\ meeting was held i'll the church
Friday afternoon to see what action
would be taken in regard to rebuilding
the parsonage which was recently de
stroyed by fire. There is as nucleus
for the building fund the insurance
money of 81, 800 and 5000 of the Homer

this purpose.

ADDRESS OF
MAYOR EWING
DELIVERED SUNDAY AT THE Y.

PEOPLE.

Mr. President and Friends:
Il am here this afternoon at your
invitation in my official capacity as
Mayor Of the City to show my official
approval of this movement-but some
thing more than that-to wish it
every possible success, to bid it God
speed. 1t is not only my duty but a
real pleasure to do this.
"A very large part of the popula-
ton of Nashville is made up of the
members of your race. You are going
to be here and it is to the interest OF
the white race that you should be.
You need the cooperation of the
white people and they need your pres
ence here. You can build up this
community and while doing so be-
come prosperous and happy your
selves. Towards doing so education
is a great thing. To help your chill
dren acquire this a generous provis-
ion is made in city public school mat
tiers. Your higher educational insti-
buttons have the friendly support of
all and every advancement you max e
is welcomed and taken as good sign
of your capacity, but there is some
thing higher in life than mere book
learning and that is your moral ele-
walton. That is what is sought by
this movement. | think it is general

is more inspiring, nothing is more
lovely, no phase Of life so commands
our admiration. Such men are the
companions and the confidants OF
their sons, and 1t Is companionship
more than anything else which the
father and son banquet emphasizes
There are certain ways to a boys
heart and to a boys confidence
known to the wise. The prudent
father will study his boy and learn
the way of approach. 1t is study
to which he can devote a lifetime
without learning all there is to be
learned about boy. Human nature
is ever perpleXing but never more
perpleIing than as il is manifested
in the person OF a growing boy. The
father of boy has need of all the
wisdom which he is able to command
II he is to be successful in his task;
he needs to make the training of his
boy the chief business of his life,
for the time being-he needs to make
it something more than incidental or
rerfunctory.
1t is good to see the fathers and
the sons getting together and becom-
ing better acquainted. Both should
profit by the enlarged understanding.
Men and boys should be able to find
many interests which are common to
them. The father will find that his
boy is a delightful companion, if he
will but take the trouble to draw him
cut, and the hey will discover that
mis- father is, after all, but a boy
grown tall, with boyish interests and
likings still. The effect will be to
raise each in the others regard and
thus make it easier for them to
meet in common sympathy and solve
the problems which arise out of the
relations of their daily life and con-
tact
1t is good for any man to mingle
with boys. There is refreshmenI
and stimulation in the contact. II
Il father would be wise and learned,
he will cultivate all boys, and espe-
cially his own boys, asSiduOusly
whenever opportunity offers; if OPP
pOrtunity does not offer, he will ere
ate opportunities. Only by so doing
can he hope IL have any real equip
ment for a mans most difficult job

must admit the task is great one
but the harvest is ripe and laborers
are few, and we need to pray the Lord
that more laborers come with a
Christian education to help with this
great harvest. The many that were
present enjoyed the program and the
boys and girls went to their different
homes to await another session to
meet with their teacher.

SENATOR J. PARKS WORLEY,
THE BLACK MANS FRIEND


Since Senator WCrley's speech in
the Senate 4 few days ago against
woman suffrage, we notice that the
East Tennessee NelOS, printed in
Knoxville, has attacked Senator Wor-
ley and charged that he in that
speech raised the question of Negro
supremacy in the South. We know
that our contemporary would not
have made this charge if it had
known the facts concerning the
Senator's speech If our Knoxville
friend could have heard the speech,
instead Of taking garblel reports OF
it. he would have written a different
story.
Senator Worley took the high posi-
ton that he believed that the ado7-
tion OF double suffrage in Tennessee
would ultimately result in friction
between our races in the State.
from the fact that wherever woman
suffrage has obtained for any great
length Of time, compulsory voting
laws have also been enacted. He
stated that the white man in Ten.
1nesseo wanted the black man to vote
Just as fast as he qualified himself
for the exercise of that privilege;
that the white man of the South was
the black mans best friend that
notwithstanding the fact that after
the Civil War the white man was
refused the right to exercise his
suffrage and that the black man was
permitted to vote, that the white
man took the black man by the hand
and has continued from that day to
this to try to lead him and help
him to educate and make his race
a better race. This paper wants to
say here and now that during Sena-
tor WOrley's ten years of continued
service in the Legislature in Tennes.
see he has, by his every act and
every vote, upon questions vital to
the Negro race, shown himself to be
the Negroes friend. Four years ago
lie was author Of an amendment to
the appropriation bill which gave our
school here a $4,000 educational
fund. At another session lie was in
strumental in accomplishing the de-
ieat of proposed legislation which

such uuwarranlod attacks upon him
as this one.
