THE POST-OFFICE.

At one time the officials in the local
post-office were extremely sensitive to
criticism. They would rush into print
to defend themselves of even the sus
picion of charge. But now, they
have grown so fat feeding on steam
roller" rations, that they pay no at
tention to the general rumOrs that
things are made so unbearable to Ne
groes securing positions in the Office
that everyone who possibly can gets a
transfer to some other department or
to a post-office in another city. Per-
haps these gentlemen have their posi-
lions fixed for four years more and
care nothing for the complaints.
Maybe they rest assured that the en-
gineer of the steam roller" will be
in place of power after the 4th Of
March, 1909, and care not what the
Negroes and that damn little Globe"
may say. Gentlemen of the steam
roller brigade" you have a few Ne.
groes following and supporting you.
We seriously doubt if there is single
person among these but wants an Of
flee; but you owe it to them, to protect
their self-respeet by explaining why
so few Negroes care to remain in the
local post-office. Speak out, Maj. Wills
and save your loyal supporters from
the charge of sycophantism, cowardice
and lack of loyalty to the race. The
columns of The Globe are open to you
providing you do not make your ar.
ticie too long We might add to the
Major that The Globe is also open for
an explanation of the Erie, Pa, speech.
Tennessee should be in the republi-
can column when all the returns are
in from the November election. But
will such a result be accomplished?
We think not Federal officers are OF
more Importance than local victories
to the pie brigade" They do not
care to win in this state. The last
campaign and the "I-wont-hear-you-for
one-minute" tactics prove this beyond
a question Of reasonable doubt. They
do not want the Negro, but they will
find that if they ever take a notion tc
fight for a statewide victory they will
have to take the race into considera
ton.

GLOBE SUBSCRIBERS IN THE
WEST,

There comes to the Nashville Globe
a batch of subscribers from the Far
West, away out on the Pacific Coast.
They were induced to subscribe for
the paper by reading several copies
that were passed over to them by Mr..
David e. Brown, of Pasadena, Cal,
the father of the celebrated violinist,
Miss Hester o. Brown. II he parties
expressed themselves as being well
pleased with the high-class matter
contained in each weeks issue of the
Globe, as well as the general appear
ance and neatness of the paper," said
Mr.. Brown in sending in the names.
Noticeable among the prominent on
the list are Mr.. Abel H. Evans and
Mr.. John Martin, of Pasadena, and
Rev. R. F. Jones, of Los Angeles.
These three gentlemen were espe-
cially extravagant in the praise of
the paper, declaring tina, the West
has not yet produced a journal the
equal of the Globe.

PLEASANT TIME BY FISHING
PARTY.

On last Tuesday Bishop Tyree, Mr..
A. McEwen and Prof, Richard HillI
went out on a fishing trip. Bishop
Tyree carried his gun to help supply
the pleasures of the day. The party
went by pike to the Stones River,
where they proceeded to fish and fish.
They were so busy driving the fish up
to the baited hooks that they forgot to
keep up with the weather calendar,
and so it rained. Bishop Tyree had
gone out to find squirrel and Prof.
Hill had taken the horse to water. He
soon realized, however, that all that
was necessary was for the horse to
hold his head up and the water would
run in. The rain came down in tor
rents. Bishop Tyree managed to out
run the shower and make 1t to shelter
Mr.. McEwen fished right on through
the storm. He caught one great big
white sucker" Snakes, turtles, ETC.,
had to bare their share of the lead in
their backs. The party spent very
pleasant day, and all returned full of
glee and dampness,

GEN. LUKE WRIGHT.

Criticism of President Roosevelt
for the appointment of Gen. Luke
Wright, of Memphis, as Secretary Of
War, has assumed such a phase Of sill
illness as to make it ridiculous. Sim
ply because Gen. Wright is from a
Southern state, some of the Northern
papers assume that he is a Negro
hating, unreconstructed democrat" SO
full of race prejudice that it oozes out
from every pore of his body. The fact
that he was a Confederate soldier, in
their opinion, puts him beyond the
pale of a just appreciation Of what
ever good qualities he may possess.
These radicals who are criticising
Mr.. Roosevelt on account of Gen.
Wright are following the course Of
Ben Tillman. They criticize simply be-
cause they are at odds with Roosevelt.
One of the best tests of a mans worth
is what his neighbors think Of him.

"eREATER NASHVILLE EDITION.
The Nashville Globe Planning to Bring
Out Such a Number.

The management Of the Nashville
Globe has decided to bring out a
Greater Nashville" edition of the
Nashville Globe. This was discussed
at its annual meeting, but the exact
time for issuing the number was not
then definitely decided. 1t has now
been agreed that the better time for
bringing out this special number
would be about the middle of August
or just before the opening of the
schools and colleges. In other words
about Harvest time" The plan is to
have the Nashville Globe take up
every profession, every business and
every industry in this great city, and
to show to what extent the Negro is
interested, and just what part he is
playing in the religious, professional,
business and financial world-at least
that part of it played by the Negro in
Greater Nashville.
A Globe representative has been in
struced to call on the business and
professional men Of the city to solicit
their cooperation in making this
Greater Nashville Edition" the great
est movement ever put on foot by a
Negro newspaper in the United States.
The churches are urgently requested to
join in the movement. The manage
ment of the Globe states that it is
their desire to have a cut and a short
write-up of each church and every
business concern doing a large or a
small amount of business in this city.
The people outside the city and the
state do not know the advantages to be
derived in Nashville nor do they know

In the death of Joel Chandler Har-
ris America has lost one of her best
known literary men. In his Uncle
Remus stories Mr. Harris gathered
the folk lore Of our race and gave to
the world the tales of Brer' Rabbit
that had delighted the youth of the
South almost if not from the introduc-
ton, of African slavery. Mr. Harris
was a kindly disposed man and was
beloved by all who knew him. His ar
ticle in the Saturday Evening Post
something over a year ago in which he
took a remarkably broad position for
man born and reared in the South
will be recalled with feeling of deep
sorrow that Uncle Remus could not
remain with us longer to scatter good
will, peace and sunshine.

The democrats have seen a light and
are seriously discussing whether an
open bid should be made for the Ne
gro vote in the doubtful states. Of
course, no one expects that party to
take an open stand on the question on

the discussion of the suggestion shows
that many of the foresighted leaders
realize that white mans party" can
not win national elections.

FROM the principles Of our forefathers,
who founded this country in order that
they might worship as they saw fit.

Every legislator now at Montpelier
ought to read and think over and heed
the following from a recent speech
of Gov. Hughes of New York. For
one the Monitor would like to see some
Is or so of Vermont's statutes repealed
or enforced. A dead law is worse than
none. ..We have too much of ten
dencyl to-day to rush law for RENE
dies for existing evils, the evils that
are based upon questions of Individual
morality and individual narrow mind
edness, of individual evil or of the in
dividual lack of this or that virtue.
We are too apt to pass laws and the
moment a law is passed to say this or
that evil has been exterminated and
wiped out while we know as matter of
fact that it is not the passing of law,
it is the enforcing Of the law alone
that can remedy an evil, and the more
laws you pass that are not enforced
the more you are apt to lessen the re-
spect which the people pay to them
and the less you are able to improve
the natural moral tone. All laws
should be enforced or no laws should
be enforced. A law should either be
enforced or repealed but it often takes
great deal more moral courage to
recommend the repeal of law which
is having no effect at all on the peo-
pie than to recommend the passage of
a law which is intended to affect the
morals Of the people.

THE SALE OF MORPHINE, ETC.

The Barre Times, in the course of
an. editorial of 1.-THE Sale of Poisons. /"
says: Vermont now has law which
requires the filing of sales of poisons
by an apothecary, druggist or other
persons who deals in the wares. 1t
would look more sensible to erase the
other person and entrust the sale of
the deadly substances to only regularly
licensed pha .macists Therein the
state could take good step. And
there is growing demand for more
restricted sale of the poisons'' If.
by the ''other person. referred to is
meant the country store or the dealer
in general merchandise who is in the
habit of selling such drugs as NOR
phine, opium, laudanCm, carbolic acid.
etc., without even taking the precau-
tion to label the article purchased,
then it is high time that the sale of
such deadly substances be entrusted
only to persons who are qualified to
handle them in an intelligent and
painstaking manner.
The question of selling poisons,
especially those enumerated above,
has always been a somewhat trouble
some one. and has been given much at.
tention by all who handle them. The
legislature which. in measure. re-
stricted the sale. is to be commended
for it's good work along this line, but
abuses still remain. On every hand
we see the results of the improper use
of morphine. cocaine. choral and other
stimulating drugs. in the physical and
mental wrecks. both man and women.
1t is probable that these drugs cause
more suffering. more marital unhap.
piness, more deaths. than all the in
toxicating liquor sold in the country
yet no prescription is required to pro.
cure them except in the case of mi.
nors while in towns waere druggists
are licensed to sell intoxicants the law
is very strict, requiring a physician Z
prescription to procure the smallest
amount. This is not right and the
, Legislature should take steps to RENE.

might publicly express their gratitude

With deep appreciation of the beauty
of this time honored custom. and in
sympathy with the devout spirit which
gave it birth and perpetuity. I deslg-
nate Thursday, the 26th day of Novem-

the people of this state. =
The high purpose of the day being
to deepen the spiritual life of the peo-
pie by the realization of the presence
of God, His bounty and munificence
browning the year with His goodness,
personal pleasure and social enjoy
ment should give place to public and
private meditation on the manifest
mercies received by us from the Divine
Hand.
The blessings of liberty; prosperity
on every hand; the deepening interest
in education; the quickening Of the
public conscience on questions of tenn
perance: the growing intelligence of
the people; the spirit Of friendliness
between labor and capital the deeper
reverence for law through an enlight-
ened public opinion the high standard
of public and private life maintained
among all classes; abundant opportu-
nifty for labor, and its just rewards
all these blessings and the spiritual as
pirations everywhere manifest should
awaken within us the profoundest
gratitude, and fill our hearts with radi-
ant hope for the future.
By ministry to need, sympathy with
sorrow, charity with the unfortunate,
we shall realize more deeply and see
more clearly the Fatherbood of God
and the Brotherhood of men, and so
transmit to the future the high ideals
wrought out in Service, which we have
received from the past.

Last Monday saw the beginning
of the end of the affairs of the State
Bank and Trust Company says the
Carson Appeal. Judge Langan
appointed f. l.. Wildes, at present
Deputy State Treasurer to the
position of receiver of the State
Bank, and his bond is 81 100000.
The 'uflieers of the bank were
placed on the stand and their
testimony revealed the fact that
but $50, 1870 in cash now re-
mains in the vaults of the chain OF
banks and is $4,000 less than the
banks closed with last October.
Cashier Davis was asked what had
been done with the $4,000 and he
answered that he did not know
but thought that the books of the
bank would show. The fees for
counsel of the bank and for the
services Of Mr.. Shaw of the reha bi-
litating committee has come out Of
the funds of the bank. This a
mounted to $500 and $3.50 expen-
ses.
Mr.. Davis further stated that the
deposits at the present time a
mounted to 81, ,l3l ,679.05 and
that the cash on hand was
$50, ,390.07, and according TO these
figures the attorney for the State
claims an insolvency amounting to
1851 ,06907.
