The cause of the run ofl is cot known, but it is supposed that the train was running at a rapid rate mid struck a rough place in the rail and caused the cars to jump the track About one hundred and fifty feet of the track was completely torn up. Two young men, M. L. Willard ai (3 Frank Cantrell, were riding on top ol the coal cars and were thrown off on the side of the cut. Both were bruised coi.< siderably, not serious. It seems a miracle how they escaped death. Willard was caught under a oar and came near Ic ing his life. Both were brought to union wlitre ur. Hamilton dressed theii wounds. The train from Columbia whs delayed here until Op. m., where it met the 9 p, m. train from Spartanburg and transferred the passengers, etc. A track was built around the wreck by 10 o'clock tb< next morning. ?. v. Knights of Honor Banquet. J Characteristic o( this noble order i of mutual aid and benefit association, [ that it does nothing by halves, and I makes no promises It canuot and docs ! not fulfill, since its birth among the firtile fields of the blue grass region of Kentucky, imbued in its infancy with the noble spirit of patriotism and true benevolence, was fully demonstrated, and formed no exception to Its rule of conduct by the banquet given by Home Lodge 1117, Wednesday night, March i), 11)01, at the Gibbes House. Complete in all of [ Its appointments, that veteran preparer of banquets, Capt. W. Moultrie Gibbes, did himself credit and the members of tho order proud; a feast fit for tho fastidious potentates of the Orient, and the manner in which the viands were devoured is sufficient proof of the full appreciation of those who participated; very evident was it too, that tho supper was for the time the leading feature of tho occasion; but this was not all, for there was in sloro for those around the festive board, a rich harvest of food for thought and digestion. The members of Home Lodge 1117 formed a line of procession by twos at the lodge rooms, headed by the gray-haired veterans of the order, l)r. B. G. Clifford and Capt. F. M. Furr, Capt. G. C.

He advocated frequent meetings and more banquets, that they might meet and know each other as brothers, banded together in the furtherance r of a great and noble cause, that of providing for widows and orphans.
