sons and expulsions, the majority have increased
to greater extent, and the prospect. for the fu-
ture are truly encouraging

Early in April last, Brothers Enloe and johnson
of Yorkville, opened another new Division at Clay
Hill, in York District called "Concord," and num-
bered 48-being the tenth now in successful oper-
alton in that District, and placing York first and
foremost in the ranks of our Order.
Brother Smith, of Marion, has also succeeded
in opening new Division in his jurisdiction, at
Mullins Station, called Jonadab Division, No. 49,
which bids fair to equal in the race many older
Divisions.
Another new Division has been also organized
at Due-West Corner, Abbeville District, by Broth
er Fair of that District 1t is named Due-West
Division, No. 81. This is an important position,
and that we have OCCUPIED the ground under such
favorable prospects of success, is matter OF re-
joicing to all. Tiger River Division, No. SO, at
Milford, Greenville District, has at length been
organized by Brother King, and bids fair to do
good work in the cause of humanity. Thus, four
new Divisions have been added to our list during
the Quarter, making a total Of 51-a much larger
number than we have had for years. One of that
number, however, viz: Blackstocks Division, NO..
28 has sent up no Return during the year.
In connection with this Report, trust 1t Will
not be deemed out Of place, to suggest the pro-
of
Quarterly, the number of Lady-Visitors in con-
nection Herewith, as such information would be
interesting not only to the members generally,
but also to the public. If we find such an ele-
ment Of strength in the presence OF woman, as
many are wont to acknowledge, surely, we should
report it, and let all know hoO strong she has made
ns.
deem it also essentially important to place
Lecturer in the field To do this, we need money /;
and suggest the expediency of levying an addl-
tional cents per Quarter, on the membership OF
Subordinate Divisions for that purpose. This
would give US something like five hundred dollars
per annum and it is not at all likely, that there
would be any objection, when the amount IS so
imperiously needed for so important purpose.
But perhaps, it is not properly in my place to
make suggestions in connection with my report,
and leave the matter for your earnest and Sc
rious consideration.
Respectfully submitted, in L. P: F..
