appropriateness Of this kind of mu.
sic was decided upon as being very
fitting to blend with the Fifty
Years Of Freedom or Religious Jubi-
lee" that will be held in connection
with the Convention. None of this
music will be descredited nor will
there be any reflection cast upon
the originators of what has often
been said to be the only real Amer
lean music of today, now in exis-
tence.
For the first time in fifty
years or since Abraham Lincoln
signed the Emancipation Proclama-
tion the most elaborate lot of these
songs will be rendered Some Of
them have not been sung since the
days of slavery. The National
chorister is already busy at work
selecting such music from the Jubi-
lee and plantation melodies as can
easily be mastered by the chorus as
well as by the Convention proper.
All of the songs as being selected
with view of encouraging denomi-
national singing during the week Of
the Jubilee.

HIGHER SCHOOLS FOR THE NE.
GROES

Washington, August 1.-The United
States Bureau of Education, in CO.
operation with the trustees of the
Phelps-Stokes fund, to-day announced
that 1t Is making a study of private
and higher schools for Negroes. A
report OF the equipment of the differ
ent schools, their work and their
place in the educational system with
which they are connected VIII be
published later.
The Phelps-Stokes fund is the re-
slduary estate, amounting to about
one million dollars, bequeathed by
Miss Caroline Phelps-Stokes of New
York for various philanthropic pur-
poses, among which is the education
Of Negroes. Gifts have been made to
the University of Virginia, University
of Georgia, and to the Peabody Col
lege in Nashville, Tenn, for the main.
tenance of fellowships and research
work in the field of Negro education.
A number of smaller sums also have
been given for related purposes.
The above is according to the AS
ISOLATED Press news service The
gifts referred to are pupzling Negroes
of this city, Especially so as regards
the gift to Peabody College since
none of the funds going to that col
lege benefits Negroes There is no
provision made for Negro education,
or if it is intended, the Negroes are
not getting the benefit of it. Negroes
contend that the gifts would do them
more good if give nto institutions for
them instead of to white schools for
research. 1t is argued that so much
research and no real educational
work is not helping the Negro mate
rally.

The Martin Mob.

The 2ntics Of the mob at Martin,
Tenn, are of the sort that make Ne
groes wonder if white men are really
brave. Think Of it; several days az
ter murder has been committed a
gang of self-appointed deputy sheriffs
go prowling through the most cul-
tured section Of the colored citizens
of the town, searching for the muir
derer; and to cap the climax they
demand that a merchant open his
refrigerator that they may see if the
murderer is hiding in there The
truth Of the whole thing is they do
not believe a Negro committed the
deed. but there is not enough courage
in the whole crowd to compel then
TO tell the truth. It Is trying to have
to undergo such intimidations, bu
the Negroes Of Martin are iDturinl
Il brvely, which after all is tn,
strongest trait of true manhood.

MOB CONTINUES SEARCH IN
MARTIN

Globe Representative Alights in
midst of mobly crowd-Met the train
looking for suspects-colored people
greatly excited-Humiliated beyond
endurance-Houses searched night
and day-Different views from that
Of authorities.
Special to the Globe.
Martin, Tenn, Aug. 3.-As special
Globe representative alighted here on
the Dixie Flyer from Nashville that

self in the midst of a mob.
It was learned that this crowd has
met every train that has run into
Martin since the murder of night
Waterman here. 1t seems that this
night Waterman had had some trou.
bic with former employe of the rail-
road whom he had arrested and who
threatened to take his life as soon
as he was released.
On the night of the killing a friend
is said to have picked up the wound
ed man and held him up while he
fired at his assailant. The question
that puzzles the people is why the
friend did not shoot the assailant him.
self.
Several Negroes have been arrest
ed, but in each case have been able
to prove that they had nothing to do
with the killing. 1t is the general
belief among the Negroes in other
towns that white man is the guilty
party. No expression was made by
any Negroes in Martin on the case,
as it seems to be the opinion that IL
was advisable to say nothing, but if
could be seen that they are a humili-
ated people.
On Tuesday morning homes are be-
ing searched in all the colored Sec
lions of the town, aUd in one case
the self-appointed deputies demand
ed that a man open his refrigerator
that they might see if the guilty party
was hiding therein. Such tactics as
these have made the affairs into a per-
secution rather than bring the guilty
party to justice. 1t appears that the
aim of the officers and those deputized
is to humiliate the colored people
rather than seek out the one who COM
mitted the murder.
Another strange feature is that the
authorities did not bring in blood
hounds to apprehend or attempt to
run down the murderer It is known
that these dogs are considered very
reliable by southern white people but
as grave as this case is these valuable
aids in such cases have not been
used.
Up TO the last report the guilty
rarity had not been apprehended, or
if it has been kept under the cover
and irresponsible persons are ON
tinuing in their effort to lay the blame
on some Negro.

to the contrary.
1t is true that he is not an editor
or publisher, but he is a newspaper
man, and one of the best in the
country. His usefulness ought to
be his recommendation. He is a
pioneer in the effort to build up
news agency for the distribution of
Negro intelligence from the capital
and elsewhere-a very much-needed
thing, in view of the poor interest
manifested for the race by the con-
Germs operated by white men.-Edi-
