CITIZENS COMB tO TIIKIH AID I < t . ? ' - / ? Beuufort Men Do lh< I "? uHual Towards ChH?tea?e??H Beaufort, Dec. 18. ? A spirit of com munity cooperation whs shown hero today when a group of Beaufort. busi ness' men offered Ijl a*>uilu* the lia bilities of tht fi*m of N. Chii^nscn & Sons, owned and operated by Niels Christen-scn and K. H. Christejr?a?.ft? recently adjudicated an involuntary bankrupt. The offer comprising ap proximately $J>o,(H)0 in cash and se . unties will be transmitted t ? roditot > "f the firm. The offer, coming as a surprise, was made this morning, W. I). Con nor of Brunson, referee in bankruptcy, holding a creditors' hearing here in the case. It was made by a group of fitiiens headed by Major Edwin Deuby, former Secretary of the Navy; James R. Bellamy, former state repre sentative and an extensive truck grower; II. II. Lake, real estate deal er, and practically every mercantile film in the city was represented on the committee. The men Stated that certain citl-l zens of Beaufort had held a some what impromptu meeting and had de rided to make the creditors of N. Christensen & Sons a 100 per cent offer, 10 per cent in cash immediately, the remaining amounts to be liqui dated at six months' periods in 20 per cent payments secured by notes. The attorneys of the creditors unan imously agreed to recommend an ac reptance of the offer to their clients. Before the hearing was concluded this evening a motion was adopted to the affect that N- Christensen & Sons be allowed to resume their business un der the supervision of the trustee, J. A. Mace, of Hampton.^--^ The proposal of the 'committee of Beaufort business men will be sub mitted in written form as is requirad by law in the next few days, and it will be either accepted or rejected by the creditors at a subsequent meet ing.

Christensen, shortly after the Con federate war, making it one of the oldest firms on the South Cnrolina roast, stated that the bankruptcy was forced1 evidently through a misappre hension, and that the firm's assets exceeded its liabilities several hun dred times. Members of the citizens committee stated that the firm has enjoyed unexcelled credit and any re verse suffered was due to several poor crop years except during the past season.
