Big Sale to Reduce Stock.

Early in the summer when Mr.. Ru-
bernstein purchased his large fall
stock cotton was selling for a good
price and everything appeared to be
prosperous Now the situation is en-
tirely different. He finds that he has
entirely too many goods and they
much be sold. In order to move out
the goods at once when the people
need them he is conducting a special
sale that should make the shopping
public of Edgefeld take notice. Read
in his full page advertisement this
week of the wonderful bargains Mr..
Rubenstein is offering. You do not
receive much for cotton it is true,
but he can make that small amount
of money go long ways in supply
ing the family needs.

Other Banks Came to Rescue.

It has been said that corporations
have no souls, yet many of them
prove themselves to be more mag
unanimous than some individuals. A
striking example of the unselishness
and magnanimity of some corpora
tions is found in the recent example
of the banks of Columbia. To the in
jury Of one of the banks in the city,
it became rumored that the institu-
ton was not on sound basis, caus-
ing some persons to lose confidence
and draw out their money. Every
body knows who knows anything
about banking that no financial in
stitution, especially at time like
this can long withstand what is call
ed a "run," concerted withdrawal
of funds by depositors. Like most
individuals, banks do not carry very
large amount of idle money. 1t is
not necessary. For that reason none
of them are prepared to meet, with
out notice, usually heavy withdraw
ais of money.
But OF go back to our Columbia
story, the ill-founded report concern
ing certain bank were calculated to
greatly impair the institution, and
in order to protect their sister bank
by restoring the confidence of the
people, every local bank came out in
a signed statement, emblazoned on a
full page of a newspaper avowing
their confidence in the bank and
pledging themselves to protect every
depositor against loss. Wasn't that
soulful act?, Wasn't it an exhibition
of unselfshness rarely seen among
individuals who are competitors?

Buy Christmas Seals.
1t should not<be necessary to urge
people all who can possibly do so,
to buy Christmas seals. The money
derived from their sale will be used,
as heretofore in stamping out tuber-
culosis Consumption is prevent
able and ar eradicable disease.
Science has demonstrated this over
and over again. It is therefore a re-
flection on the people of South Caro-
lima that there are such large num-
Der of victims of consumption. Just
as persistent effort has almost erad-
icated smallpox, a disease so wide
spread and so terribly dreaded few
decades ago, the same can be accom-
plished with consumption. However,
to do this money is needed. Christ
mas seals are put on sale for the pur-
pose of raising the necessary funds.
By each individual contributing a
small sum the burden falls lightly on
all and yet the desired end is accom-
plished.

Grand Pre-, N. s., Sept. 10
Where once the pines and the hem

voices sad and prophetic, near the
little village of Grande Pre- on tho
shores of the Basin OF Minas,
scene of Evangeline's story told by
the poet Longfellow, life-sized
statue was unveiled of the fair
Acadian maiden.
The site, so tradition says, was
the farm of Evangeline's father,
Benedict Bellefontaine, wealthiest
farmer of Grande Pre-. The statue
is bronze and it stands by the we'll
that is known in the region as
Evangeline's well and still from it's

water drawn from its cool depths
Now the maiden of romance will

The wife of the famous Lord
Burnham, a newspaper owner of
England, gently threw off the veil
of the statue at its dedication while
Sir Gilbert Parker spoke of the
friendship that binds together the
people of France and England. In
the large gathering present, were
men Of the imperial press from five
continents visiting Canada.
Though waste are those pleas

departed scattered like dust and

october seize them and whirl them
aloft and sprinkle them far DER the

rafters of oak, the house of the
farmer stood on the side of q hill

Farther down on the slope of the
hill was the well with its moss

head of the Polish peace mission,
and Adolph Joffe, chief of the

ion was expressed to the Associ-

of the Polish mission, that there is
little chance OF a cessation of the
Russo-Polish fighting until pre-
liminary peace terms are agreed
upon. The favorable military sit
uation of the Poles at present and
the arrival of the Polish delegates,
coupled with the deliberations,
have created the impression that
the conference may be long drawn
ont. Until the Poles are able to
establish a line which can readily
be defended, it is considered prob
able that Poland will not agree to
a cessation of hostilities.
Today's conference was held be-

Paris, Sept. 10 (by the Associated
Press. The league of nations
through its intervaation in the AL
and Islands uestion between Swe-
den and Finland, has proved its
right to live as an effective means
of preventing future wars growing
out of international disputes,
Hjalmar Branting, prime minister
of Sweden, said today.
at will not use the word war,
but the situation between Sweden
and Finland was tense" Premier
Branting declared. "The council
of the league, through its cautious
but prompt action has dissipated
the feeling and Sweden believes the
council will settle the matter to
the satisfaction of both countries.
Sweden has complete confidence
In the league as means of pre-
venting future wars. All that the
league needs to make it a most eff
fective and certain instrument of
reducing future wars to the alb
solute minimum is the participa-
tion of the United States"
Premier Branting pointed out
that Sweden never would give up
the Aland Islands. Sweden has
suggested a plebiscite, ne premier
said, but the council has not yet
decided what means it will employ
and three commissioners will make
an investigation.
M. Enckell, Finnish minister in
Paris, declared today that the
league of nations conclusions of
Saturday, when the council of the
league decided it had the right to
act as arbitrator between Sweden
and Finland and announced its in
tenton of appointing commission
of three to investigate the Aland
Islands question, were based on in
accurate premises.
M. Enckell also protests against
the conclusion drawn at the recent
conference of jurists.
Exception to the declarations of
Premier Branting that Sweden IS
determined never to relinquish its
sovereignty in the islands, was TAX
en- by M. Enckell.
A public meeting of the league
of nations council will be held to-
morrow to deliberate on the situa-
