The members of Orange Lodge
were untiring in their efforts to make
the members of the Grand Lodge
enjoy themselves and did everything
in their power to make this memo
rable occasion for their guests.
NEAT FLOOR WORK.
The Court House, the largest hall
in the city, was crowded to the doors
Wednesday with delegates to the
Grand Lodge, a large number of
visiting Knights who came here for
this occasion specially, and mem ers
of the local lodge to see the Ranks
of Esquire and Knight conferred by
a picked team from Won Moltke
Lodge of Charleston, and their work
elicited much admiration.
The Rank of Esquire was conferred
on one candidate in most perfect
and instructive manner, and in this
degree Won Moltke Lodge called to
their assistance Gen. M. l.. Bonham
and Wilson G. Harvey, of the Grand
Lodge, Thos. f. BranLley, of Orange
Lodge, and T. Yancey Williams, of

Fatal Accident at Clinton.

Clinton, May 19.-A very sad ac-
cident happened at the Thornwell
Orphanage here this morning. AS
little Anna Anderson, daughter of
the housekeeper for Mrs. Nettie Nc
Cormick, of Chicago, was passing
leisurely through the laundry rooms
and close to the wringer, which ro-
tates at very high speed, it sud
denly flew to pieces, some of the
parts striking her and killing her
almost instantly. This institution is
so systematically run and the chill
dren looked after so carefully that
few accidents happen. This one, the
worst of all, has caused profound
grief throughout the Orphanage and
community. The children are all in
tears and need now the sympathy of
all friends of the fatherless. No one
is to blame in the slightest for the
accid ent. A flaw in the material
was the cause. The wringer was
running at the same speed it had
been for five years past. The body
will be buried here tomorrow.

Baptist Women Strike the South.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 20.-At the
session of the Woman's Baptist
Home Missions Society resolutions
were adopted placing the society on
record as opposed to the seating of
Reed Smoot in the United States
Senate and petitioning the Senate to
exclude Smoot from its councils and
to take such initiative as NAV be
necessary to secure for the people of
the United States an amendment to
the constitution making polygamy a
crime against the organic law of the
land.
A resolution was adopted declaring
that the feeling against negroes,
manifested by many white people,
and the idea that negroes were not
capable of developing a sturdy moral
character, were un- Christian and not
justified by the findings of missiona-
ries working among the negroes.

Tightly Locked From
Nervous Spasms.
Phy sicians Could
Not Prevent Fits.
DIR. Mile s Nervine Cured
My Wife.

DR.. Miles Nervine has been successfully
tried in thousands of cases of nervous dSor.
ders, but never,has it made better record than
when used In the treatment of fits or spaSms.
Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ner-
vine was given. The statement is repeated
in the following:
Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spaSms or fits and l called in my
home physician and he said she was para
lyzed. He rubbed her with salt water and
gave her Calonel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack She was confined to her
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got so her jaws would become locked.
Finally saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered bottle of DR.. Miles Re-
storative Nervine. She received so much
benefit from the first bottle that got some
more. She has taken number OF bottles
but has never had fit since taking the first
dose. She also thinks very highly of DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills and is never
without them. If there is any way Of max
ing this testimonial stronger do so because
of the good the DR.. Miles Restorative Nerv-
inc did my wife."-WM. Y. ALLEN, p. M,

GRAND LODGE KNIGHTS OF PYrHlAs.-
A Brief Resume Of the Recent Session at
Orangeburg-The New Officers.
Especial to The State. I

lopSSi"i
Orangeburg, May 21.-The 18th
annual convention of the Grand
Lodge knights of Pythias began its
sessions in Orangeburg Tuesday
morning with 800 representatives in
attendance. Owing to the large num-
ber of members in attendance, the
sessions were held il the Court House,
the castle hall of the Orangeburg
Lodge being too small for so great a
body.
Just prior to the Grand Lodge
convening in executive session Hon.
Thos. G. Doyle, mayor O. the city
and an enthusiastic knight, wei
coined the Grand Lodge to Orange
burg in behalf of the city, and Capt.
Joseph A. Berry, a Past Chancellor
of the lodge, extended the welcome
in behalf of the lodge. These ad-
dresses of welcome were responded
to in fitting and appropriate manner
by Senator George S. Mower, Grand
Chancellor, Col. John M. Knight,
Vice Grand Chancellor, and Gen. M.
l.. Bonham in behalf of the Grand
Lodge.
Following these happy felicitations
the floor was cleared of all not en-
titled to sit in the Grand Lodge,
which then opened in due form. All
of the Grand Lodge officers were in
their places.
The first business before the Lodge
was the comforting of the Grand
Lodge Degree on the new members
and it was found there were IS can
didates for this degree, the largest
number to receive the degree at one
time in the history of the Grand
Lodge.
The amendment offered at the
last session of the Grand Lodge to
change the da'> of meeting from the
third to the second Tuesday in May
was voted down, as this change of
date would cause conflict with the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, which
meets the second week in May.
A substitute was offered changing
= the amendment TO read the first
Tuesday in May, and under the con-
stitution this amendment lies over
until the next meeting.
iho IcpolI VI Inc Oldlu lOuSc
officers, printed in pamphlet form
and distributed among the members,
is very interesting. The Grand
Chancellor says, in part: "The Grand
Lodge at its last annual convention
appropriated 5000 sfor the mainte-
nance of such orphans as in the judg-
ment of the Grand Chancellor de-
serve the aid of the Grand Lodge
No case has been called to my atten-
tion and no part of the appropriation
has been expended. | recommend,
however, that the appropriation be
continued. The fact that no appeal
in behalf of the orphan has been
made is evidence to my mind that
the subordinate lodges are meeting
their responsibility faithfully"

Barn Burned in Laurens.

The barn of George G. Hopkins,
two miles south of Clinton, in Lau-
rens county, was burned Sunday
night, May 17th, together with two
mules belonging to Mr.. Hopkins and
horse of Methodist minister, who
was spending the night at Mr. Hop
kin's house, and a large amount of
provender. The loss is estimated at
fully $4,000. There is insurance for
$1,000 in a Greenville mutual COM
pany. 1t is believed that the fire
was of incendiary origin, all the cir
cumstances pointing to it. No ar
rests have been made.

Veterans of Anderson County.

Anderson, May 22.-Steps are be-
ing taken to arrange tor reunion of
all the Confederate veterans in the
county to be held in this city some
time during the summer. The sug-
gestion is made that mid-summer
festival be held, to cover two or
three days, to take place during the
latter part of July and to wind up
with big barbecue for all the vete-
rams in the county. The old soldiers
as well as the people of the county
generally need to have little play
and recreation occasionally, and no
better time could be had than the
middle summer season when the
crops are laid by. The Chamber of
Commerce will take the matter in
hand.

M|LLIONAIRE'S SON
KILLED BY POLO BALL
Nathan Swift Dies From Effects
of Blow on Temple Re-
ceived in Game.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Nathan, son of
Lonis F. Swift. the packer. died to-
day from the effects of play on the
temple with a polo ball at Onwentsia
field, during a game. The accident
was at first thought to be trif1ing.
Swift was playing in a contest in which
his companions were Frederic Nc
Laughlin, w. w. Rathbone, Walter
Farrell, Sidney Love, Walter Keith,
r. r. Mccormick and Charles Garfield
King
The ball which struck Swift, was one
tnat went high in the air and from
the mallet of Mr.. Love- Swift did not
appreciate his danger until too late
the glare of the sun preventing him
from following the ball in its flight.
When the ball hit him he did not fall
from his saddle and when his compan-
ions went to his side, he was at first
inclined to make light of the injury.
He was induced to dismount, but
walked without aid from the field. Ar
irving at home he complained of dizzi-
ness, and later he went into delirium,
which was followed by his death.
The accident which resulted in Mr..
SWlfts demise, occurred yesterday af-
ternoon. During the night an opera
ton was performed to relieve a rup-
tured blood vessel near the brain The
operation, which was performed at
the country home of the Swift family,
west Leigh, in Lake county, seemed
to give relief, but the effect was only
temporary. Three physicians worked
over him constantly until the end.
Nathan Swift was born in Chicago,
in 1881. He was an enthusiastic ath-
lete, being especially devoted to foot
ball and polo.
