Clarence Brown will be a candidate for alderman in Anderson. She is the only woman In a municipal contest in which there are 18 candi dates. Secretary Tommy Miller, of Flor ence Rotary chib, has just received an interesting letter from Treasurer F. A. Stokes, of the Johannesburg, South Africa, Rotary club. In the totter, Mr, t Stokes states they are 6,000 miles j from the nearest ; RoWy club. But the distance from Florence is pretty I well hmphasizeu ov me fac-t that the ] letter was mailed March 27 and ar- 1 rived here May o—a «>ng way, as the | average person measures distance ] from dispatch to delivery of ai letter. | The letter, relating matters of in- ! terest ranging from Rotary news to [ near-revolution in which the author participated, is as follow: "Johannesburg, S. A. March 27, 1922. Dear Friend Miller: Your kind letter reached me i a few days ago and was duly pro- j duced and appreciated at our weekly lunch today. We here, being as we are some 6,000 miles from the next Rotary club, do feel a nice thrill when we receive such letters as yours. We had with us today a visitor from Dur ban, who, with others, is endeavoring to form a Rotary club there so wo hope in a few months time that we shall not be quite so lonely in South Africa. One thing that 1 thank Rotary for is that it has brought me into friendship with some dozen o» more of your countrymen. 1 am a citizen of Johannesburg of nearly 35 years standing, having come here | when 1 was a young man, hut I feel that, thanks to Rotary, 1 have made more friends in the past year than in all the other 34. The U. S. A. have sent some very fine men to this country, I mean no disparagement to to other Americans when I say that I have come to this deliberate con clusion, that the men sent here were specially selected because they were of the very best—hut maybe I’m wrong, perhaps there is no second grade. You . wonder why 1 am writing to you! Well, I’ve made it a practice for sometime past to write once a week to a brother Rotarian in some distant part, and as I do so I turn up his town in an atlas and try to picture his whereabouts. I suppose your town is nearing the 15.000 popu lation mark. What are your indus tries? Cotton, sugar, tobacco rice. Do you do much manufacturing? 1 Have you got your negro trouble? Do 1 you spend your week end by the sea? ,It looks only about 2 hours distant. If Florence publishes a daily paper, [no doubt it does, 1 should like it if 1 you would send me a copy. We have [just got over the hluggy part of a ! stupid attempt at revolution. All Ro- tarians lent both hands to the govern ment. The trouble broke out quite suddenly and every man had to jump at the first job that came his wa/. Most of us, I think, did motor trans port. Must break away here. With host regards I am, Very truly yours, Frank A. Stokes.” Carlos Corbett, convicted of man slaughter in Orangeburg, in connec tion with the murder of one of three men whom he shot to death, was yes terday sentenced to eighteen years. - The appointment of John S.

He is .accord-: mg to most accounts, a better man than General Chang. It is not denied that he has employed intrigue, but it is alleged in his behalf that intrigue; is necessary in China, that General 1 Wu has used it only because he had to and that he is himself honest and par. .otic. Whether this is true or not, j naturally do not know; but, on u.c v-uole, the oyidence s^qms to favor General Wu against General Chang. Nobody, so far as we are aware, has accused General Wu of being an agent of the Japanese mill-! taiists, while General Chang seems to; be rather heavily tarred with that! stick. ’ So sympathy in this country is likely to incline to the side of Gen-, era! Wu, and those who take any in terest in the proceedings at all will be glad to observe that Wu seems to be get'ing the better of the fighting.! —The News and Courier. TWO CASES HEARD COMMON PLEAS COURT la tlie court of common pleas today a jury found a verdict for the plain tiff Vonzo Flowers, acting as guardim ad litem, in the case against W:('ker D.

See Our Window L. FINKELSTEIN, Mgr. 27 East Evans St. TWO COMMISSIONS IN CONFERENCE There may be some people in this country who would like to get some understanding of the war in China. In undertaking to do so, the first practi cal step is to eliminate the long Chinese names. These simply con fuse the American reader. So let us call General Chang Tso lin simply General Chang and shorten General Wu Pei-fn to General Wu and so on down the list. There are two governments in China, due to the fact that the revo lution which created the Republic was followed by a split between North and South. One of these governments headed by Sun, was set up at Canton; the other, headed by Hsu, was set up at Pekin. Neither had any real t strength and the power soon fell in to the hands of various military lead ers in the provinces. The war now ) going on results from an attempt of ; one of these leaders. General Chang, to dominate the Pekin government. General Chang Is boss of Manchuria. He used to be a bandit and seems still to he a bandit on a large scale. He is exceedingly ambitious, and is said | Friends of W. F. Seymour will re- to he entirely unscrupulous; and for | Rr ,,t to hear that lie Is confined to a a long time lie has been accused of local hospital where he has under- Thp past indebtedness and govern ing convi'issions are holding a joint conference Ihis afternoon.
