HIGH PRICES FOR DIAMONDS
Value Of the Highly Desired Sparklers
Has Been Soaring to Unheard-
Of Heights.

The economic situation Of the world
at large is said by jewellers to be
more responsible for the present high
prices of diamonds than any shortage
of diamonds in the South African
mines or any manipulation of the out
put by the De Beers Diamond COM
pany.
The following figures concerning dia-
mond prices were obtained from Ant
werp, the European center of the dia-
mond market. An uncut diamond be-
fore the war cost $23 carat and $50
after cutting. Immediately after the
declaration Of war, the price slumped.
In 1915 the Germans began to get
nervous regarding the value of paper
money and started buying all the dia-
monds they could find.
France, Switzerland, Italy and Eng
land followed suit and the price went
up rapidly. On the eve Of the armis-
tice, an uncut carat diamond was
worth $40. Since the war ended, the
diamond market has doomed. owing to
the depreciation of European money,
the difficulty of exchange and the en-
barge on the export of currency from
one European nation to another. To.
day a carat of uncut stone finds a
ready market at $3.50.
The Antwerp merchants no longer
seek customers. The market Is swamp
ed with buyers. Credit is no longer
given. The sales are for cash. The
buyer frequently resells and the new
purchaser sells again at fat profits
Thus the price keeps going up. Large
stones are snapped up at unheard Of
prices.

NEARLY $4,000 RAISED BY BISH-
OP PHILLIPS AND ALABAMIANS
IN SEMI-CENTINNIAL CELEBRA-
TION OF COLORED METHODISM.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 23.--Led
on by that peerless financier and
leader, Bishop Charles Henry Phillips
of Nashville, Tenn, the G. NJ. Els.
of Alabama have just concluded the
most remarkable single financial
campaign recorder among Negro re-
ligious bodies. Not in promises or
pledges; not in checks or notes, nor
in mere reports" as in some quar-
tiers, but in actual cash upon the
table, aided by the small Kentucky
and Ohio and California Mission
Conferences, nearly $4,000 was rails
ed as memorial offering for the so
years of marching of Colored Meth
odism.
This church was organized so
years ago and the Semi Centennial
celebration of the event took place
at Thergood c. A. L. Church last
week. Prominent lay members and
ministers from all over the country,
together with large body of women
were in attendance. Speeches, adj
dresses, songs and "reminiscences by
the leaders both old and young con-
stituted the program. Bishop Phil
lips, who was the prime mover and
bishop of this district, delivered the
principal address. dwelling largely
upon the triumphs of the church
from 1870 to 1920.
Starting in the South, he said,
nearly every State in the Union, and
even mission fields in Africa, now
have a home church for the host
of miles. He paid glowing tribute
to the late Bishop l.. H. Holsey, who
was senior bishop of the church from
1873 to 1920, serving actively for
AZ years, the longest service of any
bishop in the history of Methodism.
Bishops w. II. Miles, r. H. Wander
horst, j. A. Beebe, G. w, Stewart ana
M. F. Jamison are the gallant dead; ;
while the living bishops, besides
Bishop Phillips. are: R. S. Williams,

Springs, Miss. Isaac Lane, Jackson,
Tenn; R. A. Carter, Chicago ILL.,
and N. c.. Cleaves, st. Louis, Mo
AS these lines were written, over
$65,000 cash dollars were contributed,
and when the scattering reports are
in, at least $4,000 will be piled up.
making the celebration a gigantic
success.

trict are all smiles.

IMMIGRATION is INCREASING.

close the fact that foreigners are
now coming into the United states at
the rate of more than 20,0O0 per
month, or 100000 year. This great
influx is on, despite the pressing con-
ditions in Europe, where man power
is at the minimum, and millions are
needed 10 help rebuild the countrle5
destroyed by the war
Reports are also, being circulate IN
various parts/of the South to the ef-
feet that 100000 Mexicans are to be
impoorted into various southern
states in order to take care OF the
farm work and other Industrial needs
brought on by the marvellous influx
Of Negroes into northern states.
Leaders, organizations and govern
ment departments. having in charge
the economic welfare OF the country
are studying with great interest the
various phases of these new move
ments. Every encouragement is be-
ing given, 1t seems. to immigration
despite the recent immigration law
passed by Congress. Some go so far
as to say that the underlying motive
der to throw thousands of Negroes
out of employment in the North, so
that they will return to the south
If there is any such motive It Is
not believed that it will succeed,
however. Careful investigation by The
Associated Negro Press in every Sec
ton Of the North to which the race
has migrated, discloses the fact that
more than ninety per cent of the EN- :
ployers are entirely satisfied with Ne
gro labor. They give among the reas-
ons for satisfaction the following; The
Colored employees are 100 per cent
American; they speak our language
and no Interpreter is reuuired: they
| do not seek 20 foment strife and
strikes; they are hard and faithful
workers. and the majority of them
are saving their money and buying
homes,
On the other hand. IL is pointed out
that II rs necessary for every mem
Der of the race to be on guard for
his own betterment. After all, ii is
stated. employment is economic and
, not sentimental. Regardless of how
| sympathetic employers may be, eff
c,orcr IS the watchword and II the
! employees do not measure up there Is
b.t one thing left to do, make
! change.
| Organizations OF all kind are urged
to preach this d ,ctrine t. the people
and impress on them the Importance
| of always seeking to better their con-
! dition. Extravaganza and vice are
| frowned upon, and honest workers are
urged to beware OF the crafty people

and flourish by thor wits and the
