GRAND K. OF P.-ANDERSON.
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
