Through this gap at little after eight appeared a small white cloud of dust, and we knew the first of the racers was coming. We had heard by telephone from QuartZsite that the Buick had overtaken tine Isotta and got away only four minutes behind. Another message from Ehrenberg at the same time announced the depar ture of the Tourist, the checker" which was coming in against time. There were eight cars on the road be- tween the two points, and guessing as to which car was coming in the nov ing cloud Of dust was indulged in by the small crowd present.

 From this point to Desert Wells a distance of about eight miles. the cloud moved in plain sight along a ridge. and about this time we saw that there were two cars close together. They were so near each other that at times the dust from the leading car hid the other completely. Then out of the rolling white cloud another swirl could

The Part of Patriotism to Sup
port Your Home Man in Every
Political Contest.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Having seen in your columns
several communicate ions from
prominent and influential citi-
zens of ovr county, calling upon
the voters to support their home
man in every political contest,
the writer desires to state that
he agrees with them heartily. To
do so is patriotism, pure and SIM
pie. No man, however worthy
he may be, can ever blame you
for supporting your home man;
in fact, if he is honest he will tell
you that this is right and proper;
but to vote against your neigh
Dor, who knows and loves you
best, is an offence against patriot
ism which can not be easily for
given. Place yourselves, if you
| please, in the same position, and
observe those who are dearest to
you working against your inter-
,ests, or rather ambition. 1t will
cause wound, the scar of which
will be ever visible. We say that
we love America and the Union
of States; that we love NorthCar-
DINA; that we love our county,
and that we love our townships
and our home, and as the series
decends, that our affection grows
the stronger. Let US, thereto =,
all things being equal, vote ano
= use our influence for the man
t whom we know and who knows
d US best, and thus show to the
=, world where our affection lies,

DAVIDSON COUNTY INSTITUTE.


The monthly institute of Davidson
County met last Saturday with an
unusual large attendance. The rea-
son being the day set for Prof. r.
L.. Jones to address that body Every
seat in the house was taken. The
house was called to order by Prof. e.
B. Buford, acting chairman. Prof. E,
w. Benton offered a fervent prayer for.
the continued, success of the institute.
and It's. work. The minutes of the
last meeting were called for, read and
approved. Prof w. r. Davis read an
interesting paper on one of the sub
iects of the secondary reading course.
Prof. j. P. Bate filled his place on the
subject of fractions. The regular pro-
gram was discontinued here as the
State Superintendent had arrived.
The, Walden Glee Club furnished
music for the occasion. They were
encored at the conclusion of their
first selection.
Prof R. L. Jones. was introduced by
Prof. w. H. Card. He began his ad-
dress by highly commencing the
music. He spoke with delight of this
bright age in which we live. He add
ed that all the refinement, develop
ment and modern day conveniences
have come to us through the channels
of education. The seeds of education
were planted here, said he, through the
works of such men as Geo. Washing
ton, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas
Jefferson. These names with others so
we'll known in most homes, continued
he, are persons whose labors have
given us these many advantages we
have to-day. The present legislature,
said he, has done a remarkable work
to advance the cause of education in
giving more ample educational facili-
ties. He emphasized the fact that
there is nothing great in the world
but man, and there is nothing great
in man but his mind When, through
the development of his mind, he is
! lifted from the channels of ignorance
! the purpose aimed at is to lessen
! poverty and to make. him better.

Superintendent R. L. Jones was ten

Glee Club, whose splendid selections
charmed all present, was given a vote
of thanks by motion of Prof. H. G.

REVIVAL SEASON SUCCESSFUL

Every year Immediately after the
holiday season. the church people of
Nashville beginy their revivals. They
have invited, from time to time, able
eFangelists and pulpit orators to con-
duct these meetings. These men have
worked faithfully and, as rule have
been rewarded with much success.
Nearly every church in the city is
either carrying on a revival or plan
ming to open one To date the most
successful meeting in point of numbers
has ben the revival at the Spruce
Street Baptist Church, of which Rev.
T. ]. Townsend is pastor. Spruce
Street, or the mother-church, has
broken her record for the past few
years in these meetings, and the ad
ditions from all sources according to
reports have been rs, and about 95 of
this number were baptized last Sun.

NoNPARlEL CLUB.

The Nonpariel Club held its first
anniversary at the residence Of Mrs.
M. E. Bryant, Market street The
home was beautifully decorated and
the imitation flowers which showed
forth the artistic work of the enter
tainer could but make one feel the
true impulse of spring. The exhibits
of the club were placed in the hall
and by a careless observer it could
be seen that time and energy had
been expended in order to have such
articles for the occasion. A two
course menu was served, after which
the president, Mrs. Bright, made an
excellent address and recited a poem.
There was quite number of visitors
many of whom were called upon to
speak. Their words or praise were
stimulating to the members of the
club, and furthered their determin-
alton to do better work in the future

One of the acts of the present Leg
2 islature was the passing by the low
er house of an educational bill which
provides for many thousands Of dol
lars for educational work. There
seems to be much dissatisfaction
among the Negroes of the State of
Tennessee with respect to the treat
3 ment they are. receiving. at the hands
of this great commonwealth by these
lawmakers. 1t is said freely that
they are not expressing the best sen
( tiInent of the State, neither are they
: complying with. the wishes of many
of their constituents which may be
construed, a majority of their con-
stituents. In the recent election the
Negroes polled quite a vote in this
state and they represent, according to
the United States Census, about one
fourth of the population of the entire
state A wellinformed business man
stated few days ago that they were
heavy taxpayers, taking Nashville as
a good basis, and yet there seems to be
great injustice or, in other words,
travesty upon the rights of decency
and fair play, or closing of the door
of hope, such as has been expressed
from time to time, when in this bill
only one-seyenth of the entire appro-
priation for education, amounting to
not more than sixteen thousand and
some hundred dollars was allowed.
In a recent dispatch from New York
it seems that the strings that have
tied up the Peabody Fund with that
board in New York have been loosed
by some one and that the entire mil
lion dollars is dropping Tennessee
ward with a likelihood of being land
: ed in Nashville for the celebrated
Peabody Normal. This augments the
educational fund and if added to the
other appropriation made by the
state, city and county makes an
enormous sum for educational .pur-
poses for white schools. The measly
$16,000.00 is not even welcomed, as
claimed that it is not just proper
tion nor worthy of passing either
house if it is intended for agricultur-
al. mechanical and industrial train
ing. Enough information has been
gained within the past several weeks
to lead to the conclusion that some
investigation is going to be made If
the present Legislature adjourns
without giving just proportion OF
the educational funds to the educa-
ton of the Negro youth. A promi-
nent attorney stated few days ago
that Tennessee's action was being
closely wathced and it was only mat
ter of waiting for the adjournment of
the legislature to see what they
would do before some surprises
would be sprung and possibly sensa-
tions created in educational circles.
While Kentucky is appropriating $780,
900 of $45,O0O for a new A. & M. Col
lege in addition to the one she al
ready has for Negroes and while she
is raising $2OOO00O0 for the new Be-
rea, and while every state North and
South is doing equally as much for
the education of the Negro youth,
hardly decent showing can be said
is being made by the Volunteer
State in looking after one-fourth of
her worthy population and citizen
ship

There seems to be no doubt about
the matter of rates for the coming
session of the National Baptist Sun
day-School Congress. The RAILROADS
North and South, East and West, are
working upon an excursion rate that
will enable every Sunday-school rep
resentative, missionary or educator,
to visit Nashville and take a part in
the great Congress Movement that is
attracting attention throughout the
country. In addition to this the sub
jects to be discussed at the congress
have" already been arranged Almost
daily those interested in this meet
ing are selecting and sending in their
subjects to the secretary. Others are
sending in their names and addresses
stating that they will be present and
take a part. Recent information
coming directly from Rev. M. w. Gill
bert, of New York City, is to the eff
feet that this Congress Movement has
broken the solid East. Many leading
men in New England have practically
agreed to come to Tennessee, take
part in and encourage this young peo-
pies gathering. The next two months
will be devoted to making detail prep
arations and unless the well-laid
plans, formed by the Board under
whose management the Congress will
be held, fail to carry, Nashville will
witness the greatest gathering of re-
llglous workers ever assembled. One
OF the features Of the Congress is go
ing to be the launching of an educa-
, ttonal campaign by Rev. T. ].
Searcy, of Memphis, Tenn, Chairman
of the Educational Board. An effort
is going to be put forth and plans laid
by which the National Theological
Seminary will be established. This,
/ of itself, it it were the only feature
of the Congress, would make Baptist
history, but it promises only to be
one of the many drawing cards. The
Program Committee that will be in
session at the Congress will have
time to take part in the deliberations
each day and then make the best
program for the next National Bap-
tist Convention that has been ar.
ranged Missionaries VINO have not
heretofore been able to have daily
conferences will find that there is
more in the mission work than ap
pears on the surface. Rev. William
Beckham, the Field Secretary, who
visits all the state conventions, will
make this his special department
calling all of the missionaries from
association to general missionary IN
these daily conferences. At the same
time the Home Mission Board through
DR.. ]. P. Robinson, of Little Rock
the chairman, will be meeting and de-
vising plans for a more aggressive
campaign. There are other features
which will be brought out and an
nounced by the secretary from time
}, to time. The subjects have already
been selected and given out. Both
denominational and secular papers
have used them for the benefit oi
their readers.
