Just what action the Negroes of the
United States are going to take concern
ing celebrating the Semi-C Centennial Of
the Emancipation Proclamation, recent
ly endorsed by the National Business
League which just closed its session
at Louisville, and which seems to
have met the approval of many bust
ness men throughout the country, is
deeply interesting the citizens of
Nashville for many reasons. The
probability of this city making an eff
fort to capture the celebration seems
bright. The invitation will ask that
the celebration be held in connection
with the annual Business League and
other annual gatherings, > such as
grand lodges, grand camps, national
associations and conventions, which
will make it a stupendous affair, one
that would equal in notbriety and
size the Centennial recently held in
this city, and be looked upon as the
greatest effort ever put forth by the
Negroes of the United States. 1t
would, no doubt, encourage the sus-
pension of the celebration for some Of
the odd and various dates usually OBJ
served by many states in the com
memorating their Emancipation, for
instance, some of the states, viz,
Texas and Arkansas celebrate June
10Th, other states celebrate some date
in February, while Tennessee usually
observes January 1st and sometimes
August 9Th The proposal TO celebrate
the fiftieth anniversary of the Negroes
emancipation is looked upon by Ten
nesseans as an opportune time to
unite the Negroes on sone day for OBJ
serving Abraham Linooln's famous
Proclamation To take advantage, Of
this occasion and show the rapid
strides the Negroes have made in fifty
years. The city of Nashville offers
itself as a mutual compromis' \ 80
far as location is concerned line
tenths of the entire population vi the
Negroes of the United States are with
in easy reach of Nashville, hence they
could meet, as it were, in middle ter
ritory Another advantage. that is of
fered in presenting the name of Nash
vile for this semi-centennial is that
practically all of the religious bodies
would agree to come to Nashville, to
hold special meetings -..
Three great religious denominations
look toward Tennessee as their head
quarters, and if sufficient pressure was
brought to bear and the matter came
to a showdown for casting about for
a place, Nashville would win and
undoubtedly, would be selected
as the city, as it offers the
best advantages. There are also re-

cords and happenings in Tennessee,
which, if revived, an exhibition such as
could not be surpassed would be pro-
Guced and the Tennessee people, who
are scattered to the four corners of
the globe, could be relied upon to come
this way and throw their great inf1u-
ence in this direction. 1t is believed
that North and South Carolina and
Virginia, knowing that they are too
far removed from central location.
would be willing to cast their influ-
ence toward the selection of Nashville.
The matter is being quietly, but
effectively, agitated in this city, and
is likely to take on larger proper
tions in the way of state effectiveness,

have reached the tremendous figure

statement, does not include more than
dozen various song books. The re-
ceipts for the past fiscal year climbed
up in the neighborhood of 100000,
all of which will be received by the
great family of Missionary Baptists

report pays a flattering compliment to

the result Of DR.. Boyd's foresight and

people and the denomination. He re-

Columbus, O., SEPTEMBER 16.--
Emerging from obscuritY, coming on
he scene like sky-rocket, ,aQis the
characteristic way in which the Sec
retary, Treasurer and Manager of the
National Baptist Publishing Board,
located in the city OF Nashville,
Tenn, came before the Negro Bap-
lists of this country. FDr. Boyd made
his report to this body in its twenty
ninth annual session in Columbus last
week. The report was read in the pres
enco' Of an immense audience which
completely filed the Columbus Audi
torium. It was the greatest report ever
sFered to the convention by this
Board Notwithstanding the splendid
reception given the report each year
heginning with the first, which was
made at Boston, Mass, 1897, when
tlie convention went wild with enthu-
sfasn after the Secretary had Ia
bored for twelve months and brought
IN report showing that a Negro
Bantist Publishing Concern existed
and that thev had given, for the first
time, Negro Baptist literature Of their
sWn production. both brain and
brawn. The demonstration in Co'um-
bus was almost a repetition of those
scenes. The reports vary only in
point of magnitude. The first was
concise and explicit. this one is filled
from beginning to end with facts that
stand ont in bold relief Of the snlen-
did work being accomplished in Nash
vile, Tenn, under the management OF
a Board OF which DR.. Boyd is Secretal
~. There are many important facts
in this booklet of forty-odd pages
compiled and printed for the informa-
ton Of the family of Baptists mum
hering, according to their statiscian's
report. about two and a half million
r. shows that the Negro Baptists not
euIv lead in number and quality OF
publications, but that they are pio-
neers in printing, book binding, man
rfacturing and authorship Of new re.
ligioug literature. The report shows
that they lead in the machinery line
The Baptists are not the first, how
ever, to own plant, as they came
into the arena Of publishing houses
last, but under wise and judicious
management. AS shown by each
wears report, they have gradually
forged to the front, until to-day it is
admitted that they are superior In
every respect. Such machinery as is
described and reported before the
bedy to-day cannot be found in an
other plant in the known world owned
