ville's chance to get the central plant,
which will be the most important.
Another matter that took tangible
shape was the selection of Alabamas
choice in the person Of Dr. Allen, the
venerable editor of the Southern
Christian, who will be supported for
bishop. This move on the part of
the Alabama delegates opens the way
for DR.. j. A. Jones, of Tennessee, for
editor to succeed DR.. Allen. Dr.
Jones is at prestnt president of Tur-
ner Normal College at Shelbyville. He
is a native son of Nashville and his
friends are pulling for him. Dr..
Jones is a forceful write and would,
it is believed, make great success
as editor of one of the papers in his
church. If elected he would in all
probability move the headquarters to
Nashville.

AFRICAN METHODISTS TO HAVE
BIG PUBLISHING PLANT IN
NASHVILLE.

Mr.. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of the
A. NJ. E. Church Sunday-School Pub
fishing house has just returned from
Alabama where he has been attend
ing the Annual Conferences. Mr..
Bryant is the champion of scheme
to consolidate the printing of the
A. M. E. Church the same as is done
by the white Methodists, with branch
houses in the east and west. He
presented his plan to the Alabama
Conferences, four in number, and
from all indications the proposition
was we'll received. What was true
in the Alabama Conferences seems to
be the general opinion. The lead
ing men throughout the connection
are favorable toward any plan that
will facilitate the affairs of the
church, and Mr.. Bryant, in his clear
cut and plain spoken manner con-
vinces the most pessimistic that his
plan is no pipe dream.
If the plan goes, and every indi-
cation points in that direction, Nash
vile will be big gamer. The print
ing of the African Methodist Church
would swell that feature of Nash
Vile industries to much greater pro-
portions and would give employment
to many more young Negro men and
women. At present the printing of

fined in Jail at the county's eX-
pense, will have to pay for their
keep by working ON the public
roads.
This order was issued by the
County Court today and applies to
all convicted bootleggers. AS soon
as the local option law was
adopted here a large crop of illicit
liquor dealers sprang up.
1t seems that the bootleggers do
not mind a stay in Jail, so long as
they are well fed and do not have
to work, hut the court believes
that the new order will have i'm
