theatre would be opened Monday;
March 9Th, and with a picture that
the movie goers of the city would
be delighted to see.
The Ritz, which has been ab-
normally long under construction,
due to War time priorities affect
ing essential material, and the
increased restrictions that must
be met, in the new municipal
building codes and regulations is
located in the heart of what will
soon be the principal section for
Negro Business in Jackson, the
area of North Parish Street, be-
tween Hamilton and Church Street
as the trend of Negro business for
the past few years has been
growing steadily IN that direction.
While DR.. Mccoy made no state
ment as to the cost of the thea
tire, it is the opinion of we'll in
formed observers and business
men that the cost of the building
to date has run up into large
fiugure Every where the opinion is
being expressed that the Ritz will
be successful far beyond the dreams
of its owner. It being pointed out
that almost daily large lines are
formed at the two Colored thea
tres of the city, especially when
high class picture is being
shown. Aside from the fact it is
also pointed out that the Sitz
would be a great success, if it
should deal onlv in a certain type
of nicture, which are usually not
available to locol Colored Thea
ire Goers. It is also predicted that
the opening of the Ritz will great
ly improve the kind and type of
picture made available to Colored
Theatre Goers.
The opening of the Ritz will be
gala occasion in the city as early
this week when the outward signs
began to give the more definite lp-
pearance of its completion, DR..
Mccoy began to receive messages
Of congratulation and best wishes
from prominent leaders, rank and
file citizens in Jackson, as well as
from other sections of the state.

'Lay That Pistol Down.
(From The Tulsa Oklahoma Eagle)

few days ago a white friend OF ours In the course
Of conversation that cenered around racial Characters
tics made this observation
"In my opinion, the greatest handicap that your
Pile suffer is the envy and jealousy that exists among your
leaders,"
Then he told of an experience in which he thrown
in contact with two well educated Negroes both of whom
accepted leaders, He considered them fine, upright
gentlemen Both the front fighting for the rights
Of their people Both prOfessed to have the detectives
But whenever achieved recognition, the other became
unnerested and sulen They refused to serve on
the same committee and whenever the spotlight foe
used upon because of meroriOus deed the other i'm
mediately set about to dscredit him.
My friend then commented
THAT doesn't to be true of your uneducated
They TO be proud of Negroes who have achev
ed recognition. / have them walk blocks past white
grocery stores to trade with Negrojust to help him
get ahead have them swell with pride when Negro
passed by in high powered limousine have listened with
interest to their conversation street and whenever
outstanding Negro became the topic of discussion
ment always complimentary. But your leaders are in
clned to tag such conversation with He's all right

ourselves is kill the fellow who is just notch above

divine who aspres feels the wrath of those Of his profess

in conducting whispering campaigns.
The white who is unfayorabe toward the
of our group takes advantage of this weakness
that long fighting each other will never
present solid front for the things to which are EMIT
led He envy and jealousy and he laughs
when Negro tells him that he speaks for his He
knows that the motive which inspires too many of
leaders is not atruism but self-aggrandzement

In the meantime there is TN
der stood to be a lot of behind the
scenes activities going on among
Negro Republican leaders in the
state, as well as. among the Lilly
White element of the Republican
party headed by former Cover
nor Sheldon of Nebraska. Obse"v-
ers here point out that develop
ments in the next few weeks may
find Mr.. Howard faced with one
of the most powerful opposing
groups in his long career as a
Republican leader of the state, as
there is a growing opinion among
state republicans that his useful
ness as leader of the party has
passed, both because of his long
residence outside of the state, and
because of his long time tie-ur
with both the reactionary group
in the republican party and re-
dictionary southern democrats;
and the time has come to replace
him in order to save the organiza.
ion.
