Board. composed of the Cover
nor and Comptroller. and Treas
urer. will meet Monday at Aus
tin. for the purpose of fixing the
tax rate.
II is very probable, however.
this important duty will have to

that the total assessed valuations
will not have been received from

1t is the general belief that the

HADLEY PARK AN HISTORICAL
SPOT.

The dedication OF Hadley Park on
July 4th brought back "reminiscences
of historical events that the Negro
children of Nashville could not find
if they searched history from now
until the millennium. Fortunately,
however, for the Negroes, a few OF
the ante-bellum members of the race
reside in the city and from them has
been gained much information about
Nashville, which has possibly more
historic surroundings and places of
interest than any other city of the
South. Nashville, the battle-ground;
Nashville the neutral; Nashville the
educational center; Nashville the city
of opportunities; Nashville the lead
ing city in the South, that has sent
more men of the race into the bust
ness and professional world, still has
much unwritten history about it con-
nected with the race, After the able
addresses by the Park Commission,
bv the Mayor of the city, and by
prominent citizens from all over the
county had been responded to, the
dedicatory address, delivering the
park over to the city Of Nashville,
the fact was brought out by several
of the Oldest citizens that right from
the very porch where His Honor, the
Mayor. delivered his splendid adj
dress, followed by the Park Commits
sion. the noted Fred Douglass stood
forty years before and with eloquence
that made him live long in the mem
cries of the people, delivered one of
his most celebrated talks. Mr.. Doug
lass. it is said by some of the old
citizens, was entertained by the land
lord and landlady of the house, who
we're looked upon as the most liberal
people in the South, who, while slay e
owners, believed in the Declaration OF
independence that all men were ere
ated free ard equal A characteristic
figure who was present and heard all
of the addresses declared to the mas
/ ter of ceremonies that unless he spoke
he would burst. It was Mr. A. B.
Pope, who is seyenty-fve years old.
Mr.. Pope was given privilege to make
some remarks. Mounting the porch,
he declared that from that same

to the world that we practice the
doctrine Of a square deal to all classes
OF our people, regardless of race,
color or previous condition. in life.
The spirit of cooperation and good
feeling which exists between the
white and colored races Of this city
has made it possible to accomplish
many substantial and lasting i'm
provements conducive to the perma-
nent welfare of both races and the
location Of this park in close prox-
unity to the great Fisk University
and the Tennessee Normal School
should prove of inestimable value to
the colored race of this city.
We should not neglect this oppor-
tunity to express our grateful appre-
citation to Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who
has, through his munificence, made
it possible for the colored people of
tho city of Nashville to have a pub
lie library of their own, and this in
stitution, when erected, will be main
tanned by an appropriation of twenty
five hundred dollars annually by the
Mayor and the City Council.

my labors in bringing about the To-
cation of the State Normal in David

Nashville. We have in this city the

ment you, but because l know it to

Mr.. Bradley Walker, Secretary of
the Board, said that he held unique

times when the Commission got into

mouse forty years ago he had taken
his wife, that she was a servant in the
Harding Home. He also said he had
stood guard during the war over that
family and with the rife and musket
ne had protected them from invaders
and marauders who were infesting
this section of the country during and
after the war. He brought tears to
the eyes of those in the audience
when he said he was glad he had
lived long enough to witness the prog
ress being made by the Negroes and
to know that God was in the plan.
He expressed undying gratitude to
the old inhabitants who at one time
declared that they were some among
the best people who ever lived. These
two incidents were the eye-openers
OF the day and added history to the
new Hadley Park that is going to
make modern history.
Capt. Alexander Richardson Speaks.
An entertaining speaker who made
an impromptu talk during the dedica-
tory exercises at Hadley Park July
4th, was Capt. Alexander Richardson,
Of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, retired,
who, in addressing the audience, de-
clared that since he had listened to
the addresses just delivered and a
recapitulation Of the advancement
among the Negroes of Nashville and
Davidson County, he had picked up
more information than he was able
to gain in the thirty years he was in
the army. This afternoon has been
worth more to me from a historical
point of view, it has given me more
real encouragement than the entire
thirty years l spent in the United
States Army. l enlisted in 1875 and

presented the park to the Negroes Of
Nashville. His address was full Of
enthusiasm. He said:
Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen Of the
Honorable Park Commission and
Fellow Citizens:
am happy to appear before this
representative gathering Of the col
cred citizens Of the city Of Nashville
and express my keen appreciation Of
the wisdom and progressiveness dis
played by the members Of the Park
Commission Of this Municipality in
purchasing for the exclusive use of
the colored people this magnificent
park. This, so far as my knowledge
goes, is the first public park pur-
chased by any municipality anywhere
for the exclusive use of the colored
people and IL is fitting that Nashville,
the Athens of the South, and first
in everything looking to the advance
ment Of all classes Of its citizens,
should lead the way in proclaiming

ing the donation of twenty-five thou
sand dollars for a public library for
the colored citizens, and my recon-
mendation to the Honorable City
Council that they guarantee an ap-
preparation of twenty-five hundred

believe the colored citizens in
this city are more intelligent, more
progressive, more peaceful and law
abiding than the colored population
CT other cities throughout the coun-
try, and l base this opinion upon the
substantial accomplishments of the
colored people of this city, upon the
freedom from contentious. strife and
riots, and upon their record as useful
progressive citizens of the city of
Nashville.
Allow me in closing these remarks
to express the hope that we will con-
tinue in the future as we have in
the past to dwell together in peace
and harmony, each striving to aid
the other in all things, looking to-
ward the advancement of both races,

he said:

De destroyed. JOHN WARE
That notice was 80 extraordinary
that stopped over for a late train and
called on John Ware. He was a genial
old man and willing to talk. He said
he was a person to whom people vol
UNFAIRLY confided secrets; that many
persons in bursts Of confidence had
written letters to him which they no
doubt afterward regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said; Destroy
this sometimes they didn't. Anyhow,
John Ware had kept most of those in
eliminating letters. But now that he
was getting old he had seen what
harm might result from those letters
falling into strange and INSCRIPTIONS
hands, and he had burned them and
had taken that novel way Of notifying
his correspondents that they were
safe.
"That talk with John Ware set me
thinking. The first thing did when
got back to New York was to burn a
batch OF letters"

when the bees escaped" said Mr..
Demuth. Il watched their behavior
and was surprised to find they had no
difficulty in flying out at the open car
door and flying ahead of the moving
car. The car was going at the rate OF
30 or 40 miles an hour. In my opin-
lon, the flight of d honey bee must
exceed the speed of the average rail-

DON'T FAIL 10 VOTE

The primary election next Tues
day does not seem to he attracting
much attention and the indications
are that light vote will be polled
in town. The only fight on the
democratic state ticket is for sup

neither of the candidates seem to
be active.
The fight on the republican state
ticket for congressman and on the
county ticket for members of
assembly may cause more republi
cans than democrats 10 vote. Six
republicans are striving for five
places on thine assembly ticket and
the homo candidates will doubtless
rustic all the votes they can.
While the primary campaign has
been without. excitement and moth

interest of voters, every citizen
should cast his ballot next Tuesday
for the candidates of his choice.
