The Woodman Celebration
The Woodman Anniversary
/Celebration on last Ftiday was
a o occasion long to be remem
bered bj the people of the
county, District Deputy Butler
and corps of atle assistants de
serve great qredit for the com
pleteness with which the pro.
gram was carried out. The
procession was formed a little
later than the hour scheduled
but the delay was more than
compensated for by its up
pearauce on the march to the
utaml ut Hampton Park. Pre
peded by mounted marshals,
it wus headed by a float of Live
Oak Camp No. 49 of Camden,
which float was followed by that
jof* Water Oak Camp of West
Wateree. Theu carno the car
riages containing the speakers,
they being followed by Poplar
Camp No. 379 in full regalia, and
the other local and visiting
sovereigns marching by twos,
the procession ending with THE
QOAT.
The speakers were the follow
ing: Hon. D. E. Finley of York
ville, Mr. T. B. Butler of Gaff
ney, Revv/L. A. Mitchell of our
/city, Mr. Jonn Rsb Drake of
Darlington, Hon. W. Hampton
Cobb of Columbia and Mr. W. T.
/Slaughter of Hickory Grove,
JState manager of the W. O. W.
x Where all did so well, it would
not be fair to especiallycom
mend the address of any indi
vidual, so we simply remark that
our people learned more of the
objects and benefits of Wood
craft from them than they would
have learned in a lifetime by ob
servation. It is safe to assert
that fraternalism, as represented
by our several fraternal orders
received a tremendous push for
wards and the effects of this
/celebration will be felt years
hence.
The hit of the day was the re
cital of a poem entitled
Tlio Little Woodman,
by little Miss Edna Butler,
daughter of Mr. J. E. Butler.
This poem was beautifully ren
dered, the little lady showiug not
the least trace of nervousness,
and deliveriug the lines with in
imitable grace and expression.
We give the poem below:

The Piece That Robert Spoke
Once there was a little boy, whose
name was Robert Reece;
And every Friday afternoon lie bad to
speak a piece.
So many poems thus be learned, that
soon he had a store
Of recitations in his head, and still
kept learning more.
And now this is what happened : He
was called upon one week,
And totally forgot the piece he was
about to speak !
Ilis brain he cudgeled. Not a word
remained within his head!
And su he spoKe at random, and this
Is what he said :
"My beautiful, my beautiful, who
stablest proudly by.
It was the schooner 'Hesperus'? tha
breaking waves lashed high!
Why is this forum crowded? What
means this stir in Rome?
lender a spreading chestnut tree there
is no place like home.
'?When Freedom from her mountain
height cried, twinkle little star,
Shoot if you must this old gray head,'
King Henry of Navarre?
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue cas
tled crag of Orachenfels,
My name is Norval, on the Grampian
hills, ring out, wild bells!
"If you're waking, call me earls, to be
or not to be,
Thp curlew must not ring tonight ! O,
woodman, spare that tree.
Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stanley
on ! And let who Will be clever!
1 lie boy stood on the horning deck, but
I go on forever !"
