THE CAMPING TRIP CONTINl Kl>
? ?? 1 t
Good Morning! After a battle roy
i kT with the m-asqoitaes, m which
?"* they came oat m?re than conquerors
v? although vanquished, slept the
sleep of those who have (ought a
good fight with an unfinished foe.
The fact is we fought while we slept,
and knew it not.
" The morning was bright and pleas
ant, with all the campers well and
? happy an<J hungry to boot. A de
licious breakfast of ham and eggs,
w'ith - all tfie accessories, served au
nature!, soon hit the hungry spot,
and every one felt re-enforced and
eager for the journey apd the Mecca
of our dreams. Soon the,' dishes
were washed, the tents" folded and
? p4<?ed .and with happy and hope
ful hearts we bade farewell to our
kind friends of tke village of Bow
liajr Green and faced our five Fords
Itwrdi Wa?hiogton.
The roads, were good, the air bra
cing and pleasant, and the scenery
al<?g the way beautiful. After a
few car adjuatmenta we crossed the
Potomac and drove into the Potomac
Tearirt Camp at 2 P. M. Tuesday.
But hot! oh. so hot! It seamed im
possible for us to bear it. We won
: iered if Person County was roasting
as 'we were. We learned that it was.
Soon we secured our camp allot
ment from the keeper, built our kit
chen out of Fords and tent covers,
erceted ot|r sleeping tent, set all
things in order, and made for the
hath house where we took any kind
of bath we wished ? hot, cold or
nixed ? to our hearts ' content, all
free of coat.
Then we cooked and ate our sty
lish supper, in our stylish way at
the stylish hour ef 6 o'clock. Then
a rush was made for sight seeing
in the great Capital. A few re
named to protest our property and
provisions, which we learned later
waa unnecessary as tourists do not
steal nor destroy but protect each
others fortune.
Dneription of the Tourists' Camp
The camp is laid off in the plan
of a city and large enough to ac
commodate thousands of people. It
seemed pretty well filled with all
sorts of tents, various arrangement?,
ar attachments to automobiles,
camping houses on wheels, cti. An
hiventoiw was made Wednesday
' il Uli I. nml it wan fuuiul? that every
state in the Cnited Sates was rep
nesented cn the grounds. In the
various parts of this Urge camping
. STQund you could turn a spigot for
ire water and another for city water
all free for 60 cents a day for each
? <-ar. Also we had to keep our camp
in -"nnitary condition, make no un
necessary noise, and be in camp by
11 o'clock at night ? the hour of
gate -closing.
Tuesday night was a night of
reach good sleep, the hard ground
having a southing effect after our
I -re so me day and sleepless night be
fore. The msrning found all fresh
, and ready for breakfast t-nd for the
nights of the city. I 'hall not give
the details of our doings as it w'juld
require the making of a book, nei
ther do I mention the places visited
as another writer has alrjndy men
tioned them.
The wonderful things in the Nat
ional Museum charmed us and filled
ns with amazement, esperiallv the
various people of the world, their
mode <Jf living, their habits,, and
their w^' of doing . things. Week?
could be Tspent in this museum and
not see half the wonderful sights.
Climbing the Washington Monu
ment, yes, walking up, if you please,
gave us great delight as well as gree*
exercise, since this monument i >
553 feet high. The wonderi of th
capital city and the scenery ft .
miles around js far beyond our pow
ers of description.
After leaving the monument and
cutting off a few yards by driving
through some private grounds, a
cop rolled up and said, "Pull out to
? one side," as tre^rtghtgrt: ? We abi >?''
?nd he approached the first car in
which were Mr. Smith, the writer,
and others, the y\>ung men in the.
other cars be?r?n to roll out and in a
Strong body came to the front. It
seemed that we were in for some
thing sure enouf^i. But the cop
soon began to ask us about the. roads
to Charlotte and Asheville, N. C?
explaining that he was expecting to
viait these places and wanted in
formation which we gladly gave
and took it for granted that Re waa
not so scared at the sigfit of our
strong force (hat he failed to tell
his real obje-t in stopping us.
In Arlington Cemetery we gath
ered about the retting place of our
dearly beloved Willie Bail, y, who in
charge of hia men in battle waa
killed just 1# minutes before It
o'clock" on Amiatic Day. We felt
as if we were ? holy ground and
with uncovered beads- we bowed in
prayer thankiag God for Willie's
, great life, hia aoble spirit, for his
supreme sacrifice tor hia country,
and for. the honor he bestowed upon
Prnon County, and that ,hs Jjife aj
verfiot might stimulate e?~h of ua
. - ? .j
to a Hfe of service ip our Matter's
kingdom. While the sod is marked
by the Nation with a small stone,
it would be a fine deed tor tne p*6- 1
t>le of Person County to place a
more suitable monument to his grave
in token of their high appreciation
of his fine character, his noble life
and his unfailing patriotism. Man>\
people and counties have thus hono
red their dead.
