The Heidelburg Gardens, as the estate has been known for a century, was de veloped originally by a wealthy Ger man in more recent years it has been utilized for private school purposes, only having been put on the market during the past Summer. It was bought for approximately $40,000 and it is the plan of the corporation procuring title to it to spend several thousands of dollars more in its beautification and development. Some improvement will be made on the palatial buildings which are of stucco structure and which, by reason of neglect, are said to be in need of renovation, but no new buildings in free of such disturbances except dur ing the last two or three years ajid such troubles as have occurred during this time have been the result of shrewd efforts upon the part of pro fessional agitators from the outside, who, in some instances, have been able to disrupt the cordial relations existing between mill executives, and opera tives and bring about strikers. These strikes have, almost without exception, resulted in disaster for the workers and there has been a decided reaction among mill workers against the activi ties of labor agitators from other sec tions who are not acquainted with Southern workers and Southern work ing conditions. So, in spite of labor troubles in some places mill owners are inclined to believe that the indus try in the South will continue to be marked by a feeling of sympathy and interest between owners and workers and by an absence of labor troubles. All indications point to an imme diate resumption in cotton mill con struction and in the development of the industry generally.

Andrews' Astonishingly Liberal Of fers Enable Everyone To Have Music In The Home At Christmas f "2 CHRISTMAS TIME is the joyous season of the year when humanity can best give expression to its wealth of sentiment in the measured beats of music, the one universal language. GONE IS THE-DAY when only those plentifully possessing the world's material riches can know the surpassing pleasures of music, as represented in the beautiful works of themaster composers or the renditions of the world's greatest artists. Those who have the ad vantages of an education in music and those whom fortune has fa vored less may in this day of magnificent scientific achievement share equally in the blessing of music in the home. FOR THOSE WHO PREFER to play, the modern piano, an in strument of unfailing companionship, beautiful in its purity of tone and elegance of finish, occupies a position of supreme importance. . The highly developed Player-Piano and the unending variety of music rolls brings to those who know not how to play every one of the pleasures of music the musically educated may experience. Then, in an unique placs in this world of music stands the Victrolay which, with the Victrola records, unfolds opportunity without stint or limit for the enjoyment of the art of the famous men and women whose singing or playing has thrilled audiences throughout the world. THUS, THE SIGNIFICANCE of the Andrews' Thrift Club Offer and the Andrews' Christmas Club Offer is presented in "a feeble way in the foregoing. These two notable offers mean truly that those who so desire may revel in the enjoyment of music at Christmas Time with only passing thought to the financial considerations. That is true because this establishment, by its policy represented in these two selling plans, presents to the wealthy and the poor alike an equality of opportunity probably without precedent. But this opportu nity, like the others worth while, will pass with the approaching holi days and only those who hesitate too long will continue to long for those joys in life which music alone can give.

The high cost of the American dollar, together with the low cost of the mark, makes it difficult for Germany to dress her dip lomats in the height of fashion.
