self; but when the body was exam
ined, so it is said, it was found that
the unfortunate young man had a
whip in one hand and a chicken in
the other Those who saw the body
are of the opinion that Johnson could
not have shot himself. A Globe man
was told by one of the crowd that had
gathered, that the young man who was
was killed was walking down the pike
with a bucket of milk and whip in
one hand and a chicken in the other.
Whitworth asked Johnson for a drink
of milk which was refused After a
heated argument shot was heard and
Johnson fell dead The Grand Jury

Miss N. H. Burroughs, of Louisville,

1t has been positively announced
that Miss Mamie Helen Burroughs,
the corresponding secretary of the
Women's Auxiliary Board which is

Baptist Convention. and located in
Louisville, KY, will make her first
appearance in lecture in this city
Monday night, April 5, at Mt. Olive
Baptist Church, which has the larg-
est seating capacity Of any church in

women in America She has been the
champion for many years of the
rights of unprotected womanhood."

preparations are being made. Her
visit will be under the auspices Of the

said, that in her speeches, lectures
and stage manners she eXcels the
noted Ida B. Wells. Miss Burroughs
while attending the great Worlds

VIII meet again Tor the purpose or t1ll-
ing vacancies of teachers.
Supt. Weber's report was as follows:
SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.
For many years the present high
school building has been inadequate
for proper instruction Of the high
school pupils, and it has on several oc-
casions been pointed out that the time
would soon come when what has been
for a number of years a pedagogical
demand would be physical necessity.
Two years ago the high school over
flowed the Fogg, and since that time
has been occupying part of the Hume,
until now, to make room for this con-
stantly increasing overflow, half of
the Hume School children are accom-
modated in this rented building. There
will be an increased demand upon
the high school at the beginning of the
new term Feb. /, and the present quar-
tiers, both in the Fogg and that part
Of the Hume occupied by the high
school students will be inadequate to
take care of the increased enrolment.
There will be about ITS new pupils
coming from the grammar schools
The Fogg School was built in 1874 to
accommodate the high school when
this department had only lat students.
During the present scholastic year
there will be enrolled in the high
school about 800 students Taking
more of the Hume School not only
requires more of the grammar school
children to give way, but the room ito
be gained by moving these grammar
school children is not of the nature
suited to economical instruction of
high school students, and there would
have to be some changes made in the
building before it can be used. I sug-
gest that you appoint committee to
look into this matter and determine
what is best to be done under the cir
cumstances.
There are several vacancies in the
corps of teachers, and these places are
now being filled by your substitutes
On Friday the schools reorganize, and
will be able to report to you on Mon
day the exact number Of new teachers
required for the spring term

Is the Comptroller of the State of
Tennessee advising Negro fraternal
and secret societies not to deposit their
money in any save national banks?
Such a rumor has been afloat for some
time. It's confirm alton is what a
Globe reporter has tried to ascertain,
as it, has leaked out more than once
that such advice had been given by the
state official The Comptroller OF the
Treasury of the State Of Tennessee, 1t
is claimed has stated to several Ne
gro concerns when they applied for
charters not to deposit any of their
funds in state banks No truth, how
ever, his been put in the rumor. Those
in position to know say that man
occupying such an Office would natur-
ally work in the interest of the state.
If he advised against the deposit OF
money in state banks he would be
working against institutions in his
own state and against the principles
which the South contended for in the
days just after the reconstruction peri
cd. Then, too, they say that the state
Ranks of Tennessee are known to be
in most substantial condition. The
banks of Tennessee are compelled to
make sworn statements quarterly to
the Comptroller, who in accepting
these must be assured that they are
perfectly correct But another in
vestigation discloses that hardly one
of the many strong Negro secret so
cieties or fraternal organizations make
their deposits in state banks notwith-
standing some of these state institu-
lions weathered the financial storm of
the Cleveland hard times and later
showed a remarkable healthy condi-
ton during the panic of 1907. Espe-
cially is it true as shown from a state
ment of the cashier of the One Cent
Savings Bank that the institution
which he represents does not recall a
time when his bank had very much
patronage from Grand Lodges or state
organization in the fraternal world
among the Negroes, and yet this per-
sistent rumor, in spite of denials, con-
tinues to stay afloat. 1t can hardly
be believed that the Comptroller of
the State of Tennessee would advise
against depositing in the state insti-
tutions 1t is learned that the matter
was thoroughly discussed at a recent
meeting of the directors of the One
Cent Savings Bank, but that no names
were used in the discussion. 1t is said
that the directors and officers of the
bank are working on little clue they
received and if they find any truth in
the report they will call at the state
capitol, Joined by other local bank rep
resentatives from the city, to see why
this should be. When such rumors
are circulated as this one has been, it
can have only the tendency to discour-
age the organization of other banks.
It will have this discouraging effect
continually until it is officially denied,
which is believed will be done when
taken up with the proper authorities.
