OF AMOY, CHINA, Juno 20. The re ligious world of the Far East is stir red by an anti-Christian movement which started early in May among the students of Peking University, and is now rapidly spreading among the students of private and govern- ment stnools throughout the country, These vounjr neoole term Christianity a superstition and harmful to the people, taking away reverence for ancestors and freedom of thought and action. The new movement has begun an Conditions provoking the prganiia- ! tion of suvh a movement are said by Christian leaders to be the rapid pro gress of Christianity in China, taken together with much talk and adver tising of the recent world's Christian Student Conference and other con ferences of a like nature held in this country. The students are declared to be unconscious tools in the hands j.ut leaders who are seeking favorable conditions for the breaking up of or ganized sciety and the working of Communistic ideas. The leaders of this anti-Christian movement are Dr. Tsai Yanpei, the chancellor of the Peking National University; Wang Chaoming, secre tary to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and Chen Tu-siu, who is a Socialist. Sub-organizations will no doubt spring up. A Free Love Society has already been formed among the students of Amoy University. Considering the possibility of an anti-foreign movement resulting, the local consular bodies have taken up the matter with the commissioner of j foreign affairs who, however, pro j nounces himself unable to give and promise of protection in case of per I secution. Already in a- few places mi i nor outbreaks of a hostile nature . . . against mission work have been re- ported, in apite of the claim by lead- ers of the movement that the pur- pose is to be nothing more than pas- sive resistance.

Hall, director of the institute. It is that with the deflation of the grain market it has again become profitable to market feed grains via the beef market. "Our survey of the beef situation, which has been on for a month, coV-i ered the four leading pure breed cat tle associations, namely, the Here ford, AberdeenAngus, Shorthorn and Galloway, the leading livestock mar kets and some 17,000 farm imple ment dealers," said Mr. Hall. "The investigation," continued Mr Hall, "shows a marked increase in the sale of bulls to farmers and the range cattle growers. This means in creased herds. All reports agree on that. Herds were terribly depleted during-the deflation period and there is still a shortage, but the movement back to normal is now in full swing, As production increase so will con sumption, and the rehabilitation of all industry will be that much ad vanced. "It is not an exaggeration to state that optimism has returned to the farmer. He sees a sure profit in this season's1 work and he is buying trac tors and farm implements and using chem. Our hog survey, recently made public, indicated that the beef sur vey confirms it and our sheep survey, now in progress, will clinch it I am sure. "The survey indicates a profitable market for beef for at least eighteen months longer, and with honest re tailing of meats, the American work ing man should have his beef on the table t least once a day, as of yore. It will not be the growers' fault if he cannot afford it. England has grown to greatness on beef; so has the United States. The return of the steak and the roast ta the table is oi international importance." OH N R CITIZENS ABA N CAN COTTON MARKET.

C, joined the list of leading tobacco growers from South Caroli na who have signed the contract of tho Tobacco Growers Cooperative as sociation within a week. Following the lead of the large planters who have recently chosen the cooperative association as their marketing agency, many tobacco far mers are now making haste to sign before it is too late to market this year's crop at the 38 cooperative warehouses In South Carolina. Contracts pourin'g into the Raleigh headquarters from Horry, Florence, Darlington, Williamsburg and Clar endon counties are adding strength to the association daily. The wildest rumors are being cir culated against the marketing asso ciation at the border market points of North and South Carolina as re vealed by a telegram from Lumber, ton enquiring as to a report that a thousand growers were suing the bur ley association. "Absolutely false" was the term applied to these rumors by Wm. Collins, assistant chief of field service for the burley growers. In answer to a telegram inquiring of the Tri-State organization, Mr. Collins telegraphed as follows: "Report that thousand growers are suing burley association is absolutely false. Members are well satisfied ev ery where and sign-up continues. Six hundred forty new contracts received last week and over five hundred this week. About five thousand members added since warehouses closed. Are confident of ten thousand more be fore next crop delivered." The U. S.

Three Boys From Rocky Mount Make Record Trip by Canoe Over Ninety Miles of Tar River; Unable to Pitch Tent During Storm Last tTht. The storm last night did not hinder three boys from Rocky Mount in making their canoe voyage over ninety miles of the Tar River to this point. The three lads, James Ky ser, Roy Dunn and James Har ris, left Rocky Mount yester day at 11 a.m. and did not let up until they arrived here this morning. The original schedule was to camp during the night, having been prepared to pitch their canvas along the banks while en route. However, the heavy rainfall prevented this rest and they paddled on. The time marie by these hoys is, so far as The Southerner knows, the best yet made on this stretch of Tar river. The distance is estimate to be about ninety miles, and while not navigable to large craft, offers little resistance to the canoe. ASHEV1LLK, June 20.
