Tyro* Carried Arrow* the Iturulng Sanrfh Tiie*<lay NikM. Tuesday night was a memorable one with the votaries of Altair Tem ple No. 102, I). O. K. K., in Spartan burg, for on that night fifteen tryos were carried over scorching desert sands and the secret work of the or der was given to the members. The exercises and ceremonies were beautiful, solemn and impressive, and after the institution of the Tem ple a sumptuous banquet was served to the members and a few friends of the order. The Knights from this city who at tended the exercises and partook of the banquet were: Col. J. G. Ward- law, D. C. Ross, C. T. Lipscomb, J. I). McArthur, Ed. H. DeCarap, R. M. Munro, >V. S. Hall, Jr.. J. 0. Otts, Jones J. Darby, W. J. Lipscomb, A. C. Pridmore, W. H. Ross, J. W. Hol lis, W. A. Turner, E. B. Wilbur, T. L. Brown, B. L. Hames and C. M. Smith. The faithful tryos from Gaffney who were taken across the burning sands of the desert, and, at the same time, furnished amusement for those who had already taken the trip to Kborassan, were: W. S. Hall, Jr., A. C. Pridmore, W. H. Ross and E. B. Wilbur. Several speeches were made by prominent members, and Col. J. G. Wardlaw responded to the toast, ‘•Women, Our Fair Sisters,” in such a pleasing and able manner as to elicit unstinted applause. The banquet was a sumptuous one, aud was splendidly served at the parlors of Bishop Bros., in the Spartau City. Oeau Houud Over. F. B. Dean was bound over to the Court of General Sessions of Spartan burg county on the charge of securing the signature of James H. Milster to a note for ♦1,000 by making false statements. The preliminary examination was held before Magis trate Kirby. He fixed the bond at ♦500, which sum was deposited in bank subject to the conditions of his bond. Mr. Dean went there last year, and was the agent of Swifts Co , of Chicago, in the wholesale grocery business. There was trouble in his affairs, and it will he remembered that he brought a charge of embezzle ment against Mr. Smith, his book keeper. which charge was not sus tained. In settling his affairs it was necessary for him to raise ♦1,000. This he did by making a note and getting J. H. Milster to endorse it, under the promise that several other persons would sign the note with him, and that a Richmond house would furnish him goods and give him time to pay the note with his commissions. Milster claims that under these “false pretenses” he was induced to sign the note. The magis trate held that the charge of fraud was valid. J. W. Ragsdale, of Flor ence. assisted by Hon. 8. Wilson, defended Mr. Dean, while C. P. Sims, assisted by P. H. McGown, repre sented Milster and the State. Krt-ltMl ut l.imeMtoiiD.
