We regret the tardiness with which
we have been able to publish the
proceedings of the Grand Lodge of
the Knights of Honor in South
Catolina. This organization has
grown rapidly since its est:blish
mont in this State, and bids fair to
accomplish munch good. 'Tho pro
coedings we publish, are specially
interesting, as showing the rapid
growth of the order, and the sure
foundation on which it rests.

der Catheart, eldest so n of Sand.
Cathcart, Esq. ,died ini Winnsb oro on
Saturday morning of inllammation of
the brain, after a two days, illness, lHe
was but fourteen years and seven
months of age, but was poss0ee
of a high degree of talent and had
already given promise of future
usefulness. His death was caused
remotely by an injury received
several years ago from a severe fall;
although up to a few days before his
death lie was in robust health. It
is a sad thing wvhen one dies after
having passed the allotted age of
man, but when a young spirit is thus
hurriedl away, without wvarning, from
the midst o f those scenes which he
contributed to make bright, thme
blow is doubly felt. He will be
sorely missed in the family circle, of
which he was the pride, and in the
tJ school-room and on the play-ground
S where he had endeared himself to
all with whom he camne in contact.
His funeral took placo on Sunday
morning at the Associate Reformed
chmurch, and his remains were
followed to their last resting plae
by his fellow p~upils in a body and
by a very large number of the
citizens of Winnsboro and the sur.
rounding country. The heartfelt
symp)athy of the entire community is
extended to his family in their sad
boreavement.
Seven Children at four Births.
Douglas Fox is ain intelligent
colored citizen of tho--suburbs of
Rlidgeway, a deacon in the Baptist
church, a carpenter and a farmer, and
was one of the managers of eleto
it Ridgeway box who votod for
I :un1ptA)l 1111 1m h4oi I l:,t 1;vm kt
her. A few days since, Douglas
Fox camt1e into RLidgeway wearing a
rathor lugubrious cast of features,
and announced that the evening be
foro I Hayes and Hampton Lad called
at his house, and that he had not
the means to entertain theso dis
tingtished strangers in a manner
suited to their rank. Surpr iso bo
ing expressed at the vagaries of
these dignitaries in thus travelling
ilcog, ho explained that his visitors
were but ,.ix hours old, and flimt
they have n ever resided any where
else than at his house. In other,
words, his wife had presonted him
wviti twins. le said he had a full
wardrobe for one, but that this
thing of twins had upset all calcula
tions and he was then purchasing an
outfit for the other.
The most interesting feature of
this circumstance is, that six years
ago Douglas was preseuted by his
wife with triplets, all boys, two of
whtomt aro still living. Four -years
ago she gave birth to a daughter,
and two years ago to a son. ev'en
children at four births is rather
crowding things.
Douglas beheves that there is
magic in a latme, and in calling his
children in honor of the two lead
ing men of America he hopes li
Ias given thiemi a good Seld oft in
life. We are informed that Douglas
has been married thirteen years and
ha:; eleven children.
Investigation Wanted.
We have hleard fron a trtustwOrthy
source that Israel Byrd, the present
senator from this cotlllty, was con.
neceted some1 year.; since with trans
netlions whicb me of a very question
able nature. It will be remembiiered
that from 1870 to 1872 the board
of county connnisionlers consisted
of John Martin, Milton Dl)unlap and
Jim (Cok. TI'hie character of this
board was such as to raise a pre
sulption against it ill any qlestioll
of guilt. It is not likely that the
mileiihrs wore over tender in their
regard for the tax payers against
whose wishes and in spite of whose
protests they were put in oflice by an
ignorantaid duped populace. In
searching for fraudsduring their term
of office it is but just, therefore, that
tie oextimillation should be mmusually
rigid, and the rules of evidenco
stretehed to their fullest legal limits
to inivolve the delinlquents. This is
more particulaily trtie in the czse of
Israel Byrd, the present sham sena-.
tor from~ Fairfield. Heo holds a h igh
hpsi5tio-one ini which there shoul
be0 a mani1 above reproach iln all ros.
spoets. It is bad1( enough that he is
uitterly igniorantI, without educeation
and without the (ezapaicity to learn.
iIf, added to all this, he is corrupt;
if his mnoratl character is anlythling
but perfecly statinlle~s: if Ito i'as
boLi~on ngr'egd inl any tranlsaction of
a doubtful character, ho should be
summularihy dealt with and made to
give place0 to som1e worthier indi
vidual. Our iniformiation is that
Byrd has been engaged iln some very
questionable dloings in connection
wvith work done for the county, and
what we want is an immediate and
thorough inl tigation by some
jury. We insist upon a searching
inquiry into every transaction iln
which Byrd has ever received or
handled public money. The infor
mnation ne~ededi can be procured by
the graind -jury. We trust that
Judge Mackoy will instruct them
fully and~ fnrmly upon the matter.
We know that both ho and they will
(do thleir full dluty.
