Knowest thou the golden county Sun-showered, peace-poaeued, By touch of purple mountains And Southern winds caressed Knowest thou the golden county, Where men ach other love, Whose friendly churches, towerins, Point to their God above.

Oh! Spartanburg, oh! Spartanburc, God rest His Hand on tliee, And crown succea with happiness, Peace with prosperity.

The valor that was Sparta's, With unrelenting strea, Hath carved our lovely count7 From out a wildernea; The Spartan's strength and virtue Remain untouched by shame, And proud and staunch the hearta are That bear the Spartan name.
