printing that is to be done for the
Church. Draw your map well and
study it carefully. Fix the distance
between these departments. You say
they are all independent So is every
state in the Union, but each one is rep
resented at the central government by
few chosen men. And before these
special agents can accomplish their
work they must unite their forces.
The government could not afford to
maintain a congressional hall in every
state, and could never pass bill, for
it would require all the time Of each
session for the reading clerk to go
from state to state and read the presi-
dents message. And the main trou-
BILE with our printing as denomina-
ton is it is too scattered. There is
not enough printing in the Church to
maintain five establishments on a
profitable basis. True all of them are
not attempting to conduct printing
house. but each of the departments
referred to must have an office. And
of the five only two are located in
buildings that belong to the church
Therefore, three are paying rent to
some one, and this works hardship
on the Church and the departments as
we'll.
Would you have central building
and locate all of these departments in
it?
Yes.
Would you require the manager Of
this central building to furnish these
departments quarters free?
No; not if they are to conduct
separate business.
Then how would it help the Con-
nection and the departments?
The Connection would receive the
rent money that is now being paid to
outside parties. The departments
could be housed cheaper in one build
ing than they can be in five separate
buildings.
Where would you locate this build
ing?
In Nashville, Tenn.
Why would you select that city?
First, because it is the most cen
trally located among the membership
of our Connection?
Secondly, because there are more
church printing houses located in that
city than any in the South These
institutions are of great help to each
other in more ways than space will
admit me to mention here, but suffice
to say that their work is of kindred
natures and a friendliness exists be-
tween them all seldom seen among
manufacturing concerns.
Does it cost any more to mail a
package from Philadelphia or New
York to San Francisco than it does
from Nashville?
No. but it does cost more to ship
the same package by express, and it
requires more time to send it by mail
or express.

GLOBE HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING.
Elects Officers for 1903.


At the last annual meeting of the
Globe Publishing Company, at which
the annual reports of all the officers
were made, and the years report was
carefully gone over, it was decided
that for 1908 The Nashville Globe
would be run on the same wide-awake,
journalistic basis as in the past two
years, except that more improvements
would be made.
In President Battles annual ad.
dress he went over the entire two
years work. He complimented every
feature of the work from the agency
department to the management. He
made some very strong recommends
tons that were needful and that will
be Immediately put into operation.
His address covered the social, polit-
ical, business and economic life of the
Company. 1t described in particular
the position that the Globe should take
on all public affairs and questions.
The Secretary in his annual report
was equally alert in his suggestions
and recommendations.
The manager declared that the sub
scription list of the Globe had been
doubled in the past twelve months,
which is evidence conclusive that
Nashville is proud of the Globe, ac-
cepting it as a Godsend and as the
organ of the people.
The Treasurer in his annual report
gave an itemized account of all re-
ceipts and expenditures, showing that
1907 had been an encouraging year for
the business.
After some new recommendations
which were made in the Presidents
address, had been adopted, the follow
ing officers were elected for twelve
months: j. o. Battle, President and
Editor; G, II. Burrill, Secretary; H. A.
Boyd, Treasurer; D. A. Hart, Bust
ness Manager. The agents and the
Globe force, consisting of the clerks,
ETC., remain for the present as they
were in 1907.
The price of the Globe was changed
from fifteen cents per month to forty
cents per quarter, or $3.50 per year.
The Manager stated that the advertis-
ing rate would of necessity be ad-
vanced to conform to the increased
circulation of the paper.
The many encouraging letters and
remarks, and the general attitude of
the public towards the Nashville
Globe were discussed at the annual
meeting, and the Developments in the
past twelve months have fully con-
WINGED the Company that the Nash
vile Globe has tended to serve the
Negro citizens of Nashville, acting in
all cases as the voice of the people. |
The most prominent and leading cit |
liens in every walk of life have from
the very beginning of the publication
looked upon it as a medium through |
which their views could be expressed, |
and looked at it as a giant for the
right The Manager stated in his re-
marks that this was thoroughly dem
onstrated from the way the back sub
scriptions had been sent in by mail |
and from the way the new subscrip-
tons have been coming in.
The new features that are to be put |
into operation concerning the publish |
ing of the Globe will be mentioned |
from time to time through its columns |

Her Turn Would Come.

1t is the custom in all parts OF
Scotland to send invitations when a
death occurs in a family to all the
neighbors to attend the funeral. A
rather grim story once arose out OF
this. A neighbor had been omitted
by the bereaved family in the usual
invitations, a feud having arisen be-
tween them. On the day of the fu-
neral, while the people were assem-
bling, the sighted old woman stood
at her door watching the gathering.
At last, unable to bear up any longer
under her resentment, she ex-
claimed:
"Aweel, aweel, we'll hae corpse

Practical Answers.

An answer given in one Of the
Cambridge local examinations was
particularly bright. The question
was in mechanics and was, "Why
will pin not balance on its point?'
The reply was: "First, because a
point, being that which has no mag
nitude, cannot stand upon what does
not exist; second, it will if you stick
it in"
"The people of Herculaneum and
Pompeii died from an eruption" "
was the answer to question con-
cerning the deaths from the great
eruption of Vesuvius in A. D. 79,
and an eminently practical answer
to a question as to where Magma

GREELYYILLE GREETINGS.
Needed, a Hotel bHlldtng-ltems OF
Local and Personal Interest.


.GREELyvILLE, April 20:-
Greelyville is very much in need
of a hotel building. Our geni-
al hotel proprietor, Mr. q R
Burgess, is now occupying two
cottages to accommodate the
travelling public, so it seems to
us that the time has come when
it is the duty of our business
people to get together and
build a house that will be in
keeping with the other improve
ment of our town. Mr. 81 Tay-
lor owns a lot near the railroad
station, which, no doubt, could
be bought for this purpose, and
with it's large shade trees would
be a very desirable site.
Mt Hope Lodge K of P held
the most interesting meeting of
its history here last Tuesday
evening. Messrs W M O'Bryan
and F Mishoe were elected to
represent this lodge at the
Grand lodge and Messrs w n
Clarkson and ]. F Montgomery
at the District lodge. Mr. S P
Clemons being in waiting was
called in and asked to mount
"Billie Esquire, which invita-
he promptly accepted. But Mr.
Clemons is a careless rider and
became an easy victim to "Bil-
lies" "pranks.
Mr. Mood Cannon, formerly of
this place, but now of Charles,
ton, spent one day here last
week with his mother and Sis.
ters.
Mr. c R Sprott, the oil mill
man from Manning, had busi.
ness here last Tuesday.
Miss Bessie Windham from
Manning spent last week with
the family of Mr. e B Browder.
1t is rumored that Miss Wind.
ham will be a resident of Greedy
vile in the near future.
Miss Ethel Ferrell, who is at
tending St -Joseph's college in
Snmter, spent Good Friday and
Easter at home.
Mrs Nettles, who lived here
many years ago, spent last week
with Mrs SB Warner.
The egg hunt given by the
ladies of Richmond and Corinth
churches was a source of real
pleasure to the children who
were fortunate enough to be
there. Quite a nice little sum
of money was raised for the
benefit of the Presbyterian par
sonage.
Tom Linsey entertained a
small audience at the town hall
Saturday evening with a few
humorous selections.
Mr. S l Montgomery is ex-
tremely ill at his home near
here.
Mr. E c Registers handsome
residence has been completed,
which adds much to that part
of our little city where it is
located.

C. N. Hardin Dead.

C. NJ. Hardin, a prominent cit
izen of Amarillo and one of the
best known men in the Panhan-
die was buried with Masonic
hOnOrS at that place Wednesday.
His death, unexpected by host
of friends, came as a result of a
surgical operation for a stomach
ailment from which he has been
suffering for sometime.
In the death of Mr.. Hardin the
Panhandle loses one of its best
citizens and the Masonic frater-
nifty in which he was a steady
and bright light, a brother and
companion that was tried, true
and trusty.
Bro. Hardin had many friends
in this town and those of them
who could get off without great
inconvenience were present at
the last rites paid to his memory.
