A most delightful social and literary entertainment was held by the Epworth League at the Methodist Parsonage on i last Friday night, February 18th t About thirty persons were present and p everydody seemed to have a good time e generally. Mr. Ellerbe, the President I of the League. made a short address of r welcome in which be endeavore I to 1 make everybody feel at home. ii A unique feature of the program was c the Musical Wedding. The young men c were placed in the hallway while the a young ladies appeared behind a screen. o The young men selected their part- p ners by guessing the shadow upon the n screen. When selections had been b made, all returned to the parlor where b the contest began. Eighteen questions ti were:asked.coosisting of "What was f< the gils name?" "What was the boys s name?" "Where were they boun?', fi &c. As each question was asked, Mr. Lawrence Bradham played on the pi- v ano the first chord of the song that an- t swered the question and the test was e in guessing the song. It. was a most n interesting affair and some of the s' young people showed great famiiiarity a with musical compositions. It was o amusing to hear the answers of some t others. P Perhaps the most entertaining part f; of the program was the delightful mus o ic rendered on the Violin by Miss 1 Gladys Turner. of Sumter, accompanied d on the Piano by Miss Irma Smith. also a of Sumter. Miss Turner is getting t class in Violin instruction in Manning Quite a number have alrealy joined i the class. S Light refreshments were served to a all present after which games, consist- s ing of "Ring On A String, "Going to Jerusalem," &c., were played, all seem o ing to enter with great zest into this e part of the entertainment. il The Epworth Leagrue has,. arranged a to hold a Social A nd Literary Meeting v once a month and the Cowmmitte in s charge will see to it the occasions will d be live and entertaining.

Lacquer has furnished a most varied material for one of the earliest Indus trial arts of China, and, though there are no authentic records of Its origin nor of the steps of Its early develop ment, the process is already called sa. ancient one in a .wbrk published in 1387, in the first year af the Ming pe riod, which proves that the art was known in as remote an epoch as the Sung dynasty. The enlinaing~ years of its development were rached in the reign of the Emperor Chien Lung (1736 95), who greatly encouraged its manu facture and had idrge- quantities of lacquered objects made with which to furnish and decorate his palace. After his death the art seems to have de dined in merit, and since that time lit tie or nothing of any high artistic value in Chinese lacquer has been accom plished. The Japanese first learned the proc ess from China, but have since brought It to a point of perfection which' sur passes the finest productions of the Cinese. In Japan. however, lacquer is applied solely to objects of compara tively small size, while in the Chinese empire It served to decorate screens and panels of tremendous dimensions. Lacquer is divided into two classes painted and carved lacquer. Both kinds are sometimes inlaid with mother-of pearl. Ivory, jade and various semi precious stones. It was in thie early seventeenth cen ury, when Holland and Portugal be gan their trade with the remote east, and particularly with China, that mar velous empire teeming with so many extraordinary artistic manifestations, that Europe first began to reni!lze the ew an vas field of decorative ele :nents wichii were con-:iniied in nind re rnled to her't artsts byv o'rka~tai airt.

In the spring you ma ut up the clover or rye with disc an low under as a green manuring crol 'his will aid you greatly in makin our cotton the following summer. As a word of explanation I will met ion in passing the origin of Crop R< ation The system of farming whic ras originally followed was to grow rop on a piece of land continously u it the yields decreased below the poit rhere production was profitable. The he land was allowed to rest or to h pack to a state of nature, growing u o weeds, bushes etc., while a ne piece was cleared and worked tb ame way. If the old field was clears fter a few years, its original fertilil ras restored for reasons which we a now. Then came the period of the restin be land for a single season which .eed not discuss at this time. But lac now too valuable, we cannot affot a practice either one of these met] ds, but the only solution to the prol ein is to practice diversification, t rop rotation, a hich will beyond ingle doubt, will keep our lands up t high state of cultivation if proper] anaged. Sad to say that most of tb ends in this county are very deficie a humus, due largely to the fact the he farmers have not practiced th roper crop rotation, which they soon r or later will have to come too. An know of no better time to start tha ight now. You cannot start too earl. Vithin the next few years we are g< g to have to depend on some othe rop other than cotton for our move rop, and unless we have our lands i better state of cultivation than mos f them are, we are going to have retty hard row to hoe. Now yo light as well begin to prepare for th oil weevil, which I will discuss late ecause it is now only a question t me with him, and the only salvatio )r the farmer, and the merchant e 'ell, is start now to incourage diversi cation. I will now mention a few of the ad antages of a crop rotation. A rots ion of crops improves the physics ondition of the soil, helps to conserv oisture and vegetable matter in tb ail, lessens the damage from insect nd plant diseases, aids in the cootr< f weeds, increases crop yields, di; ributes the necessanv labor of cro roduction, and helps to systemati2 arm operations. I would discuss eac ne of these nine advantages seperati r, but it would require too lengthly iscussion, but will be glad to answe ny questions concerning the m, here be any. Rotations do not conserve fertilit: lany people hold that rotations co: erve soil fertility. While crop yie'd rill decrease much more slowly wher everal crops are grown in a rotatto bn where any one is grown contil usly, crop rotation is just as sure 1 xhaust the supply of available ferti I~y eventual-ly, if no fertilizers are use s the, single cropping system. Tb arious crop plants all require th ame elements of plant food, tho' som raw more heavily on one and some o nother. The three which are mo: rgely used and which are most like y to become depleted are nitroger hosphorous, and potassium. The lel mes take the nitrogen from the ai nd store it in the soil in a form avai ble for other plants, so if the legutt sous crop is grown as often as sa ven once in three years there is litti anger of the exhaustion of this ehi ent, but nature's supply of potasisiuti ad phosphorus must eventually b .ipplemented. Live stock farming aids in conser1 ig these elements, for live stock pr< ucts remove much less of them tha rains. hay, cotton, and tobacco ] e manure is properly handled and rt rned to the land, the exhaustion o e land will be very slow indeed, bm ,will be constantly taking place. Th roducts which are sold will remnov me of the potassium and phosphoru: 'hile there will be considerable los ue to leaching of the manure. Som otassium and phosphorus should o< aiooally be added from outsid >urces in order to maintain or ir rease the soil fertility. In conclusion I will mention the es tials of a good rotation: An intet led crop, a crop for cash returns, :op for feeding to live stock. and -op to increase the supply of yegetJ le matter in the soil and also to ad it rogen to the soil. Two or morec ese essentials may be embraced in ngle crop. Thus clover may be use ir live stock or it may be used fc 3ding humus and nitrogen to the soi: orn is cultivated crop, and may b sed either as a cash crop or one fe ed ing to live stock JT. R.
