CANTON NEWS AND NOTES
(From Our Special Correspondent)
Canton, Oct. 18. Thousands of people facked to the mountains to-day to pay re- spects to their departed relatives and ancestors whose graves are located in different parts of White Cloud Mountain. As filial piety is encouraged by the authorities here, gendarmes are rent to the outskirts of the city and the ceme- taries to protect the visitors to those places.
Elred motor cars are rushing people to the mountains at fign fares.. Sellers of roast pork, joss papers, and flowers are also doing good business, such articles being used to worship the dead.
Shanghai, October 12. Two rumours circulated during the week-end have been prevent- ed by a timely discovery of their spuriousness from domg any more harm beyond the creation of a mild sensation here and causing some fluctuations in the bond market.
