Hill’s Tribute to Lee,
The question of the responsibility
for the recent troubles in China is
one upon which sharp differences of
opinion are developing. Rev. G.
\V. (tieene, of North Carolina, who
has -erred many years as a Baptist
missionary in China, and is now at
home on a leave of absence, is of the
opinion that the Chinese are not al
together to blame for the present
state of affairs in that country. In
a recent address to the students of
North Carolina university Dr. Greene
gave his reasons for tiii- belief. Of
liis address The Tar Heel, the uni
versity publication, says.
“.Somewhat to our eurprisc Dr.
Greene did not lay all the blame ot
the uprising at the door of the ( hi-
nese. He told how the foreigners
had gone there and trampled under
f.M.r the superstition of the Chinese
how they hud treated w iill contempt
and utter disregard the most snored
places of these people, often building
railroads throng! their cemeteries,
deaerating the gravesof-their anocs-
tors. Ur. Greene tol.d how many of
the missionaries, especially those
from France, had fak'm to themsel
ves civil power and cause*l trouble
wherever they went. He told how
the Chinese look upon the action of
the so-called Christian . Italians in
taking from them whatever territory
and wherever they desired. At one j
place Russia has taken possession ot
many square miles; at another place
France has taken a port city; at an
other England claimed a large strip
of land; at another Germany has
taken for herself a harbor and the
contiguous territory. So it is not
surprising that the Chinese treated
in this way by the-Christian nations
have little confidence in their pro
fessions of piety. The Chinese have
come to the conclusion that their
only salvation lies in rooting out the
foreigners. This purpose has domi
nated both political parties there for
yearn. The conservatives, however,
believed that it should he done slow-
Iv and cautiously; the radicals were
in favor of accomplishing it immedi
ately, and so when the Boxers or
ganized for the same purpose, this
party, including the empress and
most of the officials, lent their aid to
the Boxer movement.
“Dr. Greene says it will be a
■ troublesome question to settle, but
he hopes that the open-door policy
which is advocated by this govern
ment will prevail, for wherever the
merchant and his wares cau go :n
safety, the missionary and the Bible
can follow and heathenism will van
ish.”
These views of Doctor Greene
coincide with those of some of the
most prominent diplomats and mis
sionaries who have made a study of
conditions in China. It is well to
It will Ik? a matter of much inter
est to the farmers of Georgia to know
how the farmers of New England
make watermelons pay handsomely.
The New York Evening Post gives
the plan, which is a< follows: The
fruit is washed, cut open and the rind
seperated from the flesh within. This
rind is broken into small pieces and
is either pickled, -wiet pickled, pre
served or i*rystal!ized. It may also be
dried or evaporated, when it pro- j
duces a sulistance quite similar to 1
pumkin. The flesh i- ruu through a j
separator, and the seeds taken out
and put to one side. These are dried i
and may be used to plant the next ]
crop or to be shipped to Chinese j
communities, where they are very (top
ular delicacy. It is also possible to I
'remove the hull of the side ami eon- j
vert the kernel into a preparation j
similar to grape nuts or almond paste. !
It has a pleasant flavor, is rich in 1
albuminoid elements, and contains
a mucilage whi> h is of great advan
tage to a cook, iii • flesh or pulp
proper may be treated in different
ways. If taken from the machine
wihthuut any further preparation it
may be used a< a food for pigs, cattle
horses and poultry which secnis to
enjoy it greatly, or it may be drained
from its water, when it becomes a
thick pa<te like boile 1 squash. The
| water'itscii may be evaporated, and
tin* resulting UqU'V, which •weet
may be converted into a line fruit
vinegar, or may be boiled further
down and made into syrup <>r sugar.
According to those who have given
the matter thought, the watermelon
which can bo purchased for a few
cents down in Georgia, may be con
verted into a series ofu? ctnl products
worth at least $1.”
The Georgia farmer can do any
thing with the Georgia watermelon
that a New Engl ami farmer can, and
at a much less cost, and it would he
well for them to make a note of the
foregoing.
Many noble tributes to the mem
ory of Robert E. Lee were heard in
different part' of the south last Sat
urday when the birthday of that
great man was eelclwated more gen
erally than ever before. Notable
among them was the oration of Hon.
Henry St George Tucker in Atlan-
AUnrti«-v«.

But what we wish to call atten

in the senate chamber of the old cap
ital in Atlanta by Benjamin II. Hill

address is given in till! in “The Life
of Benjamin If. Hill,” by his ><»n, 1».
H. Hill, Jr. The part .to which we
have specially alluded is as follows:
“When the enaetmeuts and meas
ures of the Confederate government
shall be critically examined, they
wilLbe found to have sprung into
existence with a wisdom, a vigor, an
aptitude for the crisis and a strict
conformity t<> all the principles of
free institutions, which must chal

and statesmen for all time.

are great because of fortnnate results
