NEGROES FOR SOUTH DAKOTA.
1t is Said That Number of Southern
Coored Men Come North.

Sioux City, Sept. 2S.-From Chica-
so and Fort Worth, Tex, comes the
news that with the race riots as an
incentive and fearing attacks through
out the south, fully 10000 negroes in
the state are making preparations to
emigrate to South Dakota, where it is
said they are planning to establish
themselves in a self government col
ony. 1t is said that South Dakota is
encouraging the project.
Inquiries today by telephone to
Yankton failed to disclose any plan on
the part of the business men of Yank
ton or southern South Dakota to en-
courage a large number of southern
negroes to move to South Dakota
though it is stated that there are Ger
tainly opportunities enough in South
Dakota to give every negro in the
south who comes north a good home
if he is Industrious enough to care
for it.
In the large Texas cities the ne
groes are being urged to come north
by immigration agents and promoters
who are taking advantage of the pre-:
ent riots.
