Tho Prize Winning Stories by Elizabeth B.-
and Druce L Jones
When the conductor called. "All
aboard," that bright Tuesday morn
ing and the train ,that was to carry
the "Sunshlners'? Am their fourth an
nual trip to Beauiort, jpulled outf
the station amlJ Die namerous good
byes of friends and.J relatives, a
quiver of excitement ran through the,
heart of every, boy and girl to think
that the much-dreamedrof.'long-lookr
ed-for trip had begun.
Notwithstanding the fact that every
body itis royally entertained during
our trip down by;tfitwo great bu
morlstiW . Col. Fred .Olds and Prof.

Beaufort. ; . ' .
r- ve were met at - Beaufort by .a
crowd of boys ".and girls who gave
us a ' warm welcome to their attrac
tive town. Although everybody Was
in a fever to get to their quarters and
get settled, .they could not resist the
temptation of pausing a moment to
look around and get their impressions
of Beaufort. The town la an , Ideal
seaside resort. . .With its wide streets,
beautiful trees, and pretty - homes, it
suggests coolness and rest-as well as
lively tiroes. The girls were com
; fortably housed in: the Masonic Hall,
while-the. boys were quartered in the
- armory. We had Just gotten our
"olaces of habitation" fixed up when
the very welcome call of dinner was
announced, pur dining room, was a
beautiful grove of trees to tne rear
of the irirls' house. And as Colonel
rightfully said: . VI t is the most
beautiful as well as the coolest dining
room in the State.? After , dinner we
went down to the wharf and were
formally introduced to two of our
best friends while in Beaufort: the
two ; large "Sunshine" boats, "Bessie
Helen" and "Neta." In which we en-
Joyed bo many gorgeous sails. The
crowd was stored away equally In the
two boats; and from then on there
sprung up a great rivalry between the
"Bessie Helen's" and the "Nelans."
No one could be too loud, long or flat
tering In sinking the praises of their
boat. At last we were off. And, oh!
the lovs of sailine! The person who
has never ridden , on a sail boat has
still something to live for; for there
is a novelty about it that surpasses
everything. After sailing around for
some time we all, went over to tne
- surf, and many of us enjoyed for the
first time a dip in the "dark bine
. - sea." . ' " . . . " .
That night we all went down on
the : board walk where . all the loving
. couples were Initiated to the best
courtship corners on that promenade.
v : -And -then there followed nine days.
which were crowded to overflowing
with sailing, sight-seeing and bathing.
One of our most Interesting trips was
tocthe United states fish .? laboratory
which proved doubly interesting. First
there was the laboratory Itself with
its scores of sea wonders. Fish of
every- description, turtles, shells and
curious sea grasses. And then there
wast the wireless telegraph station.
and : although we- were not permitted
to-" see the instruments, as all the
actual workings - of the station are
k?pt secret, - Colonel explained it to
us In a very interesting and lnstruc
-live way. ; ; .v.
; The United States cruiser "Prairie
was three miles out" side of the , bar
and Colonel decided to number,;tbJs
among ,our, all ready long list of ?lm
portant signts." s one bright morn
ing we set sal L We were all dressed
in white (I mean the girls of course)
for 'everybody thought we were going
to board the vessel, and naturally all
of "us girls" wanted to appear at our
-best before th sailor lads. The trip
put was flnc -and nobody was sick,
much to our surprise; for the boys
were so sure that the girls were going
to get sick that many of them had up
bets. But we bragged too soon, for
back our progress was drifting j owing
,to a change in tho wind, and in
pite of the fact that v. were rinc-d
to the teeth wrh ehewlnr fium and
I'.mois, many of us partook; for the
il-et tiir.r of th Jeligh;s of the "mal
de mer." And this sick.iess a at in
tensified by the fact that wa di J nt
have a chance to makt eyes a; tfK.
jolly-tars" for after wi made our
rips out there we wero unabls to
ixvard the vessel. , We spent one whole
nurning at the"lfe saving station
which we foiind especially interesting;
ar-C our collection of "hUioricaL facts
. was also greatly increased ;by our trip
tJ the picturesque old Fort Macon. Wc
wound up this delightful day by a
vtiy enjoyable dance over in Morc
ht&d. ."s.-;
. L'ut the three trips that we placed
on the top round of our ladder of g.oI
r times were those to 'Leckler5s Island,
Wade's Shore and the Soldiers' Camp.
The trip to Leckler's Island was in
regular picnic fashion. The Island is
about twelve miles down tho sound
from Beaufort so we were to take
. lunch and spend the day. We had
:.an ideal sail down and passed many
interesting points on the way; one be
ing Barker's Island on which, an old
legend tells us. Manteo, the noted In
dian, was born. This Is certainly a
' strong contradiction to the. accepted
fact about Mateo's birthplace. His
torians look to your facts! The island
.Js large, and has an abundance of
beautiful shade. It is owned by Mr.
Denning, a millionaire who has built
a lovely winter home on it. The peo
ple who bare charge of the place in
the summer; were very kind and hos
pitable to us and we spent a delight
ful day, especially the boys, for there
was a whole. house full of pretty. girls
over there.- . - '
Everybody; however, voted our Jaunt
to Wade's Shore the finest of all our
stunts." This place Is the great pic
nic ground of that region. All the
Beaufort people take their, outings at
this, place, and no small ?1vbnder! For
when you land you think that yon
have discovered a small, tmradlso. As
we stepped off our boats on onevsido
of us stretched the sound sparkling
In the sunlight. On the 'Other sldH
stood a .large grove of magtilneen?
trees, whichf Just seemed to invite us
to come and enjoy their shade. As
we neared this modern Eden our eyes
encountered . still more wonderful
things. The foliage Is all semi-tropical
and here and therefore scattered pie
luresque xnaicnea summer nonsra.
And all through this beautiful spot
there are paths made shady and cool
by the masses of vines running over
the tree tops. Indeed, they look very
much like the typical "Iover's Lanes,
and it was down one of these we
were walking when suddenly we came
to a huge sandbank. Of course, fired
on by. the spirit of adventure-we had
to climb over it "to see what we could
see." . And much to our surprise on
the other side lay the ocean. The
shore was Just lined with beautiful
shells, so we went down to get some,
but while there saw something far
more interesting than : shells. This
was the wreck of the large vessel
'Thompson," which was wrecked six
years ago. Although large parts or
the ship have either been washed
away or covered up by thesand, one
whole side is still left And as you
stand looking at this- huge monster
rolled over on its side, there seems
to be something very .mysterious
about it And if It could speak I am
sere that it could tell many strange
tales. All too soon e had to leave,
but I am sure it will be a long time
before any of . us will forget our
pleasant trip.
ButO! 1 .am about to forget our
visit to the soldiers' camp, which Is
far. too large to be slighted.. .The boys
were not as crazy about the prospect
of seeing the "soldier, boys" as the
girls were, so they wanted to go some
where else, but at last decided that
they would go over and inspect the
camp,, not the troops. The officers as
well as the privates, treated ua royal
ty. They showed us all over their
camp and even asked us to stay to
dinner with them, but to our keen dis
appointment we had to leave.
Now these are by no means all of
the things that we did or saw, for
I hare scarcely mentioned the good
times we had at night on the board
walk and in Beaufort I am afaid.if
I should undertake to tell, even if I
could, everything that' happened, I
should have & perfect upak on my
hands.
When Thursday, the day set for
leaving, came, there was much mourn
ing in"camp" for nobody! could bear
to think of leaving. Colonel ?01d
gave us the whole morning to say
good bye to our Beaufort-friends but
from all accounts even that was not
enough, for some of the boys. Every
body was at the station to see us off
and gave us a warm Invitation to come
again. , . . . ' -, ,
On our wsryhome,' In spite of the
fact that everybody was tired and
sleepy (for we did not ,reach. Raleigh
until midnight), Prof, winder Harris
and his "Band of Night Owls" gave
us such a delightful concert, of which
the favorite numbers were, "The
Bear went over the Mountain" and
"Hundred Battles," that It was impos
sible for any one to run, the risk of
missing any of it by going to sleep.
At last "Raleigh" was -called and I
think everybody was glad to be home
again, although we had a tiptop trip.
Now I would Ukje to say Just one
word about - the people of Beaufort:
Certainlyano people in ... the . world
could have been kinder to' us than
they were. Every one seemed to vie
with each other In their, kindness to
us, and I hope they. feel. In no small
degree how much we appteclate it
Since the first outing of the Sun
shiners at the seashore inl 904, they
have looked forward from one sum
mer to the next anxiously awaiting
the time for their next trip.
Many of the Bunshiners have the op
portunity of visiting other points
along the seashore , and among the
mountains in; the summer, but. noth
ing means so much to them as their
annual visit to Beaufort
Their fondness for their leader. Col.
Olds, "The chief or sport lovers," and
the friend of the young folks; their
attachment to one anothv7" the loca
tion of Beaufort; and 'the freedom
with which they are allowed to en
Joy themselves, make this the one
event of the year.

There Is no security, save , that
merry Bunshiners In readiness to
board the train bound for the coast
and even at that early hour, there was
not a sleepy eye In the crowd. It
was Interesting to see the many
friends of the band, bidding them
farewell, and "wishing them ten days
of that pleusure and happiness known
only to the young folks who have been
to the seashore under similar circum
stances. v
The train pulled out at 5:15, carry
ing a crowd of the most merry-making
people that ever filled a car.
As the train swept down the road,
the various places of Interest were
pointed out by the chaperone, and all
went well with the exception of a few
home sick headaches, that were more
imaginary than real.
The . train rolled on the bridge at
kforehead at 11:10 that morning,
reaching the Beaufort end at 11:22,
taking twelve minutes to cross. We
had our baggage In shape by 1:30 and
were ready for dinner. I will not try
to describe this dinner, but will add
that it was one of those meals fa
miliar to most inhabitants of seaside
towns. After dinner we all took the
boats and sailed, over to the beach
and took a surf bath, which was as
beneficial 'as enjoyable.
We had supper about 7:30, and af
ter strolling up and down the board
walk a short while, we retired, being
very tired and sleepy, having spent a
most enjoyable day. The gale was
strong all night and the tune played
by the waves dashing against the
warfs under the windows of the build
ing occupied by the boys, made sleep
all the more enjoyable.
We arose about 7:00 o'clock Wed
nesday morning, had breakfast about
eight and were soon aboard the boats
bound for the U. S. Laf e-Savlng Station
and Port Macon.' While up in the tow
er of the life-saving station we sighted
the U. S. transport ' "Prairie-
headed straight for the channel. It
drew up within about three miles of
shore and anchored. We all Immedi
ately decided to go out to see her,
and were the first ones to greet this
great monster of the sea - the next
morning. Leaving, We went over to
the fort which was but a short dist
ance, and after observing very care
fully that old historic place, we stroll
ed up and down the beach a little and
sailed back-over to Beaufort for din
ner.
As It was cloudy with occasional
showers that afternoon, we stayed In
very close. Late In the afternoon we
sailed across to the U. S. Laboratory
and wireless telegraphy station. After
spending a couple of hours there care
fully noting specimens of the various
animals that inhabit the seas, we went
back over to Beaufort and went In
bathing. After supper we all board
ed a launch and went over to More
head. There was a great crowd over
there and the occasion was one long
to be remembered. After spending
about two and one half hours at this
place, we started back to Beaufort
By this time the clouds had all clear
ed away and the silvery face of the
full moon was looking down upon us.
It was on this occasion that the
first real singing was heard during
our stay down there. I think some
sang who doubtless had never tried
to sing before. We reached Beaufort
about 12:30 and enjoyed another good
nights sleep.
After breakfast the following morn
ing (Thursday), we took the .boats
and sailed out to the "Prairie" and
after sailing around her .we came back
a rather roundabout way. staying on
the water beyond the bar long enough
to make those sleepy eyes on board
look awfully weak. . and had it not
been for the frequent dashes of cold
water In our faces, I think the whole
crowd would have needed the cam
phor bottle. We stopped at Morehead
to spend a few minutes and then sail
ed back to Beaufort. All on board
were feeling much better when we
landed and they were but few who did
not care for any dinner. As we had no
sailing program arranged for that af
ternoon, most of us stayed, In Beau
fort and took a swim In the Sound.
On Friday morning we had break
fast a little earlier than usual, took
the boats, and Mith some old fashion
ed picnic baskets full of sandwiches,
and with about twenty-five watermel
ons 'on board, we sailed down to
Lechler's Island, about eighteen miles
down the Sound. This place could
well be called the Eden of North Caro
lina. Here are found the most gigan
tic fig trees I ever saw, and ail the
vegetation is unusually large. A man
from Cleveland, Ohio, occupies this
place in winter as a winter resort,
charge of and uses it in summer as
a summer resort ! The shade trees
are live oak and pine. It Is easily
realized that the desire for restful
quiet could be gratified at this place.
After' picnictng at this most pictur
esque place all day we sailed back to
Beaufort arriving there about eight
o'clock. . -
Saturday we again visited the camp
and after spending most of the morn
ing with the soldier boys we sailed
back by Morehead 'to Beaufort arriv
ing there about 1:30 p. m. After an
early supper we went over to More
head to one of the finest balls of the
season. There were present besides
our party nearly, all the officers of

banks of the Amazon. In Jh$ after
noon Col. Olds, with about a dozen of

the time came for us to leave the

When the train came in that after
noon many Beaufort people were
gathered at the depot bidding their
Sunshine friends farewell, and when
the train pulled out at 5:35 the waving
of handkerchiefs and expressions or

high esteem In which the Sunshlners
and their genial leader are held by
the good people of Beaufort
After a pleasant trip we arrived un
der the Union shed about 1:30 Fri
day morning.
Of all the summer resorts that the
Sunshiners have opportunity of visit
Ing during vacation, I am sure that
the memory of none is more dear to
them than that of Beaufort N. C. The
people of Beaufort occupy a warm
spot in the hearts oi the Sunshiners.

For Colonel Olds the Sunshiners
have a feeling that they cannot ex

The next time you find that you're
taking yourself too serluosly, look up
the la&t census tables and figure out
what proportion of our population you
represent . It may prove a fearful
shock to your self-esteem, but if the
shock Is great enough to dislodge
some of It you'll begin to get enough
esteem from other quarters to make
up the loss.
We've learned to get along very
nicely without Individuals, v There
was a time when our communities
were such small settlements that cer
tain practical .people were needed,
but the country is getting along at
such a' terrific pace -the universities
are turning out so many trained men
and the multiplication of our Indus
tries and businesses is so duplicating
every type of expert and worker that
nowadays, there isn't a post we can
think of, from president to mill boy.
for which, with a little effort we can't
find a first-rate substitute.
After recovering from the loss of
Alexander the Great Julius Caesar,
Napoleon Bonaparte and a few oth-

with your valuable personality does
not occasion very much alarm.
Whenever you begin to realize your
own tremendous Importance you are
losing your sense of humor and a man
without an appreciation of the ridicu
lous lacks the safety-valve which
keeps level-headed persons from mak
ing fools of themselves.
You mustn't mistake your personal
opinions fQr standard rules.
You musn't be so satisfied with your
own Judgment that you do'- tot weigh
its Justice. You musn't be so busy ad
vising others that you can't pause to
seek -advice. The moment you take
too much stock In yourself you'll be
come a laughing stock to every one
else..
Nothing really lasts without replace
ment. Whenever a man is contented
with what he has done, he ceases to
be a creative force for the world. Un
rest Is the eternal safeguard strug

the murders committed in the United
States rose from 1,808 to ,8,482, run
ning (in 1806) to as high a figure
as 10,652. Yet with this increase ot
400 per cent in the number of mur
ders, there has been no appreciable
iccrease in executions of criminals. Of
1.808 murderers in 1885, 108 only were
executed; but of 8,482 slayers in 1904
only 116 paid the penalty for their
crimes. Killing, in ' fact seems . to
be peculairly a pastime -of tluTUnited

country being 73. while on the Conti

runs from 13 l-Z in France (1899) to
less than five killings in Germany.
The people demand full accounts of
murder trials, with full details of the

and there is a seeming, and baffling.
impression that while it is unsports
manlike to shoot a bird on the
ground, tt is heroic and an occasion
for bouquets and ' sentimentality to

press should endeavor to correct this
tendency, and to concertedly point but
that instead of a matinee Idol the
killer should be considered, and
treated, as a criminal deserving of
