ON EASTERN TOUR.

ton through the work of his district
and more especially to attend and
preside at the great Educational
Rally and Literary Chautauqua to be
assembled at Asbury Park, N. j., We'd

and 26th, where for the very first
time he will see in one body the loyal
and energetic men of the the entire
First Episcopal District In speaking
of the meeting one Of the leading men
of the District said:
"The Asbury Park meeting will be
among the greatest and most impor-
tant of the quadrennium for the rea-
son that it will be the time and place
where every man will be measured by
his actual accomplishments, rather
than by his many words; it will be
the time and place where the motto
show me" will prevail; it will be the
time and place for all to demonstrate
whether they have caught the spirit OF
prayer, peace and prosperity which
their great chieftain has preached
into the district; it will be the time
and place to show whether you are
a part of the great gospel fire which
has been started and which is to grow
and grow until the attention of the en-
tire world shall become focused upon
it when the forces of African Method
ism shall assemble in Philadelphia
in 1916, in the Centennial Celebra-
tion of the great church of Allen. If
tne signs of the times and the predic-
tions of men fail not, the Asbury Park
Meeting will be the greatest, most
largely attended and most enjoyable
gathering ever held in the District.
No one can offord to be absent, as his
standing in frican Methodism in this
district would be at stake. No one
can afford to fail to respond to the
cry of education, one which has gone
up from every educational center"
The Asbury Park meeting will afford
the first opportunity to see some of
the newly made Presiding Elders in
the district; it will afford the priv
ilege to meet some of the new men"
who in the past few years nave come
into the district; it will enable all to
be a part in the great District Photo
graph" which is to be used in the Gen.

NASHVILLE CHILDREN TO HAVE
COUNTRY STORE AT THE TEN

Another new and novel feature Of
the Colored State Fair will be the
Country Store conducted by our boys
and girls. This is to be their first
united effort to make the fair sue
cess from their point of view and in
terest.
The boys and girls of Nashville
will conduct a country store. It is
theirs and they solicit your help, CO.
operation and patronage for very
good reason. They mean to put up a
children's building. A building that
shall be used exclusively for the dis
play of the products of the hands and
brains of Nashville children. They
mean to create their own funds with
which to do it. Thus the origin Of
the Country Store Idea as a starter.
You can buy most anything you wish
at the Country Store. Nothing will
cost you more than ten cents. There
will be everything in stock that one
usually finds in a store. Purchasers
will get what they buy for ten cents.
1t may be ham, a sack of flour, a
chicken, a bushel of meal, a shoulder,
a peck Of meal or high-grade canned
goods. It matters not what it is the
price is to be ten cents. The boys
and girls expect to do a land Office
business.

over ten miles in length. These hills
which are chiefly known as Paradise

and health to the most Respondent
There is not spot in this country
What surpasses the one selected by
Mayor Howse and the other city ori-
cials for this hospital. The old Ham
Ilton home was noted for its grandeur.
It was for many years the pride of
the people living in that section.
Every convenience known to builders
of that day was added to the house to
make it happy abode for it's occu-
pants, and the part that nature gave
to it remains to this day and will ever
be for the comfort and helpfulness of
the depressed.

REGISTER J. c. NAPIER.

Nashville was favored with a visit
of Hon. J. c. Napier, Register of the
United States Treasury. He spent a
week in the city. It will be remem-
bered that he, together with DR.. G.
w. Hubbard, was appointed Admins
traitor for the late DR.. N. F. Boyd.
Hence, during his stay he was very
busy at work on the affairs of the
deceased, and yet not too much to
mingle with friends and Acquaintance
es and to speak some very encourag-
ing words about the air of progress
and the period of improvement so
noticeable in his home town.
He was to leave this week for
Washington. Much pressure was be-
ing brought to bear for the past few
days that he remain over through
the month Of September. He came
direct to Nashville from the Business

LABOR DAY
IN NASHVILLE
Many Entertainments
Enjoyed.
Great Crowds Flock to Park to Wit
Sports-CooI Breeze Appeals to
Many-Day Pleasantly Spent
Dignity of Labor
Exempified

Practically every individual of toll,
whether male or female, endeavored
to observe in a fitting style Labor
Day. There were scores of enter
tainments, outings. lawnfetes and
the like, given by individuals and or
ganizations to commemorate the day.
No doubt the most largely attended
and by far the biggest drawing card
was the mammoth celebration pulled
off at Greenwood Park. Thousands
Of people from the city hiked away
to this Nashville's most noted park.
Eager were they to escape the heat
Of the city; only too glad to rest
under the shades of the mammoth
oaks that stub the Ehills of this re-
sort.
AS the shades of night fell upon
the city, which had been almost de-
populated through the day, those
who had been seeking pleasure in
the suburbs and in the country began
to return.
Hadley Park, the celebrated city
sort so recently opened for the Ne
groes of Nashville, did not suffer.
The grounds were thronged during
The afternoon and evening with
happy children and their parents,
who were showing their apprecia-
tion of the forethought of the city
fathers by taking advantage of the
fresh air and the outing offered at
Hadley Park. While there was no
set amusements the day was enjoyed
at this place. In the afternoon and
evening church entertainments, So
cials, card parties and lawn fetes
took the place of the affairs that had
been in full sway during the day.
It has been agreed that this past
Labor Day was one of the most en-.
joyable ever spent in the city, not.
withstanding it was conspicuous by
the absence of organized labor pa
rades that used to be the order of
things in Nashville; but this can
not be argued to mean that the La
Dor Organizations are not much in
evidence among the Negroes. Com
mendable indeed was the record
made by Nashville Negroes, in the
way in which they took advantage OF
the occasion. While many were
compelled to work the entire day
they did not fail to go in the eve
ming to the place of their choice.

Began Life a Slave.

Mr.. Church came to Memphis years
ago. Thrift and industry I'M
commonly marked, coupled with a
keen insight and keen business abil-
ity, made him quickly recognized as a
man of uncommon business ability.
His word was as good as his bnd.
He was true to his race, yet he never
counseled them into the foolishness
and folly of politics.
He came to Memphis from Holly
Springs, Miss. For a while he worked
around the livery stables here and la
ter he went into the saloon business.
Here he got his start. His savings
were gradually invested in real estate.
One purchase followed another. He
saw with a-prophetic eye a great city,
and he knew that some day his prop
erty would be valuable. He rarely if
ever sold. Conservative estimates are
that he left between 200 and 300
houses in various parts of Memphis.
The bulk of them are in the Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth wards.

Morgan denied it would be
feasible for corporation securities
to be sold in open competition,
like federal and municipal bonds,
to get a higher price. He ad-
mitted he approved the entire

corporation when it was organlz-

No." Morgan replied, 81 like
a little of it, but favor co-opera-

believe there is any way by which
any one man can gain control of
the nations money. You call this
a money trust. A man may own
all the money in Christendom but
he cannot control it."
But persisted Untermyer,
"if a competitor of the steel COM
pany wanted to start and you
owned all the banks in New York
wouldn't you want to protect the
steel company, would he get the
money needed?"
"He would"
"But you have vast power

No." broke in Morgan. "I
haven't vast power. If / have,
don't abuse it,
Haven't you seen instances OF

ed Morgan. 81 am talking of
