IHPEDIMENTS.

There are some things that the Ne
groes of this city will have to do be-
fore they can hope to be looked upon
as brave and courageous men. One
among the many that so constantly
%confronts them and that they should
remedy without delay is this, they
allow individuals to make themselves
conspicuous in public meetings who
are not worthy to even be admitted
TO the building. When the citizens are
called together to discuss matters per
tanning to the welfare of the people,
it is generally conceded to the most
substantial men and ome of the
community to take the lead in every
thing to be said or done, and when
those who have not conducted them
selves properly, but on the other hand
have been known to live corrupt lives,
are allowed to come in such meetings
and vie with those whom the people
look upon as men and women of moral
standing, the intent and purposes for
which the assembly met is often de-
stroyed, an | in every such instance the
confidence of the people is weakened.
The Negro men Of Nashville owe it to
the women of the race and to their pos
terity to seq to it that these objectiona-
BILE characters are not permitted to
thrust themselves on the people. The
man or the woman who is living a
life that is questionable is not a whole
some subject to put before the people,
and is apt to weld a bad influence
on some young mind every time they
are allowed to do so.

PUBLIC SPIRITED.

The time is near at hand when
people throughout the world celebrate
the Christmas festival. 1t is an an
nual occasion that brings joy to the
hearts of many. Scores, however, are
to be found in every community who
have not thought to prepare for the
rainy days that come to all during
q life time, and these are generally
classed as the unfortuIates. The
meaning Of the word Christmas is
giving to those who need most to be
given to, and right on this point is
where so many of us make the great
est mistake. We give to our friends
fine gifts, Int in most cases they are
lot in need Of gifts, and often do not
appreciate what we give, therefore, it
would be more sensible, and more in
keeping with the lesson intended to
be taught, TO give to those unfortunate
creatures in the community.
The American Negroes, especially
those in. the Southern states, are not
as philosophical toward the needy
of their race as they should be on
this annual occasion. We have among
us a great army of boys and girls
whose hearts We could make glad on
Christmas morning if we would deny
ourselves to an extent and contribute
to a public fund to be used for the
purpose of making others happy.
There are lodges and societies that
meet in their halls during the holidays
and spread great feasts to the mem
bers Of the Order and their friends
but forget those who probably did not
have a good square meal Oh Christmas
morning, and the hundreds of chill
dren that ere in need of clothing to
keep them warm. A charitable people
make a strong race; public-spirited cit
liens serve as the connecting links;
the Negroes of this country would dc
we'll to awaken to these facts, and
there is no better time than Christina
to impress the people that every mar
is his brothers keeper.

During the last presidential cam

that if Bryan were elected he would
appoint a man on the Supreme Court
bench from the South should a va
cancy occur, Bryan was defeated, but
Judge H. H. Lurton, a Kentuckian by
birth and a T"ennessean by adoption,
mas been appointed. The Negroes of
the South cave never entertained any
more fear from the men appointed to
the Supreme bench from the South

be a mar of too good breeding to
stoop to anything other than fair deal
