L. to William Stanley Braithwaite Cambridge, Mass., the distinguished poet and literary critic, whose work is literary critic to the Boston Eve.

ASK PRESIDENT TO COUNTER
MAND GEN. BALLOU'S JIM-
CROW ORDER.
Boston, Mass., April 22, 1918. "Regarding it as the most non-democratic action since the world war began, the National Equal Rights League, which has branches in 22 states and will hold its 11th annual meeting in Chicago in August, protested to President Wilson by telegraph last night against the order of Major General Ballou, former commander of the separate officer training school for Colored, which order he sent to the White House three times when posted up at Camp Upton, and which order Colored soldiers to surrender civil rights at the behest of white race prejudice
Telegram Wants Order Countermanded.
The telegram reads as follows:
Boston, Mass., April 21, 1683:
To the President, Woodrow Wilson
White, House, Washington D. C.
White House, Washington, D. C.: The National Equal Rights League calls upon you to countermand Gen. Ballou's Bulletin No. 35 for 92nd Division, Camp Funston, Kansas, enjoining officers and soldiers to refrain from using force against their presence is resented because of Color. His dictum that asking public service is putting pleasure above the general good is not applied to white soldiers, destroys all civil rights, causes fresh discriminations, fosters race prejudice, humiliates our race, degrades the army uniform.
No order so vicious or undemocratic has been issued in any armies fighting Germany. Protect American soldiers in democracy at home before sending them abroad in Democracy's War.

NASHVILLE NEGRO COMPANY NOW IN FRANCE
Organization Formerly Known As
Compang G Is Now A Part Of
The 92nd Division.
CAPT. C. O. HADLEY COMMANDER
Good Record Preceeds Company-
Complimented by Governor.
Nashville Negro military organization, formerly known as Company G (unattached) and which was mustered into Federal service at the time all state guard troops were taken in, is now in France. An official notice from Washington was received Tuesday stating that the colored boys had arrived safely overseas.
The company, including its captain, two lieutenants, noncommissioned officers and nearly every enlisted man is a Nashville boy and the relative of every individual member are residents of this city. The company is now a part of the 92nd Division. The name of the organization has also been changed to Company K, 387th Infantry.
The Negro company went from Nashville to Memphis and did splendid service in that city guarding the bodyguard across the river.
Gov. Tom C. Rye and all of the state officials had watched the record which the colored boys had made as a military organization and were pleased to speak in complimentary terms of them upon various occasions.
When the Negro soldiers were ordered away upon duty their good record had preceded them and where ever they have gone they have been well treated and became popular with the citizens, both white and colored. The company went to one of the Southern camps from Memphis, and from there they were sent to Newport News, Va., where they assisted in guarding the water front. The Nashville colored company, long before leaving the city was known for its all-round efficiency, having been well drilled and disciplined and had won special praise for the orderly deportment of its members.
The commanding officer of the organization is Capt. Chas. O. Haddley, who was born and reared in Nashville. He was educated in the colored schools of Nashville and is a graduate of both Fisk University and Mehary Medical College. At the time war was declared against Germany, in addition to having been Capt. Capp. G. was one the most successful practicing physicians of his race, as well as having been a valued member of the faculty of the Mehary Medical College—Tennessee and American.
SUCCESSEUL CAMPAIGN.
Columbus, Ohio, April 30—The Spring Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. completed a successful campaign for 500 members, which was the goal set, but was exceeded by 145, making 645 in all. John W. Jackson, captain of team No. 2, captured the coveted prize of a ring indicative of his faithful work, which was presented by Dr. W. A. Method, Chairman of the Board of Managers. John J. Bowles' team was defeated by Mr. Jackson by only three points.
Other members worked nobly to make the grand success, that was made. This gives the Spring Street Branch a total of 730 members, the greatest in its history. The people of Columbus responded nobly to the cause, realizing the great need of the kind of work done by the Spring Street "Y."
Dr. W. J. Woodlin, one of Columbus best physicians regardless of color, was chairman of the Campaign Committee. He showed the same farsightedness and ability in this campaign as was evidenced in his past works with the Spring Street Y. M. C. A. He organized his workers into ten teams each having a captain in charge, each team rivaling its nearest competitor in a friendly but drastic manner. Hearty co-operation was shown by all reflecting the spirit of brotherhood. Enthusiasm burned in the breast of every worker. Several speakers at the Central Y. M. C. A. (white) were present at several of the meetings, who spoke with keen sincerity and interest concerning the real meaning of the work done in the Campaign.
Nimrod B. Allen, Executive Secretary of the Spring Street "Y", is being laureled with honors, for the personality and punch he has injected in the work since taking charge about two years ago. It is due to his untiring and zealous efforts that he is able to command and organize as he has.
"The Columbus "Y" is a real factor and is handling contemporary problems manfully."
The Spring Street Branch "Y" is doing and has done more than any organization in Columbus to advance the cause of these were the testimonies of the white speakers at one of the Campaign meetings.
The new $15,000 building now under construction will be ready for occupancy by September. It will offer every advantage of a modern Y. M. C. A.
the various training camps and sent to Tuskegee on May 15th, and for two months these men will do most intensive work in such trades as auto mechanics, carpentry, blacksmithing, etc. This group will be followed by another group until, during the six months following, approximately 1,200 men will have been trained.
JUDGE HARRISON OF OKLA. INVADES ARKANSAS
On Southern Tour for Liberty Bonds
And Thrift Stamps. Citizens'
Subscribe.
VA., FLA., ALA., GA., LA., VISITED
Madison And Ather Arkansas Cities
Give Enthusiastic Audiences.
Judge Harrison of Oklahoma, en route home, after a Liberty Bond and Thrift Stamp tour through Virginia, the Carolinas. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee, stopped at Madison, Ark. in response to urgent requests of the citizens of that town. Judge Harrison's itinerary ended in Alabama, but the people wanted his eloquent appeals to the patriotism of his race and were determined to hear him in Madison. The enunciations of the people clerked in Madison to President Wilson made no mistake in selecting Mr. Harrison for this important duty. Right here it should be said to the credit of Mr. Wilson that so far as the writer knows, the men of our race selected by President Wilson for public service have not been surpassed in real worth and ability, if equalled, by any president of this country. William Harrison, Emmett J. Scott in civil life on down the line through almost 100 cleanliness, clear-eyed commissions and warrants by 100,000 black-skinned warrants by the banks over there and going over there will help make a place in the sun for world democracy.
Judge Harrison delivered addresses at Madison, Forrest City, Colt and Wynne. At each of these places the auditoriums were full to overflowing, more white people have attended these meetings than any that have come under the writer's notice in this state. Further still, so fair, and forceful have been the eloquent expresses of Judy Harrison that both races trust him praise his appeals to patriotism. His address at Wynne on Sunday night was so well received that the white people wanted him to speak in the court house Tuesday.
LOOK OUT FOR THE FAUD.
Tuskegee Institute, Ala., May 1. Information reaches us that a man posing as a representative of the local rural School. Building Fund has been haunted throughout the state of Arkansas and claiming that if Twenty-five ($25) Dollars is paid to him he can secure any amount from the Rosenwald Fund for building school-houses.
This statement is a warning to all interested in building rural school-houses through the aid of the Rosenwald Fund, that any person who seeks payment to influence the Rosenwald contribution is a fraud, and should be instantly reported to the local police authorities and a report sent to Tuskegee Institute. The State Supervisors of rural school work among the colored people are as follows: Mr. James L. Sibley, Montgomery, Ma. L. A. Benson, Little Rock, Ark; Mr. George Lillett, Ga.; Mr. Leo M. Favot, Bacon Rouge, La.; Mr. Bura Hilton, Jackson, Miss; Mr. F. C. Button, Frankfort, Ky.; Mr. J. Walter Huffington, Md.; Mr. N. C. Newbold, Raleigh, N.C.; Mr. J. Bhrannon, Columbia, S.C.; Mr. S. L. Smith, Nashville, Tenn.; and Mr. Arthur D. Wright, Richmond, Va.
Any person operating the above named states in the interest of the Rosenwald Fund should be duly authorized either from Tuskegee Institute or by one of the supervisors named whose aid and co-operation should be sought when communities seek the Rosenwald aid. It is hoped that every effort will be made through co-operation to prevent such shields being inflicted on the pub.

ALL URGED TO SEND DELEGATES

Boston, Mass., April 29, 1918: (Special). At a meeting of the Board of Managers of the National Colored Liberty Conference held at Executive Hea quarters, 34 Cornhill, last week, the dateq for the National Colored Liberty Congress at Washington were changed to June 24 to 28, inclusive, with June 23 as Liberty Sunday Colored Liberty Conference of Columbia.

AFRICAN METHODIST MINISTERS
PROTEST AGAINST "BIRTH OF A
NATION"
The A. M. E. Ministers' Alliance of this city registered their protest against the production of the photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," last Tuesday morning at their regular weekly meeting by passing a resolution condemning the play and appointing a committee to draw up a statement and appeal to the city authority, requesting that the exhibition be suppressed, and not allowed to be shown in Nashville.
It is claimed by these ministers that a large number of colored people usually attend the shows given at the Vendome where the "Birth of a Nation" is advertised to be shown, and that it is impossible to put this stifle producing play on the screen before a mixed audience of white and colored people in the south, without stirring up feelings of bitterness on both sides. Speaking of the play, J. A. Jones, chairman of the committee said: "It has witnessed the play myself. It carries one back to Reconstruction days, the racial antipathy in the south was height. The picture is overdrawn like all the writings of Tom Dixon's are. Tom Dixon as a writer of fiction, seemed to have had two objects in view, namely, to humiliate the Negro and emenhazize Anglo-Saxon superiority, and to make money. If any Negro with the slightest degree of self respect or the least bit of race pride, can witness the "Birth of a Nation" without feeling deeply humiliated and at the same time exceptionally indignant, he is indeed a saint. I think the "Birth of a Nation" without being driven by the American stage, this playhouse, and that speedily. This is no time for stirring up race feeling among the citizens of America."
The committee appointed to wait upon the city authorities was Drs. J. A. Jones, W. G. Allen, J. H. Grant, I. H. Smith, A. L. Pinkston, and W. A. Anderson.
the Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., Secretary of the Negro Sunday School Congress and general superintendent of their forces in the United States, spoke in the afternoon before delegations for seventy Sunday schools at the First African Baptist Church, Third street, near Franklin. His subject was, "Front Line Sunday schools and How to Build Them."
The Rev. Boyd told the Negroes that he believed the war would be won by young men trained in military discipline and inspired by the religious spirit they gained in the Sunday school. He advocated the Boy Cadet movement and schools which combined military discipline with religious training.
Rev. J. A. Granderson presided The meeting was held under the auspices of the Ministers' Alliance Leading organizers of the meeting are Rev. E. W. White, Rev. A. Hubbs, Rev. L. Burrill and J. W. Willard.—The Times Picayune, New Orleans, La.

D. D.
Mr. Hattie V. Nixon, president of the Ladies' Relief Club, acted as Missress of Ceremonies, and in befitting words introduced Dr. Jefferson, pastor of Saint John's A. M. E. Church, as the speaker of the hour. As the speaker came forward a silence like the stillness of death came over the house and the audience, white and colored seemed bent on catching every word.
Dr. Jefferson spoke as follows:
"Chairman, Brother Ministers, Fellow-citizens and Soldiers of the United States of America:
We have been called here to do honor to thirty-nine of the greatest men in Robertson County. They are great because uncomplainably and fearlessly they have come forward in and out to their country's call.
They are the men who came forth to make good President Wilson's answer to the Ger an war lords, who have challenged the world with their threat of "force," and in the spirit of true Americanism we shall answer by force.
"Soldiers, we came here to honor you, because your spirit of patriotism has predominated the spirit of distrust and prejudice which is a part of every human being who has met with the impediment which you have met with, and in answer to the call of this American government of which you are a part, you have said: "Here am I, send me, send me." We are now entering upon the most trying hour of our race life—an hour when the severest tests will be applied, and I am glad that we as a race can stand the test.
"I thank God that the Negro has had a representative in every war this nation has waged, and we will no less patriotic in this the greatest crisis the world has ever known. You are our representatives in this war of wars. You are going forth to fight the battles, and to us you are as great as was the English host on Wellington when returning from the little of Watery."
"In sending you forth to the camps and to the battle line in France we would have you know we are reposing all and our uttermost confidence in you. We believe you are the force which will bring the Kaiser to his knees, and plant the "Stars and Strips" upon the administration building in Berlin. Lest you forget I want to remind you that you are a part of a fighting race that has always been fierce and strong in battle, a race that has never faltered nor qualified in the time of this country's distress. We there fore ask that you honor and reflect credit upon the fathers by doing your duty, and in obedience to your commander, go forward; never retreat.
"You go forth to fight for your country, you go forth to fight for the protection of our women and children, and in doing so you must try to forget the differences here at home. David told his servant there was no time to fight mosquitoes when tigers and lions awaited. We are going out to get bigger game. We are going to capture a maddened lion which has been turned aloose on civilization, a lion crazed by his just for power, dominion and gold. You are going to fight—not to fight for the white man's country, but for your own country. I do not believe in a half way citizenship. This is your country, this is my country. I was born here and you were born here. And since we were born here and have lived here we have no other country to fight for or to die for. In the same language and in the same sense that Paul said, "I am a Roman," I say, I am an American citizen. America is my country—it is ours. We gave the first blood for the independence of this country, and there isn't anything that can wipe out this truth. Historians cannot write of the American Revolution without telling how Crispus Attucks bared his bronze breast to British bullets on Boston Commons, nor can they write of the brilliant achievements of Grant. Sherman, Sheridan Buell, Hallark, Lee or Jackson with out telling of the heroic stand of the "black philoxylx" at Milligan Bend Wagoner and Fort Pillow. They cannot speak of the rise and fall of kingdoms and nations without tell me how Rambla crossed the Alps to the city of Italy, or our Saint L'Overture, who forged a derbelt out of the sable sons of Hayt

NUMBER 27
Dr. W. S. Ellington Delivers A Burning Message At Newport News, Va. THE "PRODIGAL SON," SUBJECT
"The Crying Need Of The Hour" Was
Delivered Monday Evening.
Newport News, Va., April 22, 1918.
—To the Nashville Globe—We write just this line to speak of what we regard and what those who have lived in Newport News, Va., longer than we have, regard as the greatest of all occasions among the church-going people of this city. We refer to the recent visit of the First Baptist Church, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Nashville and Editorial Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, located in that city. Dr. Ellington had been invited to come to Newport News, the great ship-building city, to participate in the anniversary exercises of the Rev. C. D. Henderson, pastor of the First Baptist Church.
It is well to say that when this distinguished one arrived in this city he needed a program that was sufficient to keep him busy during his stay here.
After a brief word with the Sabbath school, touching on one's reputation, Dr. Ellington was escorted to the main auditorium of the church, where he was introduced by Secretary A. F. Williams to an audience of more than twelve hundred anxiously waiting to get a glimpse of the school with written their Sunday school literature for the past fifteen years.
By request he studied with his audience the "Prodigal Son." With so much force did he tell the story and in such clear terms, and so practical did he make the lesson that at his eleven o'clock service sixteen men arose, walked down the aisle of the church and took a stand for Christ. That is, sixteen men were converted. Dr. Ellington preached again at 8 o'clock to more than 1,500 people and then from as at a. At this service he studied with his audience the "Temptation of Christ." And there were three men converted. The people of this city regarded it as the greatest day ever witnessed and two of the ables sermons ever preached in this city
Mr. Puryear, formerly of Nashville, and Mr. James East, a leading business man of the city, put their big car at the disposal of Dr. S. A. Thomas and Secretary to camp Hill and see other ministers of interest on campus. So on Monday after driving around the city to see some of the churches, he was taken to the First Baptist Church, where he addressed the Baptist Ministers' Conference. From here a party of citizens accompanied the Doctor to Camp Hill, just north of the city, where more than 12,000 colored soldiers are stationed. Special orders had been issued by the Colonel at the request of Sam's family to assemble from 3 to 4 o'clock to hear the speaker. It was a beautiful afternoon and thousands of men in Uncle Sam's uniform greeted him and were inspired by the eloquent and forceful manner in which he admonished them. From here the party was driven to Hampon, Va., where the guest was shown through the Hampton Institute grounds and the Old Soldiers' Home grounds. The next visit was to Fortress Mountain, where a large view of several big battalions as they were steaming into port for the drill ground with their observation baloons flying many hundred feet above them.
The Nashvillian spoke on Monday night in the First Baptist Church to a full house on "The Crying Need of the Hour," and on Tuesday morning visited the city public school and the great ship yard, where fully fifty per cent of the eight thousand men who were in the town. The plea of this city were honored in his presence. He expressed himself as being well pleased with the trip here The Doctor left Tuesday at 12:05 for Nashville, Tenn.
LEADING COLORED CITIZENS GATHER AT THE MEMPHIS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND DISCUSS PLANS AND WAYS AND MEANS OF HELPING THEIR COUNTRY WIN THE WAR.
There was quite an enthusiastic gathering of 'Memphis' most representative Negroes in the Chamber of Commerce on last Tuesday to hear a message on war conditions and to devise ways and means to reach the people, that they may be thronged and aroused to the war and its needs.
The meeting was called at the instance of Miss Charl Williams, county superintendent, and attended by all the supervisors of the Negro schools and business men. Speeches were made by Mr. B. M. Roddy and Rev. W. T. Vernon, and also Mr. H. M. Cottrel and a committee was appointed which consisted of the following persons: Rev. M. T. Cooper, S. W. Broome, T. O. Fuller, J. W. Ribbons, Dr. M. V. Link, Rev. J. Q. Johnson, W. L. Petty, T. Y. Young, J. J. Totten, J. C. Campbell, P. W. Davis, R. B. Roberts, B. J. Perkins, Miss Iola Ellis, Helen Casey, Cora P. Taylcr, Rev. H. S. Peterson, J. B. Simmons, W. M. Jones and James E. Washington, to map out plans of cooperation to meet the war needs.

You Need a Real Scalp Feed.
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 clogged and lose faith in all hair tones and ticcies. What to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an export chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced restorated physician who 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 Quinasoap, Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oil, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasoap lathers and finely and humidly unseals 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 Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his or send us as the price and we will make it available. Seeby Drug Co. 79 East 130th street New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Ady.

COLORED PEOPLE OF LAUDER-
DALE COUNTY IN LINE FOR
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.
A meeting was held in the court house at Ripley Wednesday for the purpose of enlisting the colored people in the county in the third liberty loan. The meeting was well attended and much enthusiasm was shown as patriotism, and we look at a roll up, of $20,000 with a probable increase to $25,000 from this division. Following are the solicitors for the variso sirtdin','i, various districts in the county: First District, G. H. Lee, Albert Shaw and J. M. Morrow.
Second District, John McBride, Joe Dark and John Nelson.
Third—Peter Pinham, J. G. Fisher and J. L. Hannah.
Fourth—W. L. DeWault and Elbert Young.
Fifth—Gilbert and Joe Shimpkins.
Eighth—C. F. Hubbard, W. B. Patrick, Chas. Roundtree.
Ninth—Henry Jordan.
Tenth—W. S. Green, L. D. DeWault, and J. M. Young.
Eleventh—bob Arnold, Jarrett Nel son.
Twelfth—C. H. Mabins and Sandy Crocker, Sr.
Thirteenth—F. Meekes, Mose Byns and John Reed.
Fourteenth— James Eggleton,
Aaron Ford and Emma Jones.
Seventeenth—Will Wells, J. W. Lee with Mr. W. C. Thompson as organizer, and Prof. S. H. Johnson, principal of Ripley High School, secretary.
Mr. W. C. Thompson is an excellent white gentleman. If we only had more such white men in our county, O what a great change there would be for the betterment of our people! The best white people and the best colored people must get closer together and understand each other better if we wish to win this greatest of all wars. The worst Negro and the worst whites are together to owe and ruin and they are on the job day and night. So the best people must get busy and do our whole duty while we called day. The colored people of Durdale have subscribed very liberally to the third liberty loan and there is no room for any one in our lines to be called a slacker.
MR. BOB BELEPHANT DEAD
Columbia, Tenn., April 28, 1918.—Mr. Bob Belephant died April 17th after a lingering illness at the home of his sister, Mrs. Caroline Hawkins, at Oakwood, Tenn. He was surrounded by his wife, ten children, two sisters, four brothers and a host of friends to mourn their loss. His funeral was from the Primitive Baptist Church of which he was a faithful member.
RELIGIOUS FERVOR ABUNDANT
Enthusiasm at the Sunday School School
Counsel unsurpassed—Big Sunday
Parade—Workers From all Sections
Marching—Sunday School
Brass Band—Boy Cadets.
There is held in store for the Sunday
School School 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.
A female teacher will attend of
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 actual observation of the students, if 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 future church life; on Sunday at 11 o'clock a pupil orator will be heard for the gospel nails; will be heard as never before. The minister who is to graze 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 masterly 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 halled 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 with their banners, caps, pennants, in the midst of the crowd. Will the number 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 speciality of playing for this Sunday School Congress parade. There will be the Boy Cadets in the command of Commodore General of the Boy Cadet Movement of the United States with his 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, sung, 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.

NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY MAY 3, 1918.
ARMY SCHOOL CONGRESS
CONGRESS SONGS.
"Hall the Baptist Congress" will be Sung by Thousands. "On, On Metokas and Caledas." "Christian Solkas and Caledas." With Many Other Be, will Be Heard.
"On, On Metokas and Galedas" is the title of the Metokas 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 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 civic school. The students will be builder, as a force that will keep 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 paraphernalia of this department, consisting 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 Saw 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 people as a master mind in training the singers. It was announced that there would be an orchestra assisted to perform on 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, to see how they have been rounded into form in a short a time. The selections will vary, the hymn lined out to the most difficult that has ever been rendered in Andrania. 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.
DEPARTMENTS OF
THE CONGRESS
Every Phase of Sunday School work will be Given Special Attention Through Departmental Meetings Each Afternoon.
Every worker in the Sunday School who attends the Sunday School Congress at Alexandria June 12, 17 will find in addition to the general sessions where all enjoy the games and the work, a department of the

clical 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, who will be engaged in the Cradle Roll, Home Department, Boy Cadet, Sunday School Missionary or any other Sunday School work, you will find at the Congress that after the general sessions have adjourned for noon 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 deserved meetings.
BRASS BANDS
time when it was almost impossible to have the right kind of music to inflict a 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 by the Congress. The part of the parade that was part of 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 Alexandria 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.
SOCIOLOGICAL 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 Jicksburg, the addresses that were delivered along with 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 ever attendant at the meeting.
SINGING ORGANIZATIONS AT THE GONGRESS
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, Tenn., will perform with 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

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, in creating the widest kind of comment in every section of the United States. This is attracted to be 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 Bast 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 time, and we see that I have carried in my brain and memory since I was a young for yea yea, but this is the first time I have ever seen them in print. In the book I find in the boe is the gin 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 near as possible spoken in the peculiar manner of the old time set-ante 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 drawn down it rosette."
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.

books published by the National Baptist Publishing Board. In addition to the quartet there will be a club from Shreveport consisting of eighteen members and the Alexandra 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, which chorus will be made up entirely of Alexandra singers under leadership of Prof. Johnson, the Sunday School Congress chorus director from Nashville, Tenn.

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. The movement 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 loaf. So in June 1906, the movement was launched at Nashville, Tenn. In 1907 it met in New Orleans, in 1908 in Jacksonville, Fla.; in 1909 at Nashville, Tenn.; in 1910, Atlanta, Ga.; in 1911, Meridian, Miss.; in 1912, Tuskegee, Ala.; in 1913, Beaumont, Tex.; in 1915, Birmingham, Ala.; in 1918, Vicksburg, Miss.; in 1917, in Nashville, Tenn. This year in Alexandria, La.

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 Encampment 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 exerting influence. 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 there are with the 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.

EXECUTIVE BOARD HOLDS IMPORTANT MEETING
The Executive Board of the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Tennessee held a most profitable and far-reaching meeting Friday, April 26th, at the Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church, Rev. A. W. Porter, pastor. He plans for the summer institute to be held in the National Baptist Theological and Training Seminary as submitted and recommended by Rev. J. L. Harding were approved. The following subjects will be taught: Bible history, grammar, theology, music, Christian doctrine, missionary and Sunday school teacher-training. In speaking of the school Rev. J. Harding said, "The Bible is the book that used as a standard of adjustment and teaches taught therein will be clarified and to by all the nations of the earth who are or will be affected by this
great war, whenever the question of peace gets a conscientious hearing. All international codes and covenants between men and nations have been disregarded or abrogated during these times because they have not been able to stand the test and storms of changing circumstances. The world is writing a new history. Many of the standard works of science are fast becoming obsolete. The time is not very far in the distant future when those that know a very little of the Bible will be looked upon as suspicious characters in the community. Governments will declare peace in the light of its teachings and the people of God must lead in declaring the eternal truths therein."

A. M. E. MISSIONARY BOARD MEETING.
New York City — "If there was ever a time that we should do real aggressive missionary work it is now," declared Dr. J. W. Rankin, Secretary of the Home and Foreign Missionary Department of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in his annual report made before the Board of Managers Wednesday, April 24, held in the headquarters, 61 Bible House. The Board was presided over by Bishop J. Albert Johnson, D. D., and associated with him were Bishops W. W. Beckett and I. N. Ross. The following members were present and took part in the meeting: Revs. R. J. Williams, of Philadelphia; E. H. Waller, Portsmouth, Va.; J. P. W. Waller, Richmond, Va.; N. C. Buren St. College, W. W.

NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MAY 3. 1918
Handy, Baltimore, Md., and S. G. Simmons, Charleston, S. C. Following the opening, and the introduction of visitors, Bishop Johnson delivered a short address and was followed by the report of Secretary J. W. Rankin, which was considered one of the greatest reports ever made to the Board by any secretary. Dr. Rankin has made a special study of the work of missions, for he has not only had reports from the mission, has visited the foreign work, and devoted much of his time in looking into the home work. He is considered authority on missionary work for the race, and has gotten out several books for the study of missions.
The foreign work of the church embraces South and West Africa, Hayti, South America, and all the West Indian Islands. While the work in the islands of the sea were holding their own, the secretary said that the inability to rebuild St. Paul Church at Port-au-Prince had been a drawback when he hoped wishing to mat in the near future. The collections for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1918, amounted to $6,583,868, and for the work the expenditures had been $2,822,666, leaving a balance of $3,566,39.
Bishop W. W. Beckett made a special appeal for the work in South Africa, while Bishop I. N. Ross told the special needs of Africa. The day that he was to open conference was the day that the German submarine and that the capital, Monrovia, and on that occasion there had been considerable suffering in West Africa. Special efforts will be made throughout the church to help the work.
Resolutions were adopted commending the efficient services of Dr. Rankin.
DR. J. Q. JOHNSON, PASTOR ST.
ANDREW A. M. E. CHURCH,
MEMPHIS, RAISES $1381.77
IN SEVEN WEEKS "DRIVE"
Memphis, Tenn., April 25—(Special to the Nashville Globe.)-Dr. Johnson has proven to be one of the most popular and successful pastors that St. Andrew's has had in several years. He was appointed by Bishop Lee last July to take charge of the church and congregation after the resignation of Rev. I. S. Lee. Dr. Johnson has been one of the successful pastors in the connection for the past 25 years. He has won his "spurs" in African Missionism and is a "tumber" for the bishop. The new General Conference would do well to enshrine the Rev. J. Q. Johnson with the role of a bishop, as he is a duty qualifier and has been truly tried, and is able to fill any position in the gift of the church and his people. He is a ripened scholar and writer, preacher and pastor.
Spring Rally at St. Andrew A. M. E. Church.
The spring rally at St. Andrew A. M. E. Church was a seven weeks' drive and resulted in the raising of $1,355.77. The list which appears in the Western World reporter this week is only a partial list and may contain some errors. The pastor and officers are thankful to the many
friends who helped in this effort to meet the payments on the bonded debt. Since last September, under the administration of Rev. J. Q. Johnson, this church has raised more than a $2,200 on the bonded indebtedness. The list follows: Ruth Circle, $105; White Rose, $105; J. Q. Johnson, $25; King Robinson, $705; Robert Bradshaw, $25; G.

PEEVED.
The country is informed that, as a result of introduction of the Brandegee resolution in the Senate, the President is disposed to explain in confidence to the senate foreign affairs committee his reasons for opposing a declaration of war against either Turkey or Bulgaria or both. And that, so far as can be judged, was exactly what the Brandegee resolution was intended to bring about.
The war resolution, it should be borne in mind, was introduced in the first place by Senator King, of Utah, a democrat. Senator Brandgee, of Connecticut, republican, merely presented a resolution calling for action on the King measure. The Brandgee resolution gave several senators, mostly republicans, an opportunity to state their willingness to vote for war. Also it permitted senators, republican and democratic, to make clear their resentment of the frequently indicated executive policy of ignoring the Senate. The real force back of the discussion was not so much partisan as bi-partisan. It was affronted senatorial dignity and sense of importance expressing itself.
Some of the republicans, no doubt, are willing to make capitol of the antagonism between the senators and the White House. In another sense, it is also probably true that the approach of selections is tending to loosen the hold of the administration on Congress an dto make easier the development of free talk. Senator Brandegee himself announced after a day of discussion, some of it sharp, that he had no intention of pressing his resolution, "believing the publicity given the question would cause the foreign relations committee to give it early consideration." Since Senator Brandegee is a member of that committee the chances are he spoke with warrant. The President evidently thinks so, for he has given the forest-talling word.
"I think the time has come," said Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, "when we should have information and have it direct."
And that expresses best of all the motive back of the demonstration.
It really appears from every standpoint as if the president ought to meet the Senate half way. It would be good patriotism and good politics, too. It is easy to enter into the feelings of senators who have been at least hither to prominent and who are treated as children incompetent either to give advice or be given information. If there is an element of justification for the President's lack of confidence in them, that does not change the situation particularly. Certainly he could find time to go through the motions of consultation now and then, and present at least the appearance of frankness. A little of that policy would mobilize the democratic senators, at any rate, and would take away from the republicans most of their leverage. Beside it would actually promote unity everywhere.
The Senate doesn't now especially want war on Bulgaria and Turkey. Some senators may sincerely feel that war should be declared. But the majority of them are quite willing to leave the matter to the executive, if the executive will only be sufficient to polite to pretend to consult with them. It naturally grates on senators' voices to be told every day or two in Creel's messages of "the government to the people" and in all the administration newspapers that senators are ignorant of everything connected with the war, when one of the reasons they are so ignorant is the fact that the government won't tell them anything.
A little of the spirit of rapprochement between the White House and
the capitol would do away with such bitter fights as that which has developed in connection with the Overman bill, for instance. The Senate isn't really mad, so much as it is peeved.
HUMOR.
It takes man to laugh. Long ago it was said that all below and all above man in the universe are serious. Lack of humor therefore is a quality that gods and beasts have in common. But that is only apparent. Beasts are inferior to humor. Gods are superior to it. Man, being fallible but conscious of his fallibility, is alone qualified to preceive disproportions. A sense of disproportion is very close to a sense of humor, if indeed it is not that. Indeed, who has not observed that the man who looks upon himself only to be perpetually astounded at his perfection has no use for humor?
There is the blood relation between the whanging of a slapstick and the cattle play of a bon mot. In the one see it is a lowering of physical man into the stature of the beast, in the other it is an elevating of his mentality into a realm of thin air and elusive ideas; and either the raising or the lowering, if sudden and preposterous, is funny.
To lack the humorous sense is to see life without perspective. The world in which the unhumorous man lives is a foreshored world. To be unhumorous is much the same as to be unmoral; it is to be deprived of fundamental quality. Humor is the fat streak, the mind's lubricant. It is perhaps man's greatest gift, for it makes his deficiencies, when not usually likable, tolerable even to him self.
In only one of man's great activi-
sity is it forbidden humor to intrude.
That is in his loves. It is then, one
enemembers, that man is most godlike.
Besides, a sense of proportion there
could be calamitous.
SALUTE THE FLAG
Do American civilians know how to salute the flag? It would seem not, for not one in a hundred is ever caught doing it. Do they know that it is their duty, and should be their pride to salute the flag whenever it passes and whenever formally dislayed just a smuch as it is to stand uncovered when the "Star spangled Banner" is played or sung. It would seem not, since they do it so seldom that it seems like never. Isn't it rather absurd to be more loyal to the song than to the flag itself?
If Col. Roosevelt' keeps on being so splendidly right, the Globe may yet have to join in the demand which has already started that he be nominated for president in 1920.
There will be occasion for all the pacific disposition his holiness can command if he undertakes meditation between nationalist Ireland and conscriptorist England.
Of course you have found no difficulty in dropping again into your old habit of buying a daily war Thrift Stamp.
No real American wants the war to end before it is possible to say that somebody has been nicked—and to dame the man.
How happy and free from color is the life of the man who heroically refuses to expect summer until June 21.
If only the best epigram writers were invariably the best strategists war would not be nearly as hellish as it is.
A Danish ministry has won an election on the "kept us out of war" slogan. Time for the Danes to begin increasing their navy.
There are two kinds of patriots—one who do their utmost for their country's sake and those who do their most for publicity's sake.
There is no use wasting logic on either an idolizer or a hater of any public leader. Such a man is always immune.
The world's dreamers are her finest soul; but they are important in grave emergencies. 'Tis sad 'tis true.
The women should not nag their
rebands too much. Every lion hates
its trainer.

GOVERNOR TOM C RYE REPLIES
TO DR. J. A. JONES' LETTER
WITH REFERENCE TO THE
LEXINGTON LYNCHING-GOV-
ERNOR EXPRESSES HOPE THAT
GUILTY PARTIES WILL BE
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
Mr. Editor—I am enclosing you herewith, the reply of Governor Tom C. Rye to my open letter addressed to him last week. The reply came late, which is accounted for from the fact that the Governor was out when my communication reached his office. His letter will explain itself:
NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MAY 3. 1918
QUINO HAIR GROWER BEST BY TEST GANTT QUINO SCHOOL, 636 Fogs St., Nashville, Tenn.
Bacchus Chamber,
Nashville, Teen, April 29, 1918.
Rev. J. A. Jones.
40 Green street, Nashville, Tenn.
Dear Sir:—
I am in receipt of your letter of the 24th inst.
I regret the Lexington occurrence and earnestly hope that this state may be spared further outrage of this kind. I called the Judge and Attorney General o f that district the very moment that I heard that there was a mob pursuing the Negro, and was advised that everything would be done that could be done to prevent mob violence.
However, this was but a short time before the arrest was made and the offense was committed. The Judge was upon the ground, and up to the very moment of the lynching believed that such a thing could not occur.
I have not gone into the press to undertake to justify or explain my actions in these matters, but there has not been a Negro lynched in Tennessee since I have been governor, or even if the probability of such an act was brought to my attention, but what I did something, and even more than the law required in an effort to try to prevent it. The authority vested in the governor in matters of this kind, is exceedingly limited, and certainly a governor cannot act to prevent a mob without he has some information that it is likely to ocur. When it is made to appear in a source, that a lynching is about to take place in any county, under an act passed by the legislature of 1915 called the "Ranger Act," the Governor may call out the Rangers to protect life and property. But you must readily understand and appreciate that in order to do this it necessarily requires some little time, at least, as these men are called from the quiet and peaceable pursuits of life, and before they can deal with a mob they must be armed and equipped so as to perfom the duties imposed upon them and protect themselves from violence. I have the utmost confidence in Judge Barham and in the Attorney General of that District, and believe they will do what they can to punish the trouble about securing this result. The trouble about securing this result cannot be tried and punished, as you know, until the Grand Jury, composed of thirteen citizens of the county in which the offence occurred, has preferred a bill of indictment by a vote at least twelve of that number; and, in my judgement, the trouble will be to secure this bill of indictment. However, I would not want to be understood as saying that the Grand Jury of the county would not do its duty under their oath and under the charge of the Court, and until they fail to do this, let us hope that they will bring to justice, those guilty of this crime.
TOM C BXF
I will not ask your indulgence for any space at this time for comment on this letter. But I feel that the public should have the benefit of the Governor's side of the question, and leave this comment for the pub-

IN MEMORY OF MRS. KATIE B
HUDSON. WHO DEPARTED.
She is not dead but sleepeth.
Over the river, the dark flowing river.
Another has passed to that shore.
In behalf of the family.
Mrs. Katie B. Hudson became a Christian in early life, while her mind was young and easily touched.
She always carried a beaming light of sunshine and piousan expression with her and at all times would give good advice and true counsel to younger persons. Her children were the idol of her heart. She is zone, though we miss her, yet the angels are keeping watch over the sleeping loved ones gone before. The beoveday himself out may frighten Mr. Gilead Church. Like a fallen ill broken we lay her under the cold April sod, but, O, we will hope, we will believe her soul went home to God.
Out from the darkness into the light, Out from the shadowland where all is night;
Called by God's voice eternally right, A beautiful life has gone.
Gone from husband children and friends,
Leaving sorrow and pain.
Gone to its Giver to always remain.
Gone, but, thank God, we will see her again.
A CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank the neighbors and friends for their kindness shown us during her three days' illness.
Charlie Hudson, Husband.
Feed and Willie Hudson, Sons.
Emma Hudson, Daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Ida B. Holmes, Aunt.
IN MEMORY OF THE LATE MRS.
SUSIE JOHNSON
(By Friends.)
And mankind calls her friend;
She bore no mark of selfish pride.
Unsullied is her name.
Her life was such that even death
Could not obscure its fame.
Faced with such images unclea
She carefully abstained.
Respect for family, love to God.
She constantly maintained.
May a corner-stone be built for her,
May a structure bear her name;
That will be built because she lived
and died
Without spot or stain.
Life is reckoned not in years,
But by the way one lives;
"Twas not her learning or wealth
that won her love and friends.
That she came from yonder grave
To you this message sends.
But 'tis a virtuous life that pleads
And points a higher plane.
That we by emulating her
Her virtues may attain.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends for their kindness during the illness of our departed daughter, Willie, and also for the beautiful floral designs

HADLEY SCHOOL NOTES
Perhaps the public would like to know something more about our noble school. Many visitors visit our school from time to time. We are always pleased to have them with us.
Mr. Myles, an expert gardener of state's university, called in to visit our school a few days ago. He gave us some very good instructions on gardening, telling us how to plant and cultivate our garden to get the best results from them.
We also had with us a few days ago Rev. Fields, a man of ability who is loved and highly praised by the people. Rev. Fields gave us some good and interesting thoughts, such as he is able to give and we need to be good. One of the most interesting thoughts is that he advanced was how to become a good citizen. He said: "If a person is based on these five subjects, he will become a good citizen." They are as follows: Obedience, honesty, truthfulness, kindness and punctuality. All of these go to make up citizenship or good citizens.
Miss E. L. Foster, one of the teachers of our school, has been absent for some time on account of her sister being very ill. The pupils miss her very much.
Much repairing is being made on our school from time to time. Some painting and guttering work have been done on our school which gives it a neat appearance.

CARTER SCHOOL
Dear Mr. Hill and Family:
We give all due respect to our dear teacher, and family in the days of his dear father.
We don't know her but from her father we are safe in saying that she must have been a very sweet, little girl. We know the family will miss her but it won't be long before we will all join her on the other side of the river.
This earth is a garden of roses and the good Lord has blackened out one of the fairest roses for His kingdom. We say, "Peace to her ashes."
for she has suffered long and may her soul rest until all the flowers are put together and we shall all adorn his heavenly kingdom. Lovingly, The pupils of Miss Bramlett's Room.
PATRIOTIC ADDRESS DELIVERED
AT SPRINGFIELD
(Continued from Page 1.)
and hurled it at and beat back the flower of the French army, or of Maceo, "the black terror" in Cuba's struggle with Spain; or the daring of our own heroic Ninth and Tenth Calvary at San Juan Hill. What these have done, you can do also.
"This is a struggle of right against wrong, of justice against injustice, and of democracy against autocracy. It is a war to determine whether this world will be ruled by a royal few or whether it will be governed for the people and by the people. As President Wilson said: "We are going to make the world safe for democracy," and we are loyal to the cause we have espoused. We fight side by side with out brother in white for the same cause he is fighting for. But we are not only fighting that the world might be safe for democracy, but we hope that out of this loyalty and sacrifice we make for the country, and after having given our best blood and our treasure; after having sacrificed our all to the God of War upon Democracy's altar we hope there will be born and nurtured here in this land an unalterable determination to make the United States the We fight us the freedom of the world and we also fight that the brother may be compelled to lay his rope the incendiary his firebrand; and that we may be taken into American brotherhood and protected in the pursuits of peace and happiness. We are fighting and bleeding and dying that the demagogue may be made to cease to chase us up the hill of progress with his segregation and Jim-crow laws. Finally, we are fighting for self-preservation as much as the preservation of democracy. And if after having buried our heroic dead upon a foreign battlefield, we return and find no change in sentiment or the
treatment accorded us.; if we do not by our sacrifices procure the ends for which we have been so long contending and petitioning, we will have sacrificed in vain. We will have died in vain.
But young men, go forward. Let this ever be your watchword. Through the dim vitim of revelation I can see a better day dawning upon us—the day when men will be compelled to acknowledge the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. You are going forth to fight our battles in a country where you will be known as the "black American soldier." You go where you will be accepted upon your manhood. You will be clad in the uniform of an American soldier, a uniform which bespeaks character, courage and victory. France and England will receive you with open arms. You are the dusky sons of Robertson County sent as her representatives of all that is pure and good. We are expecting each of you to do your whole duty as God gives you power to do it. Shirk not a single duty, but be vigilant, be active, be brave. Remember, a brave man cannot die but once. And it's sweet to die in the discharge of one's duty. The hero who sacrifices his life upon the altar of manly duty lives on in the hearts of his fellowmen, but the coward dies twice—dies forever.
Boys, the eyes of the Commwealth are upon you. We will be eagerly awaiting news of your brave and heroic deeds. Be manly, be virtuous, be brave. You will be untraumelled in your association upon that foreign soil, therefore we would have you do credit to your country and bring honor to your race. When in the company and presence of women, remember your mother, sister, wife or sweetheart whom you left behind you, then measure your conduct by the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Now, young men, we bid you God-speed, and may a beneficent heaven watch over and keep you, and strengthen you for the task of "garring" the Kaiser and destroying his damnable war machine which has caused the world to groan under the weight of its frightfulness; and stand agast as it beholds its atrocities. We are in the war to win, we must win. Therefore we are sending you forth as a part of that winning force, we do not only want you to stand like a stonewall, but we want you to push on to ultimate victory. We have spoken of the honor gained by virtue for one's countrymen, we are not sending you forth to die; but we are sending you forth to live, for the man who lays his life upon the altar, he who sacrifices his all for liberty, humanity and right can never die; but lives on, and on everlastingly in the hearts of his countrymen.
Horace Greely once said, "The American Government blundered much in turning loose on these United States four million paupers. four million charges for governmental charity and unworthy of and unable to rise to America's standard of civilization." But I wish tonight that Greely could be awakened from his doxy sleep and the dust could be wined from his decaving eyes; let him see and read how we have attained unto the highest type of civilization. In art, in literature, the world's best critics give us a rating, in music and song they say we lead the world. As soldiers we rank among the world's best: in Christian fervor, patience, self-denial and patriotic sacrifices we have taught the world lessons of self-denial, patience and toil. And it does not yet appear what we shall be. We will light up this world with the lamp of our faith, march bravely to the battlefield and by our heroism show the world that the Negro race can do. As on former occasions the ladies furnished lunches for the boys this morning, while fully two thousand persons stood around the depot to bid the boys good-bye. The Bransford High School Glee Club sang patriotic songs and otherwise cheered them while waiting for the train.

EVENTS AT PEARL HIGH SCHOOL
The entire corps of colored teachers assembled in the auditorium of this school last Wednesday to extend greetings and welcome to Prof. H. Carl Weber, the new superintendent-elect of the city schools of Nashville. The occasion was a joyous one. A few weeks ago, a similar meeting was held by the white teachers. These gatherings are unique and unprecedented. The different Boards of Education in the past have elected the superintendent, in the history of the public schools of the city, but never before has any superintendent received such felicitations in advance of his taking office. These meetings bespeak the popularity of Prof. Weber with the teachers and the high esteem in which he is held by them as an educator. After the preliminary exercises, the new superintendent-elect was introduced. His remarks were characterized of the man and showed that he had lost none of his old time "punch." There is still that force and power in him, who brought the Nashville public schools to such a high state of efficiency ten years ago. He is original; he thinks for himself; he does not follow the beaten track; he makes a path of his own. There is no doubt that the Board of Education has acted most wisely in its selection. There was a sentiment of regret expressed by all the speakers at the retirement of Prof. J. J. Keyes. The schools have made progress under his administration and seen new buildings being built, he beceived new buildings, and he leaves the office of superintendent voluntarily, but will still be connected with the schools in the capacity of teacher.
The program consist of remarks by Dr. J. P. Crawford, representing the teaching corps; Prof. E. W. Benton, speaking for the principals; Miss E. J. Terry, in behalf of the lady teachers, and Dr. C. V. Roman, on behalf of the citizens. Dr. F. G. Smith, principal of the high school, conveyed a message from Mr. Wm. Nelson, President of the Board of Education, who could not be present on account of an out-of-town engagement. He also read a letter from Mr. Leland Hume, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Education, who had to leave for Atlanta, Ga., and found it impossible to be present. Music was furnished by the Fisk University Male Glee Club.

Mrs. T. H. Burleson and Mrs. John Lieper met the presidents of the various parent-teacher organizations of the different schools in Room 302 last week. The object of the meeting was to arouse the parents and children to the necessity of cultivating every vacant lot and spot of ground in the city. Mrs. Burleson is a representative of the United States government and is accomplishing much good in the way of getting school children to cultivate gardens. Pledge cards are given to each child that raises a garden which reads as follows: "I pledge myself to keep and maintain my garden, working it in the very way I know, and to turn in a full report of work to ParentTeacher's Association."
Mrs. Burleson is pursuing the work in a very systematic way. She requests a list of lots cultivated and will furnish seeds to those signing the Pledge Card. Prof. J. J. Keyes, Superintendent of the schools, was present at the meeting and addressed the presidents and principals. Seven schools were represented. It was stated that garden products will be made a special feature at the State Fair in September and that Mrs. James Bradford will be in charge of this department.

PABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH
NOTES.
Rev. H. M. Burns ably assisted by Rev. Stubblebell has closed a successful revival service with quite a number of souls added to the church. Sunday night by request the pastor preached from Ezekiel 37:1, every seat was filled but despite the crowd, speaker held the undivided attention of his hearers as he carried them on higher ground. The candidates that were baptized were extended the right hand of fellowship. The church is losing three more of the mostly young men in the person of Bros. John Lewis. Charlie McLin and John Lewis. We regret very much to see them carry us. We know that they are as safe in the camps as at home, with Jesus Christ as their captain. May God bless and keep them as they go forth to do their bit and play their part in making the world safe for democracy.

Gentleman. I found I excelente Quinine Powder, and A new short, course and nappy, both in Indian long, and is so soft and adyky that I woke it. I am sending my pious request to show you how pretty Exluate has made KINKY.
On Monday night at 8:30 o'clock in the auditorium of the above named church before a large audience, a most interesting musical program and debate was given under the auspices of the Metoka-Galedas organized classes. The subject, "Resolved that Peter's denial was a greater sin than Thomas' doubting the Christ." The Metokas taking the affirmative were very ably represented by Messrs A. D. Thomas and A. Page. It is useless to mention the eloquent manner these young men delivered their respective parts as it is only a delight for them to at all times do their bit.
The negative was strongly upheld by Mesdames M. B. Thompson and D. C. Crowder, to say they held the "Galeda Banner" will be all that is necessary, as it seems they are do certain to the "Galeda Banda" in the dust, and certainly carried of the honors of the night, having made twelve points while the Metokas only made seven. A neat sum realized.
On Monday night, May 6th at 7:30
clock the Metoka-Galeda classes will
meet at the home of Mr. A. D. Thomas
on Batavia street. Let every loyal
member be present. Business of
importance. Visitors are always well

CHARLEY KEEL, JR.
sorrowing schoolmates and friends of the family of the deceased
Mr. Keel was only 19 years of age. He was a bright and energetic young man, respected and loved by all who knew him. He was a loving, kind and obedient son and the pride of his home, being the only child. He was educated in the city public schools, and had he remained in school this term he would have been a member of this year's graduating class of Pearl High School.
The active pal-nearbears were Messrs. Hobart Hobson, Edmond Wright, Beilford Brown, Rufus Jamison, Clarence Reid, Clifford Oden, Orville Reid and James Thompson. Honorary; Messrs. John Gibson, Walter McNairy, Robert Buford, Edgar Davidson, Charley Duff, Wilson Orr, Edgar Crow, Clarence Davis, Hugh Bolden, Joseph Wright and Dan Glenn. The flowers were many and beautiful. His body was laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery.
In Memory of Our Loving Son,
Charley Keel, Jr.
As we looked upon thee,
So cold and still.
We tried to think and say,
"It is God's will."
Thou art gone but not forgotten,
Duried deep beneath the sod;
But 'tis only nine body,
For thy spirit hath down to God.
How sweet to think of the time when
we were together,
Ah! those happy days;
For none knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but for praise.
We would not call thee back,
But rejoice in thy reception at the
judgment seat;
And we pray that the time will pass
quickly
When we, too, shall kneel at our
Saviour's fee.
His devoted mother and father, Mr and Mrs, Charley Keel.

"I have been bothered for years with a bronchial trouble that was very annoying and it looked as if I had it for all time," says Mrs. Horton, who lives at 705 Third avenue, South, Nashville, Tenn., in her state given a short time ago.
"I had tried everything that I knew of or could hear of, and yet I had not found the remedy until Mrs. Cordie Vester advised me to take Lung-Vita, which I did. And I am proud to say that this medicine relieves the cause and consequently the bronchial trouble. I feel brand-new and appreciate having taken such a medicine. I recommend it to other people."
Lung-Vita is sold by druggists and dealers in Nashville and its vicinity. —Adv.

A most enjoyable affair was that of the birthday dinner given by Mrs. Jennie Reese in honor of her husband, Mr. Hugh Reese, Mr. Reeseepied the long routine of buggies coming but was ignorant of the fact of what this gathering meant until he saw the baskets. Then he remembered 'twas the 28th of April which marked his fortieth anniversary. It was but a short while till we were enjoying those wholesome eatables each basket contained. A four course menu was served. Those present aside from the family were Mrs. Fannie Smith Leftrich from Kentucky, Mr. Leonard Smith from Lynchburg, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bailey of Mulberry, Mrs. Nannie M. Reese Bonner of Fayetteville was also out mingling with home folks. We pray that Mr. Reese and wife will live long and enjoy many more happy days as the 28th of April, 1918.

We are doing line here in Avondale. Some of our soldier boys left Monday morning for the camps. We don't know just where they are to camp. Quite a number of people accompanied them to the station to bid them Godspeed and Farewell. They left jolly and in good spirit. They said they were going and got old Kaiser and were coming back to Tennessee. Miss Emma Grissard and Mr. Johnnie Andrew Reasoner united in holy wedlock Sunday at the home of the bride. Mr. Square Saunders (white) officiated. The wedding took place at 3 o'clock m. The attendants were relatives and a number of friends who witnessed the ceremony. The bride wore a poplin costume with hat to harmonize and her flowers were a bouquet of roses, violets and lilies of the valley. Mr. and Mrs. Reasoner left Sunday evening for their future home in Nashville. Both have a host of friends to be interested in their wedding. We wish them a long and happy life on the sea of matrimony.

The central event of the week was the leaving of the soldier boys for the training camps. Saturday afternoon a farewell meeting was held at the court house. Rev. A.

Mr. Tillman is a graduate of Tuskeguee and has just graduated from the officers' training camp, being one of the seventeen colored men who made the necessary grade. He bears the rank of second man. The Tillman's address was the feature of the school gave an interesting account of life at the camp and gave much wholesome advice to the boys, as well as some very practical advice to those who remain at home. The boys were banqueted Saturday night at the M. E. Church, where there was provided a feast of reason as well as many good things to eat. While there was not as much enthusiasm as on the first occasion, still the boys were cheerful and were eager for the fray.

LEWISBURG NOTES.
The largest crowd of colored people ever known to meet here gathered at the First Baptist Church last Sunday night. The occasion was a grand banquet given to twenty-two colored soldiers who left here for the camps. The people came into our town from several miles around. Before it was dark the house was crowded with both white and colored. The house was called to order by Prof. H. G. Allen, master of ceremonies, who, in a few well chosen and beating words, stated the object of the meeting, after which the great crowd stood and sang "The Star Spangled Banner." At the close of the song Rev. E. M. Smith offered prayer. "America" was then sung, followed by a most excellent paper by Mrs. E. M. Smith, teacher of primary department in our city school. Thurston Orr then sang a solo, followed by a very able address by Rev. W. H. Ogleton, pastor of the A. M. E. Church here. Then a quartet composed of the following persons: Smith Davis, Thurston Orr, Cadwell Smith, Canal. This was followed by an address by Rev. E. M. Smith, which was enjoyed by all. Next a solo by Miss Marie Orr. Song, "Keep the home fire burning," by the choir, followed by a few appropriate remarks by Dr. I. C. Watson. A song entitled "Mr. Wilson's Called," was sung by four characters. One of the leading addresses was made by Mr. Jimmie J. Murray, one of the leading white citizens of our town, who was present and called upon by the master of ceremonies. Mrs. Claudie M. Hurt was the pianist for the occasion and Mrs. Etta Davis conducted the
singing department and much credit is due her for the success of the occasion. When the program was completed, a great feast was given the soldier boys. This was managed in such an attractive and tasteful manner that the boys forgot for the present that they had been called to military service. A collection was made for the Cordale result was $25. The public school building here is alive with songs, rehearsals, etc., getting ready for commencement week. Cordie Allen has been elected salutatorian and Amos Smiley, valedictorian, for the class completing the Eighth Grade. Indications are that we are going to have one of the best closing weeks in the history of the school. The soldier boys left today for the class completing the Eighth Grade in our own. Each soldier was presented a Bible by Rev. E. M. Smith, pastor of the First Baptist Church here.
FAYETTEVILLE.

Zion Baptist Church on last Sunday night. Prof. Hall spoke of the Negro as a soldier from the Battle of Boston in the Revolutionary War to the Battle of San Diego in the Spanish-American war. We enjoyed the lecture that was delivered by J. J. Clark Carty at the A. M. E. Church Sunday evening to the soldier boys. Mrs. Carty was eloquent. Her thoughts were beautiful and unsurpassed in logic. Mr. E. C. Brossard (white) was the speaker of the day. He was introduced by Rev. Stewart (white). Mr. Brossard said he did not like the word drafted; he said he preferred the word elected. Mr. Kinth Moore of Martin.

CUMBERLAND FURNACE
Mr. Gilbert McCurty died April 15. He had been critically ill for some time but bore his suffering patiently until the end. He was a Christian man. He would say while talking, "I am just waiting on the Lord; that he wasn't afraid of death; that he had been preparing for forty years." He was a member of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church and was a faithful member, always willing and ready to give advice. He was known all through the country; he was loved by both colored and white. Rev. J. A. Standfield attended his funeral, Wednesday, April 15th. He was laid to rest at the cemetery. He leaves behind six daughters, two sons, thirty-six children who, with other relatives of his family, were of friends, mourn their lost. But of friends, he will not be forgotten.

Sleep, brother, we hope to meet you in that kingdom you've so often spoken of, where parting is no more.

HENNING.
Mr. J. C. Fisher has returned from Terre Haute, Ind., where he went a few days ago to answer a call from the local board, as he by chance went there when the registration was last April, visiting his uncle, George Reeves.

GALLATIN.
Mrs. Charity Howell of Greater Mrs. Winston was a visitor in our city last week. Mr. William Anderson who has been spending some time in Hot Springs, Ark., where he has been employed, is at home with his father this week. Mr. Abigail Anthony of Scottsville, Ky., was in Gallatin last week en route to Louisville, Ky. At 1:30 o'clock on Wednesday the life of James S. Randolph passed into the great beyond. He was about 59 years of age and died at his home on Fort street. He had only been ill for about three weeks and his death came as a great shock to many of his friends. He leaves a wife and one granddaughter, one sister and four brothers. He was a wife of the late Mack Randolph one of the pioneers of this county and one of the most prosperous of our race in this city. His career he owned many fine rakes of the blue blood stock, and bears the distinction of operating the first car service in this city. The funeral was conducted at Key Chapel M. E. Chapel by Revs. J. D. Chavis Peter Vertrees and Price. Buria followed at Gallatin Cemetery. Wesley Winston was in Greater Nashville last week. Mr. Johnnie Wright of Wright's Just Right Orchestra of Dollacus, Wis., is at home
wisting homefolks and friends. Mr. Wm. Fite of Hendersonville was here last week to attend the funeral of Mr. James Randolph. Mrs. Ralph Hall of Kokomo, Ind., arrived here last Monday morning, being called to the bedside of her sister, who is very seriously ill. News reaches us that Mr. Milus Randolph, formerly of this place but now a resident of Chicago, is now employed in the Government Custom House. The pay-as-you-enter system for your supper used by the committee of the entertainment live at late Hall last Friday night proved somewhat unpleasant for some. The crowd was larger than the committee had anticipated and the refreshments became exhausted before all were served. Well, that was all right, but the partiality shown in serving was the unpleasant feature. The second call for the draft boys of Summer County came on last Monday at seven o'clock. The boys were ready and reported for duty. Nine were to go to Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., and twenty-three were to go to Camp Meade, Md., at noon. Bob Tinsley in charge of the boys for camp was the only one to charge the boys for Camp Meade called their men to order forming them two by two in front of the court house. Then the march began to the station headed by Senator Brackin of Summer and Reuben Harris, carrying two large American flags floating in the breeze followed by Offutt's Jazz Band which played patriotic ablaze. The red auxiliary was well represented with appropriate banners, one of the writer would like to call your special attention to which asks the question as follows: "What Have you done to help the boys who are now in the trenches and those who are soon to so?" Col. J. B. Malone was right when he said: Patriotism ablaze. The colored boys of Old Summer are going to France to fight for victory and win victory. They are not afraid of the Kaiser's guns. They are going to sustain their reputation that they have made in all other battles from Crispum Attucks down to the scrimmage in Mexico at Carrilaz, when Mexican soil was crimson with our precious blood. Mr. Roger Lyons of Indianapolis, Ind., was here circulating among friends. A Thrift Stamp costs only 25 cents. How many have you bought? The officers and members of the social clubs at Peach Valley, namely, the Blue Ribbon Club and Community Upbuilding, together with other fields and the two boys, Eugene Willey, Henry Johnson, who are to leave for Carrilaz, gave an entertainment at their church Thursday night. April 25. Very touching Scriptural discourses were given by Revs. Eugene Wiley and Jeff Scott, after which some encouraging remarks were given by Rev. Henry Cantrell. A social followed and refreshments were served.
BELL BUCKLE
The services at each church were splendid and largely attended. @ 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Mr. Patty spoke to the boys who were to leave Monday for Camp Meade. Every one enjoyed his talk. He spoke at the A. M. E. Church. Mr. Patty is now serving Uncle Sam. Mrs. Marcus Scruggs, Mrs. Dock Ashley, spent Friday afternoon with Mrs. Early Smith and Mrs. Henry Nelson.

Mrs. Eotta Wells has joined the Globe circle. Read the Globe and keep posted.
COLUMBIA
Sunday, April 28th will long be remembered by the people of Columbia and Maury County. The occasion was a patriotic meeting and bid a last farewell to the drafted boys who were to leave nevt morning. Long before the appointed hour, streams of people could be seen coming in every direction and the court room was soon filled to overflowing. The patriotic colored women of the city planned this demonstration. Mrs. C. O. Hunter was chosen chairman and presided throughout the evening. The choir composed of voices from the various churches of the city, was at its best and the enthusiastic way in which the patriotic airs were sung will long be remembered. Preceeding the speaker for the occasion, Miss Crogman of the State Normal, who was present, was asked to give a selection. She gave a reading from Paul Lawrence Dunbar, "The Colored Soldier, which was received with defending applause. C. H. Hawk introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. A. N. Johnson of Nashville. Mr. Johnson has lost none of his enthusiasm and sound judgment in the presence of a cause and before the close of the meeting citizens felt more keenly the gravity of the situation and more determined to do their part well. At the close of the address, Mrs. B. F. Davis, club, assisted by little Miss Juanna Morrell, presented the men with thirty-five Comfort Kits and in well chosen words, gave a brief report of the good work done by the club for the boys who had gone before. The boys were then escorted to Odd Fellows Hall, where a committee with Mrs. Dora Perkins as chairman, served a most elaborate banquet. Prof. A. F. Friferson of Nashville, spent the week-end here. He was accompanied from home to Mrs. Frierson, who had been here two weeks before the side of her father. Mr. John Brown of Detroit, Mich., arrived last week, having been called on account of the serious illness of his father, Mr. Richard Brown. Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Jones and Miss Crogman of Sate Normal motored through from Nashville, Sunday, April 28th. They were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. C. O. Hunter, for dinner. Through the Knitting Club, each of the thirty-five drafted men were provided with a well filled Kit, which were presented to them at the demonstration at the Court House last Sunday afternoon. Mrs. B. F. Davis, Vice President of the
