The most conservative town in South Africa is said to be Richmond, in Natal. A colporteur has been selling Bibles and religious literature in almost every town in the Gape Colony and the Free State, but it has been left to Richmond to interdict the sale of these. Waggons passing through Richmond with brandy are not prohibited from selling, provided the quantity is not less than two gallons to each customer. Colporteurs, however, are interdicted from selling Bibles. Perhaps the sale of the latter would have a depressing effect on the sale of the former, observes a Capo contemporary.
