Tnih war" the best raTTy of "them all. Six Tents sdnt representatives and nearly one hundred earnest, errthtfsiastur Christian wo-1 nen gathered in their comfortable hall to meet the deputies. As there were only Tent mem>crs present the sisters were free to ask questions whicfc they dia ind niucn information and instruc tion was given. All showed a willingness to learn more abom this beloved order. Many learn ed for the first time, that* the Urnnd United Order of Tents oi the J. R. J. U. is in its ninety j 'ourth year and has no black mark if failure attached to its name. The success of this latest rally was largely due to the untiring work of sister Etta Jackson, recently uppointed a special depu;y in the Pee Dee district. Sister Jackson is a t?orn leader and is leaded for higher things. Another thing which contributes to the success of the Pee Dee section is the unity and co-operition among all leaders and sis. .era there. They move as one. All is in readiness for the Grand district meeting which convenes n Charleston, May 6th. A large Royal Degree Circle was organized. We shall hear nore of -this later. The deputies thanked the various sisters for their hearty response and co-operation and assure them they stand ready to come at any call. THE PALMETTO LEAD] RNAMENT I i .
