FRIENDS OF MERCY HOSPITAL
INCREASING.

From the encouraging reports that
have come, in various portions of the
United States, a deal more interest is
being manifested in the Hubbard Hos
pital than heretofore. 1t will be re-
membered that an organization which
has for it's purpose the establishment
of a hospital will meet the re-
quirements of Greater Nashville with
its large literary and professional in
stitutions of learning. Although the
actual work on the hospital has not
started, it is assured that it will be
built The name selected Hubbard
Hospital, is guarantee in itself that
ere long a cOmmodious, well-ftted,
well-built and ompletely-furnished
charitable institution that will serve
the growing demands of the Meharry
Medical College, that will accommo-
date the numerous physicians and sur
geons in Nashville as we'll as the
scores Of patients being brought here
from far and near adding much to the
importance Of this city, will soon be
in operation. At a recent meeting Of
the Hubbard Hospital Association the
subscription list was swelled consider
ably. Friends, students of the various
departments of Walden University.
with a few business men from out Of
Nashville, are said to have sent in
healthy subscriptions. There is no
great amount of noise being made by
those interested in the hospital, and
vet it can be safely predicted that
the interest already aroused is not
waning The plan to hold several
large mass-meetings is meeting the
hearty and general approval of the
promoters. While they have not
asked for public contributions the sub
scription books have never been closed.
The alumni associations of all the de-
partments of Walden, especially the
Meharry Alumni, have planned such a
campaign for 1910 as will bring in
a few thousand dollars. 1t was Dean
Hubbard's recent trip to Texas that
that was so convincing Of how the
even in the Lone Star
State, regarded this movement. And
then the recent important clinics that
were held in the city demonstrated
the need of such a hospital that would
be directly at the command of the
medical profession. 1t would be sur.
prising if the general public knew the
of dangerous cases that have
been brought to Nashville and success
fully operated on even with the disad-
vantages that must be overcome in
many respects. Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi, Arkansas and
have contributed a large
Of these patients.

The educational advantages of the
city of Nashville attract no small
number Of people throughout the va
rious states, who have watched Nash
ville's educational growth for the
past quarter of a century They COM
pare the advantages, location, the in
stitutions and the people of this city
with those of other cities that vie
with it for supremacy along these
lines. When it is taken into consid-
GRAFTON that the denominations have
their schools here, and with those
that are to be located here in the
near future, because of this fact, one
is not surprised at the advantages
enjoyed here. That other states,
supporting state institutions consider
this the right and proper place for
the location of the state school be-
came more evident last week when a
commission composed Of three mem
bers of the faculty of the West Vir-
ginia A. & M. College, located at
Institute, W. Va, came to the city
and looked carefully into the manage
ment of the educational facilities Of
Tennessee. The personnel of this
commission consisted of Prof. Aus
tin w Curtis, NJ S. Agr., in charge
of the Agricultural Department;
Charles E. Mitchell, Expert Account
ant; and j. M Canty the Superin.
tendent of Mechanical Industries
This commission of informed, cul-
tured Negro educators left no stone
unturned whereby information could
had Just what their findings will
be is a matter yet to be determined.
They were, however, somewhat sur.
prised to find that Tennessee had no
established agricultural college for
Negroes, They stated to a Globe re-
porter that they were pleased to
learn that the recent legislature had
made an appropriation for a Negro
Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical
College. The state of West Virginia
sent this commission to the South
with view, it is said, of improving
upon the school work being done by
their state school, which is located
just outside of Charleston.
Prof. Chas E. Mitchell has the dis
tinction of being the only Negro in the
world a member of the International
Expert Accountants Association. His
cone ction with the commercial depart
ment of the school at West Virginia
is regarded as one of Importance.
Each of these gentlemen came high
ly recommended, being we'll up in the
fraternal affairs of the state They
were personal friends of the late SUI
preme Chancellor Starks.
Aside from taking in the three uni
they saw the business side Of
Nashville, visiting among other places,
the two Negro banks, two Negro
establishments, and The
Nashville Globe. They went from
here to Tuskegee Institute 70 attend
the conference. From Tuskegee they
go to Atlanta and look after Geor-
gia's manner of educating the
Negro From Atlanta they 90
to Knoxville to visit the Knoxville
College to see for themselves what
is doing at what has been
styled the branch of the University
Of Tennessee. This commission showed
that they we're we'll posted and
knew the laws governing the educa-
tional department of some of the
leading states of the Union.

The first annual meeting of the
PEOPLES Saving Bank and Trust Com
pany was held in the rooms OF the
bank building Monday night, Jan, IL,
1910 The meeting was called to or
der by DR.. R. r. Boyd, the president,
of the bank. Rev. w. S. Ellington
led in prayer. The president then in
an impromptu speech told Of the work
ings of the bank. He congratulated
the stockholders on being present and
urged every one to feel free to enter
into the business of the meeting. 1t
was shown by the speaker that during
the five months of it's existence, the
bank had made an enviable record.
This bank started just short time
before a bank failure happened in
Nashville, and following in close sue
cession were several failures in other
cities. ''but," said the speaker, I'VE
had the peoples when they came for 1t.
but like the old German, when they
found that we had it they were salts
fed to let us keep it" Another state
ment made by DR.. Boyd, and one that
pleased the stockholders was the an
nouncement that absolute harmony eX-
listed between the officials of the Peo-
ple's Savings Bank and Trust Company
and those of the One-Cent Savings
Bank.
The minutes Of the last stockholders
meeting we're read and approved. Mr..
It. G. Ewing, cashier, read his report
as follows.
Gentlemen, Members of the Board of
Directors and Stockholders Of the
Peoples Savings Bank and Trust
Company:
I beg leave to report to you the fol-
lowing as the result of the business
of the bank for it's five months eXis-
tence:
We opened the doors of the bank
on July 81, 1909, at o'clock a. m.
We have held the same open since that
time from 9 a. m. until p M for
about a month and half. But it was
found that the work Of the bank was
very heavy, owing to the fact that
our depositors were very numerous
and the amount of each was very
small, and therefore great deal Of
work was entailed upon the teller and
cashier. On account of which, we
were compelled to work to q late hour
at night. So it was decided that the
bank would open at a. m. and close
at 8 p. M, and we are now carrying
out the decision of opening at 8 a. m.
and closing at p. M, each day in
the week, except on Saturday, for on
that day we open at a. m. and close
at 8 p M, but after remaining closed
until p, m. we open again at that
hour and remain open until p. m,
for the purpose of accommodating the
laboring class of people who get their
pay late.
We have established some confidence
In the community, which is shown by
the following amount of business that
we have done since the opening of the
bank. The following is the total
amount of the clearings of the bank
for the five months, each months work
being stated separately, to-wit:
July 81, 1909, Opening day. .$5,325 27

Richard c. Adams, an attorney at
Washington, Adams had said he had
an arrangement by which he was to
secure 5 percent of the profits" to
be derived from the McMurray con.
tracts.
He also told me-" testified Mr.. Car.
ter that Congressman b. s. Mcclure
was in on the deal and would get his
share. He also told me that DR..
Wright, a delegate for the Choctaw
Indians at Washington with a salary
of $4,000, was in on the deal He also
said we've got some Others but he
did not mention any other names"
Did Adams say he was going to
get percent of all the money Nc.
Murray was to realize on the deal?"
asked Chairman Charles S. Burke.
He said he was going to make sure
of it, as MeMurray had double-crossed
him at other times, but this time he
was going to fix it so he wouldn't lose
out, and when McMurray got his 10
percent, or $3,000,000, or whatever it
amounted to, he was going to get 5
percent of the proceeds.
Il also met Jake l.. Hamon at Wash.
ington. He told me to go to that
old man Gore and get him to withdraw
that fool bill of his against the Nc.
Murray contracts"
Congressman Carter, who is part
Cherokee Indian and who was for two
years member of the house commit
tee on Indian affairs, was next asked:
DO you think majority of the In.
dams are in favor of the 40 percent
for McMurray?"
There is no doubt that they are"
he replied
But there is also no doubt that in
signing contracts many were infiuenc.
ed to do so by persons who have an
interest in them"
Adams was described as a Delaware
Indian, who frequently has been men
toned as having called on President
Taft, on matters pertaining to Indian
affairs. 1t was Adams to whom the In
dams in this state were asked to ad-
dress kilograms urging President Taft
to approve the sale of the lands. Nc
Murray is the holder of the contracts
by which, according to Senator Gore,
a 10 percent. or $3,00O,000 attorneys
fee" would be allowed. Before Carter
left tie stand NcMurray's attorneys
obtained from his testimony tending
to show that Mcclure in previous In
dian matters had supported measures
in congress opposed to the interests
of McMurray.
