FISK'S NEW PRESIDENT.

On last Wednesday morning when
DR.. G. A. Gates made his appearance
on the platform in the chapel Of Fisk
University as the president of that
institution, every member of the stud
ent-body rejoiced with exceeding great
Joy, and the members of the faculty
and the public in general breathed
q sigh of relief. Fisk had been with.
out a president for more than year.
a condition that had never existed be-
fore; and while the committee Of
management were all earnest and con-
scientious workers, and might have
conducted the affairs of the University
as successfully as the new president
can, there was, nevertheless, con-
slant feeling of unrest among the
friends of the institution.
DR.. Gates comes to his new field of
labor with twenty years experience as
a college president, having served in
that capacity in some of the best
schools in the country. and while il
is true that he has never had the
oversight of a Negro school his
many years Of experience in schoo'
work will enable him to take in the
situation with ease.
The members of the faculty, the
students and friends Of the institution
gave the new executive hearty re
ception on his initial appearance
among them, which will go long wa!
toward making him feel that he Il
among friends, and he may well fee
so, for all Nashville bids him welcome
and will do all possible to make hi
administration success.

SHERIFF SHIP CASE.

At last the Supreme Court of the
United States has taken definite
stand in the contempt case of Sheriff
Joseph H. Ship, of Chattanooga, and
his codefendants. The history of this
case is well known to the readers Of
the Globe. 1t will be recalled how the
unfortunate Ed Johnson, for whose
death the defendants in this case are
called to answer, was taken by
mob and lynched without the least
resistance on the part of the sheriff
or jailer This was allowed to be
done after the Supreme Court had
practically taken charge Of the pris-
oner.
These parties are not being perse-
cuted because they allowed the mob to
enter the Jail and destroy the life Of
prisoner, but because in so doing
they ignored the order Of the Supreme
Court. Negro men are often mobbed
and burned in all sections of our coun-
try, but so long as the order Of the
Supreme Court is not ignored the
mobbing is done by unknown parties
in an orderly manner" This case
has attracted widespread attention, as
it brought the Federal Government in
direct contact with the county govern
ment. 1t was a case Of who shall be
supreme, and while the Negroes of
this country get very little encourage
ment from the decision of the court,
they can, at least, have the satisfaction
CT knowing that few of the mob
who killed Ed Johnson are to suffer
the consequences.

the Democrats resorted to that low
and unmanly practice of crying Negro
domination. They carried their point,
but only by a small margin. 1t was
their only hope of success, which is
proof positive that the crowd that won
is not capable of governing that great
city.
The Negroes in the states where
their votes count should take warning
from the methods adopted in the Lou
isville campaign and keep in readiness
to resent every such thrust at them
The weakest and meanest plea that
can be made to the citizens of any
city or state in our Union is Negro
domination, but there are men in this
country who will stoop to anything
to get political Office, and it stands
the Negroes in hand to be prepared to
rebuff all such tactics as those used
against them in the Kentucky me-
tropolis.

ELECTIONS.

The elections held this week
throughout the country furnished
some surprises, but in the main they
resulted as was expected. The great
est surprise was the result in New
York City, where the Democrats lost
everything but the Mayor. The other
elections in the East favored the Re-
publican tickets. In Massachusetts
the vote was close, the Democrats sue
ceeding in many instances in cutting
down the Republican plurality several
thousand but could not win.
The State of Maryland and the City
of Louisville in Kentucky were the
storm centers so far as the Negroes
were concerned. In Maryland the
state was voting on a constitutions
amendment to disfranchise the Negro
voters. The Republicans, who opposed
the amendment, won out after bit
ter contest. In the City Of Louisville

THE HUDsoN-FULToN CELEBRA-

is impossible to make anything like
an accurate estimate where such i'm

were undoubtedly within the city's

any perceptible diminution of local

The people of Nashville will be
given two rare treats on Monday of

the welllknown newspaper CORE
spondent, and a lecturer of great re-
nown, will deliver one of his famous
lectures at st. Paul A. M. e. Church
on Monday night, November 9Th. The
subject that DR.. Stewart will discuss
on this occasion is unique in name,
but We venture the assertion that he
will get more out of it than can be
imagined He will discuss Uncle
Ned and His Son." Mr.. Stewart is
well known in this city having lee
tured here on several occasions, and
those who heard him can attest to the
nature of his discussions He is a
man with broad experience, having

of the Kieths and Maddins, from the
oldest to the youngest. THE night
she died there were present at her
bedside Dr. and Mrs. Glasgow, Mrs. S.
j. Keith and Mr.. Walter Keith Mrs.
S. j. Keith with her own hands

to lay her out. 1t was her pastors
privilege several times to be pres

fore saw such kindness and attention
shown to any one as was shown to
Nanny as she was called by all.
The funeral was held at the resi-
dence on Saturday morning, conduct
ed by her pastor, with DR.. Anderson,
of the First Presbyterian Church, as
sisting. Services at the residence
consisted of Scripture readings, the
recital of the Lords Prayer, the Apos

touching scene at the grave was
when the pail was lifted and placed

others, while not censuring him for

New Wrinkle in the South.

The white people of Richmond, Va,
have introduced a new wrinkle which
bids fair to spread all over the South.
Last week in one of the most fash
ionable and wealthiest suburbs of
Richmond they extend the suffrage
to white women At meeting of the
Citizens Association the covering
body of that suburb, a constitution
and bylaws were adopted, with one
provision of which is that "all males
and females, white and over twenty
one years of age, owning property
and living in Ginter Park, and sub
scribing to the constitution and by
laws, have a right to vote"
This is the first community in the
South to take this drastic step to en-
irely disfranchise the Negroes. BY
this scheme every section in the
South will act to reclinch the aspira-
lions of the Negroes to have voice
in the government under which they
live-The Advocate Verdict.
