SAYS MUCH BLOOD

Missionary Believes In That

Picking, Jan. 12.-Dr. Arthur H
Smith of the American Mission Board

ditions of modern times. He said
that in his opinion b1oodshed will
come in a few years, possibly in a
very short time.
DR.. Smith said in part: GA mon
archy is strong ship which may sink.
A repub1ici is raft which never sinks
but your feet are always in water.
China is not a real republic because
the masses are un-inte1ligent and it
takes decades, generations and cen
turtles to develop a, true republic. Chi
ma is a mass of unrelated atoms, IN
seious of each other, and all this needs
chemical attraction China must
have external pressure to mould to-
gether this unrelated mass, the same
fed by the Iunacy of George the Third.
The element of progress is necessary,
and political parties, cliques, and sec
tionaI strifes all tend to hinder the
development of the state. Men of
courage are needed; you must have,
more men who are not afraid to die
and willing to work together for some
good cause. Stand ready to sacrifice
yourselves for the good of the coun-
try.

With the recent purchase of the
great dock properties accessible to
the heart of the town. known as the
Jennings property, and famous in the
annals of Fairfield county history be-
cause of it's connection with many
fortunes in war times, comes the an
nouncement that buildings will be re-
moved and landmarks will be replac-
ed by a beautiful park.
Other properties, believed to be un-
slightly are now said to be under OPP
ton, that their purchase may remove
from the view of SascO hill any object
that may be thought inharm oni Gus.
The properties now doomed to de-
struction are the old ramshackle
docks and warehouses adjoining the
estate of Winthrop Perry, some or
which date back to Revolutionary
times, and which in the 40s and SOS
were the scene of unparalleled ship
ping activity.

be loaded with hay, potatoes, apples,
onions and other products of the soil

Through this waterside approach,
NJ any Fairfield fortunes now enjoyed
by descendants of the original land
owners and sailormen, were laid.
While many will feel a sense of loss,
Southport residents of to-day greet
with acclaim the making or a, beauti-
full park along the waters edge, and
realize that once and for all time, the
possibility of Southport again becom-
ing a mart of trade is gone.
