K. OF P. CONVENTION
A GRAND SUCCESS,
THE LARGEST AND HOST SUCCESSFUL
DISTRICT CONVENTION EVER HELD
. IN THE STATE.
Owing to the fact that we
were unable to be present at the
C iVi rt V /\f D J?AH1TATt
CAC1L13CS U1 IIIC AX ?il X WIA volition
by reason of sickness, we
clip from the News & Courier
the very interesting report of
the proceedings sent in bv its
Kingstree correspondent:
"The old historic town on
Black river was in gala attire
Tuesday in hon>r of the eon\
ention of the second district
Knights of Pythias. From the
the fall of the gavel in the hand
of Bro F W Fairey, V C C, when
be called the public meeting to
order at noon in the Thomas opera
house, until the sweet
strains of 'Nearer My God to
Thee,'which wound up the proceedings
at the banquet board
at 1 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, there was not one untoward
incident to mar the perfect success
of what is said by visiting
Knights to have been the most
successful district convention
of K of P's ever held in South
Carolina. Indeed, some of the
Knights say that the Kingstree
convention was equal in appointment,
in the perfection of
the work done and in detail of
arrangement to the Grand Lodge
itself. This is very hign praise,
but it does not come from any
[resident of Kingstree. It is the
testimony of some of the visiting*
Knights.
The proceedings of the con
vention were opened in public
meeting at 12 o'clock with a
prayer most appropriately delivered
by the Rev J E Mahaffev,
of the Methodist church. Then
followed the address of welcome
by the mayor of the town, Mr
L W Gilland, by Mr R K Wallace,
on behalf of the Masonic
fraternity, by Mr Philip Stoll,
on behalf of the Woodmen, and
by Mr A C Hinds on behalf of
the Kingstree Lodge, K ot P.
Mr W E Lea, D D G G, then
made response to the various
welcomes*
About this time Lieutenant
Governor G T McLeod, who
I had come in on a late train, was
! recognized, and called upon for
a speech. The genial lieutenjant
governor was equal to the
! emergency and made a most
happy and amusing response.
' After this Brother Fairey, VC C
| of Kingstree lodge, who had pre'
sided up to this point, resigned
the gavel to Bro W E Lea, D D
Shoes!
v t ^
iyv V
G C, of Timmonsville, who"
annOnnced that the convention
was now ready to go into secret
session, upon which the inner r
'guard, with his sharp sword,
soon cleared the hall of all but
true and-lawful brother Knights.
The work of the secret session
was then promptly entered into, *
... r? n> nr.. _ r m- > i?
witn uro n & oea 01 rimmousville
president of the convention
and P H Stoll secretary.
Every lodge in the second district,
twenty-one in number,
with seventy delegates, was
represented on' the floor of the "
; convention. This secret meetJ
ing lasted from about 1 o'clock
uutil 7 pm, with one hour's recess
for dinner.
After the roll call of lodges
and reports of delegates the
the regular business of the convention
was taken up and the
following subjects discussed:
Pythianism in 1908 ?the Hon
T G McLeod.
Our uuty as ryinian ivnignis
the Hou J A Sumraersett.
The Carolina Pythian the
Hon E H Aull.
Suspensions G D Brown, grand
keeper of records and seal.
The Symbols and Mottoes of.
the Order the Hon Hartwell M
Ayer.
Any Old Thing In the absence
of Mr Wilson G Harvey, grand
moster of exchequer, this sub*
ject was handled by Mr F P
Cooper.
Celebration of Lodge Anniversaries the
Hon P H Stoll.
Good of the Order General
discussion.
Before adjournment resolutions
were adopted thanking _
the people of Kingstree for
their unbounded hospitality.
Also resolutions were passed
endorsing the retiring D D G C,
W E Lea. The Carolina Pythian
was also endorsed. .. On
an election being held to
elect a successor to Mr Lea the
choice fell upon Bro P H Stoll,of
Kingstree, as D. D. GL C.
It is quite an honor to Mr Stoil
and his lodge and Kingstree
Pythians are proud of it.
The town of Conway was
selected as the next meeting
place for the second district . ,;convention.
Thomas' opera house, where
the convention was held, was
tastefully decorated for the
occasion, the Pythian colors
and emblems being everywhere
conspicuous. Over the stage
intertwined, showing respectively
the symbol and mystic
letter of the Masonic craft, the
Knifrhts nt Pvthias and the
- j
Woodmen of the World, the
three societies represented in
the public welcome. In many
stores and public places the
colors of the K ofP's were to be
seen. Altogether it was a great
day for Kingstree and for the
K of P's, and the old town did
her very best to entertain the
stranger within her gates, and
she succeeded beautifully."
