"In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom MEN pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two?where God has not."

The actiou of Governor Blease in
refusing to commission the nominees
for Auditor and Treasurer of
Georgetown county, elected in the
Democratic primary last August, is
without precedent since the Democratic
party redeemed the State in
187C>. If Governor Blease is a Democrat
he has a mighty poor way of
olmivincr it

FORMALLY (
WELCOMED ? THE BANQUET.
The annual convention of Knights j
of Pythias of the Second district of
South Carolina was held here Tues-;
i
day to carry out one of the most
olahnraEo unH intprpstint? Dro- 1
grammes of business and social en- j
tertainment that the order has ever
held.
Delegates began to arrive Monday
evening, but the majority of i
them did not reach Kingstree until
about midday Tuesday, when the in-1
coming trains from both directions
on the ACL railroad brought in
scores of others from various points j
in the district. They were met at
the depot by a delegation of brother
Knights, who escorted them to
the opera house, where they were
formally welcomed at a public meet- j
ing by the Honorable Mayor, Col L j
P Kinder, on behalf of the town in
an appropriate and pleasing address.

The meeting was called to order ,
by ex-Chancellor Commander P H
Stoll, Esq, after which a beautiful I
musical selection was rendered by a
picked choir, followed with appropriate
prayer by Rev D A Phillips.
The response to addresses of welcome
on the part of Kingstree and
the local fraternal organizations was
made by Mr M M Byrd, District

al excellent style.
At the' conclusion of the above
programme the entire delegation of:
Knights and a number of specially !
invited guests were taken up the
river to the Seine Yard, where they
wereserved with a "pine bark stew", i
rice and fish fresh from the river,
prepared by Mr D J Epps, which'
suffices as an explanation of it3 palatable
excellence.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon
the delegates assembled in the local
lodge room fbr an executive session
and for the transaction of routine
?nH snf?h nthpr hnsiness as came ud
for consideration.
THE BANQUET.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Tuesday
night the doors of the spacious dining
room of the Kellahan hotel were
thrown open and one hundred and
forty-eight Knights and their guests,
including a number of ladies,marched
into the banquet hall, so transformed
by the beautiful color derations,
cut flowers and table arrangement.
The spread was one fit for
the gods themselves, and contained
the following menu, prepared by the
well known and popular hostess,Mrs
S A Nettles,and served by a number
of Kingstree's charming young ladies:
Ovster on Half Shell Olives Celery
Pickles Roast Turkey
Cranberry Sauce Creamed Potatoes
Chicken Salad
"Old Virginia" Home Cured Ham
Green Peas Sliced Tomatoes
Cream Dressing Lobster Salad
Cheese Crackers Ice Cream Cake
Fruit After Dinner Mints
Coffee Cigars
When the banqueters had finished
their meal and all pushed back their
after dinner coffee cups the toast
master, Hon Philip H Stoll, announced
the following toasts:
"City of Kingstree"?We glory
in her past, we are proud of her
present, we have faith in her future
?Responded to by Hon R J Kirk in
his usual good style, giving historical
facts and figures which were at
Jiiue luiercsiuig miu uiai.iuv.uvc.
"The Press"?The guardian of
the people's rights? the sponsor of
truth and justice?This was to have
been responded to by Col E H Aull
3f Newberry,editor of The Pythian,
but as Col Aull could not attend on
account of the death of a near relative,the
subject was only referred to
by the toast master.
"Pythianism"?If fraternal love [
rield all men bound, how beautiful
this world would be?Responded to
by Hon Ralph D Epps, a brilliant
poung attorney of Sumter, and a
product of Williamsburg, having
4
been born and reared within a few 1
iniles of Kingstree. Mr Epps paid a
pleasing tribute to his old home
town, and dwelt most interestingly
upon the beautiful principles of
Pythianism.
"The Goat"?Sir William, the ;
friend of all faithful Knights, but to
tyros a terror?In the absence of :
i
Hon J Walter Doar this toast was
responded to by D. D, G. C. M M
nlUrvcs 14a 4J4 nrvt mo 1 inrn I
"J'u ul .wuiimo. lit um 111/1. m?"6"
"Sir William" perhaps as much as <
his goatship deserved, but rather
lauded him as the indispensable
guardian of the portal gates of all (
secret order temples.
"Woman"?Woman is the glory
of the man?Responded to by A C
Hinds,Esq,in a most interesting and
appropriate speech of thirty minutes
which seemed to please his
hearers, both men and women.
When Mr Hinds took his seat the
hour hand of the old clock on the
lobby wall had slipped past 12?mid- 1
night.
But the toast master, being somewhat
unaccustomed to such a late
hour and thinking, perhaps, of having
to catch the early train out of
town next morning for Florence,
rubbed his eyes and announced a
toast to the "State of South Caroli
na"?That corner of the earth smiles
sweetest of all because it is my home,
my native heath?to be responded '
to by one of her most eloquent and
distinguished sons, Hon Mendel L
Smith of Camden. Mr Smith said
that he had had an engagement to
speak here on April 22, but had been
forced to cancel the engagement. In
his usual eloquent style, he held his
listeners spell-bound while he poured
forth in beautiful rhetoric, sentence
after sentence upon the glory,
the greatness of South Carolina's
past and future. Mr Smith spoke
for twenty minutes and the curtain i
was drawn down upon another history
making day for Kingstree and
the Knights of Pythias of the Second
district.
