It was our pleasure to attend the meeting of the Great Council of Red Men in Anderson the past week. We have attended several meetings of the Great Council. We believe all are1 agreed that th'6 one In Anderson was i the most delightful of any in recent' years. The people of Anderson gave every evidence of hospitality that could be expected from any communii ty. We all felt that we were welcome. The welcome meeting in the court house was largely attended and the welcome addresses were all above the average and greatly enjoyed. They were timely and well delivered and, breathed the true spirit of genuine hospitality. The responses by representatives of the visitors were also in good spirit and every one left the meeting feeling better for having been there. We desire to express our personal appreciation of the kindly courtesy j and hospitality extended us by Col. Billy Banks of the Daily Mail. Col. Banks is on his job as editor of the j Mail, and it is due largely to his ef _ i~~ a nn'crcnn that there : IOrCS ILL UUU5ling is so much cooperation on the part ! of the people of Anderson for any-j ^ thing that will help the community. * We wish you mighty well, Col, Banks, i "Anderson is my town" is a good slogan and they all know how to tell it, j and tbere is much to back it up. j The meeting of the Great Council J was a successful one, and the busi-1 * 31 ~ ?? V?nei n.DCjdlltp. i ness was nanuitru m a I manner, and we believe all the mem-1 befs left the meeting with a deter- j mination to do more for the order dur- j ing the next Great Sun than has been j done heretofore. ? Brother Otto Klettner is probably j the most beloved member of the Great i Council, and does more hard work i than any other member. He was elected Great Representative for a term of two years and received every vote that was cast. Gov. Blease is --r_. ?? with thp Red Men <A1!>0 Vtlj pup u iui and has influence in the transaction of the business. He is also a Great j Representative. ' - .L : The next- meeting will be held in the goodly town of Rock Hill. ? Say a good word for the man who does things whether you like him or not.?Anderson Mail. That is good doctrine, but the trou-; ble is that they do not say good things for him, as a rule, until it Is too late - - j- mr ornnr? Tt RfPms tO US 10 uu mm aiij I sometimes that the people rather like| the man who does nothing. i I l The Anderson Mail says: "Editors are getting their innings ihese days. There are two in Woodrow Wilson's cabinet and another, Col. E. H. Aull, will be te next head of the Red Men in South Carolina." Don't forget Brother Knight, ^the popular postmaster of Bamberg. We congratulate them all.?Orangeburg, Times and Democrat. ! The beauty about the inning which Brother Knight has is that the job furnishes him a substantial staff upon which he can lean and we congratu t+ ,-c nr>+ often that the laie mm. n editor gets substantial recognition from the politician whom he has made. We are expecting Brother Sims to' land before many moons. Here is another excerpt from the j editorial columns of the Anderson Mail: "Cooperation is what has made success for Anderson in the past. And -\ve will keen it ur>.'' SuDnos-e you ap-! ply it to Newberry and see how it works for awhile. Without cooperation there can he no success in any community. That is what is needed in Newberry. I i $><$><$><$>3><S><$>Ne>'$><S><?><$><$><S><$><?>v$>: <e> ^ <?> j <$> THE IDLEK. <?>! $> <3> $><$>-$><$><$>>$><$>< > I think I read in the papers the, other day?or some time n. - so long asio?that the civic association of^ Newberry had set ai'.de a d->y or a; w<?k as cleaning-up da ' 01 week. I :hink a week is the thing. It will taKe' a whole week?a week of good honest j work to make the town look like it ] i should. Somebody says that it was old Ben Franklin who promulgated the axiom that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness," but some how it seems to m<e that we have higher authority than Ben, but that makes no difference, for the axiom is as true as gospel, and we are glad that the civic association is paeacmng tni& gooa aoctrine 01 clean-, Iiness. And I hope there will be many: listeners and many converts to the; preaching. ?o? Speaking about cleaning up and such things reminds me of a paint adver- j tisement that I read the other day. It was entitled the creed of the brighten up club. It may do some good to pub-! lish this creed just at this time. It has six planks in its platform, and they are ail good. Listen to them. Pocir? tViom "To brighten up myself?to be optimistic, cheerful and good natured. "To brighten up my home and spread the brighten up spirit among my neigh- i bors. "To brighten up my business and; take pleasure as well as profit from j it. i "To brighten up my town and promote its social, industrial and commercial progress. "To promote thfe lovie of nature, sunshine and fresh air. "To adopt brighten up as my slogan." ?o? Cleaning up week should not mean1 simply the cleaning up of the trash and debris in the back yards and thej streets and alleys of the city, but, should mean a general cleaning up and brushing out of cobwebs from the*' mind and heart and mouth, and a j clean tongue. I want to see a clean town in every respect. Let every one, resolve during this cleaning up week i to h-ave clean hands ad clean words, and clean thoughts. Let every one adopt the boy's prayer of President Hyde of Bowdoin college: "Give me clean, hands, clean words and clean j thoughts; help me to stand for the; hard right against the easy wrong; i save me from habits that harm; teach me to work as hard and play as fair: in Thy sight alone as if all the world saw; forgive me when I am unkind,' and help me to forgive those who are unkind to me; keep me ready to help others at some cost to myself; send me chances to do a little good every day, and so grow more like Christ.", I would add to or change just a little bit of this prayer. Instead of asking that "chances" be sent to do a little good every day, I would say give me strength and courage and unselfishness enough to take advantage of the opportunities which present themselves every day to do good to my fellowman, and to do that good in an unselfish spirit without the hope o: immediate benefit to myself.' That is what we need. We need it ii^ business, we need it in social life, we need it in community life. We are too much interested in our noble selves, and too often forget, forget, our neighbor and the little good tnat we couia ao 10 uun without cost to ourselves, but unless we make some sacrifice to do it we get very little real benefit. Suppose we all adopt brighten up as our slogan just for once. Get optimistic, cheerful, good natured. Brighten up the mind. Brighten up the soul. Brighten up the heart. Brighten up the tongue and let it continually speak good things and cheerful words of the community and of the people. Brighten up your thoughts so that you will think pleasant things of every one and you will feel better. ?o? Of course this cleaning up week which the civic association has set apart is for the physical condition and health of the community, and it is well. At the same time it would not be out of place to have all sorts of cleaning up weeks in Newberry. That is to say, the cleaning up of all sons of things that need to be cleaned. The trash and debris all over the streets and ditches of the town does not give an attractive appearance, and I sincerely hope that all the people will co-operate with#the ladies and let us * ? ~ ~ 1 nave a. rfcu cicau I I am pleased to note the improve- j mr-nts that the supervisor is making! around the old court house building, j and the improvements that he has! n^ade at the new court house. This is j right and I want to see some good work put on by the city in making j F-rix- of the main stre'ts more . n nci table. [ believe that it is true that all silver loving cups have three handles. I nonatr if the people generally kno v v.h.v this is thus. I didn't until th-j oth(:. day I read it in a newspaper. I hr.ve never had a silver loving cup presented to me, and, therefore, have never examined one closely. I thought ^it might be of interest to some to know why three handles. Maybe every one knows already, but I confess I did not. The story which I am going ot give you is said to have been related by the late Lord Lyons, who was British ambassador at Paris: "King Henry, of Navarre, (who was also Henry IV, of France), while hunting, became separated from his companions, and, feeling thirsty, call' ed at a wayside inn for a cup of wine. The serving maid, on handing it to him as he sat on horseback, neglected to present the handle. Some wine was spilt ov*er, and his majesty's white gauntlets were soiled. "While riding home, he bethought him that a two-handled cup would pr-event a recurrence of this, so his majesty had a two-handled cup made at the royal potteries and sent it to the inn. On his next visit, he called again for wine when, to his astonishment, the maid (having received instructions from her mistress to be very careful of the king's cup), presented it to him, holding it herself by each of its handles. At once the happy idea struck the king c5f a cup with ' il.. three handles, wmcn was prompuy acted upon, as his majesty quaintly remarked, 'Surely out of three handles I shall be able to get one.'"
