ELEVEN STRAIGHT PASSES"
WITH THE "BONES" FATAL
TO A TEXAS NEGRO

Houston, Texas, Dec, "a negro
might easily be expected to make one.
two, three, four, or even five straight
passes with the bones" on an invest
ment of nickel and still retain his
composure. If the number of pass
es' is increased to eight he could be
excused for shedding his coat and do
ing a little perspiring. but when the
number is increased to eleven straight
sudden death would be possible, and
this is what happened, if reports of
a negro are true.
It was nickel ante game and there
was plenty of money in the crowd, for
payday had been enjoyed.
On the tenth successive throw there
was on the table the equivalent of
$51.10, and with a wild look of do or
die the negro took the dice in his
trembling hand and rolled 'em once
more. Hardly breathing, he looked
and it was the fatal number. His
hand stayed in another move toward
the dice, over his face came strange
expression, his eyes took on a CLASSY
look and he fell to the floor dead.

MILLION DOLLARS
TURPENTINE TAXES
Right of Writ Adams to Collect on
Turpentine Leases is Up
held.
Special to The Net1s.

Gulfport, Miss, Dec. Especial
Judge George S. Dodds has rendered
decree in the Harrison county circuit
court sustaining the right of State
Revenue Writ Adams to collect back
taxes from naval stores corporations
in South Mississippi aggregating more
than one million dollars.
Immediate appeal will be taken by
the defendants to the Supreme court,
and the decree of the latter tribunal
will be final.
Judge Dobbs holds that the leases
of naval stores corporations to turpen-
tine rights should be assessed as
money invested or employed in manu-
featuring" and the revenue agent is
entitled to collect on the assessed
value of these leases from 1904 to
1011, inclusive.
More than twenty naval stores con-

Germs are involved, the principal ones
being the Imperial Naval Stores Com
pany, the Hancock Naval Stores Com
pany, Wolf River Co., and Jackson Ma
val Stores Company.
The suit against the Union Naval
Stores Company Of New Orleans wa
dismissed because it was shown that
this company did not have a domicilc
in Mississippi up to three years ago.
In all other cases Judge Dobbs gives
decree in favor of the revenue agent
Several years ago Revenue Agent
Adams instituted similar proceedings
against the naval stores concerns, on
the ground that turpentine leases
should be assessed separate and dis
tinct from the land The Supreme
court declined to uphold this conten-
ton, and dismissed the suits.
In the new proceeding, instead Of
going after the naval stores concerns
for direct ad valorem assessment, the
revenue agent simply contended that
the value of these leases represented
money invested or employed in manu-
featuring In the counties of Harri-
son and Hancock alone the turpentine
leases are valued at more than two
million dollars. while in the twelve
counties covered by the pending suits
the leases represent value of nearly

Many of the claims against the

ago, but there yet remain thousands
or dollars in the United States treas

being In destitute circumstances:
but despite the efforts or Judson
Lyons and others who have appeal
ed time and again to Congress to set
tie the matter. the claims are stin

Much of the money in question rep
resents the savings of the freedmen

SCOTT OR SWiSHER

1t is no violation Of confidence
nor mistatement Of facts to say that
if Senator Scott should announce
his candidacy for the gubernatorial
nomination he would please a large
number Of Republicans who feel that
in this crisis Of the Darty's affairs
in the State the-stronges possible
candidate must be put forward il
the ihead Of the ticket is to be
saved.
In the years that Senator Scott
has been identified with public af-
fairs he has attached to himself a
loyal following, men who have
watched his course and have conf
dence in his leadership. They and
others not such admirers Of him are
all of one mind in the belief that
he is strong factor in the party
and, that his services entitle him to
further honors.
Mr.. Swisher, too, has friends
equally influential and loyal. They
and a large number Of other fair
| minded men think he is entitled t.
| any consideration he may ask from
| his party. They remember his sur
render Of the nomination honestly
won, and hold that his party would
| exhibit base ingratitude if it did not
repay at this time his unaelfish ac-

AS TO POLITICAL FRIENDS AND
EOEG

| A careful reading of President Taft s
| interview appearing in our Washing
ton letter and review of his ad-
| ninlstrative acts will convince any
reasonable person that the race has
had many worse enemies in the
white House than the present oc-
cupant- In exercising his appoint
ing powers he has not besn as liber-
al in the number of offices as some
of his predecessors, but the dignity
OF the places assigned to us and the
emolI'N:nts attached thereto more
than balance the scales.
AS between LaFollette and Presi-
dent Taft there is no difficulty of
choice for the Negro man who meas
ures president by the number OF
Negro office-holders he appoints
The president has demonstrated his
willingness over and over to give
recognition to the worthy of all rae
es. Senator LaFollette is an un-
known quantity. Several opportun-
tiles have presented themselves since
he has been sitting in the Senate, to

stance is now recalled of his aAset-
ting the woods on fire" TO get any
Negro anything. His progressive
ideas do not seem to include any or
those vitality important to us. '''
In politics as in everything else,
the safer plan is to stick to ones
friends. When a candidate has
been proved true, as President Taft
has, and makes a bid for the suff-
rage Of. the race he ought to and
will receive it.
SO 1nucn for President Taft and
others who have stood the test, but
what Of those who have broken their
solemn promises, who have thus far
failed to put Negroes into positions
AS they promised before election to
do Some Of this very class will be
up for nomination again Will the
Negroes support them? The Adyo-
cate believes they will not. 1t is OF
the opinion that all fair means
should be eXerted to encompass
their defeat, that Il man who fails
keep his word does not deserve
and should not receive the support
Of those to whom he has proved
faithless.
