HALLOWEEN PARTY

On last Saturday evening, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. d. Gerald entertained the
teachers Of the Manning school at a
lovely Halloween party.
The guests were met at the door by
ghost who extended very cold and
clanny hand. They were then taken
into the spacious though dimly lighted
living room where bats, black cats.
jack O lanterns and other weird OBJ
jects stared at you from every nook
and corner. After much fun and ex-
citement, the lights Frightened and
several clever contests were had. Miss
Annie Richards proved herself a real
artist in drawing the suggested pic
ture and received first prize, while
the BOBBY fell to Mrs. Bessie Lesesne.
Another. most interesting contest
was that of carrying peanuts across
the room on a knife blade. Miss
Sallie Dixon proved an expert in this.
After several more very interesting
contests, the hostess served a most
tempting salad course with ice-tea.
She was assisted in entertaining by
her two clever sons, Jack and Alston.
Just before bidding the host and hos
tess goodnight the guests were given
their fortunes by means of various
colored candles.
Mrs. Gerald's attractive home was
made more so by the beautiful deco
rations of cut flowers, fall leaves and
Halloween suggestions.

CAROLINA SUMMER

Were you e'er in Carolina in, the
warmest summer time,
When the world seemed wrapped in
softest, bluest haze;
And you saw the haze-wisps fading
when the sun began to climb :?
Just another of the Carolina days.
Did you know the drowsy monday
down in Carolina's land
With that buzzy, croony something
you can hear?
"Tis our Caroline with nature, walk
ing with her hand in hand:
"Tis the beauty Of the Southland in
the air.
Then, when twilight casts her vapor-
Gus cloak about q tired day
And the sunlight starts to fade be-
hind the pine,
Did you catch the end of twilight as
the scarlet faded gray?
Then 'tis restland down in peace
full Caroline.
o our Caroline is lovely when the
sun begins to sink,
And she's lovely at the suns first
fleeting line;
And we love her for the beauty that
the Gods gave us to drink
From the soft and gentle DAYS of
Caroline.

HALLOWEEN PARTY.
NEAR SUMMERTON

very unique and interesting oc-
casion Of the season was a Halloween
party given by little Miss Mary Esth-
er Mcknight, to number Of her
school mates on the afternoon of Fri
day, October the twcnty-ninth.
The house was artistically decorat-
ed with jack O. lanterns, black cats,
and the fruits of the harvest, also
cut flowers of russes and gold were
used in profusion.
Many enjoyable games were played
such as chewing the string for candy,
bobbimg for apples, ETC., these being
conducted by Miss Valena. Mcknight.
One of the most interesting features
OF the occasion took place when Miss
Ruth Mcknight in striking costume,
charmingly acted, the part Of witch
girl-entered with q smoking clad
ron and told the fortunes of each of
the guests.
During the course of the afternoon,
the guests were called to the dining
room and began the search for their
place at the table, these being deter
mined by black cat placards. De-
llcious refreshments were then served.

RAISE HOGS AND GROW RICH

Cotton farmers Of Carolina are cer-
tanly awake to the fact that they are
due for a change and that change
must be made now. Too much cotton
even with the boil wccvil ravishinp
the crop, sounds the near danger sig-
nal that some of our "eggs must be
put in another basket" Live stock
farming is the way out, and there is
no live stock growing into which
planters can embark as cheaply and
as quickly as hogs. Necessary pre-
parations in the way of fence and
permanent pastures are cheaper than
for cattle, breeding amounts come
cheaper, and returns come quicker.
The wise thing for the South Carolina
farmer to do right now is to get in
some pasture and make some hog pens
with good fencing for as sure as the
world he is going to buy hogs before
spring.
In this day of improved machinery
and higher prigod land it would be
wasting good money to grow scrub
hogs. Buy pure bred hogs. What is
pure bred? An animal that has
thorough succeeding generations, been
improved by mating and care so that
he gives more and quicker returns for
the feed you give him. Records are
kept simply SO buyers will know they
are getting pure breds. Right here
IN your home town Of Manning is a
concern that has put out lots of money
to bring the best hogs in the world
right at your door. Every farmer
around Manning needs to grow hogs
in 1921 and it will pay you to talk the
matter over with Bradham Farms and
the .proprietors will give you the right
advice as to what and when to buy and
how to feed
The Duroc Jersey is an established
hog in South Carolina and there are
as many Durocs in the State as all
other pure breds combined and they
are making good. The Duroc Jersey
sow Will make you Il profit with her
litter, and put fertilizer on your fields
cheaper than you can buy the COM
mcrcial product. There is always a
market for your pigs every day in the
year and you don't need gin or a
warehouse. These are provided for
you at the great market centers of the
country. Many hog raiscrs are maxi
ing money supplying local markets
with products. Don't send good Caro-.
lima dollars to Chicago for meat when
you have better conditions under
which to grow it than the Northern
farmer.

GEORGE SMITHS BIRTHDAY

One of the prettiest children's par
ties OF the season was the one given
on last Tuesday afternoon by Master
George Malcolm Smith, Jr., in honor
of his sixth birthday. Halloween,
colors and decorations were carried
out in the dining room, where deli
clous ice cream cones, pink and white
patty cakes, bananas and candies were
served. The little tots indeed made a
lovely picture gathered around the
tables, DECORATED in jack O. lanterns,
pumpkins etc, and lovely white
birthday cake with it's six pink and
whlte candles was the center of at
traction. AS the children left the
table they were each given a hal
low'een box filled with candy as a
souvenir by the occasion. ~
Mrs. r. c. Wells and Mrs. ]. w.
Wheeler assisted Mrs. Smith in scrv-
ing refreshments, and Miss Frances
Dickson and Miss Mildred Smith kent
the children busy with games. About
tlfty boys and girls enjoyed Master
Smiths party.

BRADHAM DUROC FARM
SECURE MANY PRIZES
Clarendon County Hogs Play Havoc
With Hog Records at The
... State Fair.

1t takes money to feed any kind of a
hog, but it takes less to feed q good
one. This fact was easily demonstrate
ed at the South Carolina State Fair at
Columbia last week when the Duroc
hogs belonging to the Bradham Duroc
Farm of Manning, returned home with
bunch of prizes to their credit.
Mr.. j. /. Bradham, manager of the
Farm, shipped thirteen head of these
hogs and they were the following win
ners:
Grand Champion Senior Sow-First
and Second
and Second.
Junior Sow Pig-Second.
Age Herd-First.
Young Herd-First.
Produce of Sow-First.
Get of Sire-Second.
Senior Boar-First.
Senior Boar Pig-First.
Grand Champion Boar-First.
Junior Boar Pig-Second.
Futurity Litter--Second.
This is wonderful record for a
hog farm and the farmers of Claren-
don County should be proud of the
fact that Clarendon hogs make Just
as good showing (if not better) as
any in the country.
The Bradham Farm will offer 8ome
of these winners at their Winter Sale
on December 28th and this will be a
great opportunity for our farmers to
improve their breeds by getting pure
bred stock.

Fast Driven Car in
Pee Dee.

Florence, Nov. 2.-Hal Scarborough,
II years old, and son of the late Capt.
Harry w. Scarborough, Atlantic
Coast Line conductor, who died sud-
denly on his train at Rimini about six
weeks ago, was killed, and five other
young men more or less injured when
a big, high powered car overturned
on the Darlington road near the Pee
Dee fair grounds late this afternoon.
The young men were returning to
Florence from trip over a newly
built road and were driving at high
rate of speed. 1t is alleged that
honnie Harris, owner and driver of
the car, swerved too far to pass an
approaching automobile with the re-
suit that the front wheels of his car
straddled the dith. In the effort to
jump back into the main road he put
on all the power the car would stand
with the result that it jumped the
: ditch and then turned over, possibly
twice. Young Scarborough was caught
underneath the automobile and
crushed almost beyond recognition.
Both OF his legs were also broken.
His death was instantaneous. Others
injure dwere Manning Saunders, Joe
Lucas and Lonnie Harris of Florence
and G. A. Outlaw and Clarence Doyle
OF Darlington All were taken to the
Florence infirmary Immediately after
the accident where their wounds were
dressed. Harris, Saunders and Lucas
were stunned and did not regain con-
sciousness for while. While none
OF them are seriously injured, all Of
the young men bear bruises and cuts
about their faces and bodies. Doyle
and Harris were on the front seat
with Sea rhOrOllph ,yh,, ,,,oc l,;llod
Doyle was hurled through the wind
shiel das was Harris, the driver of
the car 1t is thought that Scarbor-
ough was caught under the car as it
turned ever. The coroner will hold
an inquest over Scarborough's body
tomorrow morning. 1t has been re-
moved to an undertaken. The funer-
al services will probably be held in
Bishopville. The young man leaves

front, is finished In a drop stitch of
several different colors. The set-in
strip which forms the bottom and
sides of his bag IL IL inches wide
and goes three-fourths round the
circle, leaving one-fourth open at
the top. The handle Is one inch
wide and 1s inches long, each end
sewed to the center top of the back
and front Of the bag, thus making a
comfortably large loop for opening
and carrying.

Next is a basket bag, the di-
mansions of which are So inches at
the bottom and 12& inches at the
top, with a Sh finch width and 10

roportion to the bag should be long
enough to make the entire depth
of bag and handle 17A.
The interesting thing about these
bags is the combination OF bright
wool yarn against the shiny black
material. On the basket bag only
three large conventional flowers are
used. circles of water glass size, with
a scattering of green leaves about

of gay colors is run.
Bishops Bonnet"
Then there's a more p~retentious
bag of the Bishops bonnet" design,
10 which the simmer of oilcloth
lends itself beautifully. The three
pieces of oilcloth which make the
bonnet" proper are each = inches

the handles are ga inches long and
IL inches wide. The upper part
of the bag, which is made of soft
silk, and draws together with rib
bon draw strings, is 5k inches deep,
including a IL Inch heading.
Childrcn's Slippers
Most cunning of all are the kid
dies mules. No youngster could
resist the lure of something ''shiny'
and bright" at once. Buy ordinary
soles at a five and t%en-cent store,
line them with some pretty silk out
of the ragbag, and cut the tops
from oilcloth. The proportions for
these are determined by the size OF
the sole. The top from the toe up
ward should be two-thirds the
length of the sole; the width OF
the top should be twice the width
of the sole.
Another gift that can't very wei
help being appreciated is a gayly
stenciled oilcloth Owe for a tele-
phone book. A telephone screen
decorated to match the book cover
will make a perfect remembrance.
What They Cost
Some six or eight really artistic
and useful gifts may be constructed
from the above outlay at exceeding
ly moderate cost. Black oilcloth OF
the grade required costs from "a
cents to 81 a yard. Slipper soles are
10 cents a pair. Binding braid Is
about 80 cents a bolt. Ten-yard
skeins of yarn quite enough of one

each. If you have to buy yarn Sc

1t must be a source of considera-
BILE annoyance to the enemies of Pres
ident Wilson to discover at this late
date that he is not pro-British. 1t
really appears, after all, that the
president and the entire Democratic
administration throughout the war
were only pro-American. This is
very disconcerting; for was not the
administration looked upon by the
Republicans as being a branch OF the
British government? Why, most as
suredly; and furthermore, the Re-
publicans have consistently refused
to ratify the treaty of peace and the
league of nations covenant because of
alleged undue consideration for the
rights of Britain.
