STEPHEN DAVIS BOUND OVER

The chief of the detective force
Saturday afternoon changed the
charge of disorderly conduct against
Steve Davis who has been held by
the police since last Thursday night
in connection with the killing of his
wife. Kate Davis, to the charge of
murder, This action was the result
of the securing of added testimony
Nv the members of Lieut.. Sidebot-
TOMS force of detectives in the case.
A man, so it is said, has been dis
covered who was with Davis Wedns-
day evening, when he made two
trips into the western section of the
city in search of his wife. This WI
ness claims that he saw Davis meet
a woman, whom he believes to have
been his wife as she was getting off
. street car, and saw the two after
talking together, walk in a westerly
direction.
The confiction in Davis first story
that he returned home early Wednes-
day night at about the hour of g.
o'clock and the statement of Sam
Talley, who says that Davis woke
him up at 11:30 o'clock that night at
his home on the Hillsboro Pike and
remained there for two hours, served
to make the officers believe that Da-
Wis is the man that they are looking
for in the case.
Judge Baker bound Davis over to
the criminal court on Monday and he
was transferred to the county Jail.

MARY CHURCH TERRELL
AT MEHARRY AUDITORIUM
DELIVERS ABLE LECTURE TO
NASHVILLE CITIZENS ENTER
TANNED AT LUNCHEON ON
SATURDAY NIGHT.

That Nashville is Mecca for intel
ligent and cultured Negroes, can not
be better demonstrated than by the
large audience that greeted Mrs.
Mary Church-Terrell at Meharry Au-
ditorium last Friday night. Although
the weather man did his worst in
christening the gowns of the many
who attended, yet the drawing card
was so strong that in spite of the
downpour of rain, long before the
hour for the program to begin, the
house was we'll filled. To say that
Mrs. Terrell was at her best is only
to say that she was herself. Her sub
ject, why I'm an Optimist," was
handled with such logical reasoning
and elegant flow of language, yet
with such ease and composure in de-
liverance, that the audience was held
spellbound. She is woman of
whom the race is proud. She is a
member of the Board of Education
of Washington, D. C.
Mrs. Terrell was introduced to the
audience by DR.. J. A. Mcmillan, who
spoke of her preeminent position
among women and the good she is
doing for Negro womanhood. The
orchestra, under the leadership of
Miss NJ. E. Braden rendered some
excellent music as did the glee club,
especially in Jubilee songs.

FARMERS AND CITIZENS saw
lNGS BANK.

Palestine, Feb. 6: The doors of the
Farmers and Citizens Savings Bank
of this city were thrown open to-day
for business. 1t marks the opening of
the first distinctively Negro bank in
what is known as East Texas. The
interest in the banking project has
been kept at fever heat in the city for
the past five or six months. Mass
meetings have been held all over An
derson County, of which this city is
the County-seat, and to-day the re-
suits are evident The institution is
unincorporated but is chartered under
the laws of the State of Texas and is
the third Negro bank now operated in
the great Lone Star State. 1t is To-
Gated in what is known as Halls Hall
on the East side of Mcknight Plaza.
The encouraging feature of this new
financial institution is that they began
business with a paid up capital stock
of nearly $10,00000. The shares were
disposed of literally bringing $500
each. Prior to the opening of the
bank a mass-meeting was held at the
City Hall on Thursday night where
the roll was called and the number of
shares held by each stakeholder was
announced A ratification of the off
GERS was the feature of the mass-meet-
ing. But to-day all calculations were
upset and all past efforts so far as
the Negroes were concerned in the
business world were outdone. Hun
dreds of citizens from the city. the
county and adjoining counties took adj
vantage of the occasion to witness the
opening exercises. The program for
the opening provided for an address
by w, r. Pettiford, D. d. of Birming-
ham, Ala. DR.. Pettiford is president
OF the Alabama Penny Savings and
Loan Company of that city, as we'll
as being President of the National
Negro Bankers Association. The off
GERS and directors of the institution
left no stone unturned to assure the
public that the bank would be ope-
rated on banking lines The Presi-
dent, E. M. Griggs, is one of the most
prominent men in the state, while the
Cashier, Mr.. H. L. Price, has been as
ISOLATED with the business enterprises
in this city for more than a quarter
of a century The officers are E. M.
Griggs, President; T. w. Daily, Vice
President; S. j. Williamson, Attorney
H. L. Price, Cashier; G. A. Dial, AS
sistant Cashier; and ]. L. Randolph,
Secretary. A great boon to the stock
of this new bank was the turning over
OF all the holdings of the Palestine
Loan Company, a real estate concern
that has been in this city for many
years, to the new bank. The Negroes
throughout the county have expressed
their confidence, first by electing men
of their choice, and second, by idepos-
iting their funds and taking stock.

TWO RUNAWAYs.

A few days ago DR.. Hale's black

nately sustained no serious injuries.

molished.

making a call his bay horse became
frightened and ran away throwing

the platform to "show how she
moved" Lincoln, says his biographer,
was deeply stirred by the sight. He
said:
"By God, boys, let's get away from
this. If ever | get a chance to hit
that thing (meaning slavery, I'll hit
it hard"
DECREPIT INDIAN SAVED FROM FRONTIER
LAW.
The young frontier giants brief eX-
perience of campaigning in the Black
hawk war as officer of company was
marked by one incident which fore
Swallowed the spirit of mercy which
later characterized his presidential re-
cord. One day an old Indian strolled
hungry and helpless into camp, bear
ing a letter from Gen, Cass, recon-
mending him for past kind and faith
full services to the whites
This letter did not serve, however,
to allay the suspicion and anger of
the rough men who had left their
homes to fight treacherous Indians.
"Here," said they, "is a chance to
make an example of a redskin. This
letter is forgery and he is a spy"
1t is propable that the old Indian
would never have left the camp alive
had it not been for the interference
of Lincoln. He interpOsed his long,
sinewy figure between the red man
and his captors and said that what
they proposed must not be done. Nor
was it done, and the Indian went
away unmolested.
JUICY CAMPAIGN SPEECH AT PAPPs-
His first bid for Office followed his
return from the Blackhawk campaign,
when he consented to be candidate
for the Legislature. A description of
his appearance at this time-1892,
when he was % years old-is inter

"He wore a mixed jeans coat, claw
hammer style, short in the sleeves and
bobtail-in fact, it was so short in the
tail he could not sit on it, fax and
tow-linen pantaloons and straw hat.

His maiden speech, delivered at a
sale at Pappsville, II miles west of
Springfield, was spiced by participa-
ton in a general fight which had fol

of his friends giving way before the
onslaught of an angry ruffian, inter

platform, edged his way through the
crowd and Selling his friends antag

NO UNNECESSARY WORK

Shops are Closed or Running Short
Hours Because the Demands on
Them are not SO Great.

A letter was recently received at
the headquarters of the Erie railroad
In New York, from a business man
who lives In one of The cities, where
the Erie maintains division shops
and he made the direct statement
that there was much adverse feeling
against the company by reason OF
the short time being worked in the
shops. He seemed to believe that
tGe company could put the shops on
full time, IL IL wanted to, but for
some mysterious and perhaps re-
yengefu reason, was Withholding the
necessary appropriations.
"We would be only too glad, -
said a high official Of the company,
in discussing the matter, ITO not on

the Erie Is controlled, as are the
