OLD ROGER WILLIAMS GROUNDS
Transferred to New Peabody Nor
mall School for One Hundred
and Seventy Thousand
Dollars.

Another transfer of the old Roger
Williams property, out on the Hills
boro pike, which spot has been the
cause of many educational rallies
throughout the state of Tennessee,
which tract is dear to the hearts of
hundreds of students scattered
throughout the United States, the
very name of which has been the
source of inspiring the lives of hum
dreds of Negroes who have gone
forth into the world to make their
mark in life, was made this week
when it was announced that the new
deed to the Roger Williams property
had been recorded and filed. This
transfer conveys 25 or more acres
that once belonged to this Negro in
stitution of learning, Dut which.
since the disastrous fire, has changed
hands several times, and finally goes
to the new Peabody Normal School,
which school, it is said, has also
bought the adjoining property, just
across the pike from Vanderbilt
University. 1t is stated that the cou-
sideTation of the transfer, which in
cludes many lots near the Belmont
car line, was one hundred and sew
enty thousand dollars This transfer
records and closes every incident
that connects the old Roger Williams
ground with the Negroes of Nash
Vile or the state of Tennessee. The
extension of the car line in the front
of the property some distance out
the Hillsboro pike, and the building
of fine residences in that locality
will, no doubt, meet the requirements
of Greater Nashville" 1t will be,
possibly, the only section of the city
that can boast of three great white
schools within stones throw When
this school is built on the old Roger
Williams site, there will be on
what they now call college Heights
Belmont College, Peabody College and
Vanderbilt University.

the county court of Hamilton county
bad merely adjourned for a few days.
and when that body met again they
reconsidered their bond issue and
adopted an amendment, raising the
amount to $4,000. In the meantime
the Negroes of the county had taken
the matter in hand, and, under the
leadership of Prof w. j. Hale, one of
the leaders of the county, they raised
a sum approximating $11,500 to aid
in securing the school.
The next move on the part of the
Nashville citizens was to have their
council pass an ordinance granting
the issuance of $4,000 in city bonds
to be applied toward securing the
school, This move was met by an ac-
tion of the city council of Chattanoo
ga, authorizing the issuance of $685.
600 in bonds for the same purpose.
The question of issuing these bonds
came up at a recent meeting Of the city
council. 1t was decided that the
Fonds should be issued subject, how
ever, to vote Of the people An effort
as made to have this question put be-
fore the people at the last city election,
but the election commissioners looked
into the act, decided that no vote by
the people was necessary and refused
to put the bonds on the ballots.
/ In order to secure this normal
scNool the city council will have to
vote this bond issue at the next meet
ing, as tie Nashville council has al
ready voted to allow the people to vote
on this question at the November elec
tion. The word from Nashville is tC
the effect that the bonds will be voted
without dissenting vote.
The Negro normal has already re
ceived the strongest sort of an indorse
ment from business men here. such
men as John A. Patten, T. R. Prestor

the county court on behalf of tht

1t brought tears to the eyes of many

Special to the Globe:N
Chattanooga, Tenn.-The Negro nor
NAL school, which has been the sub
ject of so much discussion and for
which both Chattanooga and Nash
vile have been bidding, will be def
nitely located November 10, and on
the action of the city council the
next meeting, Monday night, October
31st, depends the chance of Chatta-
nooga to secure this addition to the
educational institutions Of Hamilton
County
State Superintendent R. L. Jones
has written the following letter to
County Superintendent J. B. Brown,
explaining the matter and giving the
date for locating the scnool:
Oct. 20, 1910
Superintendent J. B. Brown, Chstta.
nooga, Tenn:
Dear superintendent Brown have
written to the Hon. T. G. Thompson,
Mayor of Chattanooga, stating him
that the board of education would
like to determine the location of the
colored normal school not later than
November TO- and also requesting
that the matter Of the city bond issue
be placed in tangible shape so that
the board of education might know
how to act. Unless the bond issue is
in a definite shape, so that it is
~ositive asset for the colored school,
it cannot be considered.
I have written a similar letter to
the Mayor of Nashville, and l under
sand that the city of Nashville votes
on the bond issue at the November
election.
I have written thus to Mayor
Thompson, so that Chattanooga may
have an opportunity to present its
bonds in a form that the board may
act with definite knowledge.
Sincerely yours,
r. L. JONES'

money offered for the school and $685.
600 is necessary to give Chattanooga
the school The council voted to is
sue these bonds, subject to the vote of
the people Dut the election commits
sioners state that there is no election
necessary and that it is up to the
council to vote the bonds. The last
chance to pass this measure is at the
meeting next Monday night, as that
will be thel asst meeting before the
school is located The friends of the
school will make a strong fight to
get the issue passed by both boards
Monday night.
The choice for location lies en-
tirely between Nashville and Chatta-
nooga borh of these counties having
authorized the issuance of bonds for
the school, In both counties the col
ored citizens have taken an interest
to the extent of raising money among
themselves to aid in securing the
school The city of Nashville so far
is leading Chattanooga by ordering
the bond proposition to go before the
people November s.
The act that created the normal
schools also authorized any county OF
city that desired to secure one of these
schools to issue bonds for the pur
pose, without any further action OF
without any vote by the city. Act
: ing on this understanding the county
court OF Hamilton county passed
resolution authorizing the is
suance of $4,000 in bonds to secure
the school, Following this action by
the county court of Hamilton County
/ the county court of Davidson County
: voted to issue 100000 in bonds to Sc
cure the school.
However, the Davidson county peo
nla failed to reckon with the fact tha
