TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, AL
BAMA,
Especial to Bystander.)

(SpeCldl TO bySCanQer.)
The Editor.-Dear Sir: l send you
the following, relative to lynchings for
the first six months of the year. l find
according to the records kept by Mon
roe N. Work, head Of the division of
records and research of the Tuskegee
Institute, that in this period there
have been fourteen lynchings. This
is eleven less than the number, twen-
ty-fve, for the first six months of 1916
and twenty less than the number,
thirty-four, for the first six months
the bravery of officers of the law and
of 1915. In ten instances, through
by other means, mobs were thwarteo
and lynchings prevented.
Of those lynched, thirteen We're Ne
groes and one was white. Four of
those put to death, one white and three
Negroes, were charged with the crime
of rape. One of those put to death
was Negro woman, reported to have
been of unsound mind, who in resist
ing arrest wounded an officer of the
law.
l gather from reading Negro news
papers and from other sources that in
spite of the notable decrease in the
number of victims of mob violence for
the six months, the horrors connected
with the recent burning at the stake
near Memphis has increased among
Negroes the fear of lynchings and ac-
CELEBRATED their migration to the north.

PRINCES SHALL COME OUT OF
EGYPT.
6Sth Psalm, 31st verse

Ootn TSdlIIl, O1SI SeISe.
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her
hands unto God. Just few words to
my Ethiopian friends. In beginning l
am saint, sanctified on February s.,
1914. God anointed me, gave me 21st
chapter of St. Luke and wisdom to
write it into a song; also gave me the
tune, which was the tune, praise His
Name" He told me to 60 into the
world and preach the gospel to the
Ethiopians; tell them to write and to
have unity and charity bank.
To name the bank, The Lord Our
Righteousness, and instead of presi-
dents, ice, etc, to have officers named
king and queen. However, since that
time l have endeavored to make this
message known, and reach my race, so
on my arrival to your city this mes
sage still hangs heavy on my mind, as
Gods will must be done, beloved, l am
trying to get the race to see Gods
words. Speak to the Philippians; tell
them to unite. Does this seem to COM
pare with the 68th Psalm, 31st verse.
Several months ago, after battling
with this work alone, I found it al
most impossible to 60 further, but one
evening while asleep God came to me
in this manner: On a very high hill
stood a man, who represented the u.
S. as he stood at the top Of this high
hill, one foot on land, the other was
about to let down in this deep preci-
pice and at the very rock bottom of
this hill were our mothers, wives, chill
dren, penniless, some sick, some lame,
little infants crawling about the floor.
The foot on land had the word WAR;
the foot as he made the step the word
death" was written, and as this ap-
peared voice said, "And who will
help to take care of these"
Beloved God has anointed me today.
l am endeavoring to keep the faith for
His names sake.
At our 25th infantry printing press
is book, Unity and Charity" to be
sold at $500 a book for the benefit of
this work. One-third of the $500 will
be for the Lord Our Righteousness.
Why say one-third, the other is to be
spent for the printing Of the book.
Five hundred books will be given away
to establish this work. Some of the
men at Fit. Des Moines are in that
number and others away are now wait
ing anxiously to read one Of these
books, which l expect them to receive
about a month from now, as the book
is for print in Schofield Bks., Homo,
H. T., among the 25th men. l delight
to have sinners to be interested in
printing Gods message, for his glory
and uplift of his kingdom.
This book will be sent to anyone on
receipt of $500 and your name en-
tered on the record book.
l have found thorns and briers
among the "Unity and Charity" path,
but the 21st chapter of St. Luke has
in the beginning told it all to me.
