GEORGE M. COHEN.

Doodle Kid will never come back
to them.
Broken down from overwork and
under the care of two physicians,
Cohan will soon leave for Europe
for an indefinite stay. He is here,
resting up preparatory to sailing.
The Yankee Doodle Kid comes
honestly by his sobriquet. He was
born on a Fourth of July"-1878.
His whole family are actor folk
Jerry, his father; Helen, his moth
er; Josephine, his sister, and Tom,
the cat-which they were then.
The Cohans were doing variety
turns when George M. came into
this world. When he reached the
tender age of nine the COhan trio
became the Four Cohans, and Jose
phine, heretofore the sweet child
singer, stepped aside for George,
her fat little brother.
George Cohan couldn't sing much
better then than he does now, but
he fast developed peculiar style
of dancing which soon put the fam.
lily into polite vaudeville and pros
perity.

FISK LITERARY CLUB.

The Fisk Literary Club held its
first April meeting with Mrs. Susan
M. Lowe, at The Tennessee School
for the Blind The meeting was
largely attended, and proved quite
beneficial. The Club is to give an
entertainment May 7th and the men,
bers are quite busy with plans, etc.
The children of the Blind School
furnished the program which was ex-
tremely interesting and entertaining
After the program an elaborate three
course luncheon was served by, Mrs.
Lowe, assisted by Miss Florence Hal
ford Mrs. Lowe had the Senior Nor
NAL Glass of Fisk as special guests.
About thirty-fve guests and club
members were present. The next
meeting will be with Miss Grisham
and Miss McBroom at The Daniel
Hand Training School on the after
noon of Friday April 23, at $3.50
o'clock.

judges to cast his vote for the mega
tive.
In the rebuttal Fisk showed her
superiority over her rival. Not once
were the arguments of the affirmative
shaken by the negative; but under the
heavy fire of the affirmative, the mega
tive's arguments, with the exception
of the moral side of local option, were
successfully broken down. In fact,
when it came to refutation Atlanta
was completely outclassed
On the whole. the debate was good,
and especial mention must be made
of the manner in which the Atlanta
team was drilled as to delivery and
form. Too much credit cannot be
given to the Fisk boys, for their task
was really a hard one. They had to
go into a territory where local option
had been tried and statewide prohi-
bition put in it's place; a territory
where public sentiment was inques-
tionably in favor of statewide prohi-
bition. But this did not prevent the
success of Fisk, for the judges, Prof.
M. D. Bullock, of Atlanta Baptist Col
lege; Rev. Lawrence Phelps, D. D., of
Atlanta Theological Seminary; and
Prof. E. G. Silsby, of Talladega Col
lege, rendered a decision two to one
in favor of the afirmative-Fisk.

Mr.. Rowland w. Hayes, student
of Fisk University, was brutally as
saulted by three white men near the
corner of Eighteenth avenue and JEFF
ferson street one day last week, and
was severely injured. 1t is said that
two of the men held Mr.. Hayes while
the third man was doing the coward
ly act. Mr. Hayes is slowly recov-
ering from his injuries.
The affair, it seems, was the re-
suit of difference of opinion about
a beefsteak Mr.. Hayes went into
the grocery store of one Burton to
purchase a steak. He asked that he
be given one to cost certain price.
When the grocer cut it the weight
put the price in excess Of what was
asked for. Mr.. Hayes told him he
could not accept it. Burton insisted
and Mr. Hayes started out. He was
followed to the door and across the
street Burton called him a s. Of a
band struck him a blow, telling
him. Young Hayes rallied quickly
and retaliated. He was giving a
good account of himself until several
other white men took Burton's part,
preventing Hayes from defending
himself, so that Burton could assault
him.
The citizens in the neighborhood
are very indignant over the affair
and are outspoken in their denuncia-
tion of the grocerman. They entertain
some fear as to the safety in going
to this place Mothers will not send
their daughters there, as It is alleged
that on two occasions the boys in

ship" one in the neighborhood was
heard to remark, for the other gro
ceryman near by is alleged to have
said that if he had his way he would
line up every Negro and shoot their
brains out, but they are determined
not to have any dealings with these
men. They seem to be of the opin-
ion that to keep peace in the commu-
nifty Negroes will have to stay away
from these stores.

Wednesday, September 1, was devoted
to a trip by sea to Pearl harbor on the
United States naval tug IroQuois. AS the
tug passed in from the sea to the chan
mel of Pearl harbor members of the con-
gressional party discussed the Pearl har-
Dor naval station, Notifications, dredging
and military development in general with
officers OF the navy Gov. Frear and Hon
olulu members of the entertainment COM
mittee. AS the tug passed the points

them off, but could do nothing over by
