Epworth League Sociable.
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. ' a
Clarendon Sunday School Convention. I.
The Clarendon county Snday School a
Convention will be held at Manning on a
Fenruaryv 26th and 27th in the Metho- a
dist church. The indications are that i
this will be one of the best Sunday .e
School meetings ever held in the coun- d
t. n
One of the principal speakers for the a:
meeting will be Mr. R. D). Webb, Gen si
eral Secretary of the South Carolina

bama has enrolled more teacher train- si
ing students than any other State in fc
the Union, in proportion to white pop- at
ulation. Mrs. Moore is a specialist in c
Sunday School methods, and is an at- u
tractive, inspirational speaker. g
Miss Emma Lou Schirwer of Char
leston, who has made xuite a success
in that cit as a eacher of the begin- ~
neOs. has censented to~ be present on
Sunday and that afternoon wili speak

her of others will rake part on the pro
gram. The officers of the ecunty ttaso- e
caion feel that they are fortunate inc

ORIENTAL. LACQUER.
Japan Got the Art From China, Then
.Surpassed Her Tutor.
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

Diversification or Crop Rotation.
We hear a great deal now-a-da
bout crop rotation, according to th
ylopedia of American Agricuiture
"a recurring succession of plane
overing a regular period of years an
saintained on alternations fields o
be farm." Crop rotation can best b
xplained by giving a good rotatio
:r this section of the country. 15
ear cotton followed by bur clover a
bruzzia rye; 2nd year corn with co,
eas or velvet beans which should b
ut up with cutter-a-way harrow an
arned in the fall; 3rd year small grai
)llowed by cow peas the next Spring
lut what vines you need for hay put
oses, and what you do not need tur
nder to add the much needed humu
the soil. The end of the 3rd year c
efore you plant cotton again. is a ver
ood time to do ,our deep fall plowint
'low deep in the fall, and sow either
at clover or rye on the land to act a
our plant food preserver which i
e'ry necessary. 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
