An instrument of remarkable
qualities has just been invented by
a London poultry man. He calls
it sexaphone and claims that it
is an infallible discoverer of sex. 1t
is described as a pithball suspend
ed at the end of a piece of magnet
lied steel and copper wire with a
wooden handle at opposite end.
When held above a male creature
the pithbaH rotates steadily. II
placed above a female the disc
swings backward and forward like
a pendulum. The inventor is
interested in poultry farming
and states that the instrument tells
the sex of the eggs.
Of course this is meant to apply
to the fresh, fertile eggs. Wonder
what sort of a caper it would cut
when placed over one of neuter
gender, first person singular, back
number and objective case?

Home on the HILL" The boy who,
in mature life and in old age, wheth-
er as poet or statesman, refers ia
tender words and endearing terms
to the old homestead and its loved
ones, has much Of good in him, and
we find ourselves wondering wheth-
er the home-life, friendships and
relations of those primitive, by
gone days were not specially calcu-
lated to leave an indelible impress
sion, an undying memory, and
whether in this day of selfshness,
greed and worldliness we are not
lowering the standard, falling short
of the "ideal," which leaves its
pleasant, fadeless impress upon
heart and mind. Will the boys Of

them, dream of them, picture them

Not long ago, there met by
chance, in sister state, d. D..
and M. D. The former was a
loyal as we'll as an honored son of
Highland, and the latter, now a
feeble old man, had spent some
time here during the stormy days
of '6l-5. An entire afternoon was
spent in an interchange of recollec-
tons, incidents and opinions of the
county, the war-veteran' son be-
ing a third party and a listener.
Next day the son--himself a young
physician called at the home of
native Montereyan, lady who
resided in the town. knowing OF
her loyalty, too, the young doctor,
in course of conversation, remark
ed: "It is claimed, / believe, by
scientists and theologians, that the
Garden of Eden was located on the
river Euphrates, but, since Ii listening
last evening to my father and Dr.
P, l have decided that ii
must have been somewherein High,

This incident, injected here, is
not an unwarranted depression
since, to our mind, the pleasing
features of Mr.. Wade's book is it,
reminiscent characterize reflect

"A fellow, born and reared II
Highland has no business to try tC

back after an absence of three
years.

to Texas and was urgent in his re-
quests that preparations be made at
once for him to go up to Tullahoma,
Tenn. His wishes were gratified to
this extent, as it was apparent to
his relatives and friends that time
would soon cease to reckon with him,
and that he ought to be granted what
ever requests he might make.
Mr.. Battle came to Nashville from
Chattanooga about twelve years ago
to accept a position with the National
Baptist Publishing Board, and he re-
manned with that institution until his
death. When the Nashville Globe
was started little over three years
ago he was elected editor, and the
methods he employed have been a
revelation to Negro journalism.

KY, a man Of wide experience in the

Mr. ]. o. Battle, who died in Tullaho-
ma, Tenn, last Wednesday evening at
6 o'clock, was one of the most highly
respected citizens of Nashville. He
had only been in Tullahoma two days
and a few hours when the end came
having been carried there on the
midday train Monday, March 1. Mr..
Battle had been in failing health for
several months, but did not give up
his work entirely until the latter part
Of last December, when at the solicit
tation of a host of friends he decided
to go to San Antonio, Texas, to re-
cuperate. He stayed about two
months, with little or no improve
ment noticeable, so it was thought
advisable to have him return home.
Mr.. H. A. Boyd went to San Antonio
and accompanied him to this city.
They reached here Friday evening,
February 27. Mr.. Battle, though very
weak and exhausted from the long
journey, was greatly refreshed when
he met his friends and relatives at
home. He talked freely of his trip

general and wholesale attack upon
the Negro and his kind.
It is indeed wonderful what an all
absorbing topic the Negro is, and
what a fruitful source of revenue to
the man hunting for cheap notoriety
and a means by)which to line his ca

mental and physical degenerates the
Negro question has the same effect

ly made in this city, the President

Rev. E. c.. Morris, D. D., located at
Helena, Ark, has advised Prof. r. B.
Hudson, Secretary of the Convention,
to issue the official call for the Ex-
ecutive Board of that body to meet in
this city June 8, at 10 o'clock. The
meeting will be held in connection
with the great Sunday-School Con-
gress and B. Y. P. u. Chautauqua,
which will be in session in this city
from the 9th to the I4th of June.
The call coming from the President
means the assembling of the vice
presidents Of this convention, one
from each state in the Union. The
purpose of this meeting will be to ar
range program for the next conven.
tion and such other matters as are
usually taken up at these Board
meetings. The Executive Board
proper consists of more than seven
ty-five members.
1t was also learned from Mr.. Henry

gress Movement, that the call in

member from each state and their as
sembling here will bring about 450 re.
ligious workers in addition to the
already large delegation to the Sun
day-School Congress. There has also
been call made for the Educators
Conference to be held at the same
time. This will bring the presidents
or a representative from each of the
AZ universities, colleges and academies

ton. The official call signed by Prof.
R. B. Hudson, secretary of the Ma
tional Baptist Convention, was sent
out from Selma early this week and
conveyed to the various boards and
officials of the Convention the request
to assemble. It was further stated at
the headquarters of the Congress
Movement that all railroads are now
considering an extremely low rate,
which if granted will bring thousands
of people to Nashville for this oc-
casion.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 27.-Dur-
ing the great fight in the House of
Representative to-day while the
Brownsville Bill, which provided for
the re-enlistment of the discharged
Negro soldiers, was being hotly de-
bated, one had an opportunity to see
the metal out of which some Repub-
lican Congressman are made. 1t was
regrettable that no firm stand was
taken by the few republican members
in the law-making body coming from
south. of the Mason and Dixon line,
either for or against this bill. This
appears to be true with possibly one
or two exceptions, but it Is reported
to be fact beyond successful con-
tradiction concerning the Republican
members from Tennessee. Although
quite a number of their supporters,
counting for much during campaign,
are Negroes, they did not appear to
be manly enough to show which side
of the fence they were on when it
came time to vote. In fact, nothing
can be seen and nothing is known in
this city that they have contributed
towards the relief of the discharged
soldiers. 1t was asserted that they
were either afraid of southern senti-
ment and acted less than men, aiding
and abetting by their silence, or dodg
ing the issue by failing to meet it.
Democrats who opposed the whole
sale discharge of these three compa-
panies without honor were not afraid
to speak out on the subject One of
the Democratic Congressman, William
Pierson Hobson, coming from an al
most entirely black belt in Alabama,
whose home is in Greensboro, Hale
County, had the manhood to vote
with the Republicans on the bill. 1T
can be said of Mr.. Hobson that he,
although a Democrat, was at one
time an official of high rank in the
navy, and hence is in sympathy with
any man or set of men, who are ac-
cused, dismissed or disgraced with
out having their guilt established be-
yond a shadow of a doubt. In fact,
Senator Foraker's pet measure, al
though changed and given another |
name, still embodies many principles |
for which he contended, did not have
the support of the Southern Republi-
cans. Tennesseans who are here
and who are coming in here for the
Inauguration have not been slow to
see this, and some attention, 1t Is |
said, will be paid to the silent Re-
publican members, who either by
their silence or failure to support the
measure, attempted to defeat it at
the next general election. The two
Tennessee members, Republicans, |
coming from East Tennessee, w. P. |
Brownloe and ]. H. Hale, we're alb
solutely silent, even refusing to vote,
and yet the bill passed the House and
to-day it is freely predicted will bel
signed by the President, though it
was not all that the soldiers were en-
titled to. Foraker and others think
that the entire battalion should have
been restored, but after the Ohioan
presented it to the upper house, COM
pliments and gratitude from ten mil
lion loyal Americans Of one race, with
millions of others, cheer him as the
noblest Roman of them all and some
seem to think that more honor, more
recognition and a greater career await
him.
