PROF. WASHINGTON IN CO.
LUMBIA.

If any doubts had before existed as
to whether or not a sufficient crowd
would be present at the Columbia Ope-
"a House last Saturday night to salts
fy the expectations of the committee
on arrangements, all were entirely dis
PEELED when long before o'clock p.
M, the hour programmed for the
speaking of DR.. B. T. Washington, the
announcement came to headquarters
that the auditorium, gallery and lower
floor were packed, standing room even
could not be had. From the fact that
the audience had assembled one hour
and half in advance of the speaker,
plainly shows the feeling OF enthusi-
asm that prevailed and the eagerness
which the people here, irrespective of
race, displayed in their desire to well
come this deservedly great man. Over
one thousand seats were occupied and
fully as many persons could not even
gain admission to the passages leading
to the entrance. 1t was indeed
large and enthusiastic assembly, all
bent on hearing or seeing the distin-
guished Negro.
Dr. Washington and staff of twenty
to twenty-five of the leading business
and professional Negroes of Nashville
and other points, arrived at the sta
ton at 7:40 p. m, and were duly re-
ceived by the local committee, escorted
to the waiting carriages and conducted
TO headquarters. The scene at the
depot and along the line of march
was an imposing, not to say spectacu-
lar one. Never before had such
scene been witnessed The demonstra-
ton was spontaneous, full of inspira-
ton. Owed one hundred school chill
dren in vehicles, waving gay banners,
was striking feature of the parade.
Following in buggies and Surveys and
on foot was the mass of citizens OF
Columbia and from all over the county.

opened by a chorus rendered by the
choral class of the Columbia High
School. DR.. T. w. Stephens, chairman
of the local committee, introduced Mr..
W. D. Kelley, who in most graceful
speech presented DR.. Washington to
the audience. Dr. Washington seemed
at his best; he spoke over one hour
and half and had full command of
his audience, speaking with his charac-
teristic vigor and alternately. to black
and white along practical, business
and racial lines. He urged the Negro
to be frugal, to be reliable, to create
a demand for the best kind Of labor
performed in its most skillful manner;

Recent Inspections.

Rev. E. P. Anderson, Secretary of
the State Board of Charities, told a
reporter for The American last night
of inspections he and Rabbi Levin
thai have lately made in Nashville,
Memphis and other places. The city
workhouse, he said, in Nashville was
found to contain many conditions
which should be removed at once.
The other institutions he visited in
Davidson County were in fairly good
condition, he reports. The Shelby
County workhouse is found to be
about all, apparently, that Gov. Pat
terson found there-darkness and dis
ease and misery.
"The day we were there" said Rev.
Anderson, at was raining, and the
rain was overfowing some parts of
the floors. The cells were so dark
that one could not stand on the out
side and see the inmates. 1t was
about the same at Jackson. Lavato-
ries were found overlooking and the
odors were simply sitting"
The intention of lettering the con-
dition of unfortunates was shown
emphatically yesterday when the
Governor put his name to a paper
llberating twelve sick, paralyzed, con-
sumptive wretches from the Shelby
County workhouse, which he has
Just visited in person.
Seven of these unfortunates he
found in the place which the imperial
county of Shelby calls her work
house." are Negroes-one only 10
years old. One has consumption in
its last stages. Three of the twelve
are paralyzed. All are diseased and
disabled, one whose right arm Is COM
pletely paralyzed, was there for the
terrible crime of sleeping in a box
car. The personal visit of the Gov
ernor, who went into the place and
saw for himself the conditions, re-
suited in the following order from
the Executive yesterday:
ITO all who shall see these pres
ents, and more especially to the Sher-
If of Shelby County: Greeting:
''Whereas, have personally in
spected the Shelby County work
house, and find the following pris-
oners, all confined for small offenses,
should be at once released, as it
would be inhuman to keep them
longer confined:
ED Walker, colored, age 10 years
and small for his age, confined for
petit larceny.

with an unknown disease, confined
for involuntary manslaughter.

lie advised the white people to be

age him in his labOrs on the farm,
in domestic service, in his schools and

TIME REGISTERS FOR NASH
WILLIE.
TWO HawIey Patents Being Installed
in Postoffice. Splendid Device
Keeps Accurate Record OF
Employees.

The work of installing two HaWley
time register clocks, the only ones III
the South, is being conducted at the
postoffice. Mr.. w. D. Hawley, rep
rosentatiye of the Crouse-Hinds Com
nanv of Syracuse, N. Y, the manu-
facturers, is experimenting the IN
stallation of the clocks, and Will re-
main in Nashville for several days
until the office is running smoothly
under the new system. The HaWley
device promises not only to save d
vast amount of clerical work, but at
a glance will show the regularity Win
which clerk or carrier is performing
his duties.
The government decided to try the
experiment of a time regulator TWO
or three years ago, and about 100 In
ventions were submitted. All have
been eliminated with the exception
of the Hawley and the international.
In practically every Office where time
registers have been put in operation
the Hawley has been preferred, and
the reports on the instruments which
have been required by the department
show that in every case thus tar the
experiment has been success
There are only fifty of the Hawley
clocks in use in post-offices, tnclud-
ing the two at Nashville, but in the
event of their universal adoption by
the government, more than 1000 VIII
be required.
Postmaster Wills succeeded in OBJ
tanning two of the clocks for this Of
flee while in Washington last sum-
mer. the only Southern postoffice so
favored, and he will make a report in
regard to their success here. He Is
enthusiastic over the samples of the
work done by the Hawley.
The Hawley patent, while of value
to any business house employing
large numbers fmen is particularly
adapted to the needs of large post
office, where, oftentime, a carrier is
forced to register as many as thirty
two times in twenty-four hours. The
machine not only keeps a record OF
the number of hours and minutes dur
ing the day for which the employe
should be paid, but the record on
the sheet is so clear that any tamper-
ing with the device could be Instantly
detected.
The Hawley clock consists Of a
clock of very simple construction,
which is connected with two cylin-
ders, each of which revolves once
every twenty-four hours. Each cyl
inder is covered with sheet of blue
paper divided into fifty sections by
parallel lines. The space contained
between these lines is sufficient for
a line for each day in the week.
There are fifty numbered keys for
each cylinder, one for each clerk or
carrier. When the employee begins
work he punches his key and the
steel point on the end of the key be
gins at once to make white line in
the corresponding numbered column;
when he quits work for any cause, he
pulls the key out, and while he is
off duty a blank space is left on his
record. The blue paper is sufficient
for one entire week, and when taken
off the lines show how many days a
