FOURTH DISTRICT OONVENTION Delightful Meeting and Good Con vention--Gov. Ansel and Oth ers Speak at Banquet. The 4th District Convention, Knights of Pythias, met in Newber rV on Tuesday afternoon in the fra fernity hall iwith Newberry Lodge No. 75 and O'Neall Lodge No. 154, at 4 o'clock. The convention was opened by the offleers of Newberry Lodge, and it was then turned over to District De puty E. H1. Aull. There was a fairly good representation present from the twenty-two lodges in the district, though some four or five lodges were not represen.t V1. No regular program had beenl arranged except that re ports were received front the various lodges and these showed that there was general progress of the order throughout the district, the gains in imelblhership beinr ma12,terial. Some iew lodges have beei instititted and altoethr tlie order scemted to be in -omod condition inl this distriet. A resolttion was adopted unani nMsly etdorsiln tie candidacy of Mr. .1. F. Williams, of Columbia, for Grand Prelate at the approaehing eonvettion of the Grand Lodhge at, Alderson on the 2Sti. Mr. Williams is a Imtemtiber of Myrtle Lodge in Co 1umbia. next to the oldest lodge in this state. lie has been a menthers of tiis lodge for more thlan a quarter of a centuiry. and duritr that time ias been a faitlhfil and etlieient work er for. the cause of Pythianism. A resolution was also adopted recom mending tie establishment in this do main of a Pythian journal, which shall be supported by the Grand Lodge and sent to every Pythiatt in the state. The growth of the order during the last year ias been. remarkaible. and there are now more than 12000 Py thians in South Carolina. Mr. E. H. Atll declined re-elee tion as District Deputy, and Mr. W. A. Shealy, of Leesville, was unani mously recommended for this posi tion. The appointment is made by the Grand Chancellor at the conven tion of tite Grand Lodge., and is made tipoln tite recommendation of the dis triet coivention. Mr. Shealy is ain active worker in Pythianism, and no doubt will arouse new interest among the lodges in .this district. This dis trict is the largest nstrict in the state, having several more lodges in it than anty other. After discussing some matters per tainting to the good of the order, the contvention was aljournted, Edgefield ltaving been selected as tite place for the next convention, the time to be 'ixed by tite District Deputy. after contsultinr wtit the members of tite F.do-efield Lodge. At 9.30 at night a most delightful dininter was served at the Frederick Hotel, which was enjoyed by thte vis itingr Pythians antd the memnbetrs of Newhetry L~odm.e and 0O'Neali Lodge, there beittg some 150 plates. After the dinntetr Toastmaster E. H. Auli presented Hotn. M. L. Smith, of Camdett. who( is at p)resent Grand Vice Chtancellotr of thte state, antd will be made Grand Chancellor at the next convetion of the lodge. Mr. Smith dlelivered a most eloquient talk on the subject of Pylthianism, Followingi himt was Conuresstman A. F.

It was our pleasue on last Thurs day to make a visit to Old Town Lodge, Knights of Pythias at Chap polls. 'This lodge when it was first instituted 'held its meetings at Old ,Town, but 'afterward some of the members decided to withdraw and form a new lodge at Mt. Enon in Sa luda county, and it was"decided that the place of meeting for Old Town Lodge should be changed from Old Town to Williams store, and through the kindness of Mr. J. H. Johnson, who lives at the Williams place, a room in the second story of the old Williams mansion has been fit ted up as a meeting place for the lodge. This lodge is now In fairly good shape and has a membership of from 35 to 40, with Mir. Sam Werts as chancellor commander and Mr. J. Y. Floyd tis keeper of record -and seal. On Thurday pight they had eleven candidates, who were given the see ond rank, ten of whom also took the first rank. These candidates coin pose t1hose among the best citizens of that community and the lodge is now in good shape and we are satisfied will do much good. The -members of this lodge had a most delightful supper, which they served before the lodge convenled, and meetings of this kind, where men of the neighborhood get together in a social way, do good apart from the principles which are taught by the order of the Knights of Pytliias. On Friday morning it was our purpose to return to Newberry -by 10.30 in time for the memorial day exercises. Unfortunately the train was four hours late and fortunately we were enabled to spend the time very pleasantly through the kindness of Miss Marion Williamson, who is the teaeher of the school at Chap pells, and who was taking her child ren out to a picnie in Saluda county. The pienic was in a bea-utiful grove about one andi a half miles from Chappells. and in addition, to spend ini the time pleasantly with the iii dren and parents we were enabled to enjoy a most excellent picnic din ner, and among other things had the opportunity of renewing the gaines of youth by playing numblepeg with the children. Miss Williamson has tanlt this school for t.wo sessions and 4has eiv en -eneral satisfaction. She drnes from Virginia and the patrons are Ver-y anxious for her to take the school for another session. Really there should be established at Chappells a high school un.der the Provisions of the act providing for these schools, which was passed by the last session of the le2islatttre. We hope the People of Chappells may get one of these senools. Nothing dlefinite has yet been done towanrds moving the town to the hill just beyond the p)resent location. It should be moved. The bank should be0 established andl then this would he one of the b)est trading points in the county. The Stevenus Bros., and Webhb Bros., aire erecting new stores at the old t(wn~u but these could 1be easily move.d or' used( as warehouses. We understand that by fall the toJwn will be doing business on the hill. This is a fine section of Newberry county. Good farm lands and an in telligent citizenship. There is no rea son why there should not be a flour ishing town at this point. Died In Washington. A telegr'am was received in Newv berry yesterday by Annie Rutherford, cEoored, stating that her son, Eugene, was kille the night before. It was sign-~ ed1 by .Joseph E. Ruther'ford, a broth er' of the b)oy who was killed. Eugene worked1 for Mr'. P. F. Bax ter' before going to Washinigton, about a year' ago, and JIoseph wvorked in. Mr'. Hiair's barbei' shop.

A arge Oi4 Attonded the Anuual POnio at Utopia on May Inaccordance with previous an, nouneemen't a large crowd gatheret at Utopia to the annual school pie. nie. , This school was taught by tie late Prof. J. E. Hipp until he was taken ill with typhoid fever whiel caused his death. Prof. Hipp waE greatly loved by his pupils and many are the feelings of regard expres?e by the people of the community foi him. Fortunately tie trustees secur. ed the services of Prof. Brown of Prosperity to complete the unexpired school term. The patrons are desir ous of having him as prineipal foi another year. Miss Minnie Blair of the community has been assistant during the winter months with entire satisfaction to all concerned. On this closing day speakers had been invited to address the visitors Their talks were necessarily devoted -to educationial themes. Superintendent of Eduneiton Wheeler was fh'st in troduced. He was -at one time teach er of this school and recalled a few pleasant memories of his stay t,here, He further enumerated the sources of revenue to support our public schools stating that a total of about $32,000 will have been raised for school purposes in the county at the close of the school year June 30, the five sources being, the constitutional three mills levy, extra tax levy, poll tax, dispensary profits and dog tax. A nice balance of about $10,000 will be carried over to the credit of the schools for another year. Rev. Mr. Best, pastor of Newberry Circuit, was the next speaker. He spoke in a manner which showed that he appreciated some of the difficulties under which p4irents with a large number of children to educate labor. He urged parents to send a child to school the whole term alternating years rather than to send them parts of each session. He referred in a very forcible way to the baneful ef fect of cigarettes on the minds of boys and expressed the hope that the schools might be instrumental in ban ishing this one of the greatest foes of the mental progress of boys of school age. Rev. 8. P. Koon, pastor of St. Lukes church was present and .after telling several jokes which wn his Way to the attention of his audience he pointed out that people are gra dually drifting toward the towns, but showed that the rural mail delivery, telephone and other conveniences are making t.his less and less necessary. And saidl he in substance: the better ment of the country school is too making it more desirable to remain in t.he country and let it never .have to be sAid that a -man must move to the city to educate his children flor the country can have equally as good if not better schools than condi tions in the towns will permit. Calls for "Brown'' forced the master of eremonies to respond wvith a speech. He began by making a most unreasonable statement that he could not make love to the girls-had tried and flailed-nor make a speech. If he sulcceeds in the former as well as he did in t,he latter, whlich doubtless he has already has or can do, he need not be an- old bachelor. In a few well chosen words he advised his pupils early in life to form a definite pur pose and( keep that ever before them. He thanked the people of the corn munity for their kindness while mong them. 'IUhen dinner was announced and no comment on that is necessary as everybody knows how well these good people can entertain along that, line. The afiternoon 'was spent in social intercourse 'and pleasure takcing. Thus passed a most enjoyable day. Utopia is one of the best schools in the county. They have a large commodious building with every con venience of furniture and .teaching appliances. Too they p)urch.ased dur ing the session 1905-6 a library of about six'ty-five volumes under the AulI schio$ library act. The ,trustees make an effort to secure the best equipped te.achers. Many boys and gi-rls have gone from this school to different 'colleges of -the state. The prospects for another school year are bright. Compressed. Icieies. Mr. John H. *Wicker, Manager of the Newberry Farmers' Oil Mill and Ice Plant, was in the city last Satur day to see about placing some of his ice here. It is hoped he succeeded a'nd that Newberry ice will keep Lau rens cool all summer. Let the cold wave roll in and on.-L~aurensville HJerald.

Defeated Newberry by Easy Playing --Orouch Put to The Woods. Due West. May 14.-Erskine col lege easily defeated the much-touted Newberry team here this afternoon by ..:,oire of 8 to 2, and by winning the game won the state championship, having won nine games out of ten played. Erskine was not at her best today, but it \vas not needed, as the Luther ans never had much of a look-in, Crouch was batted hard and had to retire to the bench, while Cline, who took his pdace on the firing line, wvasn't mneh better. The 14 hits pounded out by the Seccders shows what was done for the visiting pitch. era. On the other hand, Moore was very effective and the hard hitting Liuth erais could do no more than bingle three tiries. His work was the fea ture of the contest and coupled with the .heavy hitting of his teaan mates won easily. 'The fieldring. of eaoh team was rag ged, 11 errors being made in the cons test, but Moore was given support wvhen it was most needed.
