Last Sunday was Easter and many of out people observed the day as becomes devoul Christians In service that Is commemorative of tbe resurrection of our Saviour. The day Is tbe most Important festival In tbe rellgloui calendar. Under whatever sky the name 11 our Redeemer Is known Easter Is observed with a devotion that commemorates the greatest event in tbe religious world. Flowers are closely allied with all tbat li pure and swiet. Their presence and tbeli sweet odor are an inspiration for tbe pure It vmort without them we could scarcely b( worshippers of Him who likened himself t< the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley All the world loves flowers, and thfy ar< comforters under all circumstances. Whet oar eyes are first opened to the world, floweri are there to greet our coming. Inthelnno cence and the joyousness of childhood thi eye Is bright* ned and the heart is made bap pier by the sight of flowers. When we are a the bridal altar, flowers Impress their beaut; and their loveliness. Adoring hearts that ar henceforth to be as one in the great strogsl of life are made happier by their presence In sickness these same refined and elevatlni Influences of the choicest product of Natur go far to dispel the gloom. While polntlni our hearls in gratitude to the Giver of ever; good and perfect gift, we are reminded of (u loving Saviour. And when the weary o tired aoul has left Its tenement of clay, flow ers note our going and cover our coffin. The; follow to the church, and when the dead ha been laid away flowers cover the new mad mound, and for a time they keep silent watcl over the saered dust. In view of all these facts. It is impossible ti separate tbem from our holy religion. Ou Saviour set. us an example In love for fl >wm and It Is but natural that devout womei should bring tbe most lovely upeclmens c nature's creation to adorn tbe temple wblcl had been erected and dedicated to tbe wor ship of blm who to often spoke of his admirs tion of the flowers. The pure In beaft always love flowers, am our devout women wouid do violence to thel better nature, If they did not associate fl iw ers with tbe Ule, the character, tbe heart, am tbe whole being of our blessed Saviour. Tbe devotion of our Christian women wa shown forth in all Its glory last Sunday. Va rious of our cburcbes bad a wo ld of tbi sweetest and the prettiest flowers topreaol their silent but effective sermons. All of our churches were open on Easier and a fuller attendance of brethren than li usual on other days, was present. Some o our adorable women ccme primarily to glv< their Easter bats and their new made dressei an airing, but when in the holy ataiosphen all become devout worshippers, and J jlned Id rendering thanks for the manlfo'd blesblngt that bad come to tbem. The Easter bats were simply stunning, but not out of sight. We could no more describe tbem than we couki portjay the beauty ol the laces under them. If we could, it would be a sin to express our adoration for the adoiable hearts of tbe wearers of full blown Easter hats, to which we hope no chilling frost may ever come. The music In all tbe churches was simply most delightful. Tbe choirs bad practiced on * choice pieces, and sweeter music had not been w heard since the morning stars sang together. Tbe choir of sweet singers from Due We6t waked echoes in tbe old walls of tbe A. R. P. church. Dr. S. A. Widtman nnd Bride Visit Due H>8t. Dr. S A. Wideman, of "Woodruff, Spartanburg Co., with his bride, spent several da\e with his father, Dr. J. \V. Wldeman latt week. Dr. Wldeman, handsome at all times, and always In the best of spirits, was the picture of manliness and contentment. Dr. Wldcman's people ere of the oldest as well as of the most prominent people ol Abbeville county. His people came to this country more tban one hundred and forty years ago, and they are of the number 01 those substantial citizens who have been the backbone of the progress of the country. Xbe bride, formerly Miss Bomar of Spartanburg, also comcs of the best peopleol that county; best in tbe truest sense of possessing tbose virtues wblch make for the blgbett type of citizenship. Mrs. Wldeman is tall, and of most striking appearance. The bride and grcom were informally (n tertained at the heme of Dr. J. W. Wldeman loot tpaaIt IhoHv In onnvorcnllnn on/1 of. tractive In all the graces, 6be esslly won tbe hearts ol her newly made relatives. j I Cars at Dae West. \ / The cars do not run on Sunday over tbe ^ Due West and Donalds road, but public sentiment Is moving forward. Sixty years ago good people of that town didn't want a railroad nearer than Donalds. Tbe world, like the sun does move. We notice too that there is a law of the town against pleasure riding over the stnets of that town on Sundays. The church paper suggests that the next man who runs an automobile through tbe street* of tbat town on Sunday be "pulled" by th* town marshal. When aut< mobiles flret began to run on our streets, passengers couldnt count tbe heads of citizens that peered through every window. We have gotten u*ed to them now. We don't pay more attention to an auto than we do to the [ car that come and go or which pass by. On Sundav great numbers of vehicles are now seen on our streets. It didu't use to !?e so In Abbeville, but since we have been looking after the religion of tbe Mexicans our own rellglOD has deteriorated. If our good friends at DueWest don't keep their weather eye on their own religion they, too, may become careless Can It be tbat any Impious wretch id (his section has Invaded the vicinity of the Btreets of L)ue West on the Sabbath? If so lot blm take warning hereafter, lie bl6 automobile off the road at CowanV Creek and walk Into the city with folded bands atd bowed head. Glad ttiat lie iN Xot in tieoricia. This editor Is glad that he does not live Id Georgia, where one of the worst men on earth must be elected Governor. From published accounts there is no escape from such a resuit. Jo Brown Is said to be a bad man, and his friends 6ay that Hoke Smith Is not an angel, but a very well devtljped sort of bad man. Thos. W. Cot bran, of Raleigh, N. C., thinks the dismissed boys from Clsmson should be; re-Instated at once. He thinks the Inflicted1 penalty too savere. ? ?i -? ^ ? Mr. Benjamin T. Miller, a native of this county and now a good newspaper man 01 Greenville, came to town last week, and made a pleasant call at this office.

The editor of the Press and Banner, ape Ing for himself: Our much respected contemporary, Newberry Observer, seemed to be "on sorts" last week when dlsouselng the wl Ing-up commission of the State dtspeas We are always sorry to see ao good an edl a* Mr. Wallace Is, writing In the spirit wt characterized the article of whieh we sp< The fact Is, the Cbserver showed so m feellLg, that Is was possible for him no be fair. As far as we recollect nobody has oeriBi the commission for defenditg.State's rig And we know of no reason why Ju Prltchard's commissioners should be cen ed. As we see It, they are all equally g men. The settlement of the legality of Jo Prltchard's action In the matter is in Courts, and It la fair to presume that Judges of the Federal Court will do their d as they see it, without reference to spit remarks of aDy newspape*. We think the Observer is in error whei speaks of "some subsidized newspaper." know quite a number of newspapers in State, and we have no suspicion that any of our acquaintance is "subsidized," We ileve the newspapers of this State are s clently honest to be above the susploloi being 'subsidized." Speaking for this editor about State's rig We do not believe that the Statu of Sc Carolina has any more right to be dlshoi J than has any other corporation. Wheni . the Stale of Sooth Carolina refuses to adj , oate her owe contests by the ordinary m ods for settling disputes, and when she i her power instead of J astloe, law, and eqi to decide mailers In her own favor, then are opposed to State's rights. We are as m opposed to dishonesty by the State as we to dishonesty by individuals or corporate , We are opposed to the Slate exercising corporate power to defeat and crush out rights of a defenseless Individual. We think the State of South Carol shoo Id stand before the Courts exactly a other corporations. Might can never t the place of right. For Instance: If an Individual should bi a dike to keep the fliod water of a swo stream off of bis low lying lands, at neighboring oltlzaos should object to bai tbe surplus water thus diverted from natural course and turned on to their lai would our respeoted brother keep the lnjc neighbors out of Court? If he would nol so, why should tbe State assert tbe rlgb disregard tbe olalm of tbe Injured cilia State's rlgbts In this Instanoe would merely tbe State's right to do a wrong, w out Incurring liability. Tbe State of Houth Carolina, like any ot corporation, should be held responsible tbeaots of Its agents. For Instance: Wl the great Slate of Soutb Carolina, gets do from Its high pedestal, and goes Into money markets to borrow money fron citizen It should have no more rlgbt to rei diate that debt than has an Individual repudiate his debt. By what method of i sonlng can a State Justify exercising *? thu rnvmnnt ot a debt? The State In the exerolse of Its legltlm power took charge of the liquor business this State some fifteen years ago. The exp meat was a new one, and the business \ not safe-guarded at It Bhoald have be 1 Gaps for temptation were left open. 1 years obarges of wrong doing were In the s Toe Legislature knew of It, but took little no notice.

It bas been said that ( this there is honesty among thieves. < one Tbe State ol South Carolina having ratified i i be- the graft by which It made tbou ands and < nffi- thousands of dollars, has no sort of right in i a of eqniiy either to punish or to rob Its partners. In view of these facts I do not believe tbe c tits: State can prove that it bas been wronged, ex- i iuth oept when it more than made Itself whole In t est adding snob prices as made the rascality { svar more profitable to tbe 8tate than to tbe lndl- t udi* vldnal. And we do not believe that twelve t etb- bontst Jurors can be fonnd to saddle tbe | ases blame on tbe citizen because of crime for [ alty which the State Itself Is primarily responslwe ble, and out of which crime the State made t nch Immense sums of money. t are But the non-settlement of the Stale's debts job. for liquor is not its worst aot. Before tbe Its war, tbe State of South Cirollna undertook tbe the building of a magnificent 8tate bouse in Columbia. Bonds were sold to raise tbe UDA money. Tbe Legislature since 1876 repudlatBdo ed fifty per cent of tbe face value of these f ako bonds and forced holders to take new bonds in half tbe amount. Does anybody I jltd believe that tbe State of Soutb Carolina bad a lieu legal or a moral right to rob tbe widows and t id if orphans, or tbe ownero of those bonds? It r ring certainly bad no right, except the r'ght whlob * Uh oonscenceless power gives. da, Before the war the Legislature went sure- t ired ty for tbe Spartanburg and Uulon railroad 1 do bond'. The State also went surety for Blue r t to IUdge railroad bonds. t :en? The Legislature Issued "bills receivable" be and paid ofTor compromlied her obligations 1th- Jo those bills. Tbe Courts afterward declared the bills unconstitutional and worthless, her Suob a course may be bonett and honorable, i for but no citizen has tbe right to repudiate his 0 a3r note. The right of might, Is the only right, r ,'.ic and we hope how soon suoh right may be tbe. taken away from Soutb Carolina. r a a The Bute of Soutb Carolina In Radical pu_ times, through its lawful offloers, borrowed p [ to from one Wesley in New York 1300,000.

We do not believe In tbat sort of Stated lghls which would allow tbe commonwealth o take either tbe citizen's money or bit property, without reimbursing blm. The State has no right to rob theclt'zen. Tbe State has no right as a great big bull.v o go Into partnership with a weakling, and ifter tbe robbery bas been effected, to take ill the profits to Itself and for Its own use ind then assume a degree of virtue tbat It* >ast acts would not warrant.
