Mrs. D. Clarence Brown will be a

She is the only woman In a municipal

Secretary Tommy Miller, of Flor

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

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.”

WHAT CHINA’S WAR IS ABOUT.
the Chan&Liang. combination. •• ^
General Wn is the military chief who-
controls Central China. 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!

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.!

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-
