the dusty tourists into the parIOr Oh
the hotel. There the scouts stood in
line, and for ten minutes they held
a reception while the principal citizens
were presented to them in turn.
Meantime a fine banquet had been
prepared in the dining room. Captain
F. S. Evans presided at the head OF
the board with Major John 8. Cohen,
Of The Journal on the right. Several
courses were served and when cigars
were lighted the scouts gave three
cheers for Greenwood and Capt. Evans
responded and reciprocated by pro-
posing cheers for the New York Her
aid and The Atlanta Journal.
CONVICTS IN AUTOS.
Leaving Greenwood at forty-five
minutes past four, the scouts departed
with many mutual exchanges of good
wishes. Again they found that spe-
ciaI work upon the roads had been
done in anticipation Of their coming.
Earlier in the day fifteen convicts un-
der a foreman had been sent out
from Greenwood in a White Steamer
and other automobiles at every point
along the road up to the county line
where had holes or washouts APP
peared the convicts in their striped
garbs and shackeled legs tumbled out
of the automobile in which all Of
them were riding for the first time
in their lives and got to work with
pick and shovel mending the imper-
fections in the roadway.
One of these convict bands was pho
tographed while at work and from
that point the run into Newberry was
good except for the blockade at the
bridge already described.
Despite the detour the hospitable
shelter of Newberry was reached
before the storm broke serious over
the scouts devoted heads and they
had finished one day entirely without
a wetting.
