our people in Nashville. 1t is a
beauty, and when you drink from it,
you will say delightful" Have you
seen the hand bills? Don't fail to
read the program; and if you like
it, tell others about it.
Come and Sc Fisk, in debt, UP to
her, ask no questions, but buy tickets
for the great entertainment.
How many tickets, please?
See Fisk, and its great entertain
ment advertised in all of the daily
papers, on the cars, in the cars, and
on everybody's lips Let everybody
say Fisk, to every body.
Will all the ministers make an
nouncements all day Sunday? Go
themselves and carry all of their
congregations to help Fisk, June
3rd. Our public school teachers
are at work like beavers, and they
will surely bring their schools.
Don't stop at buying one ticket,
hut keep them on the go; they are
SO cheap that you can afford to hand
them around to your friends for
souvenirs.
There are about forty thousand col
ored people in the city, and every
one of them will be asked to buy a
ticket to help Fisk June 3rd. Forty
thousand ten cent pieces would help
out much. Don't you miss this oppor-
tunity; buy a ticket, if you do not go.
1t is a great undertaking, but so
many are helping; it is but little for
each of us. Are you one of us?
The students who are enjoying the
opportunities afforded them by Fisk
are also alive to the needs of the in
istitution.
(The following is the letter used
by the students of Fisk, the "Stu-
dent Rally to raise at least $4,000
by Commencement Day.")
My Dear Friend:
You will see by the inclosed cir
cular that Fisk is I'M the midst of a
great campaign to save and conserve
our great institution.
The members of our Trustee Board
and Faculty, who have been trying
to raise money among white people
in the North and here in Nashville
have met the questions What will
the Colored people do for Fisk Uni
versity? How much do they believe
in higher education for Negroes?
The Colored people of Nashville have
organized a campaign to raise Ten
Thousand Dollars ($1OO00) to show
them what they think about higher
education and what they will do for
its maintenance.

At a meeting of a majority of the
members of the faculty of the Me-
harry Medical, Dental and Pharma-
ceutical Colleges, held at the Office
Of Dean Hubbard on Monday, over
S7S5 was subscribed as an entering
wedge on raising the ten thousand
dollars as the schools part of the
twenty thousand to be raised for the
completion of the remaining two
wings Of the Hubbard Hospital. 1t
is the plan of the faculty to raise
among themselves the first one thou
sand dollars 1t was said that had
not ten members of the faculty been
absent, over one thousand dollars
would have been subscribed, as they
came within $215 Of subscribing this
first one thousand. The meeting was
the most enthusiastic ever held in
the city to foster educational work,
made so on account of Mr.. Carnegie's
generous offer to give ten thousand
dollars. Dr. Hubbard has just re-
turned to the city from an extended
trip through West Tennessee and Ar
kansas, and while away he made 1t
known that the plans of the alumni
this year would include the erecting
of these two wings. While in Mem
phis he met over fifteen Meharry

The National Negro Business
League will hold it's Twelfth Annual
Meeting at Little Rock, Arkansas,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,
August 18th, 18th and 1Sta, 1911.
Governor George w. Donaghey, of
Arkansas, is manifesting great inter
est in this coming meeting, and has
assured the Local League of his en-
tire willingness to do everything pos
sible toward making the meeting
suco SIS. Governor DonGghey, the
Little Rock Chamber of Comerce, and
the leading white citizens of Little
Rock joined with the local League
in inviting the National organization
to that city Thu citizens have NJ
ready begun making preparations for
this meeting.
The annual meeting of the National
Negro Business League are yearly
increasing in value and nelpfulness to
the race. They bring progressive col
orcd men and women together from
all sections of the country and Gfford
chlnce for them to become acquaint-
ed and exchange ideas with each 9th
er. Moreover the deliberations Of
the members of other races are af-
fonded to learn of what the Negro is
doing for himself, are neipful in the
doing for himself, are helpful in the
highest degree. Lastly, the annual
vacation which every person takes
ci.n be made both inexpensive, de-
lightful anu profitable by attendance
at these meetings.
Hon. ]. E. Bush, member of the
Executive Committee of the National
organization is the leading spirit in
all of the activities now being maze
for the coming meeting, and especial
ly anxious to have the members of
the League present in Large numbers.
He says: 1T is no further from New
York to Little Rock than it lis from
Little Rock to Now York, and Arkan'
sas has always been representa- in
every meeting Of the National organi-
ZatiOn." Mr. Bush assures the North
ern members that the progress which
the colored people of Arkansas have
made will fully warrant their coming
South in large numbers.
The r2ilroeGs have already con-
sented to make an attractive rate
for this meeting, and delegates are
especially urged to give attention to
the matter of arranging for Pullman
or tourist car parties. Further in
formation will be furnished regarding
this feature within the next week or

If the division of the Peabody
Fund is made according to the plan
that was announced several weeks
ago, and if a proportionate share ac-
cording to the Negros population is
made to the deserving youth, more
than one hundred thousand dollars
will be set aside for the Normal,
Agricultural and Mechanical College
that is located out on Centennial
Avenue 1t has been found, after
some investigation, that the money
for the Peabody Normal School, such
as has been used from time to time
for that school, wMere only whites
attend, should have been divided in
proportion to the population wher-
ever the schools were separate, be-
tween the Negroes and whites, butt
since there was no distinctly Negro
school until recently, it is supposed
that this accounts for the failure to
divide the fund. A despatch recently
appeared in the Memphis Scimitar
to the effect that ar agreement had
been reached and that when divi-
sion of the fund, which was be
queathed to the deserving youth OF
the SOUTH" is made so that the
proposed Peabody Normal might not
account any breakers in the future,
something over one hundred thou
sand dollars would be given to the
Negroes.
The discussion of this Peabody
fund continually through the papers
has brought to light the notable
Slater fund, which is another evil
dence of the philanthropic spirit
shown by true Americans, who look
to the future of the youth of the
Sunny South, 1t could not be learned
this week whether the three men Of
the faculty of the school were giving
any attention to these resorted ru-
mors concerning the division of the
fund, but it was supposed that the
Superintendent of the State Board
of Education, or the Board itself,
would look we'll into the securing OF
whatever monies that belonged to
this school, all of which could be
used to a great advantage in the COM
ing educational effort. With the al
ready one hundred and fifty thousand
added to the one hundNed thossaNd
or more that would come from the
Peabody fund and the few thousand
of dollars that is due from the
Morrill, fund, the Agricultural, Nor
NAL and Mechanical School for Ne
groes viii have over three hundred
thousand dollars to begin its career
and to take its place among the edu-
rational institutions of Tennessee.
This is a sufficient amount to put
the young institution at the head of
it's class in so far as equipment of
buildings is concerned. No school
in Tennessee will have more back
ing and there are but few agricultu-
raj institutions in the South that
have more land already in their pos
session, and none with better To-
cation than the site already select
ed on Centennial avenue. The ad-
ministration building is by actual
measurement on an elevation with
in ten feet of that occupied by the
State Capitol. When the buildings
are erected, they will, like the
Capitol of Tennessee, be the only
buildings to be seen from every point

side. The Lounger attracted consider
able attention in the yachting world when
her plans were first published, in that she
was to be built for outside cruising, and
that the owner declared he intended TO
spend no less than thirty years aboard.
He is now seventy-one years old. An
other interesting feature in connection
with the craft was that the original plans
called for a pit amidships. large enough
to accommodate horsepower auto
mobile which was to be carried about
from port to ~Ort. 1t was found, how
ever that the pit would be a failure be-
cause of the fact that it would not drain
very fast. and so. of course, collected too
much water for safety The idea was
therefore abandoned, and much more

have been possible. The 1.ounger is
