Rio MnnthIv Stamp sale.

Leavenworth, Sept. 5.-During the
month of August of this year the sale
of stamps and stamped paper at the
local postoffice was 20 per cent great
err than the same sales during August
of 1905. Taking into consideration
the fact that the sales during that
month in 1906 were greater by $4,000
than any sales of stamps and stamped
paper that the postoffice ever record
ed, this is a good showing.

THE NEGRO EXHIBIT AT THE
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

Mr.. Thos. j. Galloway, Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the Ne
gro Department of the jamestown Ex-
position, was in the city two days last
week looking after the Negro exhibits
i'll Nashville. While here he was the
guest of DR.. F. G. Smith, the Princi-
pal of Pearl High School. His time
was so short that he could not see but
a few of the persons, who will make
an exhibition of their work. Chief
among these were Fisk University and
the National Baptist Publishing Board.
Mr.. Galloway spoke in glowing terms
OF the Negro Building, which was
erected at cost of 10000. He said
that space was being taken rapidly
and everything pointed to a creditable
exhibit from the Negro race. He was
sorry that Tennessee, which ought to
be foremost in progress and develop
ment was slow to take hold. "This
slowness, however" he said, 'In part
accounted for by the change in the adj
ministratlon of affairs at Washington.
This change necessitated other chang
es all over the country and this caused
a cessation in preparation"
DR.. F. G. Smith has been appointed
to look after Exposition business in
Tennessee, and intended exhibitors
are requested TO consult with him.
Field agents are now appointed in
stead of Commissioners. This change
OF men is in no way a reflection on
previous employees, but simply a
change of administration. Mr.. Gallo
way left for Atlanta to look after ex-
hibits in the state of Georgia.

THE CONDITIONS I'M MEXICO.

A few weeks ago a party Of Ameri-
cans made an extended trip through
Old Mexico. They went on what is
known as the "Raymond-Whitcomb
Excursion" And since returning from
Mexico, they have discussed it and its
conditions as a republic, the treat
ment of its subjects, the positions for
business, profession and other voca-
tions in life. "A member of this party
has lived in Nashville, but his views
are not known nor are the views of
the majority of the members of the
party but it would be interesting to
know just the opinion that one who
has lived in Mexico for the past three
years has formed of this republic The
following is clipped from a letter re-
ceived from the City of Mexico, the
Capitol of the Republic:
"The conditions in Mexico are so
varied that it would take one much
better acquainted with the country
(although I do not claim to be en-
tirely ignorant Of it), in fact, one bet
ter educated than I am to give the
prevailing conditions adequate de-
scription. I will say, however, that
any one with a profession, whether
in the arts, crafts, or everyday busi-
ness life, who can lay claim to be able
to do one thing and do that one thing
well, need not fear coming to Mexico.
OF course, there have been failures
and there will be more; but where
can wn not find then2 COmnefitiOn

quite as mercilessly keen as in the

MURDERoUs ASSAULT.

News has reached Nashville from
Trenton, Tenn, that Quila Partee and
his wife, Ella, living on the farm of
Mrs. Lizzie Fairless in the Eleventh
District, engaged in a quarrel yester-
day, which came near causing the
death of the woman. Mrs. Partee
accused her husband of very seri-
GUS faults, threatening to leave him,
which so enraged him that he Is said
to have grabbed a gun barrel which
was used as fire stick and struck
her over the side of the head, inflict-
ing an ugly wound; and again over
the shoulder and on the back, causing
bad bruises. Not satisfied he snatched
his gun, presenting it to the terrified
woman's breast. She grabbed the bar
rel, forcing it down as it was dis
charged, receiving a flesh wound. The
woman was rescued from death by her
son, who interfered. She is very seri-
ously hurt.
The husband fled but is being hunted
by officers.

GARY & CARUTHERS OPEN NEW
GROCERY STORE ON CEDAR
STREET.
THEIR STAPLE AND FANCY GOODS
BEAR GOVERNMENT PURE FOOD
LABELs-NEGRoES PUSHING TO
THE FRONT IN BUSINESS.

The Negroes of Nashville have Just
cause to be proud of the new up to
date grocery store of Gary & Caruth-
ers that has just been thrown open to
the public. 1t has long been the COM
plant that certain kinds of fancy
groceries could not be purchased from
colored men in that branch Of bust
ness, and the only way to get what
was wanted was to go to place kept
by white man, and though it was not
very pleasant to wait until all the
white customers were served before
being waited on, there was no other
alternative. People from this city
visiting other cities have returned
home lamenting because the colored
merchants here were so far behind
those in other cities, but all Of this
need no longer be heard. Gary &
Caruthers have come to fill this long
felt want, and are fully prepared to
deliver the goods. In their new place,
40 Cedar street, they have as fine a
line of staple and fancy groceries as
can be found in any store in this city.
Every ounce of stuff is fresh and Of
the best brand, and is beautifully ar
ranged. The building is new, having
Just been completed to accommodate
their large stock of goods. They have
not bought up lot of old refuse goods
or Job lots, but have everything fresh
and new. A Globe reporter while
looking over the stock discovered a
dainty box labelled "Jelly." The jar
was encased and the reporter was cur
ious to know just what the package
contained, so asked to be shown one
of the packages, and the label read
thus: 'This package shipped after
Jan. 1, 1907 Is guaranteed under The
Food and Drugs Act, June 80, 1906
of the United States. and under the
Food Law of the States. Dodson-
Braun Manufacturing Company, st.
Louis, Mo-" Every article they have
that comes under the new Pure Food
Law is stamped with Government
approval.
These enterprising men deserve the
patronage Of the Negroes of this city
and also deserve to be paid for their
goods. Mr.. Caruthers in talking to a
Globe reporter said: "All we ask for is
cur share of the patronage Of Nash
ville's generous public" He said they
would endeavor to meet the prices of
the market and would keep a fresh
supply on hand. This store was
oDened not to run during the summer
and then close, but to stay and the
only way they can keep their door
open is for the peoDle to buy their
stuff and pay them for it. The Globe
wishes for them continued prosper

Large and Appreclative Audience List
 en to Miss Hall.
 A large and appreciatlve audience, composed mostly of ladies, attended the piano forte recital Thursday afternoon at the Malley store Miss Lena Estelle Hall was the pianist, using Stein ertcne grand piano. Her program was exceedingly select, comprising the compositions of the prominent modern plano composers. Miss Hall, with her faultless technique and the touch she possesses, brought out the rare quali- ties that live in tn eStelnertone piano. In addition to this, Miss Hall is en- dowed with musical temperament and the rare talent to impart it to her au- dience.
 The various selections upon the Hard- man autotone brought out the marvel ous intricacies of that automatic in- strument and gave the large audience anpl opportunity to compare the rel atlve merits of hand and automatic pianoforte playing.
 The enterprise of both the Malley and the Steinertone company must be mem toned as this delightful musical after noon was mainly due to their efforts.

 The suspicious opening of the hand some new addition to the Hotel Tray more, at Atlantic City, N. J., one week prior to the gay Easter season marked a record In seashore hotel construction. But six months were permitted to elapse between the time that ground was broken for this immense ten story hostetlry and the first day in enetr- talned guests-a condition made possi- ble by favorable weather and the to- l.tal absence of labor troubles.
 Nearly 500 people including fashion ables from many different parts of the country, secured comfortable quartetrs at the new beach front caravansary the very first day it's majestic portals were thrown open, and all of them remained over Easter Over TOO were fed on East CT day, and over 500 applicants could no tbe accommodated.
 It is difficult to imagine more pre- tentious opening for seaside hotel than was accorded the Traymore. So- ciety's devotees, in bright colored East CT fnery, graced the beautiful parlors and drawing rooms, while crowd of smartly dressed women and men, fiit- ting about in kaleidoscopic fashion, gave to the magnificent exchange with it's banked palms, ferns and Easter flowers, the appearance of great ball room in the midst of dress function. The dismal Easter weather was un- noticed within the New Traymore, for President D. s. White and Manager Marquette have provided an excellent orchestra of accomplished musicians, who rendered Easter programs to the great delight of the guests.

They defeated Miss Nora Iselin and Mrs. Barger- Wallach in straight sets by the score of 6-2, 6-2.

She accom- plished nine-tenths of the scoring on her side of the net She was in every rally and her driving and placing were features of the game. Miss Iselin was driven off from the net by the power of Miss Sutton's shots, which, when the ball landed on the racquet, simply turned 1t and made fair return im- possible.
