Grand Lodge Knights OF Pythias.

No better body of men has met in this
State than that composing the Grand
Lodge Knights of Pythias, which con-
vened ;u Greenwood last Tuesday, Goth
instant. The convention assembled at
10 o'clock a. m., with Grand Chancellor
M. l.. Bonham in the chair and many of
Oar best men on the floor, among whom
were George S. Mower, d. G. Haywood,
George 4. Prince, DR.. r. +. Smith, f.. H.
Aull and many others equally as good.
The Grand Lodge was in session for two
days, during which time much business
was transacted. On the first day the
Lodge received an invitation from Rev.
Connie Maxwell Orphanage, to visit that
institution in body, which was enthu-
siastically accepted. After accepting
Mr.. Jamison's kind invitation promi-
nent member Of the Lodge moved that a
hat be placed on the altar and that all
who felt disposed to contribute to the
Orphanage be allowed to come forward
and deposit their contributions in the
hat. Immediately the hall was in a stir.
After quiet was restored it was found
that the hat contained $64, which was
turned over to Mr.. Jamison. This col
lection and its delivery to the Orphanage
was one of the most pleasant acts of the
Grand Lodge.
There is no better little city in the
State than Greenwood. Her people are
kind and considerate. The junior editor
of The Keowee Courier, like many others,
felt as if Greenwood had singled him
out for special care and attention.
The next meeting Of the Grand Lodge
will go to Orange burg.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: Geo. S. Mower, of New
berry, Grand Chancellor; j. M. Knight,
of Sumter, Grand Vice Chancellor; j. A.
Summersett, of Columbia, Grand Prelate
f. s. Evans, of Greenwood, Grand Mas
ter.at-Arms; DR.. j. FL. Thornwell, of
Fort Mill, Grand Keeper of Records and
Seal; Wilson G. Harvey, of Charleston,
Grand Master of Exchequer; G. w.
Reeves, of Branchville, Grand Inner
Guard; M. X. Witt, of Brookland, Grand
Outer Guard; DR.. G. A. Neuffer, of Abbe-

Won't Follow Advice After Paying for It.

In recent article prominent physi-
clan says, "It is next to impossible for
the physician to get his patients to carry
out any prescribed course of hygiene or
diet to the smallest extent; he has but
one resort left, namely, the drug treat
ment." When medicines are used for
chronic constipation, the most mild and
gentle obtainable, such as Chamberlain's 8
Stomach and Liver Tablets, should be
employed. Their use is not followed by

Tho Postal TeIearaph. Cable co.

Mr.. l.. s. Stewart, of Atlanta, repre-
senting the Postal Telegraph-C Gable Co.,
spent several days in Walhalla last week
on business. The company is stretching
several new lines, from New Orleans,
Birmingham and Brunswick, to the
North, and they will traverse a
part of Oconee county. Though Walhalla
is not on the direct proposed route, Mr..
Stewart thinks it probable that loop
will be made so rs to take in this point
as the location for an Office. He bases
this supposition on the facts that Wal
balla's prominence as the county
seat of Oconee and as a business centre
for good section of country, and
the necessity for testing offices about
twenty miles distant along the line, make
Walhalla, though not necessary, yet a
very desirable Office point for them. The
Postal Telegraph-Ca Co. has made
rapid strides in recent years, and has one
of the most efficient message services in
existence. An Office of this company
will be heartily welcomed by the people.

TYPHOID DEATH RATE HIGH
Prof. Chester Points Out the Good
Christmas at Ferris School

AZ a meeting of the New Castle
County Medical Society last night.
Prof. Frederick ID. Chester, Of Della
ware College. lectured on the subject
of Filtration"
The society met in the Historical So
eiety building. DR.. Willard Springer
the president in the chair Water
Commissioners Alfred Belts. DIR. Joseph
p Pyle and James p. Jones were
among those present.
The lecture was illustrated with
stereopticon views, which set forth the
matter of filtration and pollution of
water supply. The professor showed
that the pollution OF stream is in
proportion to the density OF popula-
tion. Thus the population of the dis
trict drained by the Brandywine is
hfty-three square miles and its pollu-
tion Is not as great as that of rivers
running through districts more densely
populated. AS compared with some
other cities where the latest devices in
filtration are used, Wilmington has a
high death rate from typhoid fever. her
rate being forty out of 100000.

one Of the best ON the system. 1t is

THREE MORE CONTESTS FILED

In addition 20 the HmloclS-Jones con-
test, it is likely that three other contests
viii be brought to the attention of the
Legislature The three are Richard n.
Cam, Jr., Democrat, vs.. William A.
Price, Republican. Representative-elect
in Red Lion hundred; James II. Shall
cross, Democrat, vs.. Leonard Y. Aspril,
Jr, Republican Representatiye-elect from
st. Georges hundred, and Andrew j..
Wright, Democrat, vs.. Samuel G.. Der
riekson, Republican Representative-elect
from Blackbird hundred. In all these
cases the Democrats allege that votes
were counted for the Republicans that
should not have been counted and that
votes were not counted for the Democrats
that ought 20 have been counted.
Prices majority over Cam was 80. As
pril defeated Shallcross by one vote on
the official returns, but the original fig
ures showed that Shallcross won by two.
The recount changed the result TO As
pri's favor. Derrickson defeated Wright
by votes.
There is some question rs to the ser
vice of the notice upon Derrickson. The
law requires that the notice be served at
least twenty days before the sitting OF
the legislature In the absence of Mr.
Derrickson from home, the notice was
dropped in the yard A person at the

A reatil dealers quotes turkeys at y
cent, and cranberries at 13 cents a
pound; chickens at is and 20
quart. He says the prices are pracu-
cally the same as those of last year.
The high price Of turkeys is due to
the scarcity of the birds which were
brought ND by the trusts several
months ago. The weather, too. has moi
been particularly favorable to them
and down the State, where they usually
are most plentiful, the price is from q
to 25 cents a pound.
