If this be true, it only adds to the enormity of the deed -md shows how danger -.ous mob law is. -The only safe way is to stick to the law. Let the law deal with all classes of criminals and then our hands] wd.1 be kept clean of human ] blood. The people of Pickens should not be satisfied with present ar- t rangements for expre ss matter. 'We ought to have an express office here operated by the Southern Express Co. There is business enough to justify an' ..rifangement like this and our i business~ men should take steps to have it established. The reasonl why so much Go rgia land is advertised for sale in this state is because those ( Georgia people want the South ] Carolinians to teach them how E to farm.

A feeling of une:siness for a he safety of American Mission- n ries in China is everywhere li nanifested. The uprising and s pread of the rebt, cause has , ,reated no little anxiety for the r ioble men and womeil who e iave laid their lives on the alter s >f sacrifice for I he good of reathern China. There are quite a number ini Mhina from South Carolina, and bherevolution, therefore. is of I more than usual concern to us. From the Columbia Record we take the names of some of the missionaries of the Methodist and Presbyterians from this State as follows: Among the Columbians now in China is Mrs. Fletcher S. Brockman. a daughter of Mr. I W. A. Clark. His dau-hter's husband is the general secretary f the International Young Men's Christian association, and is in charge of the territory ly ing between Hong Hong and Korea. His headquarters are at Shanghai, at which place. 1 Mr. and Mrs. Brockman now are, according to a letter receiv ed by Mr. Clark from his daughter recently. Rev. J. 0. Reavis, pastor of the First Presbyterian church I >f Columbia, is in receipt of late t information on the situation in Mhina, though Dr. S. H, Chester secretary of the executiN e. com mittee of the foreign missions work of the Presbyterians o the United States. Dr. Chester is located at Nashville. For six I years Dr. Reavis served with Dr. c Dhester, as a secretary on this r :ommittee, and though he has t ecently been succeeded in this position by -Dr. Edward W. mith, he has maintained a - orrespondence with Dr. Chester a md is an intimate friend of the c atter. According to the info: nation received by Dr. Reavis, )r. Chester cabled on October 10th to Rev. S. 1. Woodbridge, Lt Shanghai, inquiring concern- I ng the safety ""of our mission- e uries in the present disturbed t ,ondition of the empire. He re yeived the following cable from ;he Rev. Mr. Woodbridge- "All afe, Excitement increasing. )overnment protecting us." Among other. Presbyterian o nissionaries fromn this state lo- ~ ~ated in Bhina ai-e Dr. and Mrs. ?, Frank Price; whose leg iursaeat Na ~g.

It is stated that th Ey are at present on the ocean, enroute to i hina from America, following recent visit to this country. 9 ith them is Miss Nell Sprunt, 9 laughter of the Rev. Alexander Jharlesbn. Among other Presbyterian S ~epresentatives now in China E who are well known to South Jarolinians are Dr. and Mrs. J. b E. Wilkinson are at So Chow, t the Elizabeth Blake Hospital which is said to be somewhat * )ut of the territory of the rebel ion. They were in America ast year. Amiong the Methodist mission ries in China is Rev. B. D, ucas of Cheeterfield county. Ee is located at Soo Chow, and so far as can be learned, is not roubled with' the uprising at his time. The Rev. Mr. Lucas s a cousin of Dr. Thomas C: Lucs osteopath, of this city. Another Methodist representa i've who is doubtless well re nembered by many Columbians s Mr. Gist Gee. He is also lo ated at Soo Chow. There are a nu~nber of South arolinians, members of the aptist denomination, n o w vorking as missionaries in var ous portions of China. In the outhern sectiods are Miss Lula ai Whilden of Greenville and the Elev. Mrs. John Lake of Edge ield.

D. pastor f the First B- .ptist church of.I )arlington, and both father and aughter a r e w e 11 kn:>wn hroughout the state. Of Special interest to Colum >ians is the fact that in the in erior portion of China, at Ching . how, in the province of Honan, LIre located the Rev, and Mrs. V. W. Lawton. Mr, Lawton ai originally from Lawtonville n the lower section of the state and is a brother of Mrs. Phdebe, indsay a proiminent dentist of i joumbia. Among the South Carolinians vho did long and untiring ser- a -ice in the cau- e of missions in Jhina was Dr. Hampden C. Du le who was among the lead rs in the mission field for half i ,century. Dr. DuBose was a epresentative of the Presby erian denomination, but is ridely know~ n throughout thi) ountr~ among all the Christian hurches. He died in 1910. Ers.

Mr. Du ~so is a son of Dr. Hanir~di~o * uBose. In addition to these there are thers, from these and other de. ominations, from South Caro na, who are now in China. ] )me of whom are connected! rith Columbia people. The tev. Robert Wilson. D.

The sad event as told here is hat last Saturday morning Mrs. Flopkins after dressing a sore on ier husband's face excused her self to go' into the garden and ,hat before she returned, which was not more than five minutes, ;he heard a pistol fire in the house and hastening in found her husband lying on the floor. She immediately called a near neighbor but before he arrived Mr Hopkins was dead. It is thought the cause of his act was despondency. He had been af flicted for several years with cancer on the face which had made its way into the muscles f the neck and was continiing its ravages, and becoming des pondent over his condition he sought relief in death.
