Furniture Polish.

There is a simple mixture of kerosene
and linseed oil, two parts of kerosene
to one of linseed oil, which makes the
best furniture polish that has come to
my notice. This should only be mixed
a little at time. Some use turpentine;
but this is not nearly so trustworthy,
as it will dull instead of brighten the
polish in time. After the piece of
furniture to be treated has been we'll
busted, take soft piece of flannel, and
dip it in the preparation; rub small
surface of woodwork, and then take
another small surface, allowing the
first to stand while this is being done;
then take a clean flannel, and rub
until the polish shines to suit you.
This will leave polish brilliant and
beautiful. If this polish takes place
occasionally, the furniture may be
kept locking like new for an almost
indefinite time; indeed, I might say
indefinitely, if it is all of wood. Be
sure the rags are absolutely clean and
free from dust; the same ones may be
used, and washed to use again as long
as they last.
When there are upholstered cush-
ions on the chairs or other furniture,
then rub rapidly with flannel wet
with gasoline. There must be no fire
in the room during this process, and not
even a match struck in 1t until the
odor has evaporated; it will be best to
set such pieces out of doors to clean
them, If possible.

McMahan's Plans Defeated.

The plans or suggestions of the State Super
intendent OF Education in reference to the
schools was very properly defeated. AS we
understand, he proposed 70 make the schools
q "huckleberry over the common peoples
persimmon."
1t Is idle to say that educated men are bet.
ter able to select teachers than are the people
themselves. That could be said about all the
officers of the State. or the nation, for that
matter. But to cay that. is to lead away from
the subject. 1t Is not the question of the
best. 1t is the choice Of the people that ia
needed. The best teacher in the world, like
the best preacher, might not be suited for
every community. What the people want is
the proper thing. II their standards are not
high enough, then educate them up to the
proper measure. Don't deprive them Of their
rights to vote for whom they please.
II selfconstituted guardians of the people
may deprive the people Of the right to vote
for one officer they may be deprived of the
right to vote for others. If the citizen can
vote for Legislator, Senator, Governor, Presi.
Dental Elector. we see no good reason why be
should not vote for school officers. II they
are not competent to vote for school officers
then educate them, or else take the ballot out
of their hands, 80 that they may make no
sort Of claims to citizenship.

Mutual Life Insurance.

While we have conscientious scruples about
publishing life insurance advertisements. we
admit such an ad this week.
Being opposed to life insurance in all its
various forms and phases we have thought
that it matters little to which company a
man contributes his money, and for this
reason the advertisement appears. This
company being Southern Company may ap-
peal to some Of our citizens above others
of foreign origin. Patriotic Southerners may
therefore prefer this Company. Various Of
our prominent and we'll known citizens have
assumed sponsorship for the State Mutual
Annuity Life Association, and 1t might
be presumptuous In US to even discuss the
merits or demerits Of this company. 1t would
be liberal or generous to say that the insurer
will probably gain as much and lose as little
by going into this company as into any other.
IT, therefore, you are determined to com.
NIT an act which we think is foolish and un
lust to yourself and. your family, we COM
mend you to the State Mutual Life and
Annuity Association. We express this pref.
erence for four good and sufficient reasons:
1st. They do business with the Press and
Banner.
2d. 1t is Southern Institution.
Sd. Their plan of allowing man to see the
color Of their money before he enters the
pearly gates is consideration.
4. You may lose no more by going into this
company than into others.
Their tabulated statement will explain how
they have succeeded and show you where the
money goes. and the certificates of distin.
guished citizens show what they think.

WEDDING BELLS.
Fragrant Flowers and Loving Hearts
Marriage of Miss Bessie Kennedy
and MIR. Edwin Parker.

Scarcely have the echoes OF Christmas
chimes died away and the air is hlled Win
the notes Of wedding bells. On Wedpesday'
nedy occurred one of the prettiest weddings
of the season. when Miss Bessie Kennedy be-.
came the wife of Mr.. Edwin Parker.
The house was profusely decorated Wild
cedars and magnolia leaves. the glossy sur.
faces OF the latter rejecting the yellow glow
of artificial lights.
The guests gathered in the parlor where
pink ribbons drawn across the room 1ormeo

err side Of the room they were met by the
groom and the best man, Mr.. boWie' OF Aooe-

ed the young couple upon the subject OF
matrimony lis duties and obligations.
After the congratulations bad been odered
the guests repaired to the dining room Where
the wedding feast was spread. Festoons Of
pink ribbon, entwined with smilax, reached
from a central lamp to the four corners OF q
long table, which beneath the lamp ana over
the "bride's cake," swung tiny wedding
bell.
The bride was lovely In gown Of shimmery
white SILK trimmed with passementine, pearl
trimming and crepe de chine. IN loia OF
the latter rested an exquisite cameo oroach,
in front with a crescent of pearls and held In
place around the coil OF hair by a tiny gold
chain with fleue de lis pendants set IN pearls
The bridal boquet WAS OF Wnite hyacihths
and maiden hair ferns.
The maid OF honor wore lavender organole
trimmed with heliotrope, deep iace an9
rhinestone buckles. She carried violets and
maiden hair ferns. Miss jamie came nome
from Due West TO attend her sister. and all
felt that her beauty and sweetness Of manner
added much to the joyous occasion.
Mrs. Kennedy. the BRIDES mother, was
tastefully dressed In black with Just a touch
OF lavender.
The groom's mother, Mrsi Parker. wore
black silk.
Mrs. Wardlaw, the brides grandmother,
looked we'll in black dressed, trimmed with

teem in which they are held by their large

Pleasant Words.

The Press and Banner Of late has been the
none have we received words Of higher praise
than from the Rev. Alexander Spruntt. For
one of his high character and his high stand
ing in Church and State to utter such words
is grateful indeed. The last issue Of The Wit
ness contained the following:
"This being the last issue Of this paper, az
may be noticed elsewhere. we cannot ear
adding q word of appreciation for our pub
hsr who Tshy H. has
sued by The Press and Banner, OF bbeville,
g. c., Hugh Wilson, ESQ.,. proprietor, and 1t IN
q positive pleasure to testify to his invariable
prOmptness and courtesy.
"In all these years the paper has not been
Usher. Neither has bis promptness been OK
ceeded by his courtesy. he has been obligipg
to the last degree, even at financial cost to
him. It is our first and experience in ed
1tIng or publishing, and we are conscious OF
provocationsi given him. We are. therefore.
the more sensible Of his long-suffering and
patience. From our standpoint we could not
wish for business relations more satisfactory
and ideal than ours have been with him."
1t has always been our ambition to have
the good will Of good men, and by no one are
kind words more appreciated than by us. The
fact that we have established business
which Is fairly successful is evidence that we
have to some extent gained the prize for
which we have striven. The advertising COL
umns OF the paper for several years Is some
evidence Of merit, while the large amount OF
job work which we have done, and are still
doing, is gratifying to him who is most in
terested.

Finding fault with another is only a
roundabout way of Dragging on
yourself.
Believe that you can make your life
all over again, and that it is worth
your while to try 1t.
"For me to live is Christ" This is
the ideal of Christian life exemplified
in actual experience.
One who stubbornly refuses to listen
to advice is not apt to learn anything
from observation.
The readiest and surest way to get
ride of censure is to correct ourselves.

Cotton Mill Failures.

The effort to run the Charleston Cotton
Min by negro labor has been abandoned, and
the machinery will be moved to Georgia.
where white labor may be employed. White
labor could not be had In Charleston. and
negro labor has proved unsatisfactory.
The negro labor, we believe, was sufhcient
ly intelligent to run the machines, but they
were unreliable. They did not seem to be
impressed with the necessity of appearing at
their machines every day.
II ia asserted, and the assertion seems to be
horne out by observation, that the negro, as a
rule. does not care to amass fortune, or
even to accumulate any considerable money
In our observation, it seems that as soon az
negro acquires small property, he feels that
he has done enough and is not impressed
with the importance of continued effort. A
number of negroes do we'll up TO certain
point, and then they go backward.

Bad LegiSIatiOn.

or all the bad Legislation that has been
proposed at this, or any other sitting OF the
General Assembly, that which proposes to
set.a stigma on cotton mill people is the most
evil. To, Legislate them off In q class to
themselves is contrary to the spirit Of our
government. To deprive people Of the right
TO earn an honest living. and to set the seal OF
condemnation on industry is abhorent to our
civilization. Idleness is the DEVILS workshop
and multitude Of children thrown together
in idleness would not promote good morals.
The mill people are citizens, possessing all
the rights Of any other citizens, and they
should make any attempt to degrade them by
Legislative enactment. Poor people, under
the most favorable circumstances, have
hard time of 1t in this world, and when the
lawmakers turn against them, their condi.
tion Is lamentable.
They are sensible people. and when they
feel that they should have their rights
abridged they will no doubt petition the Leg
islature to make slaves OF them. Before
the war we had laws by which the slaves
were governed, while poor white people were
governed by other rules. Shall We now have
one law for poor parents and another for rich
people, or people who can buy their food and
clothing out Of the stores, whether they are
ever paid for or not?
Names Of public spirited citizens, who have
accomplished something for their fellowman,
are conspicuous for their absence from the
side which would interfere with the strug-
CLING Citizen in his effort TO provide living
honestly In the sight OF God and man.

Holidays and IdIeness.

More people rust out from idleness
than die from overwork. A reason
able spell of recreation is beneficial
to worker, but prolonged idleness
is oftener a bane than a blessing.
Idleness is unquestionably a breeder
of mischief and misery.
The holiday season has been enjoyed
by some and endured by others; some
it has helped, others it has hurt.
Youth can crowd it with amusements
and D 'easures, and be better for fun
when studies are resumed, provided
the frolic has not been unduly spun
out. But people who are serisously at
work can get along better with only a
very brief relaxation from the routine
of their duties.
These thoughts have been more
deeply impressed upon me by finding
that an unusually large number OF
weekly newspapers took holiday for
seven days and issued no paper during
Christmas week. This seems strange
condition of affairs. Stores and other
business establishments, require more
work from their employees before
Christmas, and yet one day suftices
for the holiday enjoyment. only
certain amount of work is to be done
on newspaper, and by industry the
Office can get far enough ahead with
their tasks to allow at least two days
holidays-if 80 much be desired-and
yet not miss an issue of the paper.
am glad that my Christian Neiighbor
did not indulge in this needlessly
long rest and skip week-its visits
ale too cheering and helpful to miss
one of them.
The holiday season presents an
Housekeepers and COOKS
oftentimes the wives, mothers and
sisters of the household-have more to
do than usual. What about holiday for
them? What if they took but single
day for rest and pleasure. to say
nothing of whole week? They
deserve consideration and commisera-.
ton, especially if they are bothered
with a lot of idle men about the house.
