The New Library.

The Negroes of Nashville have cause
to rejoice in the fact that in the near
future they will have a Library the
equal of any in the South. 1t has
been said on many occasions by the
Globe that such a hope would become
reality some day, and since it is so
near at hand we feel elated over the
rapidly with which the same has
been brought to pass.
Much credit is due to Mayor Howse,
Miss Johnson and Mr.. Baskette for
this Library; and also it must not be
forgotten that Mr.. B. J. Carr, that
tireless advocate of the cause Of his
people, had hand in bringing to
pass this achievement.
The question now is the matter OF
location, and it seems to be the con.
census of opinion that it will be to the
best interest of the people TO locate
the library in the central part Of the
city We do not believe there viii be
any opposition from any quarter to
such location, as Library is for all
of the people and can serve them
best if located centrally, where il car
be reached by all at the least expense
That Nashville is the greatest city
in this country is being evidenced OF
every hand, and the people OF hi
country are being made TO recoguiz'
this fact.

Titanic Wreck.

The wreck of the steamship Titanic
is appalling. It is not yet known 10
the world just how horrifying the
scene was, and it viii not be known
until the ships bearing the survivors
reach land, and then the world viii
be told of this sad story. Ships have
fioundered at other times. but from
all accounts, this seems TO be the
greatest disaster that has ever hap
pened to a modern ship; more lives
were lost and more property was de-
stroyed.
The Titanic was making her maid
en- trip and was the embodiment Of
the greatest genius of ship construc-
ton, being the largest afoat, and sup
posed to be almost indestructible. The
passengers on this vessel felt secure.
1t is presumed that many of them had
waited to take passage on this, the
Queen ship of the Ocean. Doubtless
they were revelling in the highest
when this accident occurred, and en-
tertained no thought whatever that
in few hours hundreds of them
would be dashed into eternity.
Man has been endowed with won
derful knowledge. but sometimes he
becomes defiant and dares to do those
things that he has been warned against.
He allows his crave for fame to out
balance his judgment, and then it is
that he stumbles and often great is
