A New York Advertising agency sends us
an advertisement OF the Perkins Manufactur-
Ing Co., offering US IS year, less twenty-five
per cent, to publish their advertisement and
to send copy Of our paper during the time.
Let US look at it. Sl.25 commission off OF 50
leaves S3.75. Now, take of s.. the price OF q
81 rs to do six dollars worth of advertising.
In times past we have given the agents of the
Perkins Manufacturing Co., our orders for
any little trifies that we may have needed,
and now the agency dodge is tried in return.
II is no doubt fact that some Of the papers
may be willing to accept the Perkins Manu-.
featuring Company's advertisement at the
rate offered. but 1t will not appear in the
Press and Banner at that rate, nor at any 9TH
er fair rate from which we must deduct twen-
ty-f1ve per cent. Other newspapers may do as
they please, but we will fill the space with
reading matter rather than crowd our ad-
vertising space tor one third Of fair price

Let the Bells Ring.

It has been arranged that at 9 o'clock on the
morning of the 30th instant the church bells
are TO be rung from every spire in the land, to
celebrate the event of one hundred years ago,
when Washington took the oath as President
OF the United States. on which day the bells
in the "original thirteen" States rang out to
call the people 10 prayer for divine favor and
blessings upon the country and its ruler. The
Goth is also national nksgiving day. So.
we say, let the bells ring! Carolina is one of
the "thirteen." Her Marion, Moultrie, SUMTER
fought to frame the Union Of which Washing
ton, q Virginian, was the first President. We.
need have no doubt or misgivings as to the
proprlety Of our people taking part in this
and other national celebrations because OF
the slate unpleasantness." Let the bells
ring!

Easter Sunday.

Easter was observed in Abbeville In the
Episcopal and Methodist churches last sun
day by services commemorative or the he
surrection. The decorations were unusually
fine. On entering the Episcopal church a
scene of rare loveliness greeted the eye.
The lofty arches, the welli wrought pillars
entwined with evergreen were sublime. On
either side the large gothic windows were
draped with ivy, and their recesses filled with
moss and wild flowers. The white walls were
gracefully draped with "ivy green"
The chancel railing was beautifully en-
twined with evergreen, made brilliant with
roses and bright hued geraniums. Lovely
little swinging Jars of rare plants hung here
and there, which emitted n delicious perfume,
and presented gay and festive scene. Gala
and Easter lilies were in profnsion: on the
left of the altar was motto. "Chrlst our
passover and suspended beneath was snow
white cross of snow balls. On the right was
q motto "ChrIst Is risen" and beneath love
ly crown of wild violets and evergreen. Just
back of the altar was beautiful flower
wreathed marble cross. with the monogram
"I. H. ST." U have sufferedo The effect was
beautiful, and will be remembered as one OIL
the prettiest decorations.
The Methodist church also was beautifully
decorated and it really seemed rs If all the
flowers had gathered together to rejoice over
the risen Saviour.

To Sister Annie.

Nine nd thirty years have fled,
Since life to you was given,
In childhood days, that one who led
Is done with earth, She's now In Heaven
Soon years score, passed quickly on.
Lies tolls and cares came fast,
Those happy days, then yours now gone,
Will still, In memory last.
When death with cruel hands did tear
A mother from her home,
That mothers place you filled with care,
Her babies now your own.
With ready hands and loving heart,
Those tender babes did shield,
Unwearily you did your part,
Which will harvest yield.
Those years you spent In deeds Of love,
No time can ere efface,
Oftimes they come like Noahs dove,
And fill your heart with peace.
Tis sweet to think of children dear
You oftimes made SO glad,
Each little life you kept from care,
While your own life was sad.
For trials oft come to you now,
Your health no more, is good,
But at Gods will, you meekly bow,
Still murmuring not, you stood.
II could only, would make
The brightest days to dawn,
| wonld from You all sorrow take,
And make one glorious morn.
When Jesus with his power of love,
Shall send for you to come,
Oh may you fly like Il weary dove,
And rest with him, ut home.

The Substitute Will Not DO.
augusta Chronicle.

The business men OF Savannah take much
the same view Of the bagging problem that
Augusta merchants do. They do not think
the jute trust.will be maintained this season,
nor do they believe that cotton bngglng
would make desirable substitute. In the
first place, the cost is too great. Mr.. H. NJ.
CONFER, q large cotton merchant of Savannah,
and very practical man, declares that until
jute bagging gets to be 10 or ~ cents per
pound, II is nonsense to talk about using cot
ton baggng when raw cotton is worth or 0
cents per pound, to which must be added the
cost OF manufacture and waste. He says the
cotton bagging is not practical cover for the
cotton, and cannot stand rough usage, such as
cotton must be subjected to In transit.
