tho physicians. No sound escaped his
lips.
Yet when not under the influence

his examiners in his usual manner,
BY shrugs and signs, and by pointing

| The colored citizens OF Nashville,

use which Is said to be the first OF Its
kind In the United States. 1t is called
Hadlsy park and was formally aedi'
Gated by the board Of park copmis.
sioners several days ago. Among those
present were Mayor Hillary E. Howse
and Major McWhirter. chairman Of the
board Of park commissioners. DR.. X.
F. Boyd made the speech OF accept
ance on behalf OF the negro citizens.
Benjamin F. Carr presided.
Mayor Howse paid q high tribute
to the park commissioners. and during
his address was interrupted on several
occasions by the applause OF the no
gro citizens.
"Ill declare" he exclaimed. no city
in the country has the coiored popula.
| ton that Nashville has. There Is
great future for us here, and 1t makes
| no difference, in the great struggle
now impending, who ia elected pres1'

will go on building up this section, our
state and the nation. White people
and black people here in the south
will work side by side. We cannot get
| along without you, and you cannot get
along without u.s.
"As chief executive OF the city OF
Nashville, take great pleasure in ex-
tending to you, my colored fellow cit
liens, this park. the only one OF It's
kind in the United States dedicated
to the colored people"
In his address Major MWhirter
said:
Il know Of no city that has shown
greater consideration for your race
in the matter OF parks than ours IN
securing this valuable property. STU
ated as 1t Is. Immediately between and
approximate to two Of the most prom
inent negro schools in our Southland.
Much will depend on your behavior
while visiting the park and with that
as the standard you will be judged. 1t
is not difficult to conduct yourselves
in such way as to command respect
and wish a larger number OF young
negroes were here to hear this-but
1t is quite easy for some to bring de-
rision on thousands, and while doing
this, they have very little considera-
gree Of self-respect."
In his speech Of acceptance DR..
Boyd said In part:
Our gateful thanks go out to Mayor
Howse for the broad and liberal spirit
which he has manifested in co-operat-
ing with you in securing this site for
our park We know something Of the
opposition you have met and over
come. We are thankful to the press
OF the city and the hundreds Of friends
| who have Endorsed the movement.
1--WE who are born and reared in
the Southland know that the best class
OF white citizens are our friends, and
we are going to live here in this
civilization with prayer and hope. We
! were born here, and we will live and
die here.
I'VE want to assure you and reas'
sure you of the gratitude Of my race.
We are interested In every movement
for the betterment of Nashville. fol-
the whole people Of Nashville. You
can rely upon us to make Hadley park
all that 1t should be as moral force
in the life of our people. You may
rest assured that our people will sup
port you in carrying out any regula
tons you may adopt for the manage
ment of this park to the end that
it will be a safe place for our boys
and girls"

THE BEST V AT

The most valuable tele-
phone service is the service
that makes communication
possible with the greatest
number of people. That is
the significance Of the term
universal service. The great
Bell System approaches
very nearly this ideal con-
dition. If you have a Bell
Telephone, you are connect
ed with a system that serves
twenty million people. Isn't
that worth while?
And isn't it some satisfac-
ton to know that the rates
you are paying are only sufl-
cient to cover operating ex-
penses, and pay a fair rate
of interest on the investment?
No bonds on which to pay
