The annual sermon was preached by
Rev. |. H. Jones, pastor of Lane Tab

Sunday, the last day of the Confer

fine sermon was delivered by Rev. H.
j. Johnson. Most every one seemed
to feel the Holy Ghost. After the
morning sermon there was large
spread for all on the lawn. Every one
enjoyed eating the fine dinner pre-
pared by the people of Green Hill.
At three o'clock Rev. J. T. Walton
preached the farewell sermon, after
which all the delegates departed for
home.

Unexpected to almost every one out
side of Mississippi, John Sharp Will
liams has a small majority on the

cussion of the race question, which
was the paramount issue, had given
forth the impression that Mississippi,

conservative. But it appears that that

GOVERNOR PATTERSON

Gov. Patterson, whose heart seems
tc be in the right place and full of
love for his fellow-man, made record
this week for pardoning criminals.
Wednesday he extended executive
clemency to SO convicts, eighteen of
whom were under sixteen years Of
age. There is remote possibility that
Mr.. Patterson may have erred in turn
ing out few convicted men who had
active friends on the oNtside to bring
every influence TO bear for their re-
lease, but this act, wherein he goes
personally and inspects the records of
the friendless; examines the confirmed
invalids. and turns loose these unfor-
Inmates, together with eighteen boys,
who ought never to have been per-
mitted to enter penitentiary, can not
be criticised by any right thinking
man. Governor Patterson in many re-
spects is proving one of the most fair
minded Governors this state has ever
had.

FORMER CITIZEN OF NASHVILLE
COMMITS SUICIDE.

News was received in this city Mon
day evening that Mr.. John H. Bar
bour had met his death in Chicago
that morning. 1t appears from the re-
ports published in a daily paper of
Chicago that Mr.. Barbour committed
suicide by throwing himself in front
of an Illinois Central train at the 32nd
Street Railroad Station. The remains,
when found, had the head severed
completely from the rest of the body.
The only cause assigned was that Mr..
Barbour and his wife had disagree
ment that morning before he left
home.
Mr.. Barbour was well-known in this
city, as for many years he was the
junior member of the firm of Harris
& Barbour, the Cedar street furniture
dealers He left a wife and six chill
dren, the youngest of whom is about
four months old. Interment was in
Chicago.

GAINING NOTORIETY.

The campaign begun by Theodore
Roosevelt for the regulation of the
railroads and trusts has brought forth
a multitude Of lesser reformers whose
sole slogan seems to be, Gain noto-
rlety by attacking the railroads or
trusts The Governors of North Caro-
lima and Alabama, come easily in this
class, as does Judge Kennesaw Noun
tain Lands, of Chicago, who imposed
fine upward of $29,OOO,O0O upon the
Standard Oil Company. The fine inn
posed by Judge Lands was excessive
and likewise the action of Gov. Glenn
and Gov. Conner in holding I'D the
Southern Railroad merits disapproval
Strenuosity has paid we'll in Roose-
Velts career. Possibly the lesser lights
expect to profit by this example.

A REMARKABLE HAPPENING.

The Dallas Express, commenting
upon paragraph which appeared in
these columns recently, in which we
said: "How remarkable! A white car
conductor shot two white men who in
terfered with a colored passenger on
a West Nashville car! We doff our
hats to this exceptional conductor"
expresses the following opinion:
eve cannot see the justice Of the
Globes contention and rejoicing. The
Express does not approve OF any spe-
cies of lawlessness, whether committed
for or against the negro. Lawlessness
is blind and cannot see afar off. and
when anyone stands off Kissing it on,
just because he is not the victim of its
heartless visitations, he will live to
have his own experiences interpret
truthfully the proverbial old state
ment Laughing is catching" Let us,
if we would demand it for ourselves,
be fair in all things with the white
man as with the negro"
The Express is wrong. The Globe
does not sympathize with lawlessness
and is always ready to condemn un-
lawful acts whether committed by
blacks or whites But we do applaud
men who in their course of duty put
their lives in jeopardy to uphold the
law. And especially do we feel like
praising white man when he risks
his life to see that injustice is not
done to a Negro.
If the Express knew the facts in the
case to which our paragraph referred
we believe it would not be such a mol.
lycoddle as to give vent to the ex.
preston Laughing is catching" For
the benefit of our Texas contemporary
we will give the details of the alterca
ton as published in the daily papers
Succinctly stated the facts appear to
be as follows: A woman of our race
was seated III the rear portion or what
is commonly known as the "jim crow
section of a West Nashville car. She
was attending her own business. Two
white men boarded the car and tried
to force her from the seat which she
was occupying. The conductor, seeing
fhof fba NuOpnny Vuoc c1oo WV, x,,{+1,;, H.,
rights, ordered them to desist. This
they refused to do and even made a
second attempt to remove her. The
conductor then stopped his car and
put the two men off. So incensed were
the men that they fired at the street
car official, to which he promptly re-
sponded, wounding both of the self-ap.
pointed enforcers of the Tim crow
law.
1t may be different in Texas, but
here it is so far out of the ordinary
that a street car conductor will protect
female passenger of our race when
she is conforming, to all the require
ments of the 'jim crow" law, that one
example eXcites our wondor and ap-
probation. We can see no element Of
lawlessness in the conductor defend
ing his life. He simply did what any
one with spark of manhood in him
would do and we hope that his tribe
will so increase that the "jim crow

conceded to be a pretty good dull old
