Tim, ATliAiN IA (iii.UK (HAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. MAY 2. 1013. T. II. IS SPEAKER II PH! 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. MGR. KENNEDY'S FATHER DIES. NORRISTOWN, PA., May 2.—Pat rick Kennedy.
