Some Very Nice Things Said About the
Recent Rebekah Convention Held in
Newberry.
The Tri-State Odd Fellow, pub
lished at Greenville. and edited by
I. R. PedIen. in a recent issue says
'oevery clever thing about the
recet Reekahconvntion held
here. on the invitation of Mc
Caughrin Rebekah lodge, of this
city,- for the purpose of framing a
petition to the grand lodge of Odd
Fellowvs for a State Rebekah as

Following are extracts from the
report of the convention contained
in the Tri-State Odd Fellow:

six candidates from Laurens.
"This team is as fine as we have
in the State. and they do the work'

of brill Master T. M. McEntire.
who deserves much credit for the
accomplishment. This exercise was
more than interesting to the visi
tors."
A fter mentioning 'the fact that
several candidates were given the
Rebekah degree the Tri-State Odd
Fellow says of McCaughrin lodge.
its officers and degree team:
" iss Ltcv Tones is the noble
grand and M\iss Hattie Vaughn;
vice grand. These are two spark-:
ling Jewels that we know of in this
lodge. While we did not get to
meet miany. we can speak for these
sisters' ability as officers. When we;
come to the drill work in the team,
it was as goo(I as we ever -,aw in
this State-everybody was simply
charmed to see them work. Grand
Representative T. M. Davis is the
ririll master of this team. and he. as
well as the team. deserves great
credit for the advancement they are
making: while - knowing what a
great Odd Fellow Brother Davis is.
we were not greatly surprised."
It is stated that the discussion on
the matter of the formation of a
State Rebekah assenibly was open
ed hy Past G. C. Theo. Daniel
sen. of Newberry. who made a
speech on the work and importance:
of a Rebekah assembly and that
the discussion ended with a rous-;
ing speech from Grand Master C.
L. Blease. of Newberrv. on the
subJect of the advisability of or-:
ganizing a Rebekah State assem
bly.
The article in the Tri-State Odd
Fellow closes as follows:
"After the convention adjourn-'
ed. the members were invited into
the banquet hall. where they were
served with an elegant collation by
some of the fairest damsels of
Newberry. To say we enjoyed this
feast does not express it. You
ought to have seen Bro. W. as he:
took a half moon custard at a bite
-he kept his hands busy feeding~
his face and a little "Becky" feed
ing him too with a big spoon.
"HURRAH! for Newberry.
May their interest, enthusiasm and
hospitality never be less.
FAIRBANKS FOR VICE-PRESIDENT.
t Is Said That He Has Yielded to the
Demands of His Party and Will Ac
cept if Nominated.
A dlispatch from WVashington says
that Senator Fairbanks was shown;
a published dispatch stating that he
had "decided to become a candidate:
for vice-presidlent." He declined
to) make any statement.
The Star' tonight says: "Senator
Fairbanks will not resist a nmove
nent to make him the vice presi
dential nominee of the Republican
paty If the convent ion nonminates
him lie wvill accept. More than
that, lie will not attempt to discour
age efforts looking to his nomina
t10n.
"It is oniv fair to sav that no ex
plicit dleclaueniP by AMr. Fairbanks
to' that effeet has been mtade. The
I ndiana delegationi in congress was
cone.r1 todaky tE at Senator Fair
hank; had ' ieided to the solicitation
of men hi h in tle cotunciis outside
