The most difficult Question on earth
to settle is how much one owes to
oneself, and how much to ones
family.
Possibly it is one of the problems
that no one ever does solve satisfac-
torily, for no answer is ever just the
right answer to the riddle. Your guess
always seems the wrong guess, and
no matter which course you take, you
are apt to wish that you had taken
the other one.
OF course. to those with an in
growing conscience, or to those in
whom the domestic affections are very
strongly developed, the first impulse
is to immediate themselves on the fam
lily altar. They sacrifice their lives,
their happiness, their talents. their
ambitions, everything to their hus-
bands or wives, or their parents, or
their children, or their brothers and
sisters.
They do not feel that they have any
duty to themselves. or any right to
their own lives. They consider that
thty were created merely to be the
slaves of their families, and to spend
their lives ministering to others, and
doing the work that others are too
lazy and trifling to do
And the family always accepts the
sacrificiaI goat. Let any member OF a
family show a Willingness to be a
burden bearer, and he or she VIII
soon find the whole family load
dumped on his or her shoulders Let
any member of a family deny him
self or herself to give to the others
and he or she will be held up and
robbed ruthlessly- of every penny.
Let any member of a family begin
putting others before himself or her
self. ard he or-she will be permanent
w relocated to a back seat.
This is not because families intend
to be unduly cruel to the poor family
martyr. On the contrary, they really
are fond of the one they are persecut-
ing, but it is one of life's little ironies
that we treat those we love worse
than We do those we hate, and that

QUEER WAYS OF CARPENTRY.
Hew Chinese Methods Differ From
Those Of The West.

A newcomer to China can never fail
to be interested in watching the work
that goes on in a carpenters shop.
The methods ere so different from
those to which we are accustomed,
and at the same time so simple and
practical.
To begin with, there is nothing in
the nature of a clamp or wise for
holding down the piece of wood that
is being worked upon.
If it is quite small it is simply
placed against a stop on the bench
and held firm by string which pass
es round the carpenters foot.
For larger ana more awkward
pieces such as an old beam which has
to be stood on end for saving into
planks, the carpenter will rig up some
impossible Heath-Robinson arrange
ment of levers, weights and ropes
which fulfills its purpose surprising
- we'll.
Circular or land saws are almost
unknows-labor is far too cheap-and
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1922-01-19

it is a common sight to see huge logs
being made into planks by two men.
This is done by leaning them in a
sloping position against a rough tres
tie, one end resting on the ground.
One man stands balanced on the log
and the other stands or sits on the
ground underneath, while both work
a long saw up and down between
them.
The moo-jeang, as the carpenter is
called, is very skillful with a form
of tool which may best be described
as a cross between European hatchet
and a pickax. It has sharp cutting
edge, perhaps four OF five inches long
as in the former case, but the edge
of the blade is at right angles to
long handle as in the latter.
The man will stand on the piece of
wood he is shaping and use the tool
in much the same way as navy uses
a pickax, swinging it so as to strike
into the wood few inches in front
of his foot. 1t is a terrible business
to watch, for it seems as if sooner
or later he must inevitably make
slight misjudgment and cut off his
toes. But he never does. Quite in
tricate shapes, such as the paddles
for a boat, are made in this manner.
The Chinese device for making holes
is a drill, consisting of a steel bit
mounted in the end of a wooden rod
about foot long, at the top Of which
is a pivoted socket for pressing the
drill down into the wood by hand.
Two strings are wound round the
rod in opposite directions, one from
the top and the other from the bot
tom, and these are attached to the
ends of a stick which crosses the
drill at right angles. By working
this stick to and fro across the drill
after the manner of a violin bow one
Of the strings is unwound, thus rotat-
ing the drill, while the other is wound
up, and the bit is made to turn rapid
ly first in one direction and then in
the other.-London Daily Mail.

no underground stems to make it
pest. It's leaves are wider and more
rounded at the tips than those of
Bermuda grass and lighter in color.
Seeds are produced in slender seed
fingers, two to five to each stem.
Carpet grass requires moist OF
at least not a droughty soil and sue
ceeds better in such soils if sandy
than other pasture grass. The min
imum temperature it will survive is
about 10 F. Carpet grass pastures
are readily established in titled land
by seeding at any time from early
spring to late summer on we'll firm
ed seed bed, when moistur. -onditi ms
are favorable. On unbroken or stump
land good results car be secured by
burning or moving the tall native
grasses, seeding at favorable time,
and then pasturing to keep the native
grasses constantly short. Under this
treatment the native grasses are
eradicated in one or two years and
replaced by O. pure stand Of carpet
grass.
The carrying capacity of good car
pet grass pasture is one cow to the
acre for the five best months and one
cow to two acres for three to five
months longer.
Dallis graz, lespedeza, white clover,
bur clover, black medic, and Augusta
vetch are desirable in mixture with
carpet rass. Italian rye may be used
as a winter mixture, but needs to be
sown each fall. Under some condi-
tions redtop should be used to pre-
cede carpet grass. Carpet grass pas
lures should be grazed to their capac-
ity, as under heavy grazing the best
condition is maintained.
Carpet grass pasture supplement-
ed by the plants mentioned will make
an ideal pasture that can be grased
nearly, if not quite, 'he entire twelve
months.
Bitterweed and dog fennel are the
only two weeds that seriously invade
carpet grass pastures. During the
first two seasons these weeds should
be moved before they ripen seed.
Thereafter they will cause but little
trouble, but moving should be re-
sorted to when necessary.
Seed of carpet grass is easily
harvested by moving and thrashing.
Large areas Of pure or nearly pure
carpet grass occur in several regions
in the South.
Up to the present the quantity of
seed produced has been only frac-
ton of that required. A comprehen-
sive plan has been devised to in
crease greatly the harvesting Of seed
as the outstanding need to stimulate
much greater use of carpet grass
for pastures is an ample seed supply.

A Frightening Outlook.

Commenting on the business out
look for 1921 The Charleston News
and Courier says: among business
and financial leaders in this country
the opinion now seems general that
the worst Of the long slump is over
and that the outlook for business is
frightening. "The year 1921 was a
year of readjustment and uncertain
ty," says Mr.. William C. Potter, Pres
ident of the Guaranty Trust Company
of New York, "yet as the year draws
to a close there are evidences that
the country is emerging in sound con-
dition from the period of severe busi-
ness depression that began about the
middle of 1920. There is much data,
in fact, that indicate that business
is gradually returning to natural
basis and that the fundamentals for
sound progress are daily being
strengthened"
"In support of this view Mr.. Pot
ter points to the fact that the volume
of textile manufacture is now gener-
ally upon the level of the early fall
OF 1919; that wool consumption has
increased very substantially; that the
volume of new business is increasing;
that the railroads are making progress
toward recovery; that wholesale prices
are being stabilized at something like
fifty per cent above the pre-war level,
generally speaking; and that in the
South there have been "many compen-
sating advantages" growing out Of
the short cotton crop-"especially in
the matter Of liquidating old loans" "
IF the world at large can only get
grip on itself now and take fresh
start this country should regain its
prosperity, at least in the measure
which it is willing to work for it.
There will be no recurrence Of the
orgy which followed the armistice.
There are not many, surely, who will
entertain regrets on that account.

CARPET GRASS BEST.
For Permanent Pasture in the Coast

Carpet grass is the most important
grass for permanent pasture in the
Coastal Plain area of the South.
Carpet grass is not native grass,
but was accidentally introduced from
tropical America before 1880 and has
spread generally over the Southern
States.
Carpet grass is perennial pale
green grass, spreading by creaping
stems which root at every joint, thus
forming a close, compact turf; it has
