NEGRO DYING OUT HERE.
It's Only Hope is Emigration to A.
RIGA, Says bishop Turner.


Washington, Oct. S.-Bishop Henry NJ
Turner of Georgia is an enthusiast on the
subject of negro emigration-a movement
with which he has been closely identified
for several years. Eventually, he thinks
the discussion of the question will bring
about a grand exodus of negroes to Africa.
1t is emigration or determination, in his
opinion. lie said to-day in an interview:
africa is the negro's fatherland, and
the sooner he goes there the better for
him. Statistics show that he negro race
IS dying out, and it certainly is not grow
ing healthier, Weather, happier, wiser
or anything else which goes 10 make life
worth living. Africa proffers the greatest
poss. biities on earth for The negro TO en-
israte to, that is, if he has any idea of
being anything this side of the day of gem
eral account giving. Even nature is in
vokng the negro TO return to his God
given home. The trade winds which once
blew from 300 20 400 miles out at sea from
the west coast of Africa have mysterious
~ changed their course, and are now fan
ming the shores, moderaling the equato-
rial climate, dim nishing the heat ana
humidity and driving away the death
dealing fevers and malaria. l believe this
is the work of God preparing Africa for
the reception of her children who are suf-
ferlng in this country and who must re-
turn sooner or latep. II had $5,9O00O0 l
would invest every cent in ships, ana
would see that every negro who wished to
go 10 Africa got there. Now, some of my
people want to know why 1 do not go to
Africa and stay there, believe L am
needed here but the very moment l can
get $4,000 or 100000 negroes to go with me
am off like a quarter horse, and l will
think il the best days work l ever ac-
complished."
Has the African emigration movement
met with the approval Of a majority of
the racer"
mo. indeed; but. on the contrary, a lot
of ignorant negroes have opposed 1t from
its very inception. They prate about the
sickness of Africa and many other things
of which they are in dense ignorance The
thoughtful and intelligent of the white
race tndorse the emigra ton policy, and it
will YET prove a success and of untold
blessing to the negro race"
