South Carolina sends a delegation j
to Denver instructed to vote for J
William Jennings Bryau, "first,
last and all the time." There is
... , <
great rejoicing among those news- ^
papers aud individuals who have (
advocated Mr Bryan's endorsement <
by the South Caroliua Democracy
and it is perhaps a3 well that J
they should rejoice. Certainly they 1
are entitled to something for their }
enthusiastic support ef their pet (
candidate and all the enjoyment j
they can extract prior to the
election, we opine, will be that 1
much clear gain. That Mr. Bryan
will also be the choice of the j
Denver convention there is little
k, room (we almost said hope) for
L doubt. But to what end? We
W. may be be mistaken, and we
sincerely hope we are, but as a
presidential possibility Mr. Bryan
seems to us a futility.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS
In Wllllamslrari County?Some Inter
estlng Facts.
Editor County Record:
Beginning- her work in this
county on Monday, May 18, Miss
Nance. State organizer of Rural
School Improvement association, \
met enthusiastic audiences at t
Cades, Lake City, Pergamos, j
Scranton, High Hill, Prospect,
Leo, Lane, Trio, Greelyville and t
Kingstree. Those who have seen ;
her work need not be told that ]
enthusiasm was increased, nor (
that on her next trip to us much i
larger crowds will hear her. ,
During the week she addressed ^
ahont 1 20ft r?pnr?lp. all told, and l
" r~~r---i .
the common verdict is that she j
is doing an indispensable work. {
Last year Williamsburg county {
captured two of the fifteen prizes \
offered by the School Improve- )
ment association and will fur- ,
nish this year seven contestants }
for the thirty-five prizes offered j
by this association. The Per- t
gamos neighborhood will move \
from a school building valued (
at $50 to a neat two-room house ?
built entirely by themselves,
costing $1,000. Scranton, a vil- ,
lage of some 200' inhabitants, (
has erected, by local effort en- f
tirely, a $4,000 brick building, J
and the coming session will find t
their school occupying this c
house in place of a little one- r
room house not worth $50 pre- (
vioasly used. The Indiantown i
section has recently consoli- (
dated some of its schools and ]
have now in process of construe- t
tion a $2,000 house. At Trio, c
where they hare no school t
bouse, a movement was launched
at Miss Nance's meeting tc procure
a good building. Greelyville
will erect during the summer
a $7,000 school building.
At Leo we have probably the
neatest little one-teacher school
house in the county, costing
$500, and built by the patrons of
the school.
A number of other schools
will make improvements that
might entitle them to prizes,
and Prospect expects to be one
of these.
Miss Nance's visit here has a
given an impetus to educational r
? t
I
natters that can not be over-;
rained. She promises to come
igain in the fall, and at that
time will be taken to sections i
where she could not go during |
this short visit.
Respectfully,

jpened the meeting with prayer, after
ivhich the opening ode was snug by
i special choir with the entire

lis inimitable way.

Jacobs as Chancellor Commander of
Kingstree Lodge, and after the
ipening ceremony the gavel was
riven to W E Lea, D D G C. The
oil call of lodges and report of delegates
w?8 the first business. Every
odge answered the roll call and the
eports showed that every lodge in
Second District was in a healthy
ind growing condition. This Dis;nct
is composed of twenty-two
odges and the fact that eveiy lodge
vas represented at this convention
vas occasion of much favorable omnent
and heartfelt rejoicing among
;he Pythians. The convention was
fortunate in having quite a number
>f good speakers present and some
splendid addresses were made.

and made an interesting talk

inly 17 suspensions in the 22 lodges,
nrhile in the entire State there had
>een 500 suspensions. Bio H M

tddress on the Symbols and Mottoes
>f the order. Bro Frank P Cooper,
if Charleston, spoke of Pythianism
generally and told of his efforts to
jet up a ship load of Knights to go
o Boston to the Supreme Lodge

A resolution was offered recomnending
that the permanent password

password be restored. This
esolution was tabled. The usual
