Hal Scott Gives Narrowing
Account of Life in That
Far Country.
HAD TO EAT MONKEYS
Does Not Think Negro Race
Will Return to Africa.
From the Ocilla Dispatch.

u 1Ou OuO 0SAId bA0pdGCAs
Last Saturday Hal Scott, his
wife Rhoda Scott, their children,
Sweet, Tiny and Elijah Scott,
their daughter-in-law Josephine
Scott and her son. John Henry
Scott, arrived in Ocf11a from the
west coast of Africa.
In 1902, Howell Fuller and
eight others returned from AT
RIGA. They we're part of the lit
tie colony of ffty-six negroes
who left Ocilla, January I, 1902,
for the west coast of Africa, and
through the aid of white friends
were ena bled to return the same
year.
Hal Scott and his family, num-
bering seven, returned last SAT-
urday, after an absence of about
four years in the Dark Conti-
nent.
A Star representative had a
short talk with Hal, Wednesday.
He is a preacher and has always
had the reputation of being
truthful. We have not space for
the picture he drew of his father
land, but will give the most inn
portant points. He said:
For thirty years it was in
my head to go to Africa, and
when / became able I went. At
ter nearly four years over there
l am prepared to say, emphat-
ically, that do not like the cli-
mate, the people or the country.
The natives are low in civilization
and will steal every opportunity
they get. We couldn't under
stand them, and of course didn't
like them.
1.-THE negroes in the states,
who intend going to Africa are,
as I was, ignorant of how we'll
they are getting along.
Bishop Turner and Booker
T. Washington, who are advis-
ing the negroes to go to Africa,
west or south, are doing their
race a great injury-those of
them, at least, who take their
advice. When they go there
they will find employment hard
to get. Farm labor is paid from
twelve to twenty-five cents day,
while bacon is twenty-five cents
a pound, -four $1,000 a barrel,
and everything else in proper
ton.
Eyes, I have eaten monkeys.
Shot them out of trees just like
we do SO uirrels, and their meat
is very sweet-better to the taste
than bacon, though I could hard
ly eat it for thinking of the mon
key.
Soon after we reached Africa
we we're attacked with what the
natives called John Bull" fever,
and, first and last, this killed
twenty-six out of the fifty-six
that left Ocilla.
Hunger was no stranger to
us. Many a night my wife wet
her pillow with tears, crying for
bread. Casava and rice were
used for bread, and we had to
depend on monkeys and other
wild beasts for our meat. The
swamps cover all the land there
as thick, or more so, than are
the swamps along the 'Coochee.
aud it was very difficult to get
| within gunshot of the wild ami

II am done with Africa for
ever. Old Irwin will be my home

with the nine detained in
London, we are all out of Africa
except five. who are scattered
about along the west coast, some
of them six hundred miles apart,
but all living as far as I know.
England is trying to grow
cotton in South Africa, and she
wants laborers who understand
cultivating it. / desire to warn
my race against the schemes to
induce them to go there, where
the wages will be small, the eli
mate destructive of health and
where they will have to work for
white men just as they do here,
only they will work them nearly
to death and pay them wages
hardly sufficient to sustain life.
Better stay here and work for
the people you know, who treat
you kindly and will not let you
suffer if they know it,"
Hal cannot say enough against
Africa. 1t has been a costly
lesson to him in several ways,
but as he has been suffering
with the fever for thirty years,
the cure could be made only in
the way it was. He does not be-
lieve his race will ever return to
Africa.

One More Chance for Life.

II am writing at night after
my housework is done. I get

rich people and have pretty
home on the banks of the ST.
Johns river. All the yard is
surrounded by orange trees
The nurse aud l pull them off

all the vessels and boats come in.

R is so pleased with me, and
I have lovely place to work and
am feeling much stronger since
1 came and expect to stay right
here and-LIvE. E."
The above is an extract from
letter from one of the unfortu-
mates that has at last overcome
the many obstacles in her every
day life and with a desperate
effort clim bed one round higher.
With a heart overlooking with
gratitude to God and the kind
friends who stood by her, she
pours forth her song of JOY over
her victory.
Were we to tell you all the vi
cissitudes, all the awfulness, all
the pathos of the short span of
life of this one of His little ones"
it would have power to thrill you
beyond that of any novel. You
could-if you would allow the
crusts of prejudice to melt away
from your understanding-read
on the pages OF the history OF
that one life, deeds of hero
ism that were overshadowed by
deepest degradation. It is mar
vellous how the spark of the in
finite has flickered until seeming
1y extinguished, but now is stead
lily glowing with the light of
Gods undying love. Nothing
but love-never failing love
lifted that soul (from whom good
women shrank) from the mire of
pollution and placed it on the
Rock of Ages. All she needed
was chance-now she has it.
Drop the curtain over her past
and let no man nor woman dare
to lift it again.
