A council was held, ami It was decided that one of the white men must go ahead and prepare the way by arranging mailers with the black tribes. Mayor Hill was selected for the task, and his t'tlk dealt largely with the intimate knowledge of native Afriran life he acquired in his years of wandering through the continent4 his adventures with crafty and suspicious witrn doctors, chiefs and warriors and with diseases, wild beasts and insects. Today, he pointed out, the modern cities of South Africa are in close enn'act with a variety of humanity which is believed to he the most primitive on earth, the native Bushmen, tribes more primitive than the Negro warriors who time and again have nearly exterminated the white settlers. There are many millions of the native blacks, he said, but the Bushmen are rapidly becoming extinct.
