The ceremonials are such as are calculated to bring home the historical event which the feast commemorates, namely the new-born freedom vouchsafed to Israel after the long period of oppression endured under Egyptian tyranny. The eating; of unleavened bread is enjoined a number of times in the Biblical regulations :ouching the observance or the. Passover. I5u leavened -bread is characterized as the "bread of affiietimi;*' and Is also referred to .in the Bfble as th? bread which.was unleavenefl bemuaf pf the enforced hasty departure from Egypt. In Rost-Btbiical times tfce earn er '. desire to Keep the injunction? mrst scrupulous led the teachers oi Israel to enact laws, such a? the u?c of special dishes that had been guarded from contact with leaven and reserved only for the Passover reason A charming and effective feature in the celebration of the feast is the special Seder service around the festive family board on the first evening of the feast, to which the Or'I?odox add a second evening. At this family service a special ritim] known ?s the "Haggadah" is read Tli^ ritual contains the story o! the redemption from servitude, cer knin reflections inCT>ired by the memories of old and certain psalms. This is followed^by the festal meal, after which grace is recited. The servicn ?oncludes with the reading of add?ional p^ahns. the recitation of prayers and the singing of time-honored :ymns. To this home service stranger ind homeless are cordially invited. 3n the table in front of him who ^resides over the meal are placed ob_ lecis reminiscent or me ancient sn>ce and servitude, such as bitter herbs reminder of the bitter lot of those who toiled in Egypt: a roast bom jailing to mind the ancient paschal amb; a roast e^g. memorial of the :ree will offering that was bro'ight in addition to the paschal lamb; r>arsley and the bowl of salt water, ymbolizing the hyssop and its use la lie fiivt Passover observed in Egypf ?rd a confection of nuts and anploo represent the clay which Israel worked into bricks. The Passover falling at the beguiling of spring, had originally a pastoral and agriculMiral character srhich in time was overshadowed by he historical event associated lai'ir vith the feast. Freedom and its objuration is the keynote of the celebraion. The Reform synagogues hold special services only on the first and seventh days, while the Orthodox observe also the second day and an adlitional eighth day.

In 1918 the au- 1 !.tomObiIe license fees to April 1st amounted to $195,512*10 The col , lections in 1919. w^re approximately ' $45,G90 in excess of those in 1918 up / to the same date. ! Newberry county will receive ; 205.4^) as its share of the automobile/ license fees. Advocates of good roads are strongly of the opinion that . every county in the State should devote the whole of its receipts from automobile license fees _ to making Ip^rrmrenf road improvements or on road maintenance this year, as provided hy law. J Section 11 of the Act approved February 20, 1918, creating the State ! Highway Commission and imposing a 'license la ? p rt'ir v provides that the money from the license taxe shall be used by the countie3 "only for the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges." From reports received last year, it appears that some of the counties turned the money from automobile license fees, j into the general county fund and did not use it as required by law. t i Colored Knights of Pythias. | Grand Chancellor, Julius A. Brown 'of Charleston. S. C-. head of the negro I ? pvthian society of .South Carolina. ; paid, an official visit to the Pythian lodges in the city and county April 3rd, 1919.

I The features of the meeting at Miller Chapel where the lecture was given by the Grand Chancellor, were the stirring introductory address by 1 t> T t Thnman master of cere monies and the most excellent lecI ture of the honored guest, Sir Julius A. Brown. Sir E. F. Floyd, grand deputy of this district was roundly applauded i when the grand chancellor -stated | that he was the most hustling depkt?_^jh the State, having organized four lodges since the last grand lodge meeting in Florence. The grand chancellor returned to Charleston on Friday, imbued with the hospitality of Newberry. A. J. Martin. . ' More than 1,000 bales of cotton were destroyed by fire in Darlington on Tuesday.
