Delta Penny Savings Bank, of this
city, has been made, as result of the
annual meeting of the stockholders,
which was held at the bank recently.
~ was commendable to note in the
stockholders meeting such a large at

cashier and the president argued
much for the future of the institution
which has helped to furnish a sub
stantial financial rating of the Ne
groos of this section of the state.
The stockholders reelected the en-
tire old board of directors and de-
clared dividend of per cent, which
was paid at the meeting to those pres

an elaborate one-its various features
being Rotations, vocal solos, instru-
mental solos and selections by the
Meharry Quartette and the Young

DR.. WILLIAMS ANNUAL VISIT TO
MEHARRY.

The Department of Surgery at the
Meharry Medical College is attain
ing considerable dimensions in it's
scope and in its facilities and meth
DDS. The most modern facilities and
up-to-date methods are employed in
the practical work in Surgery and
competent corps of instructors in this
branch is maintained.
At the had of the department is
DR.. F A. Stewart surgeon of dis
tinction and rare ability and one who
is strenuously laboring to advance
this most important branch of study
at Meharry.
During the past week DR.. Daniel
H. Williams, of Chicago, held surgi-
cal clinics at Hubbard Hospital for
the instruction of the students, and
performed O large number of opera
tons, which were of very varied
character. The patients were brought
to the hospital by physicians of sew
eral outlying states, and they are
all steadily improving
In all these operations, DR.. Will
Jams was very ably assisted by Or.
f, A. Stewart, Professor. of Sur
gerry, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Professor of
Gynecology, and DR.. ]. A. Mcmillan,
Physician to the Hubbard Hospital,
The Senior and Junior classes were
in regular attendance at the opera
tons, and were very efficiently in
structed by DR. Williams and his as
sistants.
1t is hardly necessary to discuss
at length at this juncture the profess
sional merits of DR.. Daniel H. Will
liams so very well known is he,
but it must be stated that his repu-
tation as a surgeon extends through
out all America
At the close of the clinics, on Sat
urday afternoon. Dr. Williams left for
his home at Chicago.
The senior and junior classes have
contributed to forward him a tangi-
BILE token of appreciation for the in
struction received at his hands.

pie of Nashville, and it appears that
this impression is growing nation
wide.
The Baptist denomination has
looked to him to lead them out of
many embarrassing positions when it
comes to advocating their rights
among printers and publishers of re-
ligious literature, and on each occa-
sion, with undaunted courage, in an
unassuming way he has led them
safely. He is regarded by them as
one of their safest and most beloved
leaders. No one has to look beyond
the gigantic plant operated at the
corner of Locust and Market streets
for a confirmation of the fact that he
lives for his people, furnishing en-
ployment by which more than 200
are benefited each week.

A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.

When Negro wakes up and finds
himself at the head of institutions
that have handled a million dollars
annually, he must be aware of the
fact that he occupies an enviable po-
sition and is in class by himself
especially IN the commercial world
There seems to be only one Negro in
the United States who, through his
own tact and resourcefulness, has
gained this distinction unaided by
philanthropic efforts. Nashville en-
joys the distinction of having in her
midst a man who is at the head Of
institutions whose business last year
went something over a million dol
lars. Richard Henry Boyd, President
of the One Cent Savings Bank, Sec
rotary of the National Baptist Pub
fishing and Home Mission Boards,
President of the Nashville Globe Pub
fishing Company President of the
National Negro Doll Company, and
President Of the National Baptist
Church Supply Company, is the man.
These concerns, through their re
ports, which have just been compiled,
prove conclusively that within the
city Of Nashville, living an unassum-
ing life and spending his days adj
vantageously to all concerned or to
those who come in touch with him,
is this one Negro, who, although,
born slave, has on more than one
occasion demonstrated what few men
ever live to demonstrate. No one
who has lived in Nashville and
watched the success attained on
every occasion and with every in
stitution with which DR.. Boyd is con
nected will doubt that this splendid
specimen of race leadership has fore
sight, tact and ability not usually
found in everyday life.
The Rev. Mr.. Boyd left the city
last week for a trip to Central
America. Just before leaving, wher
told of the stupendous figures of one
million dol ars' worth of business
that had been reaped by the insti
tutions with which he is allied, there
was not a variation of expression or
his face he would sot even discuss
the matter, but changed the CONVEX
sation to one which, to his way o.
thinking, was of more interest to the
masses. He is the father of the
slogan, Negro dolls for Negro chill
dren," and originator of that unborn
determination which has shown it
self time and again and which was
summed up in one utterance of his
that Negroes could best write fol
Negroes" hence the birth of the Ma
tional Baptist Publishing House.

BIG SUNDAY-SCHOoL UNION
MEETING.

The relation of the church to the
Sunday-chool was the theme under
discussion at the regular monthly
meeting of the Sunday-School Union
of Baptist Sunday-schoos held at the
Second Baptist Church, pastored by
Rev. G. B. Taylor, corner Stevens
and Deluge streets, last Sunday.
This was easily the largest
meeting in point of attendance
as we'll as enthusiasm ever held by
the Union The church was full, ev-
cry Sunday-school in the city was rep
resented. The speaker who opened
the discussion, Prof j. D. Crenshaw,
who is editor of the Union-Review,
in discussing the relation of the
church and Sunday-school, scored
telling points in his argument which
was very instructive. After his dis
cussion, three minutes were allowed
which were taken advantage of by
quite number of the pastors as
well as superintendent. Two pa
pers by little girls on Sunday-school
subjects were read to the delight of
the audience. This being the annual
meeting, the election of officers took
place The entire list of old officers
was reelected for the ensuing year:
Rev. T. J. Lewis, president; Mr.. A.
j. Hubbard, vice president; Mrs. Jo-
sic Brown, corresponding secretary;
Miss Florence Burnett, recording sec
rotary and Mr.. Bryant, treasurer.

W dACAs
Busy season begins now, and usual
ly we get the worst of the winter
weather of the north at this time.
Look out for frosted combs and
wattles. A hen with frosted comb
is apt to quit laying, and a male in
the same fix is not Of much use as a
breeder until he is comfortable again
Rub frost bites we'll with cold water,
snow or grease and rub until parts
are soft and of normal color. Then
rub in lard or vaseline. Keep the
bird in cold, open-air quarters.
Use plenty of soft hay or chaff in
the nests and gather eggs often
Don't let the eggs freeze.
Get busy Matching chicks for early
pullets. You want a nice bunch next
fall to make good in the season OF
high prices. Early pullets for fall
and winter eggs.
If litter is damp or dirty remove
it and replace with new material. II
it gets damp quickly, either air out
fhouse more or use less litter. If lit
ter is always damp, try and dry sand
ed floor and s. very little planer shaw
ings. Don't permit dampness in your
poultry house.
Make up your mind this year that
you cannot afford to hatch eggs and
rear chicks from debilitated stock,
birds lacking in constitutional vigor.
It is a waste of time and money. No
matter what your neighbor does,
make up your mind to breed for
health, vigor and vitality.
On the first warm day this month
sweeten up the poultry house. Clean
off the droppings boards, or remove
the manure from the floor if you
don't use them. Use a good disinfec.
tant and lice killer about the roosts
and droppings boards.

Set that broody hen, don't break
her up. Start her with nest full oil
fertile eggs that you have run in an

Don't be i'll a hurry to let hens

New York, April IS.-The
Cunard liner Carpathia, a ship Of
gloom and succor, came into New
York tonight with first news di-
rect from the great White Star
liner Titanic, which sank off the
Grand Banks of New Foundland
early OIL Monday morning last.
The great liner went down with
her band playing, taking with her
to death all but 745 Of her human
cargo of 2,34o souls.
To this awful death list six per-
sons were added. One died in the
life boats which we're put off from
the liners side and FIVE subsequent
ly succumbed on the rescue ship
C~srpathia. The list Of prominent
men missing stands as previously
reported and the total deathlist.
Survivors in the life boats hud-
died in the darkness at a safe dis
lance from the stricken ship and
saw her 60 down. AS to the scene
on board when the liner struck,
accounts disagree widely. Some
maintain that a comparative calm
prevailed; others say that wild dis
order broke out and that there was
a maniacal struggle for the life
boats. That the liner struck an
iceberg as reported by wireless was
confirmed by ali.

STATEMENT OF SHIP-OWN-

Mr.. Ismay tonight gave out the

earding the Titanic disaster On the

"In the presence and under the
shadow OF a catastrophe SO over

deep for expression III words, and
| can only say that the White Star
Line officers and employees will do
everything humanity possibly can
to alleviate the suffering and soI-

"The Titanic was the last word
in shipbuilding. Every regulation
prescribed by the British Board of
Trade had been strictly complied
with. The master officers and
crew were the most experienced
and skilful in the British service.

the tragedy, these are the most sa

Among these last was Mrs.

Accounts vary as to the extent

Not only was the Titanic tear

doom with every ounce of steam
crowded on, but she was under or
ders from the general officers of
the line to make all the speed of
which she was capable. This was
the statement made tonight by ].

of the disaster. He said the ship
was making Fl knots an hour, and
the officers were striving to live up

great sides like a giant can-opener
did not greatly jar the entire yes.

FALSE FIRE ALARM
 AT FAIR GROUNDS
Was a Trick, But It Demonstrated Alertness of the Fire
 Laddies

The Alabama State Fair association fol- lowing their usual custom, has secured a branch fire station at the Fair grounds. It is equipped with an auto-driver com binaton hose wagon and chemical engine. Captain Staunton and a squad of picked fremen are on duty day and night and ready to respond to all calls. They made their first run last night.
 During the intermission between the aft ernoon and night performances numper of boys were playing in the upper part of the grandstand. From their position they could see the fire station. With that desire for mischief that is the natural heritage of boys the world oyer. they de- cided to have little fun with the fire laddes. Assembling together they yelled Fire Fire" as loud as their lungs would permit and then decamped. At the first yell the firemen jumped up and almost before the sound had died away. they had the fire wagon at the point of the grand stand from whence the cry came
 They soon found out it was a false alarm and returned to their station. The incident served purpose, however, and showed the alertness of the little squad of firefighters for they made lightning time in reaching the spot where the alarm was made. They were complimented by several of the officials of the Fair who witnessed the quick turnout and run.
