South CarolInians in China a.
missionaries, which gives people
of this state q deep interest in
the troubles of the Flowery
Kingdom. The following from
the Greenville Mountaineer gives
the names of many Of the South
Carolina missionaries:
There is q great interest now
manifested in the safety of the
Christian missionaries in China,
many Of whom have gone from
this section of the country. In
fact, South Carolina has furnish
ed a large proportion of the mis-
sionaries from every denomina-
tioD, and naturally their relatives
and friends are quite anxious
about their welfare.
"But so far as can be ascsr-
tanned there is only one South
Caroliniau in the disturbed dis
trict around Pekin and Tien. .Tsln.
This is Mrs. Gilbert Reid, who
was Miss Sallie Reynolds. She
went out to China about eight
years ago rs . missionary of the
Methodist Episcopal church,
South, but returned to this coun-
try and while here was married
in Oolumbia to Rev. Gilbert Reid,
whom she had met in China. DR..
Reid was . Presbyterian mis-
sionary but conceived the idea of
founding an international insti.
tute for the education of the
higher class of Chinese, and upon
this plan he has been working
for the last few years. He has
the confidence of the powers that
be in China and is quite close to
the ruling class. He has visited
this country and Europe in the
interest of his scheme and is re-
garded as very able man.
"Mrs. Reid 10 a sister of DR..
S. M. Reynolds, of this city, and
DR.. Reynolds has not heard from
her since he received q letter
written about the middle of
March, in which tho "Boxer"
troubles were mentioned only
casually. When this letter was
written, DR.. and Mrs. Reid were
at Pekin, and DR.. Reynolds be-
lieves they are still there. Inas-
much as mail and cable commu-
nication is interrupted, DR.. Rey
nolds is naturally very much
concerned about his sisters
safety.
