Colored Odd Fellows Hall and School
House DESTROYED by Fire.

A fire, which broke out about
2 o'clock Friday morning, COM
pletely destroyed the hall of the
colored Odd Fellows and the
school house for colored children
adjoining. About six months
ago the Methodist church, col.
ored, which stood on the adjoin-
ing lot, was mysteriously des.
troyed by fire. At the time OF
this first fire, there was a schism
in the church, which still exists,
and it was then hinted that the
fire was not accidental. In lieu
of a place of worship the Odd
Fellows placed their hall at the
service of the colored congrega.
ton, many of whom also belong.
ed to the lodge. The fire of
last week has added tenfold to
the suspicion that both fires were
the result of spite work, and col
ored circles are moved to the
last degree of indignation. AS
one brother eloquently puts it,
"The guilty should be promptly
rejected to the domination OF
the law"
The hall and furniture were in.
sured for $500.

For the hrst time since 1897
Memorial Day was formally OBJ:
served in Kingstree on last
Monday. Every year the local
newspapers have endeavored to
work up a sentimentin this ai.
rection and it was with no LITTLE
qualification that we beheld the
grand success OF Monday and We
hope and believe that each sue.
ceeding year will find undi-
minished the patriotic enthu.
siasm of our people which finds
expression in honoriug the dead
heroes of the Lost Cause. The
exercises of Memorial Day were
under the auspices of Camp
Presley and it is but just to say
that the splendid success Of the
occasion is due mainly to the
tireless zeal and energetic efforts
of Mr. n q Kinder, the Com.
mandant of the Camp. With
him it was a labor of love and
he is entitled to a vote of thanks
for this service in memory OF
his departed comrades who
wore the gray.
AS is always the case the Ia.
dies responded nobly to the oc.
casion and there was furnished
a rich profusion of fragrant
flowers sor decorating the sol.
diers graves, which Office was
performed by their own fair
hands. Another year We would
suggest that the citizens or the
town give the veterans picnic
on Memorial Day and thus hon.
or the living as well as the
dead.
The orators of the day were
DR. F W Eason of Charleston
and Editor Philip q Stoll.
DR. Eason's address was a fine
effort. He spoke OF his first
visit to Kingstree forty years
ago as a member of Hardee's
Command. CThe Doctor was a
Captain, by the way, in the Con-
federate army. He drew a thrill.
ling picture of events leading
up to the bombardment of Ft.
Sumter and spoke with the deep
feeling of one who knew at first
hand all he uttered. His trib-
ute to the Confederates was
touching and eloquent and
evoked much applause; but
when he declared that time had
proven the principles for which
the Confederates fought to be
right and that the rights of a
sovereign State We're now con.
ceded to be sacred and inviolate,
thus vindicating the position
upheld by the South for four
long years of war, his audience
burst into loud and spontane'
Gus applause. The foregoing is
not even an attempt at a synop'
sis of DR. Eason's speech. We
should like to print it in full,
but lack of space forbids.
Mr. P q Stoll followed with an
address appropriate to the day,
which was well received. He
paid glowing tribute to the Con.
federate leaders, whose ::valor
was equaled, however, by that Of
the rank and file. Marshaliug
in array the heroes whose deeds
adorn the pages of history he
showed that none was the supe.
rior of Lee and Jackson. MIR
Stoll's speech showed careful
preparation and the manner in
which he delivered it impressed
his hearers very favorably in

plauded throughout and his ef'
fort elected much admiring
comment.
