KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Close of the Grand Lodge Meeting at
Anderson.
Anderson, May 29.?The twentyfirst
annual convention of the grand
lodge, Knights of Pythias, South
Carolina domain, adjourned this afternoon
after what was, perhaps, the
most largely attended and interesting
session in its history. While the
delegates have enjoyed the social
features of the session, which have
been many, much business of importance
to Pythianism in South
Carolina has been disposed of, possibly
the most important thing being
the decision to establish a monthly
Pythian journal.
! The election of officers tor tne ensuing
year was attended with much
interest this morning. Following are
the officers elected:
Mendel L. Smith of Camden, grand
I chancellor.
L. S. Mattison of Columbia, vice
grand chancellor.
Prof. A. G. Rembert of Wofford
college, Spartanburg, grand prelate.
Dr. J. H. Thornwell of Fort Mill,
grand keeper of records and seal.
Wilson G. Harvey of Charleston,
grand master of exchequer.^
David King of Columbia, grand
inner guard.
J. L. Reeves of North, grand outer
guard.
THE ELECTION OF PRELATE.
It is always customary for the
vice grand chancellor to advance to
grand chancellor and for the grand
prelate to advance to vice grand chancellor,
and the election fight is always
on grand prelate. When a man
is elected grand prelate he is slated
to be grand chancellor two years
hence. The interest in selecting a
man for grand prelate was, therefore,
very great. There were four
candidates and it required five or six
ballots to elect Mr. Rembert. The
four candidates were Mr. Rembert,
Mr. E. C. Dovle of Seneca. Mr. J. F.
Williams of Columbia and Mr. C.' D.
Brown of Abbeville. The balloting
commenced before noon and when
the hour arrived for the barbecue,
2 o'clock, no election had been made.
The final ballot was cast late this afternoon
and Mr. Rembert won.
The representatives to the supreme
lodge, which meets in Boston in 1908,
are Gen. M. L. Bonham, of Anderson,
Col. B. A. Morgan of Greenville
and Col. Edmund Bacon of Columbia.
Memorials were adopted on Knights
A. C. Mustard of Charleston, J. M.
Knight of Sumter and James Thayer
of Charleston, who died the past
year.
Messrs. B. A. Morgan, William
Goldsmith, Jr., A. W. Knight and J.
B. Carlisle comprised a committee
that prepared and introduced a resolution
of thanks to the citizens of
Anderson and to the local lodge for
the kind entertainment.
The grand lodge meets in Aiken
next year. The invitation from that
city was,unanimously accepted.

Quaker Whiskey Case.
William Penn was once urging a
man he knew to stop drinking to
excess, when the man suddenly asked:
"Can you tell me of an easy way
to do it?"
"Yes," Peftm replied, "it is just as
easy as to open thy hand, friend."
"Convince me of that," the man
exclaimed, and I will promise upon
my honor to do as you tell me."
"Well, my friend," answered Penn.
"Whenever thee finds a glass of liquor
in thy hands open that hand before
the glass touches thy lips, and
thee will never drink toexcessagain."
The man was so struck by the simplicity
of the great Quaker's advice
that he followed it and reformed
School Curios.
The following excuses are known
to have been received by teachers in
public schools, says the Sheridan Advance:
44 Please excuse my Jennie for today,
as we wish to take her to the picture

"Please let my Olive bring my Johnnie

Death of Mr. Verdier.
^ Mr. Augustus Verdier died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. A. W.
Brabham, May 25, aged 80years. He
was born at Moliere, France, came
to Walterboro, S. C., at 17 and for
more than 60 years lived in Colleton

entered service ip Capt. Bellinger's
company, served later under Capt.
Campbell, Colcock's regiment, till

business for some years.
About 20 years ago he gave up busi
ness entirely.
With him flowers and music were
the grea t passions of his life. At one
time he had the most beautiful flower
garden for miles around. Being hospitable,
naturally he had a great
many visitors.
For some years he has been very
feeble, and death came to him as
sleep to a tired child. He was buried
at the Brabham-Kearse cemetery,
where his wife is also buried. His
grave was covered with the beautiful
flowers he loved so well in life.

Saw Mill Burned.
Cope, June 3.?The large saw mill
owned by Cleckley Bros., of this
nlapp. was totallv destroved bv fire
early yesterday morning. The mill
is located about a mile from this
place and was discovered to be in
flames early Sunday morning. The
mill had been running till 12 o'clock
Saturday night, and it was shortly
after the mill shut down that the
alarm was given.
Although it is not known just how
the fire originated, it is supposed
that it started in the dry kiln. This
was the first to burn, and the other
parts of the mill followed rapidly.
The total loss of the property amounts
to something like $10,000. On this
amount it is understood that there
was insurance to the amount of
about $5,000.
This firm has been selling considerable
lumber in Bamberg.
ATTErtPTED ASSAULT.
Negro Attempts to Outrage a Young
White Woman.
Chesterfield, May 29.?To-day
at 12 o'clock, within two and a half
miles of this town, on the plantation
owned by Dr. A. M. Redfern, one of
the most dastardly crimes known to
man was attempted upon the 15-yearold
daughter of Mr. J. W. Threatt,
Dr. Redfern'^ overseer, by Ned Cash,
a big, burly, black negro. The girl
was hunting eggs when accosted by
the negro. He grabbed her and had
he not been in a ditch while she was
on the bank he might have accomplished
his design.
As he ran off the father of the
giri, Mr. inreatt, snot at mm, part
of the load taking effect in his head.
Officers started in pursuit with bloodhounds,
but on their way met another
negro who told them that
Cash would be along in a few minutes,
and even while they were talking
they looked down the railroad
and saw him coming, and he was
promptly cut off and arrested.
He is now in jail. Nothing wrong
has been heard of him before and he
has always been known as a quiet,
peaceable and polite negro. This is
the first attempted crime of the kind
in this section. Everything so far is
quiet and no attack on the jail is anticipated
tonight.

public roads, trains heavily laden on
the railroads. The scenes witnessed
now recall those days, as thousands
are flocking the same way across the
river from New York City to invest
in lots, now that the tunnels under
the river are about completed. Fully
2,000,000 people in the city would
have resided over on Long Island
long ago had it been possible to cross
the river. The ferries and bridges
were taxed to their utmost as it was
to transport the 2,000,000 already
living over there. /
Rich and poor, old and young, are
investing, not alone New York people
but from all parts vof the country
investors are planting a dollar in this
property. The lots are $84 to $400,
sold on easy terms, $5 down, $5
monthly, carrying an insurance
clause in the contract to deed free
in event of death. No taxes for a
number of years and other favorable ,
inducements. Overcrowded New
York the next five years is going to
get out into the fresh air and leave
the city proper to business purposes,
all of which can so be used. Hour
trips heretofore ate reduced to fifteen
minutes now by the underground
railways. No greater boon
has ever befallen New Yorkers. Lots
that sold at one' time in New York
for $300 are now $1,000,000. There
is no reason why Long Island, just
across the river, should not make the
same advance, and that more rapidly
than Manhattan Island on which is
the city. It is far more preferable
for residential property, equally as
desirable for business, manufacturing
and shipping. Convenient to New
York proper, in fact it is embraced
in the charter of Greater New York.
Almost the entire Island has been
plotted, the popular demand forcing
persons with pet places, preserves,
etc., to give way to the march of
xt :i j_ a n
progress, .i^ew raiuuaus, uuuey
lines, etc., are being built in every
direction, showing the financial
world knows things are going that
way. Probably 20,000 buildings are
in course of construction at this
time, and as summer advances the
number may be doubled. Long Island
realty is a better and safer investment
than putting money in the "crooked"
insurance companies.
The great tunnels that have made
all this possible are one of the greatest
undertakings of mankind. The
Hudson river is 1? to 11 miles wide,
the depth in water 60 to 150 feet, then
mud thickness of about 50 feet deep,
down under all there is solid rock,
and through this rock the tubes have
been driven to accommodate double
tracks and teams both ways every
minute. It is estimated that 5,000,000
fares will be paid daily. With all
these modern improvements the population
is so dense and daily increasing
at such a rapid rate that the rush
and crush will soon be as great as
ever. The city is and always has been

GRAND LODGE AT ANDERSON
A DELIGHTFUL SESSION IN THAT
CITY LAST WEEK.
Important Action Taken?The Large
Gathering Most Elaborately
Entertained.
The session of the grand lodge,
Knights of Pythias, in Anderson last
week was not only a most interesting
one but it was without question the
most delightful gathering of any yet
held. The delegates were enthusiastic
and earnest in their efforts to
promote and develop the principles
of Pythian ism, and the important
measures adopted is evidence of the
iOl/U
Possibly the most important action
taken was the increasing of the fund
for widows and orphans and the
steps taken to establish a Pythian
journal. The widows and orphans
will be provided for by a small per
capita tax on every member of the
order, and there was no opposition.
The lodge seemed almost a unit
against establishing a Pythian orphanage
at present, but all inclined
to the plan of caring for the orphans
at the institutions already established.
There was some opposition to establishing
a Pythian journal. Frankly
we also believed that the order
in this State was not ready for such
a move, but such a large majority
seemed to favor the scheme, that, as
a member of the committee, we attempted
to work out something practical.
If such a publication is to
succeed at all, we feel sure the plan
adopted is the only practical one.
The paper is to be supported by the
grand lodge and it will be distributed
without cost to the members. Of
course the idea is that this arrangement
will be only temporary, until
the publication gets on its feet, when
it will no doubt become self-sustaining.
However, the matter is simply
on oYnprimpnt
The grand lodge is a- fine body of j
men, and this year it seemed that
there was a larger proportion of new
men present than usual. There are
few cranks and hot air artists in the
body. Occasionally some fellow wants
to hear the sound of his own voice,
but he is generally squelched in short
order. A particularly significant
thing was, when a motion was made
that there be no nominating speeches
in presenting candidates for grand
officers, it was adopted unanimously.'
The session only lasts two days, there
is so much to do, that the members
as a rule want to eliminate oratory.
It is likely that the precedent set at
this meeting will be followed hereafter,
which is well.
It was a great pleasure to the lodge
to assemble in Anderson, for there
resides Gen. M. L. Bonham, past
grand chancellor, one of the most
beloved members of the order in
this State, and it made glad the hearts
of all to shake his hand and to know
that he was so rapidly recovering his
* '? il X L ? ?
neaitn. in me contest iur supreme
representative he was elected at the
head of the ticket, leading the others
by a large number of votes, thus
showing the love and affection his
brethren have for him. May he be
spared to his people and his brethren
for many, many years.
Anderson has been called the "electric
city." Well does she deserve the
title. With her magnificent water
power, her cotton mills, street cars,
printing offices,_ and practically all
other enterprises requiring power,
use the current." The street car system
is a fine one and would do credit
to a town twice the size of Anderson.
Her people also are not only electric
but magnetic; the very atmosphere of
the city seems to be magnetized, and
the visitor has an almost irresistible
impulse to stay there forever. Anderenr>
cnffprc fmm a lack of railroad
facilities and it is hard to get there,
but it is even harder to get away.
Filled with the spirit of progress,
earnest and enthusiastic, for Anderson
first, last and all the time, truly
it seems that every citizen is a "live
wire," and then, too, he never "slips
his trolley."
By the way, we forgot to mention
that not only do the street car lines
belt the city and its suburbs, but the
line to Belton is almost completed,
and cars will be running between
Anderson and Belton in a few weeks.
This will largely improve their transportation
facilities.
The growth in population in recent
years has been simply wonderful, it.
now numbering 15.000 or more, and
the growth keeps up. In a few years
we expect these figures to be doubled.
It a well built town. Handsome and
modern homes, large and well appointed
business houses, magnificent
public buildings'paved streets, and
everything else in keeping with a
modern, progressive, and growing
city, her people are wisely building
to the future. It is a democratic
community. The people are as hospitable
as can be and one is accepted
foV what he is, not for what he has.
Character and not worldly possessions
is the test applied, and Anderson
people impress one as believing
that they are no better than any
good man but as good as the best.
But we could go on almost indefinitely.
Let us say that the entertainment
of the grand lodge by
Anderson has never been surpassed
and we might truthfully say it has v|
never been equaled. The people
opened their homes and their hearts
and their entertainment was as hearty
as it was elaborate. There was ' i ||
"something doing" all the time and ,
not a dull moment was spent.
Anderson has just cause for congratulation
on the magnificent manner
in which it cared for such a huge
gathering.
?. Anderson has made one great mis- /J
take. She does not own her water
works or fight plant, these toeing
controlled by private corporations./
Municipal ownership of these utilities, %
would be better in our opinion. * ' jM

District Meeting of Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society Held
in Bamberg.
The Orangeburg district meeting.
of the Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society was held in Bamberg, begin- j
ning with an evening session oh Fri- fM
day, the 31st. Miss Albergotti, the
district secretary, was present and M
Mrs. Herbert was in the chair. That .
which added a benediction to the occasion
was the presence of Mrs. W.
D. Wightman, of Charleston, and
Miss Delia Wright, of Brazil, who as
missionary, has returned home on a
furlough after an absence of five
years. Owing to the presence of yfj
these two great workers in the mission
cause, those present at the ses- - M
sions of this meeting gained wonder- ?
fully both of knowledge and enthu- i Jj
siasm. \ ,
Introductory services were held on . ''3m
Friday evening, and on Saturday two 1
business sessions were held. At the
morning session Miss Albergotti read
her report on the district and follow- fjja
ing this were reports from the delegates

consisted of reports from the 'M

former impressed upon the members "
not to be ten cent, per month mem- |J
bers. She considers that too small
an amount for any member to give ' ;
to this glorious mission movement.
After the session the ladies of the . 7
Bamberg auxiliary tendered a little . '.
reception to the delegates and guests
of honor at the parsonage.
Sunday morning's worship consisted
of a missionary sermon by the
pastor, Rev. Peter Stokes.
Sunday afternoon at the Sunday
school hour Miss Wright talked to V ;:J
the children of her day school work . 'M
in Porto Allegri. Sunday evening's - 38
service closed this most interesting - ' M
meeting, at which time Mrs. Wightman
talked generally on the mission
work and Miss Wright again on her
field of labor. '/M
It would not be well to give mention
to this meeting without giving
in a very condensed form at least the s ri
district secretary's report, in order t
that those ignorant of the work may
see by figures what we as a little
part of this great work are doing.
Orangeburg district has been the m
loser in this foreign mission work,
due to changes in some of the districts.
There have been more dis- N

turned to us. We now number 23
adult auxiliaries with 350 members; ' ,{m
2 golden links auxiliaries with 76 ' $
members, and 6 juvenile auxiliaries y .' %
with 93 members. As far as is reported
there are 31 life members;
about 100 copies of the Advocate are
taken and 90 Little Workers. The * ^
total amount raised by the district
last year is $1,066.89, just $16.06 less
than last year.
Orangeburg station raised the
largest amount of money, $190.00;
then Denmark with $99.60; next St.
Paul's (St. Matthews circuit) $99.00;
and next Bamberg with $98.95. St.
Paul's auxiliary has undertaken a
.scholarship in Korea, known as the
Annie Wannamaker scholarship and
this auxiliary has the highest average
per member, $6.18.
Denmark has made several life
members. Branchville golden links
holds the banner both in largest
amount sent in ($31.00) and in highest
average per member, 75$ 1

golden links have increased this
year's collections.
