Xasterful Address by Great Sachem I Otto Klettuer Delivered at Rock Hill. itor Herald and News: he first great chiefs' scalping of South Carolina, June 15, 1910, c passed and gone beyond recall, t it will ever stand recorded as e of the most beneficial and suc essful days for the upbuilding of i -our order and the promotion of our moble principles of freedom, friend- j ship and charity towards all man- I 'kind that was ever inaugurated by i -any human being. Not only has our membership been increased about one thousand, but the good that has been accomplish -ed thereby can not be estimated. E Xnowing this, Bergell Tribe, No. 24, E which had contributed 147 new mem bers, had Waived their right and privilege of. the great sachem to visit the tribe that should report the next largest increase in membership, and 1 fbeing informed that Calumet, No. 36, 1 Rock Hill, S.

" Promptly at 8 p. m. the sachem, t Brother McFaddin, one of the most t efficient sachems in the State, call- < ed the tribe to order. About four hundred Red Men were present. All applicants for membership were ad- I mitted and the degree team in a -most I effective manner conferred -the de- i :grees. I must say that I have never < 1seen the degrees conferred better by I 'any other degree team. They are 1 certainly to be compliiented, The great sachem after exemplify ing the secret work delivered a most < erful address. It showed that a I deal of time had 'been devoted tain the historical facts of our t r. The careful preparation and' earnestUQU and efficiency with h it was delivered showed plain- 1 master mind.

This ended the meet-'C g at Rock Hill, which was pro irounced by all a great success. Yours in F. F. and C., - C. G. Blease. Pomaria News.

They' reported a movement on foot in thatt section, and it is being extensivefy talked and seems to be the universa:l' desire of all in that section to ask 0 for an election for annexation to- 8 Newberry county. They said a peti--- e tion was being prepared and would e be circulated at once.P The territory which it is proposed d to annex lies between Saluda and c Broad rivers. The line is expected P to run from Amick's ferry to Peak. ' This would certainly place those peo-- s ple nearer the court house. Railroard facilties are so conveniently arrang- v ed that the people in the vicinity of nl Peak could make the trip to New- S berry over the Southern and people b3 of Chapin via C., N. & L. Both have 1< trains going to Newberry in the early 14 morning and returning in the after- p noon and night.

Wicker Gives In- g Interesting Information About c Approaching Convention. a t The annual convention of the rural ,tter carriers of South Carolina will m Leet in Newberry July 3, 4 and 5. : he local carriers are making ela- c )rate preparations for the enter- Y Linment of the delegates to this con- t mntion and they have the hearty co-. peration of the chamber of com erce through President I. H. Hunt ad the citizens of the city generally. is the purpose of the people of ewberry to make this one of the best Leetings in the history of the assoN ation. Apart from the fact that this the home of the president, Mr. T. E. < icker, and therefore, our people are r axious to give the carriers a pleas- t at time, everything will be done c iat will contribute to the pleasure ] ad comfort of the delegates while i iey are in our midst. A representative of The Herald a I t [ews had a talk with Presidant ' Ticker in regard to the approaching C nvention and in response to a nestion Mr. Wicker said: "We have ' 1 South Carolina seven hundred and fty local letter carriers who travel I 1 the aggregate 17,000 miles and 1 andle 100,000 pieces of mail matter aily. There are," said President Vicker, "254 postoffices in South ,arolina from which rural routes minate. Most of these are' in the edmont section. The coast coun les have but few routes." - Speaking of the State association r. Wicker said: "Our organization a this State is not strong com ared with the number of car ie-s in the State, but this is largely ue to the fact that our association in he years past has had its light hid .nder a bushel. It has received lit le or no recognizition from the news apers and hence half of the carriers a the State hardly know that such n organizatioA exists. I feel sure bat the assistance and cooperation f tWe press in giving publicity to ur coming convention in Newberry uly 3, 4 and 5, will result in much 'ood for the association. It Is our 1 urpose," continued Mr. Wicker, "to how the non-association carriers, ae press and the public in general iat we have a real, live, enthusiastic orking organization that is capable f rendering many benefits to rural atrons, to the postoffiee department, nd to ourselves. Mr. Wicker has invited, and in this e has the support of the city of New erry, any letter carrier whether he j e a member or not to attend this I nvention. "Anyone wishing to ae a3int himself w'ith the objects and i urposes of our association," said Mr. icker, "is cordially invited to at- i md the session of our coming an ual convention. This session will 1 e free and open to the public." President Wicker said that they rere expecting at the meeting at 'ewberry several distinguished visi- i rs from outside the State. "Hon. a 7. R. Spillman, superintendent of the aral mails of the postoffice at Wash rgton, and Hon. W. D. Brown, editor( ! the R. F. D. News, of Washington," ud President Wicker, "have promis- 1 C to come and I am making another< Iort to get Senator Clay, of Geor- a fa, to' visit us. We are expecting iso' several of the congressmen from is State to be present." Speaking of the organization In < is State and the interest which has , een taken by the carriers, President ( Ticker said: "While only about half t ! the co,unties in the State are or- t anir.d we are working to have pres- I at one or more representatives from very county in the State. It is im- C ossible to say just now how many ( elegates and visiting carriers will 1 ame, but the local committees are reparing to entertain the largest umber of 'rural carriers ever as- , mbled in this State. "The features of the convention i ill be an address on Monday after- t oon, the 4th," said Mr. Wicker, "by < uperintendent W. R. Spillman; ai igh class banquet furnished by the I >cal association Mondi'y night fol- 1 wed by toasts galore; a motorcycle' arade by carriers who use these i achines to serve their routes; a uestion box containing questions I om carriers, patrons and anyone '1 'se to be arnswered by Supt. Spill ,. n a aceiSion 'f the road uestion. Ur course u, is ? u%=aa hat all rural carriers are strong ood roads advocates. There will be ther features equally as interesting ,s these Which I do not think of at Us moment." The people of Newberry expect to aake this a very interesting ;meet ag and are giving their hearty co peration to the local association and vill be delighted to have every coun y in the State represented. THE KING LOG DBRAG. Used by City of Greenwood-Does Good Work-Would Do Good Work In Newberry. The Herald and News has very fre ently called attention of the King oad drag and urged its use. It has he endorsement of government offi ials in connection with the road de artment of the government. It is nexpensive in manufacture and cost Lttlte to operate, and -experience. bas. aught that it does more efficient vork than higher priced road . ma. :hinery. * Sometime ago a representative of rhe Herald and News was in Green vood and had the pleasure of listen ng to a talk on the use of this d,ag )y Mr. Winfield Thorne, who also 4x xibited a model 5ing0" th eg ;truction of the drag. - Mr. Winslow, of the good roads des )artment, was in Newberry . some ime ago and stated that the log drag ivas far superior to the - steel drag md Mr. Winslow explained to Mr. 4iller, who is in charge of the coun :y chaingang, the advantage of the og drag over a steel drag. It is difficult sometimes to get red le to use anything that :is so sim le and so inexpensive as the log rag, but experience of other- places S that once this drag has been used ts use is continued. The road known as the steel bridge road from Prosperity has had ti Irag used on it and It is now prdby Lbly one of the best roads in the :ounty. These drags are now also being usA ,d on the streets of some of our ci es where those streets -are not maes lamized or laid i4 other street pav ng. Mr. Winfield Thorne, mentioned tbove, was In Newberry this week, nd in talking about this King road rag he stated that in Greenwood on y recently they had two of these, Imple and inexpensive* -Implements or use on the dirt streets. Mr. horne is an enthusiast on the sub ect of good roads as every good cit-. zen ought to be. He says that these rags were put on the streets immed-' ately after the heavy rains of last eek and notwithstanding the street uts caused by heavy teams, every nire was put In good condition in wo days. Mr. Thorne added that after this ractical experience the city ,of Ireenwood is decidedly of the opin on that one team and the King drag yould do more work than three teams and an expensive machine. Mr. [hone fufrther stated that the~ ieif lay after these drags had 'been run ver the dirt streets in Greenwood hat you could travel over 'th4m' with iut receiving a jolt as the streets rere left smooth and even. It would be a good work if the hamber of commerce would furnish drag to any community in the ounty with the guarantee that it ould be used on the roads after ach rain. The beauty about that is hat the time to use the drag is when he roads are wet and usually when t is too wet to work on the farm. And how about putting them on the irt streat of Newberry? It would ost but little ond would do good rork. The directors of Watts Cotton ills, Laurens, have agreed to sub-. cribe $10,800 to the capital stock of he Greenville-Spartanburg-Andersonl rolley company, provided the line be xtended from Greenville to Clinton la Laurens. It is thought that the ine will be thus extended, and the >rospects are very encouraging. The Vatts directors are thorough busi Less men and when they make a >roposition it is one that conts. hey are at the head of a mill that anks as one of the finest In the ;outh. Watts is able to bazk any
