Insurance Rates.
Mr. Samuel F. Coit, a representative of the
Southeastern Tariff Association spent last
weak and tbe week before in the city re-map?
ping.
It is feared by many tbat this is a precursor
to an increase in rates, and there is consider- 1
able dissatisfaction in consequence.
There bas been no increase in insurance
rates, so* one of the leading local agents
informs the writer since Feb. 1892, when 1
there was a general raise in rates. 1
It is not probable that there will be any <
reduction in rates, notwithstanding the *
excellent system of water works aod efficient
fire department that Sumter now has, as the
insurance companies claim that they lose
money at lower rates.
The only way in which insurance rates can 1
be reduced in Sumter seems to be for the people t
to organize a home compaay and carry their ?
own risks. The scheme is feasible and can be 1
successful by co-operation. 1 t

- Disarmed, but Hot Disbanded.
A special meetiog of the Sumter Light
Infantry was called last night for the purpose
of collecting and surrendering all arms and
equipments belonging to .the State. Another
meeting will be held to-oigbt aod the disarm?
ament completed.
The surrender of arms was io obedience to
the followiog order :
COLUMBIA, S. C., April 12, 1894.
Special Order No :
You are hereby ordered to collect all arms
aod equipments, uniforms aod other military
property, bel OD gin g to tbe State that have
been eotrusted to you, or in the posses?
sion of your company, put them in your
armory or some convenient place and hold the
same subject to orders frovi these head?
quarters; reporting the number and
character of same to me.
Your atteotioo is respectfully called to
section 367 and 371 of the General Statutes
io regard to the militia laws of the State.
By order of the Governor, .
H. L. FARLEY.
Adjutant and Inspector General.
Official. J. GARY WATTS, Assistant
Adjutant and Inspector General
To Capt. A. C. Phelps, commanding Sumter
Light Infantry, Sumter, S. C.
The officers of the company are acting under
the advice of counsel, and will abide by the
letter of the law governing the volunteer
troops, and furthermore will maintain every
right guaranteed by the law.
Gov. Tillman may have called for the arms
as the preliminary step to disbanding the
compaoy, but before he does disband the
Sumter Light Infantry, be will have to prove
his case through a court martial or court of
inquiry.
In any event the Sumter Light Iufantry
will maintain its organization. It is too old,
too firmly established and too firmly fixed in
the affections of the people of Sumter for
them to permit tbe dictate of a man like Gov.
Tillman to force it out of existence.

The Bed Men.
The Great Council of the Improved Order
of Red Men, of South Carolina, which waa
in session in this city last week, quenched ita
Council Fire on last Wednesday evening.
In addition to the other business reported
in last issue of this paper, the place of the
next Great Council was selected to he Colum?
bia.
Pa3t Sachem, G. W. H. M obi man, of
Charleston, WHS elected delegate to the Great
Council of the United States which will meet
in New York State in August.
Past Sachem D. Rosendorf of Pocahontas
Tribe, No. 16, was elected District Deputy
Great Sachem.
At 7.30 Wednesday evening the Great
Chiefs and the members of the local tribe met
in yie Wigwam of Pocahontas Tribe, from
which they marched with regalia to the
Opera House, at which place the citizens had
been invited to assemble to hear addresses
from the Great Chiefs of the order-the
greatest of whom was Mr. Chas. C. Conley,
of Philadelphia, who ha3 been a member of
the order for 37 years, is now Great Keeper
of Records of the United States, and Past
Great iocohonee (or Greatest Chief) of the
U.S.
The Great Chiefs and the committee of
Pocahontas Tribe had seats upon the stage.
Past Sachem, C C. Manning of Pocahontas
Tribe opened the meeting with a short talk
and introduced the Past Great Sachem of
South Carolina, W. H. Thomas, of Charles?
ton, wbo spoke feelingly and eloquently of
the order and its work, and closed by intro
ducing the speaker of the evening, Past Great
Iocohonee, C C. Conley
Mr. Conley began with a complimentary
reference to bis pleasant experience on this his
first visit to South Carolina, and said that be
almost felt as if he Could say: "My foot is
on my native heath."
i Proceeding, he spoke in substance as fol
I lows :
Through the kindness of the Committee of
the Tribe of Sumter giving this reception I?
am permitted this sleep to speak to you, some
words which I trust may prove instructive as
well as interesting about the teachings and
history of the Improved Order of Red Men.
Let us first cast a retrospective glance over
the pages of history for centuries and we will
there learn, though it be through the dim
vista of tradition and supposition, that secret
societies have bad birth, have lived and
flourished and finally died, from the Pyiba
gorian era down to the present time.
The conception that gave them birth has
been from many causes good, wonderful, bad
and indifferent.
The latter causes have catered all the way
down the roll of ages to the baser passions
and the ignorant multitude ; sometimes fail?
ing, bul oft, too oft, successful.
Kings, princes and potentates, some noble,
generous aud brave, others vile and despic?
able, have alike fallen victims to their secrecy
and their machinations, and caused a wise
man to truthfully write;
Man's inhumanity to man make countless
millions mourn.
We assent that within the pale of secret
societies all the changes and revolutions in
fraternities, politics and in state, both ancient
and modern, were conceived and had their
birth.
We find, however, that it is net our prov?
ince on this occasion to speak on matters of
j politics or slate, but in a brief talk to give a
short sketch of our secret society.
The Improved Order of Red Men, which we
i claim-for the amount of work accomplished
io patriotism, io good deeds, io humanity
is equal to any other similar institution in
our land.
Just previous to the breaking out of the
Great Revolution that ultimately gave this
country ber freedom and made her a nation,
a number of secret societies sprang into
existence for the purpose of throwing off the
yoke which Mother Eoglaod bad placed upon
our neck imposiug the odious Stamp Act and
other obnoxious laws. These societies,
while, having one common purpose (securing
onr independence) were known by different
names, such as The Sons of Liberty, Society
of Saiot Tammany, Society of Red, etc., etc.
It was from these that our present order ;
was formed. There is no society in this j
country that can claim a richer heritage of !
ancient birth, blood and honor than the
Improved Order of Red Men.
About the year 1772 we find at Annapolis,
the quaint, quiet, aristocratic Capital of the
old Colony of Maryland, a number of pan iota
banded together for the purpose of defending
their country's rights and liberties. Abont
the same time tbe Sons of Liberty, in Boston,
determined to take active steps in the same
grand cause ; and a little later precipitated
tbe coming conflict by throwing overboard
the tea in Boston, harbor which act ultimate?
ly gave us our freedom. What a legacy of
fame and honor those Revolutionary heroes
have bequeathed us, their lineal descendants,
to preserve forever.
Sons of their sons, let us see to it that our
sons shall teach their sons to keep pure and
unsullied the fair fame and the glory of our
magnificent free Republic.
Among the bravest of those valiant men
and in the front rank we find the sages and
wise men who gave birth to the society of
Red Men or Tammany, at a meeting held in
Kaiser's tavern, on the Circle, opposite the j
ancient capitol building, still stauaing and j
used as the State Capitol building of Mary- !
land.
Coming down the line of years we find that !
those patriots still keep alive the council fires j
of the Society of Red Men, and their blaze |
illumined tbe ramparts of Fori MifSin from
1812 to 1815 in the second war of Indepen?
dence. Those stalwarts in the cause of Free?
dom, Friendship and Charity little dreamed
of the vast harvest to be gleaned from the
prolific seed they bad sown, and but few of
them lived to see the giant that has grown
from the embers of the fires of the dav? of!
1771 and 1812.
In 1834 a few of the surviving veterans met
in the City of Baltimore for the purpose of
modernizing their loved order; and there in
council decided to prefix the word Improved
to their title, and instead of remaining a
social, patriotic organization, attached the
beneficial feature to it, and such it has re?
mained to this day and so it will remain as
loog as our country exi9ts-the grandest,
freest nation on earth. And wbat bas the
result been? Far, far. greater and grander
than our fathers pictured, painted or im?
agined.
Amid the change of time, the shock of
battle, the strides of civilization and improve?
ment, whether chilled by tbe winter's snows \
or heated by the summer's san, our cause has j
with sturdy step kept pace with advance and j
reform ; and to-day we give you facts, not !
fiction, when we claim to be one of the best j
practical, business, humane and patriotic
secret orders that has existed in this or any ;
other clime.
A roll-call tonight of the members of our j
order would givens in Tribes 140,000, in Coun- j
cilsof Pocabontas20,000, making a grand total
of 160,000 exemplars of the grand principle !
of Freedom, Friendship and Charity. Our
receipts during the past year have been nearly
two millions of dollars. Our expenditures
for the same period for the relief of the sick, j i
the widows and orphans, burial of the dead, j
etc., have been over one miiliou of dollars. ! ?
And in addition to this good work accom- j
plished we have invested in safe securities ? 1
during the same time about one miliioo one
hundred thousand dollars. i
Verily, the Improved Order of Red Men j
has become a power in this land for good.
I have no doubt that in this large audience 1
there are some whom we, in the phraseology j
of the Improved Order of Red Men, call pale
faces who are not faint hearts, thinking, ; c
reflecting and saying to themselves : "I bad . t
uo idea that these so-called Red Men were the ! ?
class of men I Bod them to be. Under
the veil of imagination I have pictured
them to be illiterate, uneducated, unthinking
men, who for a selfish purpose or jollity and
mirth have daubed themselves with red paint
and rudeness that they might, thus masked,
in nonsense and roughness play a practical
joke upon some good natured friend. I am
glad that I r?alize my mistake, that my
understanding of their teachings, their works
and their history will lead me to seek admis?
sion into their council chambers or tepees,
where I may learn knowledge and be an
honored member of this grane organization, I
the only one of its kind that is purely Ameri
can, native to the manor born, and not pro- j
scriptive, the most powerful on the American |
continent ; an order of which to be a member j
makes you the brother and associate of the
brightest ar.d best men and women of the .
day." Great Sachems and Great Chiefs of
South Carolina I congratulate you on the
position you hold in the front ranks of the
societies of your Reservation.
If your pale face friends have a desire to en?
joy one of the best things of this life they will
at the earliest possible moment attach them?
selves to one of your Tribes or Councils of j
the Degree of Pocahontas. Do not have j
tbera wait until next moon or next Great j
Sun. Now is the accepted time. Remind
them of the old Spanish proverb : "By the j
road of bye-and-bye we come to the town of
Never."
If wise they will ??:k further knowledge
withiu our pale, and inside the council cham?
ber learn practical lessons of wisdom, citizen?
ship and patriotism, which will enable them
to unite with us, and with oneacclaim proclaim
that man's humanity to' man hath made
countless millions rejoice.
To the gentlemen of the Improved Order I
of Red Men. permit me to remark, proto?
types as you are of the Aborigineeg of our
country, your duty and your destiny is a
noble one. You have taken as your guide
and motto: Freedom, Friendship and
Charity. E?er remember that your Order
is native to the manor born, and as such
you should ever carry your banner upwards
and onwards, marked with your totem upon
it.
Representing as you do the traditions
and history of that race whose name you
bear, recollect that the 140,000 members at
present are but small in comparison to your
numbers in the future; and tbat the $2,000,
000 in your treasury are placed there for a
holy, humane purpose. To the other socie?
ties represented here to-day I would say
that you are ali banded together for the good
and elevation of your fellow-man, and so
cirry out your laws as to make our Nation,
the grandest and most noble of all the eartb.
1 bave spoken and in conclusion pray, thal
the great spirit will smile upon and bless you
ali.
After the conclusion of the speaking the
brethren and guests were taken in charge by
the committee of arrangements and marched
tu the Jervey House where a banquet was
served in the large t ew dining room which
bad been prettily and appropriately decorated
for the occasion with buuting,tomabawks,and
the symbolic letters, F. F. & C , of the Order.
Tbe Sachem of Pocahontas Tribe, Dr. S. C.
Baker, presided over the baoquet, welcoming
and inviting the assemblage to partake of the
"trophies of the hoot" spread before them,
and afterwards announced the toasts and
speakers as follows :
The Great Council of South Carolina-Past
Sachem W. H. Thomas. Mr. Thomas spoke
of the scope of the work of the Order ; said
the Great Council of Sooth Carolina is yet in
its infancy. Io the haods of the Chiefs
elected at this meetiog it will be sure to pros?
per.
Pocahontas Tribe-Past Sachem CC. Man?
ning. He gave a sketch of tbe Tribe aod its
work. Instituted Nov. 18, 1892, aod started
as the "Baener Tribe of tbe State." Invites
the scrutiny of the people upon its work.
Confident of the applause of the commuuity
for what we do.
Our Sister Tribes-Past Sachem W. M.
Fitch, of Eutaw Tribe, Charleston. Mr.
Fitch made a pointed talk emphasizing that
tbe object of each brother should be to say
words nf encouragement, and that to be a
good Improved Red Man, a man must be a
gentleman.
Tbe Great Council of the United States
Great Keeper of Records C. C. Cooley, of
Philadelphia, Pa. Mr.- Cooley began with an
anecdote ioteded to convey tbe idea that be
had "a poor delivery" to do justice to the
subject ; but of tbe balf dozen or more talks,
that be made while with the brethren here,
the last was the best. By another and touch?
ing narrative be impressed the thought, "Do
your Duty," and closed with the assurance
"It is a good thing to be a Red Man."
"Our Sister Societies"-was responded to
by H. C. Moses, Past Master of Claremont
Lodge, A. F. M. Being a member of a num?
ber of fraternal societies of the city he was able
to "peak of the good done by them. He bad
not become an Improved Red Man ; but had
been impressed with the good features of the j
Order. The words that be most emphasized
was, that the benefits of fraternity are accom-1
plished by upholding the hands of every j
brother.
"Woman"-Rev. C. C. Brown, D D. This ?
was thought by many to be the speech of the j
evening. It was full of thought, feeling and
humor, and to give an idea cf what be said
about woman as a voter, mother, wife and
sweetheart, would take more space than can
be used jost here. When you find him in a
good humor as he was with the Red Men, ask
him to tell you about that sweetheart.
Before retiring a vote of thanks was unani?
mously adopted by a rising vote of the Red
Men expressing to Mr. and Mrs. Jervey their
appreciation of the elegant bauquet and the
highly satisfactory manner in which it had
been served.
The visiting Red Men departed for their
various reservations on the next day, all
highly pleased with their stay in the Game
Cock City.
Great Chief Conley went from here to Co?
lumbia, and thence to Charleston before re?
turning to Philadelphia. He reached home
on the 16th, and has since reported to a
brother here, his safe arrival. He says that
at Columbia the brethren gave bim a ride
around the city, and introduced him i
to Governor Tillman and the "dispen- !
sary and other historic scenes." At
Charleston he was also taken to places of
interest. He says that be found all the
brethren of the noble reservation of South j
Carolina overflowing with genuine hospitality, !
and that he can never forget the week so j'
pleasantly passed in the Palmetto State.
