RISKS LIFE FOR THIRD TIME.
w. f. Thciling Saves Helpless Sol
dier from Drowning.
News and Courier. 11th.l


fit yesterday afternoon while stand
ing on the Custom House dock, C. c..
Tebbett, Il coast artilleryman, sta
toned at the army post on Sullivan s
Island, narrowly escaped drowning
whom he fell into the Cooper river.
lie was rescued by William f. Theil-
ing, OF 81 Anson street. The police
were notified of the accident and
fastened the man TO the Roper Hos
pital, where he was given prompt at
tention.
TcDbett is still at the Roper Hos
pital in very serious condition from
the effects of the water that he swal-
lowed while in the river. Mr.. Theil-
ing, who made the rescue, deserves
the congratulation OF his friends for
his heroism.
Tebbett, who IS a private in the
10th company Of the United States
coast artillery of Fort Moultrie, was
awaiting at the Custom House dock
the arrival Of the steamer that con-
veys the soldiers between the fort
and the shore. lie suddenly became
i'll, while standing on the edge Of the
wharf and fell into the river uncon-
scious. 1t SO happened that Mr..
Theiling, who Is employed as press
man at the Daggett Printing Com
pany, had just gotten off from work
and was on his way home, when he
saw the soldier fall into the water.
Rushing to the place where he saw
the artilleryman fall, he Immediately
saw the plight OF the unfortunate
same time tossing his hat away, Mr..
Theiling plunged into the river with
his shoes and the rest Of his clothing
on. Mr.. Theiling had nothing to di-
rect him to the exact place where
Tebbett went down, except a few
bubbles that rose to the top Of the
water.
Suddenly Tebbett's arms shot up
ward. Grasping tho unconscious
man, Mr.. Theiling swan to a nearby
boat. where a number Of men assist
ed in getting Tebbett on the wharf
Help was summoned, and until the
arrival Of the police automobile Mr.
| Theiling, as wet as he was, directed
the work Of restoring the soldier to
consciousness.
Tcbbctt was then removed to the
hospital in the auto ambulance,
where the house surgeons pumped
| the rest Of the water from the man S
stomach. After TebbetC had been
completely restored to consciousness,
Mr.. Theiling was taken to his home,
21 Arson street, IN the police auto
where he changed his wet clothing.
It was q rare bit Of heroism on the
part Of Mr.. Theiling. This is not the
first life that this young man has
saved. Some ten years ago, when a
lad Of 4 years old. he rescued a ten
ycar-old companion, who was seized
with a cramp while swimming off
! the head Of the Columbus street
wharf. Later he saved a man about
five years ago at the Navy Yard. He
is very modest abont these facts, and
seems to think that he was not doing
anything more than his duty.

The cotton crop, up to this time.
from reports coming in, is in
most promising condition. with
very few weevils reported. 1t
should be the duty of every bust
ness man in the community to en-
courage the planters in going back
to cotto now that it is shown that
full crop can be grown. The
condition of the business of the
town. as reported by merchants
aud other business men; now and
before the abandonment of the
cotton crop. due to the advent uf
the boil wrevils, shows conclusive
" that the culture Of cotton is of
more benefit to the business inter-
e SIS of the town than that nf cane.
Cotton is Iypically poor mans
crop. He gets the benefit of the
assistance of his children, and can
work with success small creole
mules. To make the crop GER
tainty, the best variety of seed
must be used. Either Tools or
Simpkins being we'll adapted to

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1912.
Our state Normal.

Monday, September 10th, will mark
the opening of the first session of the
Colored State Normal of Tennessee.
Negroes of this state have long looked
forward to this day. Even before
the school was established there was a
hope entertained that at some time
this state would take her place with
other states in the education of Ne
gro youth. When the bill was intro
duced and passed it was not thought
that within the brief period of three
years the school would be a reality.
But such is the case, and all Tennes-
see rejoices in the fact that this in
stitution will in a few days throw
open its doors to the young Negroes
of this state
The part the Globe played in this
achievement has often been recited.
1t is too well known for repetition
here. Although the Bulletin issued
by the Board makes no mention of
the heroic fight put up by the Globe
for the establishment of this instiu-
ion, the people know themselves that
long before the Chattanooga Times"
or any daily paper in Tennessee
thought of saying a word about a Ne
gro Normal, the Globe in feeble way
was crying out that the Negro youth
of Tennessee might have their share
of the money paid each year by the
government and what they were en-
titled to from the State of Tennessee
for a normal education We rejoice
with the people at this achievement,
and we only hope that the school
win be conducted for the best inter
ests of the Negroes Of Tennessee.

The Political upheavaI.

One not acquainted with the meth
DDS employed by politicians when
when they are engaged in heated cam
paigns would be led to believe that
we stand on the threshold of a great
panic in this country. But when it
is remembered hat this nation is ma
king progress, and that our form of
government is becoming more perma-
nently established as the years go by,
it will be seen that there is no cause
for an alarm at this time
Politicians work to win. In most
cases it is an instance of bread and
butter with them| and when they be-
gin to "whoop up things" they are not
appealing to the thinking men, but
rather to the unthlnIing. The man
who thinks is able to decide the issues
Of the day for himself; but the ma
jority of men wait to be told of the
conditions that obtain, and then make
up their minds what political faction
they will support
There is no real danger confronting
the American people This country is
too large, and its resources are too
varied, and its people too intelligent
and patriotic for its destiny to depend
upon any one political party.

A Bold Threat.

In recent issue the Globe felt
duty-bound to call the attention of it's
readers to a certain insurance com
pany that proposes to do business in
this state. Being mindful of the past
and of the many impositions that have
been thrust upon the Negroes Of the
South, it was considered a bounden
duty to warn the people, or rather
caution them to be discreet in their
business ventures. Too often it has
happened that Negroes have been in
duced to take interest in this or that
stock company, only to find out too
late that it was a bad investment.
These misfortunes have served to dis
courage the Negroes to a great extent.
1t has happened to them so often
that they are skeptical, and very slow
to invest in stock companies For this
reason we feel that it is the duty of
every newspaper published by Ne
groes to be on the watch at all times !;
and If any man or set of men goes
into community with a business that

IMPROVING THE LITTLE SAVOY.

Mr. Williams has been improving
the Little Savoy" for the last three
months. The grill room in addition
to the dining-room on the second
floor is open from 6 p m. until 1890

entertainers, John B. Pitt and Ida E.
Wescott, who have been entertaining
in the North and East for the past
six years Mr.. Williams also has

been a success in grill rooms. No
doubt some of our people will want
to know what a grill room means to
cafe. 1t means a place where you
are RECALLED with music and enter
tainment while you are dining.
There is vast difference between
grill room and a club room. The
Little Savoy's main dining-room is
on the ground floor at 426 Cedar

Mr. Understands Fight.

Mr. Wickersham must be given
credit for making a heroic fight for
Mr.. Lewis before the American Bar
Association. He won his round; but
the Negro lawyer will. have to do
just like the Negro doctor. He will
have to organize his own association.
for Judge Dickinson, of Tennessee,
has put in a resolution that practically
limits the Negro membership in the
Bar Association to two, since one of
the three who were made members by
the resolution has resigned.
We do not see any great disadvan-
tage that can come to the Negro law
yers by not being admitted as men,
bers of the American Bar Association.
We rather believe that they can
serve the race better by organizing an
association of their own, where they
can have full sway and every oppor-
tunity for development.
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1912-09-06

is out of the ordinary in any respect,
1t is the duty of the newspaper to call
the Negroes attention to the past and
to warn them to be careful and inves-
tigate the project before taking hold
of it, We fail to see where there is
any wrong in doing this. But never
theless, there are some men who take
exceptions to this course; and only
recently the Editor of the Globe was
threatened with bodily harm by one
Mr.. Johnson, who is the representa-
tive of the "Afro-American Insurance
Company" because the Globe eau
toned the Negroes of Tennessee to
investigate that company before buy
ing stock in the same. For this, the
safety of the life of the Editor is in
question, and the perpetuatlon of the
Globe is threatened
1t has not been said in these col
umns that the company referred to is
not all right, but merely that the peo-
pie should take time to see what they
are doing. We feel that such caution
is as helpful to the company under
discussion as it can be to the Ne
groes themselves, For, if for any
cause whatsoever the people should
become dissatisfied after they had
bought stock in this company it would
do this company untold harm, or any
other company that might be started.
But if the Negroes understand what
they are doing, and know themselves
that they are satisfied with the invest
ment they are about to make, it
strengthens their confidence in bust
ness enterprises and makes the way
easier for all that may follow.
The object of the Globe is to in
terest Negroes in business. We be-
lieve, however, that they should go
at the matter in business-like way, |
and that they should understand what
they are about to do before they do
it, and not go in a haphazard way, in
vesting a few dollars here and a few
yonder We want them to understand |
just what it means to invest in stock
of any kind We want to remove |
from their minds entirely the idea
that dollar invested in stock will in
twelve months bring two dollars in
dividend. We feel that until they I'M
derstand what it means they should |
not be encouraged to invest their lit
tie means in a project of any kind
After the people understand, it will
be useless for any one to kill the edi-
tors of Negro papers or to destroy the
papers. The principle Will be instilled
in the people, and they will be able to
take care of themselves.
