Bowers which liafe interests in that coun
try are waking up to its importune*-. The
Ixmdon copers express the opinion that
affairs there are working up to a crisis of
the first magnitude. It certainly looks as
If they were.
The "Boxer” movement, as has been
frq\i a ntl> explained, is an anti-foreign
movement. Tire “Boxer" organization is
a secret one, Composed of fanatics, it is
an organization, however, which repre
sents Hie sentiments of the people. The
people are against the foreign clement.
I hey want the foreigners driven out. It
i* easy to understand therefore wtn no

the government to check the “Boxer”
movement The government is responsive
to the will of the people.
lion. William A -ruggs of Atlanta, for a
number of years our consul general in
China, said in an interview the other day
that, notwithstanding ail assertions to the
contrary, the messes of China are un
alterably opposed to anything like for
eign influence in the empire. The Chinese
look upon themselves as u chosen people,
and they believe that their government,
their civilization and their social* system
ore a revelation from heaven. Naturally,
therefore, the work of foreigners, whether
in tiie mission He’d or in (lie direction of
Industrial or ’commercial enterprises, is
looked upon with hostile eyes. It is re
gard* and as tin effort to overthrow their
civilization, and consequently their gov
wnment.
The “Boxers” are given that name be
cause of their pc Hiliwr movements when
they approach an enemy. They go
through a series of movements which re
mind one of a boxer. They believe that
these movements t * nd* t them invulnerable
and also confound the <nerny. Entertain
ing such beliefs it is easy to see why they
are a very difficult element to deal with.
A factor in the situation, and one that
Is of vast importance to China, is the at
titude which Bussla and Japan miv as
suming towards each other. Kttssla. it is
said, lias offered to lend the Chinese gov-
ernment wssiDance in putting down • i*-
“Boxer?.” To (hi* Japan object*. Japan
looks upon the offer a- move *n the
pan of Russia to a footiiohi in china
a foothold the latter won <1 never give

gun mobilizing her fleet. The "Boxer”
mov'-meni. therefore, may be the cause of

And it N proha ole that Japan is iiv( the
only Power that would to the oc
cupation of Chinese terriiory by Russian

Tiie dog tax does not appear o he pop
ular in (’oflfte comity. At h mass meet
ing held ;11 Douglas, the county seat, a
day or two ago, the sem inent seemed
to t*c decidedly against the tax. Ii is safe
to say. however, that t lie majority of those
at the meeting were not farmer*. Coffe**
county is a sheep-raising county, and if
it were not for the worthless dogs with
which tiie county is afflicted, it is prob
able that sheep-raising would soon he
conn t far great* r source of wealth than
it is. Wool is now bringing a fair price,
and farmers could easily make a good
living from tin sale of w*o! and lambs
front a small flock of sin ep. It seems
thill those who oppose tiie dog tax pro
post to try to have tin* dog tux law re
pealed tit the next session of tiie Legis
lature, and that if they fail In that they
intend 10 teal ih* legality of the law.
It can be stated with considerable de
gree of certainty that the Legislature will
not take a backward s ep In this dog tax
matter. It took a long time to g-t a dog
tax law enacted, but now that it in a
statute it U not at all likely that sum
dent influence can be brought to have it
repealed. If grand juries will only do
<help duty in the matter, so that the law
will be put in force in every county In

with this Well-founded axiom. Dr. Kuh**-
niaiiii. in tlu* Berliner K inis, lie Woche.i

prevalence of influenza which vi-ired the
(ierman capital during last winter from
the extraordinary want of sunshine In
that season, especial y in January. Since
IW. Berlin • xperlenccd Hie least amount
of sunshine in this motuh. The sun cu t
its benignant rays in visible sunshine for
only <i.s hours In January of 1900, while
tiie last eight years’ average for the same
month was 3ti.4 hours. The before-men
tioned 9N hours of sunshine fell upon the
first half of January, when case* of In
fluenza were less frequent, while from
Jan 1(1 to 31 no sunshine at nil was re
corded In thi In-*t period th** eo'tDmh
grew to a very large extent. In the year
when the influenza raged most vio
lently In Berlin, the city had twenty-'wo
days without sunshine. The suit, the

Gentlemen—lt gives me pleasure to
heartily recommend “Infant-Friend
Powder,” and to give to you a singu
lar little coincidence connected with
i. *
During the Cotton States and Inter
national Exposition I was presented
with a little Irox of this powder, and
was so pleased with it that I was ex
reedingly anxious to get more, but on
looking at the box 1 found nothing
but Savannah, Go., no other address.
I have often wished I knew where
foget it. This morning’s mail brought
your circular with enclosed sample. I
immediately referred to my box. and
found it was the "Infant-Friend Pow
der." It is without doubt the best
powder I have ever used.
Respectfully.
