come and obstacles confront them,
that all nations have had to endure
the same.
The Negro in America cannot hope to
make progress and to establish him
self as a factor in the nation unless
he is willing to acknowledge all OF
the p~rivations that his foreparents Z
dured, and to give the glory to his
maker that his condition is such to-
day that he can at least feel that he
is a citizen of a free country.
The Negroes of Tennessee have
played well their part in the great
drama of educating and training Ne
groes Of this nation. The splendid
educational institutions located In
Nashville can point to all parts of the
world and say: THAT star is the
product Of our labors." And as a
publishing center Nashville leads the
black people Of the world. Dotted
here and there from the east to the
west of the state are to be found
farmers, manufacturers and business
men whs take their places side by
side with other Negroes and form
that great army of men and women
who are contributing their part to the
uplift of this great people.
In view of these facts, Tennessee
Negroes should not be behind the Ne
groes Of other states in celebrating,
in an appropriate way, this memcra-
BILE occasion. 1t should be gone
about in a proper way. No city or
section of the state should feel that
the right to do this belongs to them;
but a movement should be started
with the intention of creating an IN
terest that would make the people of
this great state work with one ac-
cord, and thereby cause the Negroes
of Tennessee to fully review the
progress they have so nobly made in
these fifty years of freedom.

these evils. The Sunday-school
teachers and superintendent, The
teachers in the public schools are
censured for not training young peo-
pie in the right method Of living. But
all the preachers and all the teachers
cannot rear the children of the peo-
pie. This duty devolves upon the pa
rents. They alone can be equal to
the emergency. Too many parents
allow their children to run at will.
Many Of them are living upright
lives themselves. They are church
members, honest, Woodworking peo-
pie, and they desire that their chill
dren follow in their footsteps; but
they get too busy to look after them.
The great desire to make money and
in the struggle to buy a little home
and accumulate a few dollars for a
rainy day they overlook the great
Importance Of properly training the
children for whom they r toiling.
The greatest asset of any home is
the child; and they will become
valuable in proportion to the pains
parents take to properly train them.
Many parents spend night after night
at the church and the lodge, but for
get that after all it is all for the
benefit of the children, but the time
spent in the lodge and the church is
i'll spent when the children are neg
lected.
Parents in Nashville, and every
where for that matter, must awaken
10 the fact that they owe their first
duty to the home. We do not mean
to impress anyone that they should
not give sufficient time to the church
and to all institutions that are for
the uplift of the community, but we
would have it clearly understood that
these institutions cannot survive In
less the offsprings of those conduct
ing them are trained to lead to be
worthy of leadership in these institu-
tions. 1t is not sufficient to say that
the child is educated and ought to
know right from wrong. They do
know right from wrong; but may
choose to do wrong. Young people
are more given to yielding to temp
tations than old people for the sim
pie eason that the cares of life have
not yet evolved upon them, and
with the best training and careful at
tention some children will go wrong
after all; but if parents will give the
proper attention to their children
and will make themselves their COM
panions, in most cases they will emu
late them.
Aside from those who desire that
their children make good citizens,
there is a great host of people who
are mothers and fathers of children,
but who have no are for their fu-
ture. In fact, they have no care for
themselves. They never give the fu-
ture a thought. 1t is simply a matter
of living today. Their children come
in contact with the children of those
parents who desire that their off,
springs be citizens of the highest
character, therefore the upright men
and women have a double battle to
fight. They must train their chill
dren to take care of themselves and
to take care Of other children who
are neglected by their parents. The
situation in Nashville is alarming,
and unless the parents awaken to the
full sense Of their duty, the day is
not far distant when the Negro citi.
zenship in this city will drop to a
low depth.

VICE

Andy Lee Thurman and Marion
Goodwin, two colored youths who
live several miles north of the city on
the hard road, decided Saturday night
that riding a wheel home instead of
walking would be quite a luxury, so
each appropriated one.
They stole the bicycles belonging
to Mr.. ]. c.. Caldwell, superintendent
of the light plant, and Mr.. T. A.
Jones, agent for the Standard Oil
Company, and were riding leisurely
along toward home when captured.
They admitted borrowing the
wheels, and were placed in Jail un-
til Monday morning, when they were
taken before Justice Lyles, charged
with petty larceny.
After hearing their stories Justice
Lyles sentenced them to pay a fine of
$50 each or work on the hard roads
for sixty days They 'chose" the lat
ter alternative, and will begin their
sentence this morning.

Mr.. HERBERT L. Foee DROWNED

Mr.. Herbert L. Fogg, better known
to his Ocala friends as Bert" was
drowned at Silver Springs Monday
afternoon.
Mr.. Fogg, in company with Mr.. Por-
ter Hull. was enjoying a swim in the
deep waters at the head of the
springs, and they were on their re-
turn trip from across the stream,
when it is supposed that Mr.. Fogg
was stricken with cramps, and sank
to the bottom without any warning,
never coming up again. He was a
splendid swimmer, and that he was
stricken with cramps is the only rea-
sonable version of the manner In
which he came to his sudden death.
Doctors Peek and Counts of this
city were summoned to the springs
by phone, and later DR.. H. c. Dozier,
cousin of the deceased, who had just
arrived in the city, also went down,
but life was extinct when they ar
rived. The body was recovered with
in five minutes from the time it sank,
but every effort at resuscitation was
unsuccessful.
Mr.. Fogg is survived by widowed
mother, living on South Watula
street, who has the sympathy of all
in her sad bereavement.
Mr. Fogg for some years had been
employed in the freight depot of the
Atlantic Coast Line in this city as
checking clerk and telegraph oper-
ator
