OF course, there Is all the filth and pow
erty there that one would expect from
an Arab settlement, but there is also
great wealth and culture there in the
French settlement. The French govern
the people. While there we attended
service with the Mohammedans AS best
we could we put on the holy slipper and
did what was required. My. These peo-
are to be pitied beyond any that I've
ever seen. They call these natives Moors,
but to mo they are real negroes. Some

Slavery was his best schooling If they
could all see this they'd stop "cussing"
