The clear meaning ard intent of tht#
positive and direct exhortation of the Sa

that hi# should he preai he*l unl

ary work In China, hr sad. mu*4 and
tvouid nntinu*.
Mr Anthony divided hi* consideration
Of hi* them# into two p;rt*. and <ll#U*#*l
It from two points of vl* l reached
Ms conclusion tr m two statement* of
fact: “Kirst. we have nothin* •<* d< with
the war. and, second, the war has nothing
to do with us."
He found the r.tttM>* in other paces The
trouble begun with the for. ti g open of
Chine** putt to the op uro trait! b> Knit
land. in I m, since which *lm# there have
tieen many other et*nti which have die*
turbed th** Chines* arsl reiwlered them at
on- e MjapfchHia and repellant The arro
gance of the Angk*-H.i*n hei found typi
cal expresj<*n In the dealings of the Hfit-
Ish government with China, which it
nought to tmpreaa with the conviction that
manifest destiny required that the An*'-
Haxon shoukl exercise a sort of moral
guardianship over the nationa and people#
of the world, other nailona had treated
the Chinese In the sami haughty and un
wise manner.
For years there have been ccaaetess ru
mors of the partition of China among the
powers and the rumors have been a
com pa riled by the h.ip|ef)lng of a.fuil
events that mal# them easy to tie believ
ed First one port of the Chinese Em
pire and then another would t*e a#ixd
by one of the Powers, until China has
scarcely a first-class port which Is all It*
own throughout the entire length of It*
long coast line It has scarcely a pa
•© anchor its own fleet.
Mr Anthony contended that the state
ments that have be#-n so freely made to
the effect that miwsiotuirles in China are
reponßible in whole or in part for the
!*ox*r outbreak and the resulting chain
nf events *an not he sub* t*n listed. In this
connection, however. Mr. Anthony drew'
a distinction between Catholic and
Protestant miss lona rles, saying that the
former always made mot* or less claim
to temporal inser ;nd authority, while
the latter contented themselves with sim
ple parmts'-km to preach the gospel and
freedom from molestation. By the treaty
with the French government French
Catholic priests hold under tha
Chinese government civil rank cor
responding to their rank in the church
Mr Anthony thought It possible that
gom* jealousy might obtain among the
Chine#* on account of this privilege, but
there was never any assumption *f a*-
rular rank or power on th*- part of Protes
tant missionaries
It is true. Mr. Anthony said, that some
remote cnne< lion may la* tra -ed between
the outbreak of the |tox rs and the
Protestant ml-sionarle*. In that the mis
sionaries are In large part re*pon*|h> for
•he growth of the spirit of improvement
and (irogriiY amort a the better class of the
Chinese, agtinsf whlib s|.irlt the rHjthrewk
of the fioxers is the manifestation of tho
reaction The large bmps of the Chinese
•re of.|M>s#d in progress In any form and
they derate any at tempt to change their
ancient customs or to Improve upon their
ancient civilisation as foolish and crimi
nal Hut to aeek to find and fix the re-
for the war In so roundsh>ut
a fashion. Mr. Anthony thought manifest
ly unfair.
It wa* as though said Mr. Anthony,
Or* it Itrgkk n should swo*.;> down tijMm
the harbor of *N#w York and raise th*
•British flag over the island of Manhatt.-in;
that Germany should make up its mind
that It liked the Mutation of !>hil<l<-!phta
and pursue a similar uur*e there, the
Japanese grab Ban Franc taco and the
Austrians H.ivunn th. and the merry work
proceed until there was not a |ort In the
country over which floated the American
flag. If such a thing should hapten In
this country, there would tie no reason to
search for explanation# for the state*of
war that would result. It la the trouble
In China.
Then, said Mr Anthony. "The war haw
nothing to do with us." The misslonar
l*e will go anyhow', no matter what the
nations of the earth do or fail to do
They have accomplished already a great
work In China and they aro building in

am a cltlxen of Georgia and may claim
my rlghiw as such. I am not a cltlxen of
the United Hlateo. My clilxenshtp may
be recognis'd In Florida, or Ma*achu

not be in North Carolina, or Soutlf Caro

action of the Georgia l-eglslature placed
ihe stamp of It* disapproval upon dis
franchisement almost unanimously and It
make* me proud to feel that I am still a
cltlxen of Ihl* stale."
Asked about ihe future of the negro
generally In Ihl* country. Bishop Turner
replied that Ihe outlook I* dark. "The
negro ha* no future In thl* country." he
eald. "and therefore I have advocated
emigration. A few Individual* may suc
ceed here and there, hut there l* no en
couragement to tbe great mass of the 10.-
(Mi nn< negroes."
"1* not the Industrial education move
ment among the negroes doing a good
work?" he wa* asked.
"Industrial education I* doing a great
work for Ihe negro," he replied, "but
whal are a few vehool* and college*
among so many million*? ll I* a good
work, hoi a* a remedy for present* con
dition* It I* Inadequate."
"Il I* a remarkable commentary on the
condition of our race." said the Bishop,
"that the negro should require Industrial
education. At Ihe do* of Ihe war the
negro wa* the Induiflrlallsl of the South.
He was not only Ihe farmer, hut he was
the wheelwright, the blacksmith, the car
penter. the builder, the pointer, Ihe tailor.
Ihe shoemaker, and Ihe dependence of ev
ery community In numerous other line* I
knew a negro watchmaker tn Maron who
was quMe an expert. Now the negro
ha* lost ht* knowledge of ihe Industrial
art* and has to he taught them In
schools."
Bishop Turner said that he wa* aware
form hi* correspondence and Intercourse
with leading men of hi* race that there
are many other* who feel a* he doe* with
regard to the political Issue* of ih* day
and who have abandoned their faith In
the Republican parly. For reasons of ex
pediency many of these do noi care to de

The pea Island cotton farmer la keeping
up with the producer of upland cotton by
inking step* to market the crop Intelli-
Kenaly. which the present Indication* *eem
to point to p the one step. necessary to
getting good price*. The Morning News’
telegraphic report* 7he other day con
tained an account of the organisation of
pea Island cotton farmer* for the purpose
of having more to *ay as to the price of
their product than they have previously
had It I* currently reported that bankers
at Valdosta, and other placea In Georgia
where large lots of this cotton are re
ceived, and also at different places In
Florida, are offering good advances on
cotton to be held for the prices It I* be
lieves! conditions warrant, and which n Is
believed will be had If farmers do not
rush their cotton to market to be sold
for what It will bring. The firm stand tok
en by farmers generally In having some
say about prices before they turn their
crops loose on the markd ha# resulted In
benefit to them which Is being especially
Impressed Just now on the sea Island cot
ton producer.
From what can be gathered from fac
tor* and h trade generally In Savannah
the growing crop prosniess to he a light
one. In South Carolina it Is reported to
he considerably less promising than It was
this time lasi year. A dealer of year*-of

farmers stocks ar* light, which will bring

The consumptive demand Is admitted to he
greater than It was last ysar. If thin is

will probably lurn the ksy on the ware

and calf on their bankers for what pocket
