A Native OF China.
atlanta Constitution

Mr. Arthur j. Allen, a son of the ia.
nous Chinese missionary, Young j.
Allen, of this city, was in Atlanta yester-
day.
Although son of Georgia parents, Mr..
Allen was born in Shanghai, and has
spent of all his life there with the ex-
tion of FIVE years spent at Emory college.
He speaks Chinese live native, and is
we'll up on matters pertaining to both
China and Japan.
Young Mr.. Allen has distinctly for
eign air. He wears dark, carefully
trimmed and very pointed beard. His
features are large, and there is foreign
touch to his conversation. He has just
returned from Florida, where one of his
brothers resides, and expects to leave In
few days for China.
He is taking an extremely active in
terest in the war between China and ia
pan, and is much interested in the out
come. He thinks that the final result of
it will be an arbitration by foreign powers
Russia and England.
f'I received a letter from my father q
few days ago." he said. 'It was written
nearly month ago. lie said that Japan
had won every decisive battle, and that
the people in Shanghai were very much
excited. The foreigners were especially
stirred up, as they feared that they might
be set upon. Shanghai is protected by
gunboats now.
II would like to see the war ended.
Trade is practically at standstill while
it lasts; but I expect great results to &C.
crue to China frc m it. 1t will wake that
nation up, 1t will open up new COM
merce for that country. China holds to
la o11 oNp coruafiua nOtinOq
"The Chinese people are exceedingly
shrewd in money matters. They know
dollars and cents. They are the Jews Of
the East. They are not progressive nor
so modern as the Japanese, but they've
lot more business sense. They are
shrewder in money matters than in any
other thing.
The japanese are getting very mod
ern. They are copying Western man
ners and dress, and that country is sever
al grades higher than China.
''Shanghai is very pleasant city in
which to live. There are lot of English
men, Am orleans, Welshmen and Danes
there, and we have a society Of over 800.
We give dinners, entertainments and So
cial gatherings at frequent intervals, and
our social life is quite pleasant. Tennis
is popular form of amusement.
Life is easy there. The Engllshmen
in business there live easy lives combln-
ing business with pleasure. They do
not rush or hurry. I want to get back.
and am expectantly waiting for the war
to take one turn or another. Ishall start
back soon, any way,
"The work in which my father is en-
gagged is translating English literature
into Chinese so that it will reach the
statesmen and leaders Of thought in the
Chinese empire. They read very little
foreign literature-thats the way to reach
them"
Mr.. Allen was standing at soda fount
yesterday when Chinaman passed. He
called out to the laundryman in Chinese.
The Acknowledged fellow quickly turned.
Mr.. Allen repeated the remark. The
Chinaman shook his head and passed on.
"4e does not understand me- said Mr..
Allen, "He speaks Cantonese"

He Went and Died.

BOSTON, Sept. 94.-Miss Mary e. Bart
lett, late of Maiden, but later of Revere,
has brought suit for s15O,OOO damages
against the estate Of the late DR.. Henry
j. Bigelow for alleged breach of promise
of marriage made by the doctor some
time before his death. She claims that
she fully believes that the doctor would
have kept his promise had not death in
terveped. After his decease Miss Bart
lett tried to recover from his executors
the sum of Sl5O,O0O, which she claimed
the doctor promised her if she remained
true to him, but they refused to surren-
der that sum. Hence this novel suit for
breach of promise will be tried in the
Middlesex court this week.
DR.. Bigelow was one Of the leading sur
geons of the country.
Miss Bartlett comes of one of the oldest
families in the State, and is highly &C.

A Hint from Florida.

When questioned as to the reason for
his failure to house and save his Irish po-
tatoes, for home use and sale out of the
growing season, says the Florida Citizen,
the average Florida farmer replies that
sour potatoes are too watery and will not
keep WE'LL"
AS the same reason is assigned by the
average South Carolina farmer, he will be
interested to be told that while his pota-
toes will be "watery" If gathered before
they are fully ripe, If allowed to remain
in the ground until they are thoroughly
matured they will be ''dry and mealy."
The same authority adds:
"As to saving the winter supply prac.
tical experiment made by Capt. r. A.
Shine, Of Tallahassee, proves that it can
be done. He allowed his potatoes to RI
pen in the ground they were then gath
cred and spread in shady place to dry.
Afterward they were spread upon the
floor Of dry ware house and little
slaked lime was sprinkled over them to
absorb any remaining moisture. Thus
housed the potatoes kept we'll for several
months, and when placed on the market
in the winter they were sound, dry and
mealy, and had new potato flavor not
possessed by the potatoes shipped into
Florida from abroad"
The plan is simple enough, and if 1t will
"work'' in Florida SO satisfactorily it
should work as we'll in this State, and to
the profit Of every farmer who employs
it. Can any of the potato growers in
this State show cause why it should
not do what is claimed for it2-Ne'ps and
Courier.

Clean Cotton.

The agricultural editor Of the Peters
burg 1ndeX-Appeal gives some good and
we'll timed advice to cotton farmers in
Virginia, which may be followed with
profit by their brethren in other Southern
States as we'll.
Tho present years crop, as he says,
promises to be exceptionally large, the
price of ordinary and inferior grades will
rne very low, and buyers will be partic-
ular on the score of the quality Of what
they buy. 1t is Of especial importance
to the farmer, therefore, that he take
pains to have his cotton picked clean oi
trash and dirt and bits OF leaves so as to
have it reach the market in good condi-
ton. The piclers should be impressed
with the necessity Of exercising unusual
care in their work, and should be re-
quired to free tho lint from all the
trash, as we'll as they can, while picking
it.
It would be well, the same authority
suggests, if the picAers were required to
put all dirty, yellow and trashy cotton
into separate bag as they pick, and only
the whitest and cleanest cotton into the
main sack" a little extra reward, he
adds, might readily secure this end, and
every means toward it should be EN- ploy-
ed, as only the best quality of cotton will
command living price this season.
"Better have the poor stuff to itself and
sell it for what it will bring than to ruin
the sale of the whole crop" by mixing
good and bad, clean and unclean, togeth-
er. The adyice is based on the rule that
when good and bad cotton are packed in
one bale the good sells at the price of the
bad, and no other argument is needed to
prove the unwisdom of mixing hem. II
will pay to keep them separate in the
pcker's bag, the gin and the bale, and the
prudent farmer will govern his conduct
accordingly.

A Republican Call.

The Republicans of the State are be-
coming active again. All have seen the
address recently issued by the Slate E1-
ecutive Committee with regard to max
ing a fight in every Congressional Dis
trict, relying on contests before a House,
that will more than likely be Republican,
and the question as to the constitutional
ity of the registration and election laws.
Yesterday Chairman Webster, of the
Republican State Executive Com mittee,
was in the city. It was known that sew
eral leading Repu blicans bad been max
ing great efforts to get Mr.. Webster to
cali the State Committee together at an
early date. Mr.. Webster was asked
about the matter. He stated that in the
next Cay or two he would issue his call
for the regular biennial meeting of the
State Committee, and that the meeting
would be held on October 2. He said
further that the Convention would be
called to meet very soon thereafter. The
Republicans have evidently been waiting
to see what the Dem mocrats were going to
do, and what shape the regular campaign
would take before doing anything.-Co-

Lowest Price for Cotton

NEW YORK, September 2l.--A new low
price record was made for cotton to-day,
when October contracts sold at 6.N and
further sold off at 6.24. The lowest pre-
yious record was in 1892, when March
contracts sold at 6.2S. In ante-beIlum
days still lower prices were occasionally
current under slave labor, but never be-
fore in the history of the cotton exchange
has the price for the staple touched the
low figure now current.
The immediate cause of the decline Is
the large movement of cotton at the
ports and the interior, with an indiffer-
ent market for it even at present low
prices. Sentiment on 'Change is bear
ish, and as low as cents is predicted for
cotton in the not remote future, based
on the expectation of 100000 bales
crop, with $500, 600 bales possible, and no
estimate worth considering below S,5OOo,-
600 bales.
In view of the bearish conditions pre-
Yailing there is q large accumulation OF
short interest here and the pessimistic
view of the future generally taken leads
some of the more careful operators to be
conservative, as in the event Of any bull
movement being started the short inter-
est would be an importrnt factor in a
rapid advance Of the price.

Seeking Insurance

AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 24.-The Liquor
Dealers Association, of Augusta, is ne
gotiating with the Mutual Life Associa.
ton. of Chicago, to open upa branch OF
its company and carry their life insur'
ance.
The dealers say that they have been
forced to take this step on account OF
many Of the insurance companies and
secret orders refusing to issue policies to
mon who deal in liquor, and those who
don't prescribe their class usually charge
an. excessively high rate. The dealers do
not consider that the risks on their lives
are any greater than on men in any 9TH
er class of business. and say that there
should not be any discrimination in the
matter. The Chicago company particu-
larly solicits the risks of whiskey dealers
and it expects to insure every man in
the business in Augusta.

Let The m Finish the Farce.

Il
We have no idea that it would be for
the best for the Conservative faction to
lake charge of the Administration under
two wears il they could. Tillman and
Tillmanism have about bankrupted the
State. and the crash may come within the
next two years. The State is in debt and
getting deeper with nothing to pay With.
iitigafion after, litigation pending, the
dispensary question unsettled, the peo-
pIe almost in state Of revolution, taxes
higher with an upward tendency, We
think Mr.. Tiliman's friends should be
given two years to close up this very un.
satisfactory business. No set OF officers
on earth could take hold and give salts
faction to taxpayers for years to come.
In this whole proposition there is cause
and effective have seen the cause,
the effect must follow.-Clarendon Rews.

Corn 10 Sell.

The movement of corn from the West tc
the South has practically ceased. Indeed,
it has been reversed, for word comes that
fifty thousand bushels of corn have been
bought in Decatur, Ala, to be shipped to
Illinois.
This shipment is probably the first of
the kind that has ever been made from
the South, and it shows that our farmers
have entered upon new era so far as
their home resources are concerned
Heretofore north Alabama, as we'll as the
whole South, has been importing corn in
large quantities from Illinois and Other
StaLes, and while it is true that the eX.
port of corn just alluded to is largely due
to remarkable drought that cut the croI
short in portions of the West, it is also
true that the South has never before had
corn for sale.
The South has had a remarkable crop
year, but never before has fine weather
found such large crop of corn in the
ground. We have had fine weather be-
fore, but never corn enough to supply
our own wants and those Of the West as
we'll. This shows beyond all question
that our farmers have reached the poin
where they are able to sustain them.
selves. This year they have planted SO
largely of breadstuffs that they have q
surplus with which they can supply the
deficiency in the West.
In Georgia the farmer who. has moi
made considerably more than a years
supply of corn and wheat is curiosity
in his neighborbood, and the same may
be said of the farmers throughout the
South.
But one other thing remains to be
done, and that is for the farmers to raise
their own meat. When they have done
this they will be more advantageously
situated than the farmers of any other
part of the world. A surplus of bread
stuffs and meat means no debt, and nc
debt means prosperity. So far as Georgia
is concerned, the farmers have gone more
largely into the business of hog-raisine
this year than ever, and the profits on the
meat that is imported into this State dur
ingthe next twelve months will not make
anybody rich.
We advise the blizzard, cyclone, fire
and drought sufferers of the West and
Northwest to pull up their pegs and
come South.-AHanta Constitution.
