FIRST BAPTIST

The harvest is past, the summer
of 1918 is ended, and there are
scores of people in our town who
are not saved. What are we going
to do about it? May we not each
one of US now assume our response
bility in the Lords work and be
found in our places at each service.
1t is so important that we all do
our best. 1t is so easy not to do it.
Only twice in six months did our
Sunday School attendance run above
the one hundred mark. We ought
to have one hundred and twenty
five there next Sunday morning.
Our B. Y. P. U. went on a vacs-
ton during July and August, but
we hope to have a meeting next
Sunday evening. We ought to have
at least fifty of our young people at
this service. We want to lay out
plans for the winters work.
Sunday School meets at 9:45 a.
m. and the preaching service in the
morning is at II o'clock.
The B. Y. P. u. will meet at GAS
and the preaching service will be at
7:45 p. m. We give you a cordial
invitation to worship with us.

Many farmers who have good

it their seed corn for next year. This
appears to be the wise thing to do.
The man with the silo saves all
his feed and makes it do the most

out a silo.

Making Progress.


Work on the water works and
sewerage system is progressing
nicely. About 3100 feet of sewer
has been put in and they are NOV
ing along nicely. At the dam not
much has been accomplished on ac-
count of not having an engine large
enough but a lager engine will soou
be at work. The water mains have
been laid from the reservoir to Main
street in front of Democrat Office
and they are averaging about 800
feet per day. Tuesday they made
1900 feet. Part of the time they
have not been working on account
of material not being on the ground.
The septic tank will be ready for
the concrete the last of the week
and will probably be finished next
week, Aud the good work goes on.

The Napier Banquet.

Pure motives actuated the citizens
Of Nashville in honoring ex-register
e the treasury, ]. c. Napier, upon his
return to the city. We have never
Witnessed a more genuine reception,
nor has Nashville been more liberal in
IGNORING one of her citizens, than
the one rendered to Mr.. Napier since
his return. 1t only goes to show
that our people have passed the
stage of httleness and narrow
ness when it comes to giving
lust honor and recognition to
men or women who demonstrate
their loyalty to the race Following
close upon the heels of the big ova-
ton given Mr.. Napier at the station
the morning he arrived, a banquet
was rendered him at which practical
ly every interest in the city was
represented. AS proof Of the real honor
bestowed upon the ex-register of
the treasury, it was done without
any hope of reward as it was given
to a man who was returning to pri-
vate life, hence it was an honor just
ly deserved and cheerfully be-
slowed.

Sane People.


By any kind of hypothesis 1t can
be shown that the people of most Of
the large cities, and especially the
controlling business men in particu.
lar comm0awealths, are sane people.
They know a business proposition
the very instant it is unfolded or
stated. Therefore, we take the
position that the people Of Nashville
are not exceptions to the rule and
that those in authority or who munip.
ulate or have charge of the affairs of
the city, whether they be religious,
political, educational or financial, will
agree with these facts.
We make this statement because
the recent session of the great
National Baptist Convention has Just
passed into history. 1t was held in
this city and with its coming here
was brought to Nashville thousands
and thousands of dollars, from which
every business concern in the city
profted either directly or indirectly.
We cannot, therefore, understand
the lethargy that was apparent on
the part of some of the business men
in their failure to cooperate with a
part of the citizens in giving to this
great body the reception justly due
it. We do not, however, wish to be
misunderstood.
There we're firms in the city, bust
ness men of course, who have al
ways contributed literally to any
worthy cause. Eut the failure of
the others to do so must, we are sure,
be charged up to their lack Of knowl-
edge OF the importance from a bust
ness point of view of these great
state and national gatherings Let
US make some calculations to see
just whether Nashville was benefited
from a commercial point of view, to
say nothing of the religious and
educational benefits received from
the great gathering. 1t is conserva-
lively estimated by railroad officials
and members Of the National Bap-
list ConVeation that from Septem-
Der 18th 10 September 22nd there
we're ten thousand visitors in Nash
vile, brought here by the attractions
and the sessions Of that religious
body. These people were compelled
to ray BY their own voluntary rules
$500 per day for board. This was
ten thousand dollars per day that
went into the homes Of the citizens
81 Nashville, who in turn spent it
with some groceryman, butcher,
milk man ana the like for table com
forts. Every one of these, or the
greater portion of them, was CO n

chaRdise; they had Incidental ex-
penses; they went sightseeing; they
spent their money freely; hence a
minimum expense per capita would
be s3.se per day, or $4,000, 100000
per day left in Nashville for five
day. In ether words, $3.50. 100000
were left to be divided among the
several and various business indus
tries of Nashville This does not
inclrde the railroad fares.
So 1t seems to US that any sane peo-
pie. regardless Of the race to which
they belong. should welcome such err
CARNATIONS aad such meetings to any
community or city. If some people
In Nashville would look at 1t in this
way, Nashville could and would be
one of the greatest convention cen
tiers in the United States. A great
cOVersien to this idea was made in
the National Baptist Convention
meeting in this city. We have been
informed that quite a number of the
largest business enterprises in the
city were surprised at the intelli-
gence displayed, the amount of
means handled and in fact the in
crease in business shown by such a
large gathering of people coming to
the city, and that they have said had
they known before what they know
new they wSuld have acted different
".
We take this opportunity to in
form some Of our men that the Ne
gro, regardless of his religious incli-
nations, is not only sane along this
line, but that he has already begun |
to look at things just as we have
stated them and that their conven-
ions, associations, grand lodges, ETC.,
are being carried to cities and COM
where 1t is shown that their
coming is appreciated by the people
Who are more generally benefited

Uses of Property.

"This organization should also
teach our people how to care for
property, how to use property. In
many parts of the country people
hesitate to rent property to colored
tenants, for the reason that they
feel that when q colored family
takes possession Of piece of prop.
erty that it will decrease in value
instead Of increase in value. Many
property owners hesitate to rent
property 20 colored people for the
reason that they feel when the col
ored family enters the house that the
window glass will begin to disappear,
door knobs viii begin to disappear,
that the plastering will disappear,
that the gate will soon be off the
hinge, an dthe palings off the yard
fence. We must teach our people
everywhere that when we get pos
session of property, either as owners
or renters, that we must improve its
appearance, rather than let it fall in
decay. All this may appear trivial,
but it fleets our race in very funda-
mental manner.
"All through the South the infiu-
ence Of this organization should be
felt in teaching our people the dig
nifty of labor, in teaching young men
and women that after they have got
education there is no disgrace in
working in a field, in a shop, in a
kitchen, that the only disgrace con-
sists in idleness and in not earning
their living.
at is of the greatest Importance
that our people be taught how to
take care of their bodies, how to
have strong, healthy, vigorous
bodies. Our race and the entire
South loses a great amount of money
every year because of the sickness
of individuals. Sickness in a very
large measure results from ignor-
ance, which ~ means filth, which
means carelessness in the care Of
the body.
