Brown, lecturer, electorist and educator, who was unanimously elected president of the National Association of Colored Women at their twelfth biennial session recently held in Tuskegee institute, Alabama. Miss Brown is unquestionably one of 1500 PERSONS LEAVE SOUTH EVERY DAY Lynching is Cause of Second Big Migration Now On. LABOR SCARCE. White Women Forced to Work in Field to Save Crops. Chicago, July 30.—There is another mighty exodus of the Negroes from the south. The chief cause this time is not economic, although practically all who come are able to get work, but the movement is due to an epidemic of infiltration and lynching. Since the first of July there has been an astounding epidemic of murder and lynching in several sections of the south. The Associated Negro Press is carefully investigating the conditions from every angle. According to The Memphis Times, colored people are leaving the south at the rate of more than 1,600 a day. This is frankly very conservative. A leading professional man from Mississippi, who has just reached Chicago, stated that the people are leaving at the rate of more than 1,500 a day. The newspapers of the country, daily and otherwise, had not ceased converting editorially on the semi-annual report of Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee institute, as gathered by Prof. Monroe N. Work of the research department, on lynching for 1920—where an appreciable decrease is shown—when the trouble started. Meridian, Miss, who had an altercation with a white traveling postal clerk was taken from the officers and "quitely" lynched. "The killing of the Negro was the quietest and most orderly lynching that ever took place in this section. Not an inkling of any intention to deal out summary vengeance having been allowed to become known and the identity of the men who did the work is a profound mystery which probably will never be solved." While the whites are remaining "mystified," thousands of people, many of them large property holders, the accumulation of a life time, are leaving Mississippi. A white policeman shot and killed two Negro firemen in Elberton, Ga., July 1st; Eld Rochau was "shot to death by a posse of farmers near Roxboro, Va." July 6; Irving and Herman Arthur were mobbed and burned at the stake in Paris, Texas, July 6, and thus goes the great American pastime of human slaughter. NEW JERSEY GIVES $317,000 TO COLORED SCHOOL The legislature of New Jersey has appropriated for the Borden town industrial school, the sum of $317,000, available for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1920. This is the largest appropriation in the history of the school. This sum includes $160,000 for a dining-room and gymnasium. This is an indication of the confidence which the state is feeling in the future of the school.

Jones Many men and women of our group in iowa have proven themselves the conal and in many respects the propriors of other races in the laboring and professional worlds. It is just recently that we are beginning to enter the world that we can succeed in the cold, strenuous business competitions. The writer journeyed a few days ago and was the guest of Prof. A. B. Noble he was the English department of the college and the breakfast guest of Mr. G. Madison, who is a typical example of the rising young men in our group. Graduating from the engineering department a few years ago, he did the unprecedented thing—settled down in a small white college town. The spirit of development and competition soon dominated his life and he had "set up business" for himself. After six years of strenuous competition he has a plumbing establishment with stock and equipment exceeding a value of $15,000. His bookkeeper is also clerk of the largest church in Ames. A force of seven skilled men augmented by helpers as the job demands look to Mr. Madison for orders. The acid test of any business, especially a contracting business is "How does the chief stand with the banks." That Mr. Madison has first class credit is evidenced by the yearly growth of his business. The volume of the first year was $5,000, the second year $33,000 the fifth year it jumped to $75,000 and this year it will run well above the $150,000 mark. In addition to directing this growing business he finds time to draft his own plans and write ads that are "pullers." Several of these ads have been used in various trade magazines on their "Better Business Campaign." Like his business career, his educational experience was a steady development. Leaving the public schools he entered Sam Houston college, Texas, then to Tuskegee institute in Alabama from where he graduated to the great Ames college. As I sat in the modern dining room munching delicious biscuits and negotiating a delicious steak prepared by the cherryman little wife, who with Madison, Jr., rules over a modern, well furnished bungalow. I gleaned from his conversation that his message to the young men of our group is to be capable, honest and develop the power of endeavor. Mr. Madison is just completing a $35,000 contract for the Eagle Grove High school. A great honor has just come to him in the news of assistant director of institute at the great Tuskegee institute, which is receiving his serious consideration. The example of Mr. Madison is a vital one especially to our boys in Iowa. CROCKER STREET EXANCH Y. M. C. A. HAD. FORTY.

DES MOINES BOY MAKES GOOD IN THEATRICAL WORLD for 8250.00 per week. One day this spring a smiling young man known to his friends here as Tommy Harris came into the office and after giving a year's subscription to the Rystander told us some of his plans for the future. He confided to us that his highest ambition had been to enter vaudeville and he was about to realize his heart's desire. True to his promise to let his home town paper be the first to learn of his success we were gratified this week to receive a communication from him with the information that he had signed a contract for a vaudeville tour of ten weeks at $250 per week. Mr. Harris is quite well known in this section as a comedian and dancer having been in the show game since he was 14 years of age. His first experience was with the W. A. Mahara ministrels. Coming to Des Moines in 1907 he formed a partnership with one of the Nay brothers and this team worked in vaudeville out of Des Moines for two years. Their first appearance in Des Moines was in a minister given for the V. M. C. A. that was then located at Ninth and Park streets. He appeared with the late John Minggett. The performance was under the direction of Raymond Dysart. His next engagement was with the Nashville students where he remained until 1916. During this time he also played the snare drum with the Frank Perkins jazz band now filling an engagement at Riverview park. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Harris was drafted and saw service overseas with the famous 366th regiment. While at Camp Dodge he made a decided hit in the minstrel presented by his regiment at the Berechel theatre. He was also a member of the 366th band. On his return to the states after the close of the war he spent several months in vaudeville but later retired to prepare for his new act. Mr. Harris expects to leave for New York about the first of October where his time will begin. We hope that his tour will bring him to Des Moines where his many friends here will witness his success. OLD SETTLERS PICNIC The old settlers of Des Moines will hold their annual picnic Thursday, Aug. 5 at Union park. Dinner will be served at 2 o'clock, after which a program of games and races under the direction of A. A. Alexander, E. R. Hall and E. Traey Blagdon will be held and prizes for the winners of first and second places will be awarded by the secretary, Mr. John I. Thompson. The judges will be announced later. Contests including races for men, women and children, jumping, baseball, croquet and horse shoe games will be enjoyed. Immediately after dinner the list of old settlers who have died the past year will be read. All settlers old and new, ministers and their congregations are cordially invited to come and bring well filled baskets.—R. N. Hyde, president, John L. Thompson, secretary. Suffered Intense Pain "A few years ago when visiting relatives in Michigan something I had catnaught on an attack of cholera morbosa," writes Mrs. Celesta McVicker, Macon, Mo. "I suffered intense pains and had to go to bed. I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colie and Diarrhoea Remedy and one dose relieved the pain wonderfully. I only took two or three doses but they did the work. Sponges are known to be very abundant in the Australasian seas, especially is this the case with the borny or biggest form of sponges.

Dr. Bundy with his attorney and wife are on a tour of the country asking the members of the race to back his fight which will set a precedent for all similar decisions. A collection of $250 was to Dr. Bundy by the citizens of Des Moines as their snare towards the appeal which comes up for hearing in October. JULIUS ROSENWALD MAKES NEW OFFER TO BUILD RACE Y. M. C. A.

Jones Many men and women of our group in town have proven themselves the equal and in many respects the propriors of other races in the laboring and professional worlds. It is just recently that we are beginning to move to the world that we can succeed in the cold, strenuous business competition. The writer journeyed a few days ago and was the guest of Prof. A. B. Noble the English department of the college and the breakfast guest of Mr. G. Madison, who is a typical example of the rising young men in our group. Graduating from the engineering department a few years ago, he did the unprecedented thing—settled down in a small white college town. The spirit of development and competition soon dominated his life and he "set up business" for himself. After six years of strenuous competition he has a plumbing establishment with stock and equipment exceeding a value of $15,000. His bookkeeper is also clerk of the largest church in Ames. A force of seven skilled men augmented by helpers as the job demands look to Mr. Madison for orders. The acid test of any business, especially a contracting business is "How does the chief stand with the banks?" That Mr. Madison has first class credit is evidenced by the yearly growth of his business. The volume of the first year was $5,000, the second year $13,000, the fifth year it jumped to $75,000 and this year it will run well above the $150,000 mark. In addition to directing this growing business he finds time to draft his own plans and write ads that are "pullers." Several of these ads have been used in various trade magazines on their "Better Business Campaign." Like his business career, his educational experience was a steady development. Leaving the public schools he entered Sam Houston college, Texas, then to Tuskegee institute in Alabama from where he graduated to the great Ames college. As I sat in the modern dining room munching delicious biscuits and negotiating a delicious steak prepared by the charming little wife, who with Madison, Jr., rules over a modern, well furnished bungalow. I gleaned from his conversation that his message to the young men of our group is to be capable, honest and develop the power of endeavor. Mr. Madison is just completing a $35,000 contract for the Eagle Grove High school. A great honor has just come to him in the news of assistant director of institute at the great Tuskegee institute, which is receiving his serious consideration. The example of Mr. Madison is a vital one especially to our boys in Iowa. CROCKER STREET EXAM Y. M. C. A. HAD FORTY- TWO BOYS AT CAM Monday morning, July 19 at 9:30 o'clock forty-two boys left the city for the Des Moines "Y" camp five miles above Boone. P. Merle Scott, general secretary of central Y. M. C. A.; E. C. Bobin-on executive secretary of Corker street branch, Rev. Claybrook and two high school boys as leaders. After two hours riding we arrived at camp. Upon arrival the cottage groups and leaders were assigned as follows to cottage "Engle nest" group with Donald Curley as leader; cottage "Pioneer," group H. Alpheno Springs as leader; "Rawson Iodge," Secretary Scott as leader; Sunny Side码头, Henry Baeum as leader; "Thorny Loost," Rev. Claybrook and Allen Ashley as leaders and "Vista Viey" with James Sommers of center "Y" as physical director and Secretary E. C. Robinson as camp director. Monday afternoon team of games were chosen, as a result we had four volleyball ball teams, four baseball teams and four playground teams. Tuesday morning the games started off with unusual pop and lasted until the finals were played Monday, July 11. Our night program was a history of scenes, talks and movies, and the atmosphere that brought us great messes, Messes, Scott Webber, Rev. Roen and Mr. Hardin of the historical cong. We would like to publish our records and honors awarded of all our events but space does not permit. The camp as a whole was the best yet. James Williams, one of our very promising young high school boys had charge of the beginner's class in swimming, and we can report six boys who could not swim at all having learned to swim. Sunday was our visitors day. The following persons were present: Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Shepherd, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Walden and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. John L. Thompson, and daughter, Mrs. Ousley, Mrs. Branck, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Watkins, Mrs. Dozier and daughter, Mrs. Hughes and daughter, Mr. O. N. Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Boone Iowa, Dr. Richardson, Boon, Messrs. Knox Marshall, John Brown, Bert Parker, J. W. Clark, Marion Mano, Matthew Hunter, Roy and Marion Terry. All went away greatly pleased. ```markdown ``` The Best VERTISING MEDIUM REACH COLORED PLE IN THE WEST state Control Blvd. Histor Cants ing Business $250 per Week THE MASTER OF THE WORLD DES MOINES BOY MAKES GOOD IN THEATRICAL WORLD for $250.00 per week. One day this spring a smiling young man known to his friends here as Tommy Harris came into the office and after giving a year's subscription to the Bystander told us some of his plans for the future. He confided to us that his highest ambition had been to enter vaudeville and he was about to realize his heart's desire. True to his promise to let his home town paper be the first to learn of his success we were gratified this week to receive a communication from him with the information that he had signed a contract for a vaudeville tour of ten weeks at $250 per week. Mr. Harris is quite well known in this section as a comedian and dancer having been in the show game since he was 14 years of age. His first experience was with the W. A. Mahara minstrels. Coming to Des Moines in 1907 he formed a partnership with one of the Nay brothers and this team worked in vaudeville out of Des Moines for two years. Their first appearance in Des Moines was in a ministered give for the Y. M. C. A. that was then located at Ninth and Park streets. He appeared with the late John Middgett. The performance was under the direction of Raymond Dysart. His next engagement was with the Nashville students where he remained until 1916. During this time he also played the snare drum with the Frank Perkins jazz band now filling an engagement at Riverview park. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Harris was drafted and saw service overseas with the famous 366th regiment. While at Camp Dodge he made a decided hit in the minstrel presented by his regiment at the Berchel theatre. He was also a member of the 366th band. On his return to the states after the close of the war he spent several months in vaudeville but later retired to prepare for his new act. Mr. Harris expects to leave for New York about the first of October where his time will begin. We hope that his tour will bring him to Des Moines where his many friends here will witness his success. OLD SETTLERS PICNIC. The old settlers of Des Moines will hold their annual picnic Thursday, Aug. 5 at Union park. Dinner will be served at 2 o'clock, after which a program of games and races under the direction of A. A. Alexander, E. R. Hall and E. Tracy Blighman will be held and prizes for the winters of first and second places will be awarded by the secretary, Mr. John L. Thompson. The judges will be announced later. Contests including races for men, women and children, jumping, baseball, equestrian and horse shoe games will be enjoyed. Immediately after dinner the list of old settlers who have died the past year will be heard. All settler, old and new, ministers and their congregations are cordially invited to come and bring well filled baskets,—R. N. Hyde, president, John L. Thompson, secretary. Suffered Intense Pain. "A few years ago when visiting relatives in Michigan something I had catched brought on an attack of cholera morbus," writes Mrs. Celesta MeVicker, Maeon, Mo. "I suffered intense pains and had to go to bed. I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Driarhoc Remedy and one dose relieved the pain wonderfully. I only took two or three doses but they did the work. Sponges in Australasian Seas.

It surely met God's approval. David gath- ered together the representative men of the nation in order that the move- ment might be a national one. That David was sincere in this measure can- not be doubted, but he was hasty and incousiderate. God had expressly de- creed that the Kohathites should bear the ark upon their shoulders (Num. 4:4, 15; 7:9; 18:3). For them to place it even upon a new cart was a positive violation of God’s command ment, ‘Though David was sincere, his sincerity did not atone for disobedi- ence to God's Word. ‘The dictum that it matters little what you do, just so you are honest and sincere, is one of the Devil's blackest lies. It mattered much in this case, and always does, David cannot be excused on the ground of ignorance, because he had the op- portunity to know. God cannot be IMamed for man’s ignorance when he has given him the law and the ability te understand it. Ul, God Vindicates His Law and Holi- ness (vv. 6-9). ‘The people were very Joyful as they moved on toward Jerusalem with the ark, but suddenly there was a stop to their jubilant voices and music. At some rough place in the read the oxen stumbled and Uzzah, ansious for the precious freight on his cart, reached forth his hand to steady it. ‘This re sulted in his being stricken with death, Ignorance does not make a man im- mune from the death which Is in the touch of the heavily charged electric wire; neither docs it In the case of the Violation of God's laws, Even those who were designated by the Lord to carry the ark were not allowed to touch it with their hands. Since the ark was God's dwelling place among men, they needed to know that he wits holy, God's judgment was severe, but not wore so than they deserved. ‘This awful visitation of Just judgment struck terror to David. Well it might, for he was in the path of disobedience. ‘The Lord's presence has no terror for those who obey his word. Il, The Ark of God in the House | of Obed-Edom (vv. 10-12). ‘The presence of Jehovah always brings btessings. The homes where God is welcomed are always blessed. Obed-Edom was not better personally than Uzzah and David, but he openly received the Lord and properly related hinself to hin, What had been death and dread to others was life and bless- ing to him, IV. The Ark Brought to Jerusalem With Great Joy (wv. 13-19). 1, Sacrifices offered after going six paces (vy. 18). David made the start and when convineed of God’s approval he made offerings, ‘These were both burnt and peace offerings, typifying the self-dedication of the offerers and their thansksiving (I Chron, 16:1). 2. David's great joy (vy. 14, 15). The people joined him with great shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. 3 Michal's criticism (y, 16). Even though David went to excess in his ex- pression of joy, it was wrong in her to criticize, for God seems to have sine: tioned David's rebuke of her (v.23). 4. ‘The grand celebration (vy. 17-19). AS a token of his gratitude to God, David generously treated the people. A. ‘The King of glory, the Lord Je- sus Christ coming (Psalms 24:7-10). This was not the psalm composed by David for the oceasion of bringing up the ark; that was Psalm 103 (see I Chron. 16). It is strange that such & suggestion should have been made, The ‘Twenty-fourth Psalm pictures Christ us the coming and triumphant Kins. At that time the gates shall open to him and the King of glory shall come in, Self-Judgment, Turn thine eyes unto thyself, and Neware thou judze not the deeds of other men. In judging of others # tan iaboreth in vain, often erreth, und easily sinneth; but in judging and examining himself, he always laboreth fruitfully-—Thomas a Kempis. Amiable People.
