Denmark, February 23.?The Knights of Pythias of the 3rd district met in convention here yesterday, beginning with a public meeting at 11 o'clock a. m. and closing with a secret session and banquet at night. Fifty or more Knights were present, representing thirty-six lodges. The public meeting was well attended by quite a number of ladies and others who were not Knights. The District Deputy Grand Chancellor, Capt. J. B. Guess, presided over the convention. The sessions were opened by fine instrumental music, rendered by Miss Eugenia Tiosley and a numberof her advanced pupils. The welcome address was made by Mr. J. Arthur Wiggins, cashier of the Bank of Denmark, ana was happily responded to by Dr. Sturkie, of Orangeburg. The speaker of the occasion was the Hon. M. L. Smith, speaker of the house of representatives. Mr. Smith gave his audience an eloquent address, very forcibly outlining the possible influence of a true Pythian citizen for law and order in his community and State. At the night session the representatives of the various lodges submitted their reports to the open lodge, which show that Pythianism is on a boom throughout the district. At the conclusion of the general Srogramme Mr. H. H. Husbands, District >eputy Grand Chancellor of the 2d district, exemplified the secret work of the three degrees. Mr. Husbands is a hardworking Knight. His visit was highly appreciated by the convention.

While it is to be regretted that one of > Aiken's representatives in the house 1 should be the subject of Mr. LaFitte's 1 severe abuse, the people of Aiken know ; that in John Cloy there is no wrong, and feel satisfied his conduct under the circumstances must have commended itself i t?the members of the house. Since the ' opening of the session the members have i become acquainted with Mr. LaFitte and no doubt placed the proper value upon his statements. We cannot believe that Solicitor Davis and John Cloy were "railroading legislation" through the house to the detriment of Bamberg county. Nor do we believe that Cloy would at" " T _ _ 1 m tempi to "gag" .air. juauue, ueuauae \^tvy like all the other members of the house , must know by this time that no living power could "gag" him.?Aiken Journal and Review. ANOTHER CLERK APPOINTED. Mr. J. S. J. Faust, of Bamberg, to Assist the Comptroller General. Mr. J. S. J. Faust, of Bamberg, a member of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives and until recently cashier of a bank at Denmark, has been appointed a.member of the clerical staff of the comptroller general. On account of the additional work imposed upon the office by the franchise tax law, the legislature has given the comptroller General $1,400 for additional clerk hire. [r. Jones yesterday announced his selection of Mr. Faust as a man suitable in every way to assist him. This will not require the services of a clerk for the entire year. The corporations are hurrying in their reports in order to comply with the terms of the franchise tax law, for the cornp^ troller general has notified them plainly that he will enforce the statute penalizing delinquents. He is unable to say even approximately what will be the revenue from this franchise tax. The legislature gave the comptroller general a little additional help this year in the matter of visiting the counties to inspect the books and vouchers and to make annual settlements with the auditors and treasurers. Heretofore the fund has been entirely inadequate. The entire appropriation was but $500 last year and in one county the expert accountants were engaged three weeks.?The State.

" . ^ Walterboro Church Without Pastor. A letter from Dr. B. H. Padgett, at Walterboro, tells with regret of the fact that Rev. Eugene B. Jackson, whose acceptance of the pastorate at Walterboro , % had been announced, has been impelled to cancel the call under the advice of his physician, who recommends a change of climate. We are sorry indeed Bro. J ackson did not feel that he could go to Wal- * terboro. It is an important field, and there are some admirable brethren there, of whom Dr. Padgett is one. The Doctor says they are making improvements at the church and parsonage, and praying Cod to send them the man for their field. We trust the Lord may direct some good man to this pastorate.?Baptist Courier.
