The Euchre Club celebrated George

and appeared from innocent looking
hooks and corners, in fact were in evil
dence everywhere. The tables were
arranged for six handed euchre with
crimson hatchets for score cards. At
the conclusion of the game, course of
salads, followed by course of sweets
were brought in. The refreshments
were most beautifully served, small
boats snrmounted by picture of Wash
ington crossing the Delaware, being u.s.
ed for the salad. Like all of Mrs.
Washington's entertainments, the dec
! orations and pretty accessories gave
evidence of the cleverness and good
taste of this popular young matron.

In the campaign of 1892 the meeting
resolved themselves into contests of
lung power" between the factions.
When Conservative" spoke the
"Reformers" howled and vice versa.
But when the writer heard Lawrence
Orr speak it was different. His sledge-
hammer logic, his straight-from- the
shoulder masculine words coerced the
attention of angry men and as he pro-
ceeded they listened and reasoned. -
Lawrence Orr was one man who made
converts in that campaign.
In private life Col. Orr was greatly
loved. He was not "courtly" man.
For the "niceties" of life he had little
time. But he was an informed man
and progressive. He was kindly, full
of tact when tact was needed. Sham
and cant and narrowness found no
lodgment in his soul. He was liberal i'm

bluntly, but he had troops Of friends.

him and loved him. He did not patron
ize them; they met -. man to man,
on equal terms, am. Knew that he was
their friend and did not set himself to
be their master.
Physically Col. Orr was giant. Tall,
long limbed and muscular, far over six
feet and weighing perhaps $50 or 275
pounds, his figure attracted attention
everywhere. His face was strong and
full of human sympathy. No man has
lived in South Carolina who knew his
people, all kinds and conditions of peo-
pie, better. Gifted with penetrating
and at the same time masterful mind,
inexhaustible energy and industry
were his characteristics in equal meas
ure.

from the patriots who love their State,
and are useful to their fellow men, a
