FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS CAP.
ITAL STOCK.

The recent action of the Bank of
Mound Bayou, which was made by the
board of directors and stockholders of
the institution a few days ago. in
creased the capital stock from twenty
five thousand to fifty thousand dollars
which brings the Negro banking con-
Germs up to higher standard. There
are now only few Negro banks in
the United States with a capital of
fifty thousand dollars. This is not
the only action taken by the Mound
Bayou Bank that needs to be favora-
bly, commented upon. Some stock
holders in this city have been in
formed that the bank will pay it's reg
ular 10 per cent dividend on Deem
her 5. Hence it is to be judged from
this information that the directors
also declared 10 per cent dividend.
The cashier Mr.. Charles Banks, who
IS also president Of the Mississippi
State Business League, devotes his
nhtire time to the bank. While Pres

A NEW ENTERPRISE FOR NASH
WILLIE.

There is nothing that clings to a
race with more tenacity than its mu-
SIC and nothing can be more char
acteristic All races on the globe
have their music-a natural gift that
is as distinct as any feature Of the
people of that race. The American
people being made up of many white
races that have more or less inter
married, have mixed their music I'M
Ill it is impossible to distinguish the
different races by distinctive char
qcteristic The German musicians
have married the Irish the English
have married the French and so on
This condition of affairs compels this
nation to admit to the world that the
only pure and unadulterated music
produced in this country is that Of
the Negro, Familiarity known as "Ju-
bilee Songs" plantation Melodies"
or Folk Songs" This music was
permanently fixed in the minds of the
American people by the African in the
days that were made dark by the eX-
istence of the brutal slave system.
When the burden of grief and perse-
cution weighed heavily upon them
they would send out upon the air in
eloquent tones Swing low sweet
chariot" or Done died, I won't die
no more" They knew no method,
but were singing merely by the nat
ural gift and the world stopped to
listen to their song. They had never
beard anything like it, and were
therefore compelled to accept it as
distinctly original
The institution of slavery has been
blotted out, and forty odd years have
passed since Lee surrendered to
Grant, but the echoes from the field
Of the only original music in Amer
ica are still floating over hill and val
ley. until after years Of persistent
study and research the Negroes of the
present day have planned to give to
the world in artistic form the only
heritage left to them by their eX-slave
parents, namely the Jubilee Music" "
known as plantation Melodies" or
Folk Songs" A company has been
organized in Nashville by the firm
name of Work Bros. & Hart Co., who
will make the publishing of this mu-
sic a speciality. The Work brothers
ore known throughout the length and
breadth of the country as profession
II musicians. Thew have spent years
in scientific study Of the Negroes
musical abilities and are fully pre-
pared to put this music before the
public in first-class stvIe Mr.. Hart
IS one of the best posted men in the
country on matters pertaining to pub
fishing. and the outlook for the com
Dany is one of UNPRECEDENTED success
Nashville may well feel proud that
she has in her midst citizens who are
doing so much to preserve the integ-
rity of a race Of people whose history
is unparalleled.

The forty-first annual session of the
Tennessee Conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church came to
a close Monday night, October &c,
and one of the most interesting ses-
sions of this body ever held passed
into history when Bishop H. B. Parks
read the last appointment and the
benediction had been pronounced.
This session of the conference was in.
teresting from many points of view.
First, it is the oldest conference of
the A. NJ f. Church in this State.
Secondly, Bishop Evans Tyree, the
only bishop of Tennessean birth ever
elected in the African Methodist
Church, was present. Again, it is
where the correctional educational
institution in this state is located;
and it was the first session of this
conference ever presided over by
Bishop Parks. All of these things
added to the interest of the meeting.
From Wednesday morning. October
q, to Monday, October &c, every ses
sion grew more and more inspiring.
Presiding was vying with presiding,
and pastor with pastor, and all the
people of Shelbyville were appar.
emily actively engaged in lending
their aid to make the meeting a sue.
cess. The church was not large
enough to accommodate the crowds
and hundreds were turned away from
each session. Everything possible
was done to make the stay of the Wis
itors pleasant. There were several
changes in the pastors of the church
in this city, as will be seen from the
list of appointments. In the case of
st. John A. NJ e. Church the change
did not come as a surprise to the
members, as they were appraised of
this two weeks beforehand.
Special stress was laid on educa-
ton by Bishop Parks, and every mem
Der Of the Conference seemed to catch
the spirit When the election of
trustees for the school was held the
name of D. A. Hart president of the
Globe Publishing Company was pre-
sented Mr.. Hart was not present,
having been called to his home on ur-
gent business, he was. however,
elected as one of the trustees from
the Tennessee Annual Conference.
Mr. Hart is superintendent of the Sun
day-school and trustee of st. John
A. M. r. Church and has been very
active in the interest of Turner Nor
NAL College.
The grand total amount raised for
all purposes was $3,4O752 OF dollar
money raised the Nashville District,
T. w. Haigler presiding elder, re.
ported $603.62; the South Nashville,
G. L. Jackson, presiding elder $685..

presiding elder $3.50. The conference
paid off $500 of old debts. It raised
over 81, 500 for education for the sup
port of Turner Normal College at this
place. The increase over all moneys
raised last year was S706 high
spirit of enthusiasm prevailed in al
sessions of the conference. Bishop
Parks, by his inspiring addresses and
sermons, infused into the conference
determination to especially increase
all the general claims, and besides
to raise in the District Conference
$1,000 towards a new dormitory al
the college.
