No Issue Between DR.. Griggs and DR..
Morehouse-Does Not Anticipate
Being Recalled = Labors In
creased-Interest Becoming
Widespread-Dr. Gilbert
Writes Letter.

To the Editor of the Nashville Globe:
In an article appearing in your
journal of February 10th, under the
caption NEGRO Baptists Must Go 1t
Alone" pertaining to the proposed
National Baptist Theological Semi
nary, among other things you say:
"The assertio n leaked out somehow
that the present SECRETARY of the Edu-
cational Board, Rev. S. e. Griggs, was
going around misleading facts and
that the. Home Mission Society had
never promised the $4,000.
and the utterance of the Educational
Secretary. DR.. Griggs, is regarded
by DIR. Morehouse as false and mis-
leading So Just what will be done
when the Educational Board meets
or whether DR.. Griggs will be re-
called is not known in Nashville, as
few, if any, of the Baptists in au-
thority will comment, even the editor
Of their National organ is unwilling
TO make any statement for publica-
ton"
| beg to inform you and your read
ers that there is not the slightest
kind of an issue between DR.. More
house and myself, but the issue is
wholly between him and the Nation
al Baptist Convention.
The National Baptist Convention
claims that DR.. Morehouse did offer
the money in question, and the Con-
vention, through it's Education Board,
| instructed me to so inform the Bap-
lists Of the country. For two years
have been obeying the command of
the Convention and have been max
ing the assertion in season and out
of season. 1t has been nothing like
a secret. If the claim is false one
it is our National Conventions false,
not mine. The entire Baptist brother
hood understands that.
Instead of being recalled because
of our having made the assertion,
/ nothing bu praise has come on all
sides because of our tireless efforts
to have the Convention meet the con.
ditions imposed. The denial that
the pledge was ever made, instead
of decreasing my labors as Educa.
tional Secretary, rather increases
them. Our great National Baptist
Convention, be assured, will take nc
backward step, and the only effect
will be an enlargement and broaden
Ing Of cur plans.
Though the issue as to whether
the promise was ever made is not
between DR.. Morehouse and myself
(although in the current issue of oul
National paper I take up the matter
With HIM I append hereto portions
of a letter bearing on the matter
from the eminent Dr. M. w. Gilbert
formerly pastor in this city, now
the President of Selma University
Very respectfully,
SUTTON e. GRIGGS.

Mr.. VIM. CHAPMAN ADDRESSES
THE YOUNG MEMS LYCEUM
AT WALDEN

Thompson's Chapel of Walden Uni
versity was the center of much in
terest on Friday evening, the 23rd
inst, when the Young Mems Lyceum
of that institation rendered its four
teenth annual program. Mr.. VIM. A.
Chapman, of Miami, Fla, and a men,
Der of the Junior Medical Glass Of
Meharry, is known as an orator or
rare eloquence, his persuasive speech
having several times been heard at
public exercises of the university.
The musical part of the program was
excellent, there being several selee-
tons by the young men and women's
Glee Club, and an instrumental solo by
Miss Mary Hall, of the college de-
partment The subject of the lecture
was "The Nobility of Duty" This Mr..
Chapman treated in a most scholarly
manner, and won the applause of the
audience. He has on several occa-
sions been honored with the oratori-
cal badge, and has always proved
himself worthy of the distinction.
His class chose him as It's represen-
tative to the Emancipation anniver-
sary held at Meharry Auditorium on
January 1, 1911, when, with marked
conspicousness and with dazzling
splendor, he shone in the orb OF
speakers Of that eventful day.

CAPTAIN YOUNG NOW A MAJOR
IN U. S. ARMY.

The u. s. Army Establishment
has new major "of color"-the only
one now in service. Capt. Charles
Young, whose long and useful career
as a West Point student military in
structor at Wilberforce, military at
tache at Portau- Prince, Haiti, soldier
in Cuba, the Philippines, on the
Mexican border and at various
posts in this country, is well-known
to every follower Of current history,
has successfully passed the examina-
ton required, and is now a full
nedged Major in the regular army.
The test was given at Fort Riley,
Kansas, before a board composed OF
veteran military tacticians. Major
Young came out with flying colors.
He sails this week for Monrovia, La
IBERIA, to assume the duties of Mill
tary Attache at the American Lega-
ton. One of his primary response
bilities will be the organization OF
Liberian Constabulary. Major Young
will be accompanied by three bright
young college men who will bear
military titles conferred by the LII
brarian government, and will draw
handsome salaries, paid out of the
Librarian custom collections, over
which an American receiver-general
will have jurisdiction. DR.. Wilson
Ballard, Of Louisville, KY, will be a
Major at $4,000 per annum and quar-
tiers; DR.. Arthur Brown, of Chicago,
and Mr.. Richard Newton, of Wash
ington, D. c., will be captains at
$1,000 per annum and quarters.
These young men have been work
ing hard, and because of the inspira-
tion their recognition will bring to
others of the race now struggling for
opportunities to rise.
Major and Mrs. Young are the
guests of the Dickerson family at
Iii Eleventh street. Mrs. Young,
Californian by birth, will remain
in Washington for the present, as
she desires to see something of Wash
ington and the East before leaving
for foreign shores. The Youngs have
been the recipients of much social
attention during their stay here.

school. has been elected Secretary of
the Institute. Mr.. Scott will how
ever continue to serve Principal
Washington in the same capacity
One Of the most interesting features
of the school work which the North
ern guests had an opportunity of OBJ
serving was a novel kind of rhetori-
cal exercise held in the Chapel Thurs
day evening. Instead of the tradi-
tional essays and recitations which
the announcement of rhetorical ex-
ercises had led the guests to expect,
they found the stage Of the Chapel
fitted up with steam and electrical
machinery and various kinds of APP
paratus used by the students in the
shop, in the dairy and in the cook
ing department. A portion Of the stage
had been fitted up as a dining-room
and kitchen with a kerosene oil
range, end in this setting young
woman demonstrated to the students
and guests of the school how to set
table and how to cook and serve
meal. The whole operation had
been cleverly dramatized and was
carried out amidst the applause Of
audience The performance was es-
pecially admired by the men of the
party.
Another interesting feature of the
rhetorical exercises was a demonstra-
ton of the method in which, a letter
written by a student is collected by
the post Office department, stamped,
put in the mail bags, carried to its
destination and delivered. This
demonstration was given by one of
the students who is employed in the
Government Institute Post Office.
What made this demonstration all the
more interesting was that after the
student had described in a very inter
esting manner and in the greatest
detail how the letter had been writ
ten, COLLECTED, Cancelled, distributed,
put in the mail packet, carried to the
train and thence to its destination at
Clark University, Atlanta, Georgia,
the writer took the liberty of opening
the letter and reading its contents,
Friday afternoon the two par
ties Of guests-one from Chica-
go and the other from New
York-united and went by spe-
cial train to Atlanta, where they were
the guests at dinner, Friday night
February 29rd, of the Atlanta Cham
Der of Commerce. At that point the
two parties separated again, one go
ing North to Chicago and the other
North and East to New York City
The present meeting of the Board
was voted one of the most successful
ones in the history of the Institute

feeling that has prevailed between
the whites and blacks in the extreme
southern portion of this country since
the killing recently of Lee jenkins, "a
white storekeeper at EgatOn, by Tom
Tom Slaughter, eliminated last night
when six whitecappers took Gus
Evans and VIII Davie from their
homes at Kennedy at about midnight
for the purpose of whipping them.
Mr. Evans met the white cappers with
a volley of lead, and as a consequence
he was not whipped. Davie was not
quite so fortunate.
County Judge Knight, Sheriff John
son and Deputy Sheriff Smith visit
ed Kennedy in person, returning this
fternoon and bringing Davie with
them. AS soon as the outrage was
reported Circuit Judge Hanbery call
ed the grand jury that Is now in SEES
sion into court and gave them special
instructions to investigate this fully
and If possible to return indictments.
Davie went before the grand jury
this afternoon. Davie SAYS that he
was made to get up and in his bare
feet and night clothes he was taken
a distance of nearly two miles and
tied up to a tree and whipped with
something he thinks was a broad
strap. He says they charged him
with talking too much about the kill
ing of Jenkins and ordered him to
leave the country, which he agreed to
do. After releasing him they told
him to run, which he did. He said
the men we're masked, and he replied
evasively when asked II he could
identify any of them. He is being
kept in the Jail tonight.
After returning this afternoon
Judge knight said he did not fear
any further trouble He made a full
