Easier Nundiiy.
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.

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?

In view of these facts I do not believe tbe c

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

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"

the bills unconstitutional and worthless,

i for but no citizen has tbe right to repudiate his 0

The State has no right to rob theclt'zen.

Tbe present long delay at Hodges had be- [
ome a nuisance, and our people were ready to '
egistera vigorous kick, when Mayor McMi:in
asked the people to be patient until the ,
allroad authorities could be beard from.
Wblle the people of Abbeville will be j

ave been better pleased If tbey could bave '

There are some things which we do not unerstand,
and one of these things is tbe ne- t
isslty for any wait at all. To a plain layman I
Is not clear wby tbe trains should not meet '
t Hodges, when everybody hereabout would j
a happy. c
It Is to be hoped that thirty five or forty j
ilnutes waste time at Hodges may be re- c
need to a minimum. c
Our people have been good customers ol the J|

moderation and accommodation.
We should not be put to the trouble and an- 0
