Chamber of Commerce Arranges a (iet-Together Dinner For Tuesday Evening October 7. Rennettsvllle, Special to Columbia Record Oct. 2.?The chamber of commerce here is preparing for the greatest get-together dinner on the evening of October 7 ever held in this county. This will be a county-wide afTair and prominent business men from various parts of the county have been invited to be present and make addresses on the various phases of cooperation, these speeches not to exceed five minuets In length. A general Invitation has been extended to all the business men in the county, and indications are that 300 or more ?.111 1 * utt-ii win uo present. The forward movement that is so pronounced in the eastern part of this , state is meeting; with the hearty com- | jnendation of the business men of Malboro county, and through the j chamber of commerce here an effort j will be made to have every man In i the county cooperate in the movement for broadening the commerical lines. In all parts of the county men j who do things are awakening; to the necessity of cooperative endenvor and are ready to assist in the work. The chamber of commerce here recognizes the necessity of working for the common interest of the entire county, and Its energies, under the direction of Tom M. Morgan, who has been/ so deeply interested for the past I wo years in the commerical advancement' in the entire Pee Dee section, the ' work will be pushed with vigor. The organization here has secured ! office room for the secretary on the ground floor in the Cotton Association building and when all the furnishings are placed the chamber of commerce here will have the most handsomely r?n 11 i nnhH hondnnort ore In tKn The work of the recently organized commerical effort is starting with much promise of accomplishing splendid results. Mr. Morgan believes that the business man in the city and the 1 business man in the country should each forget where the town's corporation line Is when it comes to doing things for the common Interest of all. I He also believes that all business ef- i fort, in its final analysis should build & more virile manhood and a sweeter and more perfectly attuned womanhood, and that to bring about these much desired ends men and women must work in harmony in all things for the common good. This belief is | basic In the Bennettsville chamber of i commerce. CHINESE KILL AMERICAN CHILD Legation Fears Ransom Alone Can Snve Missionaries Held Captive. Peking, Oct. ?.?The American Legation here received a report to- | day from J. Paul Jameson, vice con mil general at Shanghai, sa* ^ng an American child had been killed and i other foreigners were being mal- ] treated by Chinese brigands at Tsao '* Yang. The Legation fears the Chinese | government troops cannot accomplish the release of American and Norwe-1 gian missionaries In the hands of the t bandits at Tsao Yang and that ran- : som alone can save the lives of for- ! eigners still In captivity. Through efforts of the American Legation and consulates the mission- | aries have been kept out of unsafe districts during the past two years. ] They were not restricted from going t othe northern part of the province i of Hu Peh, which hitherto had not been considered dangerous. Nearly 3,000 Chinese troops are advancing on the town of Tsao Yang. 1 A communication to the American consulate had reported that the mis- I slonaries. Revs. S. C. Stokstad and Johnson, were proceeding to Tsao j Yang from Slang Yang Fu. but their | expedition evidently failed, as Stokstad telegraphed today as follows: "The robbers still holding Tsao Yang. The little son of Rev. Harmon Fauske, atached to the mission of the Lutheran Brethren, has been killed. A foreign rescuing party again Is proceeding to Tsao Yang." TAFT WILL ATTEND.
