the devastated fields of France but
the stolid and very wrongly di-
rected feelings and purposes of the
German people. So the American
flag, says Mr. Burton ,does not fly

ION VI those interested:

the aCCenLIuIl VI those interested:
Lands for peanuts: Peanuts thrive
best on sandy gray soils, but good
yield can be made on the clay and
heavy loamy soils. The objection to
red clay lands is that the iron, the ell
ement that gives the soil the red col
or, of this soil stains the hulls of the
nuts, making them undesirable for
confections but they are all right for
oil purposes. Then too, the "pegs'
sometime fail to take to the ground
of the hard clay soils.
Seeding: Use the Little White
Spanish and plant in the hulls about
four to six inches apart in 30-inch
rows. Much objection has been found
to seeding the shelled peanuts OH ac-
count of their drying out.
Fertilizing: Use from 400 to 500
pounds of S-2-3 on the sandy lands,
and 9-2-3 on the clay soils. If cotton
tends to rust on the sandy land the
supply of potash should be increased
to per cent. 600 pounds seems to De
a reasonable amount to use, and not
under this since peanuts are heavier
feeders of plant food than cotton.
Let your ammonia come from a
quickly available source.
Lining: While there seems to be
doubt as to the use of lime, expert
ments show that lime pays on all le-
igumes. See your County Agent about
the litmus acid test of your soil. Use
good grade of lime. (See article
on liming)

Golden Wedding Celebration

The chime of the wedding bell is
ever sweet but in the ringing of the
golden wedding bells there is a mel
ody that is by far sweeter, for it tells
that two have lived in welded happi-
ness for SO years. And so on Febru-
ary 2, 1920, as the golden wedding
bells chimed at Ridge Spring, all
were glad and happy, for these were
ringing for Capt. and Mrs. Michael
w. Watson, it having been so years
since the two plighted their troth,
Michael w. Watson-Mary Mathews
King.
On this happy day there were hun
dreds of friends and relatives, far
and near, sending and giving good
wishes and congratulations.
This couple has lived most of their
married life at Ridge Spring and on
this happy occasion, they celebrated
this anniversary. From four to six
o'clock a beautiful reception was
had, and with the couple were their
eight children. These are Mesdames
!. W. Mixson, of Union, j. M. Ivey of
Rock Hill, E. M. Rodgers of Blen-
helm, Miss Pansy Watson, of Charles
ton and Messrs. A. C. Watson Of
Orangeburg, W. H. and j. M. Watson
of Charleston and w. w. Watson of
Ridge Spring.
Besides the many friends that
came, there was a general family re-
union of the children and grand
children, nieces, nephews and cous-
ins.
The home was beautifully decorat-
ed in golden blossoms and ferns.
Mrs Blair Watson received the
guests at the front and passed from
here into the parlor where stood the
bride and groom of so years, upon
whose brows the years sit but lightly.

Miss Florence Minis Writes of
a Lecture by Burton Holmes.

Dear Advertiser:
Every year Burton Holmes, an
European traveller and lecturer gives
a series of travelogues illustrated
with motion pictures of very high
order, in the Boston Symphony Hall.
He is a scholarly looking man with
many worth while things to say.
This afternoon I enjoyed hearing of
and seeing the Rhine as it is today,
with its picturesque peasants, color
full scenery and historic castles. The
Rhine, he said, does not belong ex-
clusively to the Germans, for first it
was Caesars Rhine later Napoleon's
Rhine and today it belongs to the
world "a constant reminder of the
greatest victory of mankind.
Along its banks have grown up
many wierd legends such as that of
the Lorelei who enchanted the sail
ors with their songs and destroyed
them in the waves. Any such melo-
dies today, Mr.. Holmes wittily sug-
|gested, would have to be sung in
Yankee ragtime, for the heroes are
no longer legendary, but "very per-
feet, gentle knights" in khaki and
French blue who are patrolling the
streets end overlooking the conquer
ed territory.
It is the irony of fate that today
American soldiers march the streets
file on file with Che Stars and Stripes
waving above them, while the Ger
man inhabitants remove their hats
as the flag passes, if not from re-
|spect, from compulsion. In one of
the old homes associated with Bis
marck, American soldiers are living,
and the little children, too young to
feel their country's humiliation enjoy
the company of +he American dough-

those for the children's chapters.
At the conclusion of the historical
program the folding doors into the
lovely dining room were thrown op-
en-, disclosing a prettily appointed
tea table under the rosy glow of the
shaded electric light.
Blue and white block cream, with
individual angel cakes, on whose
snowy icing gu. D. c." was outlined

flag most beloved. Delicious red and
