Chinese Hate and Fear Russians—Ja pan’s Loyalty—Unrest in China on Account of Taxes. Chinkiang, China, May 13, ’04. The Ledger:—Being a preacher, I will say, firstly, the Russo-Japan war. I am fortunate enough to get a daily paper published in Shanghai, and we get very good news from it, though it is rather meagre on ac count of the censorship of the press, both by Japs and Russians. One thing stands out clear, the Russians began wrong, and are fighting for a wrong principle, and have shown themselves to be selfish and cruel in their dealings with the weak. I think the Chinese universally hate and fear the Russians and so it is with all other people in the eastern world that I know anything about. On the OR RENT—Nice o-room cotiuKe. wltu ail other hand the Japs are liked by the Chinese as a rule, and China now is turning to Japan for her school mas ter in the arts of modern civilization rather than to the western nations.

We feel like saying, ‘“Banzai.” hurrah for Japan. I may feel a special interest in Japan from personal motives, for while I was in Japan three years ago, they were kindness embodied, and you may re member that the mother of my little girl, and one of Cherokee’s daughters, lies buried in her soil overlooking the blue waters of the China sea.

A family of this city is spending some time in the North Carolina mountains, and when it left the city the family garden gave promise of a fine crop of vegetables. This garden was left in charge of the old colored gardener, who has been very careful with it and as the vegetables began to get ready for use he began to lay plans to ship them to his family in the mountains. But about this time the head of the family, who remained in the city, noticing the abundant crop of vegetables, invited some of his less fortunate neighbors to go in the garden and get the good things there for use in their families. Some of these neighbors accepted the invita tion to the extent that broke up the old negro’s shipping plans, and when the obliging husband returned home in the evening he found the good old servant all out of sorts. He went for his boss with gloves off; told him of his broken up plans, and wound up by saying, “If you sens any mo’ folks here, for God sake sen dem dat knows when da get enough.” The old man is mad yet, but the garden of the ge nial owner is still open to his neigh bors.

Yesterday morning about 9 o’clock Coy Sanders, colored, hit his wife, Hattie Sanders, on the left side of her head with a hammer and knocked her senseless. Doctors Darwin and Smith went to her assistance and found her somewhat revived, and they dressed her wound. She had a bad cut where the hammer hit her, and the outer wall of the skull was broken by the blow. It is hard to tell now how her case will terminate. She is in bed and her injuries are considered serious. The blow was struck at the home of the negroes in Kendrickville, and Coy started at once to make his escape, but Officers Henry Lockhart and Lem mons were soon on his track and Mr. Lemmons caught him near the carpet mill, where he was joined by Officer Lockhart and they brought him back and placed him in the city prison. believe it will mean the reform of China, and the peace and prosperity of the East and of the world.

If they are ordered to collect two cash per man from the people for this tax, they will collect from ten to twenty and pocket the balance, and if there is trouble they will say. Oh, it’s for the foreigner.” There are also many reforms being introduced in a small way, such as new police regulations, new schools, etc., and the Chinese people are like pigs that love the mire, for they gen erally prefer the narrow, dirty streets and the old ignorant way to any re forms. I^ast week we had a riot here in Chinkiang. I had just returned from the annual mission meeting in Yang- chow, and our little daughter, Maggie, was about seven days old, and Mrs. Crocker was not able to be moved. The cook came to me and said there was a riot and tens of thousands of people w’ere coming. I did not know whether they would attack the for eigners or not, and it was rather an anxious moment as I watched the crowd rushing out of the narrow street mouth near us with arms wav ing, and yelling with what an old mis sionary likened to the howling of wolves. They swept up to the foot of the hill about a quarter of a mile from our place, but in plain sight, and burned down the quarters of the new police (native) force, and I heard that several were killed and injured. One man they said was burned to death. Tho hills around were black with people, and we could hear the yells as the black smoke boiled up from the fire; but just at about the worst there came on a heavy rain, and that scattered the crowd to some extent and the streets were quieter. The shops of the city were closed, and they were not opened till next day, when a mandarin came along with armed soldiers and ordered them opened. There was no anti-foreign demonstration. We are thankful that there is peace again. The premises where we now live were burned about sixteen years ago, but the Chinese have learned more about the foreigner since then. I held a meeting and bap tized nine not long ago, and there are some thirty or forty enquirers, and we hope to baptize a dozen or so be fore long. There is more interest in the Gospel than I have ever seen. I have baptized twelve from heathen ism this year, and we are hoping for about forty more, as we are asking God to give us this year as many as fifty converts. Our little church here has over fifty members now, and it is supporting a Christian school teacher at Chu Yung, in the country, and also pays for a preaching place there. At another place In the country they are building a little chapel for them selves. If there are any who con tribute to our support who see this, I wish them to be encouraged. We are praying: 1. For fifty converts this year. 2. For the conversion of house holds. 3. For the Chinese women especially. Will you not join us in this definite prayer? W. E. Crocker. D. A. Jones, R. D. Wylie and U. M. Jones, three bright and hard-working farmer boys from across the Broad, paid The Ledger an appreciated visit Tuesday. They report wet weather, but crops in good condition and grow ing nicely. Interest Still High. The discovery and successful work ing of Capt. Ross’ tin mine near Gaff ney is still interesting our own and many other people in tin and other minerals in this county. Many farm ers are prospecting on their own lands and there is scarcely a day, but some new man arrives in the city with tin on the brain. There is no doubt now that tin ore exists in many places ‘in this county, but it will take further development to ascertain in w’hat quantities. The two most notable recent discoveries are on the lands of Mr. Matthew Amos and Mr. Callie Perry. These farms are in the western suburbs of the city and it is probable they will be fully investigated. Other places are assuming enough importance to induce dealers in mineral lands to seek options on them. In these searches for tin, other minerals are being found and careful notes are being taken of them for future reference. George Camp Granted New Trial.

They loaded up on the Gaffney boys last Tuesday, however, by sending to Spencer for the crack battery in North Carolina, and with additional outside help they put it on to the Gaffney boys good and hard for two games, the score being 10 to 1 in one game and 12 to 1 in the other.
