An Essay by Miss Margaret 0’Gorman., of the Blackyilie High, School, which was awarded one of the fS.OO Priaas Offered by the Home Bank of Barnwell. Althoug the day was dark and dreary, March eleventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-sbe, will always be a bright memory for the meiinibers of the present'senior class of Black- ville~ High School. On that day Mr, Edgar Brown had invited all the graduating classes of the High Schools in Barnwell County ^o visit, iColumbia. We awoke to find that rain had fallen all night and that there was no promise of clearing. For awhile everyone was undecided; “to go or not to go?” was the ques tion everyone was asking. However, after inquiring about the roads, we thought it safe to go. After many bumps and much skidding our class reached Columbia and was the first to arrive. When the other three graduating classes arrived, we were taken into the House of Representatives which was beginning its day’s meeting. The mostf interesting thing there is the handsome silver, gold-burnished mace which is the emblem of authority for the House. Every day upon the opening of the meeting the Sergeant- at-Arms bears the mace ab?ad of the Speaker and places it on the ros trum in front of the Speaker, where it remains until recess or adjourn ment. Whenever the House officially attends a meeting in the Senate Chamber and upon State occasions, the emblem is always borne, at the head of the procession. The mace was made in London in 1756 and was purchased <by the “Commons House of Assembly of the province of South Carolina” for ninety guineas—four hundred and fifty dollars. So far a« Mr. Salley, the State Historian, U able to learn thi* is the only mac>i now in use in the United States that •was used here before the Revolution. t • During the Po'oiutionary War it wa* taken by British sympathizers. From the time the mace disappeared from the old State House jn Charles Town, now Charleston, only a few knew where it was, but when in 1819 Hon. L. Chevs.s. of South Carolina Went to Philadelphia as president of the Bank of the Unite.! States, he found it m a vault of the bank and re turned "It to South Carolina. Another thing of interest is the clock of the House. It is said that when the Negroes were in power, the dock was out of order and every day a bill was passed to get money to have the dock repaired. The money received from the bills was divided among the Negro Representatives. One of the Negroes thinking tha|. he Ala^rife MOTHEk:~Flet- cheris G&storia is : * pecialfy prepared to re lieve Infants in arms and Children all ages of Constipation, Flatu- allayinfc Feverishness arising.-> and Bowels, aids the natural sleep. t 4Z#¥%eZZ was not receiving his share intx*oduc- ed a%»U to buy each of- the merabers a watch. Among the pictures of noted, men thkt hang on the wail are these of Lee, Jackson and Wilson. From the House of Representatives we were taken by Mr. SaWoy through the Senate and Confederate Relic Room and were told about the differ r ent statutes and tablets of the Capi tal. .!’ ■ The Sward of State in the Senate corresponds to the mace in the House of Representatives. This sword of silver was made in Charles Town and purchased for # the presiding governor and all succeeding governors of. the Commons House of Assembly of South Carolina. After the govern irient of Lord Proprietors was over thrown, the sword was used by His Majesty’s council for South Carolina. When Rutledge became Governor 4>f the State, the Sword of State was used in his inauguration and has ever since, been in constant use in the * \ Senate. • A picture of * the Seal of South Carolina is in the Senate Chamber. n the coat-of-arms side is a pal metto growing on the sea-shobe, erect, and at its baseTs a toVn-up oak with its branches cut off. Just be low the branches of the palmetto are two shields. The one on tba right, has “March 26” inscribed upon it and the one on the left “July 4." Twelve spt.srs, with their points raised, are bound crosswise to the trunk of the palmetto. The band uniting them has the inscription, “Quis S?parabit’’ —“Who will separate?” Under the oak is in^ribed, “Meliorem Lapsn Lcravit,” nelow which7inseription ap pears in large figures “1776.” At the sunlit of the seal are the words “South Carolina,” and at 'tfie bot tom of-the same.. “Aninris Opibasque Pa rati”—“We are prepared in m ; nd and body.” On the reverse ?icle / is a woman walking on a seashoiv covered with swords and daggers. In her light hand she hold*; a laurel branch and in her left the folds qf her roV*. She is looking towaids the sun which is just rising above thi*. sea. At thb top of the seal are' the words “Dum Spiro Spero”—“While 1 brei^^I Hope"—and within the field below the figure is inscribed the word “Spes”— “Hope.” While in the Senate we saw pic tures of Calhoun, Butler* and Kc*t)i ■which wr.-e especially miticabV* on I acccount of having been pierced by the bayonets of Federal soldiers. ’ We /then visited the , Confederate Relic Room which contained many things of interest of South Carolina’s part in the war between the States. There were coats of different cap tains and generals, pictures of Lee and Jackson which were engraved in flags of many different Hie ballot of Wade Hamp- • a .. After this Mr. ^Bailey showed us numerous points of ■ interest^: the place where a cannon ball struek tbe Capital, the broken walking stick of Washington’s statute on the steps of the Capital, the tablet of r the Ordinance'of Sadessionjandr.thfe plaster cast of the marble statue of Calhoun that is in Washington. ’ By this time it was two o’clock, the appointed hour for us as Mr. Brown’s guests to have dinner at the Jeffer son—one of the finest hotels ir the State. After dinner we,went; to the peni- tentiairy^ . The warden made us walk in pairs, as if we were prisoners our selves. The cells were small, dark and dreary. We were not allowed to go into the chair factory, but were shown the excellent products in the show room. In the death house are the electric chair, in which tome members of our party had the novelty of sitting, and the tables upon whieh the b'-dies are cooled. We roxt went t** th? State Hospital which seemed almost l»ke heaven af ter the; Penitentiatry. The rooms are airy, large and bright. Several times during the week they have mov ing pictures and on Sunday religious services. The patients here are hap py, and the pretty, well kept grounds afford them much pleasure. The State Hospital was the last place that we wqre able to visit, for on account of bad roads we had to leave early. On the road the day’s pleasures and joy« were talked over many times, and home was reached just as darkness was descending. . We all think our capital a capital capital and believe, as has been stat ed, that our Capital is the handsomest South of Washington! We trust, that all future graduating classes' of - the BlackviHe High School may enjoy the privilege of a visit to Columbia. W<- are indebted to Col. Harry D. Cal- Columbia on suggesting the trip, and Ed gar A. Brown we are aBso grateful for the day of pleasure and instruc tion that he gave ui and hope that he will be in politics when wer--.are twenty-one.

Added to this great volume are all the steam plants .that the central towns, which m the past, have been the sole source of electric supply. By this modern arrangement, these steam equipments will be held in reserve, to be, used as auxiliaries, to be operated only at very Infrequent intervals, when repairs may be needed'to the water wheels, or other branches of the service. , > ■ ■ / ! ♦ • - • v . *. .’♦i• • s >:,./.*% .• v '* To anticipate future needs, and provide for the boundless coirunenrial 'j|j»d agricultural activi ty already awakened m this section, the Augusta-Aiken Railway and "Electric Corporation hss re cently completed a physical connection at Toceoa, Georgia, with the Ihnitles^ supply of hydro power generated in the ftvd> States of Tennessee; Alabama, Georgia.
