DR.. j. s. Stribling made the ad-
dress OF welcome in his character
istic, happy style, and j. w. Shelor,
of Walhalla, followed with fine
talk, using as his theme the Eighth
District.
The POSTMASTER then introduced
Hon. John Wood, OF Spartanburg,
who, on account Of his extreme pop
ularity here and throughout the dis
trict, was heartily received. His sub
ject, Sir William, the Goat" was
delicately and feelingly handled, and
the audience showed its appreciation
by frequent and hearty applause.
Hon. j. j. McSwain, Of Greenville.
was the next speaker, whose subject,
Pythianism, was beautifully handled,
and who received the most resp pect-
ful and earnest attention throughout
the splendid effort.
Prof. D. w. Daniel was the last
speaker, whose subject, Woman"
was peculiarly well suited to his
style. Prof. Daniel Is most popular
with Seneca people who have heard
him on former occasions, and they
were naturally prepared for rare
treat, but it Is the concensus Of opin-
ion that the professor exceeded even
their most extravagant expectations,
and this was easily the best yet.
The toastmaster then brought the
happy affair to a close with appro-
pirate remarks. Everybody was in
the humor to enjoy the real spirit of
the affair, and Seneca's coterie of
handsome women were never hand
somer than in their best gowns in
which they graced the occasion. One
OF the most gratifying and delight
full features of the evenings enter
tainment was the music, which was
furnished by Seneca's own band.
This was placed on the stage, and
the several numbers used were per-
fectly rendered, the closing number,
Home, Sweet Home" being particu-
larly appropriate and effective.
10 say that all Seneca is proud of
the spirit which prompted the local
lodge K. Of p. to tender this beauti-
ful affair to their friends and breth-
rem OF the order Is putting it mildly.
1t was a big undertaking, but it was
done, and will always he remember
ed as being a splendid and perfect
success.
