Our good friend, the able editor Of
the Salem Times Register, quoted re-
Gently from correspondent Of the
Times Dispatch giving account Of the
work on SOuthside Virginia farm,
and mentioned the fact that the land
was assessed for taxation at only IS
an acre. The editor of the Times
Register in reply says land in his sec
ton, not more profitable than the
acres mentioned, are taxed as high as
$50 an acre. We haven't the data on
hand to enable us TO 90 into this sub
jet of unequal assessment of lands in

MOST uNREAsONABLE RKQUEsr.

-Four negro bishops appeared before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
of late and made complaint Of the OPP
Grafton Of the Jim Crow law In the
Southern States alleging that by viz
tue Of the provisions Of this law they
were compelled to ride with worthless,
rowdy and drunken members Of their
own race. This load of filth they
would dump on the white race. Was
ever impudence so profound or check
80 colossal? These same black bish-
ops urge negroes TO organize and main
tain their own churches and in no wise
listen to the teachings of white min
listers.
Avoid the churches in which white
people do cOngregate but force your
way into cars in which white people
do travel. Why not spend your time,
your strength and your prayers, ne
gro preachers Of the negro race, in ef-
forts TO make the members Of that race
clean enough TO associate with rather
than in efforts to drag white people
down To their miserable level? II
they are obnoxious to you how much
more so they must be to anglo-saxons.
We have long feared that these bish-
ops were mischief makers rather than
preachers of righteousness. But
''praise God from whom all blessings
flow," the day Of deliyerance has
come.

 l The semi-annual reception Of tho Algonquin club will be held in Buck

 vide as an enjoyable time at the coming reception for their guests as
 they did at the last, they will feel I fully satisfied. The Algonquinesqu manner of holding reception seems
 to grow more popular after each suc- ceeding event under the clubs aus- pices, for at present there are aY- l most as many tickets sold for their autumnal reception as were disposed l of for the dance at Easter. Sexton Mulhern and Undertakes
