Some conditions that continue in the

are worse than any to be found in

at what they have learned, as steps
are being taken to present the case
before the administration in a strong
protest against the outrageous dis

BY reading the story as told by DR..

He will be in a position to know
first-handed himself and it is believed
that great changes will be made in

Entry Into Politics.

In 1878, when Democrats were
looking in vain for young man to
lead the hosts to victory in the First
District, all eyes turned to Bob Tay-
lor, VINO was then just beginning his
practice at the Jonesboro bar The
district usual! y returned Republican
majority of 5000 votes and Demo-
Gratis of ordinary courage dared not
make the race. But Bob Taylor made
it and won.
Because ALI Taylor was considered
to have been euchered out of the nom
ination in the Republican Convention
the eyes of the Democratic Conven-
ton were turned to his young Demo
cratic brother
1t was a race never to be forgotten.
Against young Taylor as the Demo
cratic nominee the Republicans had
already placed in the field Mai A. H.
Pettibone, one of their strongest con
tenders to political honors. Petit
bone drove over the district in a fine
carriage drawn by two fine horses.
Taylor canvassed the hills and hol-
lows astride a little roam stallion. old
and scrubby. He wore a SLOUGH
hat and rough clothes and ever pres
ent under his arm were his fiddle
and the bow" He was heralded
everywhere as the young Knight from
Happy Valley. The days were spent
in joint debate with his opponent. The
nights were spent in fun and frolic
at the country dances, candy pullings
and parties. Bob always played the
fiddle.
In debate Pettibone was grave, seri-
GUS and dignifed Taylor was Iudi-
crous and humorous. Pettibone

SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TENNES.
SEE

No announcement has as yet been
made about the location of the Sum-
mer Normal School for Negroes in
the state of Tennessee. Last year
there was one in each grand division
of the state In fact for the past
few years it has been the custom of
the state education board to so ar
range these schools that the three
divisions would be equally benefited,
getting their instructors from all
over the state. However, some an
ticipation of general summer
school has been INDUCED in, especial
ly since the announcement was made
that the State Agricultural and Me-
chanical Normal College, located in
Centennial Avenue, would be suf-
ficiently ready to entertain such a
Gathering When Prof Hale was
in the city some time ago, he express
ed an opinion to Globe representa-
tive that a summer school would in
all probability be held, and from
what has been picked up here and
there, it has been taken to mean that
the state proposes to inaugurate the
State Normal School work by hold
ing a general summer school in this
CITY for the entire Negro population
of Tennessee. Especially is this idea
gaining ground since it was announc-
ed from educational headquarters
that the appropriation for the sum-
mer Normal would be unusually light
this year. So on this account, and
on account of the central location of
Nashville with the excellent improve
ments, accommodations and facilities
that will be offered at the State Nor
NAL. it was definitely thought and is
still hoped that if but one Normal
or Summer School is to be conducted,
that it will be held at the State Nor
NAL School, so that every teacher in
the old volunteer state who desires
TO. can inspect the grounds and
buildings of what promises to be enc
of the best institutions in the South
land A Globe reporter called upon
Mr.. Ben Carr, the superintendent of
agriculture. and asked him If he
knew anything aobut the general sum-
mer school to be held at the Normal.
He replied that he would be very
glad to entertain any of the teachers
who wanted to get good idea of
raising corn, cotton potatoes, beans,
peas, and who wanted to know some
thing of stock raising, as the summer
would be his busy season. The farm
is in fine condition, stated Mr.. Carr,
and he further stated to the Globe re-
porter that the literary matter con-
nected with the school was in the
hands of Prof. Hale, the president,
and Prof. White, Dean of the school.

EXPOSITION BILL PASSED SEN.
ATE.

| Special to the Globe.
Washington, D. c., April 2.-The
Senate Bill appropriating two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars to
aid in the celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the Emancipation of
the slaves passed the Senate today
with little opposition. This appro-
priattion if concurred in by the lower
House will assure the holding of the
much-talked of exposition in 1913.
1t is expected that the House will
pass the measure in a few days and
it is believed that President Taft will
atfiX his signature to it. If is passes
the Lower House in the form that it
passed the Senate it will be far in
excess of what was originally asked
for; but will not be too much for such
an undertaking. 1t was doubtless real
lied by the Senate Committee that
the amount asked for by the original
promoters would not be sufficient to
make a creditable showing, and of
their own vOlition, feeling as they
did that the Negroes of the United
States merited more than asked for,
they raised the amount to two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. Since
the matter was first mentioned a
great deal has been said as to where
the celebration should he held Nash
vile is making a strong bid and it
is believed that the exposition will
be held in Tennessee's capital if it
goes through Nashville offers many
advantages to such an enterprise and
will do more to sustain it than any
other city in the South.
