sense "Sister May' was sixteen. they
have bin alone together. The mother
is a feeble little critter and "Sister
Mays" devotion to her is the pur-
tiest site I ever seen.
Well, my friend shore did give me
a fine time. She tuck me mitey nj awl
over Greenville on the street kyars.
I've rid on them things before-sev-
eril yeers ago when I was in Shar-
lot-but I don't reckin I'll ever see
! the time that I can ride on 'em with
out feelin kinder curis.
Jest to see them things go tarrin
up ana down the streets without a
sine Of horse hitched to 'em is enuff
to make the creeps Grail up and down
a pursins spinel collum, and to be on
won when it's a doin it, is somethin
else. I don't like to show my iener-
ance III a croud. and I wouidn't t let
on to "Sister May that l was skeer-
ed within an inch Of my life, but /
secretly chung to my sect with deth
grip, and tride to summon cool, cam,
and indifferent expression to my
countenance.
Won time I thought fur shore we
was a goin to glory, or to the other
place 'cordin to our deservin, fur I
seen a thing comm like ltnin down
the street a meetin us, and snortin
defiance rite in the face of our kyar.
And, law sakes! it was rid by fore
purity gals with their hare flyin- in
the air, and they didn't pear to be
skeered mite I shore thought they
was goin to run rite square into us.
but jest as I give a screech of horror
and dismay, the thing skooted rite
out to won side and we was awl safe.
Soon as I cud speek I axed "Sis-
ter May" what that thing was and
she sed it was a orterbeamule. [
told her it shore had orter be a mule
stiddy of dare devil kind Of a crit
ter like that, fur a mule woodn't a
tuck them gals rite into the jaws of
deth like that thing did. No, sir! no
a little about mules and J. haint nev-
er seen won yet that wood rushed
rite up on a street kyar frunt end
foremist.
Well, I visited lots Of interestin
places in Greenville, and will try and
tell sumthin about sum Of 'em.
Reedy River Falls is a purity place
and is among the grandest Of Matters
wild scenery. 1t ain't more'n five min
its wawk fro1G the bizziest section OF
the city. It was here that in 1776,
Richard Paris bilt his historic mill
but romanse has bin swept aside by
modern progress, fur here air now To-
Gated the Cemperdown Cotton Mills.
The old mill It reckin it is Parises)
is still a standin, its CRATE warter
wheel idle and lookin like a seminal
at post Of duty.
Sitiwated on the West McBee ave
new, in a purity grove of native oke
trees, stands the First Baptist church
"a stately house Of warship with
crate massive collums and tall steeple.
It can set down 1900 people and has
got the finest pipe origin in awl S. c.
The church was established in No
vember, 1881, with ten members.
Then there's the Greenville Female
College, Baptist institution. 1t was
founded in 1919, but never got its
present name till the yeer 1916. It is
on College street; the grounds air
large and roomy and the bildin is
commodious, stately and imposin. Its
dormytary will 'commerdate 3OO pu-
pills, and the big auditoram has got
won Of the sweetest soundin pipe or
gins in that part Of the country.
I believe that upper Name street is
the purtiest residence section that
seen. On this street is the CRATE
moneyment, erected to the mIemery OF
them that lost their lives in the civil
war. Two CRATE big cannons gard this
sacred spot.
The Suthern R. R. Depo is a mitey
big hansum bildin in keepin with the
stile and progress Of that hustlin city
IIt is complete in awl its derange'
ments fur the cumfert and convent
ence Of the ;ravelin publick. 1t shore
is a whopper.
