' ^ The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. " _ fri ABBEVILLE, S. C. 4tf~Pnbllshed every Wednesday at S2 a pt yoar In advance. A Wednesday, March 27,1901. & ?-? ?- th to The News and Courier's Washington correspondent on Thursday had a 2-column w write-up of Congressman Latimer, giving him a boost for McLaurln's place. Kither he Li is Charleston's lavorite or he Is paying for lt< space?perhaps both.?Newberry Observer. m We see no reason why the News and Cour- ( ler should not publish a 2-column write-up of m * Latimer, or anybody else. The expense th of the publication should be decided by the parlies. Such publications necessarily cost a] somebody something. The cost should fall W( on the man who is most interested. If Lati* mer was more Interested than the News and b( Courier then be should pay. If not, then the News and Courier should pay. n( Kxcept In cases like that of the News and ^ Courier, and a publication by the Atlanta Constitution, Mr. Latimer is very economical. ' While the publication of flattering notices fe] which were prepared by bim, or at his In. Btp,nee, would be grateful to Mr. Latimer be m was not willing to pay the expense In w some of the country papers a year or two ago, y? but other newspapers, we believe, did pub- ^ llsh them at their own expense. th We do not know what arrangement was made with the News and Courier. Neither ^ do we know what amount Mr. Latimer paid the Atlanta Constitution. But If be sent as s many copies to other counties as were sent to Abbeville, he certainly paid a good bill, while gu x the transient rate of postage seems to have bl been evaded. Mr. Latimer could not send these vo papers to Abbeville, (three mall bags full, flg estimated at twelve hundred copies,) without the payment of one oent on each copy. Whether The Atlanta iodsihuhou ijuu <.inright to mall Mr. Latimer's papers with the 1 papers to the regular subscribers to that vi paper without attaching the one-cent stamp Co on each is a matter between the publisher and tic the post office department. lei This newspaper expects to make proper tb charges for personal notices, and It is per- oif fectly right that they 6houid be paid for. If of we advertise a store, a machine shop, a rail- su road, or other enterprises, we charge for it. th If any politician is more interested than we otl are In having puffs of himself published, he B1 must stand the expense. We don't Intend to on be Imposed upon in this matter. kl It is said that Mark Hanna said, when be A ' wanted anything, he paid for It. That is the sai proper way for self-respecting politicians to tic do. We do not expect to "deadhead" that kind of business, any more than we would "deadhead" the sale of a stock of goods. It is just as honorable and just as honest for a 1 - . . m politician to pay for tbe puDiicauon or nis speech as It Is for blm to deliver It . Ei Cli Pardoned by the Governor. DO The Governor is exercising tbe pardoning 0j| power with a free hand. In nearly all tbe t,0 notices of tbe pardons It Is said that tbe pri- bu goners are dying of consumption, or words to p]( that effect. Bat people at home say that 8lI these pardoned convicts refuse to die accord- on ing to appointment, after getting home. pl( Whether they die or live after getting home l0 is Immaterial. If they are suffering with consumption they should not be pardoned, any more than a patient suffering with smallpox, should be sent from tbe pest bouse to i die at home. In either case an injustice is m done to an Innocent public. A consumptive roi has no more right tospraad his Infection than it has a smallpox patient. ed If the statements as to tbe number of consumptlve cases are approximately correct, it en occurs to us that somebody may tbe derelict a r in bis duty. Wby are not the cells which bu consumptives leave fumigated before putting tic othermenln tbe death trap? With proper care on the part of prison authorities It seems to us, there is do necessity for tbe great number of tbe cases of consumption which are 1 constantly reported in the newspapers. sh Another matter. If our memory is rot at no fault, tbe Governor sometimes adds his 2 opinion tbat tbe convict "has been sufficient- Se ly punished," or words to tbat effect. We wi submit that the Governor Bbould seldom par- trs don anybody for such a reason. It seems to 3 ub that if he grants pardon, be ought usually wl to do so, In deference to the recommendation alt or tbe jury, tbe solicitor or the judge, who no tried the case, though of course there may be tbi occasions when he might aot on bis own ac or count. In making this criticism, we mean no reflection on Governor McSweeney, who has given us as good a Governor as South Caro- j lina ever bad, and no man Is prouder of bis wl record than Is the Press and Banner who |al stands to tbe printer-governor lorever. c? tic ba Cuba Will Accept (ondltloas. 1Ur It now looks as if tbe Cubans will accept _ 11.0 turmiiiiM dnwn bv the American Con grcsB. This Is well, and must be gratifying 10 peace-loving people. Hut the Cubans are asking tbat tbey be treated Justly In the matter ot commercial relations, whereby trade between tbe Island W and tbe States, may be promoted. Tbe Government at Washington should remove all j tariff duties on goods from the Island, and dl< I lie Island should In like manner encourage vl trade with the United States. We believe tbat trade with Cuba, Porto Klco and the bu Philippine Islands should be as free as tbe trade between other parts of tbe Vulted States. go wt ? ? tel Tt We Accept. Ce The editor of the Press and Banner gladly uu accepts the Charleston Post's invitation to "visit the exposition, where he may see the glories of life and the breadth of human thought and purpose." We are going to see your show. We hear nice of Charleston, and H we know the people of Charleston are the salt of the earth, and we were just trying to joke you a little, while making an ettort to CQ get the News and Courier to help you and us iai get up a big show. Look out for diagrams lit and explanatory notes next time. "jj. it Is said that Charleston is on the eve of a it, new era, and that new men and new faces are appearing on the scenes. Charleston and Ab- ^ bevllle are very much alike in some things, w< and we think Abbeville Is the best place on Tl earth?Charleston comes next. Hlimbii)c Directories. This is the time of the year when theNews* paper Directories bob up and ask for sworn statements of circulation and a subscription 11 to the Directory. An Implied threat to make "estimates'' themselves It their wish is not ' complied with, usually accompanies there- ?o quests. As we receive no foreign orders which we could accept, weshali give the Dl- is, rectories no concern whatever. They can put us down at no circulation at all, If they wish. In fact, they may put this newspaper down as "dead" to all advertising mai set&b jjuullolty without pay. We wouldn't give a fig SI for foreign advertising. The way to bandle foreign advertising Is to throw the copy in the waste basket, and save It to start fires In pr the stove. . i A business Arm in this town estimates that farmers and speculators in Abbeville County i have lost $50,000 by holding their cotton for ! the fall In prices. Nine dollars a bale Is the j estimated loss. One man's loss Is said to be j Sl.fHK). Judge W. H. Wallace, Bpeaksr of the ?,!

Senator McLaurln in a recent letter to a cltln of Abbeville, among other thing*, said : 'I think I am right, and will Dot be swerved am what I consider my duty, as well as hatl think Is best.for my people, by adirse criticism." \ gentleman from another county, who Is miliar with both the newspapers and the ibllc sentiment, In a recent private letter to bbevllle says: "Looks like the antl-McLaurln crowd has it very little upon which to congratulate ?elf. Seems to me that most ofMcLaurln's >ponents have about convinced themselves at the Senator Is right, and that he is going succeed In proving H to the people." We know of citizens of this County, bo are now enthusiastic supporters of Mo lurin, who were In 1892 such strong Tillman38 that they wouldn't allow an anti-Tillan paper go into their houses. Of course the vote of a few strong Tillman en will count for but little, but as a straw ey indicate much. In a talk with a gentleman ot this city lew days ago, he said he thought McLaurlu ould be reelected. If McLaurln did not ver his relations with the Democratic party i thought the chances were entirely in hlB vor. He did not think so, until lately. But >w he thinks the violence with which he has ten attacked, will react in his favor. McLaurln's acts in voting for the treaty ot >ace, the army, and the subsidy, as far as we sow, are not offensive to the people of Ab(vllle County. If he makes a vigorous and anlyflght, as we believe that he will, he ill, we believe, receive a msjority of the ites In this section. As the lime for the mpaign draws near it will be seen that ere will not be a regiment of candidates for 8 place. But be that as it may, neither Mclurin nor his friends will be bluffed of) e track, or out of the raoe. Since writing the above we spoke to one of e most popular men in this county on the bject. He said that if McLaurin presented s cause in every part of the State that his te would be a surprise to those who are ling Dim. Exhibit This Fact. When Charleston has her big show.

It is a day of rejoicing among all mankind. Even the Sfr' agnostic, despite his views, feels its influence. It more than any other period seems to be the birth of spring, the unfolding of nature's sweetest secrets, the shrubs and flowers. It is a day when hospitality is supreme. Spring flowers make a most lovely table embellishment. Yellow blooms should be employed?yellow, the glory of the sun. the emblem of life?with their own crisp foliage. Yellow can also be placed under a white lace centerpiece. If madam is the possessor of gold and white glass or gold and white china, it should be used. Yellow bonbons are obtainable, and candied quarters of oranges nre especially appropriate in color as well as delicious in flavor. It should not be forgotten, however, even on this feast day that it is spring and that consequently the viands to bo served should be dainty. Here is an acceptable and seasonable menu for Easter luncheon: "?....... >a Oysters on Half Shell. ' > Anchovy Canapes. < i Fresh Sliced Cucumbers. 11 Chicken Breast with New Cauliflower. < > Easter Salad. 11 Salpicon of Fruit. < i Black Coffee. M*? ? ???? ?? ??? Chicken Breasts.?Have the butcher remove the fillets from the chickens and lard them. Under each one lay a slice of fat pork in the bottom of the braising pan. Dredge well with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and set on the stove. Cook slowly half an hour, .then add one pint of white stock. Cover the pfcn and place in a moderate oven for one hour, basting frequently with the gravy. Do not let the gravy cook away. Take the fillets, drain them, cover with soft butter and dredge lightly with (lour. Broil till a light brown. Boil the cauliflower and place it in the center of a platter and place the chicken breasts about it and then small link sausages, fried. Over the cauliflower pour a white sauce and on the breasts a sauce made of the stock in which they were cooked; Skim all the fat from it and cook a tablespoonful of butter and one teaspoonful of flour together until a light brown: then add the gravy and boil up once and strain. Select new potatoes of even size, boil and serve with a little melted butter seasoned with salt and pepper; sprinkle over them finely chopped parsley. Easter Salad.?Select the crisp, fine leaves of endive and form into a fluffy green nest in the salad bowl. Mash two cakes of Neufohatel cheese and soften with a teaspoonful of olive oil, mold into egg shaped balls and place within the green. Pass a French dressing with this salad. Salpicon of fruit served with whipped cream is universally liked. Mix lightly equal portions of orange pulp, bananas cut into half inch dice, pineapple and a few strawberries. Add sugar and sherry or liquor. Let it stand an hour on the ice before serving. Then place in a glass or silver bowl and over the top pour sweetened whipped cream. Garnish thickly with strawberries. What the Red Azalea Said. It seemed to her that she had never ?aaait?ar1 oa mn r? t? q " TT'.n ctor tima There were Easter lilies, a cluster or two of violets, lilies of the valley, and all manner of flowers breathing Easter messages. There was even a red azalea, which had been sent by the young man who was always doing something original and thought that all ideas of the proprieties would die with him. "Azalea!" said the girl, looking at the glaring redness wrapped up in a bent cylinder of pink tissue paper. "I wonder whatever possessed him to send that!" "What are you going to do with all those flowers?" asked the girl's aunt, who was interested in charities. "Don't you think it'll be a splendid scheme to send them to the flower mission?" "Well," replied the girl, "I don't know but that it would. How would it do to send the azalea first of all. I suppose that as a matter of fact I ought to place it in the parlor window on a 6tand and loop up the curtains on either side." "I'm afraid," sighed the elderly woman, who had little time to think about herself, "that you are rather hypercritical." There was a spot where the red azalea bush, with its covering of pink, brought joy and sunshine. It was in the place where physicians move from cot to cot, and the jangle of the ambulance bell was heard every few minutes in the street below. It was not often that flowers came into that room to speak to those whose heads were lying upon the white pillows. Yet there was a message which the red azalea brought to many. 1 do not remember that in the language of flowers the azalea means anything at all. In a sheaf of pink tissue paper, with a red ribbon bound around it, there is little of eloquence. Yet in that hospital ward the red azalea was not dumb.? New York Herald. Coloring: Banter Egg:*. Easter eggs can bo colored with aniline dye. It should be diluted to the proper shade and the eggs boiled in it. Green, the color of hope and resurrection, is particularly appropriate, but a variety is pleasing?red, pink, blue, pale yellow and purple. Eggs can be boiled hard and painted in water colors with a single spring uower, us 11 pnuirusc ui a uuu?fly, also a symbol of the resurrection. They should be nrrangcd in nests of moss. German children believe that the Easter eggs are laid by bares, so representations of this little animal are often placed on them, or near them. Painted butterflies, mounted on wire, can be made to hover over the nest. The French peasants believe that on Easter morning, at the sound of the rejoicing bells, fair angels with azure wings were supposed to descend from heaven bearing baskets of eggs, which they deposited in the houses of the faithful. Sometimes, however, it happened that the evil one slipped in an accursed egg among those which came from heaven. The hot cross buns at Easter are the cakes which the pagan Saxons ate in honor of their goddess Eastre and from which the Christian clergy sought to expel the pagauisni by marking them with the cross. Many things are difficult and dark to me ; DUl I uau act; mic luuj^ ijun.? clearly, that I must not, canuot seek my own happiness by sacrificing others. Take thy self denials gayly andcheerfully, and let the sunshine of thy gladness fall on dark things and bright alike, like the sunshine of Almighty. Many a time what we call failure is inly God's angel stripping us of hindrances, and setting us free from lower sntanglements, bo that the higher in us may have free use of all its power. J fi. A.

You may not attain to your ideal, but you will be a better farmer, a better man and a better citizen if you are always striving towards improvement. Improvement in stock and the buildings for their comfort, improvement iu seed and crops, and of course, improvement in the land itself and in all their procceses needed for the cultivation of the soil. The season is near at hand when the farmer will have an opportunity to review the season just past and note wherein he has failed, to study his successes and the methods that led to them, and can thus be in a better coudition to plan for the future season. Plan to have more of the succes-es and fewer of the failures. If the season has taught you the reason for your not getting better results with a certain crop, do not let the lesson be lost. If every farmer could keep brief notes of every day's operations on the farm in a brief and compact Shape, he would have at the close of the season a mass of hints for the future. It is the men who plan most in advance who make the greatest successes, and are never behindhand. Determine now that during the winter you wH study more than ever, and that you will use lees guesswork in your farming. There is nothing like reducing all your business to writing, and to measure and weigh everything. I? you do not know the exact content of every one of your fields, measure them accurately when you have leisure. Drill measure in seeding wheat and threeher m. asure in storing the crop J *- ?2on nnnnrofo Lr nna) lcrioru UO UUl give JUL. ou ^ of the size of your fields or the number of bushels you can sell of the crop. Study the feeding of your animals and prepare rations that are best adapted to the needs of each, and try to compound the rations with some degree of accuracy. Weigh your mil it and do not credit a cow with a lot of foam and call it quarts of milk. Test the weigh the milk of each cow, and see whether that cow is paying for her feed. Put a high ideal before you for the cows to come up to as well as for every other animal kept, and all that are not approaching the ideal get rid of as soon as possible. Set a high ideal on the farm hands and treat those well who try to come up to your ideal of what a farm hand should be. The man who comes up to your ideal is worth far better pay than the common run of them. In a word, weed out inferiority on the farm and take' thebestcare of the developing ones from the farm hand down to the pijr. "So shall your barns be filled with plenty.
