His Death Mourned in China.
Chinkiang. China. Dec. 5.—Allow
me to write a word of appreciation
of a good man who has gone to his
reward. It was with deep sorrow that
we heard of the death of Prof. W. F.
McArthur. One of the last things he
said to us on leaving for China was
♦ hat one of us was to write a letter
to him from China. Alas, we had
hardly arrived when he had been
called over the river. My first meet
ing with him was many years ago
when he was at the head of that fine
school which he. more than any other,
built in Gaffney. The school was
still in a small house which has since
been removed. There was a small
and poorly dressed boy. with coun
try marked all over him. who had
been teaching a little school over at
Midway. By the way, this same hoy
was and eve r has been deeply in
debted to a noble Methodist lady,
Mrs. Ann Waters, who took him in
♦ he days of his need, and helped him
on. This boy walked from Mrs.
Waters’ place night and morning to
attend the school in Gaffney for a
time. From that time on the char
acter and good heart of Prof. McAr
thur has been impressed on his life.
One of the pillars of the town, the
county, and one of the best citizens
in the State has passed. Every boy
and girl in Cherokee had a true friend
in him. and every one must thank
God that such a man lived among
them. From China, we send our deep
est sympathy to the bereaved family-

Uhinkiang. China, Dec. 5.—I want
to give you a few triti notes, or stories
of travel if that will he of any inter
est. We arrived in Shanghai Novem-
her 9th. and found ourselves in
Chinkiang November 10th. What
changes have taken place since we
were here ove r a year ago. A few
days after our arrival I had a ride
on our new train, the equal of any
train on earth! New houses are go
ing up. and things are moving in the
old land. One of the best things was
the greetings ef my Chinese breth-
r o n. What Jcy it b ,, ''vght to me to
see th°ir faces, and to see that they
had held on true in mv long absence.
New wf , k is opening up. and in one
country station tlure are now over
f^riy names given o' enquirers, ami
there are many others in other
olaces.
Dr Willingham is making a trip
around the world visiting the mis
sions. and he was about due here, so
f said to one of the Chinese, a young
•i"< ach'w. “ Wi’i you go out to the
station in the country and ask the
country Christians to come in and
meet Dr. Wl’Iinghair.? He willingly

Uiug time, amj the paths they nick

:i. Mr. Li Jmd thr u days to make 1
a trip of about sixty miles, on a don-
ley. through the mud. I call you to
witness if it does not deserve notice.
Cat a man could start out through
execeedingl.- rough country, on a lit-
♦ !•■ donkey, with such poor comforts,
and stick it through to the end. Mr.
Li had made the rounds, and had
started hack home. Seven of the
cmintry Christians started back with
him. walking through cold, mud and
min. At a place about twenty miles
from Chinkiang the seven men took
to the new railroad track, and walked
on that, but Mr. Li stuck to his littie
steed. Night was coming on, the roads
in a fearful state, overflowed in some
places. Darkness settled down, a
lantern could not be lit on account of
the rain, and the wind, a side track
had to he taken along the foot of the
hill, but Mr. Li would not give in.
The donkey fell down in the mud, the
man who was following to attend the
donkey, begged to stop and spend the
night, said his foot wag sore, said it
wa s impossible to go on. Covered
with mud. soaked with rain, bewilder
ed in murky darkness on a roadless
road, still Mr. Li pressed on. for to
morrow was the Sabbath, and he was
expected back! How the little ani
mal picked big way along, the silent
figure of the man behind following
as best he could. ho w long it seemed
till the lights of Chinkiang began tc
twinkle in the distance* There was
no bright cosy fire at the end of the
journey to make him forget, or to
dry his clothes. This brave man,
only a few years ago a heathen, press
ed his way through well nigh impos
sible difficulties to perform what he
considered his duty! Talk of the
ride of Paul RtvWBl B» war, *
good horse, and glory all around
him. The modest little man did not
say much about It tmt he had per
formed a heroic deed for Jesus’ sake. I

met these seven country men and
looked into their faces, and loved them
and won their love. They had walk
ed about twenty-five miles through
rain and mud to hear Dr. Willing
ham. His visit was a great blessing
to them and to all of us.
I will finish with the story of anoth
er trip. We had been out five days.
We started home, coming through the,
hillg on our spring wheelbarrow, and !
what glorious beauty of hill and val
ley! The weather was fine qpd there
was no hardship about that kind of
travel for us. We had had a glorious 1
reception everywhere in the country.
Why. Mr. Feng had one of his fine!
"Red Rock” chickens (they do not,
call them that) killed for our benefit.)
Nowhere would they let us pay for,
anything.
We arrived in the little town twen-'
tv miles from Chinkiang, and went |
to a dirty Chinese inn. We arrived |
about five, and expected to have a
miserable night, and a whole day**
travel next day to get home. Some
one came and said. “The fire wheel
cart has jnst come.” Mr. Li and I
rushed off down to the railroad, and
there was a construction engine with
one dirt car. The road is not open
there yet. I saw the engineer and
ashed him if we could go to Chinkiang
with him. He took us up, I on the
engine, and MY. U on the car. In
half an hoqy we were in Chinkiang.
and what a thrill to feel the good
American engine respond to the touch
and leap forward, devouring v

MAKES LIFE MISERABLE-
Troubles That Keep Half the Gaffney
Doctors Busy.
Half the prescriptions the Gaffney
doctors write are for troubles that
result directly from a weakened
stomach. Strengthen the stomach
muscles, increase the secretiftn of
gastic Juices, and you will find that
common afflictions—indigestion, with
its headaches, dizziness, depression
of spirits, spots before the eyes nerv
ousness, sleeplesness and general do-
billty—bave been overcome.
From now on build up the strength
and health of the stomach with Ml-
o-na tables. You will soon find your
self strong and never know the mean
ing of indigestion. If Ml-o-na did not
have an unusually curative* effect in
stomach disorders. It could not be
sold on the guarantee given by the
Gaffney Drug Co. to refund the money
unless it does all that Is claimed for
it. The Gaffney Drug Co. gives an
absolute, unqualified guarantee with
every 50-cent box of Ml-o-na that the
money will be refunded unless the
medicine cures. They take the whole
risk, and you certainly can afford to
get Ml-o-na from them on this plan.
It Does the Business.
Mr. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton,
Maine, says of Bueklen’s Arnica
Salve. ’Tt doee the business; I have
used it for pilea and it cured them.
Used It for chapped hands and It
cured them. Applied It to an old sore
and it healed it without leaving a
scar behind.” 25c at Cherokee Drug
