EXHIBITS LACKING.

At the Murfreesboro Fair last week
there was one feature that attracted
attention by its emptiness and that
was the exhibit hall. 1t was almost
as empty as "Towser's Dog House"
Towser was dead and buried and no
member of the canine family
essayed to occupy his house. The
exhibit hall at the Murfreesboro
Fair presented a sorry appearance.
Two or three quilts, few white rats,
a lady selling soda water and two
babies was all to be seen in the hall
A Fair is a place to show what is
being produced 1t is where we go
to get an idea of the progress being
made by our neighbors. We COM
pare results and study how to accom-
plish greater things. The entertain
ment feature is very necessary to re-
lieve the monotony, but the prime OBJ
ject should bo to stimulate the people
to make greater strides along material
lines Tennessee is on trial. The
country is looking this way. The
natural resources of this common
wealth are well-known to all, and it
is a matter for us to decide whether
we will develop them and enjoy the
fruits therefrom or whether we will
sit idly by and allow the foreigner
to come in and develop them and
reap the harvest 1t goes without say
ing that the laborer will reap the
harvest.

FISK JUBILEE DAY.

On Wednesday of this week the
faculty, students and members of the
alumni of Fisk University living in
this city celebrated the thirty-eighth
anniversary of the departure of the
first troupe of singers that were sent
out to raise money to erect building
to comfortably house the students that
were attending that institution at that
time. The meeting was interesting in
many ways, and especially so were
the experiences related by some of
the members of that troupe. 1t gave
the audience an idea of what it cost
to establish the University.
A very significant fact that was
brought out, and one that should be
emphasized is that the money with
which to erect the first building on
the present site, which was historic
Jubilee Hall, was raised by this troupe
This building will be a monument
to the famous singers as long as it
stands and the Negroes all over this
country ought to be made we'll ac-
quainted with the history of the
same. They would, if they knew of
its history, respond more readily to
the needs of the University in these
latter days, and would teach their
children to do so.
1t is long step from the old build
ing that was occupied by the school
in 1871 to the magnificent brick
buildings that make up the University
now. It cost those many sacrifices
who labored in the early days of the
institution, and the burden is no
lighter now than it was then;
the conditions are very similar.
The Negroes themselves had to
Put Fisk on a solid footing, and they
will have to work unitedly to keep it
up to its present high standing.

It is imperative that the man filling

COMMUNICATION.
Once In a While.
the Nashville Globe:

To the Nashville Globe:
Once in while, as we journey
along life's highway, there come to
us some opportunities in which we
can be of service to others by our de-
veloping and making the best pos
sible use of those opportunities. If
we make fitting preparation to do
our individual work in the great
providential scheme of things to the
best of our native and acquired abil-
ity, and if we cheerfully and assidu-
ously apply ourselves to the perform
ance of life's tasks, then we will have
the satisfaction of knowing that we
have contributed something by our
humble though faithful efforts to the
sum total of human happiness.
Once in while, in good faith and
with an honest intention of profting
thereby we should rummage through
the dust-covered records of rece-
ding, vanishing past and take there
from such lessons as our plumbers
and mistakes, Willingly or unwittingly
made, should have taught us. We
may sometimes have a desire to blot
out or blank the past, but therein we
are at error, for it is our best guide
and teacher for the future. If we
wisely appropriate the lessons it
taught, we will be enabled to avoid
in our passage up through life rep
etition of those things which only too
willingly we would close our mem
cries against.
Once in while our good angel fits
along our pathway holding aloft the
torch of enlightenment whereby we
are given a chance to see the beau
tiful vistas which lie before and
around us. We only behold the beau
ties of these magnificent scenes when
our minds are perceptive and open
to the reception of their refining in
fluences. Such occasions are the
GASES, here and there in the Saharas
or dead wastes of life, that all of us
welcome with a gladsomeness as gen
uine as the first joys of the spring
time of childhood. This is as it
should be.
Once in a while we all feel the i'm
portance of our real mission in the
scheme of things, and it is then that
the mystic influences of that Life be-
yond life are playing in and around
us for our good, and if we follow their
gentle leading in the performance of
our service to ourselves and our fell
lowmen, we shall leave the world
brighter, happier and better for hav-
ing lived in it.

Peary, Henson and Cook.

In the fight now opening for the set
Element of the controversy as to
whether Dr. Cook did or did not reach
the pole, the part which Matthew
Henson is playing is as creditable to
the black man as it is important to the
contenders. The credence with which
Peay's colored companions words are
accepted against the reported words
of Cooks Eskimo companions is sig
nificant In. fact. it seems as mas
much as Henson declares these COM
panions admitted to him time and
again that DR.. Cook did not leave the
land line, his testimony will be re-
lied on very largely to refute Cooks
unsupported claim.
Henson's part in the Peary eXpe-
dition looms up ever larger. Not only
was he the most experienced and
hardy member on the expedition
aside from the commander himself,
but in his popularity with the Eskimo
and his knowledge of the language
of the Etah tribe, Henson was prob
ably not inferior to his chief. His
knowledge Of Arctic conditions, es-
pecially relative to land and sea ice
travel, will probably be used as he
himself intimates, to disprove Cooks
ability to travel with two inexper-
fenced boys over the sea of ice
In short, if Peary's claim to be the
real discoverer of the pole is estab
lished, it will be very largely through
his devoted adherent and companion.
Whether or not that claim be estab,
lished, Peary's journey to the pole
will be of the greatest scientific value,
and here again the help of Matthew

Farthest South-The Dash for the

(McClure'S Magazine for October.)
Day by day the summit of Erebus
heralded more and more distinctly
the return of the sun, which was
below the horizon for a total period
of one hundred and twenty days. The
end of the long night was near, and
when the darkness was giving way
to a sort of dim twilight, we began
to make preparations for the sledg-
ing expeditions.
During the winter, of course, we
had been giving the best attention
possible to our ponies and dogs We
were a very small community, and the
extent and success of our work was
dependent as much on the condition
of the animals that were to draw
the sledges as on the fitness of the
men themselves. The first step was
to find out what weight the ponies
NClO dCludlly CdDClUlC VI DullluS, anu
to this end the sledges were loaded
with known weights, and the ponies
exercised up and down a measured
two miles on the sea-ice. Every day,
except when the billiards. stopped us,
they were taken out, and they were
soon in good, hard condition.
We arrived at the conclusion that
the best results would be secured if
$50 pounds per pony were made the
maximum weight to be carried on
the sledges, this weight including the
weight of the sledges themselves,
which have already mentioned was
about 60 pounds each. Some altera-
tions were made in the motor-car in
order to reduce it's weight, all super
f1uous gear being taken off; and its
performances on the sea-ice were so
that we had high hopes
for the future. Before testing the car
on the Barrier surface, however.
decided to make reconnaissance
toward the interior in order to see
what the actual conditions were I'M
der the low temperature that would
prevail.
On August 18th, about ten days be-
fore the sun returned to us, started
off with Professor David and Army
tage on a journey south. We expert
enced low temperature and one heavy
blizzard. The thermometer often re-
corded from so to sc degrees below
zero, and the discomfort of sledging
in the semi-darkness made us ap-
preciate the warmth and light of our
little hut when we returned on Aug
ust 10Th.
The surface of the Barrier seemed
to me to be impracticable for the mo-
to-car, owing to the tremendously
heavy snowfall, which was much
greater than on the Discovery eXpedi-
ton, but I decided to give the machine
trial at a later date.
When we three got back from that
sledging expedition, the eyes of the
members of the expedition who had
never sledged opened wide at the APP
petites we had developed. Porridge,
bread and butter, and large quanti-
ties of seal stake disappeared with
astonishing rapidity, and after that
we were inclined to lapse into con-
dltion of somnolence.-By Lieutenant

PEABODY COLLEGE.
harvest.

The settlement of the Peabody Col
lege controversy has advanced another
step, but the horizon is not yet entire
ly clear of turbulent features. The
county court is playing the star role
now and threatens to withhold the
bonds deposited in local bank for
the Peabody College.
We have not been able to learn
just how all of this fund was taken
from the Negroes, but it seems that
the Negroes are not much concerned
about it. 1t is a pity that the lead
ing men and women show so little
concern about the education of the
youth Tennessee will never be what
it ought to until the people have a
good average education. We need
every dollar we can get for educa-
tional purposes, but we cannot hope
to get it without seeking it. We must
show an interest in the matter.
1t was originally intended that the
Peabody Fund go to train teachers
for all the people in the South, but
the original purpose seems to have
been lost sight of. 1t behooves the
Negroes of the South to get their
eyes open to these facts.
