City Beautiful.

The citizens of Nashville are plan
ming a campaign to beautify the city.
Nature has blessed this community
in many ways, and it is left with the
people to take advantage of what
has been given them. In some cities
where the surface is low or where it
is extremely billy the people are put
to a great disadvantage when they
attempt to beautify; first of all the
expenses are great, and again the
work is tedious. But the founders
of Nashville must be given credit for
excellent judgment in selecting the
site for the capital city of Tennessee
Our city is in a section of the state
that is rolling, and in places can be
found plateaux that cannot be excel
ed in natural beauty
1t Is the duty of every citizen to joir
in this campaign to beautify and make
attractive the Athens of the South
Every backyard should be cleaned III
and every fence white-washed Of
painted, and the people should joir
with the city officials in this crusade
against filth and dirt.

On Friday night, the Sth inst, the
colored Republicans met at Masonic
Hall in response to the call of Mr.. A.
w. Saunders, chairman of the 18th
District Republican Club, to consider
the political situation. Much dissat-
isfaction has been manifest of late
over the action Of the white Repub-
licans in electing delegates to the
State Convention, and not one of them
being colored, Notwithstanding the
/ fact that four-ffths of the Republi-
cans of the county are colored. A
letter was written lately by Chairman
Saunders to State Chairman Hon.
Newell Sanders, complaining of the
theatment the colored Republicans
had received here at the hands Of
their white brethren, and Mr., Sanders
replied very kindly and gave some
logical advice. Investigation shows
that the complaint was not we'll found
ed from the fact that the colored re-
fused to attend the call of the regular
Republican county convention at
elected. therefore the white had the
meeting all to themselvs and did as
thy pleased Certainly if we want
recognition, we must first put our
selves in line whether they want us
there or not, and then we will have
some ground for complaint if not
treated right. In view of the mis-
take that had been made, the meeting
resolved to support Gov, Hooper, Pres
ident Taft and the entire Republican
ticket, as the best policy for the gen.
eral interests Of the race.

Emancipation Exposition.

Since the committee reported fay
orably on the recommendation that
an appropriation be made for the cele.
bration of the fiftieth anniversary of
the emancipation of the American
slaves, a deal has been said by many
as to the advisability of such an I'M
dertaking. Some have thought that
it is too late to begin the preparations
for such show, but this is not so,
for when it is remembered that ali
such expositions are usually held a
year after the actual date, it can be
seen that this exposition will have
two years time for preparation.
The celebration should be held, and
it should be held in the South 1t
is here that the slave Negroes render
ed the most service, and it is here
that the majority of them live and
must live for all time to come. Their
interests are here; they own property
and have established homes in the
South; and this exposition should be
held in this section of the country,
to show of all people, the Southern
white man in particular, that the APP
preparation was not amiss.

WHITE DlARRHoEA.

White diarrhoea has gathered it's
countless thousands of chicken vic
Tins from every section of the coun-
try, and has given the breeder more
trouble in combating it than probably
any other disease. 1t is said to be
caused by some irritation of the d.
gestive system, and, according to DR..
Morse, of the bureau of animal in
dustry, United States department Of
agriculture, is caused by an animal
tract of the bird. The disease claims
parasite being absorbed in the intesti-
nal tract of the bird. The disease
claims as it's victims mostly chicks
between the ages of and weeks.
The symptoms are dullness and gen.
eral weakness, accompanied by a
white, pasty, fecal discharge. 1t may
be spoken of as a symptom rather
than as a disease, for it is an outward
sign of some internal diseased con-
dition, which may have the afore-
mentioned parasite of Morse as the
specific agent causing the trouble.
The treatment for white diarrhoea
among young chicks is an almost
hopeless task. The treatment is one
of prevention, and this must begin
with the eggs used for Matching
These should be thoroughly and an
tiseptically cleaned by wiping in 95
per cent. alchol If artificial incu,
baton is used (and in this method
lies the great hope of succeSs), the
incubator, if used before, should, pre-,
vious to receiving the eggs, be care
fully washed with antiseptic solutions
and exposed to the sun. The egg
tray should be scalded or famed, and
the floor should be movable, so thai
it may be removed and sterilized
and if made of burlap, the old piece
should be torn off and a new one
mounted on the sterilized frame, The
same precautions should be used will
the breeders. The sun has a grea
disinfecting action, and ifapoultry
men will see to it that the soil t
which the chicks have access is wei
sprinkled with lime, dug up and ex
posed to this natural disinfectint
agent, there would be less trouble
from disease.
However, with all the foregoing pre-
cautions, absolute freedom from tn
disease can not be gained withou
further experimentation, and many o
the stations are now working on il
Exchange.

FRIDAY, MARCH is, 1912.
The Day Of Opportunity.


1t is often said that the door Of op-
portunity opens to a man once in life,
and that if he failed to take advantage
of it then it is closed against him
forever. This Is merely a supposi-
ton, but it is fact that the same op-
portunity never returns, and it is also
true that the time when the oppor-
tunity presents itself can never be re-
called. If the opportunity is not
grasped when it is first presented,
just so much is lost to that individual
or to that people.
Negroes of Tennessee have an op-
portunity now as they have never
had before to exert their manhood in
the exercise of their political rights.
Our State is in a turmoil. There are
factions in all of the political parties.
Again, there are discussions among
the men of the different factions.
This causes everything to be uncer-
tain, and no one can tell what the
outcome will be- But whatever is
done the state will remain and the
people will be here as its citizens for
all time to come.
The opportunity that presents itself
to the Negroes of the state is, they
have a chance now to exercise good
judgment in casting their votes. They
are charged with being followers OF
the wiskey element; some of our
daily papers delight in trying to con
vince the world that all of the dis
sensions that exist in Tennessee now
have been brought about by the Ne
gro voters. Neither is true; but
nevertheless, the charge is being
made, and it is up to the Negroes tc
prove it false Not only changing
their attitude or belief pertaining tt
things political, but by remaining alb
solutely Independent and voting ac
cording to their best judgment, a!
they have been doing for the last few
years.
The silly charge is made that Ne
groes are democrats, or rather q
large per cent. of them; but it il
known that no one can be a democrat
in Tennessee save a white man. This
does not prevent Negroes from vot
ing for man who styles himself {
democrat if he chooses to do so, MOI
does it prevent Negroes from voting
for man who styles himself re
publican if they deem the man the
proper person, and they have The
same right to vote for a man who /!
styled as an Independent, whatever
that may he, but so long as the mar
is believed to be an honest and coura
geous man, Negroes have as mucl
right to vote for him as anyone else
The opportunity they have now is t
select for themselves the man they
think worthy to hold office. If they
abuse that opportunity while it il
now offered it may never come Il
them again.

Second Trial of "Dutch" Jones

Little Rock, July.23. The sec ond trial of former Constable w. A. Jones began Monday in Pull aski circuit court, and will be terminated in two or three days more. Only a few hours were required to select the jury from one hundred country venirmen that had been brought in by the sheriff.
 The opening statements were made by Pros. Atty. Rogers for the state and JudgeF.T. Vaughan for the defense. The state de- clared that it expects to prove that Jones was the agressor and fired the first shot, which killed Police Sergeant w. 1. Campbell April 19, while the defense eX- poets to prove that Jones acted only in self defense, and that at least two of Campbell's fellow officers joined in the fusillade of shots fired upon the constable.
 Should Jones be acquitted he would at once resume his office as constable of Big Rock town ship, and as the democratic nomi- nee would be reelected in Sep tember.
 The first jury stood nine to three for acquittal.

BRIDES PREFER CITY MAN
Investigation Shows They Would Rather Be Poor in Town Than
 Rich Away From 1t.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 23.-Money comfort, fresh air, good things to eat such things are not sufficient to tempt marriageable American women away from the cities. Most of them prefer to marry city men, even if they are poorer providers.
 That conclusion has been reached by the Rev. William J. Dalton, pastor of the Annunciation Catholic Church here after reading the letters of 6,452 persons who desire to marry and have written to him for help.
 "The only women who express a willingness to marry farmers are el' derly women who find themselves alone in the world, Father Dalton said But the farmers who ask for wives are younger men and they do not marry such women"
