pointment, in 1888 as chief constructor Of

United States were fitted out with the
hreproofed woodwork which gave them
such a decided advantage over the war
ships Of Spain during the conflict OF 1885.

soecial to the Nashri11e Globe.

New York Aug. 17-The tenth an
nual session of the National Negro
Business League convened this morn
ing at half past ten O'Clock in The
Palm Garden. The President. Booker
7. Washington. presided at the OPEN
ing session. The opening was conduct
ed according to the announcements Of
of the regular programme. Everv-
thing went off without a hitch. The
usual formalities in the way of intro
auctions and responses were observed.
There were manv good speeches but
to Hon Harry w. Anderson, the pol-
ished New York orator and statesman,
belongs the honor of the day. Mr..
Anderson is a forceful speaker and on
this occasion was at his best. After
the brief opening the league got down
to actual business, and under that
matchless leader DR. Booker T. Wash
ington, no time was lost in caveling.
Mr.. Ira T. Bryant, of Nashville, who
was to sneak on the Negro Publishers,
was unable to be present owing 70
sickness. Mr.. A. n Johnson, of
Nashville. conducted a very success
full meeting of the undertakers.
President Pettiford, of the Bankers
Association, made an excellent report
and advanced some good ideas that.
| If carried into practice will greatly
strengthen the Negro banks in the
country The most capital idea ad-
vanced by President Pettiford was the
establishment of a Bankers Central
Bank and Trust Association This
idea took like wild fire but no definite
action was taken on it. Mr.. H. A.
Boyd. of Nashville was introduced
and spoke of his proposed Bank Direc-
torv. He was given rapt attention,
and at the close Of his remarks was
admitted to membership in the asso-
citation, and to life membership in
the National Negro Business League,
and was also appointed on the COM
mittee on resolutions.
The attendance at this years meet
ing ecliDses any of former years.
Twenty-Five states are represented by
over two thousand business men, It
is hard to estimate the amount of
wealth represented at this meeting,
but those in a position to have a fair
idea of it do not think it would be an
exaggeration to put the figure at 800,
i 900 600. Men here have engaged In
every branch of business. and they are
receiving the courtesies that the
Yankees only can give.

LOSES PROPERTY ON GAY
STREET

If the reported loss or the Baptist
Young Peoples Union Board is true,
it means a setback to the work of
the Baptists in this city. 1t is re-
ported that the property of the Board
located at 400 Gay street has been
lost through failure to meet thier
payments and that the same was
taken over by a real estate firm.
No one in the office could give the
particulars in the case. The Secre-
tary of the board, Rev. DR.. Isaac,
was out of the city There was a
clerk in the Office and also Rev. w.
L. Craft, but they would give out
nothing. It is estimated that be-
tween $1,50O.00 and $1.6O000 had
been paid on this property, which
cost about 100000. The lot is a
spacious one and has a two-story
brick building on it. Located in the
building is the Office OF the superin-
tendent of missions for the state of
Tennessee, Rev. e. M. Lawrence, the
B. Y. P. U. Boards offices and the
Clarion Printing Company The real
estate firm that took over the proper
ty say they are perfectly willing to
allow the Board regain possession OF
the property on condition that all
past due notes with interest from
date be paid up. They say they have
no use for it whatever, but that the
payments were away behind and that
it was a business investment which
necesitated the action taken. The
secretary of this board, according tc
we'll informed Baptists reported tc
his convention last year at Columbus
/ Ohio, that he was compelled to deny
his customers their literature FOL
six months and take all the none!
sent in for the same to save the prop
erty. The loss, If true, will leave
practically but one board connected
with the National Baptist Convention
property owners in this city.

Tells His Race He Wouldn't Change
Places with Roosevelt and Ad-
vises Them to Join Him.
New York, August 18.-An old-fash-
Toned Arkansas darky, one of those
proud to call himself Niger" stood
up in the second days session of the
Negro Business Mems League here to-
day and vowed that he wouldn't change
places with Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt,
big a man as he is"
Come out with us, you niggers,"
ne told the New York niggers, "where
the air is free and God is good, and
where, if there is any gumption in you,
you can have more in a year than
you ever earned in all your life before
If you haven't dollar, I'll give you
farm and a chance. Come out to
Arkansas"
The speaker was introduced by
Booker T. Washington as Scott Bond,
of Madison, Ark.
"How much are you worth?" asked
an inquisitive delegate.
Scott Bond grinned. "Well," he
said, "down in Arkansas they tax us
so cents on every $1,000. pay a few
dollars less than $4,000 a year"
A little arithmetic shows that this
tax represents a capital appraised at
nearly $4OOO,00O, consisting Scott
Bond said, of his own farm, nineteen
farms rented to other Negroes, cotton
gins, twenty general stores and live
stock.

ooh Lord, bless our pastor, but don't

ance of a member of Mt. Zion Baptist
Church. The occasion of basket meet
ing at Coney Island Park-Peopl4
who attended outspoken in condemra-
tion of the place Card-playing, base
ball. etc-White men did all the sell
ing.
On last Sunday the people of this
city witnessed one of the most un-
usual spectacles ever seen in a civil
lived community, and if the vows
and expressions of those who were
present count for anything it will be
long time before such a scene is wit.
messed in Nashville again, if ever,
It had been fully advertized that
the members of Mt. Zion Baptist
Church will have basket-meeting at
Coney Island Park conducted in the
old time way Coney Island Park is
near the city. 1t is owned by white
man, but is run exclusively for Ne
groes. 1t was the general opinion that
the management running the park
would be entirely in the hands of col
ored men. but the people who went out
( Sunday were surprised to find it dif-
ferent.
/ The report that the basket-meeting
would be conducted in the old-fash-
ioned way brought between two and
/ three thousand people to the park. AS
soon as the people reached the
grounds a general complaint was be-
( gun as to the way things were being
conducted. The first complaint was
I that every way one turned some sort
of sport was being carried on-base-
hall games, card playing, flying jenny,
Old plantation show and the like. In
stead of an air of sobriety all was
gayety and sportiae. Another objec-
tionable feature and one that made
mothers vow to never let her daugh-
ters visit the place was the number
of white men on the grounds. One
gentleman who made a close, observa'
tion estimated that at least twenty
white men were on the grounds Every
amusement except one was conduct
ed by white man, and they are said
to have been making themselves very
muh in evidence.
The church people were to have full
POSSESSION of the park free of
charge, but when they arrived they
were told by the white proprietor that
they would have to hold their services
in certain part of the park, to which
an admission fee was charged. 1t Is
said that many of those who went to
hear preaching never did reach the
grounds set apart for that purpose
Under all these trying ordeals one
good old borther, when called on to
pray, uttered the following significant
remark: Lord, bless our pastor
brother Ferrell, and don't let him lead
us astray no more" When the good
old man uttered that prayer the con
gregation joined in a general amen!
amen! To cap the climax Of the day
the white proprietor called a Negro
boy around and came near melting 6
race riot. Coney Island Park is 6
new thing and is conducted in a new
way, but the people Of Mt. Zion left
there Sunday and vowed that it would
be their last visit
