' The descendants of Daniel M:Kinnon, a native of Kentyre, Scotland, who migrated to this country about the year 1788 met at Caledonia, this county, yesterday and organized what is the first of the Scottish clans to be organized in this country, and designated it "The Daniel McKinnon Clan," after their common ancestor. The meeting was called to order by A. M. McKintion, Eiq., who asked Mr. A. J. McKinnon, of Maxton, to take the chair. Prayer was offered by Jas. M. Graham, Esq., and papers were read as follows: 'Sketch of the Descendants of Daniel McKinnon," by Mr. A. J. McKinnon, "A Historical Sketch of the Scottish Clan," by Miss Sallie Lou McKinnon. After the reading of these papers and a general discus siou of the ways and 'means of perfecting an organization of the clan, Mr. A. M. McKinnon was unanimously elected the first Chief, and Mr. A. J. McKinnon was made its secre tary and it was determined to have an annaul meeting of the clan on th second Wednesday in- August at Caledonia chu rch. It is the purpose of this organ Jzatio n to jearn as mnch aspos Vible about this great family and then to preserve this infor mation in permanent form, and to that end several members have been requested to make ' diligent research for any infor mation of interest and profit and report their work to the next meeting. The paper read by Mr. A. J. McKinnon was very interest- - ing, and contained a historical sketch, of the voyage and then the permanent settlement of Mr. Daniel McKinnon near what is now Laurinburer. The sketch also gave a detailed ac count of his descendants up to the present day, which proved to be very interesting and full , of valuable information. The article read by Miss McKinnon lealt with the rise of the c ans and was in part as fol lows: "Historical mention of the McKinnon clan is made in 1409, the name then being Mac Fingon, or MacKinnon. The original habitat of the clan was Mull. They also had posses sions in Skye, (Strathadale). In the 18t.h century they were closely connected with Iona, the place now noted for the rains of its religious edifices, and John MacKinnon was the last abbot. There are from this time on many historical references to the chief of the MacKinnon Clan, but in 1745 the old chief was taken as pris ner while following his prince in England. He died a prisoner in the Tower in 1756, and then was succeeded by his -eon Charles, who foun'd the estates so heavily burdened;, with debt that he had to part with them in 1791., . Thus the lat , rem nant of the magnificent country held by the chiefs of MacKinnon for four hundred ; and fifty years of unbroken succession passed into other hands; After this there were two or three chiefs who succeeded to the chief ship only. In 1891 the Clan MacKinnon Society was organized and now has branches in London and Glasgow. Its Chief now is Maj. F. A. Mac Kinnon, M A." f Caledonia church is a beauti ful country church about two miles south of Laurinburg, and was o rieinally established by a Scotchman, and has a Scotch name. This church is situated in the very heart of a large number of the descendants of Daniel MacKinnon, and its membership is largely made up of these people. Thjs is an ideal place for the annual gath ering of these people. A large number were m attendance on its first meeting today full of enthusiasm, and the success of this movement is assured from the start. Resolutions were passed providing fof"badges for the members and invited guests by the next meeting. Sign of Early and Long Winter. Philadelphia Record. "The report from Cape May thit an enormous gathering of swallows had been observed tlielPeratterwhicrthie -loTfiW southward, with the consequent augury for an early and long winter," said a weather sharp, "is rather discouraging in these days of high-priced coal and other expenses, but, if it must be, so be it. The old saying that a single swallow does not make a summer may be amend ed by adding that a conference,' or mass meeting, or convention. or whatever you may call it, of swallowscannotmakea winter. Just what the Cape May swal lows detect in the August weather conditions to induce them to fly southward I am at a loss to imagine. We were having a bit of cool wbeather, to be sure, but not enough to chill even a swallow at least it doesn't affect the sparrows, who haven't any more feathers than swallows. The careful obser ver will probably note in a few days that the swallowsire com ing north again, evidently rea m " j 1 a a 1 " t . nzing tnai iney started .on a false alarm." ' BUtaa trom the Grave.
