1g men from Aldershot know any- 'thing of Abel Erasmus, of Lydenburg? Erasmus, wealthy and _ influential, Boer of the Boer partriarch of the lransvaal and Cape Colony, though of late years seldom heard of outside his

pwn district. Amongst the best Boer | families, as well as the back-veld dop- | pers, he is as great as, if not greater | than, Paul Kruger himself. The Presi- den hyprocriticai myth; Abel | Erasmus is a solid sinner. In the old | Transvaal, i.e., before gold was discov- |ered, or poison and intrigue were in- ced, Abel Erasmus was a power white men, one of the free-booters, and the terror As a Boer politician he is of the first rank, although his voice is never heard outside the executive.

| On the other hand, Paul Kruger in- variably seeks the advice of his most trusted friend, Abel Erasmus. Abel

Erasmus isa handsome grand old man, of fully 70 years, white hair and beard, with a soft, kindly expression lighting up a remarkably open face. His ap- standing fully six feet, is that of the finest type of a Boer farmer of the old school. The inner man of Abel Erarmus in many respects is ex- actly opposite. In his public capacity as Native Commissioner of a vast dis- trict he has ruled the whole native pop- ulation for 40 years and more witha rod of iron. For real villainy and bloodshed among all classes of natives under his “protection’’ he has not his equal in the Transvaal.

To mention the name of “Abel” to any native within his district is like a galvanic shock. Some fourteen years ago I lived on a high road sixty miles from Lydenburg. Troops of native cattle passed the door every week. On

inquiry I always learned they were going to Abel, with the everlasting fines of cows and calves imposed on every kraal. If an induna ora _head- man of a kraal was ‘‘sent tor” by Abel, the news casta gloom over all the kraals that district. As regards

the present Boer rebellion, Abel Eras- mus was inno way responsible. He always was farsighted enough to know not wise to quarrel with the British. Abel Erasmus is no friend of the Hollander moths. He has kept away from them as much as_ possible. When his advice was sought previous to the war, and the bulk of the Boer

farmers in the Lydenburg district were asked, they were mostly willing to grant the five year’s franchise, for

foremost—the Lydenburg landowners were well-to-do farmers, contented, and the Uitlanders working in the gold mines were their best customers. When the time arrives for our troops to advance into the Transvaal Abel Erasmus will no longer sit passive. His iron will, prudence and vastexperience 1n handling Boers will cause him once again to take a prominent part in the defence of his country. All the more, because he is well known to the British Government for his de- linquencies and celd-blooded murders of natives inthe past. His brother, forebooters, Groot Adrian de la_ Roy, Van Pittin, and Van Niekirk, of Be- chuanaland and Stellaland fame, have all departed. ‘Austral Africa— Los- ing it or Ruling it,” by John Mac- kenzie, is the best expose ot the Trans- vaal’s struggle in South Africa.

The Ohrigstadt laager is so called because it is the oldest and strongest position taken up by the early-trek Boers going north from Cape Colony and Natal. From 60 to I1eo years back the Transvaal was inhabited im districts by Basutos, other native tribes, like the Zulus, raiding them. The -emigrant Boers’ hands were against all, capturing their cattle and

The soil is alluvial, producing, with primitive methods of cultivation, grain, forage, tebacco —in fact everything re- quired, and the hills affoard excellent pasturage for Boer horses, cattle and sheep, summer and winter. The val- ley is even now fairly populated by straggliag Boers “sweated” by Abel Erasmus, and many well-to-do natives, all of whom have fruit gardens. The natural advantages for a strong defend-
