Rev Sam Jones said: 1f the bad
people could support all the saloons
and bad houses of Nashville, the
good people ought to be able to
support q little revival meeting
three weeks And / submit If our
people can pay large per cent of
the expense of our municipal gov
eminent, by fines, we certainly
can and ought to sustain one little
orphan home.
s'Do you know our people pay
the policemen who stand guard over
them on the corners of our streets?
Do you know our people buy
clothing for them to wear every
day better than they themselves
wear on Sunday?
"Do you know our people buy
the maces with which they are
beaten and revolvers with which
they are shot dowRf Do you know
that our people buy the rubber
tire wagon In which they take their
free rides to the police station on
North Market street, which they
have absolutely built and paid for
with their fines? And do you
know that the judge who pronounc-
Is sentence upon them for their
misconduct is absolutely paid by
them for so doing? Judge Clack
will turn more money into the city
treasury tomorrow than half of the
negro churches of this city will
contribute today Sunday. My
friends, If this condition of things
is to change we must see to it that
every movement which looks to the
moral uplifting of our people is
encouraged in substantial way"
