INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS.
Delivered by Prof. w. D. Kelly, of
Columbia, Tenn, Introducing
DR.. Washington.

Mr.. President, l am not insensible
to the fact that you are here tonight
to listen to an address by DR.. Wash
ington, and indeed any extended re-
marks from me would be highly i'm
proper since your patience has been
taxed already to the utmost, and as
it is now quite late 1 forebear. Let
me simply say, Mr.. President, that
at the Battle of Salamis, fought at
he last quarter of the fifth century,
before the Christian era, when the Per-
sian fleet came down upon the coast
of Greece and sought to blot out the
growing civilization of that famous
country ara thus retard civilization
and Christianity, perhaps 4 thousand
years, a leader was demanded to guide
the destiny of Greece, AT that SUI
preme hour the noble Theomistocles
came forth, and by strategy induced
the Persian commander to enter a mar
row strait just off the coast of Attlca
where, because of the unwieldness Of
their vess els, the commanders were
unable to nlanouve to advantage and
the Greecian fleet falling upon them,
completely annihilated the Persian
fleet and drove back the forces of
Xerxes into their own country. After
the victory of the Grecian command
ers held a conference to determine as
to whom the credit of the victory was
due. Each commander desired to
award first place to himself and all
were willing to award second place
to the noble Theomistocles. So, too,
Mr.. President, | opine if the leading
educators OF my race were called upon
TO determine who was the greatest
among them, each would claim pre-
eminence fer himself, but all would
willingly accord the second place to
our distinguished guest Of the eve
ming.
Mr.. President, if the genius of our
government can take the rail-splitteT
from the wilds of Illinois and make
him the liberator of four million
slaves and give him the crown Of mar
trydom, that his name and fame may
go sounding down the ages till moons
shall wax end wane no more; if such
be the spirit of our institutions that
the boy from the tow-path driving
mules upon the canal can become the
paciier of the discOrdant elements OF
his c%ountfymen, and then, too, his
memory be hallowed as a martyr
of his country; if it be possible under
one form of government for a com
mon Taylor, "way down in Tennessee
to become the peer of the greatest
~potentate of all Europe, then these
same influences have operated to make
the son of Q slave of less than a hall
a century ago the instrument in Gods
hands to lift ten millions of his fell
low-men to a higher place Of manhood
and his fame to become the theme Of
praise of millions Of people in the
Old World.
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
men, allow me to present to you Tht
Wizard of Education, The Sage of Tus
kegee, DR.. Booker r. Washington.

NEGRO BANK
INCREASING WITH ASTOUNDING
RAPIDITY TENNESSEANS
PLANNING TO LAUNCH SEW
ERAL THE FIRST OF THE YEAR
-oTHER STATES FALLING IN
LINE.

A statement as to the condition Of
the various Negro banks in the Unit
ed States is with much care. In the
course of preparation of the annual
Negro banking article and forecast
the financial mar of the Nashville
Globe youchsafes the following state
ment: AN approximate of the Negro
banks and chartered concerns do
ing a banking business for January,
1910, is causing the upsetting of
much calculation that had been
made early in the fall. "A general
shifting around caused by agitation
of organizations of banks in the Vol
unteer State looks encouraging so
far as the banking interest is con-
cerned in the state of Tennessee.
Without attempting to give any
name and set any dates, but after
gathering information that is reliable
and generally authentic, 1910 will
witness the launching and establish
ing Of Negro banks in this state as
follows: Franklin, Chattanooga,
Knoxville, Bristol, Jackson, Colum-
bia, Clarksville and Murfreesboro.
To these Memphis isl supposed to
come in with another. This is guar
anteed because of her so per cent.
Negro population in Shelby County
nine in ala hard number to
beat, together with the three already
in operation and the one chartered
to be located at Memphis, would, Of
course, call for the unlucky number
of thirteen, but this is not count
ing money, or unlucky when add
ing institutions that have money.
So we can look with a deal more
pride on the business activity
in Tennessee and the sound basis
upon which many of these institu-
tons are being organized and oper-
ated." This statement coming from
the Globes financial forecaster and
bank directory man, will cause any
number of people to watch the list Of
Negro banks that he purposes to
publish early in January, 1T will
give the name, location, capital
stock, with the president and CASH
Ter, of every Negro bank in opera
ton in the United States which has
Gever been done before by any news
paper. Hence, the January num-
Der of the Nashville Globe will no
doubt be eagerly, sought and loked
for. Tennessee will make a splendid
showing, all things considered.

in keeping with the precedent set by
other presidents.
Such positions as Recorder of Deeds
and Register of Treasury have gener-
ally been given to prominent Negro
aspirants. There is no doubt but that
Mr.. Napier has the backing Of both
factions of the party in this state,
which are said to be working in uni
son on certain appointments. The APP
pointment Of Attorney Tillman for an
other term and the stating of United
States Marshal Overall are construed
to mean that Middle Tennessee will
be surrendered and left to the Evans
Saunders-Hal combination. Mr.. Ma
rier is expected to reach the city to-
morrow, or Monday, but If he
gives out anything as to what
%transpired, it will be unlike him;
still in spite of his d~enials,
his eligibility, from fitness and point
of service to the party, will stand out
as his most powerful endorsement.
The Negroes of the entire state are
asking recognition of their political
leauer, Jne One maj VINO mas, Il
fear or favor; stood up boldly at
crucial moments using his time and
means for the success of the grand
old party in the volunteer State"
Mr.. Taft has been with us. He
didn't say much, and we are glad he
didn't, We have been loath to have
him say anything about us every
since his inaugural address-The
Fisherman's Net.
@The die is cast" The semi-cen-
tennial exposition of the progress Is
to be held in 1913. President Taft
has endorsed it. Congress is sure
to extend substantial aid. The States
will follow suit. Booker T. Washing
ton and the National Negro business
League win do the heavy work and
the celebration will be an internation-
al success. Let's all pull off our
coats and push the enterprise along,

of life. It is a feeling common.
to the majority Of US that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
the first place. No doubt
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. Tor them life can scarce
ly be said to have any Upright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies ike

sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties &C

with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
OF Malt and Wild Cherry. No
thing has such a record of sue
cess Ia Scrofula, Inanenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaeiating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. Its use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor

much pleasure in stating that /

and found it to be very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
to take" You cannot be disaa-

Fortify at San Pedro.
Los ANGELES, July 29.-Fortifea-
tons costing possibly $6,ooo,Ooo will be
located around San Pedro if the govern
ment can secure the necessary sites for
satisfactory price. This was brought
out today at meeting between Brig
adier-General Arthur Murray, chief of
the coast artillery corps, and represen-
tatives of the harbor commission.
The question Of buying the site, for
which Congress has appropriated $780,
0o0, was left with the local engineering
office.
State Secures Relic.
WASHINGTON, August AT the
request of Senator Jones, the Navy De-
partment has directed the commandant
of Puget Sound navy yard to turn over
to the State of Washington the figure
head recently removed from the cruiser
Washington. This relic is not presented
to the State, as the department is with
out authority to give away government
property, but is % loaned" for indefinite
time, and viii never be called for.
Senator Jones has written Governor
Hay, informing him that the fgurehead
can be had upon demand, the State to
defray the expense of getting it from
the navy yard to whatever spot may
be selected for its display. AS rule,
these fgureheads are being placed in
front of State capitols.
The department has not decided what
disposition to make of the fgurehead
on the cruiser Olympia, which was
Dewey's flagship at Manila. Because of
its unusual value it may be retained by
the government as relic. Whenever
a decision is reached, Senator Jones will
be notified.
Should say "Aye, Aye, Sir"
Rear-Admiral Seaton Schroeder, in an
order to the captains of his fleet, has
called attention to the passing of the
response of the sailorman
to his superiors of "Aye, aye, SIR
when an order is given. Admiral
Schroeder urges that the common reply
is not what is desired. Men
now say every good, sir" or every
well, sir.'' This, the Admiral says,
should not be permitted, and the old
response should be insisted upon, as it
is an answer that has always been in
the Navy and conveys meaning not
given by the other expressions. Officers
are also impressed with the Importance
of correcting the carelessness of men
who chew gum while they are address
ing officers or use slang at such times.
The Admiral enjoins his feet officers not
to allow such unintentional forms of
disrespect and ignorance of the efemen-
tary principles of military propriety. In
making this observation he says that
officers should be mindful of the fact |
that the Navy is just now in a transi
ton stage as regards the matter Of per
sonnet, and laxity Of discipline even in
small matters brings increasing diff
culties in its train.

On Sunday night navy prisoner
named Carson slipped by his sentry
aboard the United States cruiser Buff
falo and made his escape from the
vessel. He was captured again ON Mon
day by the police and returned to the
ship, and now his sentry is a prisoner
also and may be charged, after an in
vestigation into the circumstances Of
the case, with negligence in the per-
Torrance of his duty and be subject
to court-martial.
Carson has been a prisoner since
leaving the Orient, his offense having
been committed while the Buffalo was
preparing to return to Mare Island.
The Buffalo has lot of prisoners
aboard, including two warrant officers
implicated in wholesale thefts of ship S
supplies from the cruiser Denver.
Just how Carson managed to slip by
his sentry has not been altogether ex-
planned. It is said, however, that liq-
uor had been Struggled aboard and that
the sentry had taken drink and was

May Go to Panama.

While the only orders Captain Brown
of the cruiser Buffalo has are to pro-
coed to Mare Island on August %, there
is an impression aboard that the yes
sci may finally be ordered to proceed
direct to Panama and then to San
Francisco. There are a few men. of
the draft aboard the Buffalo who are
to join the vessels on the Atlantic coast
and these could be landed at Panama.

transferred across the Isthmus and then
carried to the Atlantic seaboard on the
| q. S. S. Prairie. The Panama trip,
however, would be expensive, as the
extra coal consumed would cost some
where in the neighborhood of $4,000 or
$4,000, and the railroad fares of The
seamen across the American continent
would far less than that sum.
| The Buffalo will leave her dock on
the evening of August % and steam
out to the outer anchorage, and ON the
following morning leave for the Coast
Camp Perry Prizes.
From now until September the rifle
range at Camp Perry, Ohio, will be
in constant use. Five distinct tourna-
ments viii be in progress, with thou
sands of marksmen, scorers and attend
ants in camp on the range. The pro-
gram includes the seventh annual
matches under the national board for
the promotion of rife practise, the
twenty seventh annual matches of the
National Rife Association, the sixth
annual matches of the Ohio State Rife
Association, the first annual matches Of
the Department of the Lakes Rife As
ISOLATION and the regular annual COM
petition of the Ohio National Guard.
Monday, August %, the national team
match will be opened to be followed by
the national individual rifle match and
the national individual pistol match.
These matches should be completed by
Friday, August q, when the National
Rife Association matches begin. They
include seventeen matches.
During the matches of the national
board for the promotion of rifle prac-
tise and the National Rife Association
the range win be differed and manned
by the United States Army and the Ma
tional Guard. Markers and scorers will
be furnished by the army, regiment
being detailed for duty at the range.
Congress has appropriated $4,000 for
the messing of competitors during the
national matches
A careful estimate of the number of
men expected at Camp Perry for the
matches includes 100 regular army Off
GERS, 1000 enlisted men, US.A.; team
contestants and officers, 900; National
Guardsmen, not attached to teams, and
civilian rifle clubs members, 800 to 500,
and brigade Ohio National Guard, 500
In the national team match the prizes
are as follows: Glass A. $3.50, $3.50,
$500 and $3.50; class B, $3.50. $3.50, 1925
and 5000; class C, $500, 5000, $175 and
$3.50. In addition there is trophy for
each class, and every member of the
twelve teams viii receive medal. In
the national individual match there will
be thirty-nine prizes, amounting to $500,
with the same number of medals As
the matches of the National Rife AS
ISOLATION will be conducted on a per-
centage basis, it is impossible to tell
how much money will be divided. It is
expected, however, that in some of the
great individual matches, like the Leech
cup match, the total prize money viii
approximate $500 or 5000 and perhaps
