ThO old steps of l h i m second residence now lead up to the pic turesque and attractive springtime home of the owner, Mr. (\ Norwood Hasty. It was our privilege and pleasure last week ti> enjoy tho i-hai'mintf hos pitality of "The City by the Sea' and also to visit the far-famed (Jar dens, said t?> be the most lu-autiful in the world by those who have visited the famous botanical gardens of every country and every clime, We fool utterly incapable of giving even a passing description of their beauty. Their gorgeous coloring and the dig nity of their setting; but we feel im pelled to add our testimony as it may induce other South Carolinians to sec this veritable paradise, blooming on their own soil and lying at their door. The entire setting of the garden is beautiful beyond description, the magnificent live oaks, with a mantle of soft ever-lasting <green, a carpet of green velvet hhot with violets, dozens of white walks and acres upon acres of (lowers. The azaleas are now in their glory. Some o'f tho bushes are twenty feet high, mingling their brilliancy with the polished leave* of the Magnolia, solid masses of blossoms in all shades of red, from palest pink to deepest crimson, from blue to purple and now and then a pure white bush. You cross a tiny lake over an artistic bridge and far above your head are great masses of rose pink and crimson. The trees are mantled in purple and white wistaria itTm unu 11ICI!

An enchanted spot that seemed to have been dropped from some Heavenly sphere. We quote the following from John Gals worthy in Century Magazine: "Nothing so *f ree and gracious, so. richly colored, yet so " ghostlike exhiRts planted by the sons of men. Jt, is a kind of paradise which has wandered down ? a miraculously en chant^. wilderness." Let us add it is a sight worth traveling many miles to see. Visitor Complimented.

IMuus For Memorial Day. The executive committee of the J John > 0. Kennedy Chapter I'. I). C. wet with the ehapter president Wed nesday afternoon to perfcet plans for | the coming Memorial Day which is to | be observed on Friday, May the IM h , as the 10th comes on Saturday. An interesting program has been ; ftY j ranged by a spedial committee, who was fortunate in securing the Kev. | K. A. I.apsley of Columbia as ., ' speaker and also in securing music i for the occasion. The Presbyterians have generously loaned their new dining room for the dinner, and the chapter president, Airs. \\ . J, IHmn, will keep open house for thv veterans that day, thus giving them a place to rest and to talk of the days of 44Au|d,Lang Syne." The chapter #is greatly indebted to the Masons of Camden for the loan of their spacious dining room for the veteran's dinner year after year. It was a gracious courtesy- that shall always be gratefully remembered by the v ladies. Hut the time has come when the boys, of the sixties can no j longer climb the long stairway. And so we try to do whut is best for them. But for the great deeds of those to whom we give tribute on that day, we as an organization would have no reason for existence. A cause may be defeated but not lost and the prin ciples it enshrined livo on -forever. And the love of the South for her Confederate soldiers but proves that "he can endure." The principles they taught us, the heroic example they set us, the valor tlujy have bequeathed us, is our proud(/heritage. ? Easter Egg Sale.

The beauty of the street de pends upon all its furnishings. Most important of course are the well-kept gardens and homes that line the street, the League pl&ces first there 'fore in the work of improvement, the importance of the care of the home grounds. And then stately trees are an added brtiuty. Next to these the chief ornament of a street is its grassy spaces. We have a delightful climate, and a town that stands al- ' most, and sometimes entirely un rivalled in beauty. Flower beds and flowering shrubs could make of it a perpetual garden. Remember that: "The beauty which old Greece or Rome , Sung, painted, wrought, lies clos? at home." The Greatest Single Cause of Accidents is the Automobile - / To the driver, the passenger, or the pedestrian. Over 14,000 people were killed and several hundred thousand were in jured in the United States in 1922 in automobile accidents. The chance of accident is increasing daily.

It covers you if you are struck, run down or run over by an automobile while walking on or across any public highway, or if your injury is due to the burning or explosion of an automobile. It also covers your death if due to carbon monoxid poisoning from an auto exhaust. We also write all forms of lire, theft, liability, property damage and collision insurance.
