know of the fair minded if it would
be justice to keep on making those
men pay by taxing them to pay for

keep up the roads for individual

but air, and then We have to exer-

that. There will be no free roads
to the people of Bath Co. There
will be to the people Of Rowan and

rity.
How many diamonds are stolen
under this system it is not possible
to say. The company claims that
twenty per cent. is thus lost, but
this is done to give an excuse for
the outrageous laws that prevail.
Every diamond must be req
tered and license obtained
keep it. Ii man finds a diane
on the street he must take it tot
police, who take it from him-dfiu
give him tenth of its value. An
unlicensed, unregistered diamond
is supposed 10 be a stolen one, and
10 have one in ones possession is
punishable with seven years penal
servftude, and this law is rigidly
enforced. There are quite number
of men, known as Illicit diamond
buyers, or l. ID. BIS, who make u
practice of buying stolen stones
from natives or others and SNUG
Cling them out of the country. When
the police suspect a man OF doing
this sort of thing they send a ma
tive to him with a fine stone. If
he buys it the native gives the po-
lice u signal and they rush in and
arrest him on the spot. This would
be bad enough if they usht only
practised thieves, but there have
been many cases where previously
innocent men have been tempt
ed from the paths Of honesty by
this means, in order to show the
energy and skill of the police. All
over Cape Colony these laws ex-
tend, and everywhere system of
espionage is encouraged by placards
Offering half the value of stolen
diamonds to any informer who en-
ables them to be recovered.
The border of the Orange Free
State is only fifteen miles from
Kimberley, and there are frequent
ly exciting races between the pO-
lice and some 1. ID. b. who is try
ing to make his escape. Once across
the line he is safe for the time.
Naturally many stories are told of
these races. One man was pursued
and Overtaken, but no diamonds
being found on him he was per-
mitted to 20. He crossed the Dor
der and then killed his horse and
took from its stomach package
of diamonds be had forced ii to-
swallow. Another very successful
thief used to smuggle out his dia-
mOnds one by one concealed in n
glass eye that he wore. Another
used to hide them under the skin Of
a dog that he took hunting with
him. And SO on, ad infinitum.
Women are the best smugglers, and
some are believed 20 have carried
on the work Systematically g
years un6esected. & NJ.
