Two Interesting Old Papers. Several days ago Mr. Abner Broad water showed The Advertiser's repre sentative two very interesting old pa pars, which reelected financial condi tions immediately after the Civil War. One was a receipt to Mr. Broad water's grandmother, Mrs. Guy Broadwater, for one year's subscrip tion to The Edgefieled Advertiser in March, 1866. What do you suppose the subscription price was at that time? Twenty dollars per annum, which is just ten times what the pres ent subscription price of The Adver tiser is at this time, although we are in the wake of the World War. The other interesting paper was a duplicate of Mr. Broadwater's fath er's tax return just as he was leaving home to enter the Confederate army. His horse, which is described as be ing eight years old and 16 hamds high, .was valued at S2.000. ' It is to our interest to look after your interest, Ford owners, then why not come to see us?

The Jews in the United States have commenced a nationwide campaign for the relie? of the Jewish orphans, and others as well, in the war-strick en countries of Europe.: While the work is being done by the people of the Jewish race, the help given is to be distributed in the countries where the Jews predominate and no dis crimination is to be made as between races in the distribution of the funds. Because all people of whatever race are to be helped, and principal 'ly because the Jews in the United States in all the great calls during the war made patriotic responses, the people generally are asked to contrib ute to the fund being raised. Mrs. Rubenstein and Mrs. Mukashy are making a canvas here in Edge field for funds for this very worthy cause and we trust' that our people will respond as generously as they can afford. None of us have much ready cash but we should be willing j to share what we have with those who are less fortunate.

The music for thu afternoon was a violin duett from Gounod by Mrs. Walter Contelou and Miss Lois Mims with accompaniment by Miss Gene vieve Norris. This was so charming that the historian, Mrs .Tillman, in charge of the program said she wish ed she might hear it three times each week. Mrs. Susan B. Hill who had been appointed by the chapter to make some historical research, made a very interesting report of some recent findings. Mrs. Hill has decided talent and aptitude and accuracy for ge nealogical work and is performing a-great service in this direction. Mrs. Hill and Mrs. J. M. Lawton were appointed as alternates to the coming Continental Congress in April. Mrs. J. L. Mims read some new his tory about George Washington and the history of the Mount Vernon as sociation which was originated by Ann Pamela, Cunningham, a South Carolina woman.
