Social Events in Latta.
Miss Mary Moore Stoneburner entertained
the Sewing Club on Tuesday
evening the 22nd. 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

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

filled with yellow and white mints
were th^ favors for the afternoon.

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.

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.

Higher Cotton.
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.

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.
