9 THE ATLANTA GKOKOJaN .Ais 1) NEWS. KH1DAV, MA\ 2, 1913. Leader in Atlanta’s Oriental Colony Brings Bride and Optimistic Reports. Lee tfrtnd. who went bark to Chirm for a bridp, and took an active port in the ret a bliphment of the republic, has returned “home’’ with his wit and said to-dav that “despite in^<M - nad dli’senBions, the Chinese republic will live, and in time the powers fill be 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 be cro»sed ihe seas to wed he carried with him the best wishes *of a host of friends here. With his pretty ^oung 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 her. She couldn’t help but wonder at the great cities through which we passed.” T^ee Hand went to China last year primarily to bring back his bride. Th“ revolution was then in its inception. He made hundreds of speeches in be half of the rebels’ cause and at otic time w T as enlisted as a soldier. A well educated man, a fluent talker and in spired by his Intimate knowledge of the American republic. Hand was an . effective worker in the establishment pf rule by the people. Was Nearly Mobbed. “I 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 largo number of us and u r e made speeches day and night. We told them about this country and what a free gov ernment had done for it, and they be lieved us. I thought I was going to he mobbed more than once, but niari nged 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 the American Government. Young men are behind the movement and they ar^ inspired by the greatne** of America. And every year the number who come here to study is increased. “The industrial growth of China 1? lust now beginning. Lack of rail roads has 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 and the Chinese will con trol the roads. Awakens to Possibilities. “Another awakening that holds hope for tlm future Is the beginning of the mining industry. The country 1s rich in gold, iron and other min erals and they have 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 ihe towns ar° being made compact. I firmly believe that agriculture is the salvation of the republic. “China has to import too much of her food stuff*’. They are high and wages have been so low that the poorer classes have suffered. That io iny mind accounts for the famines that burden the country every year. ' “Yeun Shai Kat, the new Presi dent of the republic, is a strong man. He believes in American policies of government and is quick to apply new ideas when he sees they will suit conditions there.’ v Hand is preparing himself to stand examinations to enter the United States Government service as an in terpreter. PROMOTERS TALK PLAN FOR INTERURBAN ROAD * GADSDEN, ALA., Miy 1.—Dele- gates from Rome, Center, Korney; Cave Springs and other points be tween Gadsden and Rome are attend ing a conference this afternoon to de- ' ise plans for building the proposed Gadsden and Rome Interurb in Rail road.

A young, well-groomed chap en- tezled one of the restaurants the other day a place where the waiter hands you a check for your meal # and you pay the cauhier. He selected a table well toward the rear and ordered largely. 'Hug meal over, he topped it off w itn a cigar and 1 called for bis check. Ath • waiter nade it out another young fellow Iui.t.i 1 in and sat down by the first. “Cup of coffee .and a slice of pie,” he told the waiter. “And hurry. I’ve got to catch a tar.” 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 anti a nickel and walked out. Finishing his coffee and pie, 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 \hc of the plutocratic feast. "It’s your turn now for the big eats.” And they went along seeking an other restaurant Don’t Be Haughty In Rainy Weather. There’s such a thing as overdoing haughtiness. Not long ago during a heavy rain a well dressed woman found herself caught n 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 hoard had been i; id 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, a;; 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.
