the cause of such? and such being true
are we going to sit around with our
fingers in our mouth like sucking
babes and stand for such abuses to be
heaped upon us? No, a thousand times
no. The first thing to be done is to
find the cause and then remedy the
cause. If the president is responsible
for such conditions and refuses to
break them up, we say get another
president, for there are other men who
will make just as good, yes, a better
president If he hasn't the backbone
or nerve to stand for the right, then
we don't need him; the quicker we rid
ourselves of such a man the better it
will be for the University. This age
demands that we be men and act like
men and not babies. The trouble is,
1--WE white teachers can't eat in the
dining-room with the niger teachers
nor eat what they eat" Is it possible
that the few white teachers here have
been used to so much more in the
North than we Negroes down here,
or is it the prejudice that naturally
was in their veins? 1t cannot be the
former so it must be the latter. be-
cause there are one or more both white
and colored teachers who have come
from Just as far North or East as the
others and who are used to having
as much or more and these few can
or must put up with the eating IN
the dining-roOm with the students and
other colored teachers. If these can
do so or must do so why not let the
others do so or get out. Let their con-
sciences be their guide as is what to
do We have one teacher (white) in
the person of Miss Seaver who is
from the North. yet she eats with the
colored teachers and really enjoys
the company of the student body
Can you account for it? Yes, here
it is. She is simply a perfect lady.
When asked to join the other white
teachers in their coy little dining
room she was heard to say that she
enjoyed being with the students and
refused to 60 Miss MayL,ie Braden,
the oldest teacher on the faculty and
too a noble woman, is highly indig
nant over the affair DR.. M. c. B.
Mason, one of the most able orators
of our race delivered an address last
week and Miss Maymie Braden was
the only white teacher save the Presi-
dent who was present Can you not
tell by that that there is some
thing wrong somewhere? The student
body does not endorse such actions
and unless some step is taken to stop
or break up the same, they will adopt
some methods themselves, and we the
colored citizens of Nashville are ready
and willing to give them our loyal sup
port.

score of to 0 in favor of Fisk, a
touchdown being made by Mr.. B. L..

son it was splendidly attended and
every one seemed to enjoy it.
After the game there was piano
recital in Memorial Chapel by Miss

FOOTBALL.
Atlanta Ga, October II, 1908
The Baptist College Tigers triumphed
over Athens this afternoon in a de-
cisive manner. The maroon and white
rolled up a score of "a points, while
the lads from Athens did not even
seriously threaten the Tigers goal
line at any stage of the game. For a
few brief moments in the opening
half. Athens showed great strength,
her right-half broke through the line
and with a clear field started towards
the goal. but he was tackled so hard
that he fumbled the ball. After that
Athens never had a look-in. Both
teams worked hard from the begin
ming to the end. The big score does
by no means tell the hard struggles
for victory. Both teams played great
ball. Davis and Madison were still
at the ends, Arnold and Window in
guard, Bob and "Vic" Turner's held
their places as tackle, Zuber at quar-
ter. while the great triumvirate, c.
Hubert, B. Hubert and Wade played
great ball in the back-feld. Zuber
used much wisdom in running his
team fast and hurting his mighty
backs repeatedly against old Athens
sturdy sons so fast that they quickly
succumbed to the on-slaughter. This
is Wades first game and he made a
remarkable showing in the back-field.
They played thirty minute halves.
TIE weather was ideal and the crowd
medium. A. B. c. 81, Athens 0.

NEWMAN news IS
SCARCE HERE NOW

The matter of beginning work on
the rebuilding of the burned portion of
the J. J. Newman Company's mill is
still unsettled insofar as local infor-
nation is concerned.
That the action of the city council
in exempting the plant from taxation
by changing the boundaries of the city
so as to cut 1t out of the city limits,
will tend to hasten the rebuilding of
the plant is admitted, but there is no
one in the offices of the company to-
day who is prepared to say that It
will cause immediate rebuilding.
The absence Of Mr.. Peck from the
city cuts off that high source of in
formation from local inquirers, al
together likely that the matter Of
awarding the contract for the rebuild
ing is making progress at Scranton,
where the final details of the deal will
have to be contaminated.

Ethel Maxwell, a notorious woman

The bullet had struck her in the

leave, and he refused, threatening to
shoot her. The woman got her own
pistol and ordered him out. He stood
in the hall and fired at her, the first
bullet striking her in the heart. He
then fired two more bullets through

There was one other girl in the

shooting, but she had the Mysteries

her.
There were three or four other
young men in the house, all trying to
get Ferguson out of the building, but
he refused to go till he had used his
pistol, and then took his departure.

Several Genuine Specimens Have
Been Sent to Commissioner
Blakeslee at Jackson.
DELTA PLANTERS TO
DISCUSS The PEST
Steps Will Be Taken to Prevent Fur
Their Infection, if Possible-Too Late
for the WeeviI to Do Serious DAM
age This yea.

Jackson, Miss, October 3.-Commis-
sioner Blakesle has received three spe-
cimens of what he pronounces the gen.
uine Mexican boil weevil, sent him by
Mr.. j. F. Smith, prosperous farmer
living in Copiah County, near the
Kinds County line, a few miles south
east from Utica.
In letter accompanying the insects
two of which are still alive, Mr.. Smith
states that they were depredating in
his cotton fields, and he pronounced
them weevils. He asked Mr. Blakeslee
if his diagnosis is correct, and his re-
ply will be to the effect that it is.
Mr.. Blakeslee states that he is hav-
ing numerous requests from localities
where the boil weevil has appeared
or is expected to appear by next year,
to arrange meetings and have experts
deliver addresses or lectures on the
subject, so that when the weevil be.
gins to get in his deadly work next
year, as all the experts agree that he
must, they will be better prepared for
his coming.
1t is now too late for any great
harm to result this year at any point
in this state, but with few specimens
scattered here and there, and with
their prolific breeding qualities. there
is no reason to hope that the work
of the insect will not do much harm
by next year.
It will be recalled that for the past
two years the government experts
have been at work all over the state,
warning the farmers of the approach
of the insect, and that they have had
such small audiences and so little en-
couragement in their educational work
along this line that very few farm
ers now anything about the very
things that Uncle Sam paid these ex-
perts to teach thief 1t at least illus
trates the fact that the farmer is not
different. from other men in that they
begin to appreciate danger only when
they see it before them.
One Of the biggest meetings of the
year in which the boil weevil will be
the chief theme, will be the Farmers
Institute at Greenville on October 16,
which has been worked up largely
through the efforts of Director ]. w.
Fox, of the Delta Experiment Station.
For this occasion also, Commission
er Blakeslee has been asked to obtain
some good speakers among the ex-
perts, among them being Mr.. Evans, of
Shreveport, La, who is one of Uncle
Sans best men along that line. and
who attracted much attention and IA
vorable comment on account of his !
splendid business-like speech at Nat
chez during the institute session
there.
