Our State Fair.

Beginning on the oath of this month,
our annual State Fair will be held at
Greenwood Park This exhibition has
grown in proportion with time, but it
has not yet reached that stage of
which the people Of the state can feel
proud. A few men have worked in
cessantly, but the masses have stood
If and criticised.
Indications are that the fair this
year will be better than it has been
before. Some new features have been
added that will show signs of progress
We make special mention Of the poul-
try exhibit, which bids fair to excel
anything yet put on at the fair. It is
also reported that the agricultural ex-
hibits will be better than heretofore.
The live stock department has always
been fairly represented. But the
state of Tennessee has not yet awak.
ened to the great importance Of such
an exhibition. 1t will take time, we
admit, to develop this institution as il
does others. But it is to be hoped
that rapid progress will be made il

The Privileges of Voting.

We fear that the Negroes Of Tennes-
see are not as alert as they should be
in regard to the approaching election.
We admit that the situation is any
thing but harmonious. IN Tennessee
we have a fight on hand that has more
corners than the triangle; but it is as
much the duty of the Negro voter to
study the situation for himself as it
is the duty of the white voter.
This is an age of Independence. 1t
is as prevalent in Tennessee as it is
in other states. The Negroes saliva,
ton in politics lies in his independ-
ence more so than in anything else.
He must think for himself Factions
and parties adopt different schemes to
secure votes. They are not to be CEN
sured for that as long as they are hon
est. But there are some politicians
who attempt to deceive the ignorant,
which is gaining votes by fraud in the
true sense of the word. True, all
men are expected to know the law,
but all men do not know the law, and
there are some men who know they
do not and who take advantage of their
ignorance. Such men are thieves, for
they steal from the ignorant man his
highest privilege and use it to a per
sonal end.
We believe all of the factions con-
tending for supremacy in the coming
contest have the highest motives, but
unfortunately, there creeps into the
council Judas" clothed in purple
garments, and with a meekness of a
lamb on his countenance, but with the
blackness of night in his heart. They
are as deceptive as the prince of dark
ness and have the deceptiveness to
beguile their fellow-men. These are
the traitors that must be guarded
against, and for this reason, every
man who has the intelligence to
exercise the voting privilege should
study carefully the situation. Know
for yourself what is best for you and
your fellow-men, and then courage
ously act your part.

Howl?

Many of our contemporaries are ar
guing that the "iniatiye, Referendum
and Recall" are being advocated with
the purpose of DISTINGUISHING the Ne
gro. This all may be true, but we
have not as yet seen a single reason
advanced now such laws could be
used in that way.
Just to say that Iniative, Referen-
dun and Recall are schemes to dis
franchise Negroes does not make it
so. To make such statements with
out advancing a plausible reason is
absurd. The people who read think,
and they read that their knowledge Of
things may be improved, and that pa
per that prints unsubstantiated news
Is doing that thing most detrimental
to the press, namely destroying conf
dence We ask in all candor, How
can the Iniative, Referendum and Re
call be used to dlsfranchise the Ne
gor?

Livingston pynamltIna.

necessity bring with it a spirit of dis

restlessness is duty-bound, or rather

ern white men to get worried with
out giving vent thereto By committing
some outrageous crime. 1t is natural
for man when these feelings come
over him to seek out the crime that
he believes will call for the least cen
sure, and as the Negro is a good-for-
nothing creature and has been de-
declared to have no rights that are
bound to be respected, he is singled
out as the object of attack.
In Livingston, Tenn, a few nights
ago man who was in the last stages
of consumption and his family had
their house dynamited by a mob whose
reason for the crime has not as yet
been traceable to any act on the part
of the family who had to suffer. All
of the respectable people of the com
munity are shocked at this crime and
strenuous efforts are being put forth
to apprehend the guilty parties. We
fear, however, that the main trouble
for such outbreaks is going unnoticed.
Mobs cannot be broken up by force.
1t is possible to quell a mob in a
community if the proper steps are
taken, for they always consist of cow
ards, cutthroats and murderers. and
a few courageous men can easily put
to flight such a crowd; but driven
from one community, this same crowd
will pick an opportunity to commit
just as heinous a crime in some other
community, and probably more so; for
such characters once aroused, con-

pravity. To break up the mo b spirit

CLAMORING FOR A CHANGE.

In November two kinds Of elections

take part IN 'ne. viz. the presidential

the District of Columbia will take part
in the other by the way Of casting a
straw vote to determine whether the
people of the District are politically
dead or not.

dissatisfaction is being stirred up by
agitators who declare that the present

ranged 10 suit the rich, while the poor

legally responsible to the people. Be

in years past, Senators Blair Spencer

tuberculosis Hospital.

We call special attention of our
readers to an article IN another col
umn on the tuberculosis Hospital re-
Gently established in this county. We
are indebted to DR.. A. NJ. Townsend
for this splendid contribution. 1t is
essential that our readers study it
carefully. AS a people we are dy-
ing rapidly with consumption. The
nature of our houses is part of the
cause, but there are many ways in
which the disease can be combated,
and it must be checked.
Mayor Howse and the city authorl-
ties have outdone the country in the
erection of tuberculosis Hospital,
and every word in the article Of DR..
Townsend is true In fact, it is not
possible for pen to fully describe the
Importance of such an institution, and
it is hard to tell of the natural beauty
and grandeur surrounding our Tuber-
culosis Hospital In fact, it is an ideal
summer resort. A well person could
gain vigor by spending a few days
there, to say nothing of the great need
of those going who suffer with this
dread disease.
Every Negro doctor in Nashville
should have the courage to turn ever
to this Hospital all of their patients
whom they believe to be infected
with the dread disease, turn them over
when their cases are hopeful; send
them out to this institution and let
their lives be prolonged and their
/ health preserved. We behave when
our physicians know of this institution
they will all join heartily in cam
paign to remove from the city every
case of tuberculosis that can be ad
mitted to the tuberculosis Hospital
1t is not a poorhouse. All the money
necessary to care for the patients viii
be furnished and every attention viii
be given to white and black alike. II
is the aim of the city to improve the
health of the people, and every doctor
every minister, every school teacher
and in fact all, should join in to make
this institution a success.

MR.. HOWARD VISITS NASHVILLE.

Mr.. A. j. Howard of Ebenezer, Miss,
paid a visit to Nashville this week at
ter a lapse of twenty-one years. Mr..
Howard taught in Walden University
many years ago, after which he went
to his home and subsequently went
into business. He has conducted a
successful merchandise business at
Ebenezer several years.
A little reunion was held between
ex-Mississippians while Mr.. Howard
was here. Several old friends were
stumbled upon. Among them were
Mr.. S. P. Harris, Councilman from
the Third Ward; Mr.. S. j. Nesbitt
the popular drayman; Miss Louretha
U. Chambers, one of the Sunday
school editors of the Baptist Publish
ing Board. Mr.. Howard was very
favorably impressed with Nashville
and her possibilities.

the fathers, which included the fell
lowship and political guardianship of
the black man and brother, out of
which were vouchsafed certain al
legged constitutional rights, of late
abrogated by default of the said Re-
publican Party. The Democratic
Party is scarcely more uninviting
than the Republican Party as at
present constituted, but the Demo-
Gratis offer no relief except such as
will come frrm a downward revision
of the tariff a subject far less vital
to the colored citizens than the ques-
ton of number of constitutional
guarantees of which he is being de-
prived. At first the new Progressive
Party looked like the solution of the
whole problem until Colonel Roose-
welt expressed the wish that no
colored men in the South should have
any part in the birth of the new
party. That in itself is enough to
give the ''lily white" enthusiasts
more encouragement than they have
received throughout the whole Taft
administration, and Mr.. Taft is the
dady of all the lily-whites.

tious for the assembling of nation

back TO their senses. In just the
same proportion as the sixty-eight
Negro delegates held the balance of

Convention, the colored voters hold

ator Spencer is quoted as having said
that it subjects the people of the
District to a jurisdiction foreign to
the spirit and institutions of the
country.
In giving consideration to the furore
which is now being raised by irate ora
tors on this subject enables one to
take a glance backward Some thirty
odd years ago the people of the Dis
trict enjoyed their franchise. In those
days the people of Washington elected
their mayor and other officials with
the ballot But the colored vote
was very active and succeeded in max
ing things politically, very warm. In
order to get rid of the officious color
ed politician the white people sought
and gained another form OF govern
ment. the same one with which they
are displeased with today. In those
days republican sentiment and lnilu-
ence was at high tide and the idea
of disfranchisement was not dreamed
Of But today, it is more probable,
that the leading minds who are clam
oring for a change in government
have under consideration the feasibili-
ty of dealing more successfully with
the colored man in politics than they
did in the long ago, and in so arrang-
ing matters to prevent him from be-
ing as prominent and troublesome as
he used to be.
The urgent demand for change in
government, to our way of thinking,
bears such earmarks and it may be
worth while for the wide awake men
of the District to be on the alert
