C W Wolfe. 3-26-tf "Friendshi p,Cha r ity,Benev<v lcncc," The pervading spirit in the atmosphere of Kingstree this week has been, "Friendship, Charity and Benevolence." The Knights of the Triangle the exemplars of that motto have been with us this week and their presence here "\ will loug be a fragrant memory. In their entertainment Kingstree measured fullv up to her reputation for hospitality and we believe that not one of the visiting Knights will depart with othflvn 1/inrloef f oril i n ore fnr CI lUdU 1<U^ ni IIUVUV iVViiugu *Vi our town and people. The exercises were well attended throughout and the committees in charge are deserving of the highest commendation for their tireless and intelligent work. On every hand were heard expressions of admiration for our beautifnl town and appreciation for the cordiality 6howD in the en tertainment of the guests of Kingstree Lodge. As Lieutenant Governor McLeod remarked, he oame here some vears ago when Kingstree was a straggling village with "magnificent distances" the chief characteristic; but those distances have been filled in witb fine brick business blocks and elegant residences, aud today he got Off the train and found a city. Many of the Knights here for the first time expressed surprise at the size of our town and the number and beauty of its bui'dings and all were charmed with the beauties of the river scenery. The Convention of the Second District was an unqualified success and we believe that every visiting knight will bear with him to his home a warm feeling of regard for KiDgstree and her hospitable people. Some of our friends, whom we know to be good pay, have asked us to carry their subscriptions over until fall. Thev do not seem to realize the force of the postoffice department's ruling. We have no option in the matter. To carry over a subscription one year or longer we would incur the risk of forfeiting our postal privilege of having papers dis " 1 i .icm m.A. -mm. ~ :.twcyi:rttyf'nmyaiw I < ht* Ti .-lit. tl five i:i tiiis CJUM' V ami wr\?vliiTf i.'iii of tin- c? unty at tiit' rat*.* ot one cent a poiuul. t? cannot atlonl t<. do l In-, as, if w-'iili! practn-allv put ns ont of l)ti>in<s-.

Mr Moil though ni< in his contention earnestly an feelingly defended bis resolu-tion, but the sentiment of Hie* convention was too string to be overcome. When the ques-. tion was submitted the dele gates by an overwhelming majority voted to table Mr Stoll's resolution, which meant that delegates go to Columbia unin-! structed. Immediately following a res- i olution was presented endorsing dryan as> canujuaic iui jji evident, which was carried without discussion. Those opposed to the endorsement, having won their tight in the matter of ins truction seemed to be satisfied and wholly indifferent to any postmortem action taken. The convention was called t^ order at noon by Chairma; Williams, who was made t porary chairman, with f Wolfe as temporary secretary. After enrolling the delegates and transacting other routine business, the temporary organization was made permanent and the election of officers followed. Dr Williams was reelected chairman and C W Wolfe secretary, without opposition. Mr Philip Stoll was unanimously elected member of State execu- I tive committee. Then came the election of delegates to the State convention, and as there were eight places to fill and only eight candidates were offered, the} delegates were chosen by acclamation, thus avoiding a long and tedious balloting. Following are the delegates elected: A H Williams, P H Stoll, W S Lynch, J S Graham,'; R II Kellahan, L P Kinder. E F Prosser and S B Poston. A motion was made by Mr Blackwell that our delegates to the State convention exert their influence to put all candidates in the primary, except supervisor of registration and members of the board of control, which are barred under the constitution carried. The following members of the executive committee were duly elected: Prospect, J J Eaddy; Indiantown, W C Wilson; High Hill, W P Gause; Mouzon, 1) B Young; Scranton, W S Lynch; Salters, J E Davis; Kingstree, C W Wolfe; Lake City, J D Dan i n tit & t?:i.l. r> lei; rergamos, w a. rucu;ruplar Hill, B B Chandler; Vox, E F Prosser; Hebron, R C McElveen; Central, W G Cantley, Jr; Lane, S A Nettles; Suttons, S P Cooper; Lenud, J M Rowe; McAllister's Mill, H LWhitlock; Trio, James Bryan; Earls, W S Camlin, Jr; Black Mingo, J S Graham; Johnsonville, D N Johnson; Greelyville No. 2, D J Bradham; Greelyville, No. 1, S M Rradshaw; Gourdin, R H Pittman; Pleasant Grove, J D Carter; Cades, J J M Graham; ueaar swamp, j ti mcuunougn. meeting of executive committee.
