troductory remarks first presented
Hon. W. Boyd Evans, OF Columbia,
who spoke on the Principles of the
Order of Eagles" He gave a brief
history Of the organization of the
Order of Eagles, and followed this
interesting historical sketch with an
account of the rapid growth Of the
order in all sections of America. The
concluding portion Of his address
was devoted to a statement Of the
principles and purposes underlying
the order.
Rev. C. C. Brown was next intro
duced, the POSTMASTER assigning to
him the general subject Of "Ornithol-
ogy." DR.. Brown discussed "birds, !"
big and little, grave and gay, in hu-
morous and irth-provoking man
ner, that brought him round after
round of applause.
Mr.. H. c. Haynsworth responded
to the toast "The Fraternal Spirit, !"
handling the subject in a serious and
effective manner, but enlivening his
remarks with touches Of wit, humor
and anecdote.
Following Mr. Haynsworth, Mayor

COMMITTEE IN CHARLESTON.
The Game Cock City Means to Have
Line Of the Proposed Inter-Uro2n
Railway.

Three we'll known citizens Of the
city of Sumter, the Hon. r. I. Man
ming, Alderman Hugh c. Haynsworth
and Mr.. Emmett I. Reardon, secre-
tary Of the Sumter Chamber Of Com
n7erce, were in the city yesterday and
attended the Commercial club smoker
last night as the guests Of President
Samuel Lapham. These gentlemen
were here representing the city coun-
ell and the Chamber Of Commerce of
Sumter to meet the party Of northern
capitalists who are backing up the in
ter-urban railway scheme of the
South Carolina Public Service Cor
poration. An invitation was extend
ed by the Sumter delegation to the
promoters of the inter-urban railway
to visit Sumter before returning
north. Sumter wants to get line Of
the proposed railway built TO the
Game Cock city. Sumter now claims
$4,000 people and all who are in the
least familiar with the town know
that it's citizens will average up with
those Of any other community in
South Carolina or anywhere else. One
and all they believe in Sumter with a
belief that is fixed and unchangable,
that does not vary with the seasons,
and one and all they are ever at work
for Sumter, led by such men as
Messrs. Manning, Reardon and Hayns-
worth.
Last evening Messrs. Reardon and
Haynswcrth, through the courtesy Of
the management Of the Commercial
club, held conference with the pro-
moters Of the South Carolina Corpor-
alton, and as a result Of that confer
ence Messrs. Reardon and Hayns-
worth are assured that the capitalists
will, in a few months, be in a position
to consider the proposition of con-
structing the line from Sumter to con-
meet with the trunk line from Colun2-
bia. From Sumter the line will be
extended to Darlington and Marlboro
and other Pee-Dee towns.
The Sumter gentlemen said last
night that they were very favorabfy
impressed with the gentlemen from
New York, and that they have no
doubt of the sincerity Of their pur-
pose The promoters gave the Sum-
ter visitors to understand that they
would visit Sumter during April or
May, when the plans will be more
fully set forth. If proper inducements
are offered, and Sumter business men
show themselves willing to support
and cooperate with the capitalists,
there is little doubt but that Sumter,
together with ether cities, will soon
have improved transportation facili-

The EAGLES BANQUET.
mzE EAGLES, NEST a SCENE OF
FESTIyITY LAST NIGHT.
Made Hampton Aerie Entertain
Large Number of Friends at
Most Enjoyable Banquet in the
Handsome Club Rooms.

Wade Hampton Aerie, Fratera1 Or
der of Eagles, which was organized
less than one year ago, gave what
might be appropriately characterized
asa house warming in the Handsomely
appointed club rooms on South Main
street Wednesday evening. Officially
the entertainment was termed the
first annual banquet, but it was more
than banquet in the ordinary ac-
ceptation of that term, for there was
"a persuasive spirit Of hospitality and
good fellowship that made the many
guests feel at home in the Eagles
Nest, and caused them to enjoy every
moment of their stay.
The guests, among whom there
were many ladies, upon their arrival
were welcomed by the house COM
mittee and ushered into the richly
and attractively furnished parlor
where they were entertained with a
piano concert until the hour appoint
ed for the banquet arrived.
The banquet board-four long ta-
b1es-was spread, two in the large
central hall of the club rooms and
two in the reading room opening off
the hall. The tables were tastefully
decorated with holly, which was the
keynote Of the color scheme, red and
green, which was artistically carried
out in all the decorations. In addi-
lion to the brilliant Illumination af-
corded by the electric chandeliers, red
candies, in crystal candlesticks and
eandlebra, placed at intervals on the
tables, diffused rudy glow that
softened the more garnish light from
the incandescent lights above.
The banquet, which was served in
courses, was furnished and served
under the direction of Mrs. Agnes
Bogin, and was dainty and delight
full feast of good things, beautifully
served.
