DR.. SEWER MAKES FIRST
CONTRIBUTION FOR FISK
UNIVERSITY.

Early Monday morning DR.. VIM.
Sewer, Professor of Pharmacy at
Meharry Medical College, came into
the Globe Office and made the first
contribution of 81 to the Fisk fund.
DR.. SevieH said that he read the ar
ticle in thu Nashville Globe and was
moved to act at once. This was the
beginning of what is hoped to be a
great awakening on the part OF the
Negroes in Nashville in the interest
Of Fisk University.
The friends of education in the
north are waiting to see first of all
what the Negroes of the south, who
have been aided for fifty years along
educational lines, will do for them
selves. AS was stated in last weeks
issue, the Alumni of Fisk University
are making strenuous efforts to raise
large portion of the 240,000 that is
to be raised before the $60,000 can
be secured from the American Mis-
sionary Association.
This work has been pressed foI
several months, but new activity is
being put forth now in the hope that
a creditable showing may be realized
by the time of commencement. 1t is
hoped by those in charge of the cam
paign that before this year is out the
whole of the $24O,OOO will be raised
DR.. Sewer said that he realized
fully that the Negroes of the south
must take care of their educationa
institutions and that this small con
tribution is not all that he contem
plates giving, but it was merely tt
show that he was interested in the
University.

RAILWAY ASSOCIATION MAKING
IMPROVEMENTS,

The Railway Employees Protective
Association with headquarters at the
corner Of Tenth avenue and Cedar
street, is making extensive improve
ments on their building. The interior
and exterior has been painted and
vanished and a dining-room with
new furniture has been fitted up, and
also the kitchen utensils. The lawn
is set with beautiful flowers together
with the swings and a heavy foliage
of blue grass makes the premises pre-
sent most beautiful appearance.
The touch of the calceminer's brush
is also in evidence, which makes the
headquarters of the Railway Associa
ton the center of attraction in that
community.

CONCERNED
ABOUT LIBRARY
INTERESTED TO KNOW WHERE IT
WILL Be LOCATED
Belief is Given That Suitable Site
viii BE centered Upon Increas-
ing Opinion For a Central Lo-
cation-Memhers of Board
of Trade Opposed to the
Site Mentioned.

Every day the opinion is increasing
that the Library Commission will not
locate the colored branch of the Lii
brary at the corner of Twelfth ave-
nue. and Hynes street. This belief
is gaining ground from the fact there
is not single member On the Com
mission now, who feels that it would
be doing justice to the Negro citl-
izens of this city to place the Library
where it will not be of the greatest
benefit to all the people. This belief
is entertained because there is an ap-
parent settlement in favor of a cen.
trail location. The spirit of fairness
that is always predominant in this
city is no less in this Library case
than it has been in all other cases
that affects the colored people of this
lefty.
The Negroes themselves have man.
Iifested a deep interest In this mat
ter. Information comes from many
personal conversations between en-
iployee and employer, of some colored
man asking his white friends and en-
ployers to use his influence to per-
suade the Commission not to place
the Library in this undesirable To-
cation.
The fact brought out in last weeks
lGlobe OF the number of disreputable
Ehouses between Cedar and Church
streets has set tongues to wagging
afresh, and created a healthy senti-
ment in favor of central location
Many Of the members of the Board
of Trade and several who were or
a special committee to raise $1,O0(
to go toward the purchasing of a site
have expressed themselves as approx
ing the Twelfth avenue and Hyne:
street site. Many have said that they
voted to accept that because they
were afraid that if they did not they
would not get anything; but since
they have learned that the Commits
sion and the leading white people O
Nashville are desirous of doing tn,
very best they can for the coloreC
people in this matter, they realize tha
the Library proposition is not beinl
considered lightly, but is receivin,
serious consideration at the hands o
the best people Of the city.
The prime promoters of the pro
, posed site have been compelled t,
| heed the complaints of the people
and see their folly in endeavoring t,
, throw upon the masses what they d.
+ not want. From every angle tn
outlook is most favorable for chang
in the location and final settlemen
, on spot that will be satisfactory t.
, every Negro in this city.

DE VIELLE LEAVES
FOR NEW ORLEANS

The Baron Andrea De Nielle of the
French Steel corporation, who has been
here several days, Left last night for
New Orleans to look over the street rail-
way properties of that city. He was the
guest last night at dinner of Frank S.
Washburn, president or the Alabama
Power company. At the dinner they dis
cussed many subjects. but it is gathered
that the most interesting was the pur-
chase of electric power from the Alabama
company by the birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company Baron DE
Vielle said last night before leaving that
his house was not deeply interested In
the electric properties here. lie said that
financially he was not interested in the
power company, as that was an English
concern, but that he was delighted to
see the gigantic development going on
here.
The Baron De Nielle will not return
here until the latter part of this month.
He is much pleased with birmingham
and it is certain that his visit will mean
a great deal to the district. He will leave
New York in time to be In Paris for the
Christmas holidays, according to his state
