JD. J ABiIg00*O*~ vacation, I wfil give0 account of our trip to theb a tiful Sapphire country with a party of fourteen. The first place we came to after leaving Nimmons bridge, situated on the banks of the beautiful Keowce, was Salem, in Oconeo county. After stay ing there some two hours we started for Whitewater. Night overtook us before reaching Whitewater, which made it very dark while passing these noted falls. After going some four miles we reached a place known by everybody as Beauhanie, a love ly village. Here we spent the night at the Hinkle House. Well, after a good night's rest, bright and early we start ed with a 4-horse taem for Sap phi-le, five miles away. After reaching Sapphire,while crossing the great suspension bridge over the mighty deep, some one suggested that we give three yells, for we had found the great Sapphire lake, the wonder of the world Shortly after reaching Sap phire we started for Fairfield, two miles away; the scenery just below the dam is beautiful beyond description; and a won derful mineral spring, cut out in the rock, almost in the shape of a pot. On one side was a ce ment washpan, something that was new to us all. Then we made for the top of the dam across to a small boat house for a rest. After a short rest we started around the lake. Near the head of the lake we came to- a great mountain of rock, known as "Lover's Leap," and it was sure hard to pass without leaping. From here to Fairfield Inn where we spent a happy two hours while it was raining. We were served all kinds of refreshments, and our crowd left rejoicing for the Rho dadendon, where we spent the night. Next morning, all feeling fine, started for Lake Toxaway, a mile away. Reached there about 11 o'clock, and all went to the boat-house, where we seized a gasoline launch for a 13-mile trip around the lake with L. B. O'Dell. Here Ralph Robinson and seve-al others joined our crowd. After enjoying this ride we partook of a sumptuous dinner, and later in the afternoon tookf another delightful ride to the hotel andl across to the island, where a grand panorama of mountain scenery was present ed to our view.. Loading'ourselves with post cards of the "beautiful sapphire country," we turned our faces * toward old Pickens. - ,Among our crew were Misses Ora Niller, Easley; Nan Nim mons, Seneca; Minnie Welborn, Pickens; Ada Miller, -Iasley; Sadie Craig, Dalton; Mrs. M.

What Was ie? He was here the other-day. There was no mistaking the Idenity of the person. He bore every mark necessary to mark him as not being a real nan. He was different from all the men around him and every one noticed him and smiled. He was fat and short. While his self-esteem- was large his head was small. He wore a white straw hat with a very small brim, knocked down over his right eye and kicked up in the back just behind his left ear. His hair stuck down over his forehead, -peeping out from under his dainty straw hat. He had a faraway but conscious look out of his dreamy eyes that 1 seemed to say, "Here I am; look at me." His collar was of the regulation style for men of that stamp. His cravat was a dream of color and size and flowed down to the waistband of his panfs4, He wore no "weskit." His, coat was truly of the sack pattern. It was just twenty two numbers too large for him and reached down almost to his knees. It was dark blue. Ex cept for the sleeves it might have been taken for a Roman toga. His light-colored pants were (f the "hipcut" pattern; that Is the waistband did not come above his Jiips. He* wore no "galluses." The legs of the pants, which appeared to be a misfit attached to the waist band, were just too stylish and just the thing. Each leg would hold about two bushels. They tapered down to the ankles, where they were turned up slightly according to fashion, displaying socks of several vari eties of colors. Those socks with the feet in them were In cased In a pair of low-quartered shoes with high heels. Their shape was of the latest agony and so pigeon-toed that it was distressing to see them. We first concluded that he was a drummer, but second thought told us that drummers had too much sense to dress that way. We would like for some one to tell us who he was, or who he might be, from the do scription given. We can't figure it out.--[Edgefield News. O.O0-P.
