STATUS OF GEORGIA CROPS.
Conditions That Prevailed Con-
Sidered Favorable.

The summary of the crop bulletin is
as follows ;
The weather of the week was consid-
erably unsettled, frequent showers oc-
curing in the northern and middle
counties, In the southerly section the
week was fair, and nearly all CORES
pondents speak of the need of rain. On
the whole, the conditions were favora-
BILE, and the general verdict is that
crops have improved. If anything the
night temperatures were a trihe too
low for cotton, and it's growth during
the week was slow. The stands, how
ever, are reported as generally good,
but it is becoming lousy in several
counties. Chopping is nearing com
pletion in the northern and central
portions.

WHO THE BOXERS ARE.
How This Notorious Society Hap
pens to Exist in China.
Irom the Philndelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Such confusion as exists as to who
and what the Chinese "Boxers" are is
probably due to the rapidity and fire.
quency' which the native secret
societies of China change their names
when they desire to continue their
organization and purposes free from
the surveillance of the government.
When at lasttan edict of suppression
is issued the society simply takes a
new title and goes on as if nothing had
happened.
The society Of Boxers is supposed to
number eleven millions of men. 1t
was originally for protection against
the bandits with which the province
Shan-Tang was infested. Its name was
then Ia Tao Hwei, which means "The
Society of the Great Sword"
1t is law and order league gone
wrong. AS this society became more
powerful many dishonest and design
ing persons entered it, and in numer-
Gus cases directed its efforts against
personal enemies whom they repre-
scented to be bandits and lawless per-
sons. Some of these victims, looking
for help from the persecution of the
Great Sword Society turned to the
Christian missionaries, especially, it
is said, the German Catholics They
profesed conversion and the mission
aries sought to protect them.
A series of outrages on Christians
followed until, in last October. the
Christian nation forced the govern
mont to send a force against the Great
Swords. There was a battle, followed
by the report OF the governor of Shan
Tung that the so-called rebels were
honest country folk.
Then the Great Sword Society disap
peared by the edict, and in its place
sprang ready-made the ''Uniyersial
Society OF Boxers" with the organi
cation and purpose and with the added
idea of fighting all foreign influence
missionary or otherwise-and of having
the government help it. The opera
tions Of the society and the outrages
committed by it have since continued,
and have constantly become bolder.
The Chinese name for the society is
I-Ho-Tuon, the | meaning righteous
ness. the Ho standing for peace and
Tuon meaning fist.
As to the increased influence of Rus
STA at Pektn, the professor explains it
by pointing out that Russia declined
to Join the, other powers in making
representations to the Pekin govern
ment with respect to the Boxer move
ment, basing her refusal. upon the
fact that she is an Asiatic power.

Major James Albert Clark last night, at

topic, Kindness to Animals in the Light
Of Theosophy."
Major Clark stated the consensus of
thought among those who had studied COM

effect that the higher animals have all the
kinds of CONSEQUENCES possessed by man,
though not so generally nor so highly de-
vcloped.

harmony with the psychology of the East,
thousands OF years older than Aristotle,
who has been designated as the beginner of
thought as applied to mental sciences de-
spite the fact that Plato who was Aristo-

and India to gain an insight into the deeper
