rhe German Sabbath.

As everybody KNOWS, ouhoay ~ noe
Kept asa day Of rest on the continent OF
Europe in the same sense in which it is
kepti in England or America. That Is to-
say, even those continental Protestants
who think abstinence from toll, properly
go called, on the frat day of the week @
religious duty, differ greatly from English
and American Protestants as to the way
in which those who abstain from labor
should pass the day. The view of the
more rigid English and American Pro-.
testants is that not only are We bound
not to follow our ordinary pursuits on
Sunday, but We are bound not to amuse
ourselves, and to confne our reading To-
religious or devotional books or newspa.
pers. In all the continental countries,
along with readiness to be amused on
Sunday, comes also readiness to work.
It seems difficult, if not impossible, TO
enforce a rule which allows tie people,
to play lawn tents, or go to the theatsfI
Or sit in beer gardens, but forbids them
to work in factories or keep their shops
open. The experience of Germany
which has recently been collected, thonghI
in a somewhat imperfect way, By Prus-ll
sian government Investigation, seems tel
contain a great deal Of instruction on this|
point. From returns obtsined fionlj
thirty out Of thirty.6ys provinces or
departments, containing 500,l5G mants
featuring establishments and l,5S259t
workmen, it was found that 57.75 per-
cent. Of the factories kept at work on
Sunday. On the other hand, the larges
number Of the workmen, or 9l9,5G4 rest
on Sunday. AS regards trade and trans
portatiou, it was found that in 90 proFin]
ces (oat of s5) Of 1898 establishment
of one sort or another employing 245,06a
persons, a per cent. were open on Sun
day, and 81 per cent. Of the emploseefa
worked on tina! day. This state OF things
has led to demand in Prussia for leggiissiis.
ton absolutely prohibiting Sunday labor
With view 70 such legislation canvas
of the persons interested, both employen
and employed, has been made. They
were asked whether they were in favor o.
or opposed to total prohibition. It wsI
found that Of these consulted in thd
great factories or stores only 10 per cent
Of the employers and is per cert. of tho

Some Splendid Farming.

Lewis Ducket, Of No. Township, who
owns one ofthe largest and best planta'
tions in Newberry County, and who is a
number one farmer, has given The OJser.
ysr the results of some of his farming
operations lust year. He made good
crops all around but the following we're
special yields.
On Two acres he planted cotton seed
tina. he bought from Prof; Harris, Of
GreenpiIle, which the Professor called
"Duncan's Impro 3D." He broadcasted
the land with home made manure and
then put in 400 pounds--a00 to The acre
of acid. The cotton from Ibis patch
yielded 35I pounds Of lint form 100
pounds of seed cotton. From the two
acres he gathered $3.50 pounds. He had
the cotton picked by day labor at so
much per hundred. and weighed it care
fully himself as it was picked SO that
there can be no mistake about the yield.
Tie two acres made bales of sos pounds
each, exclusive Of he weight of bsggipg
aud ties-pr 3:ll3! pounds of lipt.
On % acre new ground, the third
year Of cultivation, with 200 pounds Of
ammoniated fertilizers per acre, he made
&c bales of cotton weighing 5577 pounds
each, and 233 pounds over.
On acre new ground, second year
of cultivation, he made, without fertiliz.
ing, 257 bushels Of corn, exclusive Of the
cotton and refused corn. This was not
an estimate Or guess work, but lie
| shucked and measured the corn.
Lewis says that he has little over
four acres Of ground that he thinks he
! can make 20 bales Of cotton on, and that
| he ia going to try it this year.
Some persons who d. not know Lewis
| Duckett may be disposed 10 question the
figures above given; but those who know
him know that he is splendid farmer
and thoroughly truthful and responsible
man, and that his figures are correct.
He is probably Ie wealthiest colored
