Our Thirty.Third Anniversary.

This is the editors thirty-third anniversary
in the Press and Banner office.
On the first day of April, 1850, while he was
yeta minor, he bought an interest in the o.
flee, with which he has been connected ever
since.
Our debt of gratitude to generous ana Ior-
giving public grows with the increasing years.
and as time rolls on we are more and more
impressed with the great responsibility which
is assumed when the field of journalism Is en-
tered.
AS moral factor the influence Of proper
ly conducted secular newspaper Is second l."
none other, and as a diSseminator OF Chris-
tlan truths the efforts Of all the preachers ID
town pale their intellectual fires before the
greater light of the printing press.
AS an educator Of the children and aS an IN
structor of the people, the laborS OF the teach
er and the orator are overshadowed.
AS disseminatpr OF news II has no equal.
In instilling good principles and In forming
good character, and in appealing To the re;'-
son of the peop e. all other means are as moth
ing.
In moving the people To higher amollionS
and nobler purposes II has no equal.
Asa teacher of morals its influence is only
exceeded by the prayers and preceptS, 10y the
holy life and the exemplary conduct Of our
Christian mothers.
And he who assumes control of the print
ing press should have as high impulscsand as
worthy motives as he who ministers from the
sacred desk, and his utterances should be not
less pure than we hear from the pulpit itself.
1t is not for this editor to say how much we
may have fallen below the high standards.
but e can truly and sincerely thank the pub
lie for their support and continued confidence
through all these years.

The March Convention.

Under the recent call of the Thirteen DEM
ocrats the March Convention met last Thurs
day In Columbia.
Except two countless in the low country,
every county in the state was represented.
About 272 delegates were present.
The conservative, harmonious and patriotic
action OF the convention disappointed alike
friends and opponents, and their strength
and determination was a revelation to every
body.
The two wings which opposed the re-elec-
ton of Governor Tilman came together in
perfect union and organized as harmonious
whole with singleneSs OF purpose.
Without exception the followers of Haskell
heartily joined the Conservatives, IN their cf-
fort to restore peace to the people, and they
will henceforth as a united whole, labor to in
spire in the public mind II just confidence in
the credit of the State.
The respectful manner and the courteous
tone of the speeches delivered in the conven-
tion should be followed in the campaign.
Civility and appeals TO the reason and COM
mon sense Of the people will win more votes
than any foolish exhibition Of lack of re-
spect for them, and show OF contempt for
the man in whose lead they have been fol-.
lowing will do nothing to advance any
cause.
The people are generally willing to hear ar
gument, and when facts-not vituperatlon-
are presented they will listen and their fu
ture acts will be governed by their reason and
not by their passion.
Let him then who thinks his cause Is just,
appeal to the good hard sense OF the people.
and they will be sure 10 give true verd let
according to the evidence.
But for him whose cause Is not on a solid
foundation, there is no other hope for success
than appeal to passion and prejudice with
resort to the artful misinterpretatIon of act
ual facts.
The trees of the forest are swayed by the
storm, but they soon right themselves and re-
sumo their normal position So the people
may at times be governed by wave of
passion, but eason is surse to assert itself,
and the people are sure to resume their sense
Of right and wrong.
1t Is to be hoped that the good work may go
on In peace, and that no chickering's or AMI
mosIties may exist.

Two Feet Of Pain!
Pain is not usually measured by the
foot, yet it is fact that the untor-
tunates who sufIer the miseries
OF aching feet endure an
inch of torture to every
square inch OF foot

Pain of any kind causes strnin upon
the nervous system, and II prolonged
and unchecked will create depressi on
of spirits and dependency.
Aching feet are vexatious, aggravat
ing and irritating, and nothing Is
more a nnoying than feet encased and
distorted in ill-iitting shoes. We know
that many people suffer these pains
believing that there is no remedy. We
want to correct this false conclusion.
