UP a Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, January 27, 1911. Newberry: The city that does things. -Newberry Herald and News. Ches ter certainly can.-Chester Lantern. Nobody said it couldn't. But why doesn't it? How about that Friend street light for the union station crossings? Now that the Southern railway has sent a man here and the Southern has no objection to the light being placed near its tracks, why not have the light? What says city council? The newspapers are mistaken in saying that Miss Euphemia McClin tock is the first woman who ever ad dressed the legislature. The late Mrs. Virginia D. Young several years ago made a ringiing appeal to the legisla tors on woman's suffrage. The newspapers which have been bewailing because the State would be overrun with blind tigers as a result of Governor Blease's action in revok ing the commissions of liquor con stables would have saved themselves much anguish of spirit and much space and ink if they had waited a day or two. The Browning bill to turn the entire feirtiizer tax into the State treasury subject to appropriation by the legis lsture is a measure along the right line, and we hope that it can be pass ed and that it will not conflict with the decision of the Umited States supremie court as to the fertilizer itax. The bill is published in full in The Herald and News today. We believie city council would do well to pass an ordinance making it a misdemeanor for others than em ployes to walk on or alongside the -railroad tracks in the city limits ex eept at public crossings. There have thelen a number of fatalities recently, sand each strongly impresses the need for such a law. The death of a negro yesterday afternoon is the latest. It ~happened in the usual way-attracted by thie noise of a train on another 'track lhe did not hear the engine bear ing down upon him. THE SOUTHERN POWER CO. We b'eieve that the coming of the Southern Power company to Newberry 'will mean a great deal for the city, and -we hope that city council may see its way clear to grant a franchise which 'will 'be acceptable to tis company, at the same time, of course, protecting the rights of the city. The granting 'of a franchise which will bind for sixty years is, as urged by the city attorney, a very important matter, and it is no doubt better that council should investigate the matter th.or'oughly, as it decided to do, be fore taking final action. We trust, however, that after a full and thor ough investigation, the committee may find the situation such that council and thle company may readily agree 'upon the terms of a franchise. The entrance of a public service corporation of this character into Newber-ry can not but aid the material growth of the town. THE NEWBERRY JAIL. The Herald and News publishes to day on page three letters from Sher iff Buford, Supervisor Feagle and Act ing County Physician Ellesor to the Newberry delegation calling attention to the insecurity and the highly unsan itary condition of the Newbarry jail. This matter has been reported by the grand jury on a number of occa sions, but the supervisor has been powerless to act without money. The jail is sorely in need of repairs 'and improvements, and it is very much to be hoped that .the Newberry dele gation will take action in the matter at this session. It is the county's duty to the unfortunat? criminal class and to the -unfortunate innocent who may at any time be charged with crime that they shall be surrounded during imprisonment by sanitary and health ful conditions, and it is the county's duty to society to have the place of imprisonlent secure. The Newberry jail is also sadly lacking in accommodations for female pr.isoners. It is an important matter, and one demanding attention. NEWS OF PROSPERITT.

Grand Chancellor, Grand Prelate, G. K. R. & S., and Rev. Mr. Bristow Present. The annual banquet of Newberry lodge, No. 75, Knights of Pythias, giv en in the dining room of the Crotwell hotel on Tu.esday night, following the public installation of the officers of the lodge in the cast.le hall, was a suc cess from every point of view and a most delightful affair. The installation of the officers was by Grand Chancellor J. Walter Doar, of Georgetown, assisted iby the other visiting officers and members of the grand lodge. The visitors included, in addition to Grand Chancellor Doar, Grand Pre late F. S. Evans, of Greenwood; Grand Keeper of Records and Seal C. D. Brown, of Abbeville, and the Rev. L. J. Bristow, of Abbeville, a member of the grand lodge. The banquet was served by the Bachelor Maids. A fine menu had been prepared, and it was elegantly serv ed. The menu was as follows: I. Grape Fruit Maraschino Cherries II. Rost Turkey Cranberries Rice Gravy Biscuits Ham Macroni Pickles Coffee III. Waldorf Salad Saltines IV. Ambrosia Pound Cake V. Salted Peanuts Mints Following the supper, there were several appropriate talks. Col. E. H. Aull, editor of the South Carolina Pythian and chairman of the board of publication of the grand lodge, acted as toast master in place of Dr. A. J. Bowers, who was detained at home on account of illness in his family. The Grand Chancellor. Grand Chancellor Doar responded to the sentiment, Pythians in South Caro lina-"We are brothers; generous to each other's fau.lts, ready to acknow edge each other's virtues, hel-pful to each other in distress, rejoicing with each other whien fortune smiles." Grand Chancellor Doar said that this was his first visit to .Newberry, and expressed himself as charmed with the city and its -people. It was a double 'pleasure, he said, to be here and to be served by such fair and charming women as the Bachelor Maids. After a few pleasantries, the speaker, tak ig up his subj:ect, said there were over 13,000 Pythians in the grand do main of South Carolina, and over '70, 000 in the supreme domain, banded to gether for one purpose, one result the elevation, the happiness and thie betterment of mankind. He spoke of the work of the order and the good which it is doing, and said he hoped the day would soon come when would be realized his fondest ~hope-the es tablishment of a Pythian home for widows and orphans in this grand do main. He believed it was highly es sential to have such a home. He want ed to see a home erected "whose walls should be of f.riendship, whose pillars shall be of charity, covered all over with benevolence, and the very atmnos phere within ,impregnated with broth erly love." He spoke of his gratifica tion in harvin.g so many mninisters of the gospel In the organization. He said that at a meeting at Allendarle the Rev. Dr. J. W. Wolling had come to him and told him he wanted to become a Knight of Pythias, saying that he realized as never before that by be longing to the organization he could rach men whom he otherwise could nt reach. Grandi Chancellor Doar closed with a peroration in which he exhorted ev er Pythian to adopt as his motto the living for the good he could do. The Grand Prelate. Grand Prelate F. S. Evans. of Green wood, had for his theme the Practical Side of Pythianism-"It's deeds must win the prize." Grand Prelate Evans said that th'e object of the organization was to bind the brothers together not only that they mnight promote their own inter ests, but that they might act so as to show to the outside world that the principles taught behind closed doors were intended for the elevation of the human race. It. was a mistaken idea. he said, that ti" Knig~hts of Pythias v:as a secret organiztionl. it was not a secret or der, he 'said. It was true there were certain signs by which brother might recognize brother which were not re vealed to the outside world, but the principles of the order were not secret, and should not to~ kept as such. The duty of a true Pythian was to live a -ife tha woulrd teah the principles of th order to zhoso unfamiliar with them. The practical side of Pythianism was the life if every member-his deeds and actions-to show those not membrs what Pythianisin really means, and what the real intention of Pythianism is. Grand Prelate Evans' address was a forcible exposition of the practical duty of Pythians, and it was inter spersed with appropriate anecodotes which were well told. Mr. Harvey Eegrets. The toast master announced that he had been requested by Grand Master of Exchequer Wilson G. Harvey, of Charleston, to express his regrets at his inability to be present. Speakers Absent. It %vas a matter of regret that Su preme Representative M. L. Bonham, of Anderson, and District Deputy Grand Chancellor A. M. Deal, of Co lumbia, who were to have -sponded to toasts, were una:ble to be present. The Ikev. Mr. Bristow. The Rev L. J. Bristow, of Abbeville, a devoted Pythian and member of the grand lodge, responded to the senti ment, Benevolence-"And learn the luxury of doing good." The Rev. Mr. Bristow's address was -a gem of word painting and contained a great deal of thought expressed in beautiful lan guage. Benevolence, he said, was the desire to do good, the disposition to do good, the love of mankind, an earnest desire to promote every happiness. Beneficence was the fruit of benevol ence. Benevolence was of the heart and beneficence was of the conduct. Pythianism in instilling benevolence would 'reach the heart. Benevolence was always touched by the cry of dis tress. He very beautifully pictured the close of day among the Alps, and told how, after the valleys were cloth ed in darkness -the mountain peaks were yet touched by the light of day, and as the darkness crept up and cov ered them, Mt. Blanc stood rearing its head up into the light long after the other peaks were veiled in the shad ows. So, he said, benevelonce lifts proudly its 'head .above all other vir tues of Pythianism and bathes in the eternal sunshine of the face of God. "And, f-riends," he continued, "every virtue of PythianLism comes from God." The si calucr brought to the mental .is ion a l.'dscape which ha1I mEt his gan~ in the early mlorniag a he 'vas~ crossing a mountain ridge, its verdure and its flowers and its crystal waters and al-l its glories being transmuted sunshine. "And so I dare to stand before you," he said, "and tell you that every virtue of Py thianism, as every other virtue of hu man life in any sphere, is but trans- ' muted Godliness, it is 'but the reflec- c tion of the divine, for if there is any a one pirinciple that stands above all < the others in Pythianism it is that we are the offspring of God." The speaker referred to a great novel of Robert Louis Stevenson, wherein it was related that in a storm at sea an affrighted passenger came upon deck and after watching the man at the wheel for awhile saw that man smile as the 'eyes of the two met, and I the passenger had immediately gone below and told his fellow-passengers that there was hope, because he h'ad 3 seen the face of the pilot and he smiledj "We are all sailing over the sea of life," he said. "Oftimes are we tossed by its fierce storms. The hand of ~ brother -reached out 'will support us ilovingly and longingly to the full ex tent of human 'kind. But there come times amid the stress and storms of t life when even. frienship and brother- I hood will not avail if meriely human. ~ Blessed be that man in such a time ~ of stress and storm if he can look be yond the clouds and through them, ~ and feel the 'hand from a divi'nely ~ benevolent heart reached out to sus- E tai him. Blessed be that man who I in such time of storm and stress can C say to impotent frie:1ds about him, 'I have ses'n the face of the Pilot and he! smiled.'" " Dr. J. Henry Harms. t Dr. J. Henry Harms, president of' Newberry coll.ege, responded to the ( sentiment Charity--"He hath a teara for pity and a band open as day for C melting charity." Dr. Harms began by claiming for charity that it was the queen of all the~ I graces. He said that on this occasion he was remninded of' the Knights of* King Arthur-of Sir Gallahad, "whose: t strength was as the strength of ten 1: because 'his heart was pure'"-and the 1 others, who rode abroad redressing I hu.man wrongs. In these 'work-a-day d~ times, said Dr. 'Harms, a new ki'nd 'of t knighthood was dem'anded. Modern c knighthood is the knighthood "that wears the smile and benediction of our t God." He spoke of Clara Barton and a 'Florence Nightingale and the others, I wh had gone down into the iniquities 1 and woes of the world to relieve them,. r as examples of the kind of knights,s t.he age demanded-a knighthood that'e Irides abroad redressing human wrong,a riding in the swift, sweet chariots of human love.

I felt very much honored aving been specially invited by thei inguished doctor, and -then having * mgive me another cordial "come in." had no idea what wzas in store for1 ,or I would have tried to make 1 e preparation for so glorious an I: esion. The house was crowded with < ecleverest people imagina'bl-e. I, I ig very cold, took, I think, the only 4 cnt chair next to the stove, and as bnt over to begin to warm, not 1I eming what was coming, the doc rsaid: "The first subject for dis-3 usion this morning is Township Or-] nzation; the speaker assigned to2 3subject is Brother A. D. Hudson, < dBrother Hudson not being present 3all call on JIudge Chappell to take iSplace." I have often felt embar ased on being suddenly called on to I p.k. but I don't think that I was( vrso comnpletely fossilized before in 1 y life.

The loctor very kindly thanked me for starting the ball to rolling, which ~roved later on to be quite interesting. Phe doctor then arose and announced hat ~the next subject was the Home epartiment, to be discussed by Mrs. 3arence Pitts, who, with the dignity ) a queeni, walked out where all ~ould see and gave a talk on the sub-d ect which only a bright mind and a histian spirit could ~give. Indeed, o. 6 is fortunate in having in her nidst such a nobae woman as Mrs. Pitts. Rev. Mr. timer also added luite a good deal to the various sub ects. He, being accustomed to public ;peaking, it was no trouble for him. [he Adult Bible Class was next die mssed, and as I -felt that I hadnmade uch a failure in m.y first effort, being scared almost to death at so suddeni L request, I decided that I would try t again as I was quite familiar with # ,he adult Bible cless.

She evidenty had' given the subject much study, as I ever heard a subject more thorough y discussed; indeed, it was quite a .reat to 'hear her -and I will say and tm ure that I can be sustained by the rowd, that it was much better than I iave heard from what the public call ~xperts.
