pursue their studies generally with

Here is the accent of justifable self
respect, and this note is now to be
heard in the utterances of many Ne
groes. No matter how depressing the
circumstances in which they labor
and in spite of the handicap which
the wreckless and headstrong class
Of Negroes place upon their fellows,
still his virile note of optimism S
sounded. 1t is an indication of the
essential w~holesomeness and sturdi-
ness of the ace. 1t is, indeed, the
the voice of courage. To this endur-
Ing virtue there is being added a quail
ity much more subtle-that of taste.
This is teaching the Negro mot to
lose himself and his racial individu-
atty by bleaching into the white"
"The Negro" Prof. Miller thinks, "is
building up his own society, based Oh
character, culture, and the nice amen
tiles of life, and he can find ample
social satisfaction within the limits
of his own race"
Indeed, no one can attend one of
the literary or social affairs of the
Frederick Douglas center in this city
without realizing that. Here there
is 10 usefulness, no desire for the
companionship of the white people.
These well educated men and women,
leading busy and useful lives, accept
ing their limited opportunities with
a proud patience, are sufficient to
themselves. They make their own
wit, their own music, form their own
views, and live their own lives. They
do not constitute the fringe of white
society; they are the necleus of anoth-
er society and one in which time and
great enjoyment is to be had. Nor
can Chicago afford to be ungrateful
to the chief resident of that social
settlement, the Rev. Celia Parker
Woolley, who organized and who con-
ducts it, providing for the aspiring
eolored people a fitting place of meet
ing where they may indulge and fos-
ter their taste for whatever is social
ly and Intellectually fine and high.

LETTER FROM THE NASHVILLE
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.

To the National Negro Business
League, Booker T. Washington, Pres
ident, New York, N. Y.
Gentlemen:
The Negro business men of Nash
vile, associated together known as the
Local Business League Number One
of Nashville, Tennessee, have for some
time viewed with deep interest the
Importance of a National Negro Semi
Centennial at some point in the South
ern States, where the progress of the
recently emancipated people, religious
ly, Intellectually morally and financial
ly, might be set forth to the civilized
world by exhibiting the progress made
by the recently emancipated Negroes
of America in the erection of church
es, the building and operating of ed
vocational institutions, the religious
and moral developments of the rising
generation, the improvement and prog
ress made in agriculture, horticul-
ture, mining, manufacture, mercantile
and financial pursuits. We earnestly
urge your body to carefully consider
the Importance of the appointment Of
a strong commission, both state and
national, equally representing each Of
the interests and that you fix upon a
definite time and place for holding such
an exposition, regardless of what state
or national legislators may or may
not do in the way of financial aid;
that each of the above named inter
ests be called upon to contribute their
quota or pro rata of this expense.
We further invite your attention to
the geographical advantages of the
state of Tennessee and the city Of
Nashville for a suitable location for
holding such an enterprise. The gener-
al public sentiment in Tennessee and
the racial relations are such as would
justify your body in settling upon the
capital of the state of Tennessee as its

A new ACCENT IN NEGRO PROGRESS.
(Chicago Sunday Tribune, August IA. 1900

There is no question of politics or
industry, important as these subjects
are, which consumes so much of the
thought and time of the men of the
south as that relating to the Negro,
and, while the man of the north is
able to relegate it farther into the
background and to get a better per.
spective upon it, he, too, is much con-
cerned about it, and holds and voices
his opinions. He has, moreover, often
gone so far as to mistake his preiu-
dices for facts, and he reserves a mum,
Der of epithets to employ in these dis
cussions and uses them with SUCH
zest that they hypnotic him into the
belief that they are justified.
1t cannot come amiss to review from
time to time the situation in which
the American Negro finds himself.
Compelled to keep in the back yard
Of civilization, punished even for such
poor forms of success as winning a
prize fight, he remains, in spite of all
the worst members of his race can
do to discountenance him, a figure of
increasing dignity. 1t is but forty
years since the shackles were stricken
from him and he struggled out with
misplaced confidence in the good will
of the superior race by which he was
surrounded, to play his Independent
part in the great scheme of western
civilization. Refused credit for his
virtues, laughed at for his imitation,
condemned for his divergences, be-.
wildercd, lonely, seeking compensa-
tons for contumely in ways which
naturally enough often were base and
shameful, consigned to the worst
parts of all communities, he has come
up haltingly yet surely to a place
where the summing up of his
attainments is, in spite of all, a
credit to him.
Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard Uni
versity, says of his people: within
forty years of only partial opportuni-
ty, the American Negro has cut down
mis- illiteracy I've fifty per cent; has
produced a professional class some
$4,000 strong, including ministers,
teachers, doctors, authors, architects,
engineers, and is found in all lines of
listed pursuits in which white men
are engaged; 5000 Negroes have taken
collegiate degrees, over 300 being
from the best institutions in the north
and west established for the most
favored white youth; there is scarce
ly a first-class institution in America

1880 East Nc Lemore avenue,
Memphis, Tenn.
August Is, 1910.
Editor OF the Globe:
Permit me to reply to an article in
your paper of August 9Th inst. This
article which claims to be written
from this city, predicts a split in the
Tennessee Baptist State Convention.
We do not know who the writer is,
and have been wondering who he
could be and are surprised to read
such an article in your paper re-
speeding our convention without any
name signed, Its a little suspicious
On this end Of the field.
However, whoever he Is he must be
an outsider, a newcomer or a dissat-
isfed office seeker, because no we'll
informed, honest Baptist would have
written such an article. 1t is claimed
by the writer that there are between
80 and 70" organized Baptist
churches in this city which usually
send 80 or 40 representatives to the
state convention and from West
Tennessee 100 or $50 and the fact
that not more than Is representatives
went from Memphis, he gives as ev-
idence in support of his prediction.
There may be between 60 and 70
organized Baptist churches in Mem
phis, but those of us who have been
trying to keep up with this part OF
the business have been counting be-
tween As and so.
But grant that there be as has
been said, between go and TO-"
what about the falling off in represen-
tation in the State Convention.
There has been no falling off,
but there was rather an increase in
attendance at the Columbia conven-
ton. The records will show that
the churches represent largely only
when the convention convenes in
Memphis. OF course we did not
have as many women as we usually
have, but it was not on account of
any dissatisfaction in rne manage
ment of the convention.
The records will also show that
the following churches are the ones
which usually represent in the con-
vention no difference where we con-
vene.
First Baptist, Chelsia; st. John,
Charleston street; Metropolitan,
Vance and Desota; Lebanon, Flori-
da street; Gilfeld, Virginia avenue;
New Salem, Preston street; First
Baptist, St. Paul avenue; Tabernacle.

location. We also promise as business
men to do all in our power, and we
believe the political conditions are
such in Tennessee that If it were
known that your body contemplated
holding such an enterprise in the cap
ital city of the state, that our legisla-
tors, together with our business men,
would contribute largely. We Will
guarantee sufficient grounds with both
steam and electricity railway facili-
ties to thoroughly accommodate such
an enterprise. We feel confident that
our park grounds would be thrown
open and given fully into the hands
of the commission free of cost to the
institution and besides Mr.. J.. C. Ma
pier, Cashier of the One-Cent Savings
Bank, has been empowered by our
business league to fully set forth in

the business men of the state.

we'll adopted for such purposes. The
Nashville Street Railway Company is
carrying the street car line right to
this park gate. The car line is beiE s
rushed to completion by Labor Day of
this year. Nashville and the state Of
Tennessee asked the Endorsement of
the National Negro Business League for
this celebration and their request is
being f%avorably considered. They
further said that if the celebration
will come to them they will also en-
terrain the National Business League
and the National Baptist Convention
and Sunday-School Congress of 1913;
in other words a sweeping invitation
is handed out from the capital city of
Tennessee. The following letters
which were read to the National
League on Wednesday, the 18th, will
give some idea of the interest the peo-
pie Of Tennessee are taking in this
proposition.

NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE.

The tenth annual session of the Ma
tionai Negro Business League is in
session in New York City this week.
This organization is opening the eyes
of both the black and white man.
The Negro is becoming acquainted
with his brother in business; and the
white man is learning that the black
man is capable of conducting business
enterprises on a large scale.
Many important matters will come
up for discussion at this meeting. The
League in itself does not create special
organizations, but out of this annual
coming together several are develop
ing. The first to take tangible form
vas the bankers association, and now
we have associations of undertakers,
publishers and lawyers, all meeting
jointly with the League. 1t shows that
the American Negro is getting down
to business and the future outlook
grows brighter with the days.

All these were represented ex-
cept Tabernacle and First Church,

Church, Chelsia was not represented
the pastor, Rev. w. H.. Heard was
too sick to be present. We also
have among the new recruits Bethle-
hem, Molly avenue ana Rev. l. S.
Strong's church, East Memphis and
so far as West Tennessee is con-
cerned, we had our usual loyal repre-.
sentatives with the exception of
Revs. Father H. Smith, A. Parr, VIM.
Harwell and these were not present
because they were unavoidably him
dered. They belong to what the
writer of that article calls admins
tration forces. So it can be seen that
there is no evidence or a split in our
city-much less the State Conven-
ton.
Passing over what he says about
the schools and there being practi-
cally no unity of purpose among
those chosen to represent the inter
est as board members in this end of
the state and especially of the Bluff
City" etc. And coming to his final
words, he says that it was under
stood that the object of the president
of the National Convention attending
a session of our executive board was
to prevent a split, but that effort
was fruitless.
This is a Misrepresentation both
of DIR. Morris and the executive board.
AS an evidence of his ignorance Of
the object and power Of the National
Convention, notice what he says,
"The National Convention at the New
Orleans session will not be able to
foster any new plans or offer any
suggestions to remedy this"
If he were informed he would
have known better than make any
such statement as that, because, the
National Convention has nothing to
do with such matter The intelligent
thing for this writer to have done be-
fore saying so much about a split in
West Tennessee, saying nothing
about the state at large, was to
call up Covington, Ripley, Dyers-
burg, Union City, Martin, Mckenzie,
Paris, Lexington, Milan, Humboldt,
Jackson, Newbern, Denmark, White
Vile and Sommerville also Browns
Vile and Keeling and ask the pastors
at these places what about it. 81
have been told by a half dozen wei!-
informed leaders thai a split is in
evitable. What about it," Their
answer would have been to the con
trary, so that he would have either
not written at all or he would have
had a different article.
Yours truly,
WIN. COLLIER.
