The Camp Of Prof. Reass and ..ss Boys.

ID.
Prof. Henry p. Boggs and his pupils,
who have been camping in the noun
tains for some time, arrived in Walhalla
last Monday evening on his way back
to his home at Seneca. Speaking of the
trip Prof. Boggs said:
"We are just back from the noun
tains. We had good time and profit
able one. All the boys improved in ap-
pearance and in vigor. There wasa good
deal of wet weather and we were out in
some of it, but did not have cold or
sore throat in the camp. One or two of
the boys had slight falls and bruises, bu,
there was no serious mishap. One of tho
Savannah boys fell out of Georgia into
North Carolina (at Alioott's Rock), and
says, judging from the force of the fall,
there Is big difference between the two
States. We had three Savannah boys,
' Catesby Jones, Charles Maclean and Wal
ter Boyd; two from Columbia, Wingate
and Elmar Waring, and one from Ander-
son, Basil Vandiver. The boys measured
at beginning and close of camp averaged /:
Growth, 3.S inch; increase in weight,
2 Id pounds; increase in normal chest
measure, 12 inch; in chest expansion,
5.8 inch, We closed our outing by
walking from Horse Cove to Walhalla
between $50 a. m. and p. m. Just time
enough to catch our train"

A. ooonee n's Brother HOnorod in Texas

The Bastrop (Texas) Advertiser, of Au.,
gust 18th, contains the official vote of
Bastrop county. Among the candidates
elected was G. Chalmers for County
Treasurer. He is brother OF Thos. Y.
Chalmers of this county. The Adver-
tiser thus speaks of Mr.. Chalmers and
his election:
Gin the race before the Democratic
primaries, held Saturday, July 2Sth, 1900,
County Treasurer G. Chalmers led the
ticket, with handsome majorities, re-
ceiving more votes than any other oandi-
dates running without opposition; more
than any two or three candidates for the
Same office, and II votes more than the
combined vote of the four candidates for
Governor, which furnishes further addi-
tional proof that the 'old man who, in
prepared speech delivered at the
Organ ovation, said when the good
citizens of Bastrop county put up such
young men as Will e. Orgain for office,
this here old man certainly knows ex-
actly how to vote,' is pretty favorably
known over the county himself, and If
he was half as we'll known over the
state as over Bastr0p county, who knows
how soon he would be entrusted with the
handling of the States money. A natu-
raj winner Of friends and votes, ever
faithful TO every trust, genial and cour-
teous In disposition, charitable, honest
and true, would prove Watchdog of
the State Treasury, as of Bastrop County
Treasury, and the Advertiser suggests
three cheers, with the hat thrown high
in the air, to that fine 'old man. our
popular County Treasurer, @. Chalmers"
