Negroes of Nashville; Mr.. w. D. Haw-
kins, cashier Peoples Savings Bank G.
Trust Company, and Mr.. c. N. Lang
ston, assistant cashier One-Cent Saw

banks of Nashville, each speaker set
ting forth very beautiful and con-
vincingly that Nashville was really
the CITY of Opportunity" and that as
capital of the state it was fitting and
very appropriate for the Standard
Life to begin its operations from the
center as we'll as from the capital.
The evening was started off with
such splendor and under such favora-
BILE auspices by a fervent prayer on
the part of DR.. r. H. Boyd and by
the excellent music by tine First Bap-
tist Church Choir, of East Nashville,
assisted by Miss Geneva Bender, who
rendered two excellent solos, that
those present could hardly realize,
until the concluding responses were
made, that it was a public mass-meet-
ing.
The Standard Life Insurance Com
pany was represented on the program
by Mr.. H. E. Perry, the president; ;
Mr.. T. K. Gibson, the manager of the
health and accident department, and
Mr.. H. H. Pace, the secretary, all Of
Atlanta They in turn and in the or
der named responded to the big
hearted welcomes that had been ac-
corded them by the citizens of Nash
vile. The speaker at length was Mr..
Pace, who impressed those present as
being the orator of the occasion,
while Mr.. Gibson, the man with facts
and figures, blended with an illus
trative turn of mind and gestures
that convinced, appeared to give the
people what they wanted after such
an array of arguments in behalf of
Standard Life. He gave the facts.
He told how the company nut on the
100000 with the state Of Georgia for
privilege to write life insurance He
exhibited certificates from five states
where the Standard Life Insurance
Company is doing business, and nre-
cented a chart showing the men be-

ing and a conference of the agents,
district managers and representatives
was held at the Mt Olive Baptist
Church. 1t opened at ten o'clock and
was divided into two sessions, morn
ing and afternoon. The morning ses-
sion was devoted to reports from
agents and district managers. These
reports covered every phase of insur-
ance life. They were interesting at
times and then amusing at times,
but showed conclusively that in the
development Of the insurance business
the Negro has to be reckoned with.
The afternoon session was more of
an instructive meeting Talks were
made by DR.. Adkins, of West Tennes-
see; Mr.. VIM. Driskell, Mr.. T. X

FISK @ A. B. C. 9 RESULT OF BIG GAME In ATLANTA
NOVEMBER 26.

Saturday at Athletic Park a large
crowd was on hand TO witness the
annual football game between State
Normal and Burrell Academy, of
Florence, Ala. These teams met
last year for the first time, and
though they were playing on the
home ground of the Burrell team,
State Normal returned the victors.
So this year, the boys came to
Nashville with a determination to
wipe out the old score, but State
Normal was just as determined that
it should not be done. 1t was appa-
rent from the beginning that both
teams had been well coached, and
that a good game was in store for
the spectators.
State Normal kicked off to Burrell,
who returned the bail 20 yards. On
the first lineup Burrel gained two
yards through the line, but on the
next attempts they failed to gain, and
the ball went to State Normal The
boys from the hill at once began a
rapid fire attack, the ball was
snapped to Boyd, who executed one
of the longest forward passes to
Downs ever witnessed in this city.
Davis kicks a beautiful goal from
placement on 30-yard line, the ball
sailing many yards beyond the goal
post. On the next kickoff Burrell
returned the ball sixty yards by
beautiful interference and swiftness
of the player. State Normal braced
and held for downs Boyd made !

fifteen yards on right end; Davis Il

PABY RODE STREET CAR
FENDER.

New Orleans, Nov. 19.-While seat
ed in an outgoing South Rampant
street car tonight, City Detective
James Glynn heard the persistent
waling of an infant and seeing none
in the car began to investigate. After
three blocks had been traversed he
stepped out on the front platform and
called the motormans attention to a
baby crying Justify in the car fender.
The child was rescued uninjured.
While debating what to do with it, a
woman in the crowd about them
gave vent to a shrek in the recogni-
tion of her baby, snatched it from the
arms of the motorman and carried il
away. The child was caught in the
fender while it was playing in the
street in front of its home.

This ended the scoring in one of
the best played games ever witnessed
in Athletic Park. There were times
when Burrell showed flashes of speed,
but they did not have the necessary
skill and stamina to score The score
does not give a clear conception of
the game Burrell played. 1t was not
a case of a bad team and a good one
But two good teams, and one of them
being better than the other. State

are being touted as rivals of Fisk be-
