Burle Postmaster VOLUME XI STRONG E ON L HING SOUTHERN AG ESTILL SP COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED— SHERIFF DERELECT. At this writing some of the newspapers of Tennessee are vigorously demanding that the sheriff of Franklin county be outsted from his office for permitting the burning of a Negro by a mob' at Estil Springs. Other newspapers are anxiously inquiring whether the governor will offer a reward for the conviction of the men engaged in this brutal business or whether they will be allowed to go free without even an attempt being made to bring them to trial. We would much like to see the governor take some vigorous steps, and we would like to see this sheriff who clearly ran away from his duty, removed from office. We submit, however, that anything the governor may now do will be done too late, and the newspapers are too late in their condemnation of mob rule and of official inactivity. For two or three days the newspapers of the state told of the activities of the mob that searched for and caught the Negro with the avowed intention of burning him. The night before the dastardly deed was done armed men going to look for the Negro boarded the train on behalf of the police and there was open talk of a lynch. The next before the burning took place the Negro, captured and wounded, was taken on trains from McMinnville to Estill Springs, being exhibited to crowds of people along the way. For some hours he was in Tullahoma and men were asking each other if they were going that night to see him burned. The sheriff could have prevented the shameful affair, but if the sheriff made one move either to capture or to protect the Negro there has been no report of it. The governor, could have prevented it, but the only statement so far made by the governor is that he has yet received no official information as to either the murder committed by the Negro or that cottitted by the mob. Neither the sheriff nor the governor could have been ignorant of what was going on, if he read the newspapers. Prosecution of the men who engaged in the savagery of torturing and then burning a human being should be instituted and vigorously pressed. It probably will not be. Other mobs, guilty of similar crimes and tacitly encouraged to commit such crimes by similar inactivity on the part of the men chosen to enforce the law, have not been misled and not negatively be done now we be done too late. Action at the proper time would have prevented the lynching, would have saved the state from the shame which has come upon it—a shame for which the sheriff of Franklin county and the governor of Tennessee share responsibility with the masked men who wielded red not crowbars and poured oil on a shrinking Negro that hideous night at Estil Springs.—Southern Agricultural turist.

Representatives of three hundred and eighty-two members of the Local Hod Carriers' Union held a meeting in the V. M. C.A. building last Monday night. This was the regular weekly meeting of the Union and was preside i over by Mr. Frank Lloyd, who is president. While this organization of men was only brought into existence on May 16th 1917, it has, judging from the reports made Monday night, grown by leans and bounds. They are members of the Inter-national Hod Carriers' Union and are known as Local Branch Number 386. The purpose of the organization as set forth in the preamble is "to better the condition of all classes of workmen in general but of that of the hod carriers in particular, seeing to it that their every want is supplied if it can be supplied by organization and co-operation." From the Secretary, A. L. Henry's report and from a statement handed out by the president Lyons, it developed that they have been able to bring about many reliefs to the hod carriers. Through this organization the wages have been increased from 22 cents an hour to 25 cents an hour and it is understood now that they are asking for $37½ cents an hour and that it is confidently expected that this new increase will be granted. Through this organization donations are made to the sick. That is, when a fellow hod carrier is detained from work confi d to his home and bed from illness a donation is made from the treasure of this organization. No stated amount is set apart but on the contrary the amount given depends largely upon what is on hand in the treasure which seems to always have funds in hand. But there is a stipulation for death benefits as follows: $50.00 is to be paid to the family after the death of a member if he has been in the union one year the benefits are $100.00 if he has been a member for eighteen months, or $150.00 if he has been a member two years the benefits are $200.00. This it is said, is increased in proposition to the number of years he has been in the organization. The initiation fee is fixed at $5.25, while the annual dues are 50 cents per month. The benefits are paid monthly and monthly dues are paid a working card is issued so that even though one leaves his local union, the card is recognized by any affiliated union holding a charter from the international organization. Much business of importance was transacted Monday night but this was preceded by a special address by Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the secretary of the Sunday School Congress, who spoke by invitation to a crowded house. It was the first time that one of national reputation has been before the union. In his address he complimented the personnel of the union, extending them a welcome to the Y. M. C. A. building, assuring them that they were a part and parcel of the active life of the city. At the close of his address, a vote of thanks was given and a corollary to visit the meetings at any time. "It has been reported that the Hot Carriers" Union battled the brick-layers' declared president Lyons. "I want to brand this untature. Our union makes no fight on labor or capital or upon any of men. It has capital or upon any of time to look after our own business and the other half, leaving the other man's alone" he declared. It may be of interest to know that when this union was organized there were only fifteen members. It has grown to the present strength of three hundred and eighty-two and has seventy-five applications for admission now before the committee on membership. One of the unique features is that a rule providing for unfinancial members has been created. When one is the arrears or fails to pay his due for two months in succession, getting one dollar behind, he becomes unfinancial and is deprived of any bene fits accruing. He is sickness. The officers for the insuing year are Mr. Frank Lyon, president, Mr. Alto L. Henry, secretary, Mr. Eugene McKeever, treasurer, Mr. Charles Cummings, Sergt at Arms Mr. C. Chafien, corresponding secretary. It was announced that there would be an election of several new officers. The assistant secretary and a vice-president are to be elected as a later date and all of the meetings to be held from now on in the Y. M. C. A. building, arrangement having just been made through the secrety of the Y. M. C. A. MR. O. C. CHURCH DEAD. Mr. Oseaele C. Church died Thursday morning Mar. 7, at 8:15 o'clock at the family residence three miles Ewell End, age 62 years. On Sunday morning, March 10, at 11 o'clock from Lea Avenue Christian Church. Interment Greenwood Church. DR. CARY MORGAN DELIVERS ADDRESS About thirty representative citizens of this city, the result of two meetings which finally combined, decided on Wednesday evening that they would meet in the parlor of the Y. M. C. A. to hear an address with plans of further co-operation and activities from Dr. Carey Morgan. 'There was present a number of those who participated in the parade and construction that went to the State capital. Rev. Dr. Stevens of the Clark's Memorial Church presided and Mr. Sanders, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. acted as secretary. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1918. AN OPEN LETTER TO A WHITE EDITOR. Henry Allen Boyd Tells "Commercial Daily" They Are Trying to Stir Up Race Hatred and Prejudice. Nashville, Tenn., March 6, 1918—Editor Commercial Daily, 419 Church Street, Nashville, Tenn. Dear Sir: I have just read your paper of March 5th in which I see an article on the front page with a three column head, under the caption of "UNWISE CRITICISM," in which you assail the Nashville Globe, a Negro weekly newspaper published here, which has all these years stood for good citizenship and contributed all that pertains to the good of the people of Tennessee in general and Nashville in particular. I am sure you have labored hard to bring the Nashville Globe into disfavor. I feel that this paper has not in any way, by letter or inference, attempted to stir up strife. It has been conservative in its utterances, endeavoring at all times to bring about better relation between the Negroes and white people of this city and state. It has not even been outspoken in its condemnation of the bad treatment of the Negro by some of the white citizens. Its too and the white citizens have done and conserve. The Nashville Globe, I am sure, has not attempted to do as some of the white papers have done, stir up animosity in the community. I am sure your criticism of the Nashville Globe is unjust and unwate GALLATIN S. S. TEACHERS WELCOMES CONGRESS SECRETARY. Gallatin, Tenn.—Last week at the home of Rev. Peter Vertrees the Sunday school teachers and advanced scholars of the First Baptist Church listened to an inspiring address delivered by Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the secretary of the Sunday School Congress. In company with him were Mrs. J. J. Benefield, Mrs. Jones of Denver, Colo., and Mrs. H. A. Boyd. It was the largest gathering of Sunday school teachers in the city and the special address was made at the earnest solicitation of Dr. Vertrees and the officials of the school. At the conclusion of his remarks he was pressed for a return engagement in order that the citizens at large might hear him at length on the Front Line Sunday School Movement, as it is expected here that Gallatin and Sumner County would be largely represented in the front line Sunday school work in the future. STEVENS' HOME BURNS: A disastrous fire destroyed the home of Mrs. Stevens, corner 18th Avenue, North and Morena St., last week. Notwithstanding the heroic efforts put forth by the people in the neighborhood and a number of the young men students, the house was a complete loss. It is not known definitely just how the fire started. There was a deal of excitement in the neighborhood and the residents enough money to the destruction of several buildings in the same block. So critical did it appear that Mrs. Howard, who lives next door, was compelled to move out all of her household goods. EDITOR C. W. ALLEN LECTURES TO CHILDREN OF MOBILE COUNTY TRAINING .SCHOOL From the Mobile Press. Friday was a great day for the students and teachers of the Mobile County Training and Industrial School, Prof. I. J. Whitley, principal. The occasion was a visit from Hon. C. W. Allen, editor of the Weekly Press, who was accompanied by Dr. H. Roger Williams, of Mobile, and Mr. J. W. Glover, the leading business man of Plateau. Prof. Whitley had the pupils of the school sing several plantation melodies, after which he introduced Editor Allen, telling the students of the great blessing Mr. Allen had been to the institution through the columns of his widely circulated paper as well as donations from time to time. "Mr. C. W. Allen is a very modest man," said Prof. Whitley, "he seeks to hide from publicity and notorietty, but I am taking advantage of this opportunity to have him say a word to you, for the advice of a man who is himself a success is always worthy of attention." After expressing his regrets that he was chosen as the spokesman rather than some of the other visitors, Hon. Allen said in part as follows: "I am delighted to visit you, my little friends. I have heard so much of your great new school out here until I began to feel like the boy who was seen crying one day as if his heart would break . A kindly faced lady asked what was the matter. The boy said amid his sobs that his father had fallen down the long flight of stairs in the rear of the house. The lady tried to console the boy by assuring him that his father would get this time. All of the Negroes, I are, praying that the day will come when even those radical ones like the one who wrote the article appearing in your paper will see the wisdom of fair play and in treating the Negro as a citizen and taxpayer. He has not asked for any special favors, I mean the Negro citizens. All they want and all they expect is that the door of hope and opportunity shall not be closed in their faces. Negroes do not condone crime, I mean the law abiding, self-respecting citizens, any more than do the law abiding, self-respecting white people. If you will take the time to peruse the files of this Nashville Globe, you will find in its twelve or more years of existence it has been outspoken against crime and lawlessness. It has always taken the position that the murderer should be tried and treated as a criminal, but it has advocated that the strong arm of the law be allowed to take its course. The writer of the article under the caption referred to perhaps is not well versed in Negro history and the accomplishments of the Negro who from the birth of Christ to the present day has proven a factor in the happenings of the world. I am, therefore, appealing to you as an American citizen that you and the other white people who have the li- well. 'Taint dat,' sobbed the boy, 'fister saw him fall all de way, and I didn't see nuffin.' I could hear all about the wonderful work you are doing, but I didn't see nuffin', so I made up my mind to visit you today and see for myself. I wish to congratulate you on the fact that you have such a splendidly constructed building in which to do your work. This building would do credit to any community, and it stands as a silent evidence of the friendly feeling and kind interest of the Mobile County School Commissioners for you and your future welfare. Your building is well lighted and ventilated. Let your character cooide with it. Keep the windows of your soul clean. Keep your body clean. Keep your body clean the habit will become your nature to you and your thoughts will be clean. This will lead you into a clean life, without which none of you can hope to reach your highest possible degree of efficiency or be the greatest possible blessing to the world. "The two most far-reaching words of the hour are 'Efficiency' and 'Conservation.' They are related to each other by reason of their interdependence caused by the world war. I suggest to you, my young friends, that you make a close study of the two words and their relation. Write an essay on them and present it to your teacher. Hoover in asking you to conserve the food supplies of the nation is only asking what God has already commanded you to do. The story of the profligate prodigal son who was extravagant and came to be in want; the five foolish virgins who wasted their oil and found their lights deficient when the bride-groom came, as well as our personal experience all conspire to each us that "will happen now, we want, and if we would not come to want, whether in physical health and vigor, intellectual powers, food stuffs or what not, we must conserve a portion of what we get. The man or woman who spends as much as they make will never be above want. You must practice the habit of saving now while in the years of your youth and it will become a habit in your old age. "The many opportunities given you for self-improvement will be looked for with interest when you are grown. This world war is giving the world a revelation such as it has never had in its history, and when it is over opportunities that you never dreamed would come your way will be offered you. But what will it amount to to you if these opportunities are offered and you are not prepared to accept them. The hunter who never loads his gun until he sees game flying up will never bag any of the game. God is peculiarly blessing you and I urge you that you so conduct yourselves that none shall ever regret the time and energy spent for your uplift." Editor Allen and his party left the campus amid the rousing cheers of the delighted teachers and students. A NOTED SON OF TENNESSEE ASSES AWAY—A LEADER A MONG MEN—A SERVANT OF GOD. The funeral of Rev. Rufus Smith which was held here the 18th, of Feb. was one of the largest as well as one of the most notable that has been witnessed here for some time, the funeral was held in Keys Chapel, the church of his boyhood, the church where he grew to manhood. It was conducted by Rev. J. H. Ellis, who made choice of 2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course I have kept the faith." Rev. Ellis in his preliminary remarks related the close ties of friendship that existed between him and he deceased in advancing his kingdom, when he died, and that Rev W. R. Smith had made a successful landing, therefore said Rev. Ellis, I feel cheerful here this afternoon, because our brother has made a successful landing. He emphasized his text in what it is to fight a good fight terest of our great city at heart an i who are advocating a World Democra- racy, shall not in any way seek to their own interests and the white people of this city. I am not entering into any argument as to the ability of His Excellency, Thomas C. Rye, as governor of this state, because I have felt, when he was a candidate on both occasions, that he would make a fit governor, equal to the task, capable of administering the duties of that high office, fair and impartial, that he would be the governor of all the people. In spite of what you say about the Negro's unfitness in the argument, you will not find that the Negro has ever produced a Benedic Arnold. He has followed the flag from Bunker Hill to the trenches in France. His blood has been spilt upon every battlefield. If the white people in this state and city will see that the law is administered fair and impartial, they will find solid support in the Negro population in helping to maintain law and order, and they will find, am i so, that the Nashville Globe, a paper representing a Negro citizenship of forty thousand in this city, allows them to advise the Negroes to co-operate with them. Yours truly, HENRY ALLEN BOYD. NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING HOUSE EDITION COMING On Saturday, March 16th, the National Baptist Union-Review will issue an illustrated edition of its sixteen page paper, pictorial, biographical and historical of the great National Baptist Publishing Board, located at the corner of Second Avenue, North and Locust Street. The paper will be issued on the usual day and practically the entire number will be given over to telling of the accomplishments of what is easily regarded as the largest and most extensive printing, publishing and book binding plant owned and operated by Negroes in the world. It is stated that an additional fifty thousand copies of the Union-Review are to be circulated and that the Baptists throughout the country are evidencing great interest in its appearance. showing how the apostle was successful in fighting a good fight. And how the desecred died in the harness, died away from home died while looking after his Master's business. Then the speaker emphasized the importance of finishing a task that there were many persons who would begin and never finish. There were people who would gladly begin, but would not have the courage, the vim the grit to continue when the tide was against them. But to finish is the crown of every task. Rev. Ellis was the principal speaker and after him Rev. J. H. Thompson, the pastor of Key's Chapel, who was Maste rof Ceremonies, said he wished to present to the audience a white wan who was a very close friend of Rev. Smith and one among the first persons that Rev. Smith introduced him to when he first came to our city. Rev. Thompson made many favorable remarks showing the friendship that existed between the white man and Rev. Smith. MR. B. R. KERR PRESENTED Mr. B. K. Beer who spoke in part as follows: I was thinking when I left home just what I would talk from, I had selected the text that Rev. Ellis had selected. He spoke of them being boys together. How they discussed the different issues confronting life and especially what they could do to help the young Negro boys. How each would come to the other for assistance, and that I have never come to him for a favor and he turned me away. Then he spoke in general to the Christmas. How they should be the happy people in the world. That the fellow who carried a long face constantly looking on the dark side of life without looking on the bright side was not presenting a Christian attitude. After Mr. Keer, the following District Superintendents paid glowing tributes of respect. Rev. E. J. B. Booth of the Central Dist. Rev. E. J. Guthrie Cumberland River Dist. Among the ministers and other delegates who were in attendance were Revs. A. L. Nelson, R. A. Dowell, Ed Taylor, D. L. Garret, M. S. Strayhorn, J. P. Price, W. P. Creshmann, J. W. Lewis, P. W. Satterfield, T. W. Johnson, J. D. Chavis, J. W. Sebastine, J. S. Nance, H. P. Belcher, Wm. Meals and Miss Rosa Mae Sanders of Martin who offered resolutions.

GIVEN GREAT STIMUOUS—PRIZES TO BE AWARDED—LOVING CUP TO BE GIVEN—BASKET BALL AT "Y". The activities of the membership campaign forces were reported to the Committee of Management at a meeting Friday night. The Committee of Management, feeling that the offering of a few prizes might stimulate the workers, proceeded to adopt measures for same. It was given out at the workers' meeting Monday night that about $35,000 in prizes would be put on exhibit at the Association this week. It was further announced that there would be five different prizes. A loving cup will be awarded the division bringing the greatest number of members above 250, with $375.00 in cash to their credit. $10.00 in gold to the team bringing in the greatest number of members above 50, with $275.00 in cash to their credit. Prizes to individual winners once as follows: 1st prize one bringing the highest number of members above with $60 to their credit in cash, a solid gold ring; 2nd prize, above 10 members with $40 to their credit will be a five dollar gold piece; 3rd prize for the member bringing in the highest number above 5, with $25 to their credit, a unique lunch box at a cost of about $4.50 will be awarded. The committee was instrumental in having the following firms donate prizes as follows: Retail Merchants' Association, $15 in gold; Calhoun, jeweler, solid gold ring with the; Calhoun emblem embrerged with the; the $4.50 lunch box; Bob Brannon of the Hardware Hardware Co'; the loving cup is to be purchased by the Association. All of these prizes are on exhibit at the Association and may be seen at any time. In view of the added interest which these prizes aroused, the workers are raising the question as to whether or not it wouldn't be advisable to extend the time. The closing date was arranged for Mar. 12. A decision as to the extension of time will be reached at the next meeting. It was with interest that the Committee of Management took note of the numerous activities about the Association which shows its growing popularity. The Secretary reported that more than one hundred men had quarters in the rooming apartments; about 3,000 meals had been served in the month of February; anywhere from 500 to 1,000 men pass in and out the Association weekly in attendance at a Thrift Stamp meeting, or at the Medical examination room for military service men's club; baskets and hulk game, Ministerial Alliances and many other call meetings of interest to the people general Members of the Company of Management, who have made great sacrifices to get the Association on the way to permanent establishment, have already begun to feel highly repaid for whatever they have endured in the way of risk and criticism. They felt when the pres ent building was being purchased that they were doing the very best thing for Nashville under the circumstances. After one year's experience they feel it more confident in this belief. It was confirmed by some observers that probably the full significance of the transaction in the purchase of this building will not be realized for some time to come It was agreed in the Committee of Management meeting that the Chairman of the Religious Work Committee should at once call a meeting of this committee and immediately lay plans for a series of meetings at such of the various churches as might be inclined to extend them a cordial invitation. This is a custom which has been followed for the past five or six years and has worked good for the cause of the Young Men's Christian Association. The Secretary will be glad to receive an invitation at any time from any of the churches. Basket Ball Game Monday Night. Monday night the Invincible Quintette of the Y. M. C. A. gave the State Normal team a warm reception. The game was exciting and interesting from beginning to end. There was excellent team work on the part of both teams.

The patrons and friends of the Pearl High School have a rare treat in store for them at the High School Alumni concert which will be given Friday night, March 15th in the High School Auditorium. The graduates have organized an association and each member is working hard to draw out a full attendance. The best local musical talent in the city was at one time or another a student of the Pearl High School. The concert is being directed by Mr. A. G. Price, a well known vocalist and a great school in the class of 1901. Mr. Price overcomes antiquity over the concert and hopes for a large attendance. The general rehearsals have been very satisfactory and when the night of the concert arrives every thing will be in perfect condition. The object of the concert is to raise funds to purchase a stage curtain for the school. The contract for the curtain has already been let to Lebek Bros. at a cost of $160. The curtain is made of heavy green velour with valance. The Alumni Association and the Parent-Teacher Association are working together to provide some needed furnishings for the school. The principal, teachers and pupils are behind the movement and success assured. A victoria, a stage curtain, a moving picture machine and furniture for teacher's rest room are some of the things needed. The public is urged to attend and thus assist in securing these things for their largest and most popular school# Next comes the debate. The purpose for which these events are given eliminates the free list." Dr. F. G. Smith, the principal, is trying to make a complete list of all the graduates of the High School with their addresses. He requests each graduate in the city or out of the city to send him their local address at once. This information will be of mutual benefit to the graduate and to the school. The graduates of the school are requested to meet in the auditorium on Friday night March 5th at the close of the concert. A membership campaign has been organized and it is hoped that every alumni will become a member of the association. FIRESIDE SCHOOL Miss Ada F.

HADLEY SCHOOL NOTES There may have been some changes made in our school that the public doesn't know anything about. For instance, Dr. J. L. Leach was formerly one of our medical examiners. He answered to the call of his country and Dr. L. A. Fisher is now filling that place temporarily till his return. He will be the second of this school some weeks earlier in the discharge of his duty. He offered some healthy suggestions which were carried out in our school. Dr. C. V. Roman has charge of the department of eyes, ears and nose. In his examination he found several pupils whose throats, eyes or ears were effected in some way or another. These defects were pointed out to the parent or guardian, and I am quite sure proper steps will be taken to remedy these defects. Dr Roman ad dressed the pupils of the second floor of this school which was very interesting. His talk was on these three subjects: Work, behavior and love for your country and home. He said "You can tell an educated man on woman if his or her life is based on these three things." We are always glad to see Dr. Ro and Dr. Fisher visit our school. More than two weeks ago we had some trouble with back waters. The front entrance to the building was entirely shut off. Enterance to the building and yard was gained by coming in from the rear. In the face of all this we came and had good lesson as usual. Louise Gibson. 6-A Grade.

PYTHIAS GETTING READY FOR THANKSGIVING ON MARCH 24. Th annual Thanksgiving Sermon of the Order Knights of Pythias of the grand domain of Tennessee, to be held on the 24th day of March, hides fair to eclipse any service of its kind ever held in the city of Nashville. The various committees are at work in the effort to make it a service long to be remembered in Nashville. The Spruce Street Baptist Church located on Eighth Avenue, North, has been secured. Rev. W. S. Ellington the eloquent pastor of the Fisk Male Church in East Nashville will seat 1,000 people. The music will be furnished by some of the best talent in the city, including Miss Geneva Bender, the Fisk Male Quartette and the Meharry Quartette and others. A male chorus will furnish several selections. It is understood that the church will be fittingly decorated with flags representing the Allied Nations, together with an abundance of American flags. Palms and other plants will be placed in front of the auditorium of the church. The Uniform Rank will turn in out full strength. The Courts and Juveniles --- the most wonderful hair grower of the age. GROW-O-LA will positively grow hair where others fail. 5000 AGENTS WANTED in every village, town and city to sell goods. Now is the opportunity of your life to make money. Send $5 cents for sample outfit and particu- lars. Rush your order before some one else beats you to your territory. Some of my agents are now earning $25.00 to $50.00 every week. Complete course of instruction given by mail or in person for $25.00. 714 1-2 Cedar Street are expected to assemble at the church to await the coming of the Uniform Rank and the subordinate lodges. The idea of the committee seems to be that the service must be made older and from present indications they are in a fair way to succeed. The custom of holding an annual Thanksgiving service is as old as the Order. It is a day set apart by the Supreme Lodge on which all lodges and courts of the order are commanded to assemble and give thanks to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the many blessings received during the year. The members of the Order in Tennessee have ample reasons for being thankful during the past year in Tennessee the Order has thrived in spite of war and the severe weather conditions. Tennessee has secured a magnificent building for Temple purposes and success along that line is being realized daily. The Order has been able to furnish men and money to the United States government and has been gracious to us as a fraternity. What is true of this section is true of every division of the state. New lodges have been organized all over the state. Defunct lodges have been re-instated, the membership has increased in every lodge despite the fact that so many men have migrated to the north. At the first meeting of the general committee the following officers were selected: Prof. J. B. Batte, chairman; E. T. Brown, vice chairman; Dr. S. C. Caruthers, secretary, Mrs. Mary Lee, assistant secretary and Mrs. Clemmie White, treasurer. At a subsequent meeting, Prof. J. B. Batte was elected Chancellor Commander of the day, E. L. Kinzer, Master of Arts, C. Fiedler Prelate, Knight受攻 of Stonewall lodge, Master at Arms, Homer Britton, Inner Guard, Robt. Ralph, Outer Guard and Mrs. Mary Leworthy Counselor of the day, Mrs. Katie Wilson, Matron, Prof. N. W. Rider was chosen as organist. With this splendid array of talent, there is no reason why the service should not be the best ever held in this city. The public is cordially invited to attend this gathering and take part in the service. The members of the Order are always anxious to see their friends on such occasions that they can be present. We learn something of the great work being done by the Order in this State. This service will begin promptly at 2:30 p. m. in the auditorium of the Spruce Street Baptist Church. Usheres in sufficient numbers will be on hand to see that all will be comfortably seated as far as possible. Grand Lodge and Grand Court officers will be on hand on this occasion. Visitors from the surrounding towns are expected to be present. Sir Edward Anthony, Deputy Grand Chancellor in Summer County is expected to bring a delegation from Sunner Lodge, Sir T. A. Williams of Franklin, who is a member of the Pythian Temple Commission is also expected to be present with members of the Order from that place. "JUST A SMILE." We are very much in love with boys. The fact that Jacob had twelve sons used to impress us immensely, when on Sunday afternoon our mother made us read Bible stories, instead of promenading up and down the-pavement in front of our home. At first we rebelled but as the riot was put down immediately, in first class order we acquiesced gracefully, and once we were not allowed to make acquaintance with the little boys in the street, we proceeded to get acquainted with Joseph and Samuel and all the little boys of Biblical fame. We suppose that our reason for liking the male sex came about because of the preponderance of that sex in our own little family. A girl with four brothers and no sisters usually immerses into womanhood either with profound respect for or wholly antagonistic to the male element. We are forced to admit that we immersed respecting the male immature affection, though we are an arden immature affection. Of course while respecting them, they seem to intuitively understand that we must not be domineered over. Boys are such ripping good form. They never gossip. They never nag. They do not cry for a little scratch. In fact we like them because they are risky. We have landed on top the coal house at our old home many a time with the assistance of a brother pulling from above and a brother pushing from below. Of course coming down was an altogether different matter. After having been helped into the mischief by them, they left you to come down as best you could, especially if the avenger in the form of your mother was awaiting your decent. Right here we would like to remark that boys never change. Even when they are forty they are just boys grown up, that's all, with the same boy is tendencies. A little boy visited us one morning this week and when he went away he left us smiling. As we sit down to write this story we are still smiling. This little boy is a perfect gentleman. A delightfully, inquisitive, well bred, boyish boy. As we opened the door for him, we stepped out on the porch in negligence to bring in the morning's paper. "Why don't you dress?" he asked. "We mean too, just as soon as we write this note to your mother," we replied. "What are you writing?" we were asked. "We are answering what she wrote us." "Have you had your breakfast?" "No," we replied. "We have had our breakfast a long time ago," we were informed. "How nice" we exclaimed. At this juncture we finished the note at the same time carrying on a rapid fire conversation and answering questions. Then came a search for an envelope. None could be found so we placed the note in a folder that was addressed "To the head of the house." "What does this say," the boy wanted to know. We told him. "What does it mean," he asked. "It means the grown person at your house," we hesitated. "Who?" he demanded. We gasped. We really did not know what to say. But were forced to answer, so we said "Your father, isn't your father the head of the house?" "No," the boy said calmly. "Who is then," I demanded. "Mother," replied the boy and chanked the conversation. "What do they mean by W. S. S," we were asked. "War Savings Stamps," we replied. "What does that mean?" he demanded. "It means that you give the government you money and after a length of time you get it back." I replied. "Just like you put your money in the bank." I finished lamely. "I see you don't know anything about my bank," he told me, "I can't get my money out till I'm grown." "Oh," said I. "Who is that in the bed?" he asked. I told hom. "Why don't you get up," he wanted to know. "Search me," I thought to myself but to him I replied "I don't know I am sure." "It's time every one was up," he said. "Yes," I said nonchantly, while my spirit said "Surest thing you know." "Well we must be going," he said. "All right" said I. "Be sure you don't lose your mother's note." "Good bye, honey bunch," he said as he went out the door. And I have been smiling all day. —C. J. W. MRS. JANE SCRUGGS GOES TO HER REWARD. Franklin, Tenn. Feb. 27, 1918. We have lost from our midst a very dear friend and neighbor in the person of Mrs. Jane McDougle Scruggs, widow of the late James Scruggs, Sr., died near here at her home at Southall, Sunday morning at clock, Feb. 17, 1918, age 67 years. Her death was the result of a paralytic stroke fifteen years ago, from which she never recovered. Mrs. Scruggs was the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. John McDougle of Valdosta, Ga. She was born at Rome, Go. When nine years old she was taken sixty miles from her parents by her young mistress (old master's daughter) to live; at which time the Civil War began. At the end of the war she fell into the hands of Mr. and Mrs. George Jones (colored), was brought to this place. Shortly after this she became acquainted with and married James Scruggs, being married when only fourteen years old. When she was mother of children, she had husband and children on a visit to her parents at Valdosta, Ga. Her father at that time was the district superintendent of the A. M. E. Conference at Valdosta. He held this of fice for a number of years. Sister Scruggs and husband were man and wife fifty-two years, reared a large family, several of whom have already gone to their reward. Brother Scruggs celebrated his seventy-fifth year. July 4th, and died July 25th. He lived and died a short distance from the place of his birth. He was a prosperous farmer. Both were very devoted parents and loyal neighbors, were well known throughout Williamson County and had a host of friends among colored and white. Both were connected with the Primitive Baptist denomination when first becoming Christians and died in that faith. They were very well known in their church. Their death Brother Scruggs fifty-two years in Christ. Sister Scruggs was a Christian twenty-nine years. She was for many years before and after her affection treasurer in Leper's Fork Church at Hillsboro, of which she was a member. After becoming so feeble in her health, she resigned as treasurer a few years ago. Through all her illness she never forgot to praise God. Three years ago Miss Nannle L. Scruggs, the youngest daughter, just turning into womanhood, a very bright and lovable girl, passed on to her reward. She was a very attentive child to her parent, was loved by all who knew her and was a devout Christian. God saw fit to take from our midst Sister Jane McDougle Scruggs. It is our loss but heaven's gain. Surviving are four daughters: Mrs. Sara Seeden, Mrs. Samuel W. Rucks McDougle, Mrs. Sead of Nawaleville, and Miss Earlee Scruggs of Southville three sons: John W.

Dr. Ladelle is no stranger in Arkansas for there is no project for good in the state but what acknowledges the as: sistence of his benevolent hand, for his was a mighty part in building up Baptist institutions, prior to his cal to the ministerial work in Dallas He was one of the noted four whe ‘took a stand In Chicago against Mor- rism and Booker Jimgo practices and all kinds of Irregular practices.

At 11 a.m., the pastor, Rev. A. Whitworth, delivered a wonderful discourse on "Self-denial." The speaker said he was afraid even professed Christians did not understand the practical meaning of the term as to what Christ is, and that he is not aware they are only seasons of fruitfulness, but the character must not be periodical. It will remain in a resigned attitude. As an ever-flowing stream and yet overflowing, because it has a large source. At 8 p.m., he spoke on "Patience," saying the word patience to those who possess it is the queen of all virtues, for it means long-suffering which will not retaliate when oppressed; and endurance that will not succumb under oppression. We are aware of the best A. C. E. Leagues in the city. Come and see for yourself. You are welcome.

Mrs. Howard spoke to him at the close of the meeting and told him she wasn't so scared of him as the last time when he was near her and was planning to kill all the people of Colorado Springs. All hearts relied to hear of the work he is being done among the Indians and to know the transforming power of Christ's works alike in all lives. Mrs. Mariah Kenny, so long associated with Roger Williams University, next spoke on "Spoiling the child." Mrs. Kenny brought many practical and helpful suggestions. She said much of the wrong doing and selfishness of children and young people was due to the carelessness of parents and urged that parents and teachers give wise and loving discipline to those under their care. It is a mistaken kindness to let children have all their own way to interact with their parents and to have a proper share in the cares of the home, thus receiving training that will mold their character and fit them for a useful and honorable place in society. There was much appreciation for Mrs. Kenny's address and her hearers were grateful for the sound advice and wise counsel given. At the roll call there was response from all the missionary societies who gave reports that they were doing nicely. In addition to the representation there was a good collection, as a result of self-denial that had been practiced by a number of members. Remarks of an encouraging nature were made by Rev. R. Statton, pastor of the church, after which generous refreshments were served by the sisters of the Fairfield Baptist Church and Missionary Society. The First Baptist Church on Eighth Avenue, North, the First Baptist Church of East Nashville, the Fairfield Baptist Church, all reported Sunshine Bands recently organized.

If this particular little article was not already named "Brown Number Three," I would call "A Conference I would like to Sea." You know this thing of getting together is "in the air." Talk with men and women of the race and all of them are agreed that we need is for the race to get together. Race unity, race loyalty and all the other terms applied mean simply that there should be more pulling together among us for permanent progress along all lines, and I noticed last week half a dozen or more of our leading papers were pulling hard as usual for us to pull together. Now, we return to that Conference that I would like to see. It is this: In each city or town of any size, let there be an occasional conference between housewives of our race and the Negro merchants. There is every reason, it seems to me, to commend and encourage such local conferences. In the first place, women purchase $5 per cent of the merchandise consumed in homes, which means that colored women have control over a "mighty big" purse; a purse that jingles a billion dollars a year. These good women have said in the past some of our merchants charge higher prices, fail to give good service, to carry a diversified stock, to keep their stores attractive, etc. We know that many of our busi- ness men are modern in every parti- cular and cannot be classified with slip-shod merchants, but the fact remains that if more of that billion dol- lars was spent with Negro business men, many more Negro boys and girls would be provided with suitable employment amid wholesome sur- roundings. So we say that now the Government is helping to request the prices it places our mer- chants in the same footing with other merchants, at least in one more particular, and there is every reason why such local conferences would serve to get our women better ac- quainted with them, who calls a conference in your city, will begin a movement of far-reaching posi- bilities. All of which remind me that the progressive Local Negro Nec- tessile League at Savannah, Georgia, has decided to have a Ladies' Aux- illary. That Local League is a model in many respects. (To be continued next week.) PEKEL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. The auditorium of the high school was crowded to its full capacity last Friday night by patrons and friends of this popular city institution, who came to witness the drama, "The Trouble at Satterlee's." The public had waited patiently for the presentation of this entertaining comedy by Louise L. Wilson, and the execution of it by the high school girls was well high perfect. Miss Ella Ramsey played the leading role, in which she showed unusual dramatic talent. The Boys and Girls' Glee Club entertained the audience with some special numbers. Miss Hiff Moores and Mrs. H. J. Johnson, former pupils of the high school, assisted in making the musical part of the program a decided success by the rendition of well-selected soprano solos. **Enrollment at School Increased.** Few citizens realize that in the Pearl High and Grammar Schools of this city, Nashville can boast of the largest and best public school in the South. It has a faculty of twenty-eight teachers and one thousand pupils. The members of the high school faculty are all college graduates, some of them holding two and three degrees, obtained by hard study from either local or distant institutions, and many of them has been lengthened to four years, requiring fifteen Carnegie units for graduation. The Pearl High School vitho: the shadow of a doubt has the best vocational equipment of any Negro school south of the Ohio river. This speaks well for the city and shows the attitude of its white citizens toward Negro education. One thing lacking is a Commercial Course, where Negro boys and girls can have the opportunity to learn Shorthand and Typewriting and a suitable laboratory for the performance of scientific experiments. Meeting of Middle Tennessee Teachers' Association Postponed Notice is hereby given that the meeting of the Middle Tennessee Teachers' Association, which was scheduled to be held in this building March 28th, 29th and 30th, has been postponed. For good and urgent reasons, which have appeared in the daily press, the white teachers have postponed the meeting of their association. No holidays therefore will be given by the different Boards of Education in Middle Tennessee for attendance upon this convention. There was nothing left for the colored teachers to do but to declare the postponement of their meeting. Concert by High School Alumni. The public will be interested to know that the date of the High School Alumni concert has been fixed for Friday night, at 7 p.m. at the school Mr. A. G. Price, of the class of 1901, who has full control of the arrangements for the concert, has met with the hearty co-operation of the graduates of the school. He has prepared a very select program and one which should draw a record-breaking crowd. His experience and success in such matters are well known to the Nashville public. All graduates are requested to meet in the auditorium for a holding on the afternoon of Sunday, March 3rd, at 4 p.m. Candidates for graduation in the class of 1918 are invited to meet with them. Visitor at Pearl High. The school was favored the past week with the presence of the following visitors: Mr. Chas. Stewart of Chicago; Rev. M. R. Dixon, of Greenville; Miss.; Mr. Lee Klinzer, of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Co. and Hon. James Bumpass, lawyer, of this city. ANNUAL MEETING OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE COLORED TEACH ERS' ASSOCIATION POST- SOLVED Owing to present conditions arising from the war and the uncertainty of general affairs, the annual spring meeting of the Middle Tennessee Colored Teachers' Association has been postponed.

FOOD CONSERVATION That the world may be free from the rule of the German Government the almost saluted French . women are doing a greater part of the agricultural work of France while the men are in the trenches. The French women do not complain, except that they are not able to do more. Try raising vegetables in the flower beds, flower pots and boxes. You will be surprised to know just NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MARCH 8, 1918. how many vegetables can be raised in this way. Let the children have a trial and see what they will do. It is much better to raise food of your own free will than to be compelled to raise it for others—the Germans, for instance. That food may win the war, it is necessary that you have a war garden, so as to produce food. If you have no ground, then rent a vacant lot. The amount of food which can be raised on a small lot, if carefully worked, will surprise you. A few seeds, a little work with the hoe, will give you many a fine meal. Many of the school girls who are taking courses in cooking or domestic science have shown their parents the value of the different foods for the human body. In selecting your seeds do not forget to plan for the winter as well as for the summer. Try planting a few seeds now and then, so as to get a continuous crop. Most people eat too much, even when the price is high, and it is from this eating too much, or "stuffing," that the doctor and the drugist make their money. Try making pies without a top crust. The able-bodied man or boy who is not doing something to win this war is a slacker. Take your hoe and help win this war that we all may not be governed by Germany. Save the bottles, to be filled with fruit syrups left after the canning. Peach and apple syrups are fine. At a recent conference of religious and educational workers held in Birmingham, Alabama, resolutions were passed, pledging support to the call of patriotism, and heartily sanctioning the policy of the Government in encouraging thrift and industry among the people and discouraging every form of wastefulness and needless indulgence. Here is a one-dish dinner which has in it five kinds of food which a meal should contain. This is enough for a meal for a family of five. Eat with this dinner, bread, and for dessert have fruit or bread and jam. Dried Peas with rice and Tomatoes. 1 1-2 cups rice. 2 cups dried peas, 6 onions, 1 tablespoon salt, 1-2 teaspoon pepper, 2 cups tomato (fresh or canned). Soak peas over night in two quarts of water. Cook until tender in water in which they soak- ed. Add rice, onions, tomato and seasonings and cook twenty minutes. Choose your food wisely. Study these five groups. 1. Vegetables and fruits. 2. Milk, eggs, fish, meat, cheese, beans, peas, peanuts. 3. Cereals, corn meal, oatmeal, rice bread, etc. 4. Sweets, jelly, honey, etc. 5. Fats—butter, margarine, cottonseed oil, olive oil, drippings, gueu. seed on, olive on, trippings, suet. You need some food from each grower. DON'T SKIP ANY. Don't think that wheat bread is the only kind of cereal food. The Government asks us to save wheat to send abroad to our soldiers and the Allies. Let the North try the Southern Corn bread, and the South the oatmeal of the North. Half the fun of cooking is in trying new things. An oatmeal pudding is delicious. Here is a delicious corn meal and milk dessert. Indian Pudding. 4 cups milk (whole or skim); 3-4 cup corn meal, 3-4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1-3 cup molasses. Corn helps us feed the world. Ours is the splendid burden of feeding the world. The more corn we use, the more food can be sent abroad. There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to make good dishes for dinner, supper and breakfast. Here are some more corn suggestions: Hot Breads: Boston brown bread, Hocake, Muffins, Biscuits, Griddle Cakes, Waffles. Desserts: Corn meal molasses cake, Apple corn bread, Dumplings, Ginger bread, Fruit gems. Hearty Dishes: Corn meal cro- quettes, Corn meal fish balls, Meat and corn meal dumplings, Italian polenta, Tamales. **** You can tell an American by what he eats.

Moton, Principal of the Tuskegee Institute and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, announced today that NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK would be observed April 21st to 27th. He has received telegrams from Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the National Negro Business League, and from Mr. J. C. Napier, President, in which they give their unqualified assurance that they will help in every way possible to make the campaign a success. Dr. Moton has also received a communication from Mr. Allen W. Clark, Chairman of the National clean-up and Paint-up Bureau, St. Louis, Mo., in which he states that the three silver cups which were given last year for the most efficient clean-up work will be offered again this year. It may be recalled that last year, the three silver cups were awarded to Atlanta, Georgia, Salisbury, North Carolina, and New Madrid, Missouri, and were presented to representatives from these states at Chattanooga. Tennessee, during the annual meeting of the League. It is hoped that members of the race will again welcome the opportunity to unite their efforts in one great and National Health Movement, and thus gain the benefit of the momentum and enthusiasm that will come from another effort of this character. As the late Dr. Booker T. Washington said in the 1915 call, "Without health, and until we reduce the death-rate, will be impossible for us to have progress in business. In property getting, in requiring education, or to show other evidences of progress. Without health and long life all else fails. We must reduce our high death-rate, dethrone disease, and enthrone Death to Rheumatism Japanese Antibiotics is the reason of Rheumatism the health remedy the world has ever known.

It is urged that communities planning to hold Health Week Campaigns will notify the Secretary of the League and also write to Mr. Allen W. Clark, Chairman of the National Clean-up and Paint-up Campaign, Building, St. Louis, Mo. He will glad to send such printed matter as is issued by his Bureau. A little later, pamphlet entitled, "The Conservation of Negro Health," will be issued from the Tuskegee Institute. J. C. Napier, President, National Negro Business League, Nashville, Tenn. R. R. Moton, Chairman, Executive Committee, National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. OBITUARY OF DR. H. T. KEALING, A. M. By Shelton French, Vice President of Western University. Hightower T. Kealing, A.M. D., M.D. LL. D., was born in Austin, Texas, April 1, 1859, and departed this life Feb. 25, 1918, aged 58 years, 10 months, 24 days. While a youth of fourteen years he was circuit rider with Presiding Fld. Fler Haywood, whose district constituted the whole state of Texas. He was secretary and recorded the events of all the quarterly conferences. After completing the work of the public schools of his native city, he graduated from Straight University at New Orleans, La., and still having an insatiable desire for more knowledge went to Tabor College. Tabor, Iowa, where he finished his collegiate course with great credit. He was ever especially a student of philosophy, science, languages, sociology and the Holy Bible. Thus he had thoroughly prepared himself for a great career. His achievements prove that a Negro can conjugate Greek words, master higher mathematics, and withal be a man among men. His first work after leaving college was to establish Paul Quinn College at Waco, Texas, and then he became vice president of the State Normal School at Prairie View, Texas. From there he became supervising principal of the colored schools of Austin, Texas, and later established and became principal of the Negro High School of the same city. Later he became president of Paul Quinn College at Waco, Texas. In 1896 the General Conference in session at Wilmington, N. C., elected him editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, which position he filled with credit to himself, the church and the race, most splendidly and acceptably. Here is where he so brilliantly wrote for his church, a profundity of information about the sacred by wide and careful reading, a keen analytical mind of philosophical pulse, and a complete mastery of forensic expression. In 1901 he was a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in London, England. He participated in the deliberations of this meeting and had an important part in all of its constructive policies. While abroad he visited throughout England, France and Switzerland. On October 1, 1910, at the call of Governor Stubbs of Kansas and on the recommendation of Booker T. Washington, Gish Grant and Dr. J. R. Ransom, he resigned the editorship of the Review to become president of Western University. November 1, 1910; he was inducted into this new position in the middle west. How well he succeeded is attested by the status of the school, the character and efficiency of its graduates and this multitude of faiths and learning friends of 1911, he became a member of the Jeanes Fund Board, taking the place of the lamented Bishon Grant. Dr. Kealing was distinctively an educator and a lover of aspiring youth. His life was characterized by simplicity, efficiency and quality. He placed character above achievement, and honesty of purpose above attainment. He was not a radical, but a practical reformer. As a thinker and publicist, he ranks not only among the foremost of his race, but among the ablest of his day. With ease he could hold, and lead, and sway his audiences. His will was spicy, ever quick at repartee, enjoyed a good story, and was most successful in telling a good story, telling it well and driving it home to its lorgical and moral conclusion. His last public utterance was delivered from this sacred rostrum, in a sitting posture to a large, magnificent audience on the afternoon of January 6, 1918, from the subject, "A Man Without Eyelids." It proved to be his "Swan Song." In closing that matchless address he told this apt, imitable story of a little boot-black who was over-awed by the brilliant. gaudy attire of the Nero dandy whose shoes he had just shined. The little gamin said, "Excuse me, Boss, but I want to ax you a question. Is you anybody in particularly?" And then, Dr. Kealing rising from his chair to his full stature made his last stirring public appeal of his life to his people, for them always to try to be "Somebody in particular." In a peroration that was as dramatic as it was inspiring and impressive, he told how easy and how important it is for everybody to be intelligent, industrious, frugal, patriotic, Christian citizens. Peace be to his ashes. He leaves a faithful, loving, devoted wife and five children, Goldie, Frances, Carolyn, Cecelia and Hightower J. Jr., and an innumerable host of admiring friends to mourn his departure. His life is carved in imperishable granite, and indelibly written on the hearts of men. Though gohe, he will never be forgotten. And children, yet to be born, will rise to call him blessed. Truly was he an ideal college president whose life is an inspirational monument to the youth who came under his tutelage, and, to all who were so fortunate as to be intimately associated with him. "There is no death! An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread; He bears our best loved ones away; And then we call them 'dead." "He leaves our hearts all desolate, He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers; Transplanted into bliss, they now Adorn immortal bowers. "The bird-like voice whose joyous tones Made glad these scenes of sin and strife; Sinks now an everlasting song Around the tree of life. And ever near us, though unseen The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life—there are no dead." DOINGS OF DAMON LODGE NO. 2 K. P., N. A., S. A., E., A. A. & A. The past month was the beginning of a new era with Damon Lodge K. of P. No. 2. A. W. Fite, J. B Batte, A. M. Cockrill, M. V. Buford and Bob Gee, the live wires of the lodge, put on foot a get-together meeting in which most of the members were present. After the lodge had dispatched its regular work, Chancellor Batte informed the lodge that Grand Chancellor J. P. Crawford wished to admit a visitor in the person of Prof. Haynes of Fisk University. The Professor was introduced to the members by Dr. J. P. Crawford. The Professor's address was highly appreciated and he was invited to call again. After the visitor left the order resumed its work, which was followed by refreshments. C. C. Batte, master of ceremonies, introduced Grand Trustee T. Ray Moore, and many Marks were instructive, pleasing and inspiring. Deputy Porter gave the lodge a short, spicy talk, also District Deputy Fite and the Grand Chancellor. Not only lodge work was discussed, but all present were urged to do their bit to aid and support our government in this particular crisis through which our country and others are passing and struggling to readjust the religious, moral and political standards. On the last meeting of this month Dr. C. O. Hunter, G. K. R. & S., with Dr. J. P. Crawford, talked Pythianism, its duty to its members, widows and orphans was freely discussed. All are working for and hoping this will be the banner year of this holiday. The collection for the month was more than $200. C. C. Batte and his able corps of officers are all smiles.

An appeal for funds for the education of the Negro population in the South was made from the pulpit of the Church of Ascension yesterday by the Rev. E. A. Baskerville, D. D. a Negro preacher and archdeacon for work among Negroes in the Episcopal diocese of South Carolina. In introducing the preacher, the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, vector of the congregation, the attention of the congregation to the fact that Dr. Baskerville was for years a soldier in the United States Army. Dr. Baskerville said $5,000 was needed at once to promote educational work among the illiterate Negroes of the South. "There are many places in South Carolina," he said, "where there is not a school for hundreds of miles, and in order to instruct the children of the Negroes a kind of building for that purpose. I believe the Negroes in the South are its greatest asset. "I am opposed to wholesale migration from the South. I think we should keep our people there by educating them. You can help us do that, for you have the money right here in New York. More than 2,000 children are reached through the mission schools." Dr. Grant in his sermon replied to a letter in a monthly magazine in which it was contended that the war had as yet failed to produce a stirring preacher who could interpret to the multitude in an inspiring manner the vital issues of the war. Dr. Grant asserted that the preacher was merely a part of the church, and that he work of the church in the war manifested itself not in "the denunciatory powers" of its clerky, but in the activities of the congregation itself in the Red Cross work, in the work and in the ministries on the part of the men and women of the congregations to throw all their energies and devotion into the task of winning the war. REAL GRIT KEEPS NEGRO AT FRONT. American Pugilist in French Army Has Finger "Chopped" Off So He Can Rejoin Legion. Paris, Feb. 28.—After having been taken out of the trenches because of his stiff index finger, and fearing that he would be invalid out of the war entirely, "Bob" Scanlon, the American Negro prize fighter, who has been in the French Foreign Legion for nearly three years, recently went to London and ordered the surgeon of a military hospital there to "chop" his finger off. The surgeon demurred. "Chop it, off." demanded Scanlon. Then, seeing the doubtful look in the Legion's eyes, Scanlon added quickly. "Oh, I'm no slacker. I don't want that finger off so I can't pull a trigger again. My middle finger's still good and they won't have me around with my fore-finger stiff. I can convince them I've used my middle finger from childhood and then they'll let me go back to the boys in the Legion." Scanlon was led into the operation room. He refused to take an anesthetic. He said: 'I've seen enough blood in this war, and some of it's been my own. I guess I can stand a little more of it. Get out your cleaver. We went out your cleaver without a grooming, the foreciner was cut off close to the knuckle.

Mr. OBrien in the Terre Haute Tribune of recent date, remarks on the loyalty of the theatre, and referred to Mr. Vernon Castle's as one of the long list of names distinguishable for patriotic service. The stage has have a great part in the war. More than 2,000 men from the American stage are paid in army camps in this country, and in the theatre of the British and French theatres have been even greater in three and one-half years of war. I might be pointed out, in this connection, that Captain Castle-Blythe was once a chorus man—and chorus men, so far as popular estimate is concerned have never enjoyed over much consideration. He was English, in course, and the English stage, like the French, has been—shall we say reputable—much longer than has the American. His sacrifice, like that of hundreds more, is in keeping with the traditions of his trade. It can hardly be questioned, indeed, that no business in the United States has behaved more generously than has the show business. It has been taxed heavily, of course, and has suffered the inconveniences and difficulties for its managers by heatless and lightless days, but these are minor matters. Its larger contributions have been along the lines of war relief—benefit performances without number, and without pay, in hundreds of playhouses, free shows in many army camps, the organization, gratis, of an adequate amusement system for the regular guard and national armies—and actor folk have given freely of their time, even as house managers have been called upon to who appealed for the Red Cross, for tobacco and athletic equipment, who would sell Liberty Bonds or Simile age books. The shortcomings of the American theatre in things artistic, or moral if you please, are many and easily realised. The fact that it seems pretty much beyond reproach, . . .

The proposed Dunbar Theatre to be erected in Philadelphia this summer, if handled properly will be a winner. There are enough of the race is the Quaker town to support two or three theatres. But will the new Dunbar have enough theatrical brains behind it to compete with the resourceful manager of the Standard Theatre? To talk show business and to run a theatre are two entirely different propositions. In the first place, the theatrical business is like any other business—a matter of supply and demand—in other words, you must give the people what they want. It live the Dunbar can and will do this, it will live The Drama as presented by the Lafayette Shock Company in New York will not pay in Philadelphia.

This is a world war, the world must finance it and the world must fight it, and whatever may be the final issue, the world must reap it; whether it be world democracy or world autocracy. It is up to America, England, France, Italy and a few lesser nations to say whether the final issue shall be Demo: and it is up to Germany and the Central powers to say whether it shall be autocracy. Neither of these contending forces are going to yield easily. They each have too much at stake. If the United States and her allies fall they do not only lose the principle of democracy, but they suffer the greatest humiliation that has ever been suffered by an aegregation of great nations since the organization of civil government. If Germany and her allied powers fail they do not only lose the principle of autocracy, but they bend in humiliation the proudest knee known to civilization. For the German autorat led on by the lordiest of all the world's self-centered egotist, backed up and supported by a military organization the most complete possibly in the world, will give up much 'am pious a s s h i l l . ' Let the Negro help mightily for Democracy. ORGAN NEWS The health of this community is very good at this writing. Mrs. William is able to be out again.

HAS THE WHITE MAN AN OBJECT IN MIND FOR HIS INHUMAN TREATMENT OF THE Wonder what the Southern white man, and as to that the white man in general, thinks about the Negro. It would be interesting to know his real mind as to that mind thinks about the Negro and his possibilities and his final actions in this country. It would be really interesting to know what thought of his about the Negro that causes him to lynch and burn him upon the least provocation and sometime heap upon him the most outrageous ravishing treatment for crimes and conduct that would be hardly considered if committed by a member of another race. It would be interesting to know why he flies to pieces and gathers up a hundred neighbors and sometimes five hundred and a thousand of his fellows, and takes a Negro from the law officers and burn him to death, gouge out his eyes with red hot irons, cut out his tongue and otherwise mutilate his body. It could not be his destestation of crime, for in lynching and burning he is committing a crime at which cannibals would shrink and hide their face. It could not be because he thought that the matter could not be sited in the courts for he has all the judges, all the jurors and all the law. There is a deep, very deep thought in his mind, when he gathers his men and women and boys and girls upon the public thoroughfares and there chain a human being to an immovable object and there subject him to the most excurciating torture that the human mind can invent and then send home by his children parched toes and fingers to be kept as souvenirs and to be regarded by them as precious heirloom. The editor of the People's Defender believes that there is one great controlling thought in his mind and that is to overweave the race and keep the race in what he calls the Negro's place. A place designated and de Make up your mind to throw off the shack- les that have held you back in life a race for the share of prosperity and happiness that rightfully belongs to you.

Nelson, president of Compton Ave., St. Louis, Mo. by Order to Eloso College termined and limited and fixed for the Negro by the white man. But this over aweing process, like Kukulxism must die of poisonous germs of its own breeding. If the purpose of the varied public exhibition of malicious might over right be to check the Negro in his development and growth as a world citizen it must fail. The Negro with patient endurance is helping to fight the battles of democracy. But he is thinking, thinking deeply of the outrages heaped upon him by some of his neighbors at home and as such treated in silence by the government he is so faithfully and willingly serving. If the lynchers think that their conduct will overweave the race into serfdom they are mistaken. Their burnings and tortures are simply wounds, simply winds that will come back to the nation in whirlwinds. Like Banquo's Ghost, the Negro will not down but is steadily forming a factor that must sooner or later be reckoned with upon a manly baose. SECOND ANNUAL ADDRESS OF BRO. W. R. REED, TEACHER ADVANCE CLASS MT. ARARAT BAPTIST CHURCH. Jacksonville, Ark., Jan. 19, 1918. Brother superintendent and members of the M. Ararat Baptist Church and dear workers of this school: bers of the Mt. Ararat Baptist Church and dear workers of this school: The day and hour has come when I am to deliver to you in this grand august body, my second annual address and report as your first class teacher of the Mount Ararat Baptist Sunday school church. It is a supreme pleasure to do this, but while we are thus pleased and while we are thankful to our heavenly Father for our spared lives and for the privileges of this day, standing on God's balcony today, looking about us, yonder we see millions in all parts of the world witnessing for Jesus. Some are preaching to the multitudes with a passion like those brethren of the holy past, others have left home and friends, others have救 Jesus and the resurrection of the dead to the heathen nations. Therefore dear school, it ought to be an hour of highest privilege and greatest joy to meet face to face on the holy Sabbath morning to recite these important lessons that we have been studying at home. It is a God granted privilege to us, when we can witness that men are hurled out into the battlefield to fight for these American countries that we may serve God under our own wife. The God under our own wife. It ought to be an hour of highest pleasure to serve the great God of the universe, of having the honor of passing from one year into another. Therefore dear school, I humbly thank you for the great honor that you all have bestowed upon me as your teacher, though I yet feel my insufficiency in making my class just what I feel it ought to be, though I did my best in trying to teach God's blessed word out of a pure heart and try to instill it in my close' minds to come to the Sunday school on time that we might reap the benefit of these important lessons. This I submit for your consideration. We wish to thank the many friends who came to us during the illness and going home of our dear little son with words of condolence and also for the many beautiful floral offerings at the funeral. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. McLemore.
