John D. Rockefeller is said to be
annoyed By the refusal of his gift OF
S10a 900 TO the foreign mission board.
Re may veil be annoyed, for it is an
indication that the public conscience
IS becoming aroused, that the people
are finding that there is such a thing
as clean money and money that is not

promptly the chances of this road be-

Charleston will be excellent. If the
road Is not built at once the proposed
sroad from Winston to Wadesboro will
undoubtedly be built and this road
sRiH give through line, though not
an air line, to Charleston, in connec

The morning trains from Florence
to Sumter for which the people living
between this city and Florence and
the Sumter Chamber Of Commerce are
working would be a great benefit to
this city and the merchants who would
receive the greatest benefit should
support the movement in every way
possible and use their personal in
Huence to supplnent the efforts being
made by others. It has been suggested
that by putting on this train the reg
zliar evening train from Augusta to
Florence could be relieved of the 10
cal traffic between this city and Flor
ence which would enable it to make
much better time We believe the train
asked for would pay the railroad and
we know it would be a great con-
genience to -1e patrons Of the road.
