Dear Sir: | have your favor of the

mediation of passenger service in your

"We have in mind some changes
to be made in connection with other

that if your people will prevent the

diateIy preceding the arrival of trains,
there will be less inconvenience to our
patrons and the good people of Mad

agent he will inform you that with
but rare exceptions, say Fourth of
July, circus and during the fair, there
are ample seats in any three of the
waiting rooms to care for all the pas
sengrs booked for any one train. We
are not expected, nor do we wish to
furnish shelter and seats for the loaf
ers, and think you will bear ME our
in the statement that but for these,
and those who simply visit the station
to see and be seen, there would be am
pie room on the platform and during
inclement weather in the station, for
those having business there. How
ever, as stated in the beginning, it Is
our intention to make Improvements
that will be in keeping, in our opin-

FOR STARVING JAPAN.
Funds Are Being Raised Locally
by Miss Alice Miller.
MOST WORTHY RELIEF MOVEMENT.

For more than month past Amer
ican missionaries and Christian nat
tives in Japan have written of the
prevalence of famine conditions in
the Northern Provinces of the Mika-
dos empire. In the great war with
Russia, japanese farmers left their
fields and their homes by tens of
thousands to follow the standards of
their country, and to prevent it and
the whole of Western Asia from fall
ing under the power of Russia. AT
what fearful cost the war was carried
on the rest of the world will never
know. The old men, women and
children who were left behind made a
brave but Intellectual struggle for ex-
istence, but are now the victims of
pinching poverty and must depend,
at least until the next small crops are
made, upon charity.
Conservative estimates show that
there are over 100000 persons in
Northern Japan who are now suffer-
ing from actual starvation. The Jap
anese government is doing all it can
through a relief system to relieve the
suffering; but the long war which
robbed Japan of thousands of her
bravest sons, has so depleted the ma
tional resources that the help afforded
from that quarter is quite inadequate.
Therefore the missionaries have ap-
pealed for aid from America as the
friend of Japan. An urgent appeal
for aid has recently been sent out
from Japan signed by a committee of
missionaries representing the various
churches at work in the field.
This appeal takes on local inter-
est for the people of Darlington and
surrounding towns, for the reason
that Miss Alice Miller, so well known
and we'll beloved by our people, re-
Gently returned from her labors as a
missionary in Japan, is actively in
terested in this relief movement. THE
| BEE urges all those who can contrib
ute to this fund to do SO now. Mis-:
Miller has already forwarded at Least
one remittance to Japan and has some
other money in her hands which she
hopes will be added to, so that snug
sum may be sent within the nexl
week We suggest that friends see
Miss. Miller and talk with her and give
her their contributions. Or contribu-
tions OF any amount will gladly bt
received by the editor of THE BEE,
from those who may find this more
convenient, and such contribution:
will be placed in Miss Miller's hands
to be forwarded for relief of the suf'
fering Japanese.

Uncle Obadiah Dawson, having

Bob writes his uncle that Clarice is

father was a bankrupt, etc. Uncle

Obadiah believe that Clarice is a lu-

Uncle Obadiah is a raving maniac.
One lie brings on another, and an
other, until he is compelled to send
