It was our plea-sure to attend the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias which met this week inl Anderson. This is probably the largest order of any of tle fraf-ernal organizations in the state and the Girand odge is Coin posed of m11ore representiat ives than any other. There are now in South Carolina 175 active subordinate lodges withl a, membership of about 12,000, and at each'l alllittal convention (1, the 11n111d ]Ldg there are firom three to four hu 1dred l,yt hians preselt. The at tenthainee this year was unusually IargC as well is representative. The convention lasted for two days and was one of tile most harmom,10u1 ua M enjoyable mieetings that we have ever had the pleaisure of nftending. The hospitality (if the people of Anderso.n and the cOrdiality with wh'Ih tMe rm, resentatives were received was parti enllarlY noticeable to those who had the pleasure of at-tending this eon vention. Addresses of, welcome were deliver ed by Mayor McCully. who portray ed in loqu en t langnae the ialny ad- 1 VaniCes and the growth ad develo ment of the city of Anderson and at tile same11C timle assired the visiti.Ng Kilihts that the keys of the City Were turned04 over, (to (heml dulring_ thirll stav.

A delight.ful b)arbecue -dinner was fur'nished the Gr'and Lodge on Wed nestday and it was served by Mr. James Dunhla r. of Nt'wherry.

The p)opulatiin and buinelss have increased greatly during the past year, and it was stated by some gentlemen that during this year a new house has been built for every day in the year. It has a fine system of electric cars and there will soon be completed a line to Belton, which will be extend. ed to Greenville. A great deal of work has been done and is,now in pro gress upon the improvement and wid ellilg of tle streets. In fact the city will spend $125,000 ait once upon the improvement of (lie strcets. Paved sidewiilks are being extended to the residelie se(t iol and tlie streets are bing Inid in vilrified brick. Some of lie 'sreets 'liave beciln widenied as nm11eh as tenl feet anld m1oreC, and I was (old t11ha alreldy1 a.bout. six miles of street in tihe seelion of (he town where file property was most valuable hiad beenl widenled 10 feet, and it had 14 eost tle city onle Cent except to ave tlie stroels improved. As this is a subject which has been agitat in our people here to somle ex lent witi indifTerent results, we inontion this to show tle public spir it which is exhibited in Amderson, where land is even more valuable (han1 it is inl Newberry. in the hope that it may awaken our people to eirii- own best interest.
