AFRICA WAS BOER.LAND THEN.
For the Public.

For the Public
When the Zulu impis rolled
Ger the TransvaaFs Redeemed veldt,
Where, when Weeneen's tale was told
Silence-and the vultures-dwelt
Vultures standing on the ground
In black circles, ringed around
Many blue-eyed baby girl
Every tiny flaxen curl
Dabbled in her mothers blood
Africa was Boer-land then!
When the Zulu warriors beat
Through the laager's wagon walls,
And the bitter black defeat
Closed in slaughter that appalls;
When the Dutchman's dearest dear
Kissed the Zulu's shovel spear,
And fierce Chaka's tiger raids
Drank the blood of Christaian maids
Africa was Boer-land then!
Now the Christian empire waits
Hungry, fierce and menacing,
At the Dutchman's homestead gates,
Where the Rand Strand Mining Ring
Calls again the dogs Of war.
"We have trekked from shore to shore!
Trekked till we can trek no more!
Now at last We turn at bay
Where the rand-strand slopes away;
Visions of Majuba hill
Whispering to our memories still:
africa was Boer-land them"

Teaching Textile Work.

We are informed that it is the
intention of the directors of the
Southwestern Louisiana Industrial
School, which is to be located here,
to include in the curriculum of
that institution branch where tex
tile work will be taught. OF course
we have no idea that it will be es-
tablished on a very elaborate
scale, but it can be made adequate
to local demands, as the cotton
manufacturing industry will for
some time to come be in it's incipi-
ency in Louisiana.
As the future of the cotton pro-
ducing sections of Louisiana no
doubt greatly depends upon the
successful introduction of cotton
mills, the wisdom of providing for
textile department in the indus
trial school is clearly apparent.
The scope Of our information re-
garding what should and should
not be embraced in the curriculum
of an industrial institute is neces-
sarily limited, and we do not as
sumo to be competent to offer coun-
sci in this matter to men who are
immeasurably better Informed than
we, but we wish merely to express
the hope that instruction in cotton
weaving will be made feature Of
the school.-Lafayette Gazette.

Spinning Cotton al Home.

Not many days ago the Time:
heard prominent hill planter, who
lives at a thriving little railway
station not far from Shreveport
discussing the feasibility of buying
machinery for spinning cotton yarn
and attaching the same to his steam
gin plant.
He reasoned that by this means
he could employ his steam machin-
cry the year round. He generally
gins about 1900 bales Of cotton
during the season. He figures that
he can spin at least half that cotton
without even going to the expense
of baling it. The saving in bagglng
and ties will amount to quite an
item; the seed can be sold to the
oil mills or used for feed and fer
tilizer purposes as may be desired.
The yarn can be sold to the Har-
grove mill at Shreveport, or it ca.
be shipped to other mills, if neceS-
sary, for weaving. Then again, it
can be easily worked up into knitted
cotton goods of various kinds by
the addition of knitting plant.
1t is estimated that by handling
a 800 pound bale of cotton in this
way its value can oe enhanced from
$25, $50 or $50, to $75 to 800, and
the difference between these figures
will be left at home in wages to
operators and profits to the owners
of the plants.
Any community of thrifty farm
ers and planters can get together
and, by an expenditure of from
$4,000 to $4,000, can add such a
plant to any of the latest improved
modern gin plants. 1t is estimated
that a 1OOO-spindle plant of latest
and best style for spinning yarn
can be purchased at from $4,000 to
$35OO. All that is needed in addition
is a suitable building to put it in.
With one trained superintendent,
who fully understands his business,
the white labor of the surrounding
country can be speedily and quickly
trained to become spinning opera
tives, as it does not require long
training and exceeding great skill
to operate yarn-spinning machine.
With weaving machinery it is
somewhat different, although in
telligent white girls and boys soon
become expert operatives even at
weaving.
The young men who desire to
hold positions as superintendent
could be sent to textile schools and
then finished off in spinning plants
in North Carolina, Virginia and
other Southern States, where there
are numberless plants of this kind.
The gentleman spoken of has son,
and he is thinking of sending him
in the near future to master the
art of spinning raw cotton.-Shrere-

THE HEROES OF THE TRANSVAAL.


ure with our British cousins who
are much distressed by the fact that
Gen. Butler has been defeated
again in his advance upon the
Beers and this time forced to re-
treat to the south side of the Tugela
river. That Butler has been badly
beaten at every point in his cam
paign is fact the English news
papers cannot deny and the only
grain of comfort they can extract
from the situation is Butler man
aged to skedaddle to the south side
of the Tugela river with his army
stores. The failure Of the Beers
to attempt the capture of the stores
caused the military experts in Lon
don to pnt their heads together and
they reached the conclusion that
the Beers did not care to risk the
loss of men that might ensue in
pressing the retreat of Butler. This
opinion, however, is not shared by
number of the military authorizes
who believe that the Boer generals
have other plans and they include,
perhaps, the capture of Butler and
his entire outfit at one fell swOOp
so to speak. London Times in
very disconsolate tone declares that
the most carefully planned and ex-
ecuted movement of the campaign
has failed and continuing says: cit
can hardly be necessary to dwell
upon the extreme probability that
we shall learn a little sooner or a
little later of CAPTURE without
precedent in our military history, a
capture which has no parallel ex-
cept in the surrender of Yorktown" "
This will be sad reading for those
Americans-th God their num-
bers are few-who sympathize with
Great Britain in her efforts to over
throw a republic and destroy the
freedom and independence of a
people. The mass Of the Ameri-
can people, however, are hoping
almost against hope for the success
of the Beers and every victory they
win thrills every true American
heart. No American in whose veins
runs the blood of the heroes of 1776,
or who remembers how the British
armed the savage Indian tribes
against our forefathers and the
butchery and massacre of unpro-
ted families that followed the up
rising Of the Indians, can honestly
applaud the war England is waging
in the Transvaal.
The Beers are contending against
tremendous odds; they are strug-
Cling for home and self-government,
for liberty and their firesides and
although it seems inevitable that in
the end they will be crushed by the
almost unlimited resources Of their
powerful adversary every man who
is worthy to be called an American
will sympathize and if possible aid
in every way the cause Of the fear
less burghers of the Transvaal
whose incompatible courage is
challenging the admiration of the
world States.

THE NATIVES OF SOUTH AFRICA.
By EDGAR MELs, FORMERLY EDITOR OF THE
JOHANNESBURG DAILY NEWS.

Statisticians assert that there are
eleven hundred and fifty-one dis
tinctive tribes of natives in South
Africa, south of the Zambesi River.
Most persons who have lived in that
part Of the world will cheerfully
assert that this census is far below
the truth-if dialects and racial
differences count for aught. Rough
guesses place the number of natives
at from two to ten millions, but,
as a matter of fact, no one knows
even approximately their number.
This lack Of information~is due to
the propensities Of the natives.
Here to-day, there tomorrow, it
would take mightier hunter than
even the famed Selous to hunt them
all down.
The writer has seen the South
African native, commonly called
Kafir, in all his varying phases, in
his wild state, semi-civilized and
wholly so. He has seen the native
at his best and at his worst-un-
tainted by the touch of civilization
and soiled by it's proximity. And
through it all, the writer has
believed, and perhaps always will,
that the Kafir, whether Zulu or
Basuto or Bechuana or Swazie or
Amatonga or Matabele or any other
tribe, has good in him, just as
though his skin were white-and
bad too.
Summed up in few words, the
Kafir, in his uncivilized state, is an
overgrown child, with childish
foibles and shortcomings. But let
him learn the vices of civilization,
let him realize the evil there is in
him, let him discover that there is
a broad path leading to destruction
and you will find fully civilized
being, as capable in certain direc-
tions as is the white man.
It is q fact that where the Kafir
is permitted to dwell in primeval
ignorance, with none to warn him
against vices he knows nothing
about, he remains good Christian,
even though he is ignorant Of
doctrinal disputes and the meaning
Of higher criticism. It is equally
q fact that where he imbibes little
learning, especially knowledge Of
English, he becomes all that is
worst in human being.
A study Of the Kafir is a study of
the human being. And what is
more, he has been grossly and
shamefully maltreated. Space pre-
vents q recital of the wrongs of the
native, so to q dissertation as to
his idiosyncrasies and peculiarities.
It must be borne in mind that
the Kahr is very much unlike the
American negro. There is no blood
taint in the Zulu nor consumption
in the Matabele. Endowed with
. superabundance Of animal health
and q constitution untained Tin
most cases) by civilization, the
average Kafir is q magnificent
specimen Of humanity. And here
the difference between him and his
American ex-brethren asserts itself.
Put . Southern "darky," and q
Zulu side by side, and the differ
ence will be apparent to the most
casual observer. The skin Of the
Zulu il totally unlike that Of .
