NEGRO LYNCHED AT LEXINGTON
NEGRO LYNCHED AT LEXINGTON
NEGRO LYNCHED IN COURTHOUSE YARD--MEMBERS OF MOR UNMASKED-BODY DISGRACEFULLY TREATED-MORE THAN 500 PEOPLE PRESENT
Nashville Banner.
Lexington, Tenn., April 23—Berry Noyse, the Negro charged with the murder of Sheriff W. H. Bride on Saturday night, was captured near Ederville Monday afternoon, brought to Lexington, hanged in the courthouse yard, and his body thrown on a pile of crosses and burned. The lynching of the Negro is consummated over the protests and appeals of Judge N. R. Bonham, who was here at home at the time the sheriff had and has been here since. Early in the afternoon Judge Bonham made a mob violence at the courthouse against mob violence.
the trial of the nigative Negro, which had been lost in Monday morning, was picked up on the afternoon near Wilderville, north Lexington by the Webb bloodhound from Madison county. Out on the Lexington Wilderville road the Negro had hailed a passing wagon and asked permission to ride, which was granted. He was in the wagon when an auto loaded with members of the pursuing posse have in sight. Noyse leaped from the wagon and dashed toward a swamp, being fired at as he fled. As former Sheriff H. D. Tate approached him, the Negro at him, and Tate fired two shots in his body. J. D. Franklin, another for her meriter, joined in the chase, and two shots were fired at him by Noyse Franklin wounded with a shotgun wounding the neck and body. While Franklin was hard after him, Noyse turned his pistol on him self, firing a bullet into his body. He was unconscious when seized by Franklin and members of the posse and bundled into an auto.
FLAG POLE SPARED
The party with the Negro reached Lexington at 5:45 o'clock and a large crowd of infuriated men took charge of the unconscious Negro. His body was deposited at the foot of the town market where the protest was entered against hanging. He was carried a short distance away and hanged on a telephone cable.
After the Negro had hung a short while, the body was cut down and carried to the scene of the Sheriff's murder, the Williams woman's house on the west of town. The dead body was placed in the house, riddled with bullets 400 bullets—and then thrown on a pile of crossties, which was soon in figures.
NO ONE MASKED
Five hundred or more people were on the square at the time of the lynching, no one being masked. There was no disorder there, and after the exciting incidents were over, the streets were so quiet that on one could have told anything out of the ordinary had happened.
When Noyse was seized a good Colt's pistol was found on him with 14 or 15 cartridges. He had a considerable sum of money and it is reported that he had hundred dollars on deposit in Paducah.
The Negro who was in the house at the time Sheriff McBride was killed has been carried to Jackson.
The killing of Sheriff McBride, for which Noyse was lynched occurred Saturday night at 7:30 o'clock. Noyse had been suspected of bringing liquor into Lexington from Paducah and following the arrival of the Peducah train Saturday night, Sheriff McBride and City Marshal J. W. Knowles followed the alleged bootlegger from the station to the house of a Negro woman named Illiams. The sheriff went to the rear door and Knowles to the front. The Negro opened the rear door, shot McBride through the heart and fled.
Sheriff McBride, who was serving an unexpired burglary but was unopposed for the office in the mustest election, was a good officer. He was known and had a family, his home being near Sardis. His remains were buried there Sunday afternoon.
A UNIQUE RECORD
The recent appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell by President Wilson to succeed himself on the Municipal Court Bench of the District of Columbia, and the confirmation of the nomination by the United States Senate last Thursday makes a rather unusual record. Judge Terdell is the senior member in point of service of the five members of the Court. He has served sixteen and a half years consecutively. He has been confirmed by the Senate five times. His appointments have come from men are mourn juju 'suupusu' asquil living. Roosevelt named him twice, Taft once, and Woodrow Wilson twice. He is the only Republican on the bench of the Municipal Court, but has the backing of the lawyers of the District almost to a man without regard to politics. During his career as a judge he has presided in many cases of great importance to the people of his community. His re-appointment meets the heartiest approval of all classes of citizens of the District of Columbia, among whom he has always maintained an unusual popularity.
DEATH OF JOHN COX
The death of John Cox, which occurred April 24th, at Hubbard Hospital takes one of the most faithful and reliable people in Nashville from us. He had been in the employ of Napier. Mr for about twenty-five years. All during that time he had been true to every confidence placed in him. He had been the porter and runner of the One Cent Saxings Bank from the first day of its existence, and in this capacity was always to be found at his post. His health had been falling for the past few months.

and although he could not do as had always been his custom to do, still he would stick to his post and it was by the hardest that he was persuaded to go to Hubbard Hospital for rest, in the hope that he might recover his brain. His loss will be felt at the Napier family for a long time, and it will be no easy thing to find one to take his place.
FELL FROM THIRD STORY WIN
DOW AND DIES.
Charleston, W. Va., April 23.—Sucumbing to injuries received when he fell from a third-story window of his apartments to the sidewalk below, Saturday night, Phil Waters, age 47, for 15 years assistant clerk of the supreme court of appeals, died last night at a local hospital.
Phillip Henry Waters, born at Leesburg, Va., August 22, 1870, was the best known man of his race in West Virginia and one of the best known in the county. He held public position continually since his appointment to a clerkship in 1897. Prior to that time he had served a librarian of the house of delegates.
He was a graduate of the University of Michigan, from which he received the degree of bachelor of laws in 1895. He was also a graduate of Morgan College and, previously a student at Howard.
Waters was the first Notary public of color to be appointed in the state and was several times clerk of the committee on finance and taxation on one of the other side of the legislature. He was active in politics from boyhood, and attended, always in an official capacity, every Republican national convention since that time. He also attended every state convention that year, serving as reding clerk in which capacity he had few equals.
His circle of acquaintances and friends was usually large. From these, colored as well as white all over the country, telegrams of condense are pouring into the city to the bereaved family, the immediate members of which are the widow, daughter, father, mother and two brothers
REV W S. ELLINGTON EDITORIAL SECRETARY OF NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD, AND PASTOR OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, EAST NASHVILLE VISITS CAMP STEWART AND CAMP HILL AT NEWPORT NEWS. VA.
Sunday, April 14th, Rev. W. S. Ellington occupied the pulpit of the First Baptist Church of Newport News, Va., at both services. By special request of the pastor, Rev. C. D. Henderson, B. D. Rev. Ellington preached the "Prodigial Son." Fourteen men made profession of faith at this service and three others took a stand for Christ at the night services.
At 3 o'clock p. m., Monday, Rev. Ellington was principal speaker in an open air meeting at Camp Hill. Thousands of the drafted men heard him gladly, cheering to the echo. Monday night, Rev. Ellington delivered a lecture at the First Baptist Church to the citizens of Newport News. His subject was "The Crying Need of the Hour." A quartette of singers from Hampton Institute, one of the most famous industrial schools in America, furnished the major part of the music.
Through the kindness of Mr. A. F. Williams, Secretary of Army F. A. M. C. Ellington News, Va., and Dr. Thomas, the new colored dean of the city and other friends, a large touring car and a chauffeur were employed that Rev. Ellington might visit places of interest in and about Newport News.
In company with five or six citizens of Newport News he visited Camp Stewart, Camp Hill, Hampton Institute, The Old Soldier's Home, Old Point Comfort, The Aviation Plant and the Ship Yard. Rev. Ellington says he found the drafted men in excellent spirits and for the most part, well clothed and fed. There is some complaint, however, about the way the soldier soldiers are housed at Camp Hill.
Rev. Ellington wa sloin in his praise of Mr. A. F. Williams, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A of Newport News. He says he is a most successful organizer and leader of men. Even the boys of Newport News love and obey him. He is an invaluable asset to the development and well being of the city.

FOUR WEEKS SESSION TO BE OPENED—ALL EAGER FOR OPENING—DATES ARE JUNE 24 TO JULY 22.
Before the announcement of the fact: the demand for such an opportunity was so strong and persistent, which, together with our desire and purpose to do something to meet the crying need of the hour, is the sum total of our apology for offering emancipation from the mental serfdom, which handicaps the Baptist ministry and laity of Tennessee.
EAGER FOR THE OPENING.
Criticism and pessimism seem to have routed by the energizing power of a larger vision and a determination to prepare for greater service in the Master's vineyard. "Study to show myself a workman that needeth not be ashamed," the slogan of the pastors and ministers whose call to service proceeded their complete preparation from a literary standpoint. Sunday school superintendents and teachers whose services have been marked with concession and deep devotion, but who now feel called

GREAT PATRIOTIC MEETING AT BIJOU
GREAT PATRIOTIC MEETING AT BIJOU
ROSCOE CONCKLING SIMMONS TO BE ORATOR—COMFORT COMMITTEE TO RAISE $2,000 MORE K. OF P. OF TENNESSEE TAKING LEAD.
On Sunday afternoon, May 5th at the Bijou theatre, the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias will hold a great Patriotic meeting presenting Roscoe Corkling Simmons, America's greatest Negro orator.
This meeting will be held in the interest of "The Colored Soldiers Comfort Committee." The purpose of this Committee is to raise funds for the comfort of our colored soldiers, here with you in France, and to aid those who are dependent upon them.
The Colored Soldiers Comfort Committee, is incorporated and is the only organization of its kind working exclusively for the comfort of Negro soldiers and those dependent upon them.
The Knights of Pyttias of Tennessee are taking the lead in this movement in Tennessee. This great organization has already subscribed $3000,00 to Librey Bonds, and is planning to subscribe for $2000 more in the near future, making a grand total of $5000 to Liberty Bonds.
Col. Simmons is an orator of rare ability and every where he appears thousands pour out to hear him.
The music will be furnished by a musician named W. Work, Jr. D. S. Caruthers, J. W. Work, Jr. and N. W. Ryder. This quartette will render selections including some of the most popular Jubilee songs
The meeting will begin promptly at 3 o'clock p. m. Dr. J. P. Crawford the Grand Chancellor of the Jurisdiction of Tennessee will preside. The Grand Lodge and Grand Court officers will be present together with the Juveniles in the city. All Lodges and Courts are invited to attend this great demonstration of Pythian Patrolism. The Committee urges all subordinate Lodges and Courts to see to it that a large audience be present to greet our distinguished speaker. A silver offering will be taken, every person is expected to give liberally to this cause, especially do we urge Pythians to give.
If you feel that Negro soldiers should have the little comforts that other soldiers have come to this meeting and do your bit.
upon by those same virtues to prepare to cope with the trained minds of the young people and children from our public schools, presidents and officers of our B. Y. P. U's, missionary workers, in fact, the Baptists generally are not asking about the teachers or instructors, but the main questions are, what will the school open? What will be the tuition? They are not even asking about a place to stay or a place to eat. This is a very encouraging sign.
Moderator T. A. Brown was in the city the other day, and he predicts that Rutherford County would be represented in large numbers. Moderator J. A. Evans can always be relied upon to see that his people get into every progressive move made by the Baptist moderator. J. C. Harding, the Baptist Sage, of Middle Tennessee, is up to the times, and all the ministers of his association are behind this move. Moderator P. D. Donisis with his host of great preachers and Christian workers and many others, tells us that we should prepare for an enrollment of three of four hundred.
INSTRUCTORS
No pains will be spared to have some of the very best instructors the demination affords. The opening time has been set for Monday, June 24, 1918. Just after the Sunday School Congress, we hope to have the presence and service of Prof. David Abner the distinguished secretary of the National Baptist Educational Board, Dr. H. L. Pally, editor of the Union-Review and others. For further information, watch The Nashville Globe, or write J. L. Harding, Secretary, Committee on Education.

THE PROGRESSIVE SCIENCE OF DENTISTRY
FORCEFUL ADDRESS AT MEHARRY—OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK—PRESIDENT HUBBARD COMMENDED—COURAGE OF NEGRO SOLDIERS LAUDED.
Master of Ceremonies, President Hubbard, Members of the Faculty, Fellow Class Mates, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen:
As the endurable sun speeds along its daily pathway, casting out its effulgent rays of implacable light, forming visions of golden 'palaces above the horizon, and as we swiftly pass the horizon, and the years, we feel the ever quickening influence in the grasping of and the dissemination of new ideas and discoveries
Just as the great Marconi searched the inner resources of nature for a confirmation of the belief that wireless telegraphy was a possibility, and the realization of his dreams when the first message was flashed across the elastic ether; just as the ambitious, venerable, never-tiring Thomas A. Edison ponders and cogitates over the mysteries of the forces of material things, solves the problem of cause and effect and produces a result beneficent to mankind and a marvel in this epoch-making twentieth cental astronomer is forever gazing in turry; just as the exacting, resourceful, and fierce mankind myriads of worlds, surmising the habitation of Mars, counting the moons of Jupiter, calculating the parabolic orbits of the periodic comets, watches Sirius, the Dog-Star as he rears his shaggy head above the barriers of the eastern horizon barking at the retreating heels of the mighty Orion—so it is with the true Dentist of host, who marks out the trackless ways of hitherto undiscovered things, by close observation keenness of perception and progressive ideals. He is continually sounding

the depths for hidden treasures that
might add to his profession and con-
tribute to the benefit of ever suffer-
ing humanity.
For years and years has the Medical Science been mystified as to the morbid manifestations of pathological disturbances, so baffling were these things that ignorance and superstition had attributed these conditions to the curses of the gods and the activities of evil spirits. To counteract these effects, the skins of frogs, the carcasses of lizards, the bodies of beetles were made into noxious concusions and drunk with wry faces, but with a steadfast belief that they would cure.
Then came the school of wise philosophers who preached the doctrine that all diseases were the results of blood disturbances, they had their day and passed on to the shady groves of oblivion. With the invention of the microscope and the sacrificing industry of Pasteur and Lister, the discovery of countless micro-organisms, which produce diseases, revolutionizing the methods of the profession, whereby the whole world became startled at these wonderful discoveries. The germ theory became accepted and a necessary factor in the etiology and the disorder in the various diseases. With the isolation of the germ and the discovery of specifies for the elimination of these death-dealing parasites science made great strides toward the realization of perpetual youth the fondest dream of the renounced Ponce De Leon. Scientific men had come, scientific men had gone but like Tennyson's "Brook" systemic disease had gone on forever.
The germ theory was sufficient for a while but newer and more baffling diseases began to appear. This alone was not complete for the successful treatment of these diseases and it remained for the modern, progressive, scientific Dentist to discover that these diseases were the result of the putrification and fermentation of organic matter carried to remote parts of the body by continuity and contiguity of tissue, blood and lymph Pymela and Septicemia received a newer import, endo-carditis, rheumatoid-arthritis, nephritis and pulmonary abscess a new etiology. With the aid of the X-ray and the microscope the medicine has discovered countless foci of infection in the mouth and jaws resultant from neglected teeth and unsanitary mouths. These foci of infection manifest themselves as acute and blind abscesses, and phagocidal pericentricitis. These foci of infection are found to contain pneumococci, typhoid bacillus, colon bacillus

MEETING TO BE HELD AT WASHINGTON, D. C.—CHURCHES, LODGES AND SOCIETIES REQUESTED TO SEND DELEGATES.
Headquarters of National Executive Secretary, of Organizer, of Treasurer, 34 Cornell, Boston, Mass.
urer, 34 Cornhill, Hill, Mass.
April 25, 1918—At meeting of National Board of Managers held at the Board of Managers, 34 Cornhill, Clayton Powell, 227 W. 136th St., New York City, the National Headquarters for President and Chairman of Board of Managers, at 34 Cornhill, Boston, is headquarters for Executive Secretary, Organizer and Treasurer, held April 6, 1918, it was voted to hold a Congress of Liberty Congress at Washington, D. C., from May 29 to June 2, 1918.
Mrs. Sarah J. Allen was made Cor. Secy., instead of Treasurer, and Rev. D. S. Klugh, D. D., formerly of New Haven, Conn., and recently come to Boston as pastor of the People's Baptist Church, was made Treasurer instead of Cor. Secretary. Maurice W. Spencer of Washington was requested to organize a local committee of arrangements, and the colored editions are invited to form the publicity committee. Every church, lodge, society and organization of the race is asked to send and finance a delegate. Also every town and city is urged to have a Community Liberty Committee to hold a general election of delegates on or before May 19 and 20, with a church or churches as the voting places, each bollot to cost a few cents, the money thus raised to be used to pay transportation for the delegates or delegate elected. The sole object of the Congress, which is not to be permanent, is to secure a guarantee from Congress of a restitution of equality of civil and political rights and the abolition of judicial political usabilities and discrimination, as for share of the world democracy for which our country is in war and for which we are so legally bound to offer our lives under the draft. Any and every Colored citizen is asked to further the sending of delegates and notify the Boston headquarters where Prof. A. W. Whaley is National Organizer, at once.
numerous spirochetes and diplococci and streptococci of many varieties. Each of these has a particular tissue affinity, yet all capable of transmutation, and various environments peculiar to the human body, be they pyogenic or non-pathogenic. With the destruction of these disease-producing centers, a newer epoch was passed in Dental Therapeutics. The recovery to normal health after the removal of these foci of infection has been nothing like marvelous, for truly the blind have been made to see, the deaf to hear, and the lame to leap for joy.
The oral cavity being moist, warm, and dark is a veritable incubator for the breeding and propagation of micro-organisms, a majority of these being infectious or contagious. Here we have the beginning of Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, Typhoid, Diphtheria, Scarltina and various other diseases common to the human family. The responsibility of an unclean mouth rests not only upon the individual but the community at large. It is the province of the progressive, scientific Dentist to correct these conditions, thereby rendering service to society.
Once upon a time Dentistry was regarded simply as a mechanical art, and its chief adventure in the surgical field consisted in the extraction of teeth, today the Dentist is resecting alveolar processes, excising the tongue, curetting the maxillary sinus, removing benign and malignant growth from the mouth and jaws, and by Orthodontic measures changing the very facial expression of man. The position of dentistry as a patient needing dental service, but thanks to the God-sent efficiency of nerve blocking. The fond dreams of pain was a great obstacle to a patient needing dental service, but thanks to the God-sent efficiency of nerve blocking. The fond dreams of painless Dentistry has become a cogent reality and dental operations are being performed without an tota of pain and a minimum amount of discomfort. Cocain and its toxic sequels has been superseded by the use of Novocain—Supranin, injections being made in the second and third branches of the Trigeminal Nerve either at or just after it emerges from the Gasserian Ganglion or by the necessary injection at the Infraorbital Foraman. This produces total anesthesia of the lips, jaws and cheeks the integument and mucous membranes of each. Painless Dentistry is no longer an irridescent dream.
Without the proper functioning of the masticatory apparatus, insalivation is not complete, ptyalin does not act on the carbohydrates of foods, when the stomach is reached gastric action is hampered, the proteolytic enzymes fall short of their duty and assimilation is curtailed with assimilation at a minimum, nourishment is withheld from the tissues, the vitality is lowered and man becomes an easy prey to the fivation of disease, hence the importance of these 32 organs of mastication and articulation—the human teeth.
Contrary to popular opinion Dentistry is not a destructive profession and its chief activity is not in removal. Dentistry is a restorative profession, putting into place substitutes for lost organs of mastication and restoring the power to speak correctly. Restoration is its greatest function, and the great Voltaire has said, "Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men by joint exertion of skill and humanity are above all the great of the earth,
they even partake of the divinity since to preserve and restore is almost as noble as to create."
President Hubbard: It is with a sense of veneration and tender regard that we linger over the memory of your splendid character, your unswerving devotion and your steadfast generosity in giving your life to such a noble cause. With the courage of an Alax, with the craft and diplomacy of an Odessyius and with a clear sighted vision of a Janus, viewing the present and future with its possessions, and with interest to Negro professional education, inspired by the vision which John saw, revealing a new heaven and a new earth, you have built a monument not merely of stone and mortar, but shaped and fashioned on the altar of men's hearts, who have sat at your feet and whose disciples to humanity they are. President Hubbard: You, with the tender companionship of your noble wife, have built well. Your name shall not go down to the tongless silence of the dreamless dust, but it shall ever be revered and honored by countless generations who shall come treading down the shining pathway of the future, keeping steps with the ever shirling sands of earth. With the pen of appreciation dipped in the flaming waters of enthusiasm, inspired by your glorious example, I would write upon the sta decked canopy of the etherical blue; George Whipple Hubbard, EXCEL SIOR.
My Dear Classmates: Let not the constant druggery of life, this daily plunge into exacting work care and responsibility deter you in your determination to rise to efficiency's heights, do not consider the pitty difficulties of life necessarily misfortunes, for they put stamina in a man of fibre and brings out all of the latent forces so long dormant. We are trained by the difficulties we encounter, developed by the wrestleth with chance in the arena of fate and finally we rise to our sublimest excellence in our struggles.
Let us not be like the son of the Plueocrat, the child of idleness, in him the faculties are indeed relaxed, unstrung, he follows no summons to the treadmill of labor. Having no worthy end in life, nothing to measure the days or years by terms of wisdom, service and influence, his highest aspiration consists in gratifying his ever coursing appetite, uninterrupted by the daily demands of his intestines, and when he finally dies of fatty degeneration the only legacy he can bequeath to the world will be an atom of dust.
We are not creatures but creators of circumstances, that ours is largely the master hand, the magic alchemy which changes malediction into benefi-gresses the hideous hog of poverty diction, which transforms stumbling blocks into stepping stones and transi- into an angel of light which guides us in the better way. Hard work at one thing is the only recipe for success in any field. The world today teaches concentration and speciali-zation, the "Jack-of-all-trades" is a relic of the shadowy past, his name is ichabod—away with him. Conditions are too complex for general use, but the sounded the length and breadth of the land, in yonder place mobilization camps and cantonnements are filled with men in khaki and olive drab, the turning wheel and noisy bellows are belching forth their fiery products to be turned into munitions for these men. Ships, those swift winged messengers of hope are moving across the heaving bosom of the restless sea bearing men and supplies to the blood-soaked battlefields of chaotic Europe. With these the Dental Surgeon has gone with others we shall go, not to do our bit, but to do our all. Newer and useful responsi-bilities will be placed upon our shoulders, the cry of the wounded and sickken will assail your ears. Your eyes will call out the ordeal and desolation, your hearts will bleed with compassion, but with nerves of steel and steady hands you will bear the responsibility of restoring shattered countenances and giving aid and succor to the helpless in No Man's Land.
We were there in former wars and came out with honor and distinguished our fathers will be with us. This time we go to make the world safe for Democracy. We are going in spite of discrimination and prejudice, we are going in spite of mob violence, we are going in spite of Jim Crowism, we have no bitterness, no hate is surging our breasts, even lengths of the hair in their skins, high heaven, our faith is steadfast our hearts beat true. It is our hope that out of this awful struggle a true Democracy will rear its altar giving out its shining hope and promise to the black man in America, a real Democracy that knows no creed nor color, a Democracy which has no geographical boundaries nor ethnological limitations, a Democracy which shall fold its protecting mantle about the shoulders of all men, regard the color of their skins, not lose up the rugged path out which may bruise our feet and tire our souls to let us press forward toward the surely rising sunlight of opportunity, ours the goal will be for
"There are no beaten paths to Glory's heights
There are no rules to compass great-ness known
Each for himself must cleave a path alone.
And perhaps his own way forward, in the light.
Smooth is the way to ease and calm delight.
And soft the road sloth chooseth for her own;
But he who craves the flower of life full blown
Must struggle upward in all his heights

PAYNE CHAPEL.
To the honor of the deceased Rev. L. James Johnson ex-pastor of Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, President of Turner Normal College Shelbyville, Tenn.
Whereas it has pleased the Almighty God to take from among us on the 11th day of April, 1918, one whom we have learned to love deeply from so short acquaintance, but his voice has been hushed by the cold hand of death to be heard no more in this land. It is appointed for man to die yet, as a mortal cannot help us lose the over loss of bonds ones as we go through the city of Nashville. We will miss him as we look over the assembly of the Tennessee Annual Conference. We will miss him, his family is lonely without him yet it is the hand of God and all things must submit to his will for it is only He that can shut a door and no one can open. Turner Normal will Miss him, you will not hear his voice any more. No more will you hear his foot-steps but he is only gone to the God that giveth and why should we mourn when the ransom returns home. Cease ye mourners, cease to languish over the graves of those you love. Pain and death and night and anguish enters not the heaven but our hearts are sad over the spirit that death hath more world at this solemn hour. Calmly say thy will be done.
Respectfully submitted from the Kings Daughters Board.

You Need a Real Scalp Food.
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 get a remedy of proven merit. Seebly'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 expert chemist, it is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft 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 Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a clearer, cleaner. Quinasap lathers very fine hair and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstrict or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his store and send us the price and we will mail them to you.

RELIGIOUS FERVOR ABUNDANT
Enthusiasm at the Sunday School Congress
Unsurpassed—Big Sunday Parade—Workers From all Sections Marching—Sunday School Brass Band—Boy Cadets.
There is held in store for the Sunday School Congress workers a veritable religious feast in the 11 o'clock sermon that is to be preached on Sunday. The minister who is to preach the sermon for the Congress this year is a man of the younger school, one young in thought but old in experience as a fervent gospel minister; old in the pastorate and a preacher of ability; and one calculated to stir up the thought and to give the religious fervor for the occasion.
MODEL SUNDAY SCHOOL AT
CONGRESS
Hundreds of well organized Sunday schools that have made enviable records for work accomplished could be improved if some representative of these different schools could spend one session at the Sunday School Congress in a Model Sunday School such as conducted each year at the Sunday School Congress if they could see how the classes are taught, if they knew how the pupils were managed, if they could come in touch with the teaching forces, if they could hear the inspiring music rendered, if they only knew the amount of mentality that is employed by Sunday school experts in making the Model Sunday School an occasion for learning about the Sunday school work they would come to Alexandria and become a student or teacher in this Model Sunday School. The entire session is devoted to the helpful instructions and all of the talent that is available at the meetings is put to work.
SPECIAL SPEAKERS FOR THE CONGRESS.
Oratory will flow as never before at the Sunday School Congress this year. From the opening day, June 12, until the closing, June 17, the workers in the Sunday School will be favored by hearing the best speakers on the literary platform in the United States. These speakers are to appear during the following occasions: On Metoka and Galeda night, a special address is to be made for the benefit of the Metokas and Galedas; on Boy Cadet night, eloquent utterances will be heard in the interest of the boy-man by tending to show what the boy is to our church life; on Sunday at 11 o'clock a pulpit song is to make the Neck Nymphs immortal and for which it is noted, will be heard as never before. The minister who is to grace the rostrum on that morning for the Congress sermon will, it is said, redeem the reputation of the younger minister; while the Congress address to be delivered at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday is to be a mastery piece.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS PARADE
At 2:30 on Sunday afternoon June 16, the annual Sunday School Congress parade will be pulled off. No feature of this Congress work is looked forward to with more joy and is hailed with greater delight than the coming of this parade. Participants in it go from the smallest Sunday School pupil in the Sunday School department to the most dignified and cultured minister in the pulpit. National and state officials are seen marching with their banners, caps and sashes. In the line we will be the minister with some indications of an increase of Congress officials, national officers, state officials, local workers and a host of Sunday School representatives and workers from throughout the country. There will be two brass bands, which are now designated as the Sunday School Congress bands and is in fact the second regimental band connected with the Congress and Boy Cadet Movement. These bands have made a specialty of playing for this Sunday School Congress parade. There will be the Cadets under the command of the Commanding General of the Boy Cadet Division of the United States with the official staff. The plan is to put about five thousand Sunday School workers in the streets of Alexandria, Sunday afternoon to carry out this religious demonstration.
SUNDAY SCHOOL, CONGRESS MASS MEETING
After the better part of the week has been spent in general sessions and departmental meetings; after Congress has been talked, walked, dreamed, surge, played and planned, then on Sunday afternoon, June 16, a special Sunday School Congress address will be delivered by a speaker of international fame. This occasion is one of the climaxes reached by the Sunday School forces, after a week's work, the like of which is not seen or even heard of during the year. The special address to be delivered this year is calculated to come up to the high standard of those that preceded it.

CONGRESS SONGS.
"Hail the Baptist Congress" will be Sung by Thousands. "On, On Metakas and Caledas." "Christian Soli- be Will, Heath." With Many Other Will be, Heath.
"On, On Metokas and Galedas" is the title of the Metoka and Galedas song that will be the watchword of these two organized classes in their meeting June 12-17, in connection with the Sunday School School Congress. The directors of these two classes with the secretaries and their assistants promise to elevate the Metoka and Galeda class work to such a position that it will be sung throughout the civilized world as the Sunday School School. The students of the people in the Sunday School, as a drawing card to the college boy and girl, who hitherto have found the Sunday; School an unattractive place. Special stress will be laid upon the use of the Metoka and Galeda Magazine. The paraphernula of this department, of the pin, the pennant, the arm-band, the cards the magazine and the spirit of the class will give the Metoka and Galeda representatives an opportunity to demonstrate what they are doing at home. Metoka and Galeda night has heretofore been one of the biggest nights at the Congress, and promises this year to be equally as attractive.
WILL FEATURE NEGRO MUSIC
Negro music will be featured exclusively at the Sunday School Congress. June 12,17, declared the national chorister who conducts the chorus that is expected to total six hundred voices. It is their plan to sing the songs written, arranged, set to music and printed exclusively by Negroes. Whether

these songs be the short and common meters; whether they are plantation or jubilee melodies or whether they are classics when the time comes for the Congress curtain to rise, the chorister is expected to have whipped into form one of the greatest aggregations of singers that has ever been prepared for a national gathering. Their rendition of "Zekiel the Wheel" has captivated them. The manner in which this wheel has rolled and the chorister's unique way of impressing it upon the singers has already stamped him indelibly upon the minds of the people as a master mind in training congregational singers. It was the music there would be an orchestra assisting him in the chorus, with a piano and pipe organ. When the Congress opens it is claimed the chorus will be divided in the various subdivisions during the afternoon of each day in order that each departmental meeting might have special music. This with the addition of two bands already secured, is claimed by the Congress secretary to be an advance not yet enjoyed by the Sunday School workers at these annual gatherings. It was said that the city will be given an opportunity to see just what progress has been made along this particular line when the pre-Sunday School Congress Literary and Musical Concert is presented, where the public will be given an opportunity to hear what Alexandra really has in the way of local talent, and what progress have been rounded into form in so short a time. The selections will vary from time to time lined out to the most difficult anthem that has ever been rendered in Alexandria. There will be a brass band, with an orchestra to give selections. There will be solos, duets, quartets, double quartets, and congregational singing. The music at the Congress this year, according to the best information obtained, will eclipse anything that has been put on.

cial calling. If you are a superintendent at home, you will naturally be interested in the problems that will come before the superintendents' department. If you teach the Intermediate or Primary classes at your home, you will naturally want to spend your afternoons in this particular department. If you are advanced teachers, the natural tendency would be to come in touch with the advanced teachers from other schools. Whether you be engaged in the Cradle Roll, Home Department, Boy Cadet, Sunday School Mission, Girl Cadet, School Work, you will find at the Congress that after the general sessions have adjourned for noun from 2:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon, there will be some department in session where you will have an opportunity not only to gather inspiration, but to throw off that pent-up energy that you have been accumulating all the year and where you yourself may demonstrate the many helpful things you have perhaps brought about invented or put into practice in your school. Give others the benefit of your experience that at the same time be benefited by the experience others will give, by attending the departmental meetings.
BRASS BANDS.
first time when it was almost impossible to have the right kind of music, the sufficient volume to do justice to the Sunday School Congress at a national movement. This problem, however, was solved when the Sunday School Congress movement succeeded in making permanent and a part of the national gatherings two brass bands, one of ten pieces and one of fourteen pieces. These bands are uniformed and especially well qualified as musicians to play practically every song that will be sung at the Congress. They have been the great force that created such favorable impression in the rendition of these sacred songs through their sessions and that have been conspicuous in the mammoth street parade on Sunday afternoon. Hear the Congress brass bands at the Sunday School Congress.
B. Y. P. U. DEPARTMENT AT CONGRESS
A longfelt want was supplied when it was announced that the B. Y. P. U. Societies would have a department in the coming Congress. B. Y. P. U. organizations throughout the United States who send representatives to the Alexandra session of the Congress will have the advantage of all the instructions in the B. Y. P. U. work that can be given out by practical experts and B. Y. P. U. workers. Every department of the B. Y. P. U. will be carefully gone into. The Christian Culture Course, the Reading Course, the devotions, the literature, the missionary feature, in fact B. Y. P. U.'s as they ought to be conducted will be demonstrated.
SOCIOLICAL AND INDUSTRIAL
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
The newest department in the Congress work is that of the Sociological and Applied - Industrial Education. While the theme has not been new the department this year under this head will be under the direction of trained college professors who have made a practical study in this particular line of intellectual uplift. At the session of the Congress in the spring of 2014 delivered along the lines of sociology and the discussions on the subjects listed stirred the meeting beyond expectation. Addresses were made, subjects discussed and ideas brought out on sociology that were instructive from the very beginning and which heaped materially every attendant at the meeting.
SINGING ORGANIZATIONS AT THE CONGRESS
A Chorus of 600 Voices to Furnish Music at the Congress. Texas Quartette and Shreveport Singing Club.
Supporting the regular musical feature of the Sunday School Congress will be several independent singing organizations. Notice has been given to the secretary of the Sunday School Congress that a Glee Club of about eighteen members from Shreveport, La., would grace the Congress with its presence this year. Then there is to be a special quartet out of Texas, coming from Houston, that is making a specialty of Sunday School Congress work. In addition to this the Juvenile Congress Choir will make its initial appearance. Thus the singing this year will excel any attempt of former years.
TEXAS QUARTET COMING TO
ALEXANDRIA.
Another singing club has notified the Sunday School Congress Secretary that it was their purpose to attend the Sunday School Congress and to serve in every possible way. Prof. G. W. Williams of Houston, Tex. with H. W. Williams of H. Y. McCowan compose the quartet. They declare this quartet has prepared itself to render service by singing the very best religious song—songs found in the
ORIGIN OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS.
MEMORIES Of Fifty Years Recalled.
THE appearance of the National Jubilee Melodies a new song book containing all the old jubilee and plantation songs to music, is creating the widest kind of comment in every section of the United States. This is attested to by hundred of letters that have been received since the song book appeared and since it so successfully used throughout the session of the great National Bastist Convention which just closed its meeting. A sample of what the people say will be of interest:
"I have examined the National Jubilee Melodies and found some old treasures that I would not like to part with, a fragment of the times and verses that I have been carried in my brain and memory since I was a toy for ye rysing, but this is the book that I have been receiving from the great National Bastist Convention, speaking that one heids in the box are but a grim evidence of its originality. We would not have then otherwise, as this would rob the work of its identity, and it is my desire to get a work as possible spoken in the peculiar manner of the old time ante-baum men and women that laid the foundation for our race on which we are building beautifully. I think that their peculiar style should be preserved and handed down to posterity."
The price of the National Ju lae Melodies song book with all of these old time songs, is 30c per copy by n all, postage paid, or $3 60 per dozen, express charges not paid.

In addition to the quartet there will be a club from Shreveport consisting of eighteen members and the Alexandraia organization made up of workers from the various Sunday schools there. This will be three singing organizations which will augment the chorus of two hundred voices, the chorus will be made up entirely of Alexandraia singers under leadership of Prof. Johnson, the Sunday School Congress chorus director from Nashville, Teen.

WHEN AND WHERE THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL, CONGRESS HAS MET.
Thirteen years ago in June the first session of the Sunday School Congress was held. When the announcement went forth that the movement had been launched for the benefit of the Sunday school forces and the B. Y. P. U. workers. It was hailed with joy and delight. Strong editorials by the leading denominational editors appeared in papers throughout the country. Secular journals declared it was beyond measure the proper time and that the meeting was calculated to do what "no other had done. It would, in other words, be the little leaven in the leaf. So in June 1906, the movement was launched at Nashville, Teen. In 1907 it met in New Orleans, in 1908 in Jacksonville Fla.; in 1909 at Nashville, Teen.; in 1910, Atlanta, Ca.; 1911, Meridian Miss.; 1912, Tuskegee, Ala.; 1913, Muskegue, Okla.; 1914, Beaumont Tex.; in 1915, Birningham, Ala.; in 1916, Vicksburg, Miss.; 1917, in Nashville, Teen. This year in Alexandria La.
E SUNDAY
OL CONGRESS.
Commanding-General W. H. Crawford of the National A. F. Cadet Movement and his general staff have issued a general order for the Fifth Annual Encompassment of the National A. F. Cadets to be held at Alexandria, La., in connection with the thirteenth annual session of the Sunday School Congress, June 12-17. Representatives of the Boy Cadet movement in every section of the United States are expected to be in attendance. Some Sunday Schools will send an entire company Perhaps several battalion bands will be in attendance. Boys in uniform will be seen each day and the spirited military discipline under religious influence will be injected into them as never before. Nothing has proven so beneficial to the forward Sunday School movement as the Boy Cadet movement, which is a part of the Sunday School Congress. Each Sunday School may have as many companies as they feel able to support. A book of tactics with the bugle calls and other information can be obtained from the National Baptist Publishing Board. In fact, how to organize a company of Cadets is told in a very simple way in this book, which sells for ten cents.
CRADLE ROLL AND INFANT DEPARTMENT AT CONGRESS.
"Where are the children and what are they doing?" is a problem that this department is taking up, taking the child as soon as it is given a name and keeping up with that child until it is able to be turned over to primary department of the Sunday School. The work of the Cradle Roll and Infant Department, while new to some of the Baptist schools, has become so important that special superintendents of this work have been designated in many schools. At the Congress this year one competent, one well trained, assisted by those who have had actual experience will tell how to conduct the Cradle Roll and Infant Department in the various schools.

Governor, you as governor and th:
few law-abiding people of Lexington,
may not have been able to prevent
the work of that mob, but it is said
that no masks were used by any one.
Certainly then, some members of the
mob could easily be identified. We.
the Negro people of the state, wil
wateh with mueh interest, the action
of the governor of that state in this
matter, and God grant that you may
jbo guided by the couneil of Him whe
said in His inspired words, “Right:
Jeousness exalteth a Nation, but sin
Vis a reproach to any people.”

A TRIP WEST WAS AVOIDED
Mrs. Staples Took Lung-Vita Upon Advice of Her Sister and Was Cured.
Mrs. Staples Took Lung-Vita Upon Advice of Her Sister and W was Cured. "Three years ago I was in very bad health. I had had a troublesome cough for a number of years and my physician advised me to go West," says Mrs. John L. Stapler of Larkinsville, Ala. "I wrote my sister about my condition. She immediately sent me a bottle (small size) of Lung-Vita, urging me to give it a trial. By the time I had finished taking the bottle I was beginning to feel like a new woman, my cough was almost entirely gone. I then ordered a large bottle and when I had taken it I was feeling well, and no cough at all, that did not get any more. I went through the four winters splendidly, something I had not done for years. The first week in December contracted a severe cold and my bronchial tubes were terribly affected, talk, and coughed badly. I dragged along this way for a week or more then ordered a bottle of Lung-Vita (which had I done in the beginning would have saved me much suffering). I am now feeling well, with my voice as strong and clear as usual and cough almost entirely gone.
"I cannot say enough in praise of Lung-Vita. I only wish every one suffering from bronchial or lung trouble would give it a trial. I think it the grandest medicine in the world and a God-send to humanity." Lung-Vita is sold by druggists and dealers. (Adv.)

The ParentTeachers' Association met Thursday, April 18th, at school. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Dobson. After devotional exercises Miss Haygood, the supervisor, was introduced to the parents by Miss Johnson. Although Miss Haygood was not a stranger she at one time taught here. She made a very interesting talk. She the investigating committee made their report. She reported having found the homes a good condition. We are having quite a success with our association. Mrs. Jessie Johnson, Mrs. Anita Brown, and Mr. Frierson are on the sick list. This cool weather has put quite a check to the progress of the farmer and quite a number of the sick list. The B. O.

OUT OF TOWN NOTES
ROCKWOOD
G. W. Townsend, a fruit grower in Valley, Ga, a recent kelpier, by
visitor here.
Rev. R. H. Hill of Lexington, Ky., spent a day here this week visiting his mother-in-law, Mrs. Hiram McKamey. Rev. Hill was formerly the pastor of the First Baptist Church here. Prof. B. J. Campbell was a recent visitor to Harriman. The rally of the church last Sunday was successful in every way, the pastor, Rev. Hutchinson, when seen Monday, stated that his expectations had been realized. We are pleased to note that the church of the city have taken on new life and are doing real constructive work. Rev. Erwin and his people of the Zion Church are making things come to pass as never before; and the First Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. W. B. Ward is doing a great work. Mesdames Alberta Kerley, Dora Thomas, Maggie Davis, Elzie Church, Mattie J. Eskridge and Mr. Robert Hembree are numbered among the sick. Dr. A. D. Hurt and the Sunday here are guest of the First Baptist Church. He delivered three strong messages to crowded houses, and delivered the anniversary address at the pastor's reception Monday evening. At the close of the address the members presented the pastor with a suit and hat as a token of appreciation for service rendered. An excellent program was rendered by the members of the mission and delicious refreshments were served. Collection, $60 the pastor, Rev. W. B. Ward, made the closing remarks. Last Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs William Eskridge a "Sunshine Band" was organized with the following of peers: Miss Helen Hembree, president of the Sunday here; Miss Jacola House corresponding secretary; Miss Lillian Eskridge, recording secretary, and Miss Marie McKinney, treasurer Mrs. Alice Stegall was chosen as sup intendent. This band will serve as a junior missionary society and is another auxiliary added to the Bap tist church. Prof. B. J. Campbell has announced to the students of the high school that Prof. W. J. Hale president of the State Normal School Nashville, will deliver the annual adress to the graduating class on May 17th. The remains of W. M. Eskridge, who died in Knoxville last Thursday morning, arrived here Friday at noon and the funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon with the pastor in charge. Brother Eskridge had served on the deacon board for the past ten years and was also trustee of the property. Mr. and Mrs. Will Clark of Chattanooga are visiting Mr. Clark's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Clark. Mr. Clark will leave for Camp Meade next week. Mesdames Willie Roberts, James, Glibreath Lula Gallaler and little Hazel Eskridge motored to Kingston last Thursday. The Women's Home Missionary Society of the Baptist church held an excellent meeting at the home of the president, Mrs. John Blue, Monday afternoon. The study of the lesson was taken up two times, hererkill talks were made referring to the work of the mission. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Eskridge. Rev. W. B. Gibbs is conducting a series of meetings at the Zion Church this week. Rev. A. J. Hutchinson, pastor of the M. E. Church, is spending the week with home folks in Dayton. Mrs. Henry Berlerson spent Monday in Spring City on business. Mrs. Fred Franklin of Dayton is visiting in the city the guest of her mother, Mrs.莉莉 Parish. James Bange left for Birmingham, Ala., Monday afternoon to be at the bedside of his father, who is critically ill.
CAMDEN.
We arrived here from Fayetteville, Tennessee, April 17th and enjoyed very strengthening meeting at the C. M. E. Church the following Sunday, at which place we were introduced by the pastor to make a talk for the Nashville Globe. We only spoke on the same line as we did over at the Baptist church a few Sundays ago. The same were in the Globe of Mar 29th on Page 6, trying to get the people to see the inspiration our children could get from reading of the great men and women of the race in colored newspapers. We will repeat it again in our traveling around among our people, which is very frequent. We find that they support they are not able to make our papers, not even one. We tried to talk on the line of colored enterprise. Mr. Annie Donlow, the mother of Mr. I. H. Donlow, our assistant agent at this place, who says he will do what he can in the Globe, is visiting her daughter in Paducah, M. Miss Ida M. Jennings will be in this city the 27th en route to Jackson, Tenn. The pastor of the C. M. E. Church was at his post last week. His sermons were strengthening and encouraging. We regret that his name slipped our memory. A call from Uncle Sam came to Camden last week for the prairie men and the have been particularly busy. Apr 26th so the ladies got busy to give the boys a grand time. The boys that were called were Mr. William Fisher, Mr. Ed Williams, Mr. Laden Sims, Mr. Willie Jennings, the brother of Miss Ida M. Jennings, our exteacher, whom we regard as a teacher of rare ability. She will visit Fayetteville soon. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Pate are visiting people this week. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Yorbor of Illinois are with his mother this week. They left Sunday for Nashville, visiting friends of that city. They will also visit Murreeshore before returning from Paducah, Ky., where they met her daughter, Mrs. Callie Tharp, Mrs. Josephine Mongeny just returned from Clinton, Ky., visiting her son, Robert. Mrs. Elen Eate is here from Charleston, S. C. Miss Nettie Tharp of Jackson, Tenn., is visiting her mother, Mrs. Ann Yorber Son Brothers show and big trained wild animals will be in town May 6 and report two performances, rain
or shine. Don't forget this last winter when it was bad, boys. Boys, save your money; the war is on. The employees of the N. C. & St. L. R. R. Company, west of Nashville, received another very nice increase of wages from April. We hope war will end but we are proud to believe it has made conditions better in many ways. The colored people seem to be doing well in this part of the country, owning land in town and in the country; and they are great church people, but they are not so religious as to be forgetful of acquaintance with the world's goods and wearing some clothes here on earth. As a whole, the Negroes of Benton County are a whirl behind the Negroes of any other county. I am proud to say the white people here are not so prejudiced that they overlook Negro education but rather do all they can to promote its welfare.
