MISSIONARY ANDERSON, OF
CHINA, VISITS ATLANTA

~ V. d. l.. ANDERSON has return
* ed to Atlanta after an absence OF
\eighteen yeaEs in China as mis-
sionary. Ffe expects TO be In America
iOr only about two months. His wife did
not accompany him from China.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Anderson was a
bookkeeper in the business office of The
Constitution. He left the paper in the
summer of 1870 TO join the north Georgia
conference of the Methodist church as O.
preacher. His position in The Constitu-

During his residence in Atlanta. Mr..
Anderson was a member OF Trinity
church. He was for twelve years a men,
Der of the north Georgia conference. and
was sent TO China as a missionary In
1882.
His two sons. James and Roy. are now
attending Emory college at oxford Roy,
the youngest. was born In China.
Directly after his arrival in China Mr..
Anderson was stationed at Soochow, and
has remained at the same post continu-
ously ever since
During his residence in China Mr. An
derson has had exceptional opportunities
to study the people and the country. In
spite of the conservatism OF the county
and the strength with which the natives
cling to the traditions and customs OF
the remote past many changes have TAX

beginning a new life
speaking OF the change that has come
over China, and OF the evidences Of the
new spirit that have come directly I'M

yesterday:
''Soochow. the city in which have lived
since | went TO China. is eighty miles
from Shanghai. Ii Is one Of the newly
opened ports. and was opened in accord
ance with the treaty signed after the
war between China and Japan. In this
treaty You will remember II was specified
by the japanese that certain number of
Chinese ports hitherto closed should be
opened to the trade of the world.
In my opinion. the war with Japan
and the resulting defeat was the best

MONEY on

From the Yazoo City Sentinel.
Senator II. D. Money made a brilliant
address before a large audience at Mill
saps College last week, 10 which he
spoke some serious truths about the ef-
feet of the imperialistic policy OF the
Republican Administration. Every tax
payer in Mississippi would do well to
read what the Senator says on this sub
ject. Hence il is here reproduced and
fully endorsed
The government Of a strange people of
another race and hemisphere. differing In
blood. language and custom, and with a mind
incapable Of assimilating our civilization, is
an experiment and must necessarily be
fraught with great evil. The worst effect Of

Words of Comfort.

Many of our most intelligent and
practical citizens think, that notwith'
standing the damage to crops from the
recent protracted rainy season, there
is a prospect for average crops. II a
late fall gives the crops time to mature
the rains will % prove as disastrous
as a prolonged drouth. Then too, it IL
probable that the high price of cotton
may counterfeit the losses, as a very
large crop of cotton would cause a cor.
responding lowering OF tbe price.-Ox-
ford Eagle.
