This was f llowed by a talk by Mr. Marion, mapping out 'he programme, e'c. He introduced Chester's popular young mayor, William .). Simpson, who in an eloquent speech heartily welcomed the knights. He turned over lie golden key .of the city to Dr. George \V. Dick, g:'and chancellor, of Sumter, who received it in a happy speech ,which was interspersed with many humorous situations. In addition to the knights of this city, a big crowd of Chester peo pie attended the opening exercises. The Pv' hian special arrived here j over the Southern railway this morning at 9:30 o'clock and was met by he people cf this city vvi h automo-j biles and carriages and the delegates J taken to :heir homes. 1 The opening business meeting was held at the opera house this morning ! and many interesting matters were discussed. In the annual report of the grard chancellor he recommended; tha: committees on reading rooms and libraries be discontinued. He .? thought this a useless commi.tee. The following new lodges were instituted j L since the last convention of the grand 1 Kfc lodge and today's meeting of the; M &rand lodge granted :he recommenda-. y tion that charters be granted to New j Zion, Little Rock, Tribune and Mc-1 Bee ledges. There were a number of J suspensions during the year. He! urged the consolidation oi uie office\ o: keeper of record and seai with .:hat of the master of finance. Do! this, he said, and t'here would l?3 a | material reduction in the number of j suspensions. The law allows these! offices to be consolidated and wher-! ever this has been the case most sat-j isfactory results have followed. i.Minu:es of the last meeting were! adopted a'i printed.

SHIP IS LOOTED | Pirates Board Sponging Schooner! .Near Key West and Burn It to J, Water's Edge. i /Tampa, Fla., May 26.?A tale of i piracy, of looting a ship and robbing! her crew, and finally of destruction of j the ship by fire, off Marquesas Backs, I some 2-") miles from Key West, is told: i by the crew of the schooner Edna | Louise, belonging to the Tarpon!

After the Edna Louise's crefr < left the boat, according to the story of Cap:. Henri Michel, the Greek com- ; mander, the Edna Ixmise was set on fire. They saw her burn to the water's edge and the pirates leave. Then the life boat was pointed toward , Cape RiJmainr where they landed for ( fresh water, coming thence :o Tampa . J under sail. iCapt.

HOME RULE BILL PASSES THIRD READING IN HOI SE By Majority of 77 Measure (ioes! Through Commons on rinal Test ?Adoption is Sure. London, May 25.?-Home rule for Ireland today became practically certain, i; was believed by supporters of the measure. The house of commons this afternoon, on division, passed the measure, 351 to 274. John E. Redmond, the Irish Nationalist leader, in a statement said that the action of the commons "was equivalent to the passage iof the bill into a law. Two eventualites, both of -which j the Nationalist leader deemed impos- j sible, could prevent the bill from be- j coming a law, -he said. These were that he preliminary session should come to an abrupt end or that the commons should suddenly go mad and decidee no: to submit the bill .''or royal ass- n\ By a vote of 351 to 274?a majority of 77?the house of commons this afteriii.cn passed the home rule bill.

V nrciPPCH ivim ihi nsvm i knit Chronic, Cripp!ed-i:p Sufferers Find Relief After Few Doses of New Remedy are JTakcn It is needless to suffer any longer with rheumatism, and be all crippled up, and bent out of shape with its heart-wrenching pains, when you can surely avoid it. Rheumatism comes from weak, inactive kidneys, that fail to filter from the blood, the poisonous waste matter and uric acid; and it is useless to rub ori liniments or take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This only prolongs the misery and can't possibly cure you. The only w iy to cure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new discovery, Croxone, does this because it neutralizes and dissolves all the poisonous substances and uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles, to scratch and irritate and cause rheumatism, and cleans out and strengthens the stopped-up, inactive kidneys, so they can filter all the poisons from the blood and drive it on and out of the system. Croxone is the most wonderful medicine ever made for curing chronic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and l\1 A /I UidUUtA UiSUlUClO. 1 UU will 1111VI it different from 'all other remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. It matters not how old you are, or how long you have suffered, it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. You will find relief from the first few ' doses, and you will be surprised how quickly all your misery and suffering will end. An original package of Croxone costs but a trifle at any first-class dru? store. All druggists are authorized to sell it on a positive moneyback guarantee. Three doses a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst backache or overcome urinary disorders.
