NEGROES OFF FOR
PROMISED LAND
Ten Blacks Take Families and
Leave for Liberian
Farms
Muskogee. Okla., Nov. 10.- The
exodus of negroes from eastern
Oklahoma to Liberia has actually
begun. Friday ten negro men. all
of them heads of families, with
their children aud baggage, left
in a party for Monrovia, Liberia.
Aside from whatever other pos-
sessions they carried with them
each head of a family had #100
in cash, which is set aside, as the
British authorities require that
amount before the negroes are al-
lowed to clear from Liverpool for
the promised land. They all ex-
pect to farm in Liberia.
This movement is the result of
much missionary work among the
negroes of Muskogee county An-
drew Lee is at the head of the
expedition. If this party is suc-
cessful and the njembers find con-
ditions satisfactory, there are 100
more heads of families who have
bound themselves to join the Am-
erican colony of negroes in Li-
beria. and ill addition to these
there are 2(H) more in the organi-
zation who claim they are ^eady
to quit the United States for a
negro state of their own. Curtail-
ment in political power is one of
the principal factors in the ne-
groes' decision to leave Oklahoma.
