P.nhh Comnnnv'R 5 and 10c Store. Either the attractive appearance of this store, or the many useful and beautiful articles, as well as the Christmas toys and candies so advantageously displayed in the windows, is drawing quite a crowd of enthusiastic Christmas buyers. In these windows you will see articles that are plainly what you would indeed term, "Ten cent bargains," such as beautiful pieces of glass-ware, china-ware, tin-ware, gTanite-ware, a full line 6f toilet articles, and all kinds of really beautiful jewelry and novelties/ They, especially call your attention to the line of china-ware which is to be put on as "special" for Saturday, the opening day. In this assortment you will find a number of large platters, pitchers, mixing bowls, and many other useful pieces. If you see all this from the windows, then what must you see from the inside? It was reported that several of the children were late for Sunday school Sunday morning. In explaining this it might be safely said that they had forgotten the flight of time in their ardent contemplation of "the many things they wisht they *>ad" in the windows of the ten cent store. Many of the bright girls of Abbeville and the adjoining country will be employed in this store. This store has one of the best locations to be had in Abbeville and is modern and up-to-date in every respeqt. The people of Abbeville will no longer have to go to Greenwood, or any of the larger towns, for their ten cent articles, but on the other hand this store will draw trade from other sections. Everybody knows the advantage of having a store of this kind in a town, and Abbeville is to be congratulated oh hei good luck in securing one of this up-to-date line of stores. On Friday afternoon, December 15th, this store will be open for inspection, at which time no goods will be sold. Mr. Robert E. Henry, the able manager, invites you to come and "see for yourself." Saturday morning, December 16th, will be the opening day. Nothing over ten cents. v J 1 " No ActionLikely Until Information onSfnldngof Arabic it Fortion assembled here, and believ&IJ^ f^Mj! present s clear-cut violation of German .pledges in nip sinking of the British steame* _ rina, with the loss of six American, ' . lives, has been forfpjjM 1*+ $epJ> t^euDmiasion to tne German iorIt was announced at the depart* ment today that the eyidenpe had been sent as a matter of pojirtesy, to /gaggS allow the^toperia^^vernnwi^^ fieiala indicate aUo that any^nove by this government might im delayed -J?9 nn til .complete information concern*? me/fa *Ttm. && > _?r* :,'i the evidence, while carrying a cargo : ^ lOO mileg from shore in ,*higfe tea, WitE no provision for the safety of thpse rin bpard.
