"Rubber" Rose, a negro living in
thia city, was Monday arrested and
given a preliminary on the charge
of selling whiskey. It seems that
. Rose sold some whiskey to two
young men by the name of Pack
from the T'lnewood section and. they
allege, he did not give them the
proper change, his arrest being the
result of the controversy. The ease
came up before Magistrate Wells
Monday nnd after hearing the evi
dence he decided that it should go
up to the higher court for trial.
Rose was -thorefor? held for trial
at the next term of the court of
General Sessions. ? Sumter Item.
Rose has probably served more
different sentences on the gangs t>f
Kershaw county than any other
criminal, and bids fair to do duty
, on Samter County roads.

All the world over Eaater U a
fteason of great rejoicing, at* every
thing begins to cast off dlnglneM
of winter und nature herself exhib
its the upirlt of resurrection .
The Waaler festival of our fore
fathers covers u period of fifteen
OayH. The week beginning with Eas
ter Huuday waa almoat entirely giv
en over to uport and guinea and gen
era! merry-making.
Easter l? a moveable festival. It
la a|wuy? the flrat Huuday after the
full moon which happen* upon or
next after the twenty-flrat day of
March; and if the full moon hap
pona upon a Sunday, Easter day ia
the Sunday following.
The aacred featlval of Easter has
been appropriately termed "the
queen of featlvala." It haa been ob
aerved from the foundation of the
Christian religion, and Is celebrated
in every part of the- Christian unl
verae with great aolemuity and devo
tlon.
There are many auperatitloua con
nected with Easter Huuday which
are significant of the season, and
are almoat as imperative as lawB.
One of theae ia the necessity of
having something new to wear on
thl? day in order to inaure happi
ness for the coming year. Hence
the Waaler bonnet.
Palestine, the apot where the res
urrection we commemorate took
place, 1h supremely emblematic of
the aeaaon, because there the spring
suddenly bursts forth and all the
verdure and flowers spring up aa
though a magic wand had been wav
ed over the land, for the excessive
drearincHB of winter Ih broken in
the orient when It Ih still winter in
western lands.
Of all the holidays of the year,
Christmas and Easter stand more
prominently on the page of history
than any others. Throughout all
the initiations and vicissitudes that
have entered into the world's histo
ry during the past two thousand
years, the two festivals that com
memorate respectively the birth arid
the resurrection of the Man of Naz
areth still shine with a luster that
remains uufaded after a lap&e of
twenty centuries.
While Easrt'r reminds us of the
resurrection, .it may benefit us to
call fresh to memory a few facts
regarding the burial of the Son of
Cod. Joseph was that day, mourn
1 r, sexton, livery man. Had the en
tire charge of the whole occasion.
Only four people attended the bur
ial of the King of the Universe.
Let this be consolatory to those
who through small means or lack
of large acquaintance, have but lit
tle demonstration of grief at the
grave of their dead. It is not ne
cessary, A Ihng line of glittering
ctjuipages, two rows of silver han
dles, casket of costly wood, pall
bearers, scarfed and gloved, are
not neeessary.
Master in Athens,
The story of the resurrection is
told a i Athens amid a blaze of sil
ver and gold. Kor some time be
fore Kaste>\ Athens wears a pictur
esque aspect. This is due in great
part to the number of shepherds,
who( with their flocks, have come
down from the mountains and are
camped in every available open
space. engaged in selling their
lambs. There is no family so poor
as not to break the long lenten
fast with an Easter latnb, the val
ue of which is about a dollar, and
a veritable massacre of the inno
cents is going on. It is late on
Saturday night that the real Eas
t 'T celebration takes place.
An immense crowd fills all the
approaches to the cathedral and
such parts of the church as are
-HDL, kept clear. Without, a raised
platform has been erected and (!er^
orated with evergreens.
In the cathedral the royal prin
cess. the ministers of 'state and the
high functlonairies of the kingdom
assemble to attend the mid-night
services. As the hour of mid-night
approaches, the metropolitan with
his assistants, preceded by the
cross and banners, advance with
lighted tapers. The various notabil
ities light their tapers from that of
the arch bishop, and so the sacred
fire is communicated to the crowd.
As the midnight hour pounds and
Easter succeeds tho last day of lent,
[the metropolitan, a blaze of silver
and gold with his tiara, the silver
[ gospel, and the episcopal crozler, as
cends the platform outside the
church and proclaims to the as
sembled people tho tidings, "Christ
has risen."
Raster Plant
4 Tho Christian legends connected
with plants generally explain their
behavior during Passion week. The
aspen still shivers with remorse be
cause . when Christ passed, it had
boldly faced the heavens instead
of bowing Its head In company with
tho othur tree*. The Savior cum
one look on It and the memory of
that sorrowful glance Us handed
down even to this generation.
The willow w as used for the
scourges and ever siuce It has
drooped Uh arms in misery. The

the tree upon which Judas hanged
himself and it is not even to be
touched as firewood. However, It
affords a nafo refuge iu a storm' ?
for not even lightning will deign
to strike It. A fungus that grows
on the elder and Is now kuown as

The wood Borrel was standing at
the foot of the cross and received
some drops of the precious blood.
These she still carrier. The Ital

Mr. Jasper N. Owens, of Blairs,

Last Wednesday afternoon at one
o'clock the death angel visited the
home' of Mr. Helton Owens and j
<ta)mly, but sadly bore away the
spirit of Mr. ^Isaac Owens. Mr.
Owens had been in failing health
for some time, but not seriously
ill until a week previous to his
death. He had lived to be an aged
man ho being eighty-three years,
seven months and seven days,
leaves a widow, one brother, ihree
sons and two daughters, a number
of grand and great-grand children
and a host of friends to mourn his
loss. He was a member of Swift
Creek Baptist church. The funeral
services were held at Flint Hill
church, and amid a large crowd of
borrowing friends and relatives he
was laid to rest at the old family
burying ground about thirteen miles
above Camden. 'Tis indeed always
sad to give up a loved one, know
ing th.it his or her place can never
be filled, yes there's always a va
cant chair, a vacancy in the home,
but remember, dear friends, that
tho' we loved him, God loved him
he?t and took him to rest. Hp is
watching and waiting to welcome
each one of you in the blest forev

forgotten. His memories ever are
| present with us. We know he can
! not come back to us, but we can go
to hinr^ blessed thought ft Is to
know "We shall know as we are
known." Cheer up now sad hearts
and look for the sunlight.
"There's a day of sunny rest,
Ff>r every dark and troubled night,
And grief may hide an evening
guest ,
Hut joy will come with early light.
And thou, who o'er ihy friend's low
bier
i Sheddcst the bitter drops like rain,
J Hope that a brighter, happier sphero
| Will ;,rive him to thy arms again."

be remembered Sadie and Ernest
Moody were indicted at the last
term of court for shooting Burwell
Bowen last October. The indict
ment charged assault and battery,
but in our report of the court pro
ceedings tho count read "house
breaking and larceny." The error
was made in copying from the court
records. Tho young meft do not
llko the idea of being charged with
larceny and we gladly make the cor
rection. -
