Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 05.10.1876 Proper date: 05.10.1876 Description An account of the resource They are using an asphalted sheet as a temporary roof for the chapel. Over labour and labour troubles; all their Larteh people have left them at the end of August – their most skilled, most hard-working, and most reliable men. Only one skilled mason remains. They have to pay him 2/-per day, most of it has gone on rum. The Begoro people are very angry with him. It was hunger which drove the Larteh people home, so there is some hope that they will return, though there is some danger also that they will find work with the government. Shortage of foodstuffs is widely felt however, not only in terms of meat supplies but also plantains. Palmwine is the only thing in good supply. The trouble seems to be that during the Asante war they did not make any more farms in Begoro. In August they had a strike of their unskilled labour force. At the beginning they had paid the boys a half-dollar each week. But quite soon the supply of labour outstripped the demand in this particular field, and although each Monday they took on 30-40 boys they had to send many away without work. They were thus able to reduce the wages, taking people who were willing to accept 1/3d per day. On Monday 21 August no boys came to work, and they soon heard that the youth of Begoro had sworn an oath or made a law that no further work should be done unless the old payment of 2/3d per week was revivied. Anybody working for the missionaries would be fined 2/3d. The missionaries carried on for two weeks without these people (they seem to have worked especially with the masons). Then they tried to get individuals who wanted to work, to come to work, but they were punished. Mohr got the chief to call them to him and tell them to go back to work, but they said they would not. Mohr then took steps to make a formal charge against them (he explains to the reader that to do this one gave accusation money to the chief, and they were reimbursed by a like sum being fined from the defendant if he were found guilty; it is not clear exactly what the charge was). The accusation money in this case was one dollar and the four ring-leaders were called to answer the charge. The palaver was a long one and Mohr stated in it that he was concerned to see the 4 ringleaders punished because they had prevented people who wanted to work for 3d a day working, and had punished some who had worked. He wanted to see their law against working for less than 6d per day repealed. He also pointed out that it was a pity for Begoro itself that all work had stopped on the station - it turns out from a parenthetical comment that Mohr had forbidden any Begoro man from working on the station unless he brought a boy with him. This failed however, because the older ones were the plaything of the young ones. He went on to ask the king as his friend if it were not true that by his own free will he had come from Europe because the Begoro people wanted a mission station - and whether he had not done good for the town, teaching people to do work they had never done before, and paying them for their work? He could also point to people standing around the palaver place by name, and asking them how much they had earned each day explained to the king that some people were skilled, some people were unskilled but hard-working and reliable, and some were unskilled and lazy. He made his point, and the boys came back to work to scales of 3d daily for boys, 6d daily for men, 9d daily for people on particularly demanding work like stone breaking, and digging up Odum stumps. Lawyers and Masons from other towns are paid 1/- and 2/- Discussing the building of the Christian community Mohr says that in view of Glatzle's illnesses in this third quarter all the baptismal instruction has been undertaken by the catechist. He has instructed the catechist to lay especial emphasis on reading, so that all Christians can read the Bible. He is not sorry to see' people proceeding slowly to baptism; as he has more experience on the station he knows more and more about -the mistakes and failings of the people, and so can give them more and more pointed instructions. In any case several of the baptismal candidates will have to be struck off Ewabena Dako, for example, -has slept with two of the king's wives, and has been fined 36 dollars. This is an impossible sum, and he will find it hard to turn back. Kwasi Kuma, an apprentice carpenter, had never made a good impression. Though outwardly friendly he has a streak of the barrack room lawyer,-and-is in his element playing the master. At his first announcing himself as a baptismal candidate he said he had only one wife from whom in any case he had been separated for a long time. But now Mohr has heard, quite by coincidence that he is.maintaining his wife in Begoro and has another in Asiakwa. Also he is often drunk, and one Sunday beat Catechist Obeng in the public street, on the grounds that Obeng was giving him a bad name with the missionaries. (Obeng asked to be allowed to lay a charge against the man in Accra, Mohr thought it better to send the matter to the General Conference, and for them to send it on the Accra. The British Commandant has sent Obeng a present, and Kuma a sharp warning.) On the other hand the small community of the already baptised gives the missionaries much joys, and stands on its own feet in deciding what is best, and they give also to announce the reacceptance of a Christian previously excluded. Timotheo Late, from Lartey, Glatzle’s main support in the carpentry shop. He was excluded a time ago from the Larteh congregation by Asante, for 'falling’ in Akim. Opoku from Larteh had written to them that he was sincerely hoping to be re-accepted, and the missionaries have been entirely at peace with him. At the service the sermon was based on Luke 19v 20 and his reacceptance was signified by shaking of the hand. In his concluding paragraph Mohr talks about the usefulness of having the Christians on the station as they soon will. It will enable the missionaries to notice how they conduct themselves in their home life. And he is looking forward to another baptismal service. (There is a footnote from Buck to Christiansborg that the workers on the Fort had recently struck for a rise from 9d to 1/- per day.)

The .missionaries were called by the King to see the bodies. Building - the Larteh masons have not yet returned despite having promised to do so. In the carpentry the number of skilled men has just gone up from 2 to 4 with the return of 2 Begoro men, one of whom had been discharged for disobedience, the other had a bad foot. They are employing 12 strong girls mixing swish – there is a lot of water carrying to be done and thus extra help is needed. They cannot employ more men without increasing the wages offered, since there are about 100 boys who want work, and they have about 60 employed already. The food supply situation is worse rather than better. Hens are very scarce, and though there are plenty of sheep, out of fear of the fetish priests the people are not slaughtering them.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 17.04.1876 Proper date: 17.04.1876 Description An account of the resource Includes his excuses for not having written an 1875 Year's Report - he was too busy with the installation of the new missionaries in Begoro and Abetifi. Also during the quarter the subordinate personnel on the station changed - Obeng went to Begoro, Adaw and Tenkorang to Akwapim. He had recently baptised 4 out of a group of 25 catechumens, all young adults. Many catechumens were not baptised because they had travelled into Kwahu with the new missionaries and had thus missed their baptismal instruction. Street preaching Kibi is now attended by numbers of Juabens - but no longer by the Okyenhene who has allowed himself to be persuaded against this step by his elders, (There is a note by Buhl who had been in Kibi a couple of months previously that this never was a sincere step, simply a manoeuvre made with his eyes on the English colonial government). At the end of the quarter there were 10 catechumens. The Christian village there is increasing more quickly than the one in Kukurantumi because most of the baptised Christians are ex-slaves who feel freer on a mission land than they would living near their former masters. Reports the Juabens are showing little desire to settle on the land given them by the English government. They say that if the English government will not help them to their revenge, then they will set out again and join up with the tribes to the north of Kumasi who are opposed to the authority of Kumasi. He gives the names of these as Nkoranza, Korakye, Brong, Worawora, Sai and Boa. Almost daily Juabens arrive who have fled from Kumasi, who report that the Kumasi people are afraid of the return of the Juabens strengthened from the protectorate. They say Kumasi is partly in ruins, and that grass grows on the streets, there is a great shortage of foodstuffs in Kumasi and the whole of Asante proper. The disorder is so great that an official of the new king’s has taken one of the king’s wives and fled with her to Cape Coast. There is further war between Kumasi and Mampong; Mampong had wanted to move away and go to Krakye. Gyaman has also declared war against Kumasi. Thus the peace in which they have been able to set up the Kwahu station. He adds tout court that the Kwahu people come originally from the other side of the Afram, out of the land of the Sai people.

Mullings, and Cat. C.L. Meyer. During the year the numbers in the community had increased from 14 to 56, there were 35 communicants and 4 children, 17 non-communicants. There were 14 catechumens as he wrote the report. In the boarding school there were two teachers in addition to Meyer as housefather - Jonathan Asumen, and Jonas Oware. 44 pupils. At Kukurantumi (he gives the area of Mission Land at 18 acres) the number in the community rose from 24 to 36 with 18 communicants, 2 non-communicants, and 16 children. There were 7 catechumens as he wrote the report. There 21 were 18 pupils in the school. The two new teachers in Kibi were both Akims. Asante writes that though not so gifted as the catechists they could have achieved better results with their pupils (the two lowest classes) if they had worked more conscientiously. The movement of people into out of the community included a loss of 16 people through their moving away, and a gain of 8 by their moving to Kibi, 31 by baptism of the heathen, and 3 by baptism of children of Christian parents. The life of the community is described in generalities - the heathen sins of adultery and becoming indebted were not absent; the Christians were making farms more willingly than in the past; 2 young men were apprenticed to a carpenter in Kibi, two more were about to be went to learn locksmithery at Christiansborg.

Most of the new pupils are small boys. No pupils were expelled (in spite of a rule that the third detected lie would be punished by expulsion) - and one was transferred to the Akropong Middle School. The school and the pupils had a troubled year. At beginning some of the ex-slave boys were severely treated - even beaten - by their ex-masters. They were also forced to give an 8-week holiday instead of the usual 3 week holiday, because with the presence of Hausa soldiers followed by the Juaben refuges there was a severe shortage of food. At the end of the year they were again forced to give an unexpected vacation due to an epidemic of chicken pox. They have started a farm on land beyond the mission land's boundaries to the South-East.

They have made a law among themselves to punish anyone absent without good reason with a fine. Asante writes that this is not evangelical practice but still necessary in Akim. A catechist appointed to Kibi in the middle of the year, Samuel Gyima, is a Kibi man and had to be suspended almost on arrival for having committed adultery in Akropong. He repeats a request for a diacon to assist him in Kibi. If this request were granted he would transfer Mullings to Asiakwa and start the chain of outstations he wants to create between Akim and Kwahu, though he adds in passing, that he should think also about the North and North West of Akim -the bulk of the schoolboys from outside Kibi and Kukurantumi come from this area and all the baptised school boys are from Kwaman. A path goes from Kibi to Kwahu via Kwaman but it is not as direct as the other path.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 18.10.1876 Proper date: 18.10.1876 Description An account of the resource Out of the graduates of the school up to 1876 had come 2 catechists, 2 teachers, and 3 fathers of Christian families. This is a history of the Kibi school written from Asante's own knowledge and the information in the school-records. The key moment of change for the school was after the emancipation of 1874 'when instead of tyranny and oppression (a period of) freedom and equality (arrived)’. The youth of Akim used this freedom to start coming to school. Most come from Kibi, Asiakwa and the North West. 3 are from Asante - a Kwahu whose uncle brought him to the school before the missionaries were established at Abetifi, a Juaben, and a boy from Kumasi who before had been a slave following capture as prisoner of war. It is a real haven for once slave youths - the masters are still trying to force people to remain slaves, but no-one dare touch a pupil at the Boarding School. Now ex-slaves sit next to boys from free and noble families in the boarding school - it is interesting to see the ex-slave sitting next to the boy from the royal family, and hear the former say to the latter 'Kosa nsu bra afei yew ungina ye pe’ which Asante translates to mean 'Go and fetch water, we are all alike now'. 5 of the boys who entered the school are baptismal candidates have applied for baptism - they are all older boys.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 26.05.1876 Proper date: 26.05.1876 Description An account of the resource The letter includes a list of expanditures on building to date, and an estimate of future costs. NB: The word “strike” seems to have been in use among the workers, it appears in quotes. There is a melange of letters from Abetifi in Heidenbote 1876, p 85f not quoted in extenso but combined with an editor into an article. It is mainly concerned with the fact that there had been another strike and that in mid-August there was a war-alarm. Obo, Obomen and Twenedurase seem to have been moving towards cooperation with the Asantahene. A salt-trader from Kwahu taking a consignment into Kumasi was the link with Asante. The situation calmed down again fairly quickly it seems.
