SOUTH CAROLINA PROUD
OF MAGNOLIA GARDENS
CHARLESTON. S. C., April l*e.
All Americans are familiar with
Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon
and most of the other Seven Won
ders described by Baedeker. One
of the most beautiful of these Won
ders, however, is known to compar
atively few of our millions of citi.
zens. This is the famous Magnolia
and Middleton Gardens near Char
leston and Summerville, South Car
olina.
Up the winding Ashley River,
these two fairy gardens, both in
ternationally famous, have been the
mecca for flower lovers for over
225 years. With their hunderds of
acres, landscaped and planted by
scores of slaves working through
two decades, they present a verit
table dreamland.
Delicate wistarias come to the
ground from 75 to 100 feet high.
In addition, dogwood, laurel, bay,
spirea, syrlnga, and jessamine a
bound, with cherry, holly and cedar
trees. Most lovely of all, however,
are thb azaleas which in the vil
lage of Summerville and in the
nearby Magnolia and Middleton
Gardens form a colorful spectacle,
culminating in "Azalea Week" us
ually the latter part of March,
which brings thousands of specta
tors by special trains or in private
parties.
' Near Summerville are also the
Cypress Gardens where one is pol
ed by guides through an impen
etrable water forest of giant cyp
ress trees. These gardens are at
their very best from February
through April.
In Summerville, surrounding the
famous Pine Forest Inn, once more
open to the public, also are gardens
of Azaleas and Wisteria covering
many acres. It was to Pine For
est Inn that Presidents Theodore
Roosevelt and Taft came during
itheir administrations when ihey
visited the beautiful gardens.

CCC BUYS HEROES
Play Major Role in Flood
Cleanup and Rehabilitation
Outstanding heroes of the March
floods which swept a dozen states in
the Esst Were members of the Civi
lian Conservation Corps.
Called into the field as quickly as
flood waters reached the crast, the
young forest workers served as spec
ial policemen and since have played
a major role in the task of cleaning
up and rebuilding.
Besides, an army of a quarter mil
lion WPA workers are engaged in
general rehabilitation efforts in the
flood area. These men, too, helped to
get hundreds of families out of the
flood zone.
Boys Living In Towns
Thousands of the COC enrollees,
moving into cities and towns from
their forest camps, are living in public
buildings while they help private res
idents to clean and disinfect their
premise*.
They also ha\% helped to remove
millions of cubic yards of mud from
streets of cities and towns and coun
try roads.
Later these youths will return to
the forests to repair damage done by
the floods to their own camp* and to
roads the yhad built.
Typical of the service given dur
ing the flood is the case of Irwin L.
Mericle and John J. Sefiasek, mem
bers of a corps near Johnstown, Pa.
These men, operating the camp ra
dio set, kept Johnstown in communi
cation with the outside world when
that city was inundated.
Letter From Secretary
To each 'nan went this note from
Secretary War Dern.
"When ar communication with the
outside world was cut off as a result
of serious flood conditions, you,
through your devotion to duty, kept
ycur station continuously open for a
period of 20 hours and were the sole
means of communication with the
outside world.
“I am pleased to commend you on
the excellen* manner in which you
so promptly furnished information to
the War Department. The radio work
performed by you—has been of mate
rial assistance in the prompt render
ing of aid to victims of the flooded
areas.’*

TALMADGE AVOIDS
POUTICS IN HIS
DARIEN ADDRESS
SAVANNAHIANS TAKE
PART IN 200TH ANNIVER
SARY SEACOAST TOWN
DARIEN, Ga., April 16 (TP)—
Just 200 pears ago a clan or two of
Scotch highlanders emigrated from
Inverness and settled 50 miles south
of Savannah, Ga., At first they call
ed their town New Inverness. Then
they changed it to Darien. During
the war the little town was destroyed
by the march of Union General Sher
man. Rich in tradition and history
of early colonial and civil war days.
Darien boasts the names of many a
Georgia pioneer among its files. There
was Lachlan Mclntosh, Raymond De
Mere, Francis Hopkins and George
Threadcraft. Today the descendants
of these men and many others are
pouring into Darien to celebrate the
200th anniversary of its founding.
Governor Gene Talmadge will lead
the witnesses to the great pageant
and a panoramic of the Battle of the
Bloody Marsh.
Governor Talmadge spoke at noon
today on the colorful and rich his
toric background of Darien. He oere
fully avoided any utterances of a
political nature. There were a num
ber of political observers in attendance,
alert to hear anything he might say
subsequent to the action of the state
democatic executive committee in At
lanta yesterday. His address, however,
was likely an academic cne.
Judge Alexander R. Mac Donnell,
who will plap the leading role in the
pageant celebrating the bicentennial
of Darien, today, at 8 o’clock this
morning by motor for the historic
little city.
Accompanying Judke Mac Donnell
were Mrs. Mac Donnell, their daughter,
■■ jTfc&. D.ugeant. was writen bp Miss
Bessie Lewis and is called the ‘‘Spirit
of Atlanta.’’ It depicts in gorgeous
scenes the founding of the town in
the days of Oglethorpe and its sub
sequent history through colorful years.
J. Randolph Anderson also left for
Darien at an early hour this morning.
I-Ie is scheduled to follow Governor Eu
gene Talmadge in an address this
rfternocn. Miss Ruth Blair, state
historian, is the other speaker on the
civic program.
The 118th Field Artillery Band, will
play a concert as its contribution to
the celebration of the two hundredth
anniversary of the town this after
noon. Accompanied by members of
the artillery, the band headed for
Darien this morning and will remain
until after midnight to assist with
the entertainment.
Many Sevannahian will witness the
pageant end take part in the day’s
festivities. Roads between Savannah
and Darien were crowded this morn
ing with cars going south. The trip
is a home-coming for most of the
visitors, as a great many of them were
born and brought up In Darien or
trace their ancestry to the Scotch
Highlanders, who established the
original colony on this site. Mrs. D.
M. Boggs, who spent her girlhood in
Darien and who was married in the
historic Presbyterian church there,
left this morning accompanied by
her two daughters, the Misses Eliza
beth and Catherine Boggs. Dr. and
Mrs. C. D. Meldrim, Mrs. Lillian Sin
clair, and Mrs. Hunter Wynne are
others spending the day there.
DOCTOR ASKS WHISTLER
TO PAINT HIS DOOR
LONDON, April 16—Whistler had
a French poodle of which he was ex
travagantly fond. This poodle was
seized with an affection of the throat
and Whistler had the audacity to
send for the great throat specialist,
Sir Marell Mackenzie. The latter
when he discovered that he had been
called to treat a dog, didn't like it
much. But he said nothing. He pre
scribed, picketed a big fee and drove
away.
The next day, Doctor Mackenzie
sent post haste for Whistler, who,
thinking he was summoned on some
matter connected with his beloved
dog, dropr/.d his work and rushed
like the wind to the Mackenzie home.
On his arrival, Sir Morell said, grave
lq: "How do you do, Mr. Whistler.
I wanted to see you about having my
front door painted.”

tims.
The miner, Anthony Denovage,
was found critically injured after
an explosion boomed through the
deep pits of the Buttonwood Col
liery outside Wilkes-Barre. Police
who investigated the blast said
Denovage undoubtedly set off the
charge which eventually snuffed out
his life.
Puzzled by the miner’s strange
act, police probed into the man’s
background. Today they announced
that statements made by Denovage
before his suicide linked him close
ly, to the Good Friday bombings.
Authorities say it is possible that
Denovage either sent the lethal
“Easter gift" packages or was in
volved in the plot.
The third victim o£ the bombings
died early today. He was the form

loney. Maloney was wounded when
he opened a package which resemb.
led a box of cigars. Maloney’s baby
son was killed by the explosion and
his daughter was injured seriously.
In another of the Wilkes-Barre

DOLLAR THEFT
NEW YORK, April 16 —(TP)—
Nine men sat under the glare of
flood lights today while a ring of
Secret Service men, Department of

sleight-of-hand theft of $590,000 in
treasury notes. The notes were
snatched fro mthe teller’s cage of a
Wall Street bank in 1934. The thieves

recovered with the arrest of the nine
suspects. G-men think other men
were implicated in the plot. They
