Tribes Of That Country, H-is Said, An
Accepting tho Teachings eof the
Missionaries,

Plenyono Gbe Wolo, Liberian OF
the Kru tribe, who graduated from Co
lumbia university. says:
There never has been scientific
census of Liberia, but the population
is estimated at from 100000 to $780,
600, and mot more than $4,000 are
Americo-L -Liberians, the descendants OF
liberated slaves. The remainder be-
long to tribes which speak four differ
ent languages and offer only nominal
submission to the government. The
Krus elect theic kings by the selection
of the most available man Of the royal
house. In the .Jarroway tribe the King
is an absolute monarch for the reign
of six years, sand is then put to death.
Other tribes also follow different Gus
toms.
The tribes do not acknowledge the
government Of Monroyia, because they
feel that it does not protect them. BY
treaty the United States government
is required to help the Americo-Libe-
rians against the tribes, and in 1917
this country helped put down a rebel
lion of the krus.
The constitution Of Liberia has a
Iiteracy test, which has heretofore ex-
Guided most of the natives from -vot-
ing, as the central government is un-
able to undertake their education. The
!, Girbas are being taught by Episcopal
';nissionaries, and the Fulingos, who
are Mohammedans, are also gaining
the franchise. The krus are very am
bilious and are also catching up. There
are more than so Liberians Of the na-
tive tribes studying in the United
States.

Mayor Jennings Calls On Citi-

,,:4o. ;.-:.>:t. f.->
notice in your paper Of a few dass
ago that the committee had -1lef
found sufficient homes for: the Con-
federate Veterans.
certainly was surprised to see this
because J thought every one would
take pleasure in entertaining for TIVE
days one or more Of thee4old iVeter-
ans. Certainly the call Of the .ccm-
raittee for homes must have been
overlooked, as / cannot bring Hayself
to believe there is any who would mot
be willing to ineonvenience.the themselves
for this short time in order that we
may have the pleasure of.being hon
ored by being allowed TO entertain
one or more of these md Sid he.
roes @ .@s-s
Surely Sumter people will not .be
less attentive to these Veterans than
the people Of other places which have.
had the privilege of entertaining them
/! in their annual meeting. We cannpts
have this privilege much longer as
!! they will soon be passing to the great
/ beyond to join the ranks of those wAa
have already gone, and then it wifisbe
too late to do ourselves henor-by esf-
tertaining them while they are guests
in our midst. 80
AS a. citizen and as Mayor, most
earnestly request that all of you who
can possibly do so will notify the com
mit1ee at once how many OF these.
Veterans, you will entertain during
their stay in Sumter. Don't tel-.the
committee you will entertain them by
boarding them at some boarding
house, but take them in your hosaas
and I ann sure you will be the benefi-.
ciary thereby. -
Yours truly,
L. D. Jennings,
