On Thursday of next week repre-
sentative African Methodists of Ten
nessee will assemble at the st John
A. M e Church in an educational raj
ly. A campaign has been svstemati-
cally conducted throughout the State,
and it is predicted that the largest
collection ever realized in that con-
nection will be laid on the table at
st. John Church next Thursday, Au-
gust 4.
There are three conferences in the
state and they are divided into dis
tricts. Each district is headed by a
presiding elder whose duty it is to
see to it that everv church raise a
certain amount The assessments
are made in proportion to the num-
her of members in the local churches,
and range from $100 to $4,000 The
plan is to raise $4,000 annually for the
purpose of erecting new buildings and
fostering Turner Normal College,
the state school of the African Metho-
dists in Tennessee. The institution is
an old one but has never been what

nomination believe it Should be, when
compared with the schools and col
leges conducted in other states by
the African Methodists. Starting
with North Carolina, every state in
the southern belt with possibly one
exception owns and maintains a
larger school than Tennessee, and the
members Of the denomination in this
state are growing weary of the rear
end of the procession. They eX-
press a determination to put their col
lege in the fore ranks.
The institution is at present locat-
ed at Shelbyville, but more pro
gressive men are of an opinion that
to make it what it ought to be will
necessitate its removal to some other
point. This question will come up
for discussion at the meeting of the
trustees Thursday ana those most
interested hope that definite action

VOTING HOURS IN CITIES.
Polls Will Be Open in Nashville From
g A, M. to 7 P. M,

In the twenty-five wards of the city
of Nashville the polls will be open
ten hours on August 4. They will
open at 8 and close at 7. In the dis
tricts of the county, they will open at
9 and close at 4. This is in accord
ance with a special election law
by the last Legislature In making
the announcement Sunday morning
the American stated that the polls in
the city would be open from II to 8
This was a mistake.
The following is the special act Of
the Legislature making the provision:
'Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly of the State of Tennessee,
That Chapter rs of the acts of 1S59-60,
passed March 1S, 1860, entitled: An
act to regulate the time of opening
and holding elections in this State be
and the same is hereby amended by
adding after the last word of said act,
the following: Except in cities having
a population of $4,000 and over, ac-
cording to the Federal census of 1900
or amy subsequent Federal census, in
which city the polls shall be opened
at a. M and close at Z p. M "

will be taken. Bishop H. B. Parks,
d. D., of Chicago, is bishop of Tennes-
see, and he is a progressive man. He
is anxious to put the college in this
state on a good footing, and is urging
the members of the churches to rally
to his support. If the school is
moved from Shelbyville it is not
known where it will be located, but
it is known that Nashville and Clarks-
vile are strong bidders. The senti-
ment seems to be in favor of a cen
trail location easy of access. The Afri-
can Methodists of local churches are
deeply interested in the meeting to
be held Thursday, and are making
a strong pull for Turner Normal to
be located here.

Mr.. Littleton, speaking in Knoxville,
said in part:
Colonel Brownlow was my best
friend and, heaven bear me witness
| was his friend. When his great
life went out, Tennessee lost it's
greatest man, the South lost it's best
friend, and the Nation gave up one Of
its greatest and brainiest statesmen.
Over yonder, in "The Circle" at
the Soldiers Home, which great in
stitution his brain conceived and
which his restless energy and mag
nicent ability induced a grateful Gov
e1nment to construct lies all that is
mortal of the mighty Brownlow-the
man whose great heart loved this dis
tr1ct and these people to the point Of
pathetic tenderness!
| would not disturb the peace of his
sacred rest by dragging his name into
this campaign, but for the fact that
his enemies who could not use him in
life are ghoulish enough in their
greed for place to try to use him when
his lips are sealed with the silence
of death and dust
But l will say as much as | know
his poor voice would ask me to say,
if he could speak back through the
dark gloom and solemn mystery be-
tween life and death. l will say-for
l know he would approve it-aye, If
after death the children of God know
of our acts, he does approve it-I will
say that this bold man of the noun
tains, who has left the impress Of
his genius upon this great section of
the South will say that in no bat
tie he ever fought did he hoist the
white flag to his enemies and tradu-
GERS; and now that he is gone, if his
friends surrended to Newell Sanders,
and II. Clay Evans, and Andy Wills,
who cruelty bounded him to the last
day of his great life, they are un-
worthy of the service he rendered
them, unworthy of the affection he
bore them, and unworthy of their fa-
theirs and grandfathers who stood fifty
years ago on the Nations side of a
conflict where there met the bravest
men in all the tide of time.
Walter BrownlOw stood for party
integrity; he stood for party honesty;
he stood for personal honor and per-
sonal integrity, and | hurl back at
these miserable puppets, who libelled
and slandered him while he lived the
suggestion that he would have been
with them in this contest. It is sa-
creligious for the unworthy foes of
this great man to write or speak his
name.
A few years ago, after he had whip
ped them from the field, and the Ear
lys and the Brooks and the Wills and
the other bellboys of the holy order of
Newell were creeping about to find
lodgment for their tired bodies and
official salaries to give them susten-
ance, they crawled on their very bel
lies to Brownlow; and when he
smiled they frisked about and wagged
their tails like so many dogs kow-
towing to their master. Mr.. Brown
low knew their purposes and de-
spised their methods, and in his heart
he loathed them for their fawning.
But Mr.. Brownlow did not want to
appear to be a party disturber and
he permitted them to be reappoint-
ed to Office in Middle Tennessee.
They pretended then that the we're

Course of the Sanders Crowd.

Murfreesboro, Tenn, July 26-The
Negro voters of Murfreesboro held a
meeting last nigh& at the local Odd
Fellows Hall. with DR. l. A. White,
Chairman, and Willie Henry, Secreta-
.ry. A resolution was introduced con-
demning the wholesale sell-out of the
Republican party, by Newell San
ders and others, to the bolting Demo
cratic faction Robert Butler, j..
II. Spence, Secretary bf the boiling So
ciety, and DR.. Harding strenuously op-
posed the resolution but it was
adopted, only the votes of Butler,
Harding and one other being recorded
against it. The three voters who op--
posed the resolution made vicious at
tacks on the straight ticket, and
those Republicans who refused to be
sold to the bolters, the leaders of the
straight Democratic faction, led by
Drs. White, Hickman, Rev. Henderson
and others advised conservatism.
The result of the vote demonstrated
that the Negro voters of Rutherford
are thoroughly awake to their own
interest and have at last realized who
are their real friends, the old line
Democrats.

THE PEOPLE DEMAND
EVISION.

The people ara demanding that the
tariff be revised for the benefit of con-
sumers. Certain manufacturing inter-
terests were well taken care of when
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law was en-
acted. The people realize that con-
sumers were given no relief whatever
from the burden of high import duties.
According to the American Press-a
journal published in the interests of
the newspapers of the United States
a Just revision of the tariff is bound to
come. The Press says:
1.-THE tariff is going to be revised.
There is nothing pleasant in that state
ment, and business men in general will
not welcome revival of the tariff ques
ton. But it is bound to come and will
be one of the greatest political questions
to be thrashed out at the election of
some thirty senators whose terms ex-
pire in the next twelve months.
"Our officials at Washington could
not see their way clear to give Canada
a reasonable reduction in paper duties.
Quebec in turn has refused to export
wood pulp. What she will permit to be
exported is placed at such high figures
as to make it almost beyond reason.
"The majority of the wood pulp in
the United States comes from Maine,
and the supply cannot last much longer.
Prices must go up unless trade is
made with Canada. That must and
will be done.
THE paper trust is not going to lie
awake nights worrying over what
Quebec does or does not do. The
shortage of wood pulp means higher
prices for paper, and the trust is not
going to be the loser.
1.-The demand for the revision of the
tariff has started in Indiana, and it will
be carried into every insurgent state
in the Union, fed by the irresistible de-
mand of consumers for new deal.
''The business men of the country
may as well make up their minds now
as a year hence to meet the new con-
dition-let us hope not an unsettled
business condition-for the tariff will
be revised. 1t is written upon the wave
of public opinion in figures SO high and
Overpowering that nothing can stop the
demand -

SOCIAL BETTERME NT.

In recent talk before the Milwau-
kee Ministerial association Mayor Seidel
gave utterance to some very wholesome
truths. His subject was "Social Bet
terment," and among other things he
said that the clergy could do more to
advance the kingdom of God on earth
by providing clean and proper environ :
ments for boys and girls than in any
other way. He spoke of the many social
conditions which confronted the city,
and rightly held that work for social
betterment must begin with the rising
generation. Mayor Seidel said further
that he believed that the best solution
of the problem of keeping the young
folks from evil temptations is to offer
them something better. Here are his
own words:
"There was a day when the church
was social center by itself but creeds
have so divided neighborhoods that
bCIOOl uOuScS dIc u0cuCU lOI
pose. Young folks are full of vitality
and if you don't give them chance to
express themselves in clean way, then
they will find other ways. 1t is cheaper
to keep them from becoming criminals
than to correct them afterwards
Mayor Seidel called attention to the
the fact that out of each one hundred
children in Milwaukee but an average
of ten go into the high school. He
said
1--WE have parks and libraries for the
remaining ninety, but majority of
them go into factories, shops and mills,
working in their tender ages, as long as
grown men. Moral conditions are bad.
What are we doing for this class? /
advocate system of continuous educa-
ton"
The Mayor pleaded for the boys and
girls who are so restricted in a con-
gested city. and are deprived of the
pure air and sunshine. He held that
boys and girls should be permitted to
play in the parks. He said.
1.-The boys are forced to play in the
street. They break window and a
copper takes them up. Then there is ju-
venile court, probation, and all that sort
of stuff. 1t is all wrong, spending so
much money for all such things. The
money is spent at the wrong end
Mayor Siedel has performed public
service in dealing so fully and candidly
with the subject assigned to him by
the association. Milwaukee can make
herself truly famous by meeting and
solving the problems to which he has
called attention. Similar conditions
confront other cities, and when we re-
alize that the municipality should sup
plement the home in efforts to secure
better citizenship good beginning will
be made.

A Frost in Tune.

The Darlington Republican Journal:
Old settlers are now calling to mind
the fact that fifty years ago this coming
June we had freeze in the early part
of the month, when thermometers were
down to 80. Potatoes and other vege-
tables were frozen from the tops clear
down. Corn that was waist high was
also cut off, 1t is claimed that the
corn and potatoes both came up again
and made fair yield.
