On Thursday September 9th, thou
sands of children were seen crowd
ing the many schoolhouses of this
city. It was the day set apart by
the city Of Nashville for children
to report to the different schools
where thew could be assigned their
seats for the coming school term.
Everv schoolhouse and every seat
in these school rooms has been ta-
ken or claimed for the time being
bv some ambitious urchin or lad
who had registered either by the
desire of the parent or from its own
ambitious heart to acquire knowl-
edge. The principals of the various
schools report that this Is the most
encouraging outlook for bright
school wear they have ever had, and
some of these teachers have been in
the schoolroom for nearly quar-
ter of a century. In fact, some Of
them have been tea ching since the
time when the public schools Of
Nashville were taught entirely by
whites. 1t is stated that some Of
the oldest teachers in point Of SER

The observance of Labor Day in
accordance with Governor M. r. Pat
terson's proclamation was general In
the city While many of the business
houses did not close all day, a larger
portion Of them closed the better
part of the day. Some were forced
to work the whole day. But the peo-
pie of Nashville took advantage of
the beautiful weather and lovely night
and celebrated in the afternoon and
evening what they were deprived of
duringthe day tremendous crowd
went out to beautiful Greenwood Park
where labor day picnic and cele-
'bration was held under the auspices
of the Nashville Trades and Labor
Council, Barbers' Union No. 79,
Stone Masons' Union No. 1 and Hod
Carriers Union No. 8, together with
other societies and labor organiza-
items
It is stated that not a livery sta
BILE in the city had team or horse
and buggy by o'clock in the aft
ernoCn, so general was the outing by
all the people, A special program
was rendered out at Greenwood in
the interest of the labor organizations
Good music was the order of the
day Speaking, of course, inter-
spersed and made the day more ma
tiCnal by the character of the dis
course Many amusements have been
added to the park. w. T. McCrae,
the well-known Third avenue barber,
acting for the Trades and Labor
Council, was general manager of the
celebration. The Pythian Band fur
nished music throughout the day and
night. Conservative estimate places
the attendance for the day between
seven and ten thousand It was al
most impossible to get seat on
the cars, going or coming, until after
10 o'clock at night All of this is ev-
idence that day by day the popular
ity of Greenwood Park is becoming
more general.
day was Mr. James Stokes, Of
Clarksville, Tex, who dwelt princi-
pally upon the conditions that the
laboring man was confronting to-
day. Mr.. Stokes impressed every
one as being a sober, clear-thinking,
far-seeing man of the race. He was
very careful to advise the laboring
man to honor and appreciate the ad-
vantages that they were receiving
which. according to his idea, were
superior to those enjoyed by thou
sands of foreigners in their home
country. He would have the Negroes
give an honest days labor every
time and appreciate what is offered
him in the Southland The usual at
fractions were in evidence at the
park. There was the planation show
drawing its usual crowds, the cake
walk, both evening and night, the
country store, shooting galleries,
merry-go-round, and hundred other
minor attractions, such as baseball
and racing The baseball game was
between the Greenwood Giants and
the West Nashville Giants, which
ended in favor Of the Greenwood ag-
gregation. 1t was past II o'clock be-
fore the last celebrators reached
their home.
