linger with those deceptive symptoms,
we wen deny the fact, hoping against
hope, and yet there Is hope to save
some and prevent many from con-
tracing the disease IL we pay strict
attention to the smaller things.
During this unfavorable month Of
March there will be many who will
succumb to consumption. Knowing
the disease is far advanced In many
cases, it is very advisable to begin
now. This disease is the greatest ex-
listing plague Of the Negro race. The
duration and affection of the disease
Is exceedingly variable. Some cases
run their course In less than a month;
others continue twenty OF thirty years.
The average number al O rule termin-
ate In one or two years. When a VIC
tim dies after being afflicted only a
short time the disease is called "Gal-
Looping Consumption" and on the 9TH
er hand after another has been sick
for a long time the malady Is called
Lingering Consumption" Years ago
consumption was called a hereditary
disease, but now we often see the
Young or old die with consumption
when there has been no consumption
on either side for generations past.
The tendency to have the disease is
Inherited, but, as aforesaid, II certain
rules are closely adhered to the child
may escape. One Of the early symp-
toms of consumption that usually
manifests itself is a short, dry cough,
exciting 10 particular attention, being
attributed to a slight cold. Beware of
4 slight cold. These colds are treach-
erous, and when the case Is pro-
nounced a heavy cold, you may know
that 1t is a fair warning for Consump-
ton is not at the gate. but at the door
with one foot on the threshold; for to
mankind he never knocks, never calls,
never gives you a single warning or
hint. OF all diseases he is the most
unfair, most unrelenting. | know OF
no animal mentioned In the Bible With
which to compare consumption, unless
1t be the serpent.

MISREPRESENTATION

Smallpox has been reported from
several portions Of West Tennessee.
Residents unusually become very much
excited when several cases or even
n Ease Is discovered in their midst,
and yet smallpox is not the most seri-
GUS of all diseases prevalent in this
Southland. There is a scOurge that
yearly, monthly, yes daily, and I might
venture to say hourly destroys more
victims than any other disease with
which we come in contact, and that
disease is known as "The White
Plague" Lung Trouble" "Tubercu-

to see our loved ones droop and with

DEATH OF MRS. MATTE p. HAD.
DOX.

After an illness of but a few weeks,
death came and took Mrs. Matte P.
HaddoX, who resided at the corner of
Ninth avenue, North, and Gay street,
who was possibly one of the best
known church workers in the city of
Nashville. Mrs. Haddox was the wife
of Mr.. A. G. Haddox and the mother
of Messrs. Charles and Arthur Had
dox of this city, as well as the sister
OF Mrs. Green, Of Murfreesboro, Tenn,
and Mr.. Petway, of this city. The
deceased has been a member of Mt.
Olive Baptist Church since it's organi-
cation twenty years ago. Prior to this
she was a member of the old Spruce
Street Church. Her entire connection
with the church has been one of the
most helpful Of any woman in Nash
vile, her efforts being principally d.
rected to teaching boys. Indeed she
was honored by hundreds of young
men who have sat under her In Sun
day school year after year. Until now
many of them are men of mature
years, who join In the sorrowful SYM
pathy for every member of the family.
The funeral services of Mrs. Haddox
were held at the Mt. Olive Baptist
Church and were conducted by Rev. c..
II. Clark, the pastor. He was assisted
by Rev. r. n. Boyd. Almost the en-
tire membership of the church who
had heard of the death, together with
scores of friends, were present to wit
ness the solemn but impressive cere,
mony. Many and gorgeous we're the
floral designs. Mrs. Haddox was the
leading spirit in the Woman's Mis-
sionary Organization, a teacher in the
Bible Circle, and was connected
prominently with the leading secret
organizations of this city, working in
every movement that would be Of in
terest to her people. Nashville loses
one of her most worthy citizens.
Heaven has gained an addition to It's
host Of saints.

A NASHVILLE PHYSICIAN HON.


AS stated In the jamestown Notes,
.nrinted in another column, DR.. r. r.
Boyd, one of Nashville's most prom
.inent physicians and a surgeon Of ma
tional reputation, has been appointed
as a member Of a special committee
on exhibits in medicine and surgery
at the jamestown exposition. The ap-
nointment is a Just recognition of the
ability of DR.. Boyd and there is no
doubt but that with his accustomed
energy he will be one of the most act
i've of the committee for the success of
the exhibit.
TIL committee proposes the follow
ing as the plans for Negro exhibit in
medicine and surgery:
1. An Emergency Hospital, exhibit
ling a modern Operating Room, CON
tanning appliances, instruments and
apparatus for First Aid to the In
'ured; Anatomical Models, normal
md pathological; special appliances
'or dressing wounds; apparatus for
lsterilizing instruments and appliances
or dressing wounds.
This room is to be presided over by
: physician and two trained nurses
who will be on duty for the treatment
4 any emergency cases.
q. a. Rooms adjoining the operating
Dom. In which will be shown special
hospital charts, displaying clinical
records of patients, together with
UGH other hospital data as are kept by
rained nurses.
b. Jars and cases containing speci.
mems of surgical and pathological in
terest.
C. Displays of normal, pathological,
astrological, and psychological prep
arations.
d. Electricity as applied in thera-
reutics and surgery.
1t Is further planned to publish a
directory of colored physician dentist
md pharmacist. In a letter to DR..
Boyd upon this subject, MI. T. ]. Cal.
loway, the chairman Of the Executive
committee, says:
81 now write to ask for the names
md addresses of all the graduates of
Neharry Medical College. l wish to
use these names in completing a Direc-
DRY of colored physicians, dentists
md pharmacists throughout the
United States. We have compiled
thus far a Directory of about 400. I
resume that the number ought to
reach more than twice that amount"
This letter ELECTED the following in.
')rmation as to the graduates from
Teharry since its birth. There have
been:
S04 graduates from Medicine.
LOT graduates from Pharmacy.
100 graduates from Dentistry.
19 graduates from Nurse Training
Department, making a Grand
Total of
1914 graduates from all the Depart
ments of Meharry."
The directory containing the names
of the graduates from all the schools
in the country will indeed do much to
show the advancement of the Negro
in this special field of activity since
Emancipation.

EXPECT PRESIDENT
TO DECLARE SELF
Politicians Anticipate An
nouncement on Third
Term Position.
Belief That He Will Urge
Candidacy of Secre-
tary Taft.

Political circles are stirred by re-
ports that President Roosevelt viii de-
clare his position on the third-term ques-
ton at an early date. Tho belief is
strurS IN many quarters that he will do
SO on mis- approaching Western TRIP
and will say to the country with a
hnality that can TO longer be question
cd that he will not accept the noml-
nation for another term.
While confirmation OF these reports
has not yet ben given there are many
signs that The President is certain TO
be subjected to such pressure from
members of Congress and others before
he has long been in Washington as to
make 1t impossible for him longer 10 be
some way or other what his intentions
are as to a third term.

one report is that he Will take oc-
easion to define his position In his mes
sage, by recommending a constitutional
amendment that will NIKE third term
impossible While this strictly would
not apply TO his case, it would obviously
make il impossible for him longer to be
considered as a Presidential possibility
1t is expected that in case the Presi-
IN some Of his Western speeches he will
also allude to Secretary Taft's candi-
dacy. and will indorse It In the opin-
ion OF many politicians. the Taft candi-
dacy is being handicapped by uncer-
talnfy as to what the President Will
do. Moreover, the Hughes movement Is
quietly gathering force, the Knox forces
of late have shown many signs or ac-
tivity, and the Fairbanks and Cannon
leaders are not idle,
Pleased With Nebraska Action.
It is becoming more and more clear
the Taft leaders think President Roose-
welt Will clear the way for them There
Is much satisfaction in thu Taft ranks
over the action Of Nebraska Repub-
licans. In State convention the other

larry pleased at the Nebraska action,
