APRIL 22.
The Second district convention of
the order of Knights of Pythias met
ot Yinorctree with the local lodcre of
I that town and was entertained in
royal style. v
Mullins had a full representation
present, and everyone who attended
came back home singing the praises
of the good people of Kingstree for
the hospitable entertainment accordM
them while in the picturesque city

Ha lie session of the convention was
H -ied out. At 1 o'clock the convenM
adjourned till 3 p. m. The delH

and were met by Commodore
Kistine.bf the good ship "Wander^,"
and carried to a point three or
four miles up the river,where "Jim"
Epps.the "State famous" pine bark
stew man, had prepared a dinner fit
for a kin?.
I It was half-past two o'clock when
Mr Epps pronounced the stew "just
right," and word was passed around
kroong the hungry Knights that
lomething was about to hapjpen unler
the spreading boughs of the
lovely and majestic live oaks, where
long rows of tables had been erected
for the occasion.

events on the Pee Dee, and up to
that time was of the firm opinion
that there were no fishes to be found
anywhere that could come4 up to the

pared those most excellent Black
river bream. The stew was greatly
enjoyed, and especially by those delegates,
like Brother C D Brown, of
Abbeville county, who were accustomed
to eat cat fish and eel stews
and did not know the excellence of
Ki-oom anH rprJhrpflst. We were
told that Mr Epps had about two
hundred of these toothsome fishes
stewed for the occasion; therefore,
there was an abundance of stew,rice
and rich gravy, with the indispensable
black coffee, for everybody,and
the crowd did justice to it, too.
Dinner over, cigars were passed
around, and soon thereafter the deleeates
and their hosts were back on |
I the "Wanderer" headed for Kingsj
tree, where the business session of
I the convention was again opened by
} Deputy Byrd.
After receiving the reports from
the various subordinate lodges,there
were discussions on various lines and
talks by Grand Keeper of Records !
and Seal C D Brown,Hon M L Smith
and others. Later came the election
of district officers, which resulted in
the choice of Col H McRae of Dillon
as district deputy and Judge Joe Cabell
Davis, of the same town, as secretary.
By six o'clock the convention
had finished its business and
Chancellor Commander P H Stoll, of
the Kingstree lodge, closed the 1913
j seaaiuu.
While the reports from the various
lodges were really encouraging and
the prospects bright for a successful
Pythian year in the district,the best
of the programme was yet to come.
Chancellor Commander Stoll announced
that a banquet would be
served at the Kellahan hotel at 10
o'clock that night. When the hour
arrived the large dining hall was a
scene never to be forgotten. Covers
! for about two hundred had been
: laid. The hall was draped in the
| Pythian colors?red,yellow and blue.
Facing, as one entered the hall,were
large letters. "Welcome, K of P,"
and the welcome proved a genuine
one, too.
Hon Philip H Stoll, Chancellor
Commander of the Kingstree lodge,
proved himself a worthy toast-mas-1
ter and in a happy manner proposed I
several toasts.
It was a splendid banquet,and the

While the banquet was costly to the I
good people of Kingstree, nevertheless
it was worth to them all that
they had put in it, for there was not

the 22d day of April, 1913,closely associated
with the town of Kingstree
and her splendid people who enter- 1
tained so lavishly the Second district J
convention of the K of P's. (
In addition to the above,the homes *
of Kingstree were thrown wide open 1
to the delegates, who were cared for
in true Southern style during the *
remainder of their stay in the town, i
and everybody was made to feel welcome.
While it was the first visit 1
that some of the delegates had ever *
made to KingstVee, it did not take
long to get acquainted with the chiv- t
alrous ?DeoDle. and the gathering e
soon assumed the proportions of a c
large family picnic. c
The only feature of the visit that ?
caused a heartache was when the
time came to say good-bye. 1
The writer, in behalf of Mullins
Lodge, No 101, is trank to say that e
the Mullins delegation were never E
entertained more hospitably than d
they were by those good people of t
Kingstree, and when the time comes t
for Mullins to have the honor of 0
caring for the district convention,

The dry weather has tended to '
blight the prospects of the farmers !
in this section,especially the possibilities
of the trucking industry.
The remains of Dr S C Moore of
Luray, who died in an infirmary at
Columbia from the wounds inflicted
by the negro desperado, who is still
at large, were brought to Lake City
Tuesday, May 6, on the 10:40 train
for interment at the family burying
ground a few miles from Lake City.
The esteem in which Dr Moore was
held by the people of this community
was evidenced by the floral tributes
tendered by his many friends
and acquaintances at this place.
While his passing was sudden and 1
unexpected and much deplored by
all, the appreciation of the sacrifice 1
he made in an effort to protect the
helpless was indeed pronounced, and
he shall go down in current history 1
as a man not wanting in heroism.
The community at large extend to
the bereaved relatives their sympa- 1
thie?s in the midst of their great afflic- '
tion. i

PRIZE WINNERS IN THE ESSAY
CONTEST ON "BOW TO SPEND
THE DAYS OF 191*."
The prize contest which was inaugurated
in the columns of The Record
early in January by one of our patrons
and an enthusiastic friend of the
public schools, offering two prizes
for the best essays on,"-How to spend
the days of 1913",has been decided,
and the first prize of $5 is awarded
to Bethea McEJveen, a pupil of the j
Cades school; second prize of $2.60
to Maude A Kinder, a pupil in the
4th grade of the Kingstree High and
Graded school.
There were fifty essays received
from contestants before the time
limit expired March 1. Each of these
was published in The Record. The
majority of them were good and it
was no small task for the judges to
select the two best essays from the
number published. However, after
long and careful consideration, four
contestants were given preference
in the order named below:
Bethea McElveen, first 95
Maude A Kinder, second 90
Sadie Fulmore 85
Sam A Nettles 80
