Mr. Editor: Please allow roe through
the columns of your pai>er to contradict
an alleged endorsement made by me of a
patent medicine termed "Doans Pills,"
advertised for sale through your paper
by some of the local druggists. The
statement appearing under the head
"Doubtful Humors" is absolutely untitle,
with fact or foundation, as I have
never in my life used the patent medicine
mentioned. Very respectfully,

Freight Wreak on 3. U. A C,
On last Mot day about one o'clock as
the second section of the through freight
traiu was coming down that grade neai
the county poor house, running at s
rapid rate of speed, six coal cars weic
derailed, flw ??f 'heac cars were completely
ton ii.io uplinters, coal scattered
right ai i! left. 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. ?.

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. Ferrin and Mr. L. N.
Zealy, guest of honor, followed by
the remaining members, marched to
the dining hall of the Gibbes House,
where they were joine'd by a number

pleasures began. The tables were
well laden, beside eaoh plate rested a
tiny bouquet of violets, wich inspired
sentiment and whose breath of fragrant
sweetness bespoke the presence
of womun. At the conclusion of hostilities,
the manfully fought battle
with thy burden of the boards, a war
of words came next in order. Dr. M,
W. Culp was toast-master, and after
u few appropriate introductory remarks,
called upon I)r_. B. G. Ciillord
to respond, to the history, work and
growth of Home Lodge 1117. Dr.
Clifford said the first lodge of Knights
of Houor was organized at Louisville,
| Kentucky, June 3, 1873, and in June,
! 1878, Home Lodge 1117 was organ-'
I ized, which showed its rapid growth
from its inception. Dr. Clifford gave
a graphic statistical account of this
lodge, Interspersed with with wit and
( humor. Upon the serious Bide of
his report he disclosed tho fact that
this lodge has paid in death benefits,
to the families of decei^hi members,
i nine thousand dollars m^^^jthan had
been paid into the lodge its organization.
Many other interesting
./acts connected with tho life and
> work of this lodge were related that
' we canuot ill this necessarily brief
^ account undertake to chronicle. Dr.
, Clifford resumed his seat amid show>
ers of applause.
Next called upon was Mr. L. N.
Zealy, of Columbia, S. C., State reporter
of the Grand Lodge. Mr.
Zealy gave a glowing account of the
, spread and growth of the order
throughout the United States, placI
ing South Carolina fourth in member;
ship. Ho spoke most encourugingly
of the outlook, showed b^ facts and
r figures the sound, safe and reliable
basis upon which it was operated,
. and urged those who were not members,
young and old, to join. 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.
Mr. Zealy was cjuite happy id his remarks,
converting and convincing;
handled the subject as one thorough^
ly earnest and sincere in ail he advo.
oated. The conclusion of his address
. was greeted with prolonged applause.
t Rev. L. M. Ricewas nextcalled upon.
5 Mr. Rice was profuse in his praises
of the order, after listening to Mr.
I Zealy and Dr. Clifford, it was his
f first introduction' fnto real merits of
i the order and the true character of
I its personality. Mr. Rice was followI
ed by Rev. A. G. Wardlaw and J. A.
Sawyer, none of whom are members
5 of the K. of H. Kach received most
hearty applause for*their kind words
' of commendation,
j Mr. R. E. Browno was called upon
and delivered himself In charming
, facetiae, followed by brothers John
G. Farr and J. M. Greer. The toast
master, after speaking of the power
i of the press for good or evil, called
? upon us as one of the representatives
of the local press; we regret our inI
ability to respond owing to hoarse.

Mr. W. W. Oolton, one of the local

and responded in a few words of appreciation
of the pleasures of the
evening.
In conclusion Dr. M. W. Culp
made a few appropriate and characteristic
remarks, creating roars of
laughter and applause. Thus ended J
the most highly enjoyable and instructiue
occasions in the history of
this lodge. We regret that we were |
