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

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. - - “

Our People Are Speaking
Reports from county conventions
"ver the state indicate that the
large majority have expressed their
-trong opposition to tne National
Democratic parly and policies. 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. WY* will not "desert our cher
ished Southern principles and tradi-
• tions as exemplified by Jefferson,
Cleveland, Wade Hampton, Woodrow
Wilson and others. The candidates

bandwagon, knowing what he stands
