er one man in the world. When he
came to the Sunday-School Union in
1891 he found DR.. Smith surrounded
by set of men who were there mere
ly for the loaves and fishes, and who
took no thought of the great struggle
that Negroes would have to make to
establish publishing houses. Mr..
Burrill, when he took charge of
things, at once set about to give to
his employer honest service. He be-
ieved in doing the very best for the
man he worked for that he could
possibly do. He would not allow the
men working under him to over
charge for their labor, and so under
his administration the A. NJ. e. Sun
day-School Union was put on a solid
footing. While he was there the his
tory of the African Methodist Church
was published under his supervision.
He read every line of the proof, and
directed the mechanical construction
of the book The work was done by
Foster and Webb, white printers. and
any of the people of that firm will
gladly admit that his proof-reading
was the best that they had ever seen.
The History of the A. M. E. Church
VIII take first rank among the books
Of the country.
In 1898 Mr.. Burril came to the Ma
tonal Baptist Publishing House at
the earnest solicitation of a young
man who had served his apprentice
ship under him in the person of Mr..
ID. A. Hart. Mr.. Harts friends asked
him why he was so anxious to have
Mr.. Burrill come to the Publishing
House and take the position that he
himself might have gotten had he not
urged the management to employ Mr..
Burrill. Mr.. Hart's answer was that
the National Baptist Publishing
House was in need of man who had
had many years of experience in the
printing business, and who was a
thorough printer. The young man
realized the great possibilities
of the Baptist Publishing House, and
saw the need of a man competent to
launch the concern in the proper
manner SO Mr. Burrill was en-.
ployed. His work at the National
Baptist Publishing House stands for
itself. The young man who worked
with and under Mr.. Burrill during the
eleven years he was here can testi-
fly as to his worth and ability. They
can lie found in all parts of the coun-
try who. during the period he was
in Nashville, came to the Publishing
House, and were benefited by coming
in contact with this man of superior
ability in the printing art, He was
truly the father of printing among
Negroes in the South, and the fact
that the Negro publishing houses in
Nashville are doing better work than
any elsewhere. testifies to the faith

MIR. CFIAS. II. BURRIII,
Vice-PreSident of the Nashville Globe
Publishing Company Passes away
at His Home in Brooklyn N. Y.

Mr.. Chas. H. Burrill, yice-president
of the Nashville Globe Publishing
. Company, and for many years prom
inent character in the printing houses
of the Negroes of Nashville, died at
his home in Brooklyn, N. Y, Wednes-
day morning, July 18th, at 7:45. The
funeral service was conducted Friday
evening, July 18th.
Mr.. Burrill first came to Nashville
in 1886 to take charge of a printing
department of the A. M. E. Church
Sunday-School Union, then under the
management of Dr. G. S. Smith. He
did not remain very long that time,
being stranger in this vicinity and
far from home, and soon re-
turned to the bedside of an invalid
wife. In 1891 he was induced to re-
turn to the Sunday School Union to
resume his duty as superintendent of
of their printing department He re-
manned there from 1891 to 1895, when
he left again for his home in Phila-
delphia. In 1898, when the National
Baptist Publishing House was Just be-
g inning to blossom into reality, Mr.
Burrill was again persuaded to leave
the comforts of his home and come
to Nashville to take charge of the
printing department of the Baptist
Publishing House, where he re-
NAMED until the spring of 1909 when
his health broke down and he was
compelled to return to his home.
While in Nashville, Mr. Burrill made
host of friends and acquaintances
who honored and respected him,
Chas. H. Burrill was a thorough
printer, having served his apprentice
ship in. one of the best printing of
fees in Providence, r. l., and for
years worked in one of the largest
and best printing offices in the East.
He had a special adaptation to proof
reading, and made quite a reputation
wherever he worked for his accura-
cy and his ability to Judge good
printing from bad. He was educated in
the old school of printing when the
devil boy in the office had to learn
how to do everything that was to be
done in a printing office. So Mr.. Bur
rill could sit down to desk and pre-
pare his copy, go to the case and set
up job in real artistic fashion, lock
up the form, carry it to the press
room, and whether it was on a job
or cylinder press print the job in first
class stlye; then carry it to the bind
cry and finish it in first-class work
manlike manner. And he knew when
it was right. 1t was not a matter of
guess work with him. He knew
printing in the truest sense of the
word.
The success of the Negro publish
ing houses in Nashville is due more
largely to the painstalSing ability of
Mr.. Chas. H. Burrill than to any 9TH

The Thirteenth Annual Grand
Lodge Knights of Pythias convened
in the spacious auditorium which was
profusely decorated with flags and
bunting for the occasion by the local
lodges of Chattanooga. Never before
in the history of the grand lodge has
the membership witnessed such artis-
tic and becoming colors as were
blended in the decorations of the
building.
Dr.. j. P. Crawford, Grand Chancel-
lor raped for order promptly at 10
o'clock. All officers were present.
While awaiting the report of the
Committee on Credentials addresses
were made by Rev. j. A. Jones, Of

others.

Mayor Thompson said in part:
when my brief period of office is
over, | only crave one enconium, and
that is that | was the mayor of all
the people. I know what "C' stands
for in your motto Let me ask you
to let it stand for something else.
Charity does not only mean giving
to and helping somebody who belongs
to the same order, but broadly speak
ing it means helping all with whom
you come in contact. G should stand
for something higher: it should stand
for Christian citizenship.
"The good Lord has seen fit to put
two nations here in the south to live
together Whatever helps us, helps
you; whatever hurts you, hurts us.
Show me the man who is a good hus-
band, a good father, good profess
sional man, good business man and
in the same degree I will show you
a good citizen who is doing his duty
by his countryland state have hor
ror of the man Mho does not go into po-
litics because it is dirty. Politics are
dirty, perhaps, because good men do
not take part. | would not ask any
man to vote with me unless / was
right on the question. You should
urge your people to go to the polls
and vote on all questions without
anything but moral suasion."
In responding to the mayors ad-
dress, B. F. Booth, grand attorney
for the order in Tennessee, held up
the principles and aims as practiced
by the colored grand lodge and de-
clared that they existed solely to do
good for their people and make bet
ter citizens. He said in part:
There is nothing wrong in our as
sociation here We are trying to do
what we have been told to do many
times-imitate that which is good in
the white man."
Other responses were made as fol
lows: on behalf of the Calanthes,

The Fifty-seventh General Assem-
bly, of the State of Tennessee is a
matter of history. The record made
by this body will live lond in the
minds of the people of this state, and
the country as well. More nonsense
and humbuggery was INDUCED in ON
Capital Hill this year than has ever
been witnessed there before, and if
the people of Tennessee were asked
to express a hope, they would say
that they hoped never to witness
such disgusting scene again. All
sides and factions were playing the
game of politics to the extreme. The
Republicans We're fighting to get
foot hold in the politics of the state,
the Independents were fighting to get
control of the Democratic party, the
Regulars were struggling to regain
what had been lost, and so for six
months, the fight has gone on inces-
sanity, and it is great relief to
Tennessee to know that the strife has
come to an end, that for time at
least, the peoplecan go about their
business in peace.
The Negroes of Tennessee have
watched the proceedings of this as
sembly as they have never done be-
fore. This was due no doubt to the
conditions that prevailed during the
las two campaigns IN the state.
Since the Negroes of Tennessee have
assumed the attitude OF Independents
there has not been that oneness of
action in voting. As near as can be
learned the vote of the black man in
the Old Volunteer State is evenly di-
vded In the August election of
1910, and in the November election
it was a toss up between the Regular
Democrats and the Fusionist element
as to who had the largest Negro vote.
That being the case, the Negroes
have watched the acts of the man
they helpeG elect and who represents
the people in the General Assembly.
Many matters have been up for
consideration, but the principle one
that all the Negroes of the state CEN
tered on, and upon which they all
they all agreed, was the Negro State
Normal. The state of Tennessee is
for the educational and industrial
training Of the Negro youth of the
state. They are many years behind
most of the Southern states, and
there has been shown a disposition
on the part of many to do the very
best that can be done in regard to the
preparation of the Negro Normal
school In view Of the fact that Ten
nessee was so late in starting in the
latter days of the Assembly, that is,
before the elopement, a bill was in
troduced to make a small appropria-
tion to purchase additional land for
the Normal School farm In the con-
fusion the bill was lost sight of at
that time After the re-assembling
of the General Assembly this bill was
revised, and also a new bill was in
troduced to give the Negro Normal
that portion of the Morrell Fund
that belongs to them.
The Sentte voted almost unani-
fer the bill, the voting being
as follows:
AYES.
