is held by the local club women.
The speaker was introduced by Mrs.
A. 0. Kenney, who gave the audi
ence a glimpse of what was to fol-
low. Mrs. Jackson read a short paper
on club work in Nashville. Miss
Carter arose gracefully, and in a
modest, quiet, but forceful manner
poured into the hearts of her hearers
her knowledge Of club life among
the Negro women of America. The
speaker reviewed the work of the vari-
Gus women's clubs from their organi-
zation down to the present, and the
work being done by the Negro women
is truly worthy of unstinted commen-
dation. Miss Carter made it clear
that it was a false statement made by
a white man from the state of Mis-
souri, that caused the women Of New
England to organize the first club,
and that the large number of de-
pendent Negroes in the East and the
continual influx of raw recruits from
the south made 1t necessary that the
women's clubs be maintained.
Coming to Nashville the speaker
said she found much to interest her,
but was alarmed to find no rescue
home nor reformatory for youthful
offenders. She urged the women of
this city and of the state to get down
to actual work and do something
tangible. She especially urged the
women to be united and work unself-
ishly for the uplift of the people
Miss Carter left Friday morning for
Memphis, where she is to speak Fri
day night.
Miss Elizabeth c. Carter, one of the
leading colored women of today as
club woman, has a reputation as such
from the Pacific to the Atlantic. AS

DR.. J. A. Jones, president of Tur.
ner Normal College, at Shelbyville,
takes the Globe reporter to task for
statements in last weeks issue con
cerning that school. He says in full:
Mr. Editor:
In justice to the cause which we
represent as the official head of Tur-
ner Normal College, you will please
do me the kindness of replying to
the article appearing in your paper,
last week, under the caption, Nearly
$4,000, Turner Normal"
Your reporter was doubtless mis-
lead, in that he made statements
which were altogether erroneous. l
would not ask for the privilege of a
reply but for the reason that the ar
ticle in question is damaging.
| hereby invite a refutatioD of what
l will say. First, your reporter
states that the matter as to the To-
cation of Turner Normal was left in
a tentative state" That statement is
false The matter of location was
definitely settled. Secondly, your re-
porter says that '"it seems that a ma.
iority of the ministers favor a
change" of location. That is certain
ly untrue; for if it was so, there is
nothing on earth-no law among the
sons of men that could prevent them
from doing so.
He further says that "it was evil
dent from the expressions of the sew
eral speakers on last Tuesday that
the question of location is not yet
settled by any means" That may be
the conclusion reached, by the biased
mind of your reporter, but the truth
is, there is absolutely no sentiment
among the people who own Turner
Normal College, to change it's loca-
ton. ! admit that there are some
of the best men in the church, who
have all along preferred that diff
ferent place might have been select
ed for the school. But every one
to man who holds this opinion, is
some one who has come to Ten
nessee twenty years after the work
lrad been established, or, being resi-
dents OF Tennessee, had nothing to
do with the present location of the
school.
They cannot possibly have the same
kind of feeling for the institution as
those of us who have made the
school at its present location, a part
of our lifes work.
am willing at any time, to test
the majority vote as to whether or
not the people want to tear up our
well-begun work at Shelbyville, and
attempt to start afresh anywhere else
in the state
Your reporter truthfully said that
the Building Committee is charged
with the duty of investigating "wheth-
er or not the Trustees have the power
to erect building at Shelbyville un-
der the present charter" But that
was conceded as compromise prop
osition, in order to save time, and
give the opposition no further excuse
for delaying the work of real prog
ress.
BY this movement, we have made
ourselves ridiculous in the eyes OF
the world. Fer who does not know
that the trustees of an institution
have the authority to improve the
property, intrusted to their care.
One brother did go so far as to
offer a resolution to carry the matter
back to the annual conferences, and
get their consent before we proceed
to build. This was done in the face
of the fact that the annual confer
ences had each assessed themselves

for four years. consecutively, with
the view of raising money to put the
building up, and were really complain
ing that the work had been so long
delayed.
Now, it would be interesting to us all
to know who that "one trustee" was,
who was heard to advance the idea
OF giving the people a chance to
vote on location" Great scheme,
that would be, to ask the people
whether or not they are bothered.
when they have shown no signs of
disturbance or dissatisfaction.
Your reporter states, further that
several cities and towns have been
bidding for this school for years" If
you will publish the name of one
town or city that has made IBID
for this school in thousand years,
| will agree to take the libel, Shelby
vile, excepted. There you are.
The people are perfectly satisfied,
and challenge any statement to the
contrary.
Of course, / understand that you
know what IBID" is. You named
Memphis, Clarksville and Nashville
But that was newspaper talk. Name
the bids" of these cities which have
so much desired this all-important
institution.
You also, mention what the men
from the western part of the state say
with reference to the large local sup
port the school would get if it were
located in Memphis. That is true,
and what they say, is true | believe
that if such school was located in
Memphis that city would fill it up in
"jiffy," But is that what we want?
Do the African Methodists of Ten.
lessee mean to operate a school for
the special benefit of any certain
community? If so, then | say let us
go to Memphis, and let the rest of
the state take care OF Itself.
Colleges are not established for the
benefit of certain communities, es-
pecially church colleges. Public
schools are located with special ref
erence to benefiting the youth in GER
tain communities. The difference is,
the public schools go to the people;
the people go to the college. | have
no prejudice whatever, against either
Nashville or Memphis. God forbid.
But is the A. M. E. Church in Ten
nessee prepared to attempt to do the
work in those cities which the Boards
of Education ought to do? Grant
that either of these cities would do
the very thing that the Memphis ad-
vocates say they would do-fill up
the school with local patronage, what
is going to become of the rest of the
children of the A. M. E. Church
throughout the state, who are sup
porting the institution?
Now, in conclusion, your reporter
makes the statement that the matter
of changing the location lis in such
an unsettled condition" etc. l do not
know where he got his information
/ want to say the school will never
be moved till the conferences become
filled up with a class OF men who are
nothing for the interest of the church
in the state, who would as soon tear
up as to build up
When the constructionists are dis
placed by the destructionists, and
when self-seekers take the place of
self-sacrificing men, then, and not un-
til then will our work at Shelbyville
be scattered to the wind, and Tennes-
see educational efforts be thing of
the past.
Yours for the Cause of Christian
Education,

President, Turner Normal College.

1t is the intention of the cabinet,

of all these Arabs, as 1t has already
done In the case of the notorious
Ibrahim Pasha and OF the Druses. How
well they have already succeeded in

other recent travellers over this region

remark that this Tigris region Is a

geese, heron, crane, pelican, partridge,
pheasant, and other fowl unknown to
me by name, abound in unlimited
quantities.
To return to the Arabs: The Ger
mans have put large force of them
sometimes as many as 200-to work
on the excavations. The best of them
make as much as 20 cents day. This
is a great advance, for your noble
Arab, like the red Indian whom he in
SO many ways resembles, does not
like work. He will shoot and steal
and talk, but work is for women.
These Arabs who have taken to pick
and shovel and dirt basket are de-
spised by their kinsmen of the desert.
True, they are poor lot, an appalling
percentage of them being afflicted
with syphilis, which they call "the for
eigners' disease" None the less they
are working, and this is news, indeed;
rare sign of the awakening of the
oldest people.

the juantiest manner imaginable. and
talked with hands and eyes and lips
about the need of better transporta-
tion facilities, there was NO doubling

West; but you see how far we are
from everywhere. Now, If airships
were running" I offered to forward
his order to America for an airship,
for immediate delivery. which idea
quite upset him.
He appealed to me directly to place
the case of this fertile country des-
tined again to be the center OF a great
grain-growing region, before American
business men. The need for everything
modern is apparent. The market is
virgin one. The people are predis-
posed to American wares. All about
are opportunities. Coal and oil abound,

As to the latter statement, there is

mere layman. II western Pennsyl-
vania man could see the crude petro-
leum which has exuded from the earth
floating on the surface of the Tigris
he would have a serious attack OF
'oil fever" At one spot, not far from
here, l visited the oil wells, which are
operated, after fashion. They are
not oil wells at all, but oil lakes, from
which both gas and oil flow without
digging. Ten retorts, made of scrap
iron, mud and old Standard OIL tins,
were distilling the crude petroleum at
the rate of one Standard Oil tin per
that the output can be sold only to the
Arabs, Kurds and Druses. All the by
products are, of course, wasted. Yet
here Is seemingly unlimited supply
of oil, as well as of natural gas, coal
and asphalt.
A Hint From the Ancients.
The mention of asphalt suggests a
particular which shows how clearly
civilization has retrograded in these
parts. OF the numerous sources of
bitumen and asphalt in this region,
Turkey and the Arabs have made no
use. Yet myself have seen 1t used in
the buildings and pavements of the
Assyrians of 1000 years ago. We
know that the spade has revealed its
use in the Tower of Babel, and the
Bible records that Noah pitched the
ark. Yet for hundreds Of years the
same sources of supply have been al
lowed to go to waste.
At Shergat, short distance down
the river, the Germans have for seven
years been conducting excavations on
the site of Asshur, the Oldest of AS
syrias capitals. They find that pitch
was commonly used, and asphalt.
These excavations, by the way. are ex-
traordinary, both in what they have
found and in the thoroughness with
which they are being carried on.
Six Germans are in charge of the
work, which is maintained by the mu-
seums and the German government
at cost of $4,000 year. The entire
city, including palaces and temples
and Notifications, is being laid bare.
Some of the buildings uncovered date
back thirty-five hundred years before
Christ. Others are as recent as the
year 200 A. D. One section, which the
excavators call their Pompeii, shows
the life Of the community most inter
estingly. The streets, the shops and
the residences have been laid bare,
after being buried from 5000 to 1000

years. One curious discovery Is the
ancient mode of burial. The dead
were encased in clay or store sarcoph-
agi. In the case of the wealthy, and in
earthern Jars, in the case OF the poor,
and buried few feet under the floor
of the living rooms of the dwelling
houses. In some cases, elaborate
mausoleums have been unearthed q
few inches below the floors.
German devotion to science is car
rying on this great work, but the In
explicable policy OF Turkey, which re-
Gently. for example. permitted price

to be broken up for lime, will not al
low any of the results of the exca-
vators' work to be taken to Berlin.
Every brick Of value, every inscrip-
ton, every statue, cylinder or other
"find" must be boxed up for shipment
to Constantinople. The Germans must
pay the salary of an army officer, or
commissioner, who stands guard over
their work to see that nothing is made
of with surreptitiously. The Germans,
OF course, make copies of all the in
scriptions and drawings and photo
graphs of all the plans, in none of
which are the Turks apparently at all
interested.
Making the Arab Work.
An unexpected light upon the
changes that are taking place in the
immemorial East was revealed at
Shergat. The inscriptions show that
5000 years ago the Arabs from the
adjoining desert were accustomed to
raid the settled communities, even as
they have been doing ever since. This
is the headquarters of the fierce and
famous Shammar Arabs. and the day
