an available labor supply. He says
they do Well and that the wages paid
average about Sl.33 month per man.
He has about 10 white foremen, aud
something like 700 Hindoos. Somalis,
Nasal and other native Africans. The
Nasal are a stockraising people and
they are valuable upon the ranches, as
they know how TO care for cattle. They

from their own country have TO be fed;
but this costs only about 20 cents a

employed from the tribes nearby and
are allowed to 30 home every night

Most OF the farmers here use African

umns Of The Recorder If any one
sees fit to give a correct answer.
They claim that their taxes are
more than ever, and they think
that they are entitle to a longer
school term with the inereaae Of
taxation for several years, and
that supplemented by the Terrell
fund.
(From the best information we
can gather is that the Terrell
Fund is only used in Person for
the erection Of new buildings,
and cannot be used for general
expenses. One reason why Dur
ham county has a longer term
than Person county is posi-
bly, due to the fact that many
districts have a special tax for
that purpose. Ed. Recorder.)
