OBITUARY OF REV. WILLIAM
LAWRENCE, WHO DIED SAT-
URDAY, NoVEMBER7 7, 1903.

William Lawrence was born and
reared here in Nashville, where he
spent most of his life in the moral
and religious development of his peo-
pie. He professed religion when a
mere boy and joined the Christian
Church AS he grew strong in his re-
ligious convictions he felt a call to
the ministry, and preached the Cos
for many years. He was twice mar
ried, both of his wives preceded him
to that beautiful land of rest and
were amongst the millions of angels
to welcome him home last Saturday
morning, when the weary wheel OF
life stood still, and his spirit took its
fight to the God who gave it.
To his first happy marriage five
children were born. They have all
gone to rest Three grand children
and four great grand children survive
him. These are the offspring of his
oldest daughter, Mrs. Martha Por-
terrified. Mr.. Charles Lawrence, with
whom he lived, and in whose home he
died, is the son of his second wife,
Mrs. Lucretia Lawrence, who was one
of the most famous cooks of Nash
vile.
: Rev. Mr.. Lawrence was a true race
man and labored constantly to unite
our people, He belonged to several
societies and was always present at
their meetings to encourage and
cheer the members in their work.
He was among the first to organize
Negro societies. He was the last OF
founders of the Sons of Relief and
Daughters of Relief and Ladies Be
nevolent Society. These societies will
miss him. The church with which
he was connected and to which he
was intensely devoted will miss him.
Mr.. Lawrence was. a public-spirited
citizen and took a deep interest in all
public men and public affairs.
Though blind for many years, he was
well informed and knew well the men
and times in which he lived, He was
carpenter by trade and served this
trade till blind and unable to see the
tools and materials with which he
worked. He was a devotedt friend a
safe counsellor and true Christian
gentleman. Rev. William lawrence
was the highest type of Gods noble.
men. Let the present generation pro
duce many of his kind. He has
heard the welcome plaudit, "Wel

Negroes are surprising themselves in
the way in which they are taking to
this new fad. The toy itself will be
supplied by the Negro Doll Company,
local firm under the management of
Nashville Negroes. A beautiful char
acteristic of this new enterprise is
that it is not a UNCONVENTIONAL affair.
There is no religion connected with
it. The Negroes of Nashville have in
this one instance dispensed with their
religious ideas They are supporting
this solidly as a race. The manager
of the Negro Doll Company, H. A.
Boyd, said yesterday to an American
reporter that it was surprising to see
orders coming from Tacoma and Seat
tie, Washington, Pennsylvania, Cali
fornia. Illinois and Massachusetts as
fast as they are coming from any of
the extreme Southern cities. Mound
Bayou, Miss, a Negro town, has so
far sent in the largest order to the
factory. All in all, the Negro Doll
Company will mean that Nashville
has added another international enter
prise. 1t means the employment OF
hundreds of Negroes and the advance
ment Of Nashville in many lands. No
doubt but that the Board OF Trade
and Nashville in general will welcome
new factory and new enterprise
that is calculated to add so much to
the city. Negro organizations, religious
and secular, fraternal and social, p
over the country, are indorsing and
pledging their support. The Fedora
ton of Colored Women's Clubs of IL
linois led off, and then followed the
State Convention Of Illinois, and so on
down to Florida. ccording to reports
reaching this city,

GETS FIRST VICTORY
N. H. H. s. Eleven Thrashes Ridgefield School in Well
 Played Contest.
FORWARD PASS EFFECTIVE
Alderman, Frankel and Flanagan Play Strong Game--Good Practice Be-
 fore Erasmus Game.
(specInI to tbe .Jovrn,I cour,er,l


 Ridgefeld Oct 1S.-The N H. H s. eleven secured it's first victory of the season when 1t met and downed the Ridgeield eleveAat the local gridiron, The contest was battle between the old and new football tactics, the local high resorting to quaint formations and the visiting eleven dashing off all kinds of forward passes and onside kicks which only added credit to their coach, Percy Smith and swept the Ridgfield football contingent off its feet.
 Not more than five minutes transpir- ed before a well executed pass from Connolly to Alderman netted the Elm City high their first touchdown. Capt. Davis kicked the goal
 The forward passes to Alderman were a source of great gain throughout the contest and kept the local athletes and their two teachers on the jump Frank. el and Flanagan sparkled for the line men Frankel broke through the Ridgeield formations and fell on the pigskin twice, and materially assisted the New Haven high In their winning. Flanagan worked like a Trojan and well took care of the snap back posi- ton.
 Although the visitors worked well their score should have been a greater one for they had the locals completely at their mercy with their new forma- tons Gorham was the main obstacle for the visitors, and after good line plungng scored the only touchdown for the locals.
 The second touchdown scored by New Haven came after forward pass from Dunn to Connolly and Flfeld's unas- sisted plunge through the line for a touchdown. Capt Davis failed to kick the goal.
 A better practice game for New Ha- ven high before their game with Eras- mus Hall next Saturday morning could not have been secured Although the visitors were handicapped by the ab- sence of both Saxe and Muse still they had brilliant opportunity to test the effectiveness of their play.

NAVY LEADS IN FOOTBALL SCORES Middies Accumulate More Points Than Any of the Larger Colleges in
 America.

 Than Ever.

Boston, Mass, Oct, 1S-Mid-s season In American college football finds the Naval academy team leading the larg- CT colleges of the country in points scoring The Navy also, with Har- ward, Yale and Chicago, has unsullied goal posts As Harvard and the Mid- dies meet on Saturday one or both may drop back into the ruck
 The football season so far has been marked with fewer accidents than ever before in the history of the game. The notifications of the rules have proved advantageous and the opening out of the play with manifold varia- tions has made the sport more enjoy able from the spectators standpoint as has been shown in the decided in- crease in the attendance. The fall weather this year has also been fav- orable to q comfortable enjoyment of the sport, while the unusual proiong- ing of the Indian summer has brought nearly every team down to bedrock playing weight.
 The midweek games are about oyer and the sport has become so ariuous that one hard contest every Saturday will be sufficient for all teams from now on
 A summary of the games played by the leading colleges shows that tho Navy has scored ll7, points in four games to nothing for its opponents. Harvard has scored 93 points 10 noth- { ing in five games, Yale 46 to nothing in four games, and Chicago 79 to nothing in three games Princeton's ! clean score on the defepsive was spoil cd yesterday when the Virginia Poly | technic kicked goal from the field. but the Tigers had previously shown some weakness for on october 10tn Lafayette held them without score.

 All the large college teams in the Middle States have been scored on with the exception of Lafayette, while in the Middle West, Minnesota Ne braska and Wisconsin have also clean scores. Minnesota and Nebraska, however, met on Saturday for q noth- ing to nothing game.
