From the reports of the Great Sa? chem and the Great Chief of Wampum it appears that the order is in a very satisfactory condition, and while no great extension of the order in this State has taken place the past year it has not only held its own but bas increased in membership, and the finances are in a much more satis? factory condition than has been for several great suns. The report of J. H. Hair, Great Representative to the last Great Coun? cil of the United States was quite comprehensive and intersting. Among the statements it contained were that the total membership of the order in the United States is 334,r>90, the in? crease in the past year has been 45, 094, and the total worth of the Tribes is 83,230,818.4."). A representative of thc Great Inco honee of the United States, in the per? son of the Great Junior Sagamore, John W. Cherry, of Virginia, was promised at this meeting, but he was unable to come. At the afternoon session yesterday the reports of the different committees and other routine business of the order I was completed, after which the elec? tion ot officers for the ensuing year was held resulting as follows: Great Sachem, E. C. Steinmeyer of Charleston. Great Senior Sagamore, Cole Ju. Blease of Newberry. Great Junior Sagamore, C. E. Tolley of Anderson. Great Prophet, Wm. McGowan of Spartanbnrg. Great Chief of Records, B. C. Wal? lace of Sumter. Great Keeper of Wampum, Wm. Fitch of Charleston. For the next place of meeting of the Great Council invitations were ex? tended from Spartanbnrg and from Anderson, and the selection was made by ballot, resulting in favor of Ander? son by a vote of 45 to 12. At the evening meeting which was convened at 8.30, about two hours was devoted to the local tribe for the pur? pose of conferring the Adoption degree upon a Pale Face by a degreo team made up from the members of the Great Council. This team was headed by Past Great Sachem J. H. Hair of Bergell Tribe, Newberry, and was largely composed of members of the same tribe, which is one of the largest and most enthusiastic tribes in the State. The work was well done and was a delight to all present. The Great Chieftains were after? wards installed together with the sub? ordinate chiefs appointed by the new? ly elected Great Sachem. The appoint ed Great Chief's were: Great Sanap, Chas. Holst, Charles? ton. Great Mishenewa, R. F. Hoyt,. Sumter. Great Guard of Wigwam, S. G. Carter, Newberry. Great Guard of the Forest, W. M. Poliatty, Warrenville. The work of the session was com? pleted and the Great Council adjourn? ed about 11.30 last night. The session was very harmonious and the business was dispatched with more than usual facility. All the visitors have expressed themselves as delighted with the visit to Sumter and many of them even said it hss been one of the pleasantest in the history of the Great [Council. During the recess for dinner the members of the Great Council were re? quested by Mr. Winburn to give him an opportunity to take a p;,:iure, and they assembled on the Graded School grounds for the purpose. A fine pic? ture was secured and the Council decided to have a plate made from it to be printed in the minutes of this session. - ? ?
