Leader in Atlanta's Oriental
Colony Brings Bride and
Optimistic Reports.
Lee Hand, who went bark to China
for a bride, and took an active part
in the establishment of the republic,
has returned “home” with his wife
and said to-day that, “despite inter-
nad dlfvensions, the Chinese republic
will live, and in time the powers
will bo forced to recognize the new
(Government.”
Hand Is one of the most popular
young member-' of Atlanta’s Chinese
colony and sixteen months ago when
he crossed the seas to wed he carried
with him the best wishes of a host
of friends here. With his pretty
young bride he is to-day receiving the
congratulations of these well-wishers.
“My wife,” said Lee, “has never
been to America before, and every
thing is so new’ to lier. She couldn’t
help but wonder at the great cities
ihrough which we passed.”
Lee Hand went to China last year
primarily to bring back his bride. The
revolution was then In its Inception.
He made hundreds of speeches in be
half of the rebels’ cause and et one
time was enlisted as a soldier. A well
educated man, a fluent talker and in
spired by his intimate knowledge of
tbe American republic. Hand was an
effective worker in the establishment
of rule by the people.
Was Nearly Mobbed.
“T was not the only Chinese from
America who went over there and
made speeches.” said Hand. "The
American influence is . what really
brought the revolution to a success
ful culmination; there were a large
number of us and we made speeches
day and night. We told them about
this country and what a free gov
ernment had done for it, and they be
ll eved us. I thought l was going to
be mobbed more than once, but man
aged always to get out of the tight
places.
“The republic will live; It is bound
to. because it is founded substantially
upon the principles of tfm American
Government. Young men are behind
the movement and they are inspired
by the greatness of America. And
every year the number who come here
to study is increased.
“The industrial growth of China is
iust now beginning. Lack of rail
roads lias always been the great
drawback. It is surprising how much
building Is going on. And the Chi
nese are building these roads them
selves. They have American archi
tects and engineers, but it Is Chi
nese money end the Chinese will con
trol the roads.
Awakens to Possibilities.
“Another awakening that hold?
hope for the future is the beginning
of the mining industry. The country
is rich in gold, iron and other min
erals and they hare lain idle. Just
within two year? have any real steps
been taken.
‘•China is a large country, but it is
crowded. The reason for this is that
the people have been scattered over
wide territory, their villages spread
ing out and leaving practically no
land to be cultivated. There has never
been any economy of space, but the
movement has already started and
the towns are being made compact.
I firmly believe that agriculture is
the salvation of the republic.
“China has to import too much of
her food stuffs*. They arc high and
wages have been so low that the
poorer classes have suffered. That
to my mind accounts for the famines
tnat burden the country every year
“Yeun Shai Kat. the new Presi
dent of the republic, Is a strong man.
He believes in Americap policies of
government and is quick to apply n'pw
Ideas when he sees they will suit
conditions there.*'
Hand is preparing himself to stand
examinations to enter the United
States Government service as an in
terpreter.
Flim-Flamming
The Restaurant.
A young, well-groomed chap en
tered one of the restaurants the other
day a place where the waiter'hands
you a check for your meal and you
pay the cashier.
Ho selected a table well toward the
rear and ordered largely. The meal
over, he topp< <1 it off with a cigar and
called for his check.
As the waller made it out another
w>un - fellow hurried in and sat down
by the first.
t up of coffee and a slice of pie,”
he told the waiter. “And hurry. I've
got to catch a car.”
The coffee and pie arrived and the
youth arose and went to the cashier,
where he laid down the check for
fifteen cents, a dime and a nickel
and walked out.
Finishing his coffee and pic, the
other picked up his check and also
went to the cashier He laid down
a quarter and waited for his change.
“Excuse me,” said the cashier.
“Your check is for $3.25.”
There was a protest; the youth
claimed he only had coffee ad pie.
The waiter, called, confirmed this.
The. youth got his change and left.
And a little way down the street
the two youths met.
“All right. Bill,” said he of the
plutocratic feast, “it’s your turn now
for the big eats."
Ana ihey went along seeking an
other restaurant.
Don't Be Haughty
tn Rainy Weather.
There’s such a thing as overdoing
haughtiness. Not long ago during a
heavy rain a well dressed woman
found herself caught in the'middle of
a downpour in a part of town where
there was a good deal of mud on the
street. She came to a crossing where
a board had been laid to bridge the
flood and mud.
As she lifted her skirts to
cross, her purse fell, all unnoticed,
into the torrent. It was rescued by a
man who had been standing under a
shelter at the corner.
“Lady--” he began, as he reached
out and touched her on the shoulder.
“Sir!” She turned on him. “How
dare you?”
“Oh, very well,” said the man audi
bly.
And in full view of everybody he
calmly tossed the purse back into the
gutter and went his way.
