THE SANDERSVILLE HERALD.
Led by the Goddess of Liberty ; Guided by the Star of Bethlehem.
ESTABLISHED IN 1841.
SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, JUNE 21, 1906.
Per Year.
PICNIC AT TYBEE.
A party of four hundred and
fifty Washington county people,
consisting of teachers, pupils and
patrons of the public schools, en
joyed a short season of rare pleas
ure at Tybee and Savannah Wed
nesday and Thursday June Oth
mid 7th. Preparations had been
made beforehand by Mr. Wade
Wood, county Superintendent,
who went to Savannah a month
ago for this purpose.
A special train had been engaged
for the exclusive use of this party.
The train, which consisted of nine
coaches, left Tennille at 7:86,
Wednesday morning. Having
f c w stops to make on the way, the
trip through to Savannah and re
turning was much pleasanter than
it would have been on a regulur
train. Upon arrival at Savannah
at 11 ;80 the people were immedi
ately transferred by street cars to
the Tybee station, and reached
Tvbeo Hotel in time for dinner.
The low, Hat land- on the way
from Savannah to Tybee are of
delta formation, or are made up
of soil washed down by the Savan
nah river and the arms or branch
es of the river winding in or out
through the sea weeds form lovely
pictures, which the children view-
mi with eager interest, and delight
Perhaps no part, of the experience
was more interesting to them.
After the most welcome lunch,
the party scattered here and there
on the beach, the larger number
of them going into the surf.
High tide was in late in the after
noon and this made the baching
excellent,, Members of the party
who could not go in the surf, or
whose peculiar sense of propriety
forbade their doing so, looked on
with eager enjoyment. Persons
who have not reveled in the de
lights of surf bathing can hardly
appreciate what they have missed.
Two or three hundred happy peo
ple amid the spray of gently roll
ing waves on a snow-white beach
make a pretty and interesting pic
ture. The little fellows who went
into the surf were surprised to
find the saft water very briny. The
rest of the afternoon was passed
bv the party in hunting shells,
resting in the cool breezes and
watching the waves on the sand.
Many of the party saw during the
evening what they never before
saw and what many of them will
never see again, perhaps—the
moon rise, as it were out of the
“briny deep.” To one who lias
never seen this charming picture,
no words can give a true concept
ion—it must he seen to know and
love its beauty; and one who sees
it never forgets. Waves would
roll on the neacli like coils of
shining silver, and as they dashed
on the sand, would break into
spray that mingled with the soft
rays of crystal light. It was a
feast for mind, heart and soul;
the contemplative mind seeing the
sublime majesty of God’s foot
prints in nature, could but ex
claim: “How wonderful and
grand is His law which rules the
land and sea!”
There were many amusing inci
dents in the trip. One little boy
•said to the writer, as we approach
ed the seashore on the train, “The
creek is pretty full today.” His
simple little mine was not prepar
ed for the wonderful revelation,
hut the wealth of ideas which he
gained from the delightful experi
ence will perhaps give material
for growth in the years to come.
Our journey through the city
the following morning was equal
ly interesting. First, we saw the
City Hall, one of the handsomest
buildings in the South. From
the City Hall, which stands on
the bluff near where Oglethorpe
landed in 1788, we went through
the market. The city has one cen
tral market, where all the people
get their vegetables and meats.
The visit proved instructive.
Next we went to and through parts
of the United States Custom
House and post office building
then for a short journey about the
business section, and through his
toric spots about Bull Street.
Returning to the City Hall, we
went to the wharves of the Ocean
Steamship Company, where the
largest and newest passenger ship
°f this company was seen. “The
City of Columbus” is little less
than a “floating palace” and its
inspection proven highly enter
taining and instructive to the
children and others who had not

been “aboard ship.” Big as
the boat seemed, few of us were
prepared to believe that it would
carry six thousand tons, or twelve
million pounds, of freight and
passengers. T lie children were
much interested seeing o tug boat
carry two large barges of cotton
in compressed bales. Seeing va
rious other kinds of feight being
loaded oil the vessels, gave our
visitors some idea of the business
done at a sea-port city. We could
not take the time to leiyn all that
we might have learned with long
er time.
Mr. W ood had planned an ex
cursion to Bonaventure and Thun
derbolt, and we hurried to the
electric cars. If wo can think of
a cemetery in this way, Bonaven
ture is one of the most beautiful
“cities of the dead” in this coun
try, but wo did not have the time
to go through it. The children
were almost charmed with the ride
in open air excursion cars through
the lovely scenery on the way out.
Near Thunderbolt, great heaps of
oyster shells were piled, and the
childrnn saw them with open-eyed
wonder. Time was out, so we re
turned to the city and took a good
lunch at the Union station.
Just a few words as to the effects
of such an outing: Rightful en
joyment and pleasure have large
office in tho formation of true
character. This experience gave
more than amusement and pleas
lire; it gave new conceptions of
life and wider comprehensions of
the world in which we live—to
those who went with us, our lives
are no longer bound about by the
narrow circles and beaten paths of
former surroundings, but we now
seo beyond out into the great
moving world of activity and in
dustry, then tho coining together
of so large a number of our own
people will broaden our appreci
ation of our people at home—our
neighbors in the county. Again
tho educational value of the learn
ing acquired will prove ail inspi
ration and power in the lives of
many.
Any member of the party might
well have felt proud of their home
county both.the railroad officials
and the hotel men said that they
had nover seen a more orderly and
good-natured class of people.
Each member of the party seemed
bent upon the greatest pleasure of
each other member. The writer
never heard a harsh word spoken
throughout the trip. Our party
made us a splendid reputation
and we are proud of them. A.
happier, more cheerful crowd of
people were never assembled on
occasions like this. We regret
that space and lack of words will
not allow us to give a more extend
ed and hotter account of the pic
nic at Tybee and Savannah, the
memories of which will long lin
ger in refreshing sweetness.

“WHERE WAS
RODERICK THEN.”
And this reminds us that at the St.
Louis convention in 1904 Congressman
Hardwick was tireless in his efforts to
get into the national platform a decla
ration in favor of a repeal of the fif
teenth amendment, or something look
ing to that end, and he had the pack
ing of the editor of The Telegraph,who
was a delegate to that canvention ; but
if he hud any encouragement from Mr.
Gray, of The Atlanta Journal, who was
also a delegate, or from Mr. Hoke
Smith, who, like Mr. Hardwick, was
an active worker on ths outside of the
convention, we never heard of it. So
far as we ever knew. Congressman
Hardwick and the editor of The Tele
graph were the only men there from
Georgia who favored the scheme.—Ma
