IF p"T The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. 4E^Pabllshed every Wednesday at $2 f year Id advance. Wednesday, April 3, 1901. Prompt Work. Mr. Augustus Kobn, ot the News anc Courier, recently made most pleasant men lion or a noiaoie promptness iu iuo puuuu( of a public officer's report of several bundrec pages to tbe General Assembly. According to our recollection, Mr. Kobe stated tbat tbe work was printed and readj for delivery witbln four or five days after tbe last of the copy bad been nanded to the State printer. Tbat was prompt work, and It is pleasing tc see tbat Mr. Kobn was willing to award to a competing office deserved credit and praise To finish a book within four or live dayt after the last of theoopy had been furnished was quick work indeed, and great credit wat due to the enterprising State printer, i. * The Press and Banner office, like the State Printer, does job printing, and when we get e hurry-up job we send it out in a hurry, Kor instance: Last week the last of the copy on a book of over three hundred pagee was received on Thursday morning. JJexl day, twenty-six hours after receiving the last of the copy, copies of the book were flnlBh ed and put in tbe mall at Abbeville. This however, was nothing remarkable. We simply discharged a duty to a customer, and we deserve no particular credit for it and the acl .. Is scarcely worth mentioning by an office like ours, except to state facts. When the office has a full corps of excellent printers, all ol whom are lalthful, almost anything can be done, and la done, in the Press and Banner office. As far as we are able, we have stated the facts as to the State Printer's work, ana me work done in the Press and Banner office. I a either case as stated above, there Is an Important omission. Mr. Kohn did not say what amount of copy, or what number of i pages, were printed In the "four or five days.'In like manner, we were silent on that subject, and did not say how many pages we printed in the "twenty-six hours." For fear that Bome one may labor under a mistake In believing that a great book can he printed In ''twenty-six hours" "or even In lour or five days" after the copy has been handed to the printer, we will say that in the case of our job, the whole book had beeo * printed exoept sixteen pages, the form of which was being held over or left open, wait lng for two pages of tabulated statistics. The copy came on Thursday morning. The type wassetlu the forenoon of that day, aod In the afternoon the form was completed and put to press. The book was made up aod stitched, the back was pasted on and It was trimmed? maklDg the finished book. The Press and Banner has been greatly g rushed during the last few months. Our customers seem to be well pleased with both cur work and our prices. We can get more iij' > work than our printers can do, and sometimes we have been compelled to decline to bid ror printing wblcb was offered. While we do almost any kind of-work, we make special effort to print briefs. We bave never disappointed a lawyer in getting bis brief or argument ready for Court. Everybody In tbe offloe would work all night long ratber tban disappoint a customer. We have printed five hundred pages of briefs in tbe last two jj| * months. Noten of ChfckamanKA. Mr. Howard publishes a letter in the Atlanta Journal, wblcb we copy tblB week. It will be interesting to members of tbe 10th and I9th S. C. Regiment If we are not mis taken In tbe name Hatcher waB killed while standing on the left of tbe editor of tbe Press and Banner. He fell at the first fire In wblob the Regiment was engaged in tbe battle ol Cbickamauga. In tbe excitement of tbe battle we did not stop to make examination ol tbe body. At tbe time, we thought tbe top of bis bead was shot off by tbe rear rank man ol whom be was file leader, but we bave no corroborating evidence in this matter. He was killed Instantly. Tbe Regiment moved on, and we never saw bis body again. If we are not mistaken as to tbe man, be was young, stout and able bodied, red beaded and freckled faoed. Whether the Hatcher of whom Mr. Howard speaks, Is tbe same man of whom we speak we do not know, but we do know that such a man as we bave descrlb' ea iOSl D18 1110 at but; uiue BUftLCv*. vrui icwr lection Is, that his name was Bratcber, and not Hatcher. ? * ? Live Qaeittlon. The News and Courier Is still discussing the freedom of Cuba. It thinks the United States should send the island adrift, so to speak, as a derelict, to be picked up by any enterprising government that might wish to build a fort within gunshot range of our shores. We believe the Government at Washington has made up its mind wbat It will do, and that we might just as well accept the situation. The United States will never allow any foreign power^an opportunity to occupy the Island. Anybody knows that Cuba cannot build a navy and maintain a standing army. Cuba's interests will be advanced by annexation, and that will be the result, sooner or later. We, expect to live to see "The Gentleman from Cuba" in the Senate. Liet the Philippine Islands, Porto, and Cuba send ,\ their representatives to Congress. .McLnnrlD'n Enemlen to "KegInter." We see It stated that the News and Courier suggests the propriety or calling public meetings In the various counties when the people, hv r?Holutlon noluht "register" dlfiDloasure at McLaurin's Senatorial votes. We think If the News and Courier knew more of the sentiment ol the people, that paper would not make such a suggestion. II the people should "register" the News and Courier would be surprised at the "registration." We base this opinion upon two reasons : 1. Our confldenoe In the wisdom and good sense of the people to choose between the right and the wrong. 2. Because the act# of McLaurln are right and have the old-time Democratic precedent To Reduce the Acreage. ?'hls year that form of lunacy which affectf to govern the price of cotton by the reduction of the cotton acreage In South Carolina seems not to have taken a very rank bold on the minds of the people of this State. Ii South Carolina planted no cotton at all the fact would not be known In Liverpool, unlesf it was published In the newspapers. The three tailors who beaded their petition, "We the people of England," Ac., have been doln? duty for a long time. In tblB respect they are different from Harvie Jordan and others 01 bis class, who soon retire and are beard of nc more after crop planting time. * ALLEN MINSTREL " Is C?iuIuk?Everything New This Season.

I hSi Sari Story. 1 Not so lone ago a most excellent younf man was Rtricken downj wltb consumption In their anxiety for his welfare loving frlendi took him to] their home to nurse him bacfe : again to (health and strength. They watchec over him tenderly and.carefully?responded to his every want. They slept In the sam< room with him, and we have no doubt thai i the reader may guess the result, and we there fore leave memory lor loeir imagination. It is lamentable that people, eveu at thli day and time, fall to recognize the fact thai consumption Is Infectious. Many valuable r lives are unnecessarily sacrificed because 01 the lack of ordinary care. It is, we believe, i recognized fact, that no human being thai I walks the face of the earth, Is entirely ex empt from danger in coming in contact witt consumption. Smallpox is dreaded by all I and we shun the pest house as we would? calamity, but we familiarize ourselves wltt > consumption which, while being less conta ' gious, is nearly always fatal, while a large pei cent of small pox cases survive. Menofhlgb > vitality are not so apt to contract the disease but the fatigue and the lack of rest and the > want of sleep Incident to the care of aeon i sumptive, necessarily reduces the vitality oi . the attendant, and this lowering of the vita] 1 forces makes the subject an easy prey to the i disease which carries oft one-lourtb of the ' human family. Two of the brightest and the best youDg men of the community are said to be afflicted i as mentioned above. Their valuable lives are imperilled. The homes in which they live are ! Infected, and there Is danger where all should > be comfort and rest. t Until the people learn to realize that exposi ure and a low vitality are the causes of con sumption, our people will make tracks , straight to the grave. If you say that con sumption is inherited, we would say that we ! do not believe it. The children of consumptlves are more susceptible, and therefore exi posure to the disease Is more fatal to them than to those who are of stronger build. In caring for a consumptive the attend ant Ehould possess strong vitality. He should be nourished by an abnndance of the Knot Dtrnnoth.oivincr food, and If his annetlte be not good be should not expose himself to the most deadly of all the diseases. Under no circumstances should the strongest man Id the world sleep upon a bed whereon a con. eumptlve had lain. When the consumptive Is done with It, it should bestroyed by Are. E miter. Next Sunday is Easter, and cburcheR In town will celebrate the event by services appropriate to the greatest of all the religious festivals, namely: that which is commemorative of the death and resurrection of our Saviour. The day is celebrated In every part of the Christian world with great solemnity. It is the day when all men who acknowledge the Holy.Scriptures as belDg of divine origin must feel more or less of the devotional spirit. Even those of us who absent themselves from church for a year at the time should Join in the universal hymn on Easter. In the Associate Reformed church services will be held In commemoration of the sublime events in the history of our Saulour. The Episcopal church aud the Methodist cburob always have Easter services, and to which all are especlall invited. His Shoen?A'ot Hlf* Hat. ^About the cruellst expression that we have seen in any newspaper in reference to the "Senatorial", contest was ottered by the Yorfcvllle Enquirer in the following paragraph: "If some of those who are trylDg for Senator McLaurln's shoes would aspire to his hat instead, there would be a much better propect for an able and instructive campaign. Tbe number oi people wuo cau nu me ncuolor's eboes 1b almost countless. Tbe bat test would be ever so much better." Neighbor, let us not be disagreeable. The raising of questions about feet aud beads may be embarrassing. Let this contest be on the great principle, or Issue, Involved and let us have no personalities. All the candidates are good men, any one of whom, we presume, has a foot which would be acceptable. Invited Ont. The State has frequently Invited the supporters of McLaurln to quit the Democratic party. We do not know whether tbe opponents of McLaurln are afraid of results in tbe primary election, or whether The State is authorized to speak for the Democratic party. At present It seems that the dlscasslon of the question of freedom of thought and speech cannot be avoided. There can be no doubt that the Democratic party is very much divided, and there is less doubt that tbe people are disposed to act Independently of bosses. The prospects for an early peace In the Philippine Islands must be distressing to some of our esteemed contempararies. We offer condolence.

Roulstone. Believe* MeLaarin Wait Right. Bamberg Herald. Several newspapers In the State have Indulged In a good deal of gratuitous advice to i Senator McLaurln In regard to his recent action In not attending a caucus or Democratic Senators. He has been asked to resign by 1 these telf-appolnted guardians of Democracy, 1 some of whom know as much about whai , constitutes true Democratic) principles as a cattish knows abont the days or the week. ' For our part w'e believe Mcl aurin was right. 1 If he had gone Into a caucus he would , have been bound by Us action whether It suited him or not, and we commend him for his honesty and independence.

What if tbese measures were supported by the Republicans? Does this make it a crime to support them? To our mind the only question is: We must confess that we have not yet seen any convincing arguments against them. There has been a lot of clap> trap about party desertion, ship subsidy steal, etc., but we believe with old Ben Tillman: If there's going to be any stealing goi ingon.we want South Carolina to have her , share of the loot. r Mllford's Horse and Cattle Powders are the ' beet.

I Among the most impressive of Eastor I customs is that of foot washing, mou5 archs ami nobles performing the oflire | 1 for the poor ami unfortunate, ror ceil- I " turies in most European countries Thursday of hply week was observed in this [ way in commemoration of Clrist's act > when on the day before his crucifixion he j washed the feet of his disciples and bade ! them love one another. Thus up to the l time of King James II the king or queen . of England gathered together on Holy , Thursday a number of paupers, equal to the years of his nge, and washed and t anointed their feet with oil. Queen Elizi abeth, for instance, when in her thirty. ninth year washed the feet of 89 people, Even up to the present time the emperor i of Austria observes the old eustom, and in Rome the women of the nobility still , wait upon the poor in the same way. On . the same day the pope washes the feet of f 13 priests, who are dressed in white and I wear high white caps. Twelve of the priests represent the 12 apostles, while the thirteenth typifies an angel. After this ceremony is over ft meal is served in a large room over the portico of St. Peter's at which the holy father himself waits upon the guests. In Russia Easter is the one great festii val of the year. The Passage From Darkness to Light, the Opener of the . Gates of Paradise, the Sanctifier of the . Faithful, are a few of the names which , tlie llussians nave given to faster siin, day. On Saturday night all the churches , and chapels are crowded with people , dressed in new and bright clothes. There . are no seats in Ilussian churches, so everybody is obliged either to stand or kneel. A few minutes before midnight the service begins. After a solemn chant ( the priests lead the people in a procession | all about the church. Then, just at the , stroke of 12, it is announced from the al| tar that Christ is risen. At the word the , worshiper who stands nearest the officiating priest lights his candle from that carried by the latter. He in turij passes the , light on to the people about him, and in a few minutes the whole building is ablaze with lights. Then is exchanged the Easter kiss, which is the most unique of Easter customs in Russia. The whole congregation passes by the priest, each kissing him three times, once on the forehead and on either cheek, and being kissed in return. The exchange of kisses followed by presents of Easter eggs, is almost universal among all classes of Russians. In the boys' schools all the pupils are saluted by the head master. Friends and relations kiss each other on the streets, and the Easter lily takes the place of the mistletoe among the peasants. All along the sides of the street on Easter night saucers containing a lighted wick and filled with melted tallow are placed to light the way of Easter revelers. In the mountain heights of the Austrian Tyrol bands of musicians wander about on Easter eve, climbing from valley to valley and stopping before every farmhouse to sing the Easter carols. The singers wear bright colored garments, and their wide brimmed hats are festooned with flowers and ribbo.ts. As it grows dusk they are joined by bands of children who carry flaring torches and escort the minstrels from house to house. The children also carry baskets, which are filled with Easter eggs at each farmhouse. At the homes of those who are well off wine and other refreshments are also set before the Easter singers. On the island of Amorgos, which is the outlying island in the territory of Greece, the Easter celebration centers about the three sacred silver icons which are kept in a wonderful monastery. In days long gone by the people in England and the clergy used to play together at ball inside the churches for prizes of tansy cakes, and within recent times it has been the custom for the clerk in some parishes to go about on Easter day distributing small white cakes among the parishioners, receiving money in return. In the old English town of Chester the practice of lifting was once carried on in v a much more elegant manner than prevailed elsewhere. The gay gallants of the 2 town started out in the morning of Eas- v ter Monday, carrying with them a throne C or chair covered with white silk and trimmed with streamers and festoons of flowers. It was their privilege to force every V pretty girl they met to take a seat in the * throne and then be carried along on the " shoulders of the revelers until she was v willing to pay a forfeit of a kiss to each * of the men who had made her captive.? t Chicago Tribune. E Easter In the New Century. In the century just begun there will be b 5,217 Sundays. In that which we have hardly yet learned to speak of as the \ last Easter Sunday has occurred once g on its earliest possible date, March 22, 1818; but this will not recur till the v twenty-third century. The earliest Eas- u ter in the new century will be March 23, c 1913. Easter Sunday will fall once on ? its latest day, April 25, in 1943. This a also occurred ouce in the century just 1 passed?in 1SGG. Ascension day is practi- t cally always in May, but on three occa- u Bions in the past century it occurred in June, and in the new century this will ? happen four times. fl V THE RISEN CHRIST. r CHRIST 1b risen!
