■ Little Journey X, This is the first news Mrs. O. A. Felker will have as to the culprit who took two azaleas from her greenhouse Sunday. I was seeking a pink variety and saw two in bud which I thought would do, so brought them along to await the blooms. If they turn out all right, will sneak in again another Sunday and get • the rest of what I need. The 50 or 75 purchased from Mrs. Felker last autumn bloomed profusely in spite of unfavor able weather and have been greatly enjoyed. Of the sev eral varieties at Gildercrest the old reliable Formosas, Co ral Bells and Summervilles are still the favorites. Neighborhood News i .ui * * This Sunday morning jaunt brought me back by the home of Dave Caldwell. I had heard much about Dave’s place but was not prepared for what I saw. The 500 or more camel lias were mostly out of bloom but azaleas by the hundred blazed from beds and group ings about the grounds. Dave is one of that growing company of men who love pretty things that grow from the ground. He has put some nine years of thought and la bor into his place, plus a good bit of money. The money an gle, however, fades into in significance after you have toured the place, for you see on every hand what can be wrought with careful planning and a steady application of elbow grease. Dave’s nice home, banked with a rainbow of azaleas, is built on the sid e of the crest of a hill, and the eight or ten acres of ground sweep in grace ful contour, interrupted here and there with beds of azaleas and other blooming plants. Camellias are everywhere and dogwood casts a silvery sheen throughout the thickly-wooded grounds. There are only a few things in the catalog not to be found somewhere on the Caldwell grounds Tulips roses, glads, hycinths, iris, daffodils, and dozens of other flowers. Shrubs of every description including a very fragrant camphor tree, a beautiful shrub and rare in these parts. Dave is also a horticulturist of parts He roots and grafts azaleas and camellias and brings them to planting size in growing-beds. I had only a short time with Dave At another time I in tend to get some worthwhile information on varieties, cul ture and so on for my own information and to pass along to others through this column. Dave enjoys having people out there who ^appreciate growing things. Then I am going again when I hope he is not at home. I want to tramp around there with no voice to break the stillness other than the voice of the pines—the voice that was old when Samuel heard it—the voice which will go _pn speaking to men until the cur tain rings down on earth’s last scene. If I get lyrical about nature it is because it is the only re ligion I have; the only re ligion I find necessary. In fact, the only religion I can reconcile with the world I live in. It teaches me more of man. mor e of good than all the sages can. It creates for me an atmosphere in which I can hear the still, small voice. There is no second-hand revelation in nature. It is to day what it has always been, what it will always be. There is much conjecture among the negroes as the big ditching machines push the sewer trenches through Can non Town, Starvation Hill, Chinch Bug alley, or what have you. One old negro told me the town was going to build him a privy and put a commode in it. He wanted it inside his house but said the town wouldn’t do that. Superintendent Bill Wise should “write a piece to the paper” and set them straight. Negroes, and whites too, have been so accustomed to the government doing for them that they have lost all capacity or desire to do for themselves. Those within 200 feet of the new sewer lines should know that sooner or later they will have to connect to them—and at their own expense.

Newberry County’s 1949 Can cer Drive got off to a good start this week. Contributions have been coming in very fine and the workers claim an un usual interest by those ap proached in behalf of this drive. A quota of $3,000 had been set for the entire county of Newberry as its share in this movement. “In this fight against can cer,” said Chairman Kelly, “it is difficult to say that we have a certain share. We have been told that this community is expected to raise a minimum of $3,000. But no man can say this is ‘our’ share. In stead, I belive in a cause such as this, only our absolute best is to be expected.” There will be no door to door solicitation in this impor- tarit drive, it was announced. When the good people of Newberry County stop and think of the following facts, they will open their hearts to this cause. In Newberry Coun ty last year, there were 19 deaths from cancer, while in the entire state there were 1373 deaths from cancer. Newberry was most fortunate in having no deaths from polio and only two from T.B. So when we stop to think about the lives that caneer is taking, we will feel mere like cooperating with this movement. Even though we shall have no door to door solicitation, we hope to • make it possible for everyone in this area to have the opportunity of giving to th« cancer drive. Contribu tions may be sent to Mrs. David Ringer, the former Miss Parnell Fellers, at Carpenters, who is serving as treasurer of the drive. However, individu als who are working in various paces of business in Newberry are asked to wait until their representative approaches them and give through the organi zation. Otherwise, send in the contribution to Mrs. Ringer. . x. this year ... the girl graduate is hoping for a Meets In Capitol The Third Annual Meeting of the South Carolina Obstetri- ca and Gynecological Society will be held at the Columbia Hotel in Columbia Monday, April 11th, beginning at 11:00 o’clock a.m. An official invitation has been extended by Dr. J.

Tours Planned In Fabled Fairfield A red-letter day will arrive for Winnsboro and Fairfield Friday, May 13, 1949, when a number of old homes and other points of interest will be open ed to the public for an hi*, torical tour which natives hope to make second only in scope to the famed tours • held by the Natchez (Miss.) Historical Foundation. Plans are being laid to hold in conj unction with this one day impressive tour, a mammoth historical pageant, depicting the colorful history of Fairfield County from the days of the exploited Redmen to the jet-propelled, a tom,fear ing present. The pageant will run on three consecutive nights Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day. One of the highlights of the tour will be a visit to “Hey ward Hall,” located in Wes tern Fairfield, a spot well- known to lovers of art, history and beauty. Originally built by Captain James Kincaid, about 1775, on a tremendous land grant bestowed on him by King George III, the large two story mansion is construc ted of brick made in Eng land and brought from Charles ton by ox-cart. Fashioned after the traditional English style, with porticos at the entrance, unusual brick railing, elaborate ornamentation, hand - carved (Adam) mantels, solid mahog any stairways, the house is in deed Vi show place of distinc tion. No less appealing is the approach to this beautiful old mansion. The landscaping is unique, with seven terraces running from the house to the river, and gardens boasting at least 1200 boxwood plants, stat uary and sundials collected from various European coun tries. The long series of gran ite steps quarried from this region of the world renowned Blue Granite lead to the river below.
