Are The Missionaries Sete?
A feeling of une:siness for a
he safety of American Mission- n
ries in China is everywhere li
nanifested. The uprising and s
pread of the rebt, cause has ,
,reated no little anxiety for the r
ioble men and womeil who e
iave laid their lives on the alter s
>f sacrifice for I he good of
reathern China.
There are quite a number ini
Mhina from South Carolina, and
bherevolution, therefore. is of I
more than usual concern to us.
From the Columbia Record we
take the names of some of the
missionaries of the Methodist
and Presbyterians from this
State as follows:
Among the Columbians now
in China is Mrs. Fletcher S.
Brockman. a daughter of Mr. I
W. A. Clark. His dau-hter's
husband is the general secretary
f the International Young
Men's Christian association, and
is in charge of the territory ly
ing between Hong Hong and
Korea. His headquarters are
at Shanghai, at which place. 1
Mr. and Mrs. Brockman now
are, according to a letter receiv
ed by Mr. Clark from his
daughter recently.
Rev. J. 0. Reavis, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church I
>f Columbia, is in receipt of late t
information on the situation in
Mhina, though Dr. S. H, Chester
secretary of the executiN e. com
mittee of the foreign missions
work of the Presbyterians o the
United States. Dr. Chester is
located at Nashville. For six I
years Dr. Reavis served with Dr. c
Dhester, as a secretary on this r
:ommittee, and though he has t
ecently been succeeded in this
position by -Dr. Edward W.
mith, he has maintained a -
orrespondence with Dr. Chester a
md is an intimate friend of the c
atter. According to the info:
nation received by Dr. Reavis,
)r. Chester cabled on October
10th to Rev. S. 1. Woodbridge,
Lt Shanghai, inquiring concern- I
ng the safety ""of our mission- e
uries in the present disturbed t
,ondition of the empire. He re
yeived the following cable from
;he Rev. Mr. Woodbridge- "All
afe, Excitement increasing.
)overnment protecting us."
Among other. Presbyterian o

~ver. It is stated that th Ey are at
present on the ocean, enroute to i
hina from America, following
recent visit to this country. 9
ith them is Miss Nell Sprunt, 9
laughter of the Rev. Alexander

Jarolinians are Dr. and Mrs. J. b

)ut of the territory of the rebel
ion. They were in America
ast year.
Amiong the Methodist mission
ries in China is Rev. B. D,
ucas of Cheeterfield county.
Ee is located at Soo Chow, and
so far as can be learned, is not
roubled with' the uprising at
his time. The Rev. Mr. Lucas
s a cousin of Dr. Thomas C:
Lucs osteopath, of this city.
Another Methodist representa
i've who is doubtless well re
nembered by many Columbians
s Mr. Gist Gee. He is also lo

There are a nu~nber of South

Jhina was Dr. Hampden C. Du

Mr Hopkins was dead. It is
thought the cause of his act was
despondency. He had been af

its ravages, and becoming des
