C- THURSDAY, APRIL 6. 1950 What Easter Means Of all religious celebrations Easter is the most inspiring because it 'lands as'a sacred commemoration of ihe resurrection of Christ followng the dark days of His crucifixion and burial. His resurrection came as a say they oppose FEPC, segregation, socialism,-reckless spending and an unbalanced budget, but they will go along with Mr. Truman and his _ party You can’t ride two horses at new light into the world, proclaim-j the same time. mg, the deathlessness oh ChrlsTianity. ] lVs time to stand for Jeffersonian lor—should be repudiated.

For as yet they knew not ( the scrip ture that he must rise again from the dead. • - . * Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. — But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping; and^as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre. And seeth two angels in white sit ting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her: Woman, | why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away I my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus I standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. ) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why j weepest thou? whom seekest thou? ! She, supposing him to be the gard- |ener, saith unto him. Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, i Rabboni; which is to say, Master, j Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to by brethern,! my Father, and your Father; and! to my God and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. - - “ Tiie tr’umpn of Christ over the principles rather than urave tells that He did not die on hand-outs, patronage and pressure.

A re- entment similar to that oi two years ago waa m evidence in many coun- t.es This means, we think, that the majority of the South Carolina Democrats want to see'a determined tight against Truman and his nation- al party. More resentment will expressed at the state convention The Laurens county convention Monday took a firm stand favoring States’ Rights. It refused to swallow the socialistic Truman policies as shown in the election of officers and state delegates. That convention, we are sure, is an accurate expression ot the majority of voters of our county and in other counties. States' Righters by the Truman- crats are called “Bolters.” The accu sation is untrue. Those who line-up on this side *are members of the South Carolina Democratic party. The Trumancrats are the ones who bolted and ran out of the party. They tell us we should stay in the national party and, settle our differences i among ourselves. They want har- ■ mony, sure they do, for they are in terested in the re-election of certain groups.
