anu ueslSnaleu SUNDAY, Dec. z4tn, as
Booster paper day. The proceeds OF
which it was hoped would be SUI
ttcient to meet expenses and give
substantial aid to the poor, but alas
what failure and disappointment
To the club paper day TUNED out u
be, except two Boosters, no one sold
laperS but B. II. January, and per
sons selected by him. In fact he
insisted that he could use members
OF a club which he controls To sell
the papers. Much was expected OF
this B. II. January, who had ONLY
teen connected with the Boosters a
few weeks, and the persons selected
by h mias sellers were not Boosters
nor in any way connected with them.
b. j. January sold ten copies and
turned in SOC, his sellers sold quite
Il number of papers but turned i'll
i've cents the copy. At this late day
b. H. January comes out in the
Nashville Globe with an article
above his name, demanding an ac-
counting Of the Boosters for money
received from sale of papers for
GmaS Charity Fund, together with
mnNey collected fer Ads in the Boos-
Ter Edition.
In answer will say, that if it is
true that the people, both white and
Colored, who so generously assisted
the club last year in bundle and pa,
per day, for reasons best known to
them, did not feel disposed to do 50
Tor the same cause this year, and
Paid 10 B. II. January and his sell
ers five cents the copy only, donated
nothing to charity but received five
cents worth of real good reading
matter which cost the Boosters con.
siderable expense TO have printed.
but if they did give more than five
cents for the paper, then they did
Sive to the Booster Charity Fund and
an accounting should he had, but it
/ did not reach the Boosters head
/ quarters. We are informed by re-
/ putable persons that this Boosters
/ appeal for help through the sale of
the Booster editor of their Christ.
mas Charity Fund was responded to
and endorsed by both white and col
ored, and that some of the good peo-
pie aware of the great work done by
the Boosters last year paid literally
for the paper in order to help.
We regret to have to make this re.
quest, but We very respectfully urge
all persons who gave any of the pa
per sellers more than five cents to
kindly notify w. H. McGavock, pres
ident of the Boosters, 413 Fourth
avenue, North, so that they may re-
ceive credit and enable the club to
determine the cause Of paper day
failure under the management Of
r. H. January and his crew, as all
persons who sold papers were of his
selection except about two, number
ing some odd persons in all.
