With the exception of the con
struction ot the Cberaw A Darting
ton HuUronA aoU the opening of
the Bank and the Factory, there
has bees no sofaeme which has done
as Moeh for Darlington dating the
Nineteenth Century as will be ac-
eomplished by the coos: ruction of
the proposed Darlington and Harts-
Tills Railroad.
By it will be opened up to the
trade sad influence of Darlington
the very best section of the Conn
ty—one which from the very nature
efita situation and surroundings
has always been more or less allied
to her, bat whose affinity will be
all the elooer aad dearer by reason
of the iron bonds. That the pro
jected railroad would be of inesti
mable ad rootage to all living along
its line, Is beyond question; lands
now worth ten dollars an aero
Would be doubled or even trebled
in value before the new enterprise
has been established a year. That
It will to a very great degree pro
mote the interests ot the prosperous
people of the western portion of
the County in enabling them to
rsaeh their Court House quickly,
oouveuientiy, and at a trifling cost,
loalao apparent. There is no doubt,
too, that '.bo road would be a good
paying investment; its ears wruld
be Ailed slmnet every day with
both passengers and freight, and
if the stock no holders should be for
innate enough to obt tiu for its
management the controlling baud
of ooe of onr great financiers, not
many years won Id elapse before
baodfome dividend r would be de
dared. Altogether, this new pro
jeot is for the benefit of all parties
concerned, end if we are correctly
informed, their hearty co-opera lion
and aapport is all ^hat will be
necessary to make it an established
fact. Baalatos au-m of Darlington be
alive to your interests! come forward
promptly aad assist in bringing to
your very doors onr friends of west
Darlington, the mo t prosperous
eitiaens ot the County. If yon do
this, and if the people along the
lino will give the infant enterprise
their most coiyiUI support and en
couragement, nothing will be want-
fag to enable ns to embrace thin
glorious opportunity wbieb will
aarriy redound to the benefit of ns
all aad to the increased prosperity
of Darlington County.

“Our Fattier in ht-art u, the Author
of« very good and |MTteet gift, we
pray The.- l.»»k upon this company,
par-Ion our sins and save us at last
in Tby kingdom, for Christ’s sake,
Amen.” Mr. James then gave the
following hearty welcome to the
Grand Lodge s
“In the asme of Darlington
Lodge, No. 7.1 extend to tbe Grand
Lodge a cordial welcome. We have
looked forward to this boor with
pleasure. We nave known all along
that the meeting of the Grand Lodge
here would be of lasting benefit to
onr Ledge. Much osetnl informa
tion has been obtained, from which
we ho|ie to receive benefit. Onr
anticipations have been fully rea
I x' d, sad we have enjoyed tbe so
cial fnalnres of this meeting as well
Many pleasant friendships have
been formed which will last as long
as we worthily bear the name of
Knights, like Damon and Pythias
let ns ever be knit together by the
grand priueiplea of our Order, then
will it live forever.”
Vim toast: “OnrOrder—Recog
nizing the universality of tbe hn
man brotherhood, this organisation
is intended solely to disseminate
the pm tuples of friendship, charity
and benevolence” Responded to
by Mr. Fugle, of Colomblia.
The replv of Mr. Fngle was
amnsing and instructive. He was
as usual very happy iu bis remarks.
He said, “That the great mission of
the Order was to raise up those who
tall; to sooeor the widow and or
phan. Thia is onr privilege and
pleasure, and is what we are sworn
to do. 1 have studied tbe parimee
of tbe organisation and watched its
growth with interest. How often
have I seen help extended to those
bound down by sorrow. How many
would have bt-eu thrown upon the
cold charity of the world but for
the efforts of this Order. How
many have bad the bitterness of
their last hours ameliorate I by the
knowledge that their dear ones
woald be left in tbe hands of friends
and brothers. Onr Grand Lodge is
now established on a firm founda
tion. In the choice of our efficient
Grand Chancellor, elected day, wo
may confidently look forward to an
ever onward movement. His con
nection with tbe press givea him an
additional advantage in his work.
There is no denying the fact that
the press is a strong power, and
that by keeping our Order eon
stantly before the public its beat
interests will be served. It reals
with ns to aid him in his doties,
without a
a bright
future before us if we would work
tor it. We may at least be con-
seioas that wo have done onr doty
to the best of onr ability all that
mao ean da God grant we may
tnoosed.” (Applause. Muaic.)
Tbe secoud toast was: “The Sa
preme Rank—For year* the Urea
were dim upon tbe altars ot tbe
young Brotherhood, hot iu the high
noon of tbe present the sunlight is
reflected from the bright shields of
gallsnt Knights.” Responded to
by Mr. A. 0. Mustard, of Charles
ton, who said:
“The Supreme Lodge, Mr. Presi
dent and brother Knights, should
find a warm place la each of onr
hearts. Tbe Supreme Lodge is the
imperial mother of each worthy
daughter who, as a Lodge, does bei
full duty to the high principles o
our Order, whose motto is Friend
ship, Charity, Benevolence. Friend
ship snob as that which impels at
to leave onr homes at the call of a
brother in distress, wherever the
Pythian flag is onfurled; Ch iniy
which urges us to be kind in Our
judgment of their weakness, which
is the oommon heritage of man
Benevolence m all that that grand
good word implies. Ten years ago
I had the pleasure of instituting the
Lodge here. Before I came then I
heard that the ladies had determin
ed to treat me to tar and feathers.
To day we are received with dis
tiuguished kindness at the hauda
of the people of Darlington. I
would eujoin upon the yoeuger
members of tbe Order that study
necessary to make them fully ao
quaiuted with their duty, so as to
make the Knights of Pythias a
lower for good. Wh«n first I vis
ted you we were struggling for a
toot hold la the State. To-dav the
Order is ooe of tbe brightest
stars in the fitmameut.” (Applause.
Music)
The third toast was: “The Grand
Lodge of Sooth Carolina—Its laws
are reason and equity; its doctrines
inspire parity of thought; its inten
tion, 'Peace on earth, good will to
men.’" Mr. Henry T. Thompson
responded as follows:
“In rising, brethren, to respond
to tbe toast of the Grand Lodge of
South Carolina, l caouot but con-
gratnlate you on tbe successful and
harmonious termination of your ar
duous labors of the past two days.
In all things onr proceedings were
conducted with that courtesy and
kind iness of spirit which should

knightly body. Be assured that tbe
people of Darliugtoo aud the local
lodge have Ukeo tbe utmost pleas
ure in your visit to them, and that
they hope the day is not far dis
