noted by Paul l.. Scott, Mitchell is
to become the mecca for 100. 600 col

man who is engaged in business here
that of a cafe, and is meeting with
great success.
Mr.. Scott was a former resident of
Chicago and was the vice president
of the first organization that favored
the election OF Charles S. Deneen for
governor.
While in Chicago some time ago
Mr.. Scott began the agitation Of the
formation Of a company to give relief
to the thousands and thousands OF
colored people living in the cities,
and in connection with a reference to
this scheme Mr.. Scott's picture was
published in the Chicago Record
Herald Of Sunday.
1t is his purpose to organize a COM
pany Of South Dakota people to pro-
cure control Of extensive tracts Of
land in this section OF the state,
which are to be sub-divided into So
acre farms, and these will in time be
sold to colored people.
He is confident that he can inter-

men in his proposition who would be
glad indeed to give up a hand to
mouth existence in the cities for a
home of independence on the farm.
