I And Now He Expects Peace and i Plenty and Prosperitj' All the Year of 1S21. I Bennettsville Advocate. Unconsciously the editor of The Advocate lias laid the foundation for prosperity this year, if the belief of some people in Union county. N. (/., is correct. We found a dish of peas on our dinner table on January 1st. which happened to be the editor's fiftipth hirt.hdav. As this was a fav orite dish, we neglected most of the chicken and other ?ood things, which an editor may b< pardoned for having every .fiftieth birthday, and ate heartily of the peas. We were informed that the peas would not have appeared on the 0 table had not the cook, without r authority, prepared them because C she said it was a custom where i she came from to always have . peas 011 the first day of January ^ to give good luck and prosperity ' during the vear. This added to * , ] the enjovmenut of the peas, and j npw we are further reassured by -*-1? A/^ifAv'ol -Pfrim lilt?

It declares that /'there were few tables minus a dish of peas" that day; and the' explanation seems to be located in a superstition that has obtained in the county for t: many years. To have pers for dinner, according to local belief. r is guarantee of all kjnds of good 11 fortune to the family during the a year. Some of the Union county folk believe that for every peajr eaten a dollar will be saved before the next New Year, and this u probably accounts, for the second + t ' I ! | .
