Haskin Americans always have been markedly Indifferent to questions of foreign affairs. Partly because the rapid growth and de velopment of the country at home has absorbed almost all available energy, partly because business has not depended in any appreciable degree upon a for eigr market, partly because of Yankee ccncelt and partly because of crass Ignor ance of the rest of the world; Americans have practically tabooed all discussion of foreign affairs as a bore. The dignified and conservative gentlemen who have sat in the chair of the secretary of state at the right hand of the president's council table have congratulated themselves that they were so nearly immune from the ir ritations of frequent public discussions of the foreign relations of the country. There are indications that the state de partment has at last realised the neces sity of the co-operation of the public, but It will require many long years to educate the people to a proper appreciation of the enormous stake at issue. Within the past two years the American public has manifested a greater interest in the future of the foreign relations of the nation than ever before. The duty of the United States to cultivate closer trade relations with the South American repub lics and with Oriental nations is begin ning to be appreciated by American busi ness men. Without the co-operation of the business public all efforts made by the diplomatic and consular bodies to extend American trade abroad will fall. The American self-sufficiency will not last forever. The day when the exports of grain and raw material will be serious ly cut down is already in sight. It is im perative that American manufacturers find and build up a market abroad for manufactured products. It is with this end in view that the American people have consented to pay for the most ex pensive and gigantic engineering work ever undertaken—the Pnama canal. It is with this end in view that the diplomatic arm of the Washington government has prepared the soil of China. If the mer chants and manufacturers will take ad vantage of their opportunity now the harvest will be bountiful. China presents the greatest opportuni ties for trade and industrial development of any country in the world.

The Chi nese market will certainly absorb a won derful quantity of western wares, multi plying its present demand with every year. If the Americans do not take ad vantage of their peculiar opportunities, the business will go to England, Germany or Japan. The Chinese trade is ready for the Americans, but the Americans must go after it; go after it energetically and intelligently. China today leans upon the United States as its best friend among the na tions. Only the United States has al ways respected Chinese territory, only the United States has always treated China as a nation possessing full sover eign powers, only the United States has a record of diplomatic relations with Chi na which is unsullied by any stain of greed or rapaciousness. The United States has not gone as far as China has expected it to go in certain matters, but it is the only nation which has manifested the disposition to support, in practical tashion, Chinese plans for itnernal re forma. The friendship for America and things American is being rapidly extended through China by the influence of edu cation. The majority of the foreign | schools in China, to which the Chinese I youth repair for western learning, are . conducted by American missionaries. These missionaries, for the most part, realize their responsibilities and their shortcomings. They know that they nev ler will be able to destroy the Chinese mind. I and they know that they never will be able to convert the Chinese to that par ticular dogmatic Christianity which pre dominates in the United States. But they do know that they can give light to the Chinese mind, that they can teach the Chinese boys and girls the western learn ing which is the result of Christian edu cation and civilization, that they can cor rect evils ahd abate abuses. They do know that they have educated many good men and women, they do know that they have practically put an end to the practice of foot-binding, they do know that they have helped the Chinese tn the i fight against opium, they do know tha< | they have replaced a philosophy of pessi i mlsm with a religion of optimism, even if I that religion has not received a dogmatic j acceptance. The Chinese Christian I church will differ from the American ' Chrisltan church as much as the Church lof England differs from the Church of THE ATLANTA SEMLWEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA. GEORGIA. . FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1909. Armenta, but it will be Christian in its general concepts. The missionaries have done another thing—they have turned the thoughts of ycung China toward America as the fountain »f western learning and wis dom. For 30 years Chinese students have been coming to the United States, each year in increasing numbers. There were very (ew at first, but those few Ameri can-educated boys are now occupying high positions in government and business affairs in China. Almost every branch ot the Chinese Imperial government has a man educated in America near the head of its aaftirs. The engineers who aro developing Chinese mines, who are building Chinese railways, who are set ting up Chinese steel mills—all were ed ucated in .the United States. This means simply that in all competi tion in Chinese trade there will be a dis position to prefer American wares, if the American wares are there. The influence of American education training of Chi nese cannot lie underestimated. There are now over 500 Chinese students in vari ous educational institutions in the United States, a great number of whom have been sent here by the Chinese government to be trained for governmental service. A party of 60 government students is now on its way to America, the vanguard of a new and mighty movement which will bring China and the United States into closer and more friendly relations than they have ever been. The United States is the only one of the nations which remitted to China that portion of the Indemnity for the Boxer outrages over and above the actual losses to American property and interests. The Chinese government will devote the funds thus reverting to their treasury to the education of Chinese stu dents in America. The 60 students soon to arrive are the first selected under the reg ulations of the indemnity remission agree ' menL Others will be coming soon, so that i 100 shall come this year, 100 each year for | four years, and after that 50 each year. I The average residence of each student in i the states will be eight years, so that the i fund will be about 400 govern ment students in American schools and colleges all the time for the next 20 or 30 years. A special board has been created by the prince regent in Peking for the selection and control of these students. It is known as the American educational mission bu reau, and is composed of members ap pointed by the board of foreign affairs— the Waiwupu—and the board of education, and in coming to conclusions is to consult with a representative of the American minister at Peking. A preparatory school is to be established at Peking for the pre liminary Instruction of students chosen from the different provinces of China. The plan for the selection of the students takes into consideration the geographical and political divisions of the empire, and is frankly modeled on the plan of selec tion of the Cecil Rhodes scholarship stu dents at Oxford. These things mean that America and China will be drawn closer and closer together In the next few years. The department of state is paying es pecial attention to trade development in the Far East, and is laying especial em phasis on the Chlnere situation. About three years ago a division of far east fern affairs was established in the state department, and the results of Its work, along limited lines have been so fruitful that its extension is now being accom plished. An appropriation by the last congress enables the department to widen the scope of the division, and affords funds suffle'ent to bring able men from the diplomatic and consular corps in the Far East to Washington, where they may direct affairs with intelligent knowledge of the situation on the other side of the world. President Taft has had a wide personal experience in the Orient and he appre ciates to a greater degree than has any one of his predecessors the opportunities jawaiting Americans in Asia, and more I especially in China. His Shanghai speech, del’vered when he was en tour around the world as a member of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet, marks the beginning of American ‘aggression in the Oriental situation. Since ihe has been president he has encouraged a forward policy at Peking which has re sulted In many advantages to American interests. Mr. Charles R. Crane, the new minister to Peking, is a business man I who has the confidence of the people of ‘the United States. The first secretary lof the legation, Mr. Henry R. Fletcher, (when in charge of the legation, directed the negotiations which resulted ’n the ‘American participation in the recent rai lway loans made by China, and therein he proved himself to be possessed of the I highest oualiflcat'ons for a diplomatic ca 'reer. With such men at Peking, and with the large corps of able consular officers now stationed in China, the government is (prepared to assist American enterprise tn every legitimate way. It is now up to the American business min to take advantage of the situation and save the Chinese market for American w-ares. THE TEXAS WONDER Cures all Kidney.

Trigg and the Virginia Trust company had not reached a satisfactory settlement of the case out of court, the supreme court of the United States would have been called upon to consider the question whether a sea-going dredge made for the service of the United States is a public work. I The case arose in connection with a claim of $470 made by the iron com pany because of dredge materials supplied lin 1901 to the Trigg company and the trust company was included as bonds man for the other concern.

I Name. .-- ■ Street.... I City State | The Trials Os a Preacher By Rev. A. W. Bealer. The average man fancies that a preach er rides through the world on flowery beds of ease, that few waves of trouble roll across his peaceful breast and that, living on the fat of the land he has every day a foretaste of the heaven a.bout which he preaches and to which his ieyes are often turned. and yet this is just where the average man makes one of the greatest mistake* that is charged to him on the book of life. I have been meditating on the tri als that come into the life of a preacher. He is only a man and he enjoys the same things that other men enjoy and dislikes the same things that other normal men dislike. One of the trials of his life is to have a white, man call him "Reverend.” Tht general rule is that negroes try to act like the whites. Joe Jones used to say that the ruination of this country was that poor folks tried to be like rich folks and negroes tried to be like a Kite folks. But in this case the tables are turned and the white man who speaks of Reverend Blank or writes of him as such in the papers is aping the negroes. I They call most white men "Cap.” The cus- ! tom appealed to certain thoughtless white; men and they took it up and began to call every little sprig of a lawyer who nad a blig tongue, “Colonel.” Then the> heard the negroes speaking of Reverend Smith or Reverend Jones and they tonk it up. The' newspaper reporters have cAught the bad habit and you often see them writing about Reverend Black or Reverend White. If there is anything on earth that gives me a pain it is to have a white man who appears to be well informer cal! me “Rev erend.” Let him put the title "Mr." to my name in addressing me, or if he writes it let it be Rev. Mr. Bealer. The habit is niggery in the extreme and it ought to be tabooed by the best people. Let the newspapers, molders ot public opinion take up this matter and 1 begin to treat a preacher with becoming dignity and then other folks will stop the practice which has now become al most as popular as it Is to say “I dis ramember.” It Is almost as popular to speak of the preacher as "Reverend" a* it is to call the little lawyer "Colonel", it is almost as niggery as it is to speak ot the white man as "Cap." There are some other trials that come to a preacher when he goes fishing in the Ochlochnee river. It is a beautiful little stream of wine colored water that winds across the sands that are as white as the driven .mow and that crunch like the sand of the sea shore when you walk across it. The bed of the stream is as full of roots and snags as a dog's back is full of hairs. Sometimes you come to a hole m which the water is eddying around and it as smooth as a mirror. It looks as if ( It were full of fish and in you drop your hook. It is not long before you discover that like the human heart there are ugly things beneath the surface. When you go to draw up your line it hangs on some sort of a snag. You pull and twist and jerk and coax that line but ft will not come up and there is but one way, to pull it straight in to you. until the hook or the line breaks. This is not very conducive to peaceful thoughts. There is but one thing to do and that is to put on another line. You i feel that it is all right and in you drop ft again You get a splendid bite and as you jerk it you get no fish but you get hung on a hidden log at the bottom of the rtver. Your patience is strained by this time and you give a vicious jerk or two at J suddenly the line files out of the I water only to hang in a hopeless mess on the limb of a dead tree above your head. At a time like this I generally call on ' one of my deacons who is with me to ex press my feelings. It look* like something is just obliged to be said. Os course he cannot exnress himself in the presence of his pastor And we compromise the mat ter by singing a verse of some well-known hymn. I don’t know of anything that is a better promoter of patience than a day’s fishing on the Ochlochnee river. This is the time of year when the fishing Is good. This year there has been so little rain that the river is very low. and few large bream have come up stream. Still you can catch enough to make a fine breakfast and since automobiles have come into such general use it is a very easy thing to run down the country 25 or 30 miles, get there by sunrise and be home again with a fine string of fish for supper. Another trial that comes to a preacher as well as other men when they go fish ing is to hang a good fish, pull him to the top of the water and then lose him. He feds that life Is vain and is not really worth the living after such a catastro- ; phe has dropped its raven mantle across his pathway. Not long ago I was fishing. I got a good bite and jerked. I hung the fish. He bent the pole almost double and charged around in the hole at a great rate. I got him to the top of the water and saw that it was a Jack. He made another plunge and was gone toward the bottom. My friend, who was with me, said It was be cause he had seen my face. I played him around very carefully and then pulled him toward the shore. Suddenly the line slackened. He was gone. Have you ever had the camp meeting platform to give way wtih you while you were speaking? Have you ever had the limb of the tree on which you were sitting to break oft 'with you and you to the ground? 'lf you have experienced either of these sensations, you know just how I felt. I have never fully recovered from that loss. I have persuaded myself that ft w«s the largest fish I have ever hooked. Whenever I go in the neighborhood of that j hole T approach it on stealthy feet, as If I were stalking a timid deer. I will walk a half a mile to reach that hole. I have an Idea that the Jack is still lingering about. T want to get even with him for having given me such a "near catch.” It has been two years now since I hook- I ed him him and I am beginning to lose ; hope. I fear that I will never have the p’ersure of handline that ungrateful fish He ate up the bait T had gathered with so much labor and then refused to show his . gratitude by letting me catch him. One of the greatest tr’al.® that comes ’ into my life today, and I think I speak for the whole army of preachers in Geor- I gia, is to see the rapidity with which the , monthly check melts away in the warmth of the bills that are presented by the grocer, the butcher and the baker. It gives a fellow a kind of an aristo cratic feeling to have a little money in the bank I can nreach better wi»h a bill in my pocket, and T sometimes <row ms!- tlvelv eloquent when I have a little pile in honV. . You know how that is yourself. But hardly has the money been deposited when the grocer comes forward with his bill. His flour, meat and lard and tn fact everything else Is so high that be cap make a preacher's check dwindle down to » likeness of 30 cents. In a very litt’e while. T don’t know what the ordinary fellow is going to do I* prices keep up like thev are do'ng. They tell me that lard is still climbing and that there is little probability of flour going down In the near future. Ch’ckens are not onlv out of reach but they are out of sight. I well remember the time when good fry ing sized chickens could be bought any where for 20 cents a piece and it was a rare thing to pay over 35 cents for a hen and 20 cents for eggs. Sometimes they went as low as ten cents a dozen. Nnw you can't get a chicken big enough to tow finest On the Ist and 3rd Tuesdays of each month.very low fare round trip tickets will be sold via the Cotton . ■ Belt Route tc points in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma.

A fryer will cost you from 35 to 40 cents and hen* can’t be had for less than 50 cents, and sometimes they go to 60 cents. Eggs rare ly ever get to 20 cents a dozen, and at Christmas they run up to 50 cents. i I tell you it is the greatest trial on earth to face prices like these with a check that will melt away like a chunk of ice in a blast furnace. You know what it means. The aver age man who works for a salary can sympathize with the preacher along this line for he has had the very same ex perience and the same trials have camped along the pathway of his life. 1 In spite of all these things there are many joys that come into the life of a preacher. At this time of the year down in south Georgia he feels that it is a privilege to be living. The roses are blooming, and where will you find them In greater beauty and profusion than right here in Thomas county? The fall (gardens are coming on and I don't know of anything that is prettier than a fall garden in south Georgia. The trees are casting their leaves and the gardens In all their freshness stand out in sharp contrast to the forests on every side. Turnip greens, carrots, salsify, onions, lettuce, cabbages and collards are grow ing in such away as to make a man’s mouth water just to look upon them.

The town is full of these trees and all that are old enough are bearing fin£ crons. It used to be.the idea that it required ten years fdt these trees ;to begin bearing. That is true as to the [ seedlings and the nuts as a general thing ' are small and hard to get into. But the budded varieties will begin to bear a few nuts in three years. I have one in my ; back yard that is just five years old. Laet I year it bore 29 nuts. This year it has i borne nearly 400 A funny thing happened not long ago in connection with this tree. I wrote some thing about having it in my back yard. I Not long after I received a letter from a man asking my opinion as to pecan tree*. , | He wanted to know what was the best variety to plant; how fnr apart the trees should be planted and how soon he could expected to reap a harvest from them. He said he wrote to me because he under- 1 stood that I was largely interested :in the growth of pecans. It has always 1 j been a mys’ery to me how and where he 1 J got such an idea as this. ’ ’ The mornings are getting frosty, the 1 trees are fading and the farmers are '.busy getting in their corn and hay. We 1 have made a splendid crop of both down ' t here in Thomas county, one of the best i we have had in some years, and I guess ■ J we ought to be very thankful in view of •' the reports of short crops that come in i ■ from many other sections. We look upon the fattening hogs in th® i plnder fields, the big crops that are being I gathered, the increase in the price of cotton and we thank God for what He has , done and take courage for the future- I 15
