CHINESE COME TO CHICAGO FOR BREWERY PLANS. Chicago- With*Teutonic brew im possible to get, Nipponese beers boy cotted, and Yankee breweries busy with soft drinks, several thirsty but wealthy Chinese have organized the Wuish Brewing Company and com missioned Richard Griesser, architect and engineer of Chicago, to draw plans for a $200,000 brewery. They already have purchased all the brew ing machinery and equipment of the Gebhardt brewery at Morris, Illinois, and are having it shipped to the Ori ent. The steel and cork insulation for the three story fireproof plant also have been ordered in this country, but all the rest of the building materials are being purchased in China and Chinese labor will put up the build ings. It-will, have annual rapacity to start with of 1,200,000 bottles. "Most of the trade will be with the better cfass of Chinese", Said Mr. Gre esser, "for the coolies don't know much about foreiign beers. Two young chinamen, educated in this country, will have charge of the con struction of the plant. It will be fin ished next spring." . And yet the Christian people of America, who contribute millions annually for foreign missionary en terprises sit idly by and allow this sort of thing to transpire! Are they asking the same question that Cain did of old? If so, shame! and thrice shame ! Ammonia From the Air. A syndicate has been formed to es tablish a nitrogen factory f?r the man ufactur? of ammonia synthetically from the nitrogen of the air. says the American Chamber of Commerce in London.'."'- , . te ?as purchased the ex .wty?fc, rent-acquired more vo years ago for the-purpose of building a factory. The capital re quired will be $32:>,000,000. The process to be adopted, says the American chamber, will be on the prin ciple of the German chemist, Haber. Nitrogen and hydrogen will be com bined ^nto ammonia under pressure at a high temperature, the ammonia then being converted into nitric acid or other nitrates as may be required either for the manufacture of explo sives or for use as fertilizers. Must Not Disturb Swans. Even the highest in the French Re public must bow before the edicts of the French protocol, as Mme. Des chanel, wife of the president, learned when she objected to the presence of five white swans in the Elysee palace ponds. The swans, Mme. Deschanel admitted, were very beautiful, but nearly every morning early they dis turbed the rest of the president's household, and therefore she Inquired whether they could not be removed. The chief of the protocol 'found that sixty 3'ears ago a clause was written In the protocol which provided that not less than five swans must be kept in the Elysee palace grounds, for the feeding of which the keeper of the presidential gardens was responsible. Hid Identity Many Months. Miss Gwendoline Farrar, who In herited a fortune of several million dollars from her father. Sir George Farrar, the Rand millionaire, who was one of those sentenced to death by Boers for taking part in the Jameson raid, is one young woman who can keep a secret For more than a year Miss Farrar has been appearing on the London stage, and only recently was her identity discovered by accident Canada's Soldier Police. The Canadian Northwest mounted police ls one of the most noted organ izations of the character in the world because of the efficiency of its serv ice, which was established nearly 50 years ago. Recently the headquarters of the organization have been changed to Ottawa and the size of the organ ization ecdarged anjj the territory coy. ered by the scarlet-coated officials has been greatly Increased. Chronic Catarrh. Our manner of living makes us very susceptible to colds and a suc cession of colds causes chronic ca tarrh a loathsome disease which it is estimated that ninety-five per cent of our adult population are afflicted. If you would avoid chronic catarrh you must avoid colds or having con tracted a cold getrid of it as quickly as possible. "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is highly recommended as a cure for colds and can be depended upon._. j (?, 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) The mother of Morton Dale entered his office, peered into his private room, found it vacant and turned her gaze upon^iis st?nographe^ Irene Blandon, with" some^wonderment. The latte?; ? handkerchief to her eyes and sobbing low, had not noticed ber appearance. The sheet of paper on her typewriter bore evidence of tears. "Why, Miss Blandon !" spoke .the vis itor gently, "whatever is the trouble? You are crying." Irene lifted a woeful face to the lady. "I couldn't help it," she spoke. "You must know how things are here and I am so sorry for Mr. Dale." "Perhaps I" do not entirely know J. how things are here, dear," said Mrs." Dale. "Of course Morton has told me of his misfortune in trusting a client with half his capital and the man in vesting it unfortunately and no chance, of recovering it. But Morton is young, bright, and honorable, the world is all, before him and it has greatly distress-??? ; ed me to see how hard he has taken IL" "Mr. Dale was under a severe strain* before that came," announced Irene. "He put through a very creditable deal and counted on expanding his busi ness when this loss came along. Oh, Mrs. Dale! can you not induce him tb seek and find what alone can save him-an entire abandonment of busi ness cares for a spell? He is not ill, but mentally depressed. He has lost his nerve, as the men on 'change say, and he gets gloomier and more dis couraged every day. Perhaps you won der at my feeling over him, but I came to the city knowing nobody and if I were his own sister he could not have . been more kind and helpful to me. Every time I write to the family at home, I am sure they bless him for the interest he has taken in me and the good position he has given me." "You are a sweeL dear girl," said Mrs. Dale, her own eyes dimming. "Tell me what you think we had ought to do to win him from his apathy and gloom." "He must give up business for a time, that is sure," answered sensible, practical Irene. He has a fine, sensi tive nature and he is getting thin and tired all of the time. He needs build ing up, and oh! if he would only con sent to do down to Waltham, where I came from, and let mother and the folks look after him and think of noth ing but rest and recreation, he would surely come back with renewed health and courage." The sincerity and earnestness of the young -girlj^rmed^e^?dKious moth ..er. ./Wol?i!^^^ j ' agreed to .them, I though'-^ith little ih .terest in' them, it seemed, and one day left for a month's vacation at Holly wood farm. It was not Until he got away from the turmoil and grime bf the city and the train glided along past fresh vernal scenes and the flow er perfumed air came in revivingly at the open car window, that his perturb ed mind began to calm down. In a gentle, politic way those two loving plotters had spent a week in winning him to their suggestion. Now, feeling how reliably Irene would attend to his Interests and recalling that she was sacrificing her own vacation visit to the folks nt home for his sake, a ten der gratitude expanded his soul, tem porarily clouded by his own selfish and exaggerated worries. "She is like my mother-all gold!" Morton told himself, and when he ar rived at Waltham he soon decided that there were others, too, of the home spun, but heartsome Blandon family who were eligibles to be quoted in the same precious metal category. Irene's two sisters were in evidence occupying a seat in the.' roomy old sitting room, pictures of health and jolliness. The brother, a big-hearted fellow, always Joking and laughing, hailed Morton as a bosom friend. When they reached the pleasnnt old fashioned farmhouse Mrs. Blandon welcomed their guest as an own son. The guest partook of the most enjoy able meal of weeks and slept with a smile on his lips, as through his dreaming fancies ran shadowy echoes of some Joke Wilfred Blandon nar rated, or a fugitive thought of the brave little helper he had left in charge of his business craft came to bis mind. Bluff, hearty Wilfred put himself, out to bring a more cheerful state of feeling to the invalid, and was abet ted by trusty accomplices. He even had the scale at the general store man ipulated, so that whenever Morton came in to get weighed he was found to be gaining nearly a pound daily! , j One day some ruffians attacked a I farmer on his way home with consid- I erabie money. Morton dispersed them, in a way that won from the rescued\ victim admiring commendation for his spryness and strength. At the end ot Tluonth, completely renovated, Morton Dale came home, the picture of Jolly good health. He. listened with glowing eyes.as his moth- . er recited how Irene had not only cared for the old ^business, but had secured considerable new, and through her labors there was a hope of getting back some of the lost capital. "I can never repay all she has done for me," spoke Morton gratefully., "Why has she taken such an interest' in my affairs, mother?" "Why?" replied Min. Dale promptly. "Ask her, Morton, and she will blush, and blushes mean love, you know." "Then I shall try the experiment at race!'* cried Morton hopefully. NEW STORE New Goods I desire to inform my friends and the people generally ? that I have opened up a large stock of CLOTHING, SHOES, HATS, DRY GOODS, NOTIONS and LADIES' READY-T?-WEAR , in the store under the opera house next door to L. T. May's store. Everything is brand new in every department. I went to New York in August and selected my stock in per son, which enabled me to buy many lines at very close prices. Come in to see me at my new store. It is my pur pose to render the best service to my patrons that lean, giving the benefit of every money-saving price I can. Every department in my store is well supplied with newest fall styles. It will be a Measure to show you our pretty merchandise. I ti A. DAITCH Under the Opera House Because of the short crop and low prices we are getting for both seed and cotton I am going to gin at the same prices that prevailed last year. We all know that it costs more this year than it did last year to gin cotton. The item of coal alone is double what it was last season. I made an investment in a gin here when it was very necessary that;we have another gin. So help me with your patronage and you can rest assured that it will be ap preciated. Market price always paid for seed and prompt service always given. Bagging and ties same as last year-$1.50 per bale. J. G. ALFORD FAIR GROUNDS EDGEFIELD, S C. &<m&?s? sm sm sms-m sm .7
