tied several sites purposely to ascer-
tain the facts as reported by this spe-
cial committee. AT the meeting last
night it was unanimously decided that
a house to house canvass would be in
augurated and that every man of prom
inence would be buttonholed, if the
term might be used, in the interest of
the Agricultural and Normal College.
1t is plainly admitted that the people
Of Davidson County are forcibly i'm
pressed with the Industrial and Nor
NAL educational idea for the Negro
boys and girls of this state, so they
have planned a mammouth mass-meet-
ing which will be held at the Ryman
Auditorium on Easter Sunday after
noon at $3.50. The auditorium has
been secured, music will be on hand
and what has already been acceded
as the greatest demonstration ever
made by all the Negroes of Nashville
along one line is assured 1t seems
that everybody is working on the love-
feast order. Harmony prevails and
those who have a talent seemingly Of
fer it to be used in the interest of Sc
curing for Davidson County this much
needed state school, A list of the
committees, officers and citizens who
are working in behalf of the school
was published some time ago in the
Nashville Globe, but since then the
list has almost trebled, In fact, it
would appear that every Negro in
Nashville is a committee of one. If
not already pressed into service, they
will be within the next four or five
days. The plan is outlined by the
Woodworking ones, who seem never to
tire of talking Normal School, and
they are making sharp, hot and eff
fective campaign, so that the state Of
6cerg of Tennessee, those who are to
pass on the site, will know that Nash
vile is interested and the whole
county is working in the interest of
what will prove to be helpful to the
state. They are relying but very lit
tie upon the arguments heretofore pro-
duced, showing Nashville's geographi-
cal advantages, but it seems that they
| have decided that in spite of this and
their prior claims they will nail an
other peg down, hold what they have
and establish clearer title for her
right to claim the first Agricultural,
Normal and Mechanical School to be
located in the Volunteer State for Ne.

INDUSTRIAL AND NORMAL EDU-
CATION.

The public has possibly been await
ing some important news concern
ing the activity of the special
committees appointed some time ago
to look after the locating of the Nor
nal and Industrial School provided
for by the recent legislature. A
Globe reporter writes that the plans
and preparations made some time ago
to secure the location of this school
for Davidson County have not Jagged
one whit. Three rousing meetings
have been held within the past week.
The Committee on Location and Site
appears to be the most active They
held an important meeting on Thurs
day night, March 10th, at the Office of
Taylor & Co. Good attendance and
splendid meeting are reported to
have been the result, together with
several selections of sites, any Of which
would be favorable and well-suited for
such a school.
On last Monday night another meet
ing was held. This was a mass-meet-
ing and judging from the amount of
enthusiasm noticeable, it appears that
all Nashville is interested in the To-
cation of the school and would offer
all kinds of inducement if it were put
in Davidson County, preferably in
close proximity to Nashville. A spe-
cial party composed of some Of the
leading business men in the city Wis

"sHE sTooPs TO CONQUER"

Not since the rendition of Mother
Goose" at Fisk last year has there
been such widespread interest in
any of the many affairs as was
shown in the five-act drama "She
Stops to Conquer" that was present
ed on last Friday evening and Satur-
day matinee by the Junior Glass. The
entertainment, although late in open
ing and quite lengthy, proved very
high class and entertaining in every
act. The size of the audiences, at
both evening and matinee were evil
dences of this During the evening
a new star, a soloIst, Mr.. Leon
O'Hara, shot forth on the horizon of
Fisk's musical sky, who made a hit
singing eff l had thousand lives to
live" He sang with such ease,
earnestness and with so much class
that he was compelled to respond to
an encore, singing my Rosary"
The play was a production of DR..
Goldsmith and was given in the Me-
mortal Chapel.
The characters were: Sir Charles
NARROW, A. M. Lyle; Young NARROW,
G. H. Wesley; Hardcastle, H. P. Coop
err Hastings, C. H. Payne; Tony
Lumpkin, ]. G. Olden; Diggory, ]. e.

Hardcastle, Miss Hodges; Miss New
lille, Miss CALDWELL Miss Hardcastle,
Miss Parks; Dolly, Miss Tucker, Di-
rector, Mrs. Mary l.. Horne.
The Fisk-Meharry Orchestra, which
furnished music for the occasion was
composed of Welters, first violin;
Miss Holland, second violin; Miss
Edna Cameron, mandolin; Miss Bes-
sic Williamson, mandolin; Bailey,
cornet; Bates, trombone; Clayborne,
drums; Searcy, piano. Much credit
is due to Mr.. R. N. Arthurton, bust
ness manager, who seems to know
how and what to do to make the peo-
pie come out. There was a general
whispering of compliments on all
sides for the entire company.
