L Parrott issued a call to all the Shriners then living in the city and county of Sum? ter to me*t at his residence for the purpose of organizing themselves into a band of Nobles for mutual benefit and amusement. In pursu? ance to this call sixteen Nobles of the Mystic Shrine met with Brother Parrott and a temporary organisa? tion was effected with Noble L O. Strauss in the chair, and a commit? tee on Constitution and By-Laws was appointed. At a subsequent meet? ing In June the organization was perfected, and they elected Noble E. R. Wilson its president, and Noble I?. I. Parrott its secretary and treas? urer. Noble K. R. Wilson served ths remainder of that year, and in 1912 was re-elected for a full term. At the expiration of his term in Janu? ary 1913, Noble E. S. Booth was placed at its head. The elttl started out with a mem* bership of sixteen and it now has a membership ef forty-foui. It has been the policy of the Sumter Shrine Club to giv*' some sort of entertain? ment for Its lady friends at stated perlodfl throughout the year. In fact its by-laws contemplate a shriner meeting of its member! once each month, and once each quarter to give some Shriner entertainment for its lady frlenda Those who have hud tiie pleasure of attending any of its functlone always report a good time. These gentlemen may be Bluid sober buainees men. but when they net out on tb hanks of the mill pond with the* lady friends they leave all hi si'.ess eare and dignity in the city :?:.,, are out for ? good time. During the existence of the Sum? ter Shrine Club it has made throe pilgrimages. One of the Oaata ef Ashevilte, at \\ h Ich time they were accompanied by t h. ir lady friends; and another to the Oasts of Btnartan* buri and mother to the Oasis i^C
