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 Coal Suits * mi E have specialized this price suit this season with greater success than ever and have gathered together the most wonderful values ever shown in any city in the South at this price.

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 llvea.

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 for and seven children ranging In age from three to sixteen year.
