RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.

If the reports are true the Nash
Vile Railway aud Light Company will
spend thousands of dollars during the
next few months extending electric car
lines into the rural sections. Every
important thoroughfare, with few ex-
ceptions, is being considered by the
company as a route to reach some vi
cinity that looks to be an inviting ter
ritory. And yet, there seems to be
no desire on the part of the company
to see the great number of people
that would visit Greenwood daily if the
car line shuld be extended the short
distance of less than one mile out the
Lebanon Pike 1t is a case that is
perplexing. Never before have men
running big corporation been known
to close their ears to the cry of thou
sands of patrons who desire to spend
their money with them. 1t is Pc
culiar situation, and one that the
forty thousand Negroes Of this city
would like to understand. If i, they
knew why the company was so indif-
ferent about taking their money they
could at least be in position to recon
cile themselves TO the fact,
Greenwood Park was established for
the Negroes of this city. The owner
has spent thousands of dollars to i'm
prove it and make it inviting; and the
people have shown their appreciation
of these kindnesses. They delight to
go out to this noted resort and spend
a few quiet hours, but thousands fail
to go because of the poor street
car accommodations 1t looks like
the company's officials do not want
the Negroes money One thing
is certain, unless the line is ex-
tended, and that In the near
future, it is highly probable that
the Negroes of Nashville will devise
some method of getting to and from
the park entirely Independent Of the
street cars. They are not going to
sit idle and allow any corporation to
say to them, in word nor in act, "You
shall not have any comforts" but will
proceed to make them for themselves.

COMMUNICATION
TEMPEsr lN a TEAPoT. !.

To the Nashville Globe: t
The Nashville Tennessean is a
newspaper published in this city and
Mr.. Ben Carr is reputable citizen,
who, unwittingly, has been the cause
of mighty tempest in the little tea
pot" of that pure, unauthorized and
holy CD sheet. Mr.. Carr is pros
porous farmer, man who has toiled
all of his life to make competence
for himself and family and to make
his dealings and relation with men
of such nature as to make himself
deserving of their respect and conf
dence. To be worthy OF the conf
dence of ones fellowmen is one of the
greatest incentives underlying human
endeavors; it is prize all men de-
voutly wish for and one that a majority
of civilized men of every race strives,
with might and main to attain. The
Negro people are no exception to such
noble desire and the efforts necessary
for its attainment. Mr.. Carr is but
one of thousands of his race in this
state, and every other state of this
country for that matter, who are ap-
plying themselves industriously and
assiduously to the development of
their opportunities. They are doing
what lies within their power to make
capable creditable and worthy mem
bers of the communities in which they
live. Is this a crime? Is it a justifi-
able cause for the savage and fanati-
cal attack of yellow journalism? Dis
connected sentences, loaded with bit
ter vituperation, ridicule and invec
tive and jumbled together promiscu-
ously as were those which
characterized the editorials in
the Tennessean directed Incl
IDENTIFY against Mr. Carr, but
really against the Negro people
as whole, whom he, as presiding
officer of the Farmers Institute, rep
resented in a particular industrial ac-
tivity, will not shake them.
The position of The Tennessean in
its abuse and ridicule of the effort be-
ing made to organize Negro farmers
for intelligent tilling of the soil was
so ridiculous that the Banner and
neither of which loses any
sleep preparing articles in defense of
the Negro people, could not sit supine-
ly by and listen to the claptrap of
their contemporary without branding
it superlative piece of downright
Righteousness. With moral courage
they rose to the emergency of the sit
uation and laid on like two invincible
McDuffs.
No amount of abuse nor unworthy
attempts at belittling the worthy at
tempts of the Negro people to make
a crediable place in American citizen
ship is going to phase OF deter them
from doing so. They are welded to
that determination and hades and all
OF its confederates are not going to
check them in the onward march. 1t
is said they are imitators, and if that
is true, then the logic of the ultimate
outcome is that they shall and will
succeed,
Let the tempest in the little tea
pot" rumble and roar, and swell to
such cyclonic proportion until its lit
tie circular wall will bulge to "buss-
ting" the Negro people are going to
keep on the even tenor of their way
with hope in their hearts and song
il their mouth, determined to win in
the end.

EDWARD AND NICHOLAS.

King Edward, of Engand, and EN-
peror Nicholas, of Russia, are saying
nice things to each other and about each
other in an effort, it seems, to strength
en- the friendly tie between the two
countries. King Edward essays to show
that he has the most powerful navy in
the world, and Emperor Nicholas is at
the same time endeavoring to show that
his land forces are superior to those
Of any other country. They declare
one to the other that their efforts are
in the interest of peace, but to those
on the outside it looks like a desire on
the part of those two sovereigns to
fortify themselves against a proba-
BILE rebellion of the small countries
that are showing a restleSsness at the
aggressiveness of these two countries
Only recently an educated and high
" cultured native Of India declared
that it was impossible for him to
commit a crime against England, in
view Of the manner in which his peo-
pie were being oppressed. From the
general trend of affairs it is apparent
that he voiced the sentiment of several
of the small countries that are feeling
the yoke Of oppression as applied by
England and Russia, and it is general
ly believed that the heads Of these two
great powers are aware of the restless
ness among these oppressed people,
and realize what it would mean to
them to have a mutual understanding
as to what attitude they would sustain
toward each other should a crisis
come.

In other cities they have large
buildings erected for the Y. M. G. A.,
and they have everything arranged to
make it inviting to young men to
spend their hours there. The Associa-
tions cannot be fostered without
money, but every dollar spent for this
purpose, if judiciously used, will yield
ten-fold. 1t means sacrifice to main
tain such organizations. We believe
the people of Nashville are beginning
to see the need of such an association.
We believe they will eventually make
up their minds to contribute a sufi-
cient amount to erect building and
donate the same to the young men.
The forty thousand Negroes of Mash.
vile can easily raise $4,000 for such
a purpose We believe they are go,
ing to do it for the benefit Of thsir
boys and. though indirectly, for the
benefit Of their girls.

however, that better day is at hand

ROBBERY AT MAGNESS
Dorr Mercantile Company's Store
 Robbed Friday Night

The Dorr Mercantile Company's store at Magness was broken into Friday night and about S35 worth of goods stolen, consisting of clothing, shoes, pocket knives, etc.
 5. M. Connor, manager of the company's business there, tele- phoned City Marshal J. W. Fetzer to come up and run the criminals down. It was learned that they had gone up the railroad toward Batesville, and the officer and MT. Connor started in pursuit. They overlook the culprits at Moore field. There were two of the par ties, and when captured they had on some of the stolen clothing. They gave their names as Jas. Con- nor and Earl Stade, aged IS and 20, respectively, and said they were from Chicago.
 They were taken before Squire Waldrip at Magness and were held for the grand jury. Being unable to give bond, they were taken to Batesville and placed in jail.
 In addition to the goods stolen at Magness, eight pocket knives were taken of them when arrest ed, the knives bearing. the brand of the Pape- Thiebes Cutterly Co.,, and one of them was wearing a pair of shoes that had probably been stolen, as they were shoes of good quality and about two num- too large. They were the Brown Shoe Company's make.
 A letter was found on Stade which had been written to him at ] Rison, Ark, presumably by his mother, and had Geen forwarded to him at Jonesboro.
 It is thought that they are per- haps part of a gang that has been operating as professional crooks.

PROGRESS OF CHURCH WORK
Many New Buildings and Big In-
 crease in Membership

Rev. A. +. Skinner, presiding elder of the Batesville district of the Methodist church, reports con- siderable progress in church af- fairs in this district during the past two years.
 A large new brick church build ing was recently completed at Tuckerman, building Is under construction at Alicia, new build ing has been erected at Floral and another one is soon to be con- pleted at Concord. Plans have been made for new building at Charlotte, and lumber is on the ground for an addition to the par sonage at Mountain View. The church at Cave City is preparing to replace the building there de- stroyed by fire some time ago. The board of stewards of First church st Batesville are considering plans for the erection of $25, ,000 edi- fee to replace the present building which has become too small. There is talk of $6,000 brick building at Newark to replace the present inadequate building, but the move ment has not yet assumed any def mite proportions.
 Rev. Skinner reports that min isters' salaries in the district have been increased 45 per cent in the last three years, and during the past two years there have been about 2,500 conversions and 1,S00 accessions to the church.

HE FOUND THE RIGHT PLACE

A nervous looking man went into store the other day and sat for half an hour or so, when a clerk asked him if there was anything he could do for him. He said he didn't want anything The clerk went away and the stranger sat an hour or so long CT, and after a bit the proprietor came around to him and asked if he could do anything for him. No" said the man, "I havn't been we'll for some time and the doctor told me to stay in a quiet place and avoid getting in a crowd, and noticing that you don't adver- tise in The Journal, 1 just thought this would be a quiet place, and dropped in to rest while.

BASEBAWL!?!?!! DOPE
Newark Humiliates rIagness by
 Decisive Score of 12 to Ii

One of the most exciting and in- terestlng games of ball ever played on local diamond since Uncle Pack Mayhan's Braves cleaned up the surrounding country, was play ed here Tuesday between Magness and the Newark Stiffs, more re- gently known as the Tigers, and was won by the Tigers by the magnificent score of 12 to II.
 Our" team was managed" by that old time star, Dr. Y. l.. Pas COG, who had for his captain c. NJ. Edwards, whose brilliancy as a ball player is noted far and wide.
 We havn't the exact lineup of the visiting team, but the lineup of the home team included almost every man and boy in town except Sunny Duff and Colonel Qualls, and our manager has kindly con. sented to give them trial at the next game.
 But to go back to the game, It was agreed by the management of both teams that no harsher pur- suaslon should be used on the um- pire than the unlimited use of base- ball bats, and that no player should be entitled to more than two home runs in any one inning, and that no player should be chargeable by the official score keeper with more than seven errors in any one inning.
 When the stentorian voice of Umpire Holderby called, Play Ball, , you just oughter seed our Tigers go in the game! We'll, the Magness boys never did have any chance. only up to the eighth in, hing, and then the score was only ten to four in their favor. If Man. ager Pascoe hadn't gone up in the air, the visitors would probably have had no chance at all. Most of the spectators contend, howev- CT, that he was not excited, but was only after a high fly, which he came so near getting that the batter only made q home run. Our captain, too, fairly covered him. self with honor, both on the field and at second base, where he made several vicious stabs at grass sklnners that came his way, and which he could have easily captur- ed with few yards of drag, net or some similar device. That famous slugger, Jim Arnold, easily carri- ed off the batting honors, having driven some terrific liners right into the catcher's hands.
 Well, after several hours of ex.
