ORGANIZED w CLASSES.

Fosters Chapel Baptist Church was
comfortably filed last Friday night to
witness the erection of a Metoka and
Galeda class. by Rev. H. A. Boyd, as
sisted by his father, DR., R. H. Boyd,
the Secretary of the Publishing Board.
The attendance was larger, perhaps,
than any e seen on a similar oc-
casion, The pastor, rev. G. B Bold
ing and his superintendent, Mr.. Tom
Groom, had made every possible prep
aration for this occasion.
The officers of the Galeda class are
as follows: Mrs. Mary Bolding, Pres
ident; Mrs. M. L. Groom, Vice Presi
dent; Mrs. Hattie Goodloe, Secretary
and Miss Mildred Martin. Treasurer
The officers of the Metoka class are
as follows: President, Mr.. Ton
Groom; Vice President, Mr. Andrew
Pitts; Secretary, Mr.. Ford Bolding;
Treasurer, John Davis.
Charters were granted these classes
and Rev. Bolding reports that much
enthusiasm was injected into this
body of Sunday-school workers as
result of Friday nights meeting.

of other attempts along this line. In
fact. there have been dailies run by
Negroes in years past. We recall the
daily paper that was published in
North Carolina in the city Of Will
mington that was destroyed by a mob
during the Administrations President
Mckinley. In more recent times the
versatile Phil, H. Brown published
for a while a daily paper in Hopkins
vile, KY. The venture in that case
could not be expected to be perma-
nent in view of the fact that there
were not enough people to support
the enterprise. But all these at
tempts show that Negroes will in time
have their daily papers in those COM
munities where the number OF Ne
grOes is sufficient to warrant a cir
culation on which a daily paper could
hope to subsist.

COMPLIMENTS HOLIDAY EDITION

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Nashville Globe, set a new record in
Negro journalism in getting out it's
holiday edition Of the 22nd ult. It did
itself proud and reflected credit upon
the entire craft, We may have seen a
better holiday edition, but II so we
do not recall the occasion at this writ
ing. In addition to a full complement
OF news of local and general interest,
1t has an illustrated article on the A.
M. e. Union Of that city, and one on
the National Baptist Publishing Board
and manufacturing plant, the largest
in the world owned and controlled by
Negroes. Another article Of more
than passing interest Is the one on
poultry development among Negroes.
The advertisements reflect the pros
perity of the business enterprises of
the race there, as well as the enter
prise of the publishers. Gentlemen,
here's to you, and may you live long

the plans that are on foot and under
contemplation materiallze, and there
is every eason to believe they win,
Nashville will become the educational
center, so far as the Negro is con-
cerned, of the nation.
Those who are interested in edu-
cation have not selected Nashville for
this undertaking because Of the go.
ographical situation alone. but be-
cuase of the friendliness that exists
and the kindness exhibited on the
part Of the white people toward the
black people. There is a great power
in kindness. We do not believe the
white people Of Nashville realized
themselves just what the ultimate
outcome of their spirit Of tolerance
would be, but 1t was in them by ma
ture born. 1t was the hand Of Provi-
dence working through these people
to the day that now exists when the
people Of a great nation could by a
careful search find one city in that
nation where 1t would be possible for
the educational leaders to found q
great educational center from which
leaders for a young nation could be
trained and sent out to every quarter
that they might go into every com
munity and lay the foundation for
the building of a great nation within
a great nation to work side by side
with the master class for the develop
ment of a great country.
Nashville truly does possess a citi-
zenship with hearts full Of kindness
and at the same time with courage
and a conviction of justice and fair
ness toward all men.

NecrO paiues..

We are pleased to acknowledge re-
ceipt of the Daily Reporter, a paper
published six days In every week in
Jacksonville, Fla, by Negroes. It Is
a treat to find on our desk every
morning a copy Of a paper published
by black people. It shows that the
Negroes of this country are making
great Roadway in collecting and pub
fishing news. We also have informa-
ton that the Daily Spokesman Is
being issued by the Negroes of New
Orleans, La.
The advent of these dailies in the
realm of Negro journalism speaks
volumes for a people who have al
ways taken a deep interest in the
publication of newspapers, but who
have been halnpered in their efforts
from a lack OF finance, and more so
from the lack of knowledge Of the
art of printing and dissemination.
There are hundreds of Negro week
lies, and the majority Of them are
being improved and are a great force
in the development Of the race. Part
of this is due to experience and part
to the energy Of the newspaper
unions that see in the ambition of
the Negro to have newspapers an op.
portunity to reap a harvest. But the
Negro is learning something about
journalism, and as a result we have
several ~irstclass weekly papers pub
lished by black men in this country.
We are not surprised to learn OF
these dailies. For they come as a
natural consequence just as they come
to other races. Less than a hundred
years ago there were few daily pa.
pers in the South. But now every
town of ten thousand or more in
habitants feels hat it must have a
daily paper. So it Is with the col.
ored people. In those cities where
they have a population of twenty
thousand or mor they realize that
it is possible for Negroes to conduct
daily newspapers if the majority Of
the Negro people will support them
But those who have been in the
newspaper business for many years
know that an attempt to publish a
daily paper mean competition will
the daily papers already published
And as a consequence the matter o.
publishing dailies is carefully con
sidered before attempted. We will
not be surprised at any time to reat

the condition of Negro public educa-

200 Negro public schools in the

Why We pie.

WY VIC 6lSs
On last Monday night the Negro
physicians Of this city held a public
meeting at the Pleasant Green Bap.
fist Church on Jefferson street. The
meeting was called for the purpose OF
instructing the people how to guard
against the enormous death rate that
is destroying the Negro citizens Of
Nashville. 1t is to be regretted that
so few of the citizens in that com
munity were present. We do not know
where to place the blame. We are
loath to believe that a community
that Is blessed with such a high aver
age intelligence can possibly be in.
different to their health.
Many things were said by the ply.
sicians that would have been helpful
to all; and when it is remembered
that the physician makes his living
by attending the sick, this effort can
be the more appreciated. Some people.
and not in any sense the minority,
will not send for the doctor until
they are conlned to their bed; but
the physician would much rather
serve people to keep them well than
to be eternally working to raise one
from a sick bed. 1t Is much better
to adopt the "ounce Of preventive
method instead of the pound of
cure" We admit that the doctor
charges as much for a visit when we
are well as he does when we are
sick, but il the doctor can remedy
our trouble by one visit instead of a
half dozen or more we are the
gamers.
1t Is a tremendous task that rests
upon the leaders of the race to check,
IL possible, the death rate. We are
dying too fast, and we have as much
right to live as any other people.
But we cannot live, unless we know
how. There is no more reason, for
Negroes having tuberculosis now
than there was fifty years ago, so
far as physique is concerned, but
there are many cause that bring 1t
on. Some of these causes were men,
toned at the Monday night meeting.
All Of them could not possibly have
been touched upon, but by the con-
slant %hammering away by the doctor,
the preacher and the teacher much
can be accomplished along this line.
Parents, first Of all, must take charge
of their children, and regulate their
habits. We would suggest that one,
and at the outset, not more than two
names be put on the program to talk.
Negroes, as a class, don't like to hear
too many men talk on the same
night. Furthermore, 1t takes too long
for so many men to talk at one meet
ing. We hope these gatherings will
continue. We see the dawn Of a
brighter day for the Negroes of Nash.

Hyde Park Church Extends
Unanimous Call to
Mr.. Alison
HAS NO IDEA NOW
OF ACCEPTING INVITATION

The Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr. pas
tor of West Presbyterian Church to-
day received a pastoral call unani-
mously extended him by the congrega-
tion of Hyde Park Presbyterian
Church, Chicago. This is church
with membership of 1000, and is in
one of the wealthiest and best resi-
dence sections Of Chicago. Three rep
resentatiyes OF the church came to
Wilmington five weeks ago to hear
Mr.. Alison preach, and were SO
pleased with his sermon and tho
splendid work he has done at West
Church. that they impaired their en-
thusiasm to the Hyde Park congrega
ton, who extended this flattering call,
entirely unsolicited ON the part of Mr..
Alison.
Mr.. Alison said this morning that
although the call came unsought by
him. and he has not considered leay-
ing his present position, he would go
to Chicago soon to visit the Hyde
Park church and inquire as to their
purpose in desiring him to take the
charge. He thought it was due the
Hyde Church that he should treat
their invitation with consideration, but
he has not obligated himself in any
way TO accept it.
Mr. Alison is completing his seventh
year at West Church, coming here
from South West Presbyterian Church
! Philadelphia This is his second
charge. He is a graduate of Princeton
class of 80. and Of Hamilton College

/ membership of West Church has
