“WEARING OF THE GREEN”
Oh, Paddy, dear, and. did you hear
the news that's gohT round,
The shamrock is / forbid by law to
grow on Irish*ground;
St. Patrick’s Day no more we’ll keep,
his colors can’t be seen.
For there’s a bloody law again’ the
wearing of the green.
I met with Napper Tandy and he tuk
me by the hand,
And he said, “How’s good ould Ireland
and how does she stand?”
She’s the most distressful country
that you’ve ever seen,
They’re hanging men and women there
for Wearing of the Green.
But if at last our color should be torn
from Ireland’s heart,
Her sons with shame and sorrow from
the dear soil will part;
I’ve heard whispers of a country that
lies beyant the uyi~
Where rich and poor stand equal in
the light of freedom’s day.
Oh, Erin, must we leave you, driven
by the tyrant’s hand,
Must we ask a mother's welcome from
a strange but happy land;
Where the cruel cross of England’s
thralldom shall never be seen,
And where, thank God, we’ll live and
die, still Wearing of the Green.
—An o'd ballad.

FORMAL OPENING
“BABY COTTAGE”
“And a little child shall lead them.”
The power of one! The manifold
power of twenty seven! When the
sun slowly sinks to rest just over
that baby home will not Clintonians
perceive a new halo, and will not
even strangers note an added glory?
A beacon—a blessing—a benediction!
When the president of Thornwell
Orphanage appealed to the Triplet
Synodicals two years ago, his voice
was not so much heard as the cries
of little brothers and sisters separated
one from another. At Thornwell
there are many families minus the
baby, and why? There was no place
provided and ashift must go to the
motherless - fatherless babe until
of age to enter. No longer is the
condition such, and the most attract
ive baby home in the whole Southland
is to be found in our midst. There
will be no need of pavement for beat
en paths will lead to the entrance,
as every visitor to the orphanage, nay,
even to Clinton, will visit that fairy
land. Practically is ready and the
attractive matron, Mrs. L. R. Clark,
awaits with motherly affection the
first arrival. Six of the older gilds,
after much deliberation, have been
chosen as helpers, for there were
twenty applications, and they are
waiting to join the triumphal entry
of the “first baby.” The steam heat
has already been turned on, hot and
cold water in ample supply; a case of
soap on hand; attractive beds all
spread, and the white enameled pedes
tal tubs issuing the invitation: “Come
in, the water’s fine!” These evoked
a shout of praise from mothers when
they thought of the many back aches
caused by bending over and lifting
heavy tin tubs. Possibly, the most
attractive spot is the beautifully fur
nished dining room. All furniture is
in old ivory, bearing a tracing of blue,
and the dear little chairs and tables
make you long for the occupants.
Truly, fairy land awaits the fairies!
The building bears the name of
“The Louise Mayes Baby Cottage,” in
honor of one who so nobly and hearti
ly launched the work. Before any
definite accomplishments, Mrs. Mayas
was called home, and her ab’c .-«uc-
cessor, Mrs. Andrew Bramlett, tell
zealously in line.
The cottage was opened to the pub
lic on March 16th, thereby commem
orating two significant dates—the
birth of the founder, Dr. William
Plumer Jacobs, and the death of Mrs.
Louise Mayes. Present on this occa
sion were Mr. Carles Mayes and Miss
Mary Mayes, of Greenville,'Who pre
sented a photograph of their lovely
mother. In the reception room it
hangs to greet the baby family and
all comers, for ’twas she who said:
“It can be done, and it will be done."
Dr. Lynn made a few remarks rela
tive to the call and mentioned parti
cularly the hearty response of Mrs.
Sam McNeel, of York, who gave
$3,500 for furnishings; of Mrs. Geo.
M. Wright, of Laurens, who conduct
ed the South Carolina campaign; of
Mrs. Andrew Bramlett, of Columbia,
president of the - South Caro'ina
Synodical. Dr. Lynn then introduced
Mrs. Bramlett, who in a most charm
ing and delightful manner brought
greetings from all the Synodicals.
Mrs. Bramlett took great pride in tell
ing of the hearty cooperation of Mrs.
W. A. Turner, president of the Synodi
cal of Georgia, and Mrs. H. A. Love,
president of the Synodical of Florida,
and Mrs. Arthur Spencer, who con
ducted the Florida campaign.
Friends recall the days of pilgrim
ages and come from the four corners
to the baby shrine which is to be dedi
cated in June at the semi-centennial
celebration. At the opening, delega
tions were present from Due West,
Laurens, Greenville, Newberry, Wood
ruff, Union, and a large concourse
from Clinton and surrounding coun
try.
