OR SALES and complimentary remarks in our suit and dress section, and, too, there seemed to be a general disposition on the part of the shoppers to look at every store, in the city
and by actual count eight out of ten prospective buyers who could be fitted here, bought. This has prompted us to command our New York buyer to make another purchase of twen
ty-five suits to be delivered at once. These suits will be on sale Monday, and to those who are in search of a suit or dress, will find Kelly’s the practical place, from an economical as
well as a correct style-securing standpoint. We intend to make this coming week even more attractive to prospective buyers than the past, and to protect our patrons against any
advance in price on any line of merchandise we handle. There is every indication that winter is new to be with us, and the advice of the weather man is to make preparation for

Negro Makes Crop Clear of Debt
"Uncle Abe” Toole, a Picturesque Character, Didn’t Even
Change His Place of Abode When Freedom Came and
Still Lives in Log Cabin He Cut Timbers For When a
Young Man and Occupied As a Slave---Expects to Raise
Another Crop Next Year.
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Staff Corespondent,
The Augusta Herald.
Aiken, S. C.—Nearly a third of a
century ago—to be more exact, 32
years back —when Mr. Owen Alderman,
former sheriff of Aiken county, bought
the plantation he now operates, a mile
or so from the White, Pond station,
and went there to take possession of
his land, he found occupying one of
the tenant houses on the place a ne
gro man then somewhere past fifty.
Most of the negro's years prior to that
time had been spent on that planta
tion, there where he had in ante
bellum days done service as the slave
o; his white master; and like other
slaves h took the name of his owner,
Toole, a not uncommon name In Aiken
Ciunty today. Abe Toole, or “Uncle
Abe” as the old darkey Is more fa
miliarly known around White Pond,
now 'going on ninety," Is still occupy
ing the same house of hewn logs
where. In the early eighties, Mr. Aider
man found him, a house the now aged,
man himself erected when he was ■
young and strong, first cutting the]
timbers out of the forest. Through j
the long span of his useful years he j
has been content to continue in free- i
dom as he began service in slavery, l
tilling the soil, and now that he has
reached an honorable old age, In spite
of his Infirmities, “Uncle Abe" is still
farming. At the age of *5 he cleared
an acre of new ground—grub-hoed It--
and it was with pride shining out from
his black face that he showed me his
splendid cottort made on that patch of
new ground. That was two year* ago.
This year the old darkey has raised
a crop, had a few dollars to his credit
before his cotton was gathered, end
owes no man a cent.
When freedom came, the emanci
pated Aba did not forsake the soil to
follow after strange gods Freedom
meant no more to him than that he
was placed on Ms own responsibility.
He worked on In much the same ma i
ner he had worked the year previous,
thy year before that, and almost as
far hark as he could remember. No
wild fa’lacy of "forty acres and a mule 1
lured him away from the only home
he know He did not even change hie
place of abode, and It mattered not
to him whether he or some other own
ed the land on w'hlch he lived —It wag
good, fertile land and he knew that
a living could be dug out of the eoll.
s I doubt If "Uncle Abe" ever once felt
an uneasiness about his living on it
the eame old home, not even when the
ow nership of the land changed hands;
since then I know ht« mind has been
et esse; and as the year* of his tenure
have mutllplled the old darkey has
come to feel a senee of ownership In
hi.- hut and his patch and hie garden
yes. and his graveyard.
tn the sl>ad»w of hie cabin, "Une<e
Abe" has burled three wives. He has

raised three families. Throughout the
whole countryside his children, grand
children and great-grandchildren are
scattered, all on farms. He lives alone
except for the company of his young
est son, now about 20, though he has
grandchildren older than that. On
Saturday afternoons, the half holiday
of the week in the country, it Is nut
uncommon for some of “Uncle Abe’s"
dencendautwliving in the neighborhood,
relieved of their accustomed work in
the fields, to come and, in the sum
mer, hoe out the old man’s cotton, or,
In the fall, to help gather it.
“Uncle Abe's" age is variously esti
mated. I doubt if any negro ever
lived to reach 75 whose age was not
exaggerated beyond the. century mark.
"Uncle Abe" does not himself know it,
but Mr. Alderman, who has gone to
some pains to ascertain as nearly as
possible, places hia age at 87 or 88.
His eyesight, his hearing and hla men
tal faculties are practically unimpair
ed by his accumulation of years, and
tn spite of the "rheumatics,” of which
he complains, and the natural wearing
out of the human engine, he still re
tains much of the fire and the spirit
of a youth that has long ago spent It
self.
His Is a remarkable record as he
Is a remarkable negro. His has been
a humble life but a useful life. Such
simple wants as are his will be sup
plied him the remainder of his days
He has performed hla share of the
work of the world, more than his share,
but not content with that “Uncle Abe"
will cultivate a patch of cotton, make
a little corn and raise a few vege
tables and watermelons next year If ho

days ago, "4f I was a young man and

RESULTS HARD
Women Wage-Earner* of Lon
don Suffering, of Whom Over
Sixty Thousand Have Been
Discharged, Heavily From
Effects.
London.—The economic results of
war have fallen heavily on the women
wage earners of Ixindon, of whom
over 60.000 have been discharged from
employment since August first. In the
single district of Islington, 800 were
discharged the past week by two bot
tling works, which were forced to
close down because their supply of
bottles from Germany had been cut
off. While the ponderous machinery
of Queen Mary’s Fund to give work to
women Is slowly making ready, the
Society of American Women In Lon
don has started a small knitting fac
tory of Its own in this populous dis
trict.
Mrs. Joseph Wilcox Jenkins started
the factory. She walked one day Into
a labor exchange where 600 women
were registered and asked for those
who could knit. They were then put
to work knitting by hand, sock* and
comforters, and paid on the union scale
of three pence an hour. This Insures a
weekly wage of for forty hours.
Factory Funds.
Funds for running the factory are
obtained by the sale of socks, caps
and belts, which are knitted expressly
for the soldiers and sailors. The pur
chaser Is expected to present the same
to the men at the front. Other funds
are obtained by contributions.
One of the employes In the American
factory Is a women with a husband
out of work, a paralysed sister to ( are

from three to sixteen year. Her eld-
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, Just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw It
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time The effect Is Im
mediate and arnszlbg-your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an In
comparable lustre, softness and lux
uriance, the beauty and shimmer of
trua hair health.
Get a 25-eent bottle of Knowlton’n
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair la as pretty and aoft aa any
that It haa been neglected or Injured
