The farmers will soon begin to gather In what they have labored for during the planting and growing seasons. Thus they have to rejoice and give thanks. It appears that .there Is much to encourage emigration from the mills to the farm; but when investigated and a calculation of all expenses is counted up, there Is much to die courage those that would rent.

Newton TelIsof Some of the Pos sibilities of Trade Development With the Hermit Nation. Rev. Dr. J. J. C. Newton, the Methodist missionary to Japan who spoke at Main Street Methodist church Wednesday evening. has pent many years, la that country and Is conversant with conditions as they exist in Japan, China and Ko rea, not only as relates to religious conditions but as regards commer cial conditions as well. An author of some note, he has for many years made"a study of all phases of life In these eastern nations and 'what he has to say about these peoples, the! present status and their future prospects, is not only interesting but may be depended upon as being most reliable. In conversation with The Gazette man yesterday Dr. Newton did not hesitate to say that, at the present time, the Germans, English and Jap anese are far more active In their efforts to obtain the business of the vast Chinese empire than are the Americans. Even In the remotest corners of China, be says, one will find the representatives of manufac turing concerns, wholesalers and commercial bodies of England, Ger many and Japan, busily engaged In winning trade from the Celestial. If America is to get her share of bus! nesa from China she must do as oth ers do and go after it. There has In recent years been a disposition on the part of the Chinese to boycott American goods but this can eventu ally be overcome by persistent and systematic work on the part of American manufacturers and busi ness men. The "Sleeping Giant," as this nation was formerly wont to be called, this "hermit nation," only began a few years ago to awaken from her centuries-long stagnation and the possibilities of her develop ment in the future are wonderful to contemplate. When the Panama canal is com pleted there will most probably be established new steamship lines be tween Southern ports, such as Sa- vannah, Norfolk, Charleston and New Orleans, and the principal ports of China and Japan. When that time comes, Dr. Newton thinks, the possibilities of the development of a vast business between the South and those countries will be such as we cannot now conceive of. With that world-event only five or six years in the future it is high time, he thinks, that the commercial bodies of South ern cities should begin to lay defin ite prans to advertise the South and Southern goods in the far western countries. Manchuria, he thinks, of fers the finest field for new business. It Is rapidly developing and progress Ing. Dr. Newton gave, as the chief rea son why Americans have largely abandoned China as a field for trade development, the fact that we are too Impatient and are not willing to bide our time. If the American can not see dividends coming back be fore his investment is out of sight he is not satisfied.- The English, Ger mans and Japanese are willing to watch and wait, a little while, sure thc the returns will eventually come and they are right; we are wrong. He cited as an instance the city of Yokahoma, which, he said, was largely built by Americans. Some years ago capitalists from America Invested in real estate and business enterprises In that - city, built streets and planted considers ble capital. The returns were slow coming in and they abandoned the city almost entirely. . Such a policy, he thinks, is verss short-sighted Dr. Newton is a most interesting conversationalist and .the' reporter enjoyed greatly, hearing him dis course for ; a short while on this phase of conditions in the countries where he has spent so many years of his useful life and with which he is as familiar, perhaps, as any liv ing man. He is at present at home on leave of absence and will later return to Japan to again take up his missionary work. He went yes terday to Pickens, 8. , to deliver aa address. Come to. Gastonia next Monday. ; -Mrs. D. Lebovitx, who has been ill at her home for some days, is now able to be np a tain. CITY SCHOOLS TO OPEN.
