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

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

Old Town Lodge Properiug-PAcnic
by the 6hool--Town should
be Moved.
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.

A telegr'am was received in Newv

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.

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.
