part. What added so much to the ap-
p~earance and attraction was the uni
formity of costumes worn by the
members of the Society. After hours
of amusements in various ways,
luncheon was served on the grounds.
The young ladies spared no pains in
making this part of the program a de-
cided success. Each one feasted to
his hearts content and arose from
he banqueting table with a smile of
'~otisfaction, which was evidence that
he had been thrice blessed. The
Alpha Society is a new society of
Walden University, having been or
ganized this year by the influential
young ladies of the institution. It is
exercising a great influence for good
and the members of this society are
to be complimented for the work
which they are doing.

IN DUE SEASON.

The Negroes of Nashville should
wake up and begin to look around.
In a few months the municipal cleo
ton will take place. Pay your own
poll taxes and qualify to exercise your
franchise. The time to prepare for
war is when you are in harmony with
your neighbor. We have been pub
fishing from time to time portions of
the New Primary Law, that our read
ers may be informed. 1t happens toe
often that the Negro voters Of this
city wait until the election is over
to start to the polls. Every man
ought to exercise his franchise, and
the only way he can hope to do il
effectively is by learning how and
when to exercise it.

JUST AS DEAD.

A local daily in referring to the
lynching of a Negro in the state of
Alabama described it as being con-
Quoted very quietly, and gave as the rea-
son that the community in which the
l%ynching took place is under prohibi-
ton rule. The man murdered is Just
as dead as he would have beer if
he had been killed in a distillery. The
men composing the mob, if reports
are true. were not excited in the least.
Their passions were not inflamed by
strong drink, and they were in a
cool, calculating frame of mind when
they committed the deed. Therefore,
their condemnation will be the greater
in the day of reckoning.

SUNSHINE HOME NOTES

The meeting of the Christian Work
ers' Foreign Missionary Society was
a very interesting one. Mrs. Pow
ellis, formerly of Tuskegee, Ala, ad-
dressed the Society. Her subject,
The Lord is my Shepherd, l shall
not want" was very appropriate. She
spoke of the value of Christian work
and the interest being manifested
in different arts of the world. A
good audience was present.
Miss Tayma Chez has returned
from GAINESVILLE, where she was called
last Friday on account of the death

COMMUNICATION.

A Correction by Mr.. G. E. Treiber.
To the Nashville Globe:
lin your issue of April 23, giving
an account of a fight occurring On
the corner of Jefferson street and
Eighteenth avenue, North, the article
closes by saying that another
grocer in the same neighborhood had
uttered the remark that he would
like to line up all Negroes and blow
their brains out" or words to that
effect. Now | do not believe that
you would do me an intentional
wrong, or that you would misstate
the facts in this case, and l write you
so that you may correct the error in
regard to the statement as concerns
me.
| knew nothing of the fight until 1t
was over, knew nothing of the
auses that led up to it. l have been
in business in my present stand for
several years and conducted my bust
ness as a gentleman should; have
had no trouble with any one, extend.
ing business courtesy to- one and all
alike, and never uttered the remark
attributed to me nor thought of any
such remark; in fact, a majority of
my business is carried on with col
ored people, and any woman or child
coming to my place of business is
treated with the utmost poIiteness
and courtesy, seeing o hearing any
thing that would in the least offend
any one
While my name is no mentioned
in the article referred to-, | am the
only other grocer in the immediate
neighborhood and it might do me an
injustice unless it was corrected.
Respectfully,
G. E. TRNBER.

Hideousness Of Treachery.
TO the Nashville Globe:

1t may be said of treachery as some
bard has said of sin. that it is of
such hideous mien that to be hated
needs but to be seen" Men of healthy
minds, brave, manly men, are disposed
to make some allowance, ever though
it be meagre, for the shortcomings of
their fellows in most things, but for
treachery, never! That is the one ac-
cursed crime in the category of crimes
that brings down upon him who is
guilty of it the condemnation of all
courageous men.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, justi-
fies t%reachery. The mind in which
turks the base and sinister hallucina-
lions of this monster is a diseased and
sickly mind, one that ultimately must
feel the hell of the misery it has sent
forth; yes, the Nemesis of a just re-
tribution will some day scourge home
the sins of its perfdy with a whip Of
scorpions, so to speak, that will make
the mental and physical misery it has
caused but pastime to that which shall
revert upon itself in obedience to the
law of cause and effect or a reaping
what is sown, which, virtually, is
the i~rrevocable law of God. Strewn
along the passage of human affairs
there are noted examples of treachery;
but noticeable is the fact that in no
single instance have those who faith
cred any act of treachery escaped just
punishment.
Treachery may be likened to a two
edged sword which is more danger
Gus, hurtful and fatal to the wielder
than to the victim of the stroke. Bib
lical and p%rofane history show in what
utter contempt the crime of betrayal
is held by almost the entire human
race, Christian, heather, barbarian or
savage. Whether it is a Judas Isca-
riot or a Benedict Arnold, he is the
same contemplate bane of the world.
A word now and then along this line
by the many able speakers and lectur-
ers who are constantly before the peo-
pie would not be amiss.

GIVE THEM A PLACE TO PLAY!
BY Dennis A. Mccarthy.

Plenty of room for dives and dens
(glitter and glare and sin!)
Plenty of room for prison pens gath
er the criminals in!),
Plenty of room for jails and courts
(willing enough to pay!),
But never a place for the lads to race;
no, never a place to play.
Plenty of room for shops and stores
(Mammon must have the best!)
Plenty of room for the running sores
that rot in the city's breast.
Plenty of room for the lures that
the hearts of our youths astray
But never one cent on the play
ground spent; no, never a place to
play!
Plenty of rooms for schools and halls,
plenty Of room for art;
Plenty of room for teas and balls,
platform, stage and mart.
Proud is the city-she finds a place
for many a fad today,
But she's more than blind if she fails
to find a place for the boys to play.
Give them a chance for innocent
sport, give them a chance for fun!
Better a playground plot than a court
and a jail when the harm is done!
Give them a chance-if you stint
them now, tomorrow you'll have to
pay
A large bill for a dorker ill, so give
them a place to nay!-Journal OF
Education, Boston.
