PE0PLE0F SOUTHERN NIGERIA
Native Tribes Acknowledged to Be Of
-, Ancient Lineaee-Possibiy Of ,,
- Semitic Decent. - $780,

=, Yorubas are series Of negro tribes
living in. the Lagos district Of the
western province of southern Nigeria.
They are. an Interesting people Of very
ancient lineage, but little heard Of
since slavery was abolished. Their
part OF Africa was long called the
slave coast, and the Yorubas were the
most valuable slaves brought to the
South In early days. They are Of
true Ethiopian stock, but among them
are found many with lighter skins and
Caucasian features, denoting strain
Of Hamitic or Semitic descent.
They have only primitive folklore
tradition, but the lighter skin Is an
old heritage. and was commented up
on among the southern slaves by early
colonial writer's, before there was any
admixture Of white blood among Amer
lean negroes. The whole YOruba pop
ulation Is divided between. farming and
city life, one of their cities having
sometimes population of 10000.
Many Of the towns are walled and
look rather like pre-Biblical or Old
Testament strOngholds. YOrubas, how
ever. are not wrlike. They will fight
only defensive wars, and all attempts
to get any Of them into the late war
met. with failure.
Pottery, weaving, tanning, dyeing
and forging are their chief. industries
in the towns, and they do some ex-
porting and importing. Alphabetically
speaking, they are seff-supporting, and
their farming implements, while prim-
tive, are adequate. The white visitor
is surprised at their houses and their
tribal government. Large houses
= abound The dwelling of chief will
sometimes have 50 rooms, well built
and adorned with carving represent
