have always endeavored to be
practical in my conclusions, and am
ever conscious and solicitous of the
good of the Church in which | have
spent my life and labor, and it does
seem to me, that since d. A. Hart,
being available and a high-grade
Methodist, it will be a great stroke
of fine judgment if the General Con-
ference of my Church should elect
this brilliant young man to the Sec
retaryship of the Sunday School
Union. That organization needs a
specialist, and we happen to have the
best equipped specialist that the race
affords right in our own organization.
There is no viewpoint in which the
matter appears but that Mr.. Hart
stands out conspicuously as the one
man for the place. With his magnifi-
cent record of constructive success
behind him with his inherent devotion
to his Church to spur him on, he
would make the Sunday School Union
what it should be, the model of intel
Hgent Negro printing and publishing
enterprise in the world
If D. A. Hart should be elected, such
of the old guard as the writer repre-
SCENTS would return to our duties with
a kindly thought that our own work
among the young Methodists had been
compensated; and the young people
would be pervaded by new ambition.
1t would be easier for us to teach the
child to aspire because of living eX-
ample in our own Church, wherein ii
could be shown that merit had been
rewarded and our prophecies and pre-
cepts had been proven.
1t matters not how the candidacy
of d. A. Hart appears, whether in
sentiment or practicability, he is the
one man and the most available man
for the position of Secretary. He has
spent nearly twenty years fitting him
self for the place; he has lived mod
ell active Christian life that he might
have moral fitness; his ability and
foresight would provide a panacea for
all the ills that seem to beset one of
our most important departments and
he should be elected.

was the only place That affOrded him
chance to advance his knowledge,
and it was decided at that time not
to replace the printing machinery
which was destroyed. But Hart was
made of sterner stuff. He determined
to keep eternally at his profession,
and finally became a porter in the
largest printing house in the South,
at which position he remained for
two years On account of his being a
colored man he was not permitted to
use his hands in printing, but the most
virulent case of colorphobia could not
restrain him from using his eyes, He
watched the progress of the art, and
swept the floor, all of the time max
ing mental notes and placing them
aside for future reference
Finally DR. R. H. Boyd came to
Nashville and started the National
Baptist Publishing House, and with
this event came Harris opportunity.
With the exception of a very short
period since 1898, during which time
he was connected with the Sunday
SchGoi Union, he has been by the side
of DR.. Boyd and has been the strong
est attribute in the wonderful sue
cess of that institution.
At present he is superintendent and
has under his immediate charge more
than $150,000 worth of machinery and
printing materials. He went to New
York to learn the linotype and came
back to- Nashville and installed them
in his institution. He buys in the
Nashville market each year between
$4,000 and 100000 worth of plain
white paper for the printing of the
literature of the house with which he
is connected. Under his charge are
nearly two hundred men and women,
every one of whom Is colored, and the
quality of the work turned out is Sec
ond to none that is done in the coun-
try.
With all this he has reduced the
cost of production in such manner
that he is permitted to go into open
competition with the leading white
printing establishments in the coun-
try, and they have learned to stir their
stumps when they know that D. A.
Hart is bidding against them on large
contracts.
This young man is a specialist in
his line and to return to the text he
has shown what wonderful possibili-
ties are in store for the man who
sticks to one thing and continues to
study and practice what he learns.
Mr.. Hart was born in the A. M. e.
Church, grew up under it's influence.
and now in the city of Nashville
there is no more earnest, devoted and
capable churchman than is this young
specialist. He has studied the growth
of commercial and lodge printing,
aside from the church and Sunday
school division of the business. In
fact, he has probably done more than
any one to develop this sort of print
ing. He fully understands just where
this business is in the South, and
knows how to get it. After getting it
in hand he knows how to conduct its
completion in a manner which brings
profit to the house with which he is
connected and satisfaction to the pa
iron. This sort of business has grown
to be a great consideration within the

and the progress of the times de,

The character and intelligence of
the connection is faithfully reflected
by the quality of its literature The
ecclesiastical gin hand" is almost
criminally out of place here. The
lines of friendly rivalry, not to say
competition, are drawn so sharply be-
tween the various colored church de-
nominations, that it behooves each
church to thresh out the highways,
byways and hedges and bring out the
best men-men who are thoroughly
conversant with the technique of
printing and publishing. If such a
man should happen to be minister
of the Gospel, put him forward; but,
as is more likely to be the case, if
he is a layman, place him at the head
of the department and make him. sue

Printing is a delicate art, and pub
fishing is thing apart. This is where
the law Of specializing comes in.
Many people, and thoughtful people
at that, are inclined to run these two
kindred avOcations the one into the
other. D. A. Hart is the only man /
know who has done this successfully.
In church affairs printing is the manu-
facture of church and Sunday-school
literature, and publishing is the dis.
tribution of this matter and collecting
the money for it.
Soon after l went to Nashville,
Tenn, some years ago to take charge
of st. Johns Church met d. A. Hart,
who has since risen to the distinction
of being the best qualified Negro
printer and publisher in the country.
l say that | met him, and that was a
foregone conclusion. You just could
not keep from meeting him. If you
had an occasion to visit any printing
office you were sure to stumble over
young Hart. He veritably haunted
such places. With me he came to be
a sort of synonym for printing. If |

Col, J, O. Marshall Dead.
Columbia Record.

The death of Col. ]. @ Marshall OF
Columbia, which occurred Yesterday,
at Buffalo Lithia Springs, Va, will
cause general regret throughout the
state. Col. Marshall was widely
known and was held in the highest
esteem. He was q noble, patriotic, up
right South CarOlinian.
Col. Marshall had been in i'll health
for several years, suffering from KID
new trouble and rheumatism and hls
heart was involved, 80 that 1t was
known to himself and to his friends
that he might at any time die sud:
denly. Nevertheless, as his health bad
recently been excellent, the news OF
his death ia a shock.
Col. Marshall is the type of citizen
that can be i'll spared. Just now he
was engaged in a most important
work for Columbia, as he was chair
man of the street commission which
ia struggling with the problem OF
having Main street and he had gone
| into this work with his characteristic
energy and courage. =,
The father of Quitman Marshall
was the gallant ]. Foster Marshall OF
Abbeville, the second colonel Of Orr's
regiment, who fell at the first battle
of Manassas. Quitman Marshall was
born in Abbeville, but had lived In
Columbia since early manhood. He
was serving as magistrate in Colum.
| lbia when Wade Hampton was elected
governor and it was he who admins.
tered the cath of office to General
Hampton as governor. Young Mar
shall had done fine service in the
Hampton campaign. He was at that
time prominent in the local militia
and in social circles in Columbia. He
was appointed by Governor Richard
son to serve an unexpired term as
secretary of state.
After this he returned to the prac'
tiee of law in Columbia and was very
successful at the bar. He was the
first president and one of the organic
ers of the company which built the
first electric street railway in Colum'
bia, which was at first operated by
horse cars. His fight to maintain this
company was one of his most sigma
service 10 the city and required ability
of first order.
In 1898 Col. Marshall was elected
to the state senate from Richland
county, and was reelected in 1906
without opposition. He was not 8
candidate for third term. During
his services in the senate he was chair
man of the commission to complete
the state house and only within the
last few months did he complete biz
work, the commission being continued
in power for several years. He
developed the matter which was
brought out in connection with the
work done on the capitol under the
supervision of Architect Milburn
which was sensation at the time.
His work on the state house commits.
sion was another characteristic service
rendered the state,
When the Columbia street commits
sion resigned several months ago, Col.
Marshall was elected by city council
and then was made chairman and
had devoted much time to this work
since that time.
He was chairman of the commission
appointed by Governor Hayward tc
