After two hours of pleasant conversation and sewing, fancy cakes and delicious ice' cream were served. On account of the inclemency of the weather there was a small attendance. The following braved the storm and came any way: Mesdames Hoyt Watson, W. Ellis Bethea, Misses Annie Covington, Gertrude Manning, Teressa Dew, May Belle Parham, Jewel Bethea, Messrs. C. J. Zeigler, R. T. Fairey and WEllis Bethea. Dr. John G. Clinkscales of the Wofford Acuity, and a layman, occupied Dr. Kirklands' pulpit on Sun-1 day morning with a full house. He also conducted the Men's Bible Class at the Sunday school hour. Dr. { Clinkscales in his speech at the banquet on Saturday night at th.e hotel, stated that he had lost his teeth and his hair, but we are glad to note that he has not lost his magnificent voice, nor his fertile brain, which works as easily as a freshly oiled machine. His sermon delivered in the Methodis* Church rin - .u uu.iuuaj> morning was a good one, and calculated to do much good. I The Bridge Club was entertained on Thursday afternoon by Mrs. L. L. Watson- The living room and parlors were thrown ensuite and most artist ically decorated. Lady Banshia and yellow jasamine were bountifully used. Theae combined with ferns and softly shaded lights of cream with numbers of golden colored candles made it an attractive settihg for the lovely affair. Four card tables containing dainty covers matching draperies and carrying out the color motif, were arranged for the players. Several spirited games were enjoyed. (.Mrs. Deans Crumpler holding highest score was presented with a beautiful basket of Lady Banshia roses tied with an airy bow of creamy tulle. Second highest was held by Mrs. D. Pfiel P4?-J . riunuruii. U'ea napkins were passed and the hostess assisted by Mrs. W. D. Bethea served chicken salad on a mound of lettuce, tomato aspic, olives, sandwiches and hot rolls with iced tea- Oraceful yellow baskets filled with yellow and white mints were th^ favors for the afternoon. Those present of the club were Mesdames W. D. Bethea, E. R. Ellerbe, D. C. Edwards, F. L. Carpenter, D. B. Shine, E. J. Brown, T. C. McOee and Miss Ormie Bethea. Invited guests were Meedames J. C.

The clerk of the Latta Town Council makes the following announcement: That Street Tax, Dog and Sanitary Taxes will be due and payable at hig office April 1st. All parties liable to these various taxes should take advantage of this notice, and evade the 10 per cent penalty which will be enfO'-ced on those failing to pay on time. He has usually been giving a few days of grace. Some days ago the policeman arrested a colored man named Henry Thomas, for riding on the side walk on a bicycle, that being against one of the towns ordinances, and Thomas was promptly fined by the court $5. He ponded the wheel to a citizen here fo r the amount of the fine, and it has later been found out that the wheel was stolen from a Dillon citizen by the name of Mr. Stephens. The same Henry Thonias came in ? -4 - i a t wVT ? uciui e uu.v uu uiM ia si rTioay morning with a fin*, horse and road cart, which Thomas says he bought from a man in Hamlet, N. C. for the sum of $75.00. It is believed that Thomas obtained the horse and road cart in the same way thai he did the wheel, and this belief is strong enough to the sheriff's mind to lock Henry Thomas up in the jail and wait for tlie owner of the horse to show up. The chief of police here at Latta received a communication today from a Mr. Williamson in Richland County, N. C. stating that the horse held here, that was brought here by Henry Thomas last week, answers perfectly, the description of his horse stolen last week. Henry Thomas, being in the Dillon county jail, charged with stealing Mr. Stephens' wheel, it looks now like he will also have to give an account as to how he came in possession of such a nice horse and road cart so quickly. o Marion Methodists Entertain. The Methodists of the Marion District had a "Set-Up" meeting in Marion today in the interest of the big educational drive which they will put 011 a little later. The morning services were held in the Methodist church. and th^ afternoon session was held in the dining hall of the Masonic Temple at that place. There were about seventy-five ministers and lay members present, and the meeting was very enthusiastic, as well as instructive, and was qualified to equip those who expect to assist in this drive. And last, but not least, to a hungry man, Marion can always be counted on for her hospitality, and today was no exception, and at about 1 o'clock we were invited into the large Masonic dining room to a magnificent dinner, prepared by the good women of that place. o Kpwortli League Meets.

It seems to have taken on a new lease of life and is receiving much favorable cornmen!. 1 The League took over the evening hour Sunday and rendered a very imptesstve and appropriate Easter program. before about two hundred people. The programme was as follows: Hymn 171. Lords Prayer. Scripture Lesson Col. 3: 1-17. Piater, lead by Dr. Kirkland. Anthem?Choir. Introductory Address?The Significance of Easter by the leader, Prof, R. T. Fairey. Talks?"A Living Issue," Miss Annie Covington. Hymn 256.

The slogan "Wear Cotton." hai reached I>atta. Most of our collegi girls while at home for the Eastei holidays, were wearing homespur dresses, and we are glad to note thai our teachers are following suit Now as all beginnings are, this is a smal thing within itself, but a fine spirii indeed is shown by those who ar< creating a demand for cotton, just a i this parttcuar time. We do not kno* | when or wher? the idea started, bu | uu Miuw mat 11 is a sensime one and if this same spirit is manifesto* throughout our southland, the prici of cotton will go up in spite of Wal Street. Some of these dresses ari made up real fancy, and are prettie: than anything seen by this writer a the price. After using sufficient trim ming8 to make it beautiful, it nee< not cost more than one dollar, au< to think that the farmer is now sell ing enough of his cotton to mak one of these beautiful dresses for tei cents, as I doubt there being mor than one pound of white of cotton t each dress.

B o ORIGIN OF EASTER. It was on this wise that Easter happened. Just before the crucifixion the Jews celebrated the passover. After awhile, it took on a christian meaning. This passover took place on the anniversary of the resurrection, but this feast had nothing to do with ! the resHijrr?winn k..* ? uui i aiucr me crucifixion; but it was merged into 1 that idea. The first christians observed a feast at that time known as Easter, but the real meaning of the word has no reference to the resurrection; for the word translated, cnly once, in scripture is not the Greek word for Easter, but is "Pascha" which has the significence of "death" and not resurrection. For nearly two hundred years the word "Easter" was unknown to the church. About this time notices were given for the observance of the resurrection by the Catholics, who were Just beginning their church career. And | as the church of Rome grew, I :&c also the idea of Easter grew i grew, so also the idea of Easter grew 1 J with-it; but it was not even then i I among the Protestants as a practice. ' jThe heathen religionist, it so happen- j jed, and Romanist held their feasts , about April. The heathen held in it | | honor of the Teutonic goddess?"Ositera" for they were Star Worshippers j ' and Easter means "Star" worship5 per. In a word the Romish church .combined this heathen worship of 'star8 and the Jewish passover; and | the illegitimate child of these two parents?Heathenism and Romanism ? was called "Easter"'. Rome made this compromise with the heathen to win them~ over to Romanism. That is tne reason wny to day some people attend this service in the churches of Rome because there it is at its best. It comes to pass that gradually this custom has been grafted on to prostestants, who if they knew its hisi tory would eliminate it from their j worship as a remnant of heathenism. They forget that every Sunday is Easter according to the Bible, because Jesu8 rose from the dead on our Sabbath day. To any thinking person oiXe might suspect that some] thing is radically wrong when they see painted eggs, birds' nests and white rabbits associated with the world's greatest event?the resurrection of Jesus. But no people love to bo duped and deceived. The whole matter is boiled down | to this: Because there is sentiment and flowers and new hats and dresses and formalism associated with the so- < called "Easter" the prostestant \ church has proven itself to be a gang of "Apists" though not i intentionally "PapiBts." It is not the I resurrection of Christ that concerns I many of us; but religious supersti| tion, heathen ritualistic religiosity 'which appeals to the esthetic nature ! rather than a sublime faith in the I facts of the resurrection. There pos1 itively not single scarp of the Bible for it; but the poor to whom the gospel is to be preached, are literally denied the privilege of worship on that day when dresses and bon) nets and chicken eggs and rabbits have th^ day- The negroes go wild over it and even, as do some whites, have an easter dance. We know of some women that never darken a church except on-.that day of dresB , parade which is a memorial day to the sacrifice or dishonesty of some poor hardwarked man. It is high time for the thinking people of the church to stop some of our foolishness, cut out superstition in religion and live every day a resurrected life. Christ said, "I am the resurrection and the life." He is not responsible for all this socalled religious stuff about us- His religion is not a mere form nor festival nor rabbit-foot-fun; but a life raised above the worship ' of stars and flowers and clothes. The resurrection is grand and sublime and real; but this thing is idolatry. E. C. Bailey. Professional Cards. Surveying Drafting and Blue Printing W. M. ALLEN Dillon, S. C. Phone N?. 112 L. B.
