Some Plain Talk.

There is a kind of spirit that never
got a town anywhere nor its people.
IT'S for lack of the necessary moral
and financial support from enough
of the citizens of the community.
In Nashville, as in all other commu-
mites, there are community debtors.
They always want the other fellow
TO do the work while they selfshly
buckle down to their private affairs
and try to get everything they can
out of the community without put
ting anything in or else they an
nounce with much gusto that they are
not going to join until they see what
the organization does. 1t is not a
question of seeing what the other
fellow does with such an ~organiza-
ton IS the Nashville Negro Board of
Trade. It's what am l doing? What
are you doing? What can we all do
working together to advance the in
terests of all of the Negroes of Nash
Vile and the interests of our COM
munity in general?
Nashville Negroes have a develop
ment organization. 1t Is known as
the Nashville Negro Board of Trade.
II a be made the one bunch of live
wires to do something for this race
and town of ours. The question is,
DO you belong to it? If not, what
excuse have you for letting the other
fellow do all the work while you get
the benefit? The Negro Board OF
Trade is asking, if you are a mem.
Der, are you a worker? The mar
Who is really of use to a community
is the fellow who gives himself
some of his time. some of his brains,
some of his initiative and energy
to an organization like the Negro

men who have interests IN COM.

THE NASHVILLE NEGRO BOARD OF TRADE

1t is the opinion of the writer
that the Nashville Negro Board of
Trade bids fair to become a most
constructive and important organi-
cation among our people. The con-
Germ can be, as but few other organi-
cations found among the colored cit
izenshlp, instrumental in the AMIGA
bic adjustment of any and all differ
ences which may arise from time
to time between white man and
black man, and which, in itself,
would be worth while, to say moth
ing of the opportunity offered for
friendly cooperation with the
powers that be-" thus securing for
cur people many advantages that
would never, perhaps, come to us, or
to say the least, would be slow Of
arrival.
The Negro Board of Trade has
within its membership nearly every
business, professional and industrial
oolored man in the community.
Every good colored citizen residing
in Nashville may become a member.
1t is non-sectarian and n%on-political
in it's nature and it stands for the
interests of Nashville in general and
for the Negro race in Nashville in
particular. Its aim is to help adj
vance the sanitary and all other
helpful conditions of the city, like
wiBe, its educational facilities. In
sll of it's efforts effecting the welfare
of the people of Nashville it has
been assured of the hearty co-opera-
ton and help of the white Board OF
Trade and other organizations among
the white citizens.
Community Spirit.
The Negro people, like their white
neighbors, have found out that they
are no longer ruralites, but urban.
ties, and they are really sitting up
and taking notice of their surround
ings. Community life is beginning
at least to be understood better in
some communities than in others
and, in comparing notes, we find
that where community life is best
understood, community living is
most worth while. The Negro Board
of Trade aims to make the commune
ty life cooperative life, by making
it better understood among her PEG
ple. 1t has been charged that the
Negro people give but little thought
to the community as a whole. 1t Is
a case of 'every fellow take care Of

himself and the devil take the hind
most" The good colored citizen
even simply pays his taxes, supports
his church and home, but forgets his
debt Of citizenship. He is so en-
crossed in his own affairs until he
never stops to think about his ser
vice to his community-whether he
has adequate light, police or fire
patrol, paved streets, street car ac-
commodation, or does he stop to in
vestigate whether the rates are ex-
horbitant, and if the service is not
adequate, he does not bother to help
correct it. The Negro Board of
Trade hopes to bring about a civic
awakening among our people that a
new patriotism and a love of the
city will be inspired, 1t believes
that a city, as regards its colored
citizens, will be what the colored
citizens make it or permit it to be.
The Negro Board of trade is strug-
Cling to have the community live
up to its opportunity and not to re-
main Independent and give no heed
to its fellow individuals or to the
common welfare of all. 1t believes
that when it's colored citizens are
united, organized and appreciative
of the fact that the community is as
desirable as the colored people are
making it, and that upon the shoul-
ders of all rests equally the burden
Of responsibility for existing COM
munity conditions, then the COM
munity is progressive and is a crea-
tUre of design and of concerted, in
telligent effort. If the community
spirit prevails and the Negro Board
of Trade is working hard and ardu-
ously to make it so, all of the col
cred citizens of Nashville will work
together for the community welfare
and uplift.

base Of the knoll, he picked up with

young man, who, he learned, was only
a tenant on the ranch. How large

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, In 1882, l became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affliction assumed the
form Of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, sc much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, l doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
10 no avail. Finally / decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until l was
well again, and have not had a re-
currence of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. | have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

Law, Greenville, o., Jan. II, 1911.

ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to Gut

Renovatina Painting.

Often the beauty of a painting Is
lost because it is so thickly covered
with dust. To remedy this follow
these suggestions:
Brush the painting free from dust
and wash the canva with water, u.s.
Ing a sponge. Now take a piece OF
shaving soap and rub it over the en-
tire painting, leaving it on a very
short while. Scrub off with a brush,
and when 1t is thoroughly dried, rub
the canvas with a piece Of linen which
has been dipped into benzine. Do not
use this too freely, however. If the
painting appears dull, a little olive oil
will benefit this. A coat Of thin, col
orless varnish is now applied, which
protects the painting and keeps 1t
bright for a long time.
To brighten a gold frame, boil some
onions in water until soft, mash them
fine and use the fluid that is extract

CHAPTER XII.

Daylight was in the thick of his
spectacular and intensely bitter fight
with the Coastwise Steam Navigation
Company, and the Hawaiian, Mica
raguan, and Pacific-Mexican Steam
ship Company. He stirred up a big
ger muss than he had anticipated,
and even he was ~astounded at the
wide r~amifcations of the struggle and
at the unexpected and incongruous in.
terests that were drawn into 1t. Every
newspaper in San Francisco turned
upon him. 1t was true, one or two Of
them had first animated that they
were open to subsidization, but Day
lights judgment was that the situa-
ton did not warrant such expenditure.
Up to this time the press had been
amusingly tolerant and good-naturedly
sensational about him, but now he was
TO learn what virulent sc~urrilousness
an ~antagonized press was capable OF.
Every episode of his life was resur-
rected TO serve as foundations for ma
licious fabrications. Daylight was
frankly amazed at the new interpre-
thtiOH put upon Ill tHdl ne ndu dC-
complished and the deeds he had
done. From an Alaskan hero he vas
metamorphosed into an Alaskan
bully, liar, desperado, and all-around
bad man." The whole affair sank to
the deeper deeps of rancor and savage
ness. The poor woman who had killed
herself was dragged out of her grave
and paraded on thousands of reams
of paper as a martyr and a victim to
Daylight's ferocious brutality.
He was like a big bear raiding a
beehive, and, regardless of the stings,
he ~obstinately persisted In paving for

struck back. Beginning with a raid on
two steamship companies, IL develop

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health Of its different members is

Is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and s1.0O
bottles. II you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. w. B. Caldwell,
