PRACTICE WHAT YOU pRlGACH.
Most of our so-callcd leaders arc
ever kicking about Jim Grow" laws
they are all the time telling our PEG,
pic from the pulpit, platform and
street corners, barber shops and
other such places, whore they can
get hearers, to be mon and women,
and not accept such treatment; stand
out for your rights, don't spend your
money where you don't got equal
treatment, where you are not wantci.
and whore you arc pushed OFF in
some corner to yourself or put up in
some top loft. All OF this and more
has been said by our leaders, preach
crs, lawyers, teachers, doctors and
business men, who stand for justice
and liberty for our people, but for
Gods sake, practice what you preach.
If one of our leading men is called
%
Ilo must take the faro tho railroad
gives.
llo must accept that if \ no goes
whore business calls, that we admit,
but he is not compelled to go down
to the Academy of Music, climb up
n side way and take seat in q
peanut gallery. when there is Il col
Ored theatre right in his very face,
that he must walk by to get to his
roOst pole i'll u peanut gallery and
then come away from his perch there
and in his noxt spooCh condemn the
people who go 10 the theatre.
One of the largest, if not tho
largest Negro enterprises in South
western Virginia Is tho Hampton
Theatre, Inc, Of Roanoke, owned
and controlled by Negroes, men whom
you all meet and know and claim
as you friends. Still you walk by
Thorn and their place OF amusement
and go down to one, where you and
all Of your people must climb as
many steps is were in Jacobs ladder
and then perch on n polo in the
, buz2ard roost Of peanut gallery to
SEQ u musical comedy. Practice
what you preach.
I ask tho question, which man
"uuiu you DldCS moro COniluCilCo Ill,
. ono who wont to see a high-class
photoplay in an up-to-date theatre
whero you enter tho front door, and
sit whore you please that Is owned
and controlled by your own people,
! or tho man who won't down to a
theatre, entor n side door, climb TO
a pole in the buzzard roost and
watch "lcg show? (which, | ask?
| leave the answer to you.
We might like u show Of this kind
but not at such u long range. Most
OF tho motion pictures shown today,
toach a moral lesson. l have ira
; veled over much OF this country, soon
some OF tho best shows, OF all kinds,
but havo never seen anything in a
musical comedy, except, az Il rulo, a
bunch Of women, made up, with pads
powders and baints--and very few
. clothos-who step quick and kick
high and tho moral it teaches wont
do for Sunday School.
Still somo Of our leaders arc doing
. this very thing and at the Same timo
' preaching race pride---avery man to
, his own liking, We have no obiec-

WHAT KILLED HIM?

While working in all ore bin at
Ruth, miner named L. Robinson,
an American, aged "a years old, was
caught in an overflow of fine ore, ac-
cording to recent report of the in
dustrial commission. He was covered
to his waist, hut apparently was in no
danger, as he. calmly gave directions
to those above him, slipped under his
arms rope which had been lowered
to him, and gave the word to hoist
away. When brought to the surface,
only few feet above he was dead.
The cause of death is to be determin-
ed. Robinson's co-workers were very
much shocked when they realized the
man had passed so suddenly.

MILLER ESTATE Pays
BIG INHERITANCE TAX

BY a decision rendered in the Ne
vada SupremcCourt this week the
State will receive the sum OF approxi-
lnately $4,000, in inheritance tax from
the estate of the late Henry Miller,
late land and cattle baron OF the
West
The decision is in the case Of the
State of Nevada on the relations OF
George Cole, as state controller
against J. Leroy Nickel and Nellie
Nickel. his wife, the latter being a
daughter of Miller. The opinion OH
rehearing, rewritten by Justice Sand
ers and concurred in by Justice Duck
err, follows the original opinion and
sustains the decision of R. c. Stod-
dard, when he was district judge in
! Washoe county. Chief Justice Cole
man wrote dissenting opinion.
The case involved the constitution
alty Of the states inheritance tax law,
| a similar suit, in which Nickel and
Mrs. Nickel are plaintiffs and the state
defendant is pending bit as the issues
are identical it is likely that the Sup
rene courts decision just filed will
settle the litigation unless way is
found to get into the United States
supreme court on a writ Of error.
In the original opinion by the lower
court it was decided that the deed Of
trust was made, executed and deliver
/ ed with the express intent on the part
OF Miller to evade the inheritance tax
law ofthe State Of Nevada" The
property affected by the transfer
| consists of 1881 shares of the
i stock OF the Nevada corporation. In
this connection the supreme court
says: These shares of stock are pri-
marily under the protection of the
laws of Nevada, and the complete dew
oluton of the title thereto ordinarily
takes place according to the laws Of
Nevada
| The state was represented by sAttor-
ney- General Fowler and Deputy
i Richards. The Miller estate was rep
resented i'll court by Edward L

There was some discrepancy be,

the bridegroom and the clerk pressed
for an explanation.
well, III tell you the truth" the
man replied. Some years ago I
bought a watch on the installment
plan and when it was paid for I
thought the idea was a pretty good
one. I figured to myself that some
day might want to get married. and
thought it wouldn't be bad idea TO
get the ring on the same plan"
you mean you got the ring and
kept 1t in your pocket until the right
girl happened along?' Mr.. Kenney in
