i'm CROW CARS IN
NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Nashville Railway and Light
Company pied guilty last week to nine
out of eleven charges of violating the
Jim Crow law, and Judge A B.
Anderson of the First Criminal Court
assessed the maximum fine OF $500
and costs for each. These nine cases,
along with others previously disposed
of, cost the company almost $500 ex-
penditure in fines alone. The -one-
man" car was at the bottom of the
difficulty. Street car companies in the
South, as elsewhere, trying to cut
down operating expense, have been
experimenting with a type of car in
which passengers enter and leave by
the front door, the motorman and con-
ductor being the same employee. This
necessitated the passing of Negroes
the white sections of the car,
and the result IN Nashville was these
charges Of permitting ieomingliAg %
whites and blacks.

THE DOUGLASS NATIONAL
BANK

The officers and directors of the
Douglass National Bank, headed by
the genial president, Mr.. p w. Chav-
ers, reached the city early Tuesday
morning after concluding a very sue
cessful out-of-town stock selling cam
paign, with a big mass meeting at
Indianapolis on Monday evening.
The meeting was held in the audi
forum Of the new Phillips Memorial
Temple, just completed at a cost of
$4,000, the finest structure of its
kind ever owned by our group. The
population turned out zen masse" to
welcome the bank representatives and
indicated their interest by subscribing
and paying for a large number of
shares. The meeting which termin-
ated so prohtably was held under the
auspices of a citizens committee of
one hundred, composed of the lead
ing business and professional men and
women of the city.
Similar meetings have been held in
St. Louis and Detroit and Mr.. Chavers
and the board are much elated with
the evident awakening of the race to
its industrial and commercial needs
and predict that within a short time
we will attain REAL freedom: That
Of economic emancipation.
All necessary equipment such as
pass books, check books, etc, and
Office appliances have been ordered
and will be installed as soon as the
contractor completes the renovation of
the building and makes it ready for
the formal opening early in January,
1922.

HUMAN FRAILTIES
By DR.. M. A. Majors

There's things a plenty crossways
and there's many that are straight
There's much righteous people should
never leave to Fate;
But all the things that's LETT to tate
there are some | regret,
And it isn't any honor to the righteous
ones I've met.
There's goodness and there's badness
in church and out OF it,
And very many things don't fit, and
can't be made to fit;
For some say truth is stronger tina,
fiction, may be so,
But somehow it is different with ths

URBAN LEAGUE ANNUAL
MEETING

Charles Zueblin, formerly professor
of sociology at the University of Chi
eago, author and lecturer of note, will
be the speaker at the annual meeting
of the Chicago Urban League, Friday
evening, December 9th, at Lincoln
Center. Mr.. Zueblin has put his atti-
tude toward the darker races on record
through numerous references in his
books.
Writing about Negroes in his The
Religion of Democrat" he says it is
time to abandon social orthodoxy, and
agree that "a mans a man for a that"
Likewise he says in discussing the
Chinese and Japanese: Quite aside
from the question of oriental compe-
tition, surely in our commercial and
economic relations, there is only one
way to view a man, and that is as
man"
Mr.. Zueblin is sure to be worth hear
ing. and the public is welcome. No
admission fee, no collections.

NO COLOR LINE IN ATLANTA,
GEORGIA, CHURCHES

The City Council here recently
passed an ordinance applying the jim
Crow doctrine to churches and
schools. There was close division Of
sentiment, the vote being twelve to
eleven. Councilman Walter 4 Sims
introduced the ordinance which would
bar whites and blacks from attend
ing the same place of worship or the
same school in Atlanta" The bill was
then turned over to Mayor James L
Key, who vetoed it on the ground that
it will invade that which is matter
of conscience with a great many pep
pie" and it would cause a great deal
more trouble and irritation than It
would allay."

the most popular men in the busin-
ness, and was general favorite with
both white and colored alike. When
the Chicago Beach Hotel was opened
up, he was asked by his personal
friend, Manager w. r. Ross, to put
a shop in the hotel, and from the day
he opened the shop until his death he
maintained the respect of Managers,
clerks, guests and employees. He was
always digni6ed. yet pleasant to meet
at all times. He was born in Barba-
dos, West Indies.
His death is mourned by his son,
Ernest Sobers, nephew and a host
of friends. The funeral services was
held at St Thomas Episcopal church

ment at lakewood cemetery. PAIL
