Tbe recent remarks of the members of the Pickens Bar In honor of the memory of the late C. L. Hollingsworth are published in the Pickens newspapers. Hon. J. P. Carey made a beautiful and ap proprlate speech upon introducing the reso lotions of the Pickens Bar. Quite a number of speakers followed him and "endorsed" the remarks tbat had been so well said. , Tbe use of the capital "I" was another fea ture.

When the subject of the speaker Is "I" there certainly can be no objection to its use and as the speeches had considerable reference to the speakers themselves there Is nc objection to Its use In this instance. As we understand the meaning of the word endoree," speakers and others may err in the use of the word. In the case at Pick ena It may be the speakers used It advisedly irjiv * but we do not think so. To 'endorse' a man or to "endorse" a paper, Is tc assume superiority. According to oui way of looking at the matter, nelthei Mr. J. P. Carey's speech, nor Col. C. L.

S C" Mr. Lewis Gillespie seeds us word, that be saw tbe first copy of tbe Abbeville Ban' ner printed. That was lu' tbe sprlog oi 1844. Tbe press was a hand press. The first copy was given to him, and he has been a subscriber ever since, and today has in Me possession a greater number of copies of the paper than any other citizen of tbe county. This editor will try to induce him to part with the files for the earlier years of the exist ence of the paper. Mr. Gillespie Is a good clt> lzen, and has now reached bis eighty-fourth f year. We will place his name first on tbe "Honor Roll," and he need pay no more sub' scrlption to tbe Press and Banner. HE IS RISEN. And Gladness Fills Onr Hearts? Christians In all Lands Celebraie the Resurrection of Onr Saviour. " Last Sunday was Easter, and several of our churches were beautifully decorated. Devout congregations assembled at the services, which were intended to commemorate the day. "This sacred festival has been termed the queen of festivals; it has been observed . from the very beginning, and celebrated In every part of the Christian world with great solemnity and devotion." Rev. Dr. Daniels preached from the first eight verses of the twentieth chaptor ot St. John, and gave a most entertaining discourse on a subject which has been so often the toploof pulpit utterance. He referred to the opposition which existed in some sections to the decoration of the bouses of worship, on occasions like this, as being foolish, and as the most nonsensical that bad attracted the attention of men. Our Saviour was curled in a garden, wbloh no doubt abounded in flowers and presented the choicest scenes in the living green that ever appeared to the human eye. Flowers were the choicest and most perfect handiwork in the great designs of the Supreme Architect. If, therefore, our Saviour was burled amid the living green, and if beautiful flowers made fragant the per iumea air, wny uuoaia uoi we, nis numoie children, decorate temples and bouses erected and dedicated to the worship of tbe Lord our Ood? Our Saviour likened himself to tbe lily of tbe valley and tbe rose of Sharon. Then why should we not bring tbe purest and best of earth's creation to comxnemorate his resurrection ? The preacher remarked upon tbe character of Mary Magdelene. She had been a bad woman, and bad sinued grievously. She bad offended against tbe moral law and bad shocked tbe sensibilities of her sisters. For this reason sbe was shunned by otber women. But she bad repented and althougb she had beoome a devout follower of our Lord, yet tbe odor or her sins lingered about her, and sbe regarded not tbe conventionalities of polite sooiety. Contrary to custom, sbe went out alone. When it was yet dark, sbe went unto tbe sepulchre, and saw that tbe stone bad been removed from the sepulchre of our Saviour. Sbe did this in her zeal and in her love for her Lord, while tbe more orthodox and more circumspect of her sisters would bave waited for tbe coming of tbe light ol day. Discovering that our Saviour was not In the tomb, sbe again disregarded tbe conventionality by which her more circumspect sisters would have been governed. Sbe ran to ien me uews 10 atmon feter, and to tbe other disciples, whom she knew that Jesus loved. ? In Imitation of bis act resisting the persecution of another woman who bad grievously sinned, and in keeping with tbo character 01 oar Saviour who came to save sinners, and not*to call the righteous to repentance, be spoke to Mary Magdelene. In speaking thus to her, Instead of to bis disciples, who were present, there may be a lesson. The preacher said that there were not as much circumstantial evidence to prove any other important event in the career of our 8avlour, us there was In oonnectlon with bis resurrection. Everything goes to prove the historic fact, that Christ rose from the dead. "And if Christ be not raised, your faith Is vain ; ye are yet in your sins." The music of tbe occasion charmed and delighted all who beard it. Miss Eva Klrby, of the Senior Class In Converse College, bad been invited to oome home and play tbe organ on that day, and tbe vo cal and Instrumental music could not have been better. By her talent and accomplishments Miss Klrby baa won distinction in col lege, where she Is bo much beloved by classmates and teachers. Her friends in Abbeville are much pleased at her high stand In ConTTOKJO THE COTTON MILL. Notwithstanding the Had Weather Progress Has Been Made on the New Building. The machinery of the Abbeville Cotton Mill is constantly being brougtat to a blgber degree of perfection in the performance of the work, for which it was intended. The outpat of the mill was larger last month than for any previous montb, and the cost was reduced. The indications are that tbe stock ol the mill will rate as first class. Mr. Draper, one of tbe largest stockholders In tbe mill, and an expert in mill matters was in town last week, and we learD that be said this mill is inferior to no mill in tbe country. The work of ascertaining tbe loss by the recent Are goes on, and everything points to an equitable settlement by tne Insurance people. Tbe work of putting tbe sprinkler system in tbe warehouse baa been finished about a week before tbe Are. It was gratifying to bear the Insurance people say that water system saved the warehouse and tbe cotton from total destruction. ' The work of putting in tbe eleotrlo wires for lighting tbe mill goes on without interruption. The additional boilers are In place, only waiting for a single pleoe of pipe. The work of erecting tbe new mill bouse progresses as rapidly as possible under tbe disadvantages incident to tbe inclement weather. Tbe new mil) Is of tbe same dimensions as tbe present mill bouse. Tbe window and door frames are In tbe walls and one wall has been built high enough for tbe reception of the Jolstsjof the floor. rreBiaeni Baney la in excellent spirits as to tbe prospects of the mill. All the circumstances point to a successful future. And those who have stock will hold on to It, and those who may have expected to buy It at a sacrifice will be disappointed.
