Conditions Deplorable In the Southland HARDING RUSHES AID TO SUFFER-ERS IN SOUTH Washington D. C. July 26.—Federal agencies, acting at President Harding's direction, were working at emergency speed today to relieve conditions in a large section of the southern cotton health service to be occupied by the public health service to threaten a near state of famine coupled with a widespread epidemic of pellagra. Alarmed by the report of conditions, which are attributed to the economic light cotton workers and growers, resulting in a shortage of market, President Harding yesterday called on the public health service and the American Red Cross to make an announcement to ascertain the actual conditions and to no time in applying an effective remedy. 2,701 in 34 Years FACTS AND FIGURES OF THE SOUTH'S LYNCHING RECORD COVERING A PERIOD OF 34 YEARS A magazine published in Bismarck, N. D., gives the published facts and figures of the barbary lynchings of south for the past thirty-four years: Georgia, 419; Mississippi, 333; Texas, 294; Alabama, 289; Arkansas, 218; Tenn- soreau, 184; Florida, 73; South Carolina, 120; Mississippi, 140; Alabama, 81; Virginia, 75; North Carolina, 68; West Virginia, 63. Total, 2,701. Amid all these lynchings, 2,701—covering 34 years in the United States—not one lyncher has been brought to justice! You can roar alive, mutilate and carve "the dark meat" in the south with immunity and amnii dplaustes. During this, also the rest of the U. S. A., there were 375 less than in the State of Georgia. PRESIDENT GREGG COMMENDS PAGEANT President John A. Gregg, of Wilberforce, has reviewed the Pageant being staged at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church at St. Paul's in an letter, which is as as follows: he says: Office of the July 16th, 1921. Mrs. S. Joe Brown, 1058 5th St., Des Moines, Iowa. My Dear Madam: I am writing to command you on the production of pageant you who is very excellent work. I am sure that it will give persons who do not know the history of our church a very clean idea of its birth and growth.

State street, between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-seventh streets, contained 35,000 persons, howling, cheering, and fighting for a chance to see and shake the hand of Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world. It was the fifth assembly during the day of his friends to welcome him home. Two wagon loads of police from the Stanton avenue station were necessary to cut a path through the throng so Jack, smiling and waving, his gold teeth glistening, could pass in his automobile. He wafted his appreciation to the multitude as his machine whisked him around Thirty-fifth street and into Michigan boulevard "Black Brothers" Threaten Enemies in the South "Black Brothers" Organization (By the Associated Negro Press) Mayersville, Miss., July 28.— Mayersville and the surrounding country has been stirred by the disclosure of a plot to assassinate M. Herzog, one of the leading merchants of Mayersville, by an organization which signs itself the "Black Brothers." Jim Shaffer, a Negro, received a letter thru the mail from this organization. It was printed with a pencil and very badly misspelled. The letter told him that he had been appointed to do away with Mr. Herzog, who, they said, was one of "our white enemies." It suggested that he kill Mr. Herzog at night in his store with an axe, and make his escape thru the back door. If he failed to do this he was to be taken out and hanged to a limb, and if he gave it away he would be followed and put to death. After he completed the job, he was to be made a member of the "Black Brothers."

"Lily Black" Slip Virginia Republicans Bodily Eject Negroes (By the Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., July 28. What might be regarded a political tempest has hit the State of Virginia. The Negro element of the Republican party in this neck of the political woods is veritably up in arms. This branch of the organization has been literally thrown flat on its back by the "lily whites," who appear to have the right ear of the National organization. Get in Line or Scat, is Harding's Administration Slogan (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28. — President Harding has made a great discovery. He has discovered that a Republican administration cannot build up a strong, going, sympathetic, functioning organization by the use of leftover Democrats. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Therefore, he has been laying aside the attitude of good fellowship and has been recently letting the heads of all departments know that all persons not actually in sympathy with the plans, program and policy of the administration, must "scat."

National Negro Business League's Success Questioned by the Public (By the Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—What is the matter with the National Negro Business League? That is the question being asked by a number of people in various parts of the country. Some months ago the local Business League began in earnest to prepare for the annual meeting. A strong organization was effected, and there is at present a paid secretary of the local branch who is helping to push matters for the coming annual session. Where is the trouble? The trouble seems to be in the official make-up of the National body. There seems to be a very serious tension, if not friction, between leading officials of that body, each of whom have their own ideas and ideals concerning the promotion of the work of the League.

Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, past of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, at the second section of the Midsummer Conference for Ministers in the Union Theological Seminary. Dr. Coffin said that "the great curse of the country today is uniforming preachers," and he proposed remedies for ministers who teach congregations nothing. "People are staying away from church because they learn nothing," he said. "They hear things that they already know. Many congregations are bored because they can predict beforehand what the minister is going to say." TENTH ST.

TO THE BYSTANDER FROM REV. HARRIS OF MONMOUTH ILL. Marshalltown, Iowa, July 16. My Dear Editor: I was informed today by the Rev. O. B. Smith and S. Johnson of Des Moines, a member of Dr. Bates' church of a resolution passed at the meeting of the Baptist concerning my conducting evangelistic campaigns in this state. Ask the Rev. Smith at Mason City how I could I have broken up his church when my congregation was all white people and all the conversions was white and the $410.12 raised was given by the whites. Ask him was we considerate enough towards him when we found him sick to give him the first two offerings requesting them to send it to him. Ask your state missionary if we did not give him a night to speak and also an offering for his work, and ask the trustees of the Negro Baptist church and its pastor, Smith, haven't they the receipts to show that all the bills were paid. Then if, this be true, why turn to a church association in Des Moines, and try to make a lightning bug convention of the Baptist of Iowa. I believe the Baptists at Waterloo will tell the truth about the meeting there. They will tell you that I gave $23 at one clip to them. chised Mor South--Raymond not given even as much chance as in the South, he formally revoked the lower court sentence of Roy B.

Sowed to the Wind, Reaps From Whirlwind The crazy and "to be pitied South" got an overdose of their medicine last week when the lynchcrats that they have welcomed for years lynched a white man. The K. K. Klan, that is the remnant of the rebels of the '60's, tarred and feathered a few, flogged a preacher and climaxed its activities by tarring and feathering a white woman. It seems as if all the things that the Negro has done to get those things stopped have been of very little good, but, at last, the old axiom comes true—"in order to catch a mule don't run after him, just get him started and he will run himself down, then to walk up and put the bits in his mouth without the least resistance will be easy." The American government may care little for the Negro's welfare, but, if it allows such to go on the cannibals in Africa, the heathens in other places, where missionaries are sent, will tell them to "go home" and civilize things in America.

An elephant had carried the burdens of his circus master regardless of hunger, thirst, cold weather and unmerciful flogging. One day he awoke and realized if he could carry tons and tons from city to city with his great strength he could use that strength securing liberty, freedom and his rightful inheritance. For a few hours he dispersed the crowd, tore down cages, and his master experienced a hard time conquering him, and now there is no question about it, the elephant gets "brown skin" treatment. The American Negro needs to wake up. Don't talk your business and other folks' business so blame much, thereby proving to be your own worst enemy. Remember, a still tongue makes a wise head and sometimes a well head. You have been very liberal in your various contributions of blood and treasure for the safety and welfare of others; don't be a slacker or shirker when the interests of your own race are at stake. Stop fattening frogs for snakes and prove your own worth. Don't always expect some one to hand you a bag of free peanuts, but busy yourself and change your status from that of a liability to that of an asset. Practice economy, honesty, fairness, truthfulness and let the Golden Rule be your motto; cut out lying, backbiting, and other evil habits; learn and put into operation racial teamwork, cooperation and co-ordination of forces. Buy homes, beautify them, enhance their value, prove yourselves law-abiding and loyal citizens and protect your home and family at any cost. Stop all these white collectors calling at your home and addressing your wife and daughters as "Mary," "Sallie," etc. Go yourself in person and pay the bills. Learn that what affects one colored man or woman, despite his or her low or high station, affects the entire race. If all those elephants had followed the example of old Jumbo in the aforementioned incident, a new day would have dawned for the entire herd. But because they were too cowardly to follow his example they will spend the balance of their days as "old elephants"—nothing previous; while Jumbo has been branded as an "impertinent, impudent, sassy, hot-headed, radical, dangerous, bigoted and trouble-starting animal. But he receives "brown skin" treatment, lest he create a very unpleasant situation again. Because Jumbo sought liberty and freedom, his rightful inhermore as American citizens, conilitance, he became a "menace" in the eyes of those who are enriched by his slavery and service. Provoke no disturbances within or without the race and as the apostle exhorted in the apostolic days, "As much as lieth within you, live peacably with all men." Stop considering yourself so much as the colored race and easy matter for us to exert and tending with every vestige of manhood for all rights and privileges guaranteed Americans under the Federal constitution. Don't think that everybody that grins in your face, despite his hue, is your friend or interested the least bit in your progress and welfare.

HARRIS --- THE BYSTANDER, DES MOINES, IOWA DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE © MARY GRAHAM BONNER "There are some creatures," said Mother Toad, "who are most peculiar, but in spite of that fact I like them." "What is peculiar about them and who do you mean?" asked Mrs. Teddy Toad. "Well, people are funny," said Mother Toad. "Mothers only have a mere handful of children about them, a mere handful." "I've never seen them carrying their children upon their hands," said Mrs. Toad. "Sometimes I've seen them carrying one baby in the arms, or one child upon the shoulders, but a lot of children in the hand—never. "How then do you say that they have a handful of children?" "I mean," said Mother Toad, "that they don't have thousands of children like I do. I didn't mean they carried their children around in their hands, but that they don't have enough to count so that they would amount to a good number. "I, you see, have thousands, and so do you. "But even though I am so different from people I like them. They're strange and tall and they walk instead of hop and they eat roast beef and ice cream instead of slugs and worms and little insects, but still I like them." "So do I," said Mrs. Teddy Toad. "You see," said Mother Toad, "I think creatures are absurd who only like those who do just the same and think just the same as they do themselves. "That's where I am different and I love folks lots better and have lots better a time because of that. Just suppose I said, 'No, I don't like her; she wears dresses, whereas I, the toad, do not.' Now, wouldn't that be absurd? "Toads help people because they like them. They do a lot of good work in the gardens, just quantities of good work, and upon the farms, too." "But I haven't much use for folks who're always disliking everyone who doesn't think the same and stress the same and act the same as they do. 'They miss so much joy out of life, and, besides, people who want everyone else to agree with them are so conceited. They have the manner as though they knew it all and were the only ones who were right." Over Twenty-One—"Do you think women should propose?" Young Thing—"I don't know.

A. Holcroft plantation, ten miles west of this city, is dead, and those on the Holcroft farm believe his death was due directly to separation from the gander. Since last fall, when the ox lost its sight, the gander had acted as personal guardian of its huge, helpless friend. They were in constant association—the gander always present to fight away other cattle, on the spot when the ox needed a drink at the nearby pasture creek, and alert to every chance to give service. Recently it became necessary to transfer the ox to another field. The gander was unable to follow. It was unused to the new environs and a separation resulted. It was too much for the ox. He pined the first afternoon and drooped and gloomed the following day and finally lay down and died. And thus ended one of the strangest friendships on record. SEMINOLÉS UNIQUE TRIBE INTERNATIONAL In the heart of the Florida everglades, shunning civilization and retaining traditional customs centuries old, live the remnants of the once mighty nation of Seminole Indians. In many respects their mode of living is still the same as it was before the time of Columbus. The present members of the once famous nation are descendants of that invincible tribe led by the warrior chieftain Osecola. The Seminoles are kind to their families, devoted to their children, pure in their morals and honest among themselves and with the whites. The present members of the tribe do most of their trading in Miami and vicinity, disposing of furs, trinkets and other products. It has often been said that the Seminole lives the ideal simple life. In the everglade villages efficiency, competition, etc., are unknown quantities. In 1917 the state of Florida granted the Indians 1,000,000 acres as reservation lands. The photograph shows a Seminole mother and child. Note the unique headdress and the great amount of beads. Hears From Son Supposed to Be Dead, Trenton, N.

Fake Fire Alarm Brought 44,000-Word Sentence For turning in a false fire alarm, a fourteen-year old boy of Houston, Tex., was sentenced in juvenile court to write 1,000 times before April 21 the following: "I realize that it is against the law to turn in a false alarm and understand why. It costs the city a large sum every time fire engines respond to a call. Moreover, every time there is danger that some one may be hurt." His accomplice got a similar task. Each must write 44,000 words as his punishment. European kings who use to keep their crown jewels locked up now have them hocked up.

How could a man say with flowers what he feels like saying when he is digging out dandelions? The number of notes flying around the globe must make it hard on the international stenographers.

Send all orders 1413 PENN AVE. BAL. --- Greensboro, Ala.-The blind ox, famous as the protege and ward of a stately gander on the J. A. Holcroft plantation, ten miles west of this city, is dead, and those on the Holcroft farm believe his death was due directly to separation from the gander. Since last fall, when the ox lost its sight, the gander had acted as personal guardian of its huge, helpless friend. They were in constant association—the gander always present to fight away other cattle, on the spot when the ox needed a drink at the nearby pasture creek, and alert to every chance to give service. Recently it became necessary to transfer the ox to another field. The gander was unable to follow. It was unused to the new environs and a separation resulted. It was too much for the ox. He pined the first afternoon and drooped and gloomed the following day and finally lay down and died. And thus ended one of the strangest friendships on record. SEMINOLÉS UNIQUE TRIBE INTERNATIONAL In the heart of the Florida everglades, shunning civilization and retaining traditional customs centuries old, live the remnants of the once mighty nation of Seminole Indians. In many respects their mode of living is still the same as it was before the time of Columbus. The present members of the once famous nation are descendants of that invincible tribe led by the warrior chieftain Osceola. The Seminoles are kind-to their families, devoted to their children, pure in their morals and honest among themselves and with the whites. The present members of the tribe do most of their trading in Miami and vicinity, disposing of furs, trinkets and other products. It has often been said that the Seminole lives the ideal simple life. In the everglade villages efficiency, competition, etc., are unknown quantities. In 1917 the state of Florida granted the Indians 1,000,000 acres as reservation lands. The photograph shows a Seminole mother and child. Note the unique headdress and the great amount of beads. Hears From Son Supposed to Be Dead. Trenton, N.

ADAMS Some women do not realize that a walking shoe wears better and appears well for a longer time if it is frequently polished. A new street shoe ought not to be worn much until it is polished once, for without the polish it is much more liable to be scratched than with a good polish. Rapedeal is this tree of the shoes. The oil of this tree forms the base of a treatment which has been successfully used in leprosy cases here. Fake Fire Alarm Brought 44,000-Word Sentence For turning in a false fire alarm, a fourteen-year old boy of Houston, Tex., was sentenced in juvenile court to write 1,000 times before April 21 the following: "I realize that it is against the law to turn in a false alarm and understand why. It costs the city a large sum every time fire engines respond to a call. Moreover, every time there is danger that some one may be hurt." His accomplice got a similar task. Each must write 44,000 words as his punishment. European kings who used to keep their crown jewels locked up now have them hooked up. So many girls paint now that you rarely find one who can hold the mirror up to nature. The unsinkable ship is being built in pairs in the British navy—perhaps for the last time. Gabrielle D,Annunzio is married. Oh, well, what could he do? Italy refused to fight with him. "But" is the greatest word in the diplomatic dictionary. As, for instance, "black is white, but—" It's hard to understand these men who throw a fit about the government throwing out the unfit. The peak of rents is believed to have been reached. The peak is when a tenant has a look in. It was an open winter, but the coal dealer is writing letters to try and make it a hard summer. How could a man say with flowers what he feels like saying when he is digging out dandelions? The number of notes flying around the globe must make it hard on the international stenographers. Name it and you can have it is no easy proposition when it comes to one of those Russian towns.
