LILACS
(By Mrs. Anna Pearsall)
They nod and bend to me
And through their blooms I see
A garden filled
With sweetness of the spring.
A quaint old-fashioned door
Whose steps I cross no more
And memories half-forgotten.
Back they bring.
The old house near the street
Where the brook and river meet
And the willows nodding ever—
To the spring.
And thoughts of by-gone spring
These purple lilacs bring
And memories dear and distant
As a dream.
Mrs. D. W. Tayler has returned to

A Soldier and The
News and Courier
Next month will be the seventy-fifth anniversary of Captain
Francis W. Dawson’s coming into the family of The News and
Courier. His is the story of a Briton who brought us aid, another
of that great clan who do not give up in adversity.
The News and Courier wishes at this time and on this anniversary
to recall this Englishman was willing to relinquish his family in
order to fight for the South, and then, in defeat, to abandon hi*
native country forever to help rebuild a stricken area.
Captain Dawson’s life and works are of romance and powerful
action. He came to the Confederate states as a sailor when there
was no other way to get to the fighting South. Once here, he
sought the thick of the battle, was thrice wounded and once
captured.
From war he came to Charleston in the midst of the Reconstrue
tion conflict, carpetbag and negro rule; then Hampton and
followed, and the earthquake and Tillman upheaval. He found
time for Quieter things, to lead in the movement to bring the
mills to the cotton, to sponsor the reintroduction of tobacco in
South Carolina, to serve eight years on the Democratic national
committee, to sway the votes that, gave Grover Cleveland the nom
ination, to organize the South Carolina Press Association.
Captain Dawson and his associates healed the wounds of two
battered newspapers, The Courier and The News, welded them
together and introduced modern journalism into South Carolina.
Today some of Th« News and Courier family are on English soil,
fighting, as Captain Dawson did, for a cause.
