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.

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.

Vhen the bloom was on the clo

Inthe days gone by, when my
naked feet were tripped
By the honeysuckle tangles
where the water lilies

AnD the ripples of the river lipp'd
the moss along the brink
Where placid-eyed and lazy

And the tilting.snipe stood fear

And the splashing of the swim

Oh, the days gone by! Oh, the
days gone by!
Thc music of the laughing lip,
- the luster of the eye,
The childish faith In fairies and
Aladdin's magic ring,
The simple, soul-reposing, glad
belief in everything,
When life was like a story,
holding neither sob nor
sigh,
In the golden, olden giery of the
days gone by.
