^.irtnn, July 31.—Despite n deluge
thet mode the dny suitable only for
gatherings of devotes of Roger Wil
liams three hundred Calvinistic de
scendants of Daniel McKinnon, first
of the clan to settle in North Caro
lina, revived the annual reunion of
the McKinnon family Thursday. Seven
states were represented among the de
scendants of the first McKinnon.
Male members of the clan sustained
their ancient reputation for being
good providers, and their women folks
upheld the best of the family tradi
tions in the matter of cooking. The
dinner that was spread might very
weli be set up for a model for all the
picnic dinners that are to be spread
anywhere hereafter. There was twice
as much as all three hundred could
eat and cooked accordingly.
Henry A. McKinnon, son of the
former chieftain of the clan, the late
Sandy McKinnon, of Maxtor, was
elected chief of the clan McKinnon.]
Miss Mary McKinnon of Laurinburg.
was made secretary, and D. K. Mc
Rae of Laurinburg was made treas- i
urer. Miss Lillie Blue McKinnon, of.
Laurinburg, was named to collect the,
history of the clan in America, and
keep it. * t
Daniel McKinnon came to North
Carolina from Kintyre, Scotland, in
1782 coming up into North Carolina ^
through the port of Charleston. He)
was among the last of the Highland
ers to migrate to this State. He set
tled in what is now Scotland county,
and raised a family of nine children.
Among the descendants today were
McKinnons, McCormicks. Murphy's,
McNeills, McLeans, Wrights. Mcln-,
tyres and many other collateral
branches.
Brief historical sketches of each
branch of the family, beginning with
the nine children of Daniel McKinnon,
were read by his descendants, as part
of the program, which was staged in
the auditorium of Carolina college.
The music was in charge of Mrs Ruth
McKinnon Morgan. Mrs. Anna McKin
noh Pegram, dietician for the Battle
Creek sanatorium, had charge of the
dinner.
(By H. C. MacKair)
At 10^0 o'clock Thursday morning,
July 29, the McKinnonsa from near
and far met at Carolina college for
what was the first reunion in 15
years. Many hearts were gladdened at
the sight of familiar faces, as the fel
loW-clansmen met over the register,
which was in charge of Misses Sarah,
Elizabeth, Margaret, and Katherine
McKinnon. From there they proceeded
to the auditorium where the genial
McKay McKinnon was master of cere
monies.
the meeting was opened w)th pray
er'by Rev. R. F. Munns, after which
Henry A. McKinnon, one of the
State's most promising young attor
neys, welcomed the members of the
in behalf of the trustees of Car
olihsi college, Maxton, and the two
counties, Scotland and Robeson.
Mr. McKinnon read a letter from
R$y. Luther McKinnon, sent to the
clan at the time of their last reunion
in. 1911. Rev. Luther McKinnon was
until he became an invalid, president
of Davidson coliege, and was one of
the ablest men of his day.
Mr. Will McKinnon, of Wadesboro,
then made a short tail: on Iniiuence of
the Scotch on Education, and refer
red to the young people as the hope
of North Carolina. Then clan was
then given the privilege of hearing
the lovely voice of Mrs. Ruth McKin
non Morgan, who sang "Mary Of
Argyle" and "Ye Banks and Braes of
Bonnie Doon." '
The seven branches of the family,
descendants of the seven sons of Dan.
iel McKinnon, were represented as
follows: Peter McKinnon, by Miss
LiHy McKinnon of Laurinburg; Chris
tian McKinnon, by Mrs. H. A. Cet
tingham of Fayetteviile; Jeanette Mc
Kinnon McCormick, by Mr. Colon Mc
Cormick of Laurinburg; Katherine Me.
Kinnon Murphy, no report; Daniei
McKinnon, by McKay McKinnon III,
Msucton; Alexander C. McKinnon, by
Mr. A. C. McKinnon, Maxton; Mur
doch McKinnon, by Mr. L. W. McKin
non, Maxton. After these reports, Mrs.
Morgan again favored the clan, sihg
in# this time "Annie Laurie" and
"Coming Thru' the Rye. " s
At this time Mr. McKinnon called
attention to the fact that four gene
rations were represented, and repre
sentatives of these took their places
on the platform. These were: Mrs. L.
D. McKinnon, third; Miss Sarah Mc
KtHhin, fourth; Mary Johnson and
Ana McLean McKinnon, fifth; Miss
Katherine MeLaurin, sixth; Mr. Na
thapiel McCormick, third; Mr. L. C.
Braddy. fourth, Sandy McKinnon,
fifth; Jewell MeLaurin, sixth.
Miss Mary McKinnon,of Laurinburg
read the names of those who have
fiad since the last reunion and reso
httfons of respect were passed. A teie
gtam from the oldest living member
of the clan was read. This member is
John McCormick, of Mississippi, and
he 4a 9$ years old.
After these interesting And inspir
ing exercises were concluded a sump
tions picnic dinner was served in the
dining room of the college, instead of
in the grove, on account of the threat
ening weather. .

pntbn were:

150 MISSING IN BAHAMAS
AND PROPERTY LOSS 8 MILLIONS
Terrible Havoc Wrought by Tropica!
Storm on Islands and Nassau Made
Desolate.
Nassau, New Providence Island
Bahamas, July 30.—(AP)—Ravaged
hv wind and wave and with more than
150 persons missing, the Bahama Is
lands remained virtualiy ispleted
from communication with the outside
wo**!d today whiie anxious residents
took further c unt of the toll of de
struction from the worst hurricane in
the recorded historv of the islands.
The majority of those missing are
believed to have been drowned with
the sconce fishing feet which has
n t been seen since it set sail three
davs before the West Indian hurri
cane struck the islands Monday
nip*ht.
Several weeks must elapse hefore
the official toll of death and shipping
and property damage is known.
While conservative estimates place
the damage at $8,000,000, reports
have not been received from several
islands of the group and communica
tion with them may not be establish
ed for days.
Nassau the beautiful capital of the
Bahama group, with a population of
more than 12,000, presented a pic
ture of desolation. Debris from up
rooted trees, wrecked houses and
splintered boats washed up by the
waves, cluttered the stately drive
ways of the ancient city, where vir
tuaiiy ai! business has been suspend
ed. Abandoning efforts to repair her
ruins, Nassau turned first to search
for the missing sponge fleet and to

Only three fishing smacks were
left in Nassau harbor from sixty
craft which were moored there Sun
day. Between 150 and 200 sloops are
j missing with the sponge fleet. Har
bor officials estimated that, at least
seventy-five vessels were destroyed

counting the sponge boats, some of
which possibly found shelter on isolat

THE PASSING SHOW

The Wholesalers shipped a biil of
goods,
to a Crossroads merchant down in
the woods.
The goods arrived and forwith re

used,
The shippers, it's said, went up in
air,

hair,
They wrote that merchant he'd better

or else they'd make him rue the day,
They wrote the raiiroad Agent there,

The Banker was asked to answer
stating,
the merchant's Dunn and Bradstreet
rating,
The Mayor-, too, was asked if he,
could name a lawyer and state his fee.
The answers came in one short note:
"Dear Sirs and Gents",—the mer
chant wrote,
"I received your letter that I'd better
pay,
and haste to advise you, I still say
nay,
Your tetter to the Agent I got,—you
see,
the railroad Agent here is me,
The one to the Banker, well, you
wasted a stamp—
I'm President of the bank in this here
camp,
Therefore it pleases me much to say,
my rating is carried as A double A.
You wrote to the Mayor—yes, that

I'm him, he, or it, you dear old Sox,
I hate to disappoint you, truth com
peis nre to say,
I'm the onliest Attorney down this
way, \
And now if I wasn't the Parson as
well,
I'd invite your firm to step to,

When dropping into such foolish
rhyme,
It's hard, to kick the brakes in time.
Onc-hundred-and-sixty-seven new
lawyers turned out of the legal fac

Every paper carries accounts of
suicides. How in the name of ail that's
wonderful do they find the time to
do it? Seems as if side-stepping
razor heroines, shooting revenwers,
and gunmen parsons, would keep one
passibly busy, without troubling one
seif over such matters.
