The Liberian Colonists from South
Carolina, Georgia and other Southern
States, seem to be having a hard time
of it from the testimony of Laura Lane
of Georgia, who has returned home.
Laura says the natives are very hard
on newly born infants, stutilng their
mouths with red pepper and exposing
them to the scorching sun for an hour.
II they die under this heroic treatment,
it is considered the community arc
fortunate in getting rid of a pnny weak
ling. Added to that, they have II very
bad habit of administering extreme
punishment fo1 very small otfensc.
In fact the benighted African doesn't
seem to have the least idea OF gradatlons
of punishment.
One Of the emigrants Reuben Cayho,
according to the immenorlal custom OF
his father land, appropriated somebody,
trihiug possession to his own use.
The Africans didn't even give him
the benefit of doubt-judgc and jury
there were none. A big rock was tied
around his neck, and Reub was thrown
in river and told to float or sink. The
big stone settled the question inconti-
nently and in Laura's words, that was
the last of Reuben.'
One Of their modes of punishment for
criminal ot1enses is primitive, but must
be very ctfectual in knocking the breath
out of fellow more swiftly than hang
ing. They split peice Of timber by
wedges large enough to insert the head
of the condemned. The wedges are
knocked out, the timber closes, and be-
hold the matter is done.
Liberia does not seem wholesome
ground for our colored citizens, IT it IS
their old ancestral soil, some Of their
little ways do not meet with the ap-
proval of the natives, and they are
hampered at every turn in an attempt
to establish even an imperfect ciyiliza-
ton.
So far civilization has not agreed with
them at all. Those who went to Africa
are wild to return, those who went to
Kansas, are ten thousand times worse
off than when they were grumbllng
over Kuklux and BulldoZers and all tie
creations Of vivid Imagination. They
will find out perhaps when too late,
that they will never be as well Oft any
where, as in the Southern States.
The question with thoughtful people
is whether they will introduce higher
civilization into Liberia or whether in
the course of time, with their initiative
habits they will make the barbarous
customs of the natives their own, and
thus return to their ancestral condition.
