ROGER WILLIAMS CAMPAIGN

The campaign and rally launched
for Roger Williams University last
June by DR.. w. H. Moses, d. D., of
Knoxville, Tenn, is proving itself
from day to day by the splendid re-
turns coming in from time to time.
Last Saturday the assistant, Prof. A.
M. Jackson, the leader Of the cam
paigned, canvassed n Of the liberal
contributors, whose lame is not men,
toned by request, and without a mo-
ment's hesitation the said contributor

Immediately placed to the credit of
the institution with one of its down
town creditors. This is one test for
the pledge system which was inaugu-
rated last June, when Nashville was
stirred from center to circumference
by denominational pride and came to
the call Of Rev. w. H. Moses, and
now it is coming in from time to
time, the results of which will
have telling effect for all times to
come inasmuch as its grow is sub
stantial and genuine. Prof. A. M.
Jackson, of Roger Williams, is push
ing up the fires, and with the CO.
operation of the Baptist ministers,
who are the real ministers, both in
word and spirit-who are the real

CLEANUP DAY AT THE STATE

citation to our many friends and pa

operation on Friday. Especially do
we make mention of Mr.. Carr and
Mr.. Smith, who donated the service
Of their teams.
The success of the undertaking
was mainly due to the skillful plan
ming of the committee, directed by
Prof. Meeks and Prof, Caruthers,
who had the work in hand. At 9 a. m.
the war against weeds, stones and
rubbish began. The vast battle line
of more than $50 students and friends,
each carrying a war implement, Of
la rake, hoe, scythe, spade, ak, pick
or a wheelbarrow, marched in full
array to the battlefield, where each
class took charge of the section that
had been staked off for it. At the
ringing Of the bell all hands went to
work with great zeal. 1870 p. m.

MEHARRY FIELD DAY AT GREEN
WOOD.

The annual Field Day of Meharry
Medical College, having for its object
the raising Of funds for the benefit of
the George w. Hubbard Hospital,
came off at Greenwood Park on Sat-
urday, the 5th inst, and resulted in
abundant success.
The interest which is c%ustomarily
shown in public functions connected
with this institution was manifested
on this occasion, so that not only the
students of Meharry were present,
but those of Walden and Fisk Uni
versities, and a considerable number
of the colored citizens Of Nashville.
The arrangements by the ladies
and gentlemen Of the hospital associ-
alton were faultless, and reflected
much credit for the foresight mani
tested. Refreshments of a very va
ried character were at hand and
eagerly sought out by the pleasure
seekers, who wended their way either
to grandma's kitchen, where Misses
Moore, Lloyd and Jackson and Mrs.
Holman oficiated, or to the delicates-
sen apartments Of Mrs. Bandy, Mrs.
Stewart, Mrs. Hale and other ladies.
The amusements of the day were
also varied and exciting, and con-
sisted of the zone hundred yard
DASH" running high jump" "acro-
batic feats," "a football skirmish" be-
tween the sophmore and junior class
es and a. "baby show" Many found
enjoyment at the merry-go-round, and
I when the hours of darkness came, the
crowd was seen to wend its way to
the playhouse Of the park, where all
were thrown into ecstatic mirth by
the magical performances Of Mr..
Armstrong.
The total realization on the occa-
sion amounted to more than $500. The
hospital association desires, through
this medium, to render thanks to the
Rev. Preston Taylor, through whose
unbounded generosity the park was
placed at their disposal.
At eleven o'clock on Sunday morn
ing an address will be delivered at
Meharry Auditorium by DR.. I. Gar
land Penn, Secretary Of the Freed
mans Aid Society.
Bishop Henderson, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, will deliver an ad-
dress at Meharry Auditorium on
Monday afternoon, the 14th inst.

MOUND BAYOU OIL MILL OPEN.
ING MONDAY. NOVEMBER Is.

Mound Bayou. Miss, Oct. 12.-Dr.
Booker 7. Washington will blow the
whistle and set the Mound Bayou Oil
Mill in operation on Monday, Novem-
Der 20. On October 10th, 1908. on the
spot where the large two-story brick
structure stands, DR.. Washington
spoke in its interest. Following out
The plans that were made about that
time, every effort has been made,
every energy has been exented to
raise the $1O0,OO0.O0 which is the au-
thorized capital of the Mill.
After four years of unremitting toll
and many nerve racking experiences
in raising finance necessary for the
construction Of this mammoth plant,
it stands upon the threshold.
There remains abou. SIS 100000 to
be raised. With the wheels turning
and the oil flowing, the confidence of
the stalwarts who put money and
brain and Drawn into this mill (the
Negroes gateway to tho larger fnan-
cial world will be proved.
Won't you come up to the opening?
Won't you bring along a man who is
alive to a irst-class investment; one
who wants quick returns for his
money? In failing to bring another,
won't you see the wisdom of buying
a larger block of shares than you
have? This for two reasons-frst,
because you have but a small amount
invested in proportion to your ability
to take. Secondly, because no invest
mem5 that you or your friends have
made has the reasonable hope Of sue
cess as the one in the mill. Don't
forget the day, November the 25th.
Yours truly,

POULTRY NOTES.

Since the close of the State Fair
quite a deal of interest is being taken
by the Negroes of the state in the
poultry industry. The credit for this
belongs to the Tennessee State Col.
ored Poultry Association. The reg.
ular monthly meeting of the associa.
ton was held last Friday evening.
The members were we'll pleased with
the showing the association made in
the first annual exhibition. Plans for
the next exhibition we're discussed at
length. Every effort will be put forh
to make it a grand one, with a much
greater variety of poultry, and rep
resenting the different sections of the
state. Several new members were
added.
AT the next monthly meeting DR.. J.
P. Crawford will open the subject for
discussion with a paper on Chicken
PoX, and How to Handle It."
1t is predicted that fresh eggs in
Nashville will bring not less than
sixty cents per dozen this winter.
Get a few good hens of the standard
variety, and they will pay you.
The Landers Poultry Farm made a
shipment of some very nice birds to
Arkansas this week.
The beginner should start with
utility stock, and gradually get into
the fancy end, if this is his aim.
There r those who begin with
scrubs, intending to keep pure breds
later on, but they seldom do.
Join the Tennessee State Colored
Poultry Association. 1t will help you
if you are interested in the raising of
chickens or any class of poultry.
