago some white men dropped into his church to hear the Negroes sing, and it was here that they heard what they confessed to be the greatest sermon that they had ever heard in their lives. One Mr. Henry M. Miles, a brother to the renowned hymn writer, G. Ausa Miles, a very rich man from Philadelphia, was the author of Nelson Miles, one of the nation's greatest heroes in battle, is also in the nation's service as an officer in the base Hospital in Camp Sevier, was one of the men who came ```markdown ``` in that night. And it happened that the Rev. Jones was preaching one of his characteristic sermons from the subject, "Straight Street." This man Miles arose after the sermon and acknowledged that he had never heard such a sermon, and as token of his appreciation of the sermon gave the church a chick for ten thousand dollars to be used in the erection of a new church. Strange enough, but this rich man has never missed a service since that time, not even prayer meeting. Colored Church Gets Donation. Ten Thousand Dollars Comes from Mr. Miles of Philadelphia to Israel Chapel—Will Be Used in Erecting a New Church. A donation of $10,000 has come to Israel Chapel, a colored congregation in Greenville, from H. M. Miles, an officer with the base hospital at Camp Sevier. Mr. Miles is from Philadelphia. The donation will be used by the congregation, of which Rev. I. H. Jones is the head, for erecting a new church. —Pledom News, Greenville, S. C. A. M. E. DELEGATION TO LOUISVILLE. Quite a large and representative delegation of prominent churchmen PORTER, the National Negro Press Associa- News. and ladies left Tuesday morning for Louisville, Ky., to attend the great Negro Methodist convoitation that assembled there this week. There are three bishops' councils held in that city, besides other side meetings incident to the councils. The special mission of the Nashville delegation is to appear before the General Conference Commission to ask for the next session of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church to be held in Nashville. St. Louis and Chicago have both, until recently, been rivals of Nashville. But it appears from latest accounts that St. Louis is drawn favor of Nashville. The delaware from Fremont consists of the following: Dr. J. A. Jones, A.P. Gray, H. L. P. Jones, J. H. Grant, J. H. Smith and J. K. Childress, Prof. Ira T. Bryant, Dr. J. C. Caldwell and Dr. G. W. Allen, general officers, also attend the council officially. Prof. Bryant is a member of the invitation committee created by the Ministers' Alliance. He will also present a petition on behalf of the S. S. Union Board. The meeting in Louisville consumed the entire week. A more detailed ac- . LESTER, Meharry News, member of the National count of the sessions will appear in these columns next week. CARD OF THANKS.

H. DISMJKES The grim reaper of death has visited our midst and taken from us a devoted and loyal member in the person of deacon James H. Dismuks. The church has sustained a great loss. He was ever faithful to his duty and an untiring worker, ever ready todo whatever he could for his church. He was one of the oldest deacons, having served for 23 years. He was the chairman of the committee that called the pastor to this church. Ever since that time he has been faithful and true to the church. In the passing away of him the deacon board has lost a loyal, whose place will be hard to fill. Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty God to take from our midst this our brother and deacon, he it.

We are thankful the Almighty God has seen fit to let us have some pleasant weather and that the people seem to appreciate his mercy and kindness toward them so much that they have begun to fill up the church pews as heretofore, and it makes us more anxious to try to make them comfortable by having a larger and better church. On next Sunday, February 17th, there will be another $1.00 rally all day and all churches and denominations are cordially invited to come out and help us as we hope this time to raise $150 that we hoped to reach.

Mr. Morris Lewis Gentlemen: Tam in receipt of your telegram inviting me to be prevent and to deliver the principal address at a Mass Meeting to be helt at the Colfzeum in Chicago on the after noon of February 12th, 1918, under the auspices of the Chicago Branch of the Natfonal Security League in connection with the representatives and leaders of the patriotic colored eltizons of your community. As stated to you in the telegraphic reply which Mr. Emmett J, Scott, my Special Aseistant, forwarded to you at my instance and request, | Sincerely wish it were possible for me to be present on the occasion referred to, for I would then have a splendid opportunity to tell of the fine spirit with which the great test of the quality of America Is being met by the colored people of Our Country. But the pressure of my official duties here compels me ta forego this pleasure, T wish, however, in view of my ‘enforced absence to send, especially to the Colored Americans of yout community and elsewhere, just fow words of encouragement ani ‘confidence. In our Reserve Officers’ Training Camp, recently: held at Fort De: Moines, lowa, representative youn; colored men’ presented themselves for training. They devoted them selves with zeal to the task and the are now {mparting to the men unde their charge the military lesson which they themselves learned. Bu more than this, they are teachin) to théir fellowmien the principies fo which America {s in war—those vite principles which are the foundatior ‘of the hopes of free people, and th keystone of National Security. After all, what 1s this thing w all “Democracy” and about whic! ‘we hear so much nowadays? Surel; St 1s no catch-phrase ot abstraction St 48 demonstrating too much vitalit for that. It fs no soclal distinetio ‘of privilege of the few, for were { that, it would not win the hearts 0 peoples and make them willing t die for its establishment. But tt ts, it seems to me, a hope as wide as the human race, involving men every- where—a hope which permits each of us to look forward to a thine when not only we, but others will have our respective rights, founded in the generosity of Nature, and: protected by a system of justice which wil! adjust its apparent coniilcts. Under Such a nope nations will do justice ‘to nations, and men to men. Nor can T believe that this democracy will be attained as a finished and complete ‘thing, but rather with Increased ed- ucation and knowledge, its applica- tion will enlarge and new meanings be discovered in it. It is not the philosophy of disorder, but of pro: gressive order, not the doctrine of restraint by force, but rather of self- restraint imposed by man who real- izes that one’s own freedom 1s saf- est when that of others is equally sate. In a most encouraging degree, ft ts belig regarded by colored civilians throughout the country, as a privi lege and as a duty to give liberally of their substance, of their thme, of their talents, of their energy, of thelt influence, and in every way Dossible, to contribute toward the comfort anc success of our fighting units and those of our allies across the seas. ‘The colored men, who were sub ject to draft, are to be commended upon their promptness and eagernes in registering thelr names for ser vice in the National Army, and like Wise mention 1s made of the rela tively low percentage of exemptio: claims filed by them. ‘Those in the service of thelr Country, 1 am sure will prove faithful and efictent, an will uphold the traditions of ‘thel race, It Is, indeed, most fitting that yo: | should’ hold your patriotic meetin fon the day set apart in honr of th birth of Abraham Lincoln, whos name fs eynonymous with ‘Freedor and true Democracy. Hoping that your meeting and a of your worthy efforts may be crow: ed with success, 1 am, Cordially yours, (Signed) NEWTON D. BAKER, | Secretary of War. DR. M.
