Grand Lodge at Hartsville Determins Upon Plan for
Showing Interest in Education of Youth '
of the State. ' ^ ^
Walter boro, June 14.—The Grand
Lodge of the Knirhte of Pythiae of
South Carolina, recently held in
Hartaville, determined upon a course
of benevolence never before heard of
in the Order in this State, and as a
result of this action, eight scholar
ships will be awarded to needy boys
and ^irls from Pythian families with
in South Carolina, the scholarships
to pay 91O0.OO in cash to assist with
the education of the winners.
Scholarships will be awarded this
eummer in time for college entry this
fall. The eight scholarship* will be
divided between the eight Pythian
districts in tfce State, and may be
competed for by boys and girls. The
winners may select any standard col
late within the State.
Hiatory.
For years, the Pythian Order has
stood for various forms of benevolen
ces but recently these have been
sought to be reduced to concrete form.
At HartavUle, ■ the retiring Grand
Chancellor, John G. Dinkins, of Man
ning, recommended In his annual re
port that a part of the per capita tax
charged by the Grand Lodge be set
aside for practical benevolences, es
pecially for scholarships. The Grand
Lodge passed his recommendations,
and left it to the Pythian Service
Commission to disburse the flunds.
This Commission, consisting of Past
Grand Chancellor John G. Dinkins, of
Manning. Grand Chancellor R. M.
Jefferies, of Walterboro; Grand Vice
Chancellor G. W. Speer, of Anderson;
Grand Prelate C. A. Edwards, of
Columbia; Gkand Keeper of R. and

petitive examination to be held by

the day of the Winthrop Examina
tions. Applications to take the ex
aminations will be in the hahds of
the Keepers of Records and Seal of
each subordinate Lodge and these
should be secured at once; (nd .filled
out. The examinations will be return

Grand Lodge, who wilt investigate
same, and make the final award,
based on scholarship, merit and need.

In order to get an intelligent grasp
.of today’s lesson, one musLjet a view
pf the entire epistle as to its purpose
and method. The purpose was to es
tablish all who were passing through’
suffering and testing (see ch. 1:7,
3:14, 4:12, 5:10-12).
The principles of Christian behavior
set forth in The text of this lesson are
of broader scope than citizenship.
They embrace:
1. Behavior as Pilgrims and So
journers (vv. 11, 12). u
Christians are merely sojourners on
the earth. TMyTHive not here their | rates,
permanent home bat are journeying
through the earth on their way to the
eternal home heavens.. 1 Our
heavenly citizenship (Phil. 3:20)
should constrain -ns to the mainte
nance of conduct consistent with our
high calling.
L Abstain from fleshly lasts (v. 11).
The term lusts Includes the entire
army of unclean forces springing from
onr carnal natures. They are enu
merated in Gal; 5:10-21. These war
against the .until. The Christian should
not be under the sway of carnal pas
sion.
2. Behavior as cltlgens (vv. 13-17). -
While the Christian's, true citizen
ship Is In heaven he has a responsibil
ity as a citizen on the earth.
1. Obey all requirements of civil
rulers (v. 13). •
Fidelity to Christ Is shown by loy
alty to civil authority. The Intelli
gent Christian recognizes the neces
sity of government and graciously
submits to those In authority over Mm
regardless of the form of government.
His duties as a citizen he performs as
the Lord’s free man—not through ser
vile fear. Government even of a low
order Is better than anarchy.
2. Honor all men (▼. 17).
He wlH see In every man the image
of God and therefore give honor to
him. This applies to all relations
wherein we touch human life. •
3. I.ove the brotherhood (v. 17).
The Christian has a peculiar love
for those who are of thd same house
hold. The brotherhood Is composed
of those who are children of God by
faith in ^esus Christ.
4. Fear God (v. 17).
5. Honor the King (v. 17).
This has a peculiar significance be
cause ^n all probability the wicked
Nero was then reigning as emperor.
II. ^Behavior in a World of Opposi
tion (I Peter 4:1-5).
1. Armed for the conflict (v. 1).
Christians are engaged In a tre
mendous conflict with evil forces with
in and without. Satan and his angels
are bent on the believer’s defeat and
destruction. The only way to keep
from being overcome with his darts is
to arm oneself with the mind of
Christ. «;
2. The salutary effect of suffering
(v. 1).
Suffering has a remedial effect upoa
God’s children. The one who* suffers
with Christ as an example wtlLJiave
the consciousness that it is his Iden
tity with Christ that calls forth the
opposition of the world.
3. God’s will, the regulating force of
his life (v. 2). *
Not the lusts of the flesh, but the
will of God is the directing force of
his life.
4. The consciousness of a wasted
life (v. 3).
Since the flesh has so loug had
sw’ay over the life, God is entitled to
the rest of the believer’s energy. Look
ing back upon a wasted life In serv
ing the lusts of the flesh will move
one to give no more time to serving
"Such a master.
5. The attitude of the world to
ward the one who separates himself
from It (v. 4).
The world'speaks evil of those who
will not go its way. The world not
only wonders at the life of the Clirls-
tlan who separates himself from its
pleastmi^ but wilt heap upon him
nicknames sod reproach.
0. Account shall be given (v. 5).
The Christian should so live as to
be able to render an account to God.

The hope of the farmer is in bet
ter machinery and more intelligent
use of it. It is hot alone the selling;
price of a bushel vi wheat that
counts bnt the amount of farm time
and labor used to produce fch&
bushef. A man working with pick
and shovel could not attord to dig
up and sort oat gold bearing gravel ^
if it paid him five dollars a ton
average. But giant dredging ma
chines in the Sacramento Valley
are making millions working grav*
el that pays less than twenty cents /
a ton.

Edwin J. Clapp shows what
machinery is doing and will do to
help solve farm problems, and why
United States farms can compete
with European cheap labor, and
even survive high railroad freight
Danger of Small Wounds
•,A. short while ago, a grocer In
my town “scratched” his hand
while taking goods from a box.
Within a week he was dead, in
spite of the efforts 'of three' good
physicians to save him—Acute sep
ticemia, the cause' of death.
Small wounds are usually either
incised or punctured, that is, either
‘cut” or “stab” wounds. The for-
~tner are easily treated—filled at
once, with tincture of iodin$, br
other reliable antiseptic. A small
bottle of “Mcrcurochrome” is a
good thing to keep in your medi
cine-closet; it is one of the best
germicides known and is painless
when applied^- Its bright-red stain

The Joy of Christ
O believer, the joy of Christ is with
in yon; give It room, let it spring np
within you like a well of living water,
and yon will rejoice in the Lord al
ways. and again rejoice.—G. H. CL
McGregor. - "
Praising God
When yon find that s man has got
to praising God it Is a good sign. Oh,
let os get to personal love, to personal
praise! Thst is what Is wanted in the
church tods/.—D. L. Mood/.
On American farms, one worker
on the average produces twelve
tons of cereal. In Europe one
worker produces one and one-half
tons.
. * * •
From 1910 to 1920, American
farm population increased only
four"per cent, while production of
wheat increased fifty-eight per
cent, corn thirty-five per cent, cot
ton forty-seven per cent, cattle
thirty-seven per cent, hogs sixty-
five per cent.
The farm problem is not to be
solved, according to Mr. Clapp, by
‘‘keeping the boys on. the farm,”
but by letting the boys go to the
factories, using more machinery on
farms and thus reducing cost of
production.
• * •
“Light automobiles and trucks
are being produced in greater vol
ume than ever before. Such is
the official report. There is only
one »cloud on the automobile hori
zon, and that’s an oil cloud.
^Reckless production and reck
less price cutting in the oil indus
try mean trouble ahead for motor
owners. Oil iv being wasted,
poured out -and squandered on
sandy roads, wherever public of
ficials can be persuaded to'buy it
at public expense.
' • * • -
Oil production is wastefuily man
aged, prices sre low—but today’s
low prices will be paid for with
high prices later. —‘
The country needs a continuous
oil and gasoline supply, at fair
prices, which the Government
should regulate.
The nation now is acting like a
drunken youth, squandering a rich
inheritance.

Lindbergh has good ideas. An
enthusiastic French lady intended
to spend 150,000 francs for a cup
to celebrate his flight. He accepted
gratefully and asked that the 150,-
000 francs be spent instead on chil
dren of French aviators wlio lost
their lives promoting aviation.
Lindbergh is a good representa
tive of this country in Europe.

Henry Ford last week watched
his machinery grind out Ford car
No. 15,000,000, and celebrated by-
taking a ride in the first car he ever
built. Old car No. 1 with its two
cylinders was taken out of the
Ford museum and driven by Henry
Ford with car No. 15,000,000
driving beside it.
A new Ford car, w r ith a differ
ent gear shift, double the old Ford
power and a speed of sixty miles
an hour and more, will- be seen in
the late Summer or early Fall.
That will begin a new Ford fam
ily.

neglected; they do not drain read
ily, as cut wounds do. Good pro
cedure is to make a wider wound—
a cut wound—out of the puncture,
then soak it in the antiseptic.
Nail and tack wounds are typical
of this class. Last week I had an
unusual personal experience: Open
ing an unused door at a public,
building, I tore off a bit of the skin
cJ one knuckle on a brass pro
jection of the lock; I had absolute
ly nothing with me in the way of
emergency antiseptic, not being
on a professional call; I thought
of the matches in my pocket; dry
ing the oozing blood, I <
r _ quickly ap-
. plied a blazing match! This stop
ped the bleeding and sterilized the
wound. I thought of my poor
grocer friend, and sterilized this
wound thoroughly with a flame.
Painful, but a perfect result. I
might have done worse under the
circumstances. Never forget that
time .is important in treating small
wounds and as little of it to be
wasted as possible.’
A Plant Curiosity.
Walter Stepheraon, who farms for
Dr. B. W. Sexton near Barnwell,
brought two plant curiosities to
town Saturday. One was an Irish
potato through which a aprig of
“joint grass” had grown and the
other was two potatoes joined to
gether with a sprig of grass. The
potatoc* had not grown around th^
gras*, but the grass had grown
through the potato. Mr. Stephenson
states that in ai| his years of farm
ing he had never seen anything just
like it before.
