On Wednesday of next week Fisk
University, the pride of the Negroes
of Nashville and the South will throw
open her doors to begin another years
work. The attendants have been
busily engaged for several days get
ting everything in shape for the open
ing, and when the students return this
year they will find many improve
ments that have been made during va
cation. All of this will add to their
comfort and convenience On the
grounds walks have been put down the
entire length of the campus of Eight
eenth avenue, on both sides of Hard
ing and Jackson streets to Eighteenth
and Seventeenth avenues, on Hamil-
ton street on the Fisk side This side
greatly to the beauty of the Universe
ty campus, and affords lovely prom
enade for the student body as we'll as
the citizens in the community. In the
evenings an army of little tots will
be see nstrutting up and down these
beautiful sidewalks, and that it at
once suggests itself to testify that
these will make up a large portion of
the future student body of Fisk Uni
versity. The citizens in the commu-
nifty have joined in the improvements,
such as identifying their homes as
fast as their meager means will per-
NIT. This is one of the strongest ev-
licences Of the appreciation of the
people. When a Globe representative
called to inquire of the outlook for
this year, he was in formed that the
number of students would be up to
the record, that the girls dormitory
was overrun already, and that large
number of boys had applied for admis-
sion. He was informed that the out
look was very bright for a good years
work. The campus had been put in
first-class order, and by the end of
next week, an army of young people
from every part of the country will be
/ seen basking in the autumn breeze
around Jubilee and Livingston Hail.

CoLoRED NURSES STATE THEIR
SIDE OF THE CASE.

In defense of themselves the color
ed nurses have given out the follow
ing.
That statement made that Negro
nurses were debarred the rights of
registration because the schools from
which they graduated did not come
up to the requirements is not true.
They were told repeatedly by the
President of the Board of Registra-
ton that it was because they were
Negroes. One Negro nurse, who is
a graduate of a Massachusetts Train
ing School, with a general training
of three years, was told she was bar
red because she was Negro.
When the Negro nurses applied for
blanks for registration they were sup
piled by the Secretary of the Board
and on these blanks age, sex, color,
the number of years training and
names of schools, as well as other
questions were asked These blanks
were filed out and returned with the
registration fee of five dollars.
The Secretary sent cards to the
tration, requesting them to be pres
sent at the meeting of the Board
held September 18th, 10Th and goth.
Most of the colored nurses met at
the appointed time and were told col
lectively by the President of the
Board that they would be barred be-
cause they were Negroes.
The nurse from Massachusetts was
told that nurses coming from schools
out of this state would first have
to have an "R. N" from the state
in which she graduated before having
it here Though it is plainly stated
in the bill that nurses coming from
schools out of the state measuring up
to the standard and wishing to prac-
tise the profession of nursing in this
state would be allowed the rights oil
registration
Not only did the bill offer regis
tration for trained nurses, but to ex
perienced nurses of five years stand
in who could furnish suitable recon
mendations
The Negro womanhood of Tennes
see stands shocked today at the treat
ment these young women have re
ceived 1t is had to make them be
lieve that such thing would be done
/, in the South The group of youn|
women represented some of the bes
, medical colleges in the country
, among them being Meharry, of thi

ington, D. c., and which is under tn
control of the Federal Government

colored nurses and they are recognii

With every hour the political cam
paign of this city is growing hotter.
The Law Enforcement crowd held a
meeting Tuesday night, at which all
candidates who are to contest in the
election were nominated. 1t was
necessary to hunt around and find a
new man to run for the Board OF Pub
lie Works, as the man nominated
when the Law Enforcement people
selected their candidate for Mayor
felt that he could not afford to be Of
fered up as a sacrificial lamb, conse-
quently he informed them that he
could not serve. The bush is being
beaten in every part of the CITY, Eff
forts are being put forth to corral the
Negro votes. They are going around
with the white flag crying peace
and as is always the case, some OF our
weak kneed Negro men are following
their plea. They were in such a
hard state that it was necessary to
Import Brother Bob Clay, with the
bullying brow, of Bristol, to come
down and hide himself behind the
civic and righteous screen, and en-
deavor to beguile the Negroes of
Nashville, but his efforts have proved
nothing. Bob Clay has learned to
speak just like Booker Washington,
and has committed to memory several
of his most striking expressions that
he gets off in fine style. He swears
by all the gods of East Tennessee
that his mission has nothing to do
with politics, and so anxious is he
that this is known, that he takes pains
to tell the reporter to always put 1t In
the paper that he does not touch upon
local commission, and he clinches his
fist and grits his teeth when any one
tells him that it appears that his mis-
sion here is to help out the Law En-,
forcement folks. At a recent meet
ing, several of the white followers OF
the Law Enforcement crowd were
present, and they would not allow
Bobbie to say anything about local
commission, but hey took spe
cial pains to say it for him. The
Regular Democrats were saving
wood and saying nothing. With the
advent of the new paper, The Demo
crat, the people will have an opportu
nifty to learn the true conditions o.
affairs in Nashville They will heal
both sides of this question, which i:
nothing but just and right to any PEG
pie, and on October 18th the will O
the people viii be impressed, and the
Law Enforcement folks will be sen
quietly back to their homes to attenC
to their own business.

FAT AND LEANS

Special to The journal.

Bonifay, Fla, July 6.-The largest
crowd ever in Bombay was here yes
terday to attend the singing and to
witness the Fat and Lean ball game.
The singing was held in the court
house under the supervision of the
president, ]. F. Osborn, and was much
enjoyed by all. The ball game was
set for p. m. but about 2 O'Clock 3
heavy rain began falling and lasted
until after 81 o'clock, which prevented
the game which everybody wanted to
see but the game will be held in the
near future. The crowd, while large,
was good humored and Marshal Adams
had no trouble in keeping peace The
crowd not only came from the sur
rounding country in buggies and
wagons, but the train from the west in
the morning brought crowds from De-
Funiak, Ponce de Leon, WestvilIe and
Caryville.

Monday until Tuesday and are in ses-

WILL DECIDE
BASEBALL CASE
BY SATURDAY
ATTORNEYS FOR BOTH SIDES OF
MANDAMUS SUIT ARE SAID TO
BE CONFIDENT THAT JUDGE
BEGGs WILL DECIDE IN THEIR
FAVOR.

It is expected that decision will be
rendered Saturday in the mandamus
proceedings, argued before Judge E.
D. Beggs last Monday, in which 1t is
sought to compel Justice Of Peace
Nicholson to issue a warrant against
John G. Oliver, manager Of the Pen
sacola baseball team, because Of the
baseball games which have been
played at the baseball park on Sun
days. 1t is said that the attorneys
for both sides of the controversy are
confident of a verdict in their favor.
OF course, no matter which way
Judge Beggs decides the matter, 1t Is
anticipated that the case will be ap-
Pealed and that the controversy will
end in the supreme court, which court
will ultimately have to pass on the
constitutionality Of the act of the leg
islature under which the ordinance au-
thorizing Sunday baseball was adpoted
by the city council.
The proceedings were instituted
when Rev. B. Bitch applied to Justice
of the Peace Nicholson for a warrant
for the arrest of Oliver, and the justice
of the peace refused to issue the war
rant, claiming that no law had been
violated.
Both the petitioners for the man
damus writ and the defendants are
represented by able attorneys and the
case is attracting interest, not only
locally, but throughout the state.
