Magician of Africa Is
Respected BY Natives

In nearly every district in South
Africa there is generally some old ma
tive who is a descendant of former
witch doctors, to whom the surround
ing natives go for advice. He is the
"thrower of bones" And it is an in
stance of the childlike faith and SIM
plicity CT the natives that they firmly
believe in the magic of this man.
He Is usually very old man, with
teeth black from smoking "dagga" "a
kind of hemp), face all lines and
wrinkles, and eyes that are coppered
with the pale blue film of great age
He wears bangles and charms and
strips of lizards skin on his arms and
wrists and always the same old col
ored blanket with jackars tails on the
border.
The natives from far and near con-
suit him on many matters-causes OF
sickness, death and loss of stock. And
his fee may be a fowl or a sheen o,
half bag of grain or even in some
cases heifer.- Datrott News

The detective came a little further
into the light. He was attired in an

FORTY-MILL LIMIT
PROMOTER VISITS
A. Nj. Fitz Comes to Kennewick in
Interest of Initiative Meas
ure No. Fifty

A. M. Fitz, of Seattle, member Of
the ways and means committee Of
the Northwest Realtors, visited Ken
newicl yesterday in the interest of
Initiative Measure No. SO known as
the 40-nlill tax limit bill.
The proposed initiative measure
differs from the taxation bill which
was debated in the last Legislature
in that it carries only one section
merely providing that the aggregate
OF all tax levies upon real and per-
sonal property by the state, county,
school district and city or town shall
not in any year exceed forty mills on
the dollar of assessed valuation and
that the assessed valuation shall be
fifty per cent of the true value of
the property. IL H.
No attempt is made to provide new
sources of revenue. The sole purpose
of the proponents of the bill is to
limit the tax on property leaving it
to the legislature to devise ways and
means or raising the revenue lost
through fixing the limit.
Mr.. Fitz says there is little hope of
getting many signers on the initia-
tive petition from the rural districts
of the state because very few vot-
ers in these districts have registerd
and, consequently are not eligible 10
sign the petition. EN 1r"

that slavery shall not be permitted
to exist in any State or territory;
that no one shall be deprived Of life,

provisions made by the people be tyr
amy, then the Supreme Court when
