A. Glorious Victory for the ORA

ssAnd pity tits It's true
that the Centre Spring picnic
is not to be but Aas been. Look.
ing forward has given place
to looking backward. Thous.
ands of pleasant anticipations,
{ f many months standing,
have been fully realized and
are now cherished as fond
recollections. Friends who
for years have travelled in di-
verging paths were brought
together; relatives whose lots
have been cast miles apart
were clasped in each others
fond embrace; lovers whose
lips had uttered protestations
Of affection plighted anew
their troths and bashful, blush
ing lads and lasses whose
hearts had for the first time
felt the indescribable thrill
and heaven-born bliss of Gu
pid's first touch were afford
ed a trysting place in this the
crowning social event of the
year. These occasions, of
which the 18th annual picnic
was the chiefestamong them,
have become to many a social
necessity.
Scarcely before last Thurs
day mornings sun had clear
ed the eastern hills hundreds
Of representative people of all
ages had set out upon their
annual pilgrimage to t h i s.
shrine of pleasure, known as
Centre Spring, all with light
and happy hearts. And their
most sanguine expectations
were realized, for every one
of this gallant troop-from
the worthy and honored Capt.
Iohn r. Blocker down to
those who share not the hon

the host, With this aggrega-
ton of fifty hosts to receive
and entertain the guests, is
there any wonder that all
went smoothly and as merry
as a marriage bell ?
Nature, in abundantly bless
ing this ideal rendezvous for
pleasure seekers, furnished
the green canopy of dense
foliage that parted the fury of
this suns rays, also the re-
freshing breezes and the crys-
tai COMMUNICATIVE Spring
that sent forth in abundance
living water that quenched
the thirst of the throng, but
the Dragons furnished the
sweet strains of music that met
a responsive chord in every
heart and the bounteous re-
past that strengthened and re-
stored the exhausted inner
man. Furthermore, the Dra-
goons furnished the goo d
cheer, the unbou nded, unal-
loyed hospitality which was,
in truth, the very heart, soul
and spirit of the occasion.
The music was dispensed by a
band from Augusta, the best
procurable, and dinner, the
like of which in quantity or
quality is seldom seen, was
the most delightful that has
ever been served upon the
Centre Spring tables. 1t was
we'll cooked, we'll seasoned,
well served and the supply
was inexhaustibIe, Many of
the fifty odd carcasses and
gallons Of the hash had not
been touched after every
mouth had been satisfied. 1t
any guest went away hungry
the fault lies at his door and
is not chargeable to the COM
pany.
The Dragons very thought
fully and generously bade the
Confederate veterans, all who
would come, to be their
guests of honor. Each one
was tagged with a purple
badge which was an open Sc
same to the dinner, refresh
ment stand and pavilion,
These old veterans--God bless
them, every one of them
were made very happy and
enjoyed the day as much as
the gay youngsters, with
whom joy was unconfned.
The dance, in which many
feet--some small and graceful,
others large and clumsy---en-
gagged and on which many ad-
miring eyes gazed, was the
feature of the day. The corr
gested and sufocated, seeth-
ing and perspiring, sweltering
and melting mass of charm

strains Of E'Home Sweet

weary limbs and tired forms.
The fourteenth annual pic
mic has passed into history
and many are the words OF
praise and condemnation that
the Dragons are receiving
upon the signal success OF
this brilliant social function.
All honor to them and may
their achievements for 1904
be even greater !!

Judge VIM. T. Gary is do

With the press, the pulpit and
the bench all up and doing

Gov. Hayward is making a
splendid record in refusing to
grant pardons indiscriminate-
" andin his constant endeavor
tosenforce the laws as he has
sworn to do. He has been a
terror to the blind tigers and
now he is after the lynchers,
having offered $500 reward
for the apprehension OF the
murderers of Dennis Head
who was killed in Aiken coun
ty near the Lexington line
some days ago.

A Flight of Birds.

A fight of birds changed the history
of America under the following circum-
stances: When Columbus sailed west
ward over the unknown Atlantic, he
expected to reach Zipangu Uapan).
After several days sail from Gomera,
one of the Canary islands, he became
uneasy at not discovering Zipangu,
which, according to his reckoning,
should have been PIG nautical miles
more to the east. After long discus
sion he yielded to the opinion OF Mar
tin Alonzo PinZon, the commander OF
the Pinta, and steered to the south
west. PinZon was guided in his opin-
Ion by fight Of parrots toward the
southwest The effect of this change
in his course curiously eXemplifies the
influence of apparently trivial events
in the worlds affairs. Had Columbus
kept his original route he would have
entered the gulf stream, reached the
coast of Florida and then probably
been carried to Cape lIatteras and Vir-
ginia The result would probably have
been to give the present United States
q Roman Catholic Spanish population
instead of Protestant English one, a
circumstance of unreasonable impOr-
tance. Never" wrote Humboldt, had
the flight OF birds more important
consequences" 1t may be said to'have
