THE RALEIGH DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MAY G,' 1912. -.-- 2 II Subject of Address of Bishop Bashford Saturday "The Enemies of 'China Declare, and With Some Truth, That the Whole Momevent Tlii'oiiKhout tlie Em pire Is Due Not at All to Chinese Initiative, Hut That Foreign Mis Nionarles Awoke the Chinese tilant." Plead for Patience. Minneapolis, May 0. J. W. Hash ford, bishop of the Methodist Epis copal church in China, delivered an address on the "Revolution in China" before the general confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal church here Saturday night. Hisliop liushford reviewed in detail condi tions as he had round them in China and declared that "the Chinese peo ple have caught a glimpse of Canaan ; they are on the road; they will nor rest finally until they have reached the Promised Land." Bishop 1'ashford disclaimed the report that he represents the Chinese government or brought a personal message from Yuan-Shi-Kai to Pres ident Tat't or t lie American people. Bishop Bashford said in part: "The enemies of China ''declare, and with some truth, that the whole movement throughout the empire is due not at all to Chinese initiative hut that foreign missionaries awoke the Chinese giant and the irresistable pressure of foreign nations pushed him into his present progressive pace. How far, therefore will the giant travel, they cynically ask, without further foreign prodding? And we maintain that the giant is at least awake, and that he has leaped the chasm which separates Oriental despotism from modern in stitutions must recognize that he has still before him a long and peril ous journey. "With the almost: universal ignor ance of the masses, with the almost universal corruption of the Chinese as well as the Manchu officials, with the narrowness and bitterness of clan feuds, with the professed sel fishness of the guilds, with the local jealousy of province against province and the widespread jealousy of the south against the north, with the tremendous difficulty of uniting the Chinese and the Manchus and the Mongolian and the Mohammedan, with the dangers of foreign inter vention, with the lawlessness which attaches to every great transition in government, with the recurring suf fering from famine, the more wide spread suffering from foot-binding, with the dark shadows of slavery and polygamy still lingering over the land, and with the hopelessness and helplessness of the .Pagan faiths, only these livng in a fool's para dise, and asleep in that, can imagine that the proclaim ion of a republic will be accompanied by the inaugu ration of. the millennium. "We plead for large patience and generous hope in our 'attitude toward 'the-Chinese.. We fought seven years to win our political independ ence and then took six years longer to frame our constitution, and we so compromised over our form of government and over slavery that it took a four years' struggle to trans form the states into a nation and the blood of six hundred thousand white men to cover the stain of slavery Let us hot expect the four hun dred millions in China to complete in a few- weeks, tasks which western nations required decades to accom plish. "Guild government and still more the government by village elders and by the heads of families and clans have provided China a valu able preparation for law and order under the republic. The family, otlen an entire clan and sometimes a Btreet of a city and community and entire city is held responsible for the crome of an individual member. I recall a city in North China in which an entire family was put to death for breeding a son wicked enough to slay his father; and not only was the-whole family annihilated, but a corner of the city wall was torn down and the entire city left de fenseless of harboring a family which could nourish such a son. "Western nations marvel that so great a revolution in China could have occurred with bo little blood shed. Probably not more than 80,000 people in all lost their lives in the transfer of four hundred million from an Oriental despotism to a modern republic. But we sub mit whether the reign of Kwang Hsu, the 'last regency of the Do wager Empress and the regency of Prince Hun were not a providential preparation for a revolution, while the events of the last eight mouths constitute In form one of the most tremendous revolutions . of human history, we .submit whether these events are not in substance an evolu tion, rather than a revolution an evolution which hundreds of years of local self-government have pre r-rfred the way for, and which the last three reigns of the house dl- ided against Itself have mado in nevltable. "If ever a movement In human history had a providential prepara tion and a gradual development, the present revolution In China reveals a combination of natural forces un der the hand of the Almighty, Abra ham. Lincoln once said, 'God must have loved the common people, He makes so many of them.' Surely God must love the Chinese, He makes so many of them; he has kept them alive so long and He has given them Buch providential preparation for their great task in the Pacific Basin. "Let us be patient with the Chi nese; four hundred million people have begun to move. The multitude is great and the journey is a long one. Probably they must have en campments along the way. Out let not enthroned pride and preju dice dream that he Chinese people will march back again to the bond age of Egypt. They have catih a glimpse of Canaan; they are on the road; they will not rest linal'v un til they have reached the Promised Land." THO.MAS ll.l.K NOTES Cumpuiiy I. Elects Officers iiml New Men Mr. Eusley Leaves Com mencement Address. ;. Thomasville.' May ti. -The Thomas ville. Blues. Company L, third regi ment, met in the armory a few nights ago and elected officers to (ill vacancies --caused by resignation of ('apt. W. O. Ilurgin. First Lieut. C. H. New by. was elected captain and H. S. Williams lirst lieutenant, and K. O. Harris second lieutenant. There are a few vacancies in the company and recruits making appli cation1 can 'get mustered in now and will be in time to go with the com pany on their annual encampment. It is with much regret that the decision of Or, Phillip S. Easley to leave Thomasville in the near future, is announced. As soon as he can make the arrangements he will move to Statesville, where he will continue his profession - practicing medicine. Since his location here he -has proven a valuable citizen, be ing closely interested in church wo,-k as well as identified with many business interests and aboe all being a perfect gentleman in ev ery way and a skilled physician. Thomasville feels keenly the loss of so valuable a citizen; he leaves Thomasville having the best wishes of the citizens. Hon. Whitehead Kltittz, of Salis bury, delivered the commencement address before the Thomasville graded school Friday night. The exercises were held in Main Street Methodist church, and was listened to by a large and appreciative audi ence. The past year s work of the graded school is closed and the teachers leave this week for their respective homes to enjoy a-much-needed vacation.

TRAIN LOAD OF E(i(iS Siler-. City- Breaks Some Records Enormous Sales of Produce. Siler City, May fi. Siler City having earned the enviable renuta- tion of being the biggest market in the south tor rabbits, now conies to the front as being the onlv town in the state from which a solid carload of eggs has been shipped on one con signment. Capt. W, S, Durham, the nioneer produce dealer of this town, shipped last Friday, one carload of eggs, Do ing one hundred and fifty crates, or forty-five hundred dozens, or 1 fifty four thousand eggs. On the same day that these eggs were shipped, Mr, Durham purchased from one farmer over six hundred dozen eggs, which are not included in the car load shipment; this, however. Is n daily occurence. More than 165,000 Ib expended each year In this town alone, for chickens, eeea. ouail nri the famous Chatham rabbit which fact bespeaks that the produce busi ness of Siler City Is no small affair.

For twenty seven years he has served the Amer ican state department in Paris and elsewhere on the continent. Like HenrV Yienaiirl his nrai1a,AaBni In 'the office of first secretary, Colonel Blanchard's value to the state de partment was enhanced by his inti mate knowledge of French. A poor workman out omployment, carrying an old 1 violin, entered a shop near Geneva recently and of fered the instrument for sale, stat ing that he and his family were im poverished. ' A young clerk from a sense of pity bought the violin for two dollars, and after having it re paired, began to play upon It. He was surprised at the melody. When a museian to whom he had shown it offered hlra $20, he became suspicious and took the violin to an expert, who declared it to be an i a desperate battle, the latter Amati. and that it Was worth a large sum of money: A lew diiys later Mr. Ernest Schilling, a well-known Amer ican liiiisieiaii who lives' near - Pad-' erewslii, offered the clerk $1 ,(0111 tor Hie viol',.!, but the 'iii.-u.it iat ions have' not. i-t- been conclioP-d.

"Captain Hill" CorpciiliiK of this city says that he Ik determined to place a photograph of Zeb Vance in every confederate home -In North Carolina; and as a matter of fact he has already made arrangements to do it, as he has a photograph of Vance that Capt. Hill had in Ills possession. The original was taken on or about the day that Vance was inaugurated governor In 1862, the captain says, and the "war governor" Is pictured in the' prime of 4ife. The reprints are plain and clear cut. Captain Hill has the his tory of the original. He says that It was given to his uncle, Phlneas Horton of Wilkes, who was Vance's quartermaster in the Twenty-Bixth regiment. The quartermaster ac companied the governor to Raleigh after his election and the photo graph was taken then. It was pre served by Phlneas Horton until bis death about 15 years ago and came into possession of the widow of Rufus,, ry.lurton, one of Vance's lieutenants, and last fall she gave it to Captain Bill. Captain Rill 'is going to the con federate reunion at Macon next week and he thought it would be a happy scheme Ao give the North Carolina veterans one of the re prints, especially the survivors of the Twenty-sixth regiment, and he had about 1,000 taken on post card blanks.
