AFRICAN COCOA PORTERS.
Head Loads and Barrel Rolling Feats
Of tho Natives.

Unusual and interesting is tho spec
taclc in the African Gold Coast country
OF the transport OF cocoa the bulk OF
the inland produce being carried by
portcrS to the railroad. Sometimes tho
roadways as far rs the eye can see are
one long line Of cocoa bags OH the
heads OF hundreds Of carriers.
This carrying trade has produced al
extraordinary flow of free labor into
the whole hintcriand of the Gold Coast.
At Adawso. Il buying station nearly hf-
teen miles from the rail head, one firm
alone employs in the season 5000 car
ricrS. who cover the distance TO the
rail station at Pakro once and frequent
~ twice Il day with Il 100 pound bag
of cocoa.
Many Of the native farmers within
thirty miles of Accrn prefer to sell
their cocoa ut q higher price at the port
OF embarkation and so have created
the interesting system Of "barrcl roll
ing" In the cocoa season strongly
bound and pOndcrous casks are flied
with the beans and rolled to the sea-
shore.
Travelling along the somewhat print.
tive roads one meets at frequent inter.
va!s pcrspiring natives struggling with
the barrel. which. filed with cocoa,
weighs considerably over n quarter Of
ton. AS rule, three mon roll two
casks, one relieving the other. Occa-
sionally the loss. due to accidents, Is
considerable. Argonaut.

Although it may look very strong, a
