i\< kkask 3ik.^fksish*. i Delegates Told of >V<>n?li rful Increase in Their Membership Purine: the Past Year. Greenville Piedmont, 22nd. There is not a visiting Elk who has the slightest question of the warmth and sincerity of his wel- j cone to the Pearl of the Piedmont. J The "Bills" realize that they are welcomed by the entire city and not simply by their antlered brethren. At the opening meeting of the State association of Elks last night, this spirit of welcome and hospitality was fittingly expressed by Proctor A. Bonham, the eloquent solicitor of this circuit, and a feeling response was made by District Deputy Exalted Ruler F. H. Dominick: TVi** mooHncr lnsf- nisrht was called JL UV^ v w to order by President L. H. Cary, to whose efforts the creation of the State association is due. The opening prayer was made by the beloved chaplain, Rev. K. G. Finlay, rector of Trinity church in Columbia. The call of the roll of officers showed only one absence, and tne call of the roll of lodges showed a good attendance, as follows. And-erson?R. J. Ramer, W. L. Brissev, T. J. Bell, A. H. Dagnell, C.

The following telegram was read: "The Columbia Chamber of Commerce extends to you and the Elks of South Carolina a most cordial invitation to hold your next annual convention in Columbia. We Tviii welcome the opportunity to have you with us at that time. "Columbia Chamber of Commerce, "J. W. Lillard, Chairman." Loud applause greeted this invitation. Reports From Lodges. J. L. Irwin, the Exalted Ruler of Columbia lodge, made a very glowing report of the prospects of that lodge. He said it had taken in nine X.y uew mcmwrrs m cuc aaat, ivui months and that nearly all of those were substantial business men. The: Columbia lodge now has an option on a splendid site for a home and intends to build one of the . best homes in the South. X A. J. Ham, of Florence, humor-1 ously remarked that they had a small lodge which had been improved by being made still smaller, as it j "had rotten rid of snmp members who displayed a factional spirit. He said the Florence lodge was peculiar j in that it was composed of a floating j population, mainly drummers, rail- , road men and some citizens of Flor- j ence. "His lodge had recently bought a site and was making plans to j erect a home. T. S. Mauldin, reporting for j Greenvillfe, called attention to the new home the lodge now occupied in which the meeting was held, which it has acquired since the organiza-: tion o? tjhe Sjtat<e association. A j year ago the Greenville lodge had only one hundred members, but since then it has taken in a number of the best people of the city, and will shortly'have at least 250 members. On behalf of the lodge, he heartily indorsed all the words of welcome that had been spoken by Mr. Bonham. E. S. Blease was proud to report that the real Elk spirit was growing; very strong in Newberry. Though , the Newberry lodge was a small ! only entirl d io .--oven dele^at'.-s, ; he called attention to the tact. Unit everyone of the s- veil was present! and that most of them were men j who had been very prominent in i the affairs of the Klks in this State, j He enjoyed the social aspects of: Elkdom, but warned the brethren j that a lodge which unduly emgha- | sized its social features but neglect| ed the higher and broader aims of i Elkdom would soor. lose ground. John Cart of Orangeburg, said his; "tiad only :.20 members, but each member was most emphatically an Elk and tha: the lodge feature was especially emphasized in the I city on the Edisto. Geo. D. Levy, oi: Sumter, paid a beautiful tribute to the work of Andrew A. Manning who was primarily responsible for making out of a weak lodge in the game-cock city, the biggest and strongest lodge in the State. He said Sumter lodge> will be in new quarters by September 15th. Quarters 'vhich will be a credit to the Sumter lodge and the order as a whole. He praised the work of L. H. Cary, of Greenville, which made the State association possible and told of the good that the organization of a State association had already done and would do. The State association was formed last' year a*d last year in the National convention on in Portland was the first time that South Carolina really appeared upon the map of Elkdom. Because of the amalgamat| ing spirit fostered by the State or ganization the Palmetto delegates to Portland were welded together as a State organization tht made it really consricious. Two Ministers. Rev. N. A. Hemrick, a Baptist minister of Newberry, was called on, and told of the reasons why he was glad he was an Elk, though his joining had been criticised at the time. He knew that the principles of E.lkdom, if he attempted to live up to them would make him a better citi . . . I I rniniofQTlH fflTYlilv TOST) axiuiuvvx MUU Rev. K. G.

At 10 p. m. the lodge adjourned until today. S. M. Wolfe, of Anderson, reported his lodge ir. splendid condition. It was organized on July 27, 1910, , with 19 members and now has 9a.

' As no Charlestonian was present to respond for the City by the Sea, District Deputy Dominick stated that when the State association was organized last year Charleston l would not join because of dissatisfaction with the conduct of a prevj ious organization of that sort, but ! that recently he had the pleasure of officially attending a meet ri"- of the .Charleston lodge, at which u unaniimously and enthusiastically voted to affiliate.

Entomologist Clears Away All Doubt and Fear.?Only a Pea Pest. Bennettsville, May 22.?Rumors were sent out from B-ennetsville the last few days to the effect that cotton boll weevil had appeared in this county. The news, of course, spread verv ranidly and caused more or less anxiety. It has been found that the weevil that caused this report was nothing but the cow pea pod weevil. In order to be sure though. Prof. Thomas Field, entomologist of South , Carolina -experiment station, was | called in to give an expert opinion, and after examination promptly , classed the weevil as "Chalcodermis aens.sa." or "cow pea pod weevil." jcnas w. 1 nomas, a, cuiuicu iaiwer of this county, went to the section ; where th.-< weevil had appeared ai;d he at onc.-e recognized it as the pea bug.

"Washington, May 22.?South Carolina, and other Southern States were among the last to accept the teachings of the government that scientific agriculture means greater crops" said William W. Long, State agent and superintendent of extension work at Clemson college, here today. "But the farmers of South Carolina have come to understand and appreciate what the United States agricultural department through its scientists is endeavoring to do for them. The agricultural situation in the State today is exceedingly favorable. While the cotton acreage is not increased, there is great interest in growing grasses for hay and the diversification of crops.
