So, far only a small proportlon-of the South Att lean negroes has been great ly. influenced by the whites. There are altogether between, five and six mil lion aborigines below the Congo Free State,, and I. .venture that those : em ployed in the mines, on the farms and in the cities will not number, all told, more "than three hundred thousand. f There are something like one hundred thousand in the gold mines. Kimber- ley had twenty thousand before ; our panic caused the . De Beers Company toT;eut down its labor force, "and there arer something like ten thousand' em ployed, in ;the great diamond mlne at Culunan. In all these places the na tives aro kept in compounds or walled inclQsur&T-and as far . as -those 4. con -nected with vtbe. diamond' mines -are concerned,, they are not allowed to go, outtide during the terms of their; con- tracta They must buy their food at the company shops; ! and, although . the ratea; there are low. : . the companies probably make a profit. Not long ago at a; meeting of the De Beers Company one of the officials stated what had be come jof the orofits -made' from . . the compounds that year, saying that "$$5,- ooohaa gone, to the sanatorium. l o,- OOO to the library. S15.000 to the) town halU- ilO.OOa to the school of .mines andJlO.000 ;to the Klmberley schools. schools. ;None of this money helped the natives -from whom It was, taken.

He replied "There Is ho trouble about that. If you "want to mash the face of a ne gro down.; here all you have to do is to see that' you get him- alone In one part; ef the workings. You can then treat hint as "you wilt and If he makes any complaint you can say he assault ed you. The- word of the' black man Is never taken here as against that of the "white man. and so we . can run things about as we please." " Kafrer Lands. . The Kafirs own land all over South Africa.' In "niany places "the land still belongs to, the chiefs, subject to the rights " of; their tribesmen, and the chief ; has no right tp sell or trade it away, in soutnern iinouesia tne na tive commissioners assign the land fur huts and grazing, giving each Kraai so much. "When Cecil Rhodes . died he ordered, that the! natives on his farms be undisturbed, and i large blocks of governnten lands have. been Set aside for agricUHture in different parts of Rhodesia, In Natal 'something like acres were transferred to a trust more, than fifty years ago, and this trust was to give all the rents and profits from it to, one tribe, A few years later another native trust was given two million acres, and this Is still administered -for the Ka nra or isaiau vvitnm tne last ie years the native lands - have been fenced off from those of .' the Euro peans, tana ine oounaanes peiwwn the 4 tribes defined. Itt that col ony about one-half of the ne groea . live . in kraais, on private lands, paying from 15 to 25 per hut to. the ownerB of their farms, which consist of from 1,500 acres to 5,000 aeres each. One of these farms will have a group of natives upon it, and the . group will be- goverened by its hereditary chief or head-man. Ev ery kraal will, cultivate from five to ten acres or .land and. the remainder is used for grazing in common.'1 . Jti a KafTer KraaL I had a good chance to see some thing of the wilder Kaffers during" my stay in Matebeleland and Bechuana- land, and I also met . strange tribes. who are allied to them; in Northwest ern Rhodessia. Nearly all the natives live in what are known as kraals. These are little mud villages, sur rounded by mud walls or fences of brUSh. '..'::-'V'.-"';.;: '; Among, the Zulus these Icraals are circular in shape, with the cattle pen In the center and the huts running around It In; Matabeleland they . are somewhat Irregular, and i in" other re gions', they . are' "built like a horse shoe, with a cattle kraal . near the opening. - The 'cattle are -nerded dur ing the day time and are always kept In the kraal- at night The kraal usually' contains all the houses ef the village;! These are ?of different shapes In different localities, In Matabeleland they consist of framework of twigs .woven together and fastened with mud, and In Zuzu land they are" thatehed down to the grotfnd, . In many parts of "Rhodesia the houses are1 made of a framework of sticks; smeared with the clay from the white aht hills. " This is a natural cement,' and. is used for all sorts of buildings. In that country the negroes have Igranerles of - mud. and they also' makeTpigeon houses of .
