NATIO NAL NEGRO PR s s
ISOLATION
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1918.
Our National Evils.

Amid the multiplicity Of evils that
afflict this nation, as regards her
Negro citizenship, there are two that
stand at the head of the list, namely,
women and work If these two things
can be properly adjusted our race DIFF
ferences will pale into insignificance
If the white men of the nation will
let the Negro women alone and give
the black men a square deal in the
struggle for bread, all will be well,
But these two things it seems impos-
sible for him to do. Negro women
are held up TO the world as immoral,
but the fact is ignored that white men
OF means and high station in life are
constantly bounding them. The bold
ness of these fiends is often outrage
Gus. They make no pretense to hide
their hellishness. This practice on
the part Of so many white men causes
the ignorant Negroes to believe that
there is a great virtue in the mixture
Of races, whether lawfully or unlaw-
fully, he believes it is right, and is
sieged with a desire to carry out what
white men teach by this practice.
The work evil is clothed in equally
as many DISCUSSES. The laboring
class of white people Systematically
bar the Negro from most of the lu-
crative employments, not because he
feels that he is degraded by working
beside a black man, but because he
has learned that by playing on the
racial cord he can cover up his sys-
tenn Of discrimination, and so the
practice has been and Is being car.
ried on to great dctriment of not only
the black man, but the white man as
we'll and the country as a whole
White men should have the racial
respect to compel them to let black
women alone after dark as well as in
the daylight White men should &C
cord black equal opportunities to earn
an honest living.

PRESIDENT WILLIAMS BAN
OUETED BY BENEVOLENTS.

Monday night at the hall of Bene'
VIOLENT Order No. 81, Mr.. w. w. Will
liams was given banquet by the
members of the Order Before becom-
ing Grand President of the State, Mr..
Williams was for a number of years
president of No. 81, and in view of
this fact and in recognition of the
splendid service rendered, the lodge
felt it proper TO give him this ban
quet as an expression of their appre-
citation of that service.
President VIM. Copeland acted as
master of ceremonies. In his opening
remarks he expressed the purpose OF
the meeting in few well-chosen
words, and then appointed two ladies
to escort the Grand President to the
rostrum, which they did in a very
graceful manner.
The first speaker was Rev. w. ]
Bogus, who told of the good that the

troduced. She made appropriate re-
marks. Mr. S. S. Brien, president of
one of the Oldest orders in the state,
and Mr.. ]. Sawyers, president Of one
of the youngest orders in the state,
were introduced, but said they were
not speakers but workers, and pre-
ferred to listen to others Mr. D. w.
Berry was the next speaker. He said
that if he had not as yet developed
into speaker, but he hoped to be
some day, and that when he did at
tempt to make a speech he would en-
deavor to have something to tell the
people. Rev. Preston Taylor said he
was not hungry nor sleepy as some
others had said they were and would
make a long speech to keep them
from eating and sleeping and he did,
but every moment OF the time he was
saying something worth while. He
counselled the people again against
extravaganza and to be industrious
and economical, He urged them to
stop buying on the installment plan
but to pay cash for everything they
get. Mr.. W. d. Hawkins was intro
duced and made a few remarks. He
invited the people to come to his
bank and to go to the other banks
and put their money there for the
rainy day. Grand President Williams
was then introduced. He received 9
rousing cheer when he arose to speak
He said he did not know how to eX
press his appreciation for the honor
that had been shown him, but hi
would promise to do his whole duty
as the servant of the people. He
thanked all for the kind expressions
toward him, and said he felt that he
the least deserved them of any ont
present.
Refreshments were then served t
all present and the meeting adjourned

INTEREST GROWING IN CAM

very encouraging reports have been
made this week on the outlook of the
successful campaign for funds for the
erection of a 100000 Y. NJ. c. A.
building. These remarks have not
been confined to the idle passer-by.
They have come from sober, far
thinking, successful men in all walks
of life. In the face Of these develop
ments, Executive Secretary Sanders
and Chairman Caruthers, together
with the entire Committee of Man
agement, feel that the action taken
by the committee at its recent SEES
son is not far-fetched, but that it is
striking in time and that the results
will bring to Nashville real success,

REGULAR PUBLISHING BOARD
MEETING.

Work has already begun and the
speedy installation of mammoth
automatic sprinkling system at the
National Baptist Publishing Board,
which was announced some time ago,
was reported as being really in pro-
gress by Secretary Eoyd at the Board
Meeting held last Tuesday in the
rooms Of the Publishing Board at
which full attendance was present
and where much work was gone over
for the interest of the Board. With
his new improvement the Baptist
Publishing House will not only be a
well equipped plant as it is, but one
almost entirely protected from fire,
reducing the risk to minimum.
The fire sprinkling system, declared
nr Boyd is one of the latest improv-
ments in the protection of large man
nfncturing plants. This one will
be SO constructed as to have an i'm
me0se water suspended from the
highest part of the highest building,
from which the pipes will radiate
Gown and will come up through each

sihlo for the buildings to be entire
" DESTROYED by fire in case a fire
should break out in them. Con-
nected with the sprin1ling system,
there will be an automatic fire alarm
SO in case a fire would break out a
water head would soon burst and the
running water would turn a fire
alarm a. the cetral fire station. The
improvement is to cost quite few
thousand dollars, but in the end will
compensate the Publishing Board in
The reduction Of insurance within the
next five or six years.
Among the other items considered
was the secretary's monthly report
WhfaN showed a business clearance
of $34,000.00 for the month, with a
splendid outlook for an unprecedented
years work, beginning with the first
quarter in January. Missionary
matters that came up to the Board
from the Little Rock Office Of the
Home Missionary Board were re-
ferred to the Missionary Committee.
Expressions on the general satisfac-
tory outlook were made by Revs.
Fields, Slaughter, Taylor and Filing
ton. The report of the death of two
missionaries in South Carolina with
in the past two months was the sub
iect of sorrowful consideration. Rev.
E. V. Gassaway is the last OF tine two
to pass out, notice having been sent
by the wife of the deceased. The
Sunday-school Congress matter,
which was to have come up at this
Board meeting, was passed until the
second Tuesday in December by spe-
cial request. At this time it is de-
cided when and where the Congress
will meet.

Team visited Meigs School last Thurs
day and gave that team a thrashing,
This was the first real game played
in the Nashville schools. The game
was one of great interest. Meigs
team was outclassed in weight, but
they played well. Center and guards
did their work well as did the base
men. Much depends upon the skill of
the baseman in passing the ball to
the center. Prof. Hardiman, coach
for Meigs, deserves much credit for
the good showing made by that team.
Bessie Smith, Ashcraft's center, never
lost a ball, while Josie Wagner, block
ing for Ashcraft, left Meigs' center
so closely blocked that it was with
much difficulty that Meigs made her
scores. Henrietta Jordan, third base
man, worked every ball over Meigs'
guards to Ashcraft's center. The
score was Is to Is in favor of Meigs.
The lineup of the teams was as fol
lows: Meigs: Bessie Montgomery, cen
ter; other bases, Jennie Rowland
