Easter.

Once again the Queen of the Church
Festivals is about to dawn upon us and
around the whole world will echo the
joyous Easter Anthem, "Christ being
raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over Him.
For in that He died. He died unto sin
once; but in that He liveth, He liveth
unto God.
Easter day as the day of the resur-
rection of our Blessed Lord was, and
is naturally the great centre of the
Christian year. 1t is not a new day.
We did not invent it. Our fathers did
mot invent it. We received it from
chem. They received it from their
Fathers, and their fathers from their
fathers before them and so down
through the ages the festival of Eas-
ter has been handed down to the pres
ent generation and will continue to be
handed down for all ages to come. By
"a decree of the Council of Nicea A. d.
1926, Easter day was fixed as the Sun
day nearest to the calculated anniver-
.sary of the actual resurrection, and
being determined by the Paschal moon
it is lin relation to the Solar year, the
centre of the movable, as Christmas is
of the immovable feasts.
The derivation of our word Easter"
will no doubt prove of INTEREST,"
venerable Bede, who lived A. D. 673
to 735 and was a monk Of Wearmouth
and Yarrow the great teacher and
writer Of the early Anglo Saxon church,
and the author of many valuable
treRtises, states that "our word Easter
is taken from the Anglo Saxon word
"Eastre," the name of the greatest
Spring festival" The old name for
Easter was "Pascha" the Pascha of
the Resurrection both in the East and
in the West. The original Pashca en-
braced Good Friday also, meaning the
Passover season, and the word still
survives in the term Paschal as ap.
piled to the Paschal supper, the Pas
chal Lamb, etc., and many titles of
honor and reverence were heaped up
on that day. In any event is it not,
should it not be day of great joy to
all denominations regardless of creed
in that it is the day of the resurrection
of our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, who conquered sin and death
for lis, whilst Christmas, the festival
of childhood allies itself with the
joys, the natural joys of humanity.
The Pasch egg and the salutation,
"Christ is risen," are borrowed from
the East, as well as the name "Lamos, -
meaning "the bright day." and on that
morn oriental Christians salute each
other with the words of salutation,
"Christ is risen." The testimony of
the Orient is valuable as showing to the
Occident the beauties, the dignity and
the venerableness of this festival,

MAY REDUCE WAGES IN MILLS.
Important Meeting of Cotton Manufac.
lures Held In Laurens.

An important meeting of representa-
tive mill presidents has just been held
here, at which the advisability of re-
ducing expenses was discussed and an
agreement to reduce employees wages
was practically reached. Just when the
reduction will be put into effect, if de-
fnitely decided upon, is not known.
The prevailing idea seemed to be that
there must be cut in running expenses
and that a reduction of wages of the
employees was the most feasible and
wisest plan. The presidents were not
disposed to run their mills on short
time, and it was about decided to keep
up the full time. The majority of the
mill interests of this entire section
were represented at the meeting.
Among those here were: Messrs. w.
S. Montgomery, of Spartanburg, 2. N.
Wright, of Newberry, A. F. McKissick
of Greenwood, Alex Long, of Rock Hill
B. D. Riegel, of Ware Shoals, and M.
l.. Copeland, of Laurens.

PREPARING TO
MEET THE ISSUE.
Secretary Riegel OF the Ware Shoals
Company COnfers With Number of
Local Stockholders.

Mr.. Benjamin D. Riegel, secretary
and manager of the Ware Shoals Man
ufacturing Company, was in the city
Saturday in conference with number
of the local stockholders of the mill
regarding the pending suit instituted
by Mr.. j. o. c. Fleming and others and
the motion for injunction to be made
before Judge Gage at Greenwood on
Friday.
The conference Saturday was for the
purpose of finding out the attitude of
the local stockholders in re the suit and
the prayer for injunction. 1t was Mr..
RiegePs desire also to meet and know
the local men connected with the mill;
until Saturday it was his belief that all
the Southern stockholders were against
his and his fathers interests and in
sympathy with the suit brought by the
minority interests. The outcome of the
conference was pleasing to both Mr..
Riegel and those who met him; for "a
of the local stockholders signed an un-
qualified reputation of the course pur-
sued by Messrs. Dial, Fleming and 9TH
ers, both in the suit and in the motion
for an injunction.
The Ware Shoals property is capital
lied at 81 200, 900, of which amount the
Riegels own 100000, the remaining
$500, 600 being held by local men; but in
addition there have been many improve
ments made and paid for by the Riegels
and not included in the amount of their
holdings. In the meeting Saturday it
developed that the mill owed notes
amounting to about $7Oo, 900 and some
thing has to be done. The issuance of
the additional $500, 600 stock is the only
salvation, so it is said by Mr.. Riepel
and those in sympathy with his policy.
Mr.. Riegel considers the issuance of the
additional stock positive necessity at
this time to save the property and it
seems that some of the local men agree
with him. They seem to think that the
policy of the minority is detrimental to
the interests of not only the majority
but to themselves as well.
In the petition for an injunction will
be stated charges of mismanagement
and extravaganza on the part of the
present management. 1t was learned
Saturday that in reply to these it will
be shown that the mill earned about
$500, 600 last year. The erection of the
$4,000 mansion for the residence of
Mr. Relgel has been cited as evidence
