Secretary Baker to
Speak at Greensboro

Greensboro, Aug. 30.-Because of
the splendid results following the din
served jointly by the State Normal
College and the Chamber of Commerce
of Greensboro last year. at which time
700 representative men from all over
the State were present to listen to a
discussion of questions that vitality at
fected the welfare of our people, the
State Normal College and the Chamber
Of Commerce have arranged to serve
another dinner of the same character
on the evening Of September 7th and
nave definitely determined to make
these dinners an annual event.
The Theme of the approaching Din
ner is to be Conservation. Secretary
OF War. Baker. has definitely accepted
invitation to be the principal speaker
on this occasion and doubtless every
thoughtful nan in the State will be in
terested in his discussion of this topic.
Before entering President Wilson's
cabinet Secretary Baker had earned for
himself a nationwide reputation for
progressive, constructive thought; and

1t is also expected that Governor
Craig, Hon. J. H. Small, Hon. Frank
A. Linney, and Hon. T. w. Beckett will
also be present to join in the discus
sion.
In view the fact that the State Nor
NAL College is a Statewide Institution
and the Chamber of Commerce of
Greensboro believes that one of the
most potent factors in upbuilding Ola
city is through the upbuilding of the
State. it is fitting that these two or
organization should join hands in
bringing to the attention of the leading
men of the State the best thought of
he day on constructive, non-partison
policies.
Preparations are being made to send
formal invitations to every editor in

legislature. congressman and senators
together with leading men in each
county. and it is hoped that every
county in the State will be represent

SUIT AGAINST PANTAGES.

DR.. w. Ellis Burton and Miss l..
o. Smith have brought suits against
Alexander Pantages, ct al, owners of
the Pantages Theatre in this city.
DR.. Burton claims $500 damages for
being refused admission to seats on
parquet floor. Miss Smith also
claims $500 damages for being re-
fused admission to parquet floor and
$1,000 for assault. They had tickets
in their possession and were not al
lowed to use them. Messrs. L. c.
Vale, Oscar Price and R. A. Skinner,
are bringing similar actions. Dep'y.
Sheriff John Allison served papers
on Mr.. Pantages on Dec. 10Th at the
Radisson Hotel. Atty's B. S. Smith
and r. A. Skinner represent the plain
tiffs.
1t is reported that Negroes are
Disseminated against in all the PAN
tages Theatres. The Star is proud
that the plaintiffs have accepted no
compromise, and are making a fight
for their race. Every Negro, who is
denied his rights should resort to
legal methods to obtain them, when
ever possible. Several suits against
such as Mr.. Pantages would be eff
fective. 1t would be a crusade for
justice and test of endurance along
right lines, that would give Our peo-
pie equal recognition in public places
as allowed them in the Civil Rights
Bill introduced by Hon. J. Frank
Wheaton and passed by the Mime

and his attention is called to The

A New Years Day
Reflection

A LII years are not alike In
n value to the race or the
individual; neither are all
days. There are black days and
white days, weeks that are bur-
densome and weeks that are like
a merry chime Of bells, months
that rumble with the thunder of
defeat and months that resound
with the shouts Of victory.
There is no monotOny in time.
It varies as does the landscape.
In one period it 10 as level as
q western prairie, with no spe-
cial experiences to mark its pas
sage; in another changes come
and events occur which make
the weeks resemble the Allie
ghenies, mountain heights gath
cred together like a great COM
pany Of giants whose shining he'll
NETS are visible though you have
travelled far away and stand on
your horizon line; in still another
some day or week with its won
drous happenings rises from the
plain Of memory like a veritable
Mont Blanc. and though seven
ty years be counted In your cal
endar you still see its summit
and say, THAT was the hour
when my new life began"
