Prompt Work.

Mr. Augustus kohn, OF the News and
Courier, recently made most pleasant men
tion OF a notable promptness in the printing
ofa public officers report Of several hundred
pages to the General Assembly.
According to our recollection, Mr.. kohn
stated that the work was printed and ready
for delivery within four or five days after the
last of the copy had been handed TO the State
printer.
That was prompt work, and 1t is pleasing 10
see that Mr.. Kohn was willing to award TO q
competing Office deserved credit and praise
TO finish book within four or five days
after the last of the copy had been furnished
was Quick work indeed, and great credit was
due to the enterprisihg State printer.
The Press aud Banner office, like the State
Printer, does job printing. and when we get q
hurry.up Job we send 1t out In q hurry
For instance: Last week the last OF the
CODY on q book Of over three hundred pages
was received on Thursday morning. Next
day. twenty.six hours after receiving the
Iast of the CODY, copies of the book we're finish
ed and put in the mail at Abbeville. This
however, was nothing remarkable. We SIM
ply discharged a duty to customer. ana we
deserve no particular credit for 1t and the act
is scarcely worth mentioning by an office ike
ours, except to state facts. When the once
has a full corps of excellent printers, all oi
whom are faithful, almost anything can be
done, and is done, in the Press and banner
Office.
AS far as We are able, we have stated the
facts as to the State Printers work, and the
work done in the Press and Banner ofhce.
In either case as stated above, there is an
important omission. Mr.. Kohn did not say
what amount of copy. or what number OF
pages, were printed In the "four or hVe days.
In like manner, we were silent on that SUBJ
ject, and did not say how many pages we
printed in the "twenty.six hours"
For fear that some one may labor under
mistake In believing that great book can be
printed in "twenty.si1 hours" "or even IN
four or five days. after the copy has been
handed to the printer, we will say that In tne
case OF our job. the whole book had been
printed except sixteen pages, the form ol
which was being held over or left open, wait
ing for two pages of tabulated statistics. Ihe
COPY came on Thursday morning. The type
was set in the forenoon of that day, and IN the
afternoon the form was completed ana put 10
press. The book was made up and stltcneo'
the back was pasted on and 1t was trimmed
making the finished book.
The Press and Banner has been greatly
rushed during the last few mon tbs. Our
customers seem to be we'll pleased with both
cur work and our prices. We can get more
work than our printers can do, and sometimes
we have been compelled to decline to bid for
printing which was offered. While we do al.
most any kind ofwork, We make special effort
to print briefs. We have never disappo inted
a lawyer in getting his brief or argument
ready for Court. Everybody In the Office
would work all night long rather than disap-
point q customer. We have printed five
hundred pages OF briefs in the last two
months.

The deepest yarning of our heart

If there is regret in heaven, those

Dont't Tell Your Troubles

Don Z tell your troubles TO me friend,
For quite enough OF my own for one;
And in trying to give them attention.
don't feel in 1t very much fun.
Each fellow should shoulder his burden,
And as man fully bear IL alone
And not try TO cast II on others,
Who must each have enough OF his own.
To keep O brave heart is the victory;
And crushing down our griefs with Will,
Not palming them off on our neighborsD
That will help us ITO grind at the MILL
'Tis the one who bears ills in silence,
And never "wears his heart on his sleeve
And smiles when his burden is heaviest
And tries hard to make others believe
He is happy when his heart Is aching
With grim SORROWS too sacred to tell;
'Tia 10 him the crown will be given
For bearing his own great CROSS 30 we'll.
So brother don't go bout repining,
And telling your long sad tale OF woe;
Bnt "brace up" and try to be smiling,
For In that lies success here below.
Upon One ye shall cast your burden;
He has bid you to come unto Him,
And has promised to free you from sorrow,
And forgive and blot out every sin.

Easter In the New Century.

In the century just begun there will be
SPIT Sundays. In that which we have
hardly yet learned to speak Of as the
last Easter Sunday has occurred once
on it's earliest possible date, March %
1918; but this will not recur till the
twenty-third century. The earliest Eas'
ter in the new century will be March %,
1913. Easter Sunday will fall once on
its latest day, April 25, in 1943. This
also occurred once in the century just
passed-in 1866. Ascension day is practi
cally always in May, but on three occa,
sions in the past century it occurred in
June, and in the new century this will
happen four times.

To Reduce the Acreage.

This year that form of lunacy which affects
to govern the price OF cotton by the reduc.
tion of the cotton acreage in South Carolina
seems not to have taken very rank hold on
the minds OF the people Of this State. If
South Carolina planted no cotton at all the
fact would not be known in Liverpool, unless
it was published in the newspapers. The
three tailors who headed their petition, I'VE
the people of England" &C., have been doing
duty for a long time. In this respect they are
different from Harvie Jordan and others OF
his class, who soon retire and are heard OF no
more after crop planting time.

McLaurin's Enemies TO Greg ister.''

ipgs in the various counties when the people,
by resolution, might register" dlspleasure
at McLaurin's Senatorial votes.
We think If the News and Courier knew
more of the sentiment OF the people. that
paper would not make such suggestion. II
the people should "regster" the News and
Courier would be surprised at the "registra-
tion."
We base this opinion upon two reasons:
l. Our confidence in the wisdom and good
sense Of the people to choose between the
right and the wrong.
Q. Because the acts Of McLaurin are right
and have the old.time Democratic precedent

Invited Out.

The State has frequently invited the sup
porters Of McLaurin to quit the Democratic
party. We do not know whether the oppon'
ents Of McLsurin are afraid OF results In the
primary election. or whether The State is
authorized to speak for the Democratic party
At present 1t seems that the discussion OF
the question of freedom OF thought aud speech
cannot be avoided. There can be no doubt
that the Democratic party Is very much
divided, and there is less doubt that the people
are disposed to act independently of bosses.

THE RISEN CHRIST.
|HRIST Is Tisenl Let the swell
OF the holy Easter bell
All the wond'rous story tell:

GJ How the Man OF Nazareth,
With his faint expiring breath,
Gained the yict'ry over death;
How within the tomb's embrace
Once reposed the sainted face
OF the Saviour OF the race
On that faroff Eastertide;
How the grave was opened wide,
And he lived who had but died.
Thus the Holy Word was done.
And the triumph had been won
BY the Father through the Son.
Teach me, Lord, to love thy way
Ere my feet have learned to stray
Or my lips forget to pray.
Now, o Lord. so many rise,
Filled with earthly yanities,
Who thy gentle truths despisel
But thy bread is fair to eat,
And the lowly path is sweet,
Trodden by thy sacred feet.
Sound, o bell. your dulcet ring!
Lift, o child. your voice and sing,
For again has come the King.
And, fair lily, lit your head;
All your sweetest incense shed;
Christ is risen from the dead!

She was told that it had been found

for. The lady said her bird could ner.
form the pretty feat Of picking IN q
pin and sticking it in the carpet. Re.
ing allowed to test this bird, the cage
door was opened and a pin thrown on
the floor. The canary at once flew
down to it, picked it up in its bin and
cleverly stuck it upright in the Garnet
after which it burst into song as if "a

her, says Little Folks, to take the
