ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY
PRIDE OF NASHVILLE,

That Roger Williams University
has always been an object Of pride to
the citizens of Nashville goes with
out saying. In Nashville she has had
and still has sympathizers and we'll
wishers. This sympathy is now in
creased from a realization of the mis-
fortunes that have come to her, and
the untiring struggles she has under
gone and is still undergoing in an eff
fort to be re%-established. What Rog-
er Williams is to Nashville as an in
stitution, the part she plays in the
moral, social and intellectual uplift of
our people in Nashville is inestima-
BILE. The citizens of Nashville, there
fore, cannot nor will allow the work
that has been begun there to stop.
The Board of Trustees have done
their work so far wisely and well.
All the money on hand has been spent
and unless the citizens of Nashville
come to our rescue with $1,000 by
May 90th, the work must stop.
The Board Of Trustees of Roger
w Aillolho INV olCy, IuIOuSH IuSlI GU
ucational Secretary, are now making
an appeal to the citizens of Nashville
for help. They have erected on the
campus of Roger Williams University
a four-story brick dormitory for the
girls, already costing $4,000. The
building is not complete, but the
walls are up and the top is on They
have been aided in the work by the
Baptist Home Mission Society do
mating to us $500 for every $1,000
that we raised. Now they must have
at least $1,000 by the 30th of May in
order to keep the work in progress
and they are now making their first
appeal to Nashville for help. To this
end a committee of twenty persons
has been appointed to solicit sub
scriptions and collect money. We
fell confident that Nashville will sus-
tain her reputation and show her in
terest to- Roger Williams by assistin
the Board of Trustees and Education
al Secretary and this Committee to
raise the amount asked for.
Let every one contribute to this
necessary effort as God hath pros
pered him.

R. L. MAYFIELD.
BY John 3. Poindexter.

R. L. Mayield, the subject of this

early educational training was OBJ
tanned in Powers Seminary now

In the spring Of 1895, Mr.. NAyheld
took the examination for q teacher In
the city schools of Nashville and Of
the forty-hve applicants who took the

field was the only one that made the
required average. In the fall Of 1895,
he began teaching in the city schools
of Nashville and taught until the
spring of 1897, when he and G. o. Had
ley formed a partnership and ran the
Watauga Cafe during the Tennessee

met with signal success. In the fall

University, Washington, D. c., as a
student of law, graduating from that
institution with high honors in the
spring of 1899, his diploma having
been presented to him by President
Mckinley. In September 1899, he
was admitted to the practice of law
in Nashville which entities him to
practice law in all the courts of the
State of Tennessee. Mr.. Mayfield
Immediately forged his way to the
front, and in a very short while his
ability as a lawyer was felt. Mr..
Mayfeld, in addition to trying many
cases in the court of the county, has
appeared in many weighty and impor.
tant cases in the Supreme Court of the
State, Mr., Mayield says that he
feels more at home in the highest
court of the State because the same
stands more for the principles for
which he strives. Mr.. Mayfield has
been reported several times by the
Supreme of the State which is a sig
nal honor indeed. Mr.. Mayfield is
reluctant to say that he was sustained
in the Supreme Court of the State
in four cases of five in certain cases
having been tried and determined
against him in lower court. Mr.. May
fields road in law has been rocky,
but being always fearless in the
right he has accomplished. Mr.. May
field believes in the saying, BE sure
you are right, then go ahead" From
the final outcome of the many cases
against Mr.. Mayfield, we r con-
strained to claim Mr., Mayfield was
right.
Mr.. Mayield, since being in the
practice Of law, has made a special
study of the conditions as they ex-
list in the South; and is a believer
that the more nearly ev%en-handed JUS
tice is administered in the courts, the
more amiable will be the conditions
of the races. Mr.. Mayfeld has de-
livered lectures in various cities of
the United States, notably Boston and
Springfield, Mass; New Haven, Conn,
and Des Moines, Iowa. In all of which
places his u~tterances were we'll re-
ceived.
1t is reported that when Mr.. May
field began the practice of law ten
years ago, he had interest in the rem
tai of one desk in which himself and
two others used in one room, and
each night as he went home, he was
moved in so far as his office supplies
and fixtures were concerned. The
first change of Office represented five
letters which he carried in his peck
ct. He recently moved to the front
office of 40 IL Cedar street. He
now has in his office more than
$4,000 worth Of books, together with
other things necessary for the con
Quoting of his business. Mr.. May
eld's office, consisting Of rooms 1 and
2, 410 IL Cedar street, is a model of
neatness and cleanliness; and Mr..
Mayfeld is well able to care for his
varied practice without leaving his
Office for anything. Mr.. V. W. Berry

is Mr.. Mayfeld's court reporter and
stenographer as well as Mr.. Berry is
general stenographer and reporter.
Mr.. Maytield has an Office girl who
keeps his office faultlessly clean.
One OF our race can take a pessimis-
tic view Of our condition when they
have seen and talked with Mr.. May
field.

 Cornwall will line up forces for or against the license of the sale of intoxi- eating liquors at the October election. Ten years ago the majority for license was 43. At the last vote but one 1t was 60 in favor of. Last year 1t was carried by one majority only. Keep an ear open for the result of October 4th. Stand up, friends, of the total principles, and be counted, whatever the odds. Show your colors. There was a majority of citizens last year actually opposed to license but three good temperance men were not able to deposite their votes, not having been ill town long enough; four more let it go through apathy. There is no denying the fact that the public opinion does not get it's will ex- pressed as it should at the polls ill behalf of 8 "dry" and sober town, but 1t looks brighter ahead. Keep on praying and voting and working for it.
