Stolen Money Recovered.
The money, $62,000 taken from
the camp bank at Camp Funston,
Kan., by Captain Whistler after he
had murdered four of the bank's
officers, was found yesterday hidden
away in his room. When detection
nf thp horrible murder was about to
fall upon the army officer he committed
suicide. The finding of the
money in Whistler's room does away
with the theory of an accomplice.

Rev MacDowell Receives Cordial Welcome
Here Sunday Night
A very pretty and impressive service
of welcome was that which took
place at the Baptist church here on
Sunday night. The service was interdenominational
and was participated
in by ministers and laymen
from the several Kingstree churches.
Seated on the rostrum with Rev
Mor>r)ntva1] tho near naatrtr uierp Rov
4uuv*/wnvii,vuv uv n pwuwv* , v. v G
T Harmon,of the Methodist church,
Rev Mr Bailey of Edgefield, Presbyterian,
Rev Walter Mitchell, D D,of
Charleston, Episcopal. Mr Harmon
presided, and opened the service with
prayer after a musical selection by
the choir. The lesson was read by
Mr Bailey. Mr McDowell took his
text from Joshua 3?13: "And it
shall come to pass a3 soon as the soles
of the feet of the priests that bear
the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all
the earth shall rest in the waters of
the Jordan," etc. The discourse was
ably delivered, and bore a message
of importance to every listener, emphasizing
as it did the importance
of faith in God and obedience to His
word.
At the conclusion of the service,
words of welcome were extended to
lf^ II T^V 11 1 lf? T ITT /"1?11 I _ ?
Mr raacuoweu Dy mr Li w uinana or
the Presbyterian church and Mr M
A Shuler of the Methodist church.
In behalf of the Episcopal church Dr
Mitchell made a brief address of welcome,
as did also Mr Bailey and Mr
Harmon, and it must indeed have
been an occasion of the most genuine
pleasure and refreshment to all
those not imbued with a spirit of
narrowness, or hide-bound sectarianism,
to hear the remarks of these
able leaders of the local churches.
While the usual offering was being
taken up, Mis MacDowell sang
"Saved," the choir assisting in the
chorus. Mrs MacDowell has a very
sweet voice, and her rendition Sunday
night is evidence of her musical
ability.
