With view to uplift the Chinese i'll
their own country, ]. d. Rockefeller is
planning to donate $50, 900 900. The
fact that the oil king has decided to
give this enormous sum has been
made public by men who were con-
suited by him as to the best method
Of istributing it SO that it will do the
most good. . Rockefeller thinks that
$50000,00O will be sufficient to lead
the orientals into paths of western
civilization by endowing in the Chinese
empire educational institutions free
from any religious organization.
The gift, which is the largest single
sum ever donated in the interest of
philanthropic work, is the one Rookie
Teller referred to in a guarded way
when he recently gave 32,O0e,0 900 to
the cause of general education At
that time he announced that in the
near future he would have something
to say of greater interest than the
| gift to general education. Should the
purpose be realized he hopes a new
enlightened power will be added to
the worlds nations. He has given
this matter much thought in recent
years and finally decided that a sum
| like that which he will give would be
| needed to carry on the work of up
| lifting tho Chinese. He appreciates
| the noble work being done by Christ
| ian missionaries and at the same
time regrets that they have been un.
| able to accomplish more than they
| have.
| Rockefeller has learned that the
missionaries have conducted theiI
work principally among the lower
| classes. 1t is his intention to change
conditions in this respect He is de
sirous of having the influential ele
ment educated first, thereby starting
at the top.
Although Rockefeller has not as ye
worked out all the details of his plans
it is known that throughout the EN-
pire he will establish educational in
: stitutions modelled after the one callet
!, the International institute in Shang
hal.
I AT this institution only the bette
class of Chinese are given the advan
: tage of receiving an education. 1t il
not his purpose to allow religion t,
: be one of the studies. He is NOR
anxious that the benefits of home lif
i'll tire more enlightened nation
j should be taught.
= John d. Rockefeller says there i
t no truth in the report that the OF
l king would give $5O,0O0,O00 to modern
Q ize the Chinese. According to his sec
: rotary, Mr.. Rockefeller will leave Al
j gusta on Monday for New York.

the riot which cost the life of one
man, resulting in the shooting up OF
several houses and eventually the dis
