Two incidents of recent occurrence

per page could be easily cited. Quite
recently the governor of Mississippi
threatened to release every convict in
a county If cruelty to them by their
keepers was not promptly discontinue
ed. Can a wrong be properly righted
By committing another wrong of equal
or greater magnitude? Was the
course he threatened to pursue the
only effective one at his command? If
so, then. when the power of pardoning
convicts may be taken from the gov
ernor, the power to peremptorily dis
charge the keepers of convicts for
wanton cruelty to their helpless
charges, should be conferred upon him.
OF still more recent date the COVER
nor of Oklahoma was compelled to de-
cline an invitation to attend the confer.
ence of governors to be held at Colo
RADIO Springs for the very valid reason
that the lieutenant governor seems de-
termined to make, wholesale delivery
of criminals from the penitentiary.
Mississippi may readily enter into
the disquieting reflections of the I'M
happy Oklahoma governor and as
readily perceive the propriety of the
writer's plea for statutory enactment
that will preclude the possibility of ir-
responsible exercise of executive elem
ency after the next session of our

READY For The HOLIDAYS.

September's advent brings to prom
irence before the citizens of Nash
vile the fact that one of the local
companies has already made ample
preparations to take care of the
holiday trade. The National Negro
Doll Company announced this week
that their full line of new dolls for
the season of 1884 would be ready
and on display for the benefit of the
delegates of the National Baptist
Convention while that body Of reli-
gious workers is in session next
week. The invitation extended tC
these delegates by this local concern
is also intended for the citizens Of
Nashville that they too might take
this opportunity to inspect the dolls
that have already revolutionized the
sentiment of Negro dolls for Negro
children. 1t will be recalled that il
was the National Baptist Convention
in session at Lexington, KY, in 1908
that was the first national body t.
indorse the idea of Negro dolls
Hence their coming to this city find
that this concern has grown out o.
a resolution into a reality, handlins
dolls and shipping them throughout
the United States.

BEAUTY AND BEAST AT FAIR

IlusieRal entertainment in the the
aters invariably attract heavy patronage
and it is little wonder that Manager
Con T. Kennedy has arranged for the
edificatiOn of the thousands who will
attend the Tennessee State Fair, Septem'
Der % to October 4, an entertainment
known as "The Beauty and The Beast
ideas for which Manager Kennedy picked
up during his sojourn in India last win
ter, while securing the world for unique
advertisements. 1t is rather difficult to
describe "The Beauty and The Beast"
performance. To sum it up in few
words, illusional effects are brought to
bear which to the layman seem well nigh
miraculous In a great big iron-bound
den huge Nubian lion appears and
seemingly from nowhere emerges a beau
tiful lady. Princess Karnac. The spec
tator is thrilled. For the nonce it would
appear that the lady is in great danger
of being attacked by the King of the
Forest. When, lo both lion and lady
disappear as if by magic. "The Beauty
and The Beast" is big feature of the
Kennedy Midway. All the lore of the
Mag of the Far East has been brought
to bear in molding together a kaleido
scopic performance such as cannot be
seen with any other travelling amuse
ment organization in the world.

THE ONE BIG UNCONVENTIONAL
HIT


While the National Baptist Con-
vention is in session in this city dur
ing the week Of the 18th, it Is expect
ed that the one big hit of the Con-
vention will be the opportunity Of
fered the delegates to see their own
publishing plant.
Not since 1899, when the National
Baptist Publishing House was
mere infant, has the opportunity pre-
sented itself when all of the Bap-
lists throughout the country who
cared to would be permitted to in.
spect the plant. The Secretary Of
the Publishing Board and every Of
fetal of the plant with the entire
force of employees engaged there have
sent out broadcast an invitation for
the members of their denomination
while in the city to come and inspect
every department of the work, and
from the extensive preparations be-
ing made around the Baptist publish
ing plant it would indicate they are
really expecting to entertain com.
pany. Each of the seven buildings
has put on its Sunday clothes. The
building at the corner OF Second ave
nue., North, and Locust street looks
like brand new dollar. Then, too,
the management of the publishing
house has arranged to give more Of
flee space in order that the crowd of
visitors who will be in the city will
be able to inspect the plant with
more precision and to get a greater
volume of information so that when
they return to their respective homes
they will go back loyal supporters of
worthy institution.
Just what special entertainment
DR.. Boyd and his publishing house
followers will make for the Conven.
tion has not been announced. In
fact, DR.. Boyd stated to Globe re-
porter that no special provision on
the program had as yet been made,
but they were expected to entertain
the entire Convention some morning
before the general session opened. He
stated: eve believe in prayer. We
have our regular prayer service every
morning. If we can get the National
Baptist Convention to come down
here one morning and join us In
prayer, we will be, we believe, bet
ter prepared to go through the win
ter season, and that the Lord viii
give us, because of these prayers
continued success"

FAIR TO SHOW SAMAR TWINS

The Con T. Kennedy Shows, which
will provide the big amusement features
at the Tennessee State Fair, September
30 to October 4, enjoys the distinction
of presenting one of the most remark
able educational attractions ever brought
out by n travelling amusement organiza
lion. The Samar Twins, wards of the
United States Government, born on the
Island Of Sanar, in the Philippines, have
attracted international attention. These
children, born together, similar to the
Siamese Twins, were the big feature in
Chicago with the Ringing Bros Worlds
Greatest Shows at the Coliseum last
spring. Manager Kennedy, appreciating
the value Of this really extraordinary at
traetisn, secured the Samar Twins for
the Con z. Kennedy Shows Eminent
medical nen in various parts of the
world have examined the Samar Twins
with the hope that it might be possible
by meaRs Of an operation to separate
these PiiPiRo boys. Surgeons in Paris,
Londsn, Berlin, st. Petersburg, New
York and Chicago have given the matter
attention, but it would appear that the
Samar Twins are destined to live and die
together. There is nothing repuls've
about this feature of the Kennedy
Shows. The Samar Twins are like other
children, full of life and vivacity, intelli.
gent and favored with a genial DISPOSE
ton, They are known as Nature
Greatest Nistake."
