GOES TO ABBEVILLE
Mi;, and Mrs. G. C. Wallace left
jast week for Abbeville where they
will make their future home, Mr.
Wallace being connected with
Adair's Department Store as manager.
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace have a
wide circle of friends here who regret
in giving them up and whose
best wishes will follow them as they
> go elsewhere.?Clinton Chronicle.
IN NEW YORK TO BUY
GOODS FOR STORE HERE
The Clinton Chronicle carried the
announcement this week that E. J.
Adair had gone to New York and
other eastern markets for the purpose
of making purchases of fall and'
winter goods for his store in Clinton J
and the Adair Department ^tore in
this city. The store in Abbeville is1
i
one of the most popular and progres-j
sive mercantile establishments of j
this section and anything pertaining)
to if is of interest to its many friend3
and customers.
JUST A WORD ABOUT THE
MOVING PICTURE SHOWS I
The constant rains of the past'
week have not been to the advantage
of the moving picture shows in this
city. Manager Vershott however, has
met the conditions bravely and has
been giving the people some good
' I
shows, and it is to be hoped that iff
the rains continue that the people
themselves will show their appreciation
of his efforts by making an extra
effort to attend by striking out between
showers. He deserves to be
met at least half way in his endeavors
to always give trie movie
fans and others what they are looking
for and expect in the way of
good pictures.
FATHER GWYItH IN HOSPITAL
\
The following news item emanating
from Greenville will be of interest
to many in Abbeville, the
subject of the item having conducted
services in the Catholic church
herp nnnn numerous occasions.
The news item says:
The Rev. A. K. Gwynn, pastor of
St. Mary's Catholic church, operater
upon in Atlanta Monday afternoon,
was last night reported to be
resting fairly well, though he had
been very sick during the day yeserday.
The crucial stage is believed
to have been passed, however, and
it is thought that Father Gwynn will
in a few days begin improving.
WOMEN CAN NOW VOTE
Ratification of the suffrage
amendment by Tennessee now
<nakes Woman suffrage constitutional
and women throughout the United
States will now have the right to <
vote after a fight of years. Abbeville
women can now muster their
forces and get ready to march to
the polls in November and vote in
the general election. An agitation
* has been started in Columbia to secure
a change in the party rules
that would permit the women to
vote in the primary elections to be
hell on the 31st of the present
month, but as yet but little headway
has been made and it is quite improbable
that there will be in time
for them to exercise the right of
suffrage at that time.
IMMIGRANTS POURING

Washington, Aug. 19.?More than
5,000 immigrants are arriving daily
at Ellis Island, the. department of labor

Only the lack of transportation
facilities and the difficulties of im
migration from central Europe, offi- J
cials of the department of labor said,!
.has prevented the outstripping of'
all previous records during the past'
year. Despite these unxavoiaole con-j'
ditions, approximately 800,00U immi- 1
