The pat rons have been most generous with the eggs and before the day is over sixty dozen will assure brilliant hues. My! how. the hens would cackle with delight if they could be spectators at this egg show, and now since they have so nobly done their part let’s make the event memorable. In the two schools there are about six hun dred and fifty pupils and about seven hundred and twenty eggs will be dyed. We wish we could dye more'-but even that is an undertaking, so we are ask ing that each be considerate of the other fellow and many Boy Scouts can do their good deed that day. Beside the eggs, there is another attractive feature, for many “paper bag" prizes are to be given. Poor Richard says, “Tis hard for an empty sack to stand alone," but these bags won’t have any trouble stand ing, for the merchants have most willingly and generously filled them. Every child’s heart thrills at the sight of a paper bag and in fact the paper bag deserves a place in history. In the high school, or rather the last year or so of high school, and for the next decade the paper bag is held in rather disdain but this causes the paper bag not one restless moment for it is soon to come into its own and -reign supreme for the remaining decades! So take caution that you do not sneer for we are twice a child, and he who laughs beat laughs last. Those who have added attractive paper bags and other prizes are: Chronicle Publishing Co., Farmers Mercantile Co., J. M. Pitts, Casionette, Candy Kitchen, P. S. Jeans, Milling Grocery Co^ Baldwin Broe. Grocery, Smith’s Pharmacy, I. C. Boland, Lit tle A Denson, Edgar Todd, Coleman’s Book Store, J. L. Wright, John T. Blakely, J. A. Bailey, Clinton Mercan tile Co., Casino Theatre, Fuller Gro cery Co., Carryteria, Sadler-Owens Pharmacy, Kellers Drug Stord, Bell- Workman Co., Dixie Flour 4 Grain .-jpe, /uV/'v -» ■ Some have contributed so much that out of tiie amount quite a number of can be made so to the high will be given about thirty prises, and to the grammar school about thirty-eight. The prize eggs will be marked in a certain way and will be numbered with a number cor responding with the paper bag num ber. The high school hunt will be in the woods to the side of Dr. Kellers’ and Mr. Pinson’s, and the grammar school of the first and second grades will be at the Central Graded School, and the others at the lawn of Mr. R. H. Hatton. Any patrons who have not contri buted and would like to, please phone Mrs. L. B. Dillard this morning. A Thought for the Week ■ To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frank ly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry nev er; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common, this is to be my symphony.—William Henry Cban ning. If Only If only dinner cooked itself, And groceries grew upon the shelf; If children did as they were told, And never had a cough or cold, And washed their hands, and wiped their boots, And never tore their Sunday suits, But always tidied up the floor. Nor once forgot to shut the door. If John remembered not to throw ’ /"*• * His papers on the ground. And oh! If he would put his pipe sway, And shake the ashes on the tray Instead of on the floor close by; And always spread his towels to dry. Then there’s another thing: If Jane Would put the matches back again Just where she found them, it would be A saving of time to her and me, And if she never did forget To put the dustbin out; nor yet Contrive to gossip with the baker, Nor need the thunderbolts to wake her. . Ahem! If wishes all came true, I don’t know what I’d find to do Because if no one made a mess There’d be no need of cleanliness, And things might work so blissfully. In time—who knows?—they’d not need me! _ ' —Fay Inchfawn. And The Lord God Planted a Garden - The first book of the Old Testa ment contains these words and the last chapter of Revelations describes a garden. Each spring renews her- PAGE THREE yellow jessamine has been transform ing tree trunks, shrubs, and wayside fences into half-heavenly beauty. This gelsemium sempervirens, to use its botanical name, has recently been adopted as the state flowers of South QsreUna, and the Columbia State, to commenting on the matter, says: "The name it beart comes from Per sian gardens, where Omar Khayyam loafed and invited his soul net un frequented gardensides, with their flush of red and white roees. But Tram indeed is gone with all his Rose,’ and the Jasmine still garlands our forests and sweetens the breath and beauty of our land. The Irani celled it ‘Yasmin’ with the sound of 4 yaws-meen,’ as if struck or gently plucked from lyre-strings. And ever since the days of Khayyam, and of Sa’adi, and of Rastum, it has blown its fragrance, sweeter than the ’at tar’—atar,' breath—of all the roses, over the whole earth It is a fit flower for our state and whenever it blooms there is a new resurrection in the world.*’ Columbia Hears New York Senator self and working together with her, we too may enjoy the beauties shrf was not only a loss of hundreds of offers. Many florists direct that planting but was a treasonable act for it is . Blight Resisting Roses prises and transplanting be done in the fall; but for those who want plants from the native woods, get them “when the beech of the trees begins to pop," sang a good authority. Dogwood, Judas tree red bud, black walnuts, persimmons, mimosa and sweet shrubs are waiting to beautify your roads and yards. A weeping willow will grow from a cutting and be the first green of spring and the last to shed in the fall. There is no more worth while thing to do than_ to make one bit of earth full of growth and beauty. Among the best climbing roses with persistent foliage that does not blight or mildew, making them useful for screens, and while blooming but once each season, producing at that time a wealth of flowers, the following are the most popular and satisfactory: American Pillar—large clusters of single cherry rad flowers with yel low centers. Dr, Van Fleet—beautiful glowing shell pink In clusters. Silver Moon—large, single, pure white yellow center.’ Pink Cherokee large, single, rosy, pink, yellow center.

Copeland Delivers In spiring Speech In CapitoL Demo crats Told Deserve To Win. Columbia, April 14.—“We must not alone win,” said Royal S. Copeland to nearly 500 Columbia citizens at luncheon today, “but we must deserve to win." He spoke hopefully of the outlook for the Democratic party to triumph at the November elections but he declared that it was of second ary importance merely to win. “We must deserve the win." “The president," he said at another time in his address, “has taunted the senate over its investigations. Yes, we are going to continue the investi gations," the New York senator de clared with positiveness, “until every rascal in high place is kicked out." Senator Copeland characterized Secretary Mellon as a “nice man, an honest man, but he is no greater than his predecessor in that office." He then proceeded to show where the Mellon plan of tax reduction was for a few dozen millionaries. Mellon in cluded, while the Democrats will re duce the taxes for the millions. "His reference to Secretary Denby was particularly effective. He refer red to the ex-secretary of the navy as a bonehead. As a health expert and physician of national reputation, Senator Copeland is no doubt quali fied to make a diagnosis of what ailed Denby. With young Teddy Roosevelt he was particularly ap propriate in his characterization. “I admired and do yet admire Theo dore Roosevelt," declared Senator Copeland, “but Teddy lacks many of the* admirable qualities of his fath er. Is that language actionable," he inquired of Governor McLeod, when informed that it was safe to proceed, Dr. Copeland declared that Teddy had been the busybody in this Teapot Dome affair.’’ The New York senator gave a brief but very clear history of the oil scan dals from the inspection of ‘ Josephus Daniels’ wise efforts to protect the oil reserves off -the country for the use of our navy, through the slippery doings of the Republican National Convention, and on down to this day when the investigators have’‘found that the filching of these reserves l a a a millions of dollars to the country, a a destined to weaken our first line de fense. He made no attempt at ora tory or fervid denunciation but wrath whose righteousness was pati ent he denounced the Republican ad ministration, not only for failure to establish an international policy, but for the scandals that have<-disgusted the world. During the address he stated that he is no convert to Democracy. “My people never tried to destroy your state capitol." He declared they were “Copperheads" during the war. This brought hearty applause. The “Cop perheads" were descendants of emi grants from the southern states who settled in border states, and while not at all times actively supporting the South during the war, were opposed to the war. Dr. Copeland departed frequently from his speech he had intended to make and became quite informal. The whole occasion was lacking in re straint. Preparation had been made to serve 275 and there were 471 at the table. The women reinforced the gathering with more than 200 and the senator was at all times at his ease. He wants to come back to South Caro lina to visit the Magnolia Gardens— and the people, of course. His address showed his concern over world economic conditions and he was evidently posted on the fail ures of the Republican party to stabi lize world business conditions, al though aa Governor McLeod stated in his introduction, "out of the ninety senators, most of whom are lawyers, it is nothing hut right to have one doctor to tell us what to do foir an overdose of oil." He did so. bi- J1 0 B O 0 0 0J 01 0 in <4 0 0 0 0 0 01 GROVER SOFT SHOES For Tender Feet ’ 4* r !f* Common-sense shoes for work-a-day wear That’s the Grover Soft Shoe for Tender Feet—and not for tender feet alone but for any feet which would be fresh and ready for street shoes or dress pump when the day’s work is done.
