EASTER
EGG HUNT
Plans and “equipment" for the egg
hunt are well on the way. 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.

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.*’

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

your roads and yards.
A weeping willow will grow from

There is no more worth while
thing to do than_ to make one bit

Dr. Royal S. 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.
