D L..
prietor of the Hopkinsville Morning |
News, replies in unstinted terms to
the recent remarks of Mr.. Thomp-
son in the Indianapolis Freeman con-
corning Mr.. d, A. Hart, the general
foreman at the National Baptist Pub
fishing House, and manager OF the
Globe Publishing Company. MT.
Brown writes as follows.
In the performance of our editorial
duties. the editor of the Morning News
recently saw fit to call to the attention
of the A. M. E. Church the brilliant
availability of Mr. D. A. Hart, for
the Secretaryship of the Sunday
School Union at Nashville, Tenn. Mr..
Hart is a remarkable young man, sin
gularly above reproach, son of the
great Methodist organization and a
man thoroughly conversant with the
affairs and machinery OF the publish
ing concern at Nashville.
Our editorial calling attention to
Mr.. Harris availability as the logical
successor of Dr. Chappelle, the pres
ent incumbent. in the event that that
distinguished person should be ele-
waited to the Episcopacy, was generally
received with grateful effect Practi
cal men in the church firmly and
pardonably believe that should a mar
of practical experience be placed II
charge of the publishing house a
Nashville, that large measure o
success would be the outcome This
of course. with due and profound apol
.ogies to DR. Chappelle, who is making
an excellent record at the institution
but we were speaking OF Mr.. Hart
whom we think should succeed tn
Doctor when the latter enters int
his episcopal reward, which Shout
happen next summer.
Our good friend R. w. Thompson
who for fifty-two weeks a year cause
the columns of the Indianapolis Free
man to sparkle with brilliant wisdom
has caused a rift to occur in the Tut
Mr.. Thompson in discussing M
Harris candidacy has the following
say on one occasion:
Editor Phil H. Brown of tt
Hopkinsville, KY, Morning News, hi
invaded the ranks of church politi,
and brought out as his candidate II
Secretary of the A. M. e. Sund;
School Union, one Dock Hart, foI
man in the printing department of Il
National Baptist Publishing House
Nashville, Tenn. We have long know
of Col. Brown as political WarwiC
hut did not know that he had dev
inner circles of Methodism sufficient
warrant him in naming the successor
the astute DR.. Chappelle, who may hi
self have something to say on the 81
iect Would Dock Hart be satisf
tory to the present wearer of
Union Toga? An amended sta
ment from Warwick Brown or a ri
ing endorsement from DR.. Chappe
. would tend to clarity the atmosph,
on this point"
With complete absence of pic
the editor of the Morning News
SCENTS the suggestion that we are
vading the ranks of church polite
We happen to be of the fourth gene
ton of Negro Methodists and are
clined to assert our right of sugI
ton.
Referring again to the foregoing
preston of Mr., Thompson, we vo
teer the further information that
A. Hart is not foreman of the pr
ing department of the National
list Publishing House at Nashvil
He is Superintendent of the Manu-
turing department and directs the
tivities of seven "foremen" and is
head of 1873 colored working men
working women, skilled and unsh
