clared that a more alluring PROPOSE
ton has never been offered for their

THE MISSISSIPPI BENEFICIAL
INSURANCE COMPANY MEETS
IN ANNUAL SESSION.

On January q, 1910, and at an
hour different to that of the meeting

collected from all sources by the
company $11,67749, their legitimate

Brooks is known and his reputation
was number one. He said the store,
if conducted on cash basis, would
be bound to succeed. He cited a case
where Jew talked to a man until he
made him believe that a suit of clothes
fitted him and made a sale, but that
the man learned that the reason he was
Tot pleased with the clothes they did
not fit him after they got wet, was be.
cause there was no one to talk it. He
admonished his hearers to talk up the
store and make it succeed.
Mr.. A. N Johnson was the next
speaker He said that he would say
a few words along business lines. The
Negro, he said, will stick to you il
you will deliver the goods. The peo.
pie are not going to patronize you be-
cause you are Negro. They are not
going to buy your stuff if there are
green flies on it. They are not going
to buy unless you can give as much
as they can get anywhere else.
DR.. H. T. Johnson was the next

said unless confidence could be estab
lished there could be no hope of sue
cess. He made a strong plea for a
united effort in behalf of the new en-
terprise.
At the conclusion of the speaking
the chairman solicited subscriptions
from all present, and the people
pledged themselves to take stock in
amounts ranging from 81 to So. Every
speaker of the evening closed his re-
marks with a S. subscription, which
made the success of the enterprise look
like a certainty.
Previous to the adjjourning of the eX-
ercises a constant stream of interested
people were going through the store
inspecting the stock which consisted
of full line of the best groceries that
can be found on the market. The spir
it exhibited at the opening of the
poor peoples store was indicative OF
the feeling existing in this city toward
the more unfortunate, who are in need
of help, and vouchsafes the statement
that much suffering will be alleviated
through the committee of management

JUDGE LURToN ON FISK BOARD
OF TRUST.

President George A. Gates, of Fisk
University, has returned from New
York, where he went to attend the
Board of Trustees and to look after
other important matters in connec-
ton with the university.
He gave out the following last night
in regard to the proposed improve
ments for Fisk University, the plans
of which were drawn here and pre-
sented to the board by him for the
boards inspection at the recent meet
ing:
"In addition to the central heating
and light plant to be installed, the
cost of which will be about $4,000, a
new fence, which is very badly need
ed, will be built around the entire
grounds of the university. The plans
were adopted by the BOARD and a
committee appointed to take up the
matter of having the improvements
made as soon as practicable.
Naturally, 1 am highly pleased at
the favorable action taken by the
Board of Trustees on the matter, and
aSlue from Ine cutting down or con-
siderable expense in heating and
lighting the several buildings, the
new acquisition will be much more
satisfactory"
President Gates said that several
new members were elected to the
Board of Trustees of the university at
the meeting just held, among them
being Judge Horace H. Lurton, but
on account of the Supreme Justices
exceedingly busy life, it was feared
he would be unable to accept.
81 stopped over in Washington on
my return to Nashville, where I had
conversation with Justice Lurton in
regard to his acceptance of the trust,
and, while he assured me he was
deeply interested in our work at
Fisk, he stated that unless he found
that he would be able to attend the
meetings and to perform active serv-
ice on the Board of Trustees, he
would not like to accept the trust
urged upon him. The trustees are
hopeful however that he may be
able to serve as one of their num-
ber."

The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1910-02-04

1t was learned this week that on
Feb. Sth nine prominent and highly con-
nected Baptist Ministers, laymen and
professional men will reach Nashville.
Their mission, it is said, will be in
accordance with an order or resolution
which passed the last session of the
National Baptist Convention at Co
lumbus providing for the appointment
of committee of nine to investigate
the holdings of all the property of the
National Baptist Convention in the DOS
session of its boards. An inquiry
among leading Baptists of the city
shows that the National Baptist Con-
yention, unlike most religious bodies,
is made up OF seven different boards
which, during the recess of the con-
yention, regulate and manage it's af-
fairs. Three of these boards are sup
posed to be located in Nashville,
namely: the Publishing Board, the
B. Y B. U. Board and the Educational
Beard. Thus the committee in taking
up its work in the city will look close
ly into the holdings of these boards
and ascertain just what interest the
National Baptist Convention has in
the city of Nashville.
The committee, it is said, will go
from here to Louisville, Ky, where it
will further investigate the Foreign
Mission Board and the Woman's Aux
iliary Board. 1t is then supposed to
proceed to Little Rock Ark, where the
Home Mission Board has its head
quarters; from Little Rock to Helena,
which is looked upon as the headquar-
ters of the National Benefit Board and
the Executive Board. Those compos-
ing the personnel of this committee
are as follows: Rev. E. j. Fisher, D.
D., Of Chicago, Chairman; C. T.
Stamps, D. D., Secretary, Edwards,
Miss; A. Barber, D. D., Galveston,
Tex; c. T. Walker, D. D., Augusta,
Ca; George E. Stephens, st. Louis,
Mo-; j. H. Eason, D. D., Admission,
Ala; M. w. Gilbert, New York. G. B.
Howard, Petersburg, Va, and VIM.
Harrison, Attorney-at-law, Oklahoma,
Okla
! 1t is generally expected that the CON-
mittee will reach Nashville Tuesday
morning, as the order of the onvention
provides that they open session at 10
o'clock Since the National Baptist
Publishing Board has reported larger
holdings, more property and a greater
volume of work, it is conceded that
the committees first efforts and work
will be directed toward the Publishing
Board, which Board, through the splen-
did management of DR.. R. H. Boyd,
who has the distinction also of being
Secretary of the Home Mission Board
with headquarters at Little Rock, is
the pride of the denomination, and
leads all Negro publishing plants in
the world DR.. Boyd, when asked
about the Investigating Committee,
said that it was only in keeping with
the policy of the National Baptist Con-
yention to look into its holdings from
time to time, and that an auditor
comes annually anyway to audit the
accounts of his Board.
