DECEIVE NOT YOURSELF.

Let us not deceive ourselves. There
are many Negroes who hallow race
pride, who patroniZe their race just
enough to make it appear that they
are loyal, while 80 per cent. of their
money is spent in the upkeep of the
business of those who under no cir
cumstances will give employment to
a Negro except as menial. very
often, too, the colored patron or rath-
er ought-to-be patron, loses sight OF
everything about the enterprise of
member of his race except the propri-
etor, whom he usually dislikes. He
should remember, for instance, when
he refuses to patronize Negro place
of business, the very first effect is to
lessen the employing capacity OF the
concern, thereby lessening the num-
ber of colored boys and girls who
might be given work. Let us not de-
ceive ourselves, and remember that
if we ever expect to see the cultured
and qualified youth given positions
commensurate with their intelligence,
they must build institutions which are
operated by the Negro.-Dallas Ex-

THE STAR COMMENDED FOR
COURAGE.

The Star appreciates keenly the
great recognition it received Tuesday
night at Shorter's church and thanks
not only Mayor Sharpley but Lawyer
Townsend for his warm words OF
praise. If we have done anything
commendable we are proud, but we
too well know. that that vicious tilm
has not been stopped and there are
SO many different ways to defeat the
Negro in his strong fight against it.
The star is not sure of anything and
for that reason we are urging the
Negroes to keep on the lob. Keep
busy until we know we have won.

ADJUSTMENTS
Forbes Robertson's Record

The dramatization of Rudyard Kipling' S The Light That Failed" which Sir John ston Forbes Robertson will present at the Jefferson theatre tonight, shows the &C., tor in a role entirely different from any other i'll his farewell repertoire The part of Dick Fielder gives him great acting opportunities, which allows the audience to appreciate his range and wide re- sources as few characters could Dick Heldar, the war correspondent and artist, who slowly goes blind, is a pa- thetic figure in the novel, but imperson-
 ated by Forbes Robertson the character assumes an intensity that is tragic de- spite the comparatively hapy ending in
 the reconciliation with Maisie. Readers of novels are generally disappointed in the
 dramatization of them, but Forbes Rob- ertson's presentation of "The Light That Failed holds so closely to the spirit and character of the original that the story 1 seems to gain by it's being placed on the stage

 Hendrix, cashier of the Tennessee Val ley bank, and 1t was sung to the tune of "Tiperary"
 There were over a hundred men in
 the dining room at Hotela Lyons last night when the song was sung and the song was the hit of the occasion. At the banquet last night Attorney Tom Sanders of Athens said if the Jack
 son highway came this way a wagon bridge acros sthe Tennessee river at Decatur would be built That he knew where the money was coming from but further than this he was not now in a position to say.
 The pathnnders left this morning for Nashville by the way of Athens. They were accompanied by several local peo- pie.
 The long g-drawn out fight between the city of New Decatur and the Southern Bell Telephone company over the ques- tion of franchise was settled last night by the passage of an ordinance by New Decatur giving the Southern Bell company a 30-year franchise.
