|on being the golf club of Rock Hill.
I luncheon was served at noon, cold
Irjnks all day and in the afternoon
0vl t.a and sandwiches, The com
(,lt( ( m charge is certainly to be con
ratulated on the complete success of
day that afforded much pleasure
, all as well as to the golfers. The
fount ry Club on historic Hobkirk
(ill is a most desirable place o>? a hot I
Xternoon when fanned by the cool

Mias Wooten's Party.
Around forty-five of the younger;
set enjoyed the charming hospitality
&f Miss Emily Wooten Thursday eve-'1
.ling when she entertained delight
fully at cards and dancing in -honor
jf her guest, Miss Celeste Roudette,
of Columbia. The entire lower floor
was thrown ensuite and decorated
in a color scheme of white and yellow.
Summer flowers were blooming every
where. the Shasta daisies prevailing.
Lights were shaded with yellow which
gave them a soft, summery gleam.
Tables were attractively arranged for
the bridge devotees, while others pre
ferred the dance. A delightful buffet
supper was served during the even
ting
Christian Endeavor Picnic.
The downpour of rain Monday af
ternoon prevented the Christian En
deavor Society of the Presbyterian j
(church from going on the picnic to
Haile's gold mine, as planned, but as
the showers held up later in the eve
ning it was decided to hold the picnic
at the I). A. R. Chapter Hall. Well
filled baskets had been prepared for
the occasion and a bon fire was light
ed in the yard for cooking. Inside the
hall all went merry. Lights gleamed
and music on piano and violin charm
ed away the outside dreariness, while
games and contests were enjoyed, and
the affair voted a success in spite of
the first disappointment.

IT IS to Wy

[* the first state

rlahte to
women, la fact when congress,
in 1868, crested the Territory of
Wyoming from parts of Dakota,
Utah and Idaho, a constitution
was adopted which gave women
the right to vote.
There were rumors of early
Spanish explorations in Wyoming
but they seem unfounded by
fact Probably the first white
men to visit this part of the
country were Sleur de.la Veren
deze, and his sons who passed
through this region In 1743 In
search of locations for trading
posts. In 1804 the Yellowstone
was first visited by hunters, al
though the fsme of Its scenic
beauty was not given much cre
dence until 1870 and It was 'set
aside as a federal reserve in
1872.
The first permanent fort in
Wyoming was erected In 1884
where the Laramie river flows
into the Platte. Later when the
stream of Immigrants passed
through this region on their way
to the California gold fields a
string of forts were erected
along the Oregon Trail to pro*
tect the travelers from attacks
by the hostile Sioux Indians.
Through Wyoming foent not
only the Oregon Trail, which
was opened up by Lieutenant
Fremont and his guide. Kit Car
json. In 1842, bat *Iso_ the Salt
Lake Trail. Along these routes
many travelers crosscd . Wyo
ming, but few stopped and set
tled there as theTcunuV was
the most arid of all our states.
The discovery of gold In 1887
led to the founding of So nth
Pass City and inthe same year
Cheyenne waa laid out by the
Unltm Pacific flallroad company.
Wyoming became the forty

Additional material U being put on

Its Owner Foumfr ?
Miss Carle Stokes," who resides i>fi
a rural route leading from Lucknow
in this county, was in Camden Friday
and told us that she had received a
letter from Arthuur W. Petit, Jr., of
90 Reed Street, Charleston, S. C.,
stating that the carriei' pigeon found
by her last week belonged to him and
that the bird along with fifteen others
had been released in Columbia on
Jun^ I6.th and that this was one of
two of^ the sixteen that had not
reached home. Miss Stokes sent the
bird to its owner upon receipt of the
letter. J The young pian read a press
dispatch in the News and Courier
wfiere the bird itad been found by
Miss Stokes.
A Tip to Game Wardens.
If amatory told a Chronicle man a
few dafys ago is true, the game war
dens df the State should issue orderB
to begin war upon black snakes. A
gentleman who travels the country
districts considerably tells uus that a
few days ago while driving a truck
along a slightly wooded highway he
ran over the tail of a black snake
and in a short while on his return he
stopped his truck and found where the
snake had crawled to the edge of the
woods. The wound from the truck
wheierhad apparently made the rep
tile sick, for the gentleman and a
companion counted one dozen par
tridge eggs the snake had emitted
from its mouth and there were other
eggs that had been broken.
Mrs. C. H. Yates has returned from
