I inquired into the details with zest.
"Was he in the Civil War;" asked.
Clarissa made contemptuous denial "The Civil War?
Pooh! Anybody might have been a lieutenant in the
Civil War"
I continued my fatuous inquiries by hazarding the
supposton that it might have been the Mexican strug
gle that had called forth "Unce Jimmy's" martial
prowess.
But again found Clarssa scornful.

berance
Carissa was however, unsuspcious.

"Well, not quite the same" I nterposed.

Did he go through the whole war;? I asked, with
the best intentions in the world But Carissa appeared
a trfe embarrassed
"Well, not precisely" she admitted Il suppose, of
course, he would have done So but circumstances pre-

"What were the circumstances" said, encourag

Oh Just circumstances" Clarissa explained, airily
She must have from my frown of bewderment
that something definite required, she

SPORT.

Amid the cheering of thousands of
supporters and the playing OF brass
bands and college yells, the Crimson
and Black of Meharry, in game spec
tacular and brilliant in every way,
crushed the Old Gold and Blue, OF
Fisk, on Thanksgiving Day by score
of 90. There was a predominance of
Crimson and Black, yet this did not
dampen the spirit of the Fisk boys,
and after the first twenty minutes Of
play they put. up battle long to be
remembered in the annals of football.
The day was an ideal one for the
spectators as well as players. The
rooters for each team were out in full
array. Each team had brass band
to play t:eir favorite songs. After
receiving the ball from the KICKOFF
Meharry carried it down the field with
out a stop for touchdown, making
1t within five minutes after the playing
had begun. Meharry used all kinds
of attacks and any number of forma-
tions which seemed to put her lighter
opponents up in the air, the most eff
fective of which was delayed forma-
ton with kenney carrying the ball.
There was no doubling the fact that
the Red and Black had come down to
Athletic Park with one purpose in
REV. and that was vengeance for last
years defeat. Within five minutes aft
er the kickoff was made, Fisk was
aware of the fact that she was playing
team that had been coached well in
every department of the game, There
is no denying the fact that the medical
team Of 100 was, not only heavy, but
with her weight she carried remarka
BILE speed, and that Johnson was moi
only playing quarterback but that his
headwork was being used 10 great ad
vantage. Meharry won the game
in the first half and it would be hare
to pick out the star Of the team. Thu
entire team played ball, every mai
doing his part and getting in the pla!
at the right time. Coach Ransom hat
oiled up his machine and it was run
ming smo0thly all during the first hal
Of the Pame; everything in the wa,
being crushed.
Fisk was kept entirely on the dc
tense and had it not been for-the eN

among which was the anthem, Princes
Awake! This anthem was by far the
most popular piece of the occasion,
while others were rendered none was
so prominently mentioned. The cho-
rus was directed by Mr.. L. S. Gray,
Foreman of the Bookbinding Depart
ment. While Miss Ruth Pearl McKin-
hey, of the same department, pre-
sided at the piano. Special compli-
ments were paid them; not that the
music was so very classical, but that
they should lay aside their work and
attempt to give the thousands of peo-
pie that were present an entertainment
of this kind. During the evening
three different song books were used.
AT six o'clock Monday morning a
throng Of people were at the Union
Station on Broadway to say farewell
to the Washington party and the Ten
nessee tourists. The |. 0. |. Band of
fifteen pieces under the management
Of S. S. Hughes furnished about q
dozen selections. The airs were all
popular and great demonstration
was made. The special train which
was in waiting to continue its circui-
tous route through Tennessee going
up as far as Hopkinsville, Ky, did not
leave the station until 1885. Addi-
tional members were added to the
party here in Nashville. These con-
sisted of Hon. w. Fl. Lewis, Assistant
United States District Attorney, of
Boston, Mass; Hon. j. e. Bush, Re
ceiver of Public Monies, Little Rock,
Ark; Mr.. McConnico, Of Ark; Mr..

labor seeks him. And then here in the
South the N,s.o is noI s4u, Jut as Al
many other parts of the country, from

EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO.
THAT which in the past has made
the Southern white people hesitate
about the education of the Negro has
been the question as to whether or not
he could use that education in a way
to produce more riches, more comfort,
more high moral livinG in his COM
munity after he was educated, but
the minute we can prove to the white
man in the community where we live
that education makes us more law
abiding, more Industrious, more saving,
gets rid of idleness, that minute mil
lions of dollars will be poured out for
our education in every part of the
South. In q city like Nashville in a
large degree we cook the white man S
food, we seyve the food on his table,
we nurse the white mans child, and
every white housekeeper in the city of
Nashville ought to be sure that the
person who cooks, serves or nurses his
children ought to be clean and intel
ligent, and above all things, moral.

in Davidson County. These colored
men could not have reached their pres
ent degree of success in your city
without the help, encouragement anG
protection of the best white people
in Nashville and Davidson County.
During the whole week | have been
in company with these men have not
heard one word of bitterness nor a
single word of adverse criticism ut
tered against the white citizens OF
Nashville. On the other hand they
have been emphatic and constant in
their commentator of how they are
treated. These successful Negroes tc
whom | have referred have not been
brought to the surface by mere chance,
but they are the product of just, wise
and generous treatment. Southern
communities perhaps will never fully
realize now much they owe to such
men for maintaining peace and friend
ship
"In speaking a few days ago to
President Taft, I said to him that
which I repeat here, that nowhere else
in the country can there be found so
many black people living daily by the
side of so large a number of white
people where the racial relations are
so friendly and satisfactory as they are
in our Southern country. We of both
races in the, South have suffered
much by reason of the fact that the
worst that occurs in the South is
spread speedily in all parts of the
world, while the best things which
are constantly occurring in each com
munity are seldom known outside
of the community.
$50 far, at every point we have
touched in the State of Tennessee,
have been evidences of progress in ma
terial, educational moral and religious
directions on the part of my race
Everywhere l have been almost over
whelmed and surprised to see how
much interested the white citizens are
/ in every community in the elevation
of the Negro The school facilitie;
for the Negro in the cities and towns
| have visited are far better than
had any thought they were. What i
needed on our part as race to maxi
conditions still better is for us to maxi
ourselves a necessity in the field o
labor We must not be merely con
tent to be tolerated, but must make tn
people feel our labor is so thorough
so intelligent and conscientious tina
nobody else can be secured who viii
perform it better.
I'm the matter of labor, our race ha
an advantage in the South which
| sometimes fear it does not right

"In the punishment of crimes Of
omission and commission the law
draws no color line. Since the law
draws no color line at the finishing
end the Negro should have equal
Glance with the people of other races
at the preparing end as he is pun
ished in the same way other races
are. If the Negro fails to pay his
taxes, if he steals, if he fights, if he
commits murder, he is punished by
the same law by which the white
man is punished. | am sure that
every white man in Tennessee will
agree that If this is true the Negro
should have the same chance of pre-
pairing himself for life so that he will
understand the law and know how to
obey the law If he must be put on
equality with the white man at the
finishing end of life he should also
have an equal chance at the prepar-
ing end of life, and this can on'y
leibrought about through proper meth
obs of education; mean education
of head, heart and hand; that educa-
ton which will teach every member
of our ace the dignity of labor and
at the same time will teach every
member of the race some trade OF
special occupation by which living
can be obtained.
RESPONSIBILITY OF WHITE MAN.
"Wherever l have gone in the State
of Tennessee as well as in other states
have found that the Negro is very
much what the white man is This
being true, the white man throughout
the South has a tremendous respon
sibility, the responsibility of setting
such an example before the Negro
that will help the Negro to a higher
and more useful life. / find that Oh

white people are ignorant, lawless, thu

Sam Langford Beats Mike Schreck
Easily.

Pittsburg, Nov. 23.-In less than
one minute of fighting in the first
round tonight Sam Langford, the
Boston Negro, beat Mike Schreck up
so badly that at the order of Supt.
McQuade Referee Henniger stopped
the bout and gave it to Langford.
Schreck had just tottered to his
feet after his second knockdown and
the Negro was just posing for the
final knockout when the fight was
stopped.

seemed TO be the one thorn in the
path. Zuber's excellent place-kick

there was nothing else doing in the

played Meharry to a standstill. With
a wonderful burst of speed she began

Coach Giles sent in King, the Won

with his long passes that were received
by the ends with wonderful accuracy.
But the goddess of fortune was smil-

the mighty Gold and Blue warriors
could accomplish their end, time was
called and the medical boys from the
south side had captured another Fisk

A Word to the Patrons of
School Districts.

The annual school meeting is al
most here and there are many who
are at a loss as to what to do regard
ing the tax that they must levy.
will suggest that you vote no tax at
all until after the board of euualiza-
tion meets, which will be the latter
part OF October. In other words do
not vote tax until you get state
ment, of the valuation of your dis
trict, from the County Clerk. He
can give them out after the first of
November. There have been many
changes in the past year and there
will be few more. The valuation
of some districts has been more than
doubled, while in few instances it
has been cut down. To those who
are wanting to know the valuation
Of their district, | will say that it
will be impossible to tell before the
Latter part of October or the first of
November. If the notice of your
special levy is in the hands of the
County Clerk by the first of January
1910, that will be in plenty of time.
Should you vote a tax at the annual
school meeting you may do as New
port and some of the other districts
did last year get more money than
you need. R. P. Com,
