The fourth Spingarn Medal awarer was made today at the first Baptist Church, Providence, R. L. to William Stanley Braithwaite Cambridge, Mass., the distinguished poet and literary critic, whose work is literary critic to the Boston Eve. Transcript and contributor or critical essays to the Forum, the Century, Sirbner's, the Atlantic Monthly and other leading magazines has made his name well known to the literary publisher, Mr. Braithwaite is a poet as well as a writer. In 1904 he published "Lyrics of Life and Love," a small volume of poems and in 1908, "The House of Fallen Leaves." Since 1913 he has edited the Anthology of Magazine Verse," the Book of Small, Maynard & Co. of Boston. In 1916 Mr. Braithwaite is author of the "Poetry Review" of Cambridge.

Mr. Brathwaite's most recent publication is a volume entitled "The Poetic Year," in which are gathered together a series of articles which were contributed by him to the Boston periodical during the years 1916 and 1917. It is needless to remark that Mr. Brathwaite's reputation extends beyond that of a "Negro" crifle.

A special feature of the program on the second night was the graduation of Miss Grace Louise Williams. Themby, a member of the class that held faithfully on to the end of the race.

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.

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

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.

‘these two organized classes in their
meeting June 12.17, in connection with
‘the Sunday School Congress. ‘The dl-

Special stress will be laid upon the use
of the Metoka and Galeda Magazine.
‘The paraphernalia of this department,

WILL FEATURE NEGRO MUSIC.
Negro music will be featured ex-
clusively at the Sunday School Con.
ress, Jane 1217, declared the national
chorister who conducts the chorus that
is expected to total six hundred voicos,
tis thelr plan to sing the songs weit:
ton, arranged, set to music and print.
‘ed 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
chorlster Is expected to have whipped
Into form one of the greatest aggrega-
tions of singers that has ever been pre-
pared 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 stamp-
ed him indelibly upon the minds of
the people a8 a master mind in train-
ing congregational singers. It was
announced that there would be an or-
chestra assisting to support the:
chorus, with a piano and pipe organ,
When the Congress opens it {s claimed |
the chorus will be divided in the varl-
ous subdivisions during the afternoon |
ef each day in order that each depart-
mental meeting might have special |
music, This with the addition of two
bands already secured, {s claimed by
the Congress secretary to be an ad-
vance not yet enjoyed by the Sunday
School vorkers at these annual gath-
erings. It was said that the elty,
will be given an opportunity to see|
just what progress bas been made
slong this particular line when the |
pre-Sunday School Congress Literary

where the public will be given an

‘The Beginning of the Sunday School
Congress Movement,
‘The aim of the Sunday School Con-
gross is to build front line Sunday
Schools, to advance modern Sunday
Schoo! methods, foster Sunday School
missions and help on the plan of child
evangelism. More than perhaps some
workers have been accustomed to hear
hhas been the assertion that the alm and
purpose of the Sunday School Congress
was for building front line Sunday
‘Schools. This has been proven by the
‘constant and steady growth of the for-
‘ward Sunday School movement from
‘the time the Sunday School Congress
‘was first launched to the present, By.
‘ery Indication is pointing to the fact
that nothing that has been started tn
the past decade has proven a greater
foree for good than the present for-
ward movement. A veritable coming
‘together of workers trom every per-
tion of the United States where they
spend the better part of the week in a
‘real Sunday School of Methods has
‘been cousidered by the Sunday School
workers and acknowledged by Sunday
School experts, attested by devout min
Isters of the gospel, as thé little loaven
in the loaf. The attendance of the
Sunday School, therefore, it would
seem has been on the tnereage since
the very beginning and from the
amount of enthusiasm shown at each
‘and every session there will be no
abatement—no, not one backward
“step. At the Sunday School Congress
every attendant becomes a constant
‘advocate and worker. There are ne
‘visitors. All are weleome, all find
something to do, and everyone {s
heard. Beginning at the least and go
‘ing up to the greatest, if there are
“any greatest, all are heard. ‘Those whd

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
choo! forces and the B. Y. P. U, work:
cers, It was hailed with joy and da'ight.
‘Strong editorials by the leading denom-
{national editors appeared in papers
throughout the country. Secular jour-
nals 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 loaf. So in June
1906, the movement was launched at
Nashville, Tenn, In 1907 tt met in
Now Orleans, in 1908 In Jacksonyjlle,

in connection with the thirteenth an-
nual session of the Sunday School Con-
gress, June 1217, Representatives of
the Boy Cadet movement in every sce-
tion 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 geen each day and the spirited
military discipline under religious in-
fluence 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 Sun-
day 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
‘ether information can be obtained

company of Cadets is told in a very

CRADLE ROLL AND INFANT DB-

“Where are the children and what
are they doing?” is a problem that this

child as soon as it is given a name and
Keeping up with that child until it

work of the Cradle Roll and Infant
Department, while new to some of the
Baptist schools, has become so impor

this work have been designated in
‘many schools, At the Congress this
‘year one competent, one well train-

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."
ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH.
The St. John Baptist Sunday School between 11th and 12th avenues. The school was opened strictly on time by the superintendent at 9:30 of clock, Brother J. A. Turner. The Sunday school is enlarging every week. New scholars are being added to the Sunday school. The scholars seem to be more interesting in the Sunday school work.
On last Sunday the Metokas and Galedas gave a rally. Different churches turned out with us. A large sum of money was raised. Visitors of many churches were present. Rev A. C. Holder of Mt. Zion installed the officers. We had a glorious time. Come, one; come, all, and join us.

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. Beckett, Fitzgerald, D. D. H. Johnson Aboveville, S. C.; Charles F. Brooks, Covington, La.; H. N. Newcome, Selma Ala; A. W. Abbington, Dallas, Tex.; S. A. Harris, Sanford, Fla.; C. R.

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.
FR ee acre it anti eeTeRS Seta
result of introduction of the Brandoge«
resolution in the Senate, the President
is disposed to explain in confidence to
the senate foreign affairs committee
his reasons for opposing a declara
tion of war against either Turkey o1
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 ne
Yorne in mind, was introduced in the
Airst place by Senator King, of Utah,
& democrat. Senator Brandexee, of
Connecticut, republican, merely. pre-
sented a resolution calling for action

Bee resolution gave several senators
‘oostly republicans, an opportunity to
State their willingness to vote for war.
Also it permitted senators, republican

executive policy of ignoring the Senate.

the White House, In another sense,
ft is also probably true that the ap:
roach 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, “helieving the publicity

fit early consideration.” Since Senator

“1 think the time has come," said
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, “when
‘we should have information and have

And that expresses best of all. the
motive back of the demonstration.
It really appears from every stand:
point as if the president ought to meet
the Senate half way. It would be good

is easy to enter into the feelings of

(By Friends.)
A life so fair aud Meeting
Deserves its note of pratso;
Ani memories of her noble lite
hall live unnumbered days.
Her life perpetwates her name,
And mankind calls hor friend;
She bore no mark of selfish pride,
Unsullied is her name,
Her life was such that even death
Could not obscure its fame.
From! cruel deeds and words unclean
She carefully abstained.
Respect for family, love to God,
She constantly maintained.
In temper sweet, in motive pure,
She loved and spoke the truth.
Im kindness to the old and. poor
She honored self and youth.
May a cornerstone be billt for her,
Nay a structure bear her name;
‘That will be built because she lived

And points a higher plane,

"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.

AVONDALE.
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.
SHELBYVILLE
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. Ramson presided and made the introductory speech. Rev. E. F. Gooch made the principal address. The kits were presented by Miss S. O. Brown. Lieut. Burrell Tillman on being introduced received an ovation. He is now at home on a furlough. 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. A large number accompanied the boys to Wartrace and bid them long and sad farewells. The following is a roster of the boys who left: Woods, William, Mattie, Myrtle Albert Kranken, Wm.

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.
Another call from Uncle Sam from Fayetteville for drafted colored men was on April the 27th. A grand reception was given the soldier boys at Mr. Joe Todd's cafe on April the 27th. Some able addresses were made to the boys at the A. M. E. Church on Sunday, April the 28th. Prof. G. T. Hall, principal of the city high school, gave a wholesome lecture to them at the Mt. 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. We will his loss, but God's will be done. A chain has been broken in the ranks and the link which has fallen out cannot be repaired. Sleep, brother, we hope to meet you in that kingdom you've so often spoken of, where parting is no more. May God protect the deceased from ill and may we prepare to meet him where they never say goode-bye. Mr. Charlie McCurty was Thursday evening for his home in Indianapolis.

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. Forty-five more colored draftmen and twenty-seven whites leave Lauderdale County at this call. Mrs. Wm. Reeves was on the sick list this week. The following were Sunday visitors in the Reeves home: Mrs. Katherine Lake, mother of Mrs. Reeves; Mrs. Elnaro Sims and Mrs. Fannie Taylor, daughters of Mrs. Reeves, also Mrs. Mary Langster and Mrs. Mabel Green.

Palmer. Mr. W. E. Palmer to join wife and daughter on Thursday at Lane College. Mr. M. T. Towler expects to open Sunday school in short at the Holt school house. Children who do not attend Sunday school in Henning should be proud of this grand opportunity.
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. Mr. Robert Cooper and Mrs. Ella Hawkins are improving. Miss Bell and Mrs. Mary Kizer spent Monday afternoon with Mrs. Lina Miller. Mrs. Adams is out again.

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.
