U ~ S VOL XLVI N0. 42 NEWBERRY, S. (C., FRIDAY. MAY 28, 1909 TIEAWE.$.0AYA r PYTHIANS ADJOURN. Have Never Held a More Successful Session-Election of Officers a,nd Other Business. News and Courier, 27th. After two days of business and pleasure happily combined, the an nual conv-ention of the Southl. Caro lina Grand Lodge of tihe Knights of Pvthias came to an end last night. -Various matters of importance were disposed of in Vhe business session yesterday morning. In the afternoon a most agreeable excursion to Fort Sumter and up the harbor to the navy yard was tendered the visitors, and in the evening they were enter tained very pleasantly indeed at the Sehuetzenplatz. The present conven tion was generally pronounced to be one of the very best that has ever been held in South Carolina, and the delegates and visitors seemed one and all to enjoy its various features. The grand lodge will meet next year in Bennettsville. Matters of -importance and of gen eral interest to 'he Grand Pythian Domain of South Carolina were acted upon at the session of the grand lodge yesterday morning. T'e following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Past Grand Chancellor-L. S. Mat tison. of Columbia. Grand Chancellor-A. G. Rembert, of Spartanburg. 'Grand Vice Chancellor-J. Walter Doar, of Georgetown. Grand Prelate-F. K. Myers, of Charleston. Grand Keeper of Records and Seal -C. IJ. Brown, of Abbeville. Grand Master of Exchequer-Wil son G. Harvey, of Oharleston. Grand Master-at-Arms-J. Ligon Reeves, of North. - Grand Inner Guard-H. K. Cotting ham, of Dillon. Grand Oout Guard-W. R. Fish burne, of Columbia. Past Grand Chancellor Mendel L. Smith was elected Supreme represen tative tc sueceed Supreme Represen tative Edmund Bacon, whose term ex pired at this time. Mr. J. Thomas Arnold was elected to succeed himself as a member of the board of publication of the grand lodge. As to Use of Name. The pommittee appointed at the meeting of the grand .lodge in Aiken last year "to. ascertain if there is a legal remedy t.o prevent the use of tihe name of Knights of Pythbias, badge, ritual, etc., by those not entitled thereto"'-the real purpose in the ap pointemnt of the committee being to seek a legal remedy to prevent the use of the name of the order and the ritual by negro lodges-reported that the committee had held two sessions in Columbia, at both of whicih the grand chancellor had been present, -and that after thoroughly going over the situation it had been decided that it would be advisable to await the final termination of a case now pend ing in Georgia. It was stated in the <report of the committee that the grand lodge of Georgia had been suc -eessful in its conten'tion so far, but tihat the case was now on appeal, and it was thought that its final adjudica :.ion woud settle the whole matter from a legal standpoint. The report was received as information, and the committee was continued until the next session of the grand lodge. M. D. Kirk, of Columbi.a. presented a proposition to repeal the sections of the grand statutes providing for the publrication of the South Carolina Pythian. He stated that this propo sition was presented in order to bring the paper before the grand lodge fair ly and squarely on its merits. Mr. Kirk 's resolution was tabled without discussion. Legislation. The judiciary committee submitted an unfavorab~le report on the proposi tion of Gamocock Lodge, No. 17. of Sumter. to limit representation in the grand losig t one delegate at large and one additional delegate for every one hundred members or frsction thereof. The unfavorable report of the judiciary committee was adopted, killing the proposition. The juiiary committee recoin mended that the proposition~ of Mr. Hartwell M. Ayer to repeal the provi ions f the grand statutes providing for -the payment of per diem ani mi eage of delegates to the grand lodge, i be printed in the minutes and lie over ( for consi,deration until next year. The report of th;e committee was adopted and the proposition will come up for c discussion at the next convention of I the grand lodge. E The Pythian. The report of the board of publica tion of the grand lodge. having in e.harge the South Carolina Pythian. was s.ubmitted by Mr. M. Rutledge Rivers, seeretary of the board. Ac companying the report was an itemiz ed statement of the receipts and dis bursements of the board, together witch a full and detailed report of the e transactions of the board in tha man agement of the paper during the past year. The report showed that, not withstanding considerable items of t expense. which it ihad been necessary E to incur, but which would not have to be incurred hereafter, the cost of the paper had been kept within the 1 appropriation maae by the grand lodge. The grand lodge adopted and approved the report of the board of puiblication. and was practically un- < animous in its -decision to continue I the paper. In connection with the report of the board of publication Mr. E. H. I Aull. chairman of the board of pub lication and editor, and manager of the South Carolina Pythian, submit- ' ted his resignation as chairman and n1ember of the board, for the reasons which appear in his letter of resigna- - ,tion. The grand lodge refused to ac- f cept Mr. Aull's resignation. and con- I tinued him as cbairman of the board. t His letter of resignation to the grand c lodge was as follows: C "To the Grand Chancellor and E Members of the Grand Lodge, t Knights of Pythias. of South Caro lina: I herewith hand you my resigna tion as member and chairman of the c board of publication of .the grand lodge. I take this action for the rea- 1 son that I understand it is desired by t some of the Pythians of this Domair, to submit propositons for the editor- t ship and management of the Sout!1 Carolina Pythian, and, inasmuch as I E am editor and manager of the paper, t it may be that I should no, rema'n a t member of the board, which most I pass upon these propositionz. Fra- t ternally yours, E. H. A tll. I The sentimen,t of the, grand lodge t was that the interests of the paper could best be promoted by continuing Mr. Aull on the board, general satis- x faction being expressed in the paper as now issued. r The -report of the committee on state of the order, submitted by Mr. Hartwell M. Ayer. showed a steadye and healthy growth of the grand ( lodge along all lines. It Mr. Mendel L. Smith offered a res-'' olution to the effect that the supreme representatives of the grand lodge be instructed to advocate in the supreme lodge an amendment to the supreme ~ statutes, under which the grand lodge could create grand masters of exe chequer and grand keepers of records 1 and seal, who have served for ten years continuously, past grand chan-e cellors. The resolution was adopted. Ic The object of the resolu:tion is tshe i manifest desire on the part of tihe c grand lodg~ to make Grand Master of Exhequer -ilson G. Harvey a pasti grand chancellor. The Thornwell Memorial. Mr. Frank P. Cooper. chairman, submitted the report of the Thorn well memorial committee, showing that more than .$3.200 -hadl been col-c leted by the committee during the past year for the establishment of a1 mmrorial to the late grand keeper of records andl seal. Dr'. J. H. Thorn well. Te'h report showed earnest and I faithful endeavor on the part of the I committee. The committee was con- . tinued by the grand lodge, and it was 1 dcided to invest the money, which has been raised and to divide the in come arising from said fund among the churech orphanages of the State in proportion to the number of orphan children of deceased Pythian fathers unde r the care of the same.H At the suggestion of the ways and means committee. the sum of $1,000 was appropriated for the furtherance 1 of organizing, by equipping. etc., the 1 uniform rank. Knigids of Pythias. Upon the recommenda,tion of the 1 ways and means committee the sum of1 erof w.: a'mnpr-ated, to be equally livided among the three orphanage a1 this State--Connie Maxwell. a ireenwood: Thornwell Orphanage. a "linton. and Epworth. at Columbia. The ways and means committee ree immended that a past grand ohancel or's jewel be purchased and present d to the retiring grand chancellor Jr. L. S. Mattison, and this recom aiendation was enthusiastically adopt d. This committee reported tihat thi iooks of the grand keeper of record nd seal had been examined. and hai ieen found absolu.tely correct and ex ellently kept. The committee paid , ery high compliment to Grand Keep r of Records and Seal C. D. Brown. Tie ways and means committe, urther recommended that the pe apita tax be increased to 80 dents he amount from which it was redue d some time ago. This recommen ation was adopted. Suitable resolutions, presented oi e]alf-- of the special committee, b: 1r. C. C. Sims. upon the deatih o )ast Grand Chaneellor H. Fran] Vilson, were adopted. and on motioi >f Mr. J. Walter Doar the gran odo-e paid a. further tribute to th emory of its deceased past grani -hancellor by .rising a.nd remainin tanding in silence for one minute. The election of officers for the en ning year was then entered upor Vith the result as above given. Resolution of Thanks.

Tihe re presence of lions roaming at night on te. the veldt is not disturbing to any na the tive nor to whites who have come -to reunderstand the beast. Persons re ltturning to their camps after nightfall do not notice the roaring of .lions or the cries of leopards or hyenas. ht It is seldom tihat people bent upon ,a domestic errands carry weapons in mny the darkness, although at night the Mr veldt of British East Africa is alive . ehe with roaming beasts, which may be ary neard from the verandas of the hous sts es.

When oits e'sespe is disputed it will, especial om.ly if wounded, try to maul its enemy ofwith teeth and clams. be A lion hunt is usually a chase in at which the hun-ters goad the game into in- combat. Once a lion has tasted hu man blood, ihowever, it is no more s_afraid of man, but learns that he is weakest of animals and the choicest _ .of meat.
