Rev. j. E. Beard, the Methodist minis
ter in charge OF the Perdleton Crcuit,
writing to the Southern Christian Advo-
cate under date Of January Both, 1902,
has the following to say in reference to
his work at Clemson College: 'We found
special delight in preaching to the manly
looking boys at Clemson; they gave us
sympathetic and interested attention.
We received cordial welcome from the
President Professors and officers of this
great institution. From the survey of
the college we have made, we are per-
suaded a good work is being done there.
PunCtuality, precision and exactness are
evidently inculcated in the teaching,
work and order prevailing in every de-
partment of the college. We do earn
estly pray our heavenly Father to help us
to be of spiritual service to these yo ing
men gathered here from all parts of our
State. If in the providence Of God we
can be instrumental in leading any of
them, who are now strangers to Jesus,
any degree those who are Christs, to a
larger apprehension of what a Christian
life Is and fuller conservation unto that
life, we will be indeed grateful to God.
1t will be our privilege to preach there
once mouth, on the first Sunday. Will
the Methodist parents remember us on
that day i'm their prayers ?n

What Congressman Latimer is Doing.

Washington, d. c., February 1.-Rep-
resenative Latimer was at the post Office
department today to ask for special
agent to lay out free delivery routes.
There are now pending thirty applica-
tions from his district for free delivery
service and he is anxious that the routes
be established at once. a special agent
will be sent down some time next month.
Mr.. Latimer has always been a strong
advocate of THO free delivery service. He
is in favor of increasing the force of
agents from forty-five to one hundred
until the country has been generally laid
out, then the number could be reduced
to fifty agents. Mr.. Latimer will urge
this idea when the house takes up the
post office appropriation bill.
Mr.. Latimer has been invited to address
the Marquette club, of Chicago, at their
annual banquet on Lincoln's birthday.
The Congressman will speak on "Abra-
ham Lincoln" From Chicago Congress
man Latimer goes to Binghampton, N.
Y, where he will deliver an address be-
fore the Binghampton Chamber of Com
mercc on Washington's birthday, his
subject being "The Industrial Depart.
ment of the South" Considerable Bing-
hampton capital has been invested in
timber and coal lands in the South es-
pccially in Alabama.

Pythian Day at Charleston.

Tho Knights of Pythias are to have a
Pythan Day at the Charleston Exposi-
ton. Gen. NJ. L. Bonham, of Anderson,
is Grand Chancellor of that order and he
has appointed February 10. The follow
will be of interest in this connection:
In compliance with the request of al
most every lodge in the State, Gen. NJ.
L. Bonhanl, Grand Chancellor X. of p,
has appointed February 10, 1902, as
Pythan day, and the indications are
that it will be tho largest assemblage of
Pythians ever gathered together in
South Carolina, if not in the South. The
railroads are offering exceptionally libo-
raj rates, and at tho time set the exposi
tion will be in finished condition, fit for
the observation of any one.
The central committee appointed by
tho Grand Chancellor has reported, and
its report approved. The programme,
as arranged, will be sent to all subordi.
nate lodges, so that all Pythians in this
and adjoining States may be apprised of
the arrangements.
The Castle Hall of the Charleston
lodges has been rendered to the visitors
as headquarters! All Pythians are called
to assemble there at 0.30 a. m. on the
10th of February, to take part in the
great Pythian parade. Under the direc-
ton of marshals, the procession will
form on Marion Square at 10 o'clock, and
will march by way Of Calhoun street and
RntIpIDn
grounds.
The grand officers, Past Grand Chan
celors, visiting grand officers, tho Mayor
of the city, exposition officials and cen
tral committee, preceded by brass
band will lead the procession. All tax
ing part will be supplied with Pythian
badges, and the Pythian banners will be
waved.
Upon reaching the auditorium at expo
sitiOn, a brief address of welcome will
be delivered by Grand Master of Ex-
chequer Wilson G. Harvey, repre- Scnting
the Charleston Knights. Following Mr..
Harvey will be addresses of welcome
from President Wagner, of the Exposi-
tion Company, and Mayor Smyth. The
response will be from Grand Chancellor
Bonham, who will be followed by such
other Grand Chancellors from other
domains as may be present and wish to
be heard after which tho Knights will
be released to do their own sweet wills
Arrangements have been made by the
committee to reserve seats in the Audi
torium for the families of visiting
Knights.
Considerable rivalry is said to exist
between the various lodges of the State
as to which shall have the largest show
ing on Pythian day, and the contest will
be interesting. All will show not only
the strength of their membership, but
the exceptionally high character of its
personnel. 1t has long been the high
claim of the Knights of Pythias in this
and other States that their order is tho
embodiment of the highest type of our
American citizenship. This will be an
opportunity fol them to show that the
claim has a just foundation in fact Such
representative gathering, drawn from
every avocation of life, including both
the young and middle.aged, can but
leave its impression upon the public mind
and rebound only to the credit and good
Of the already popular and populous
order 1t should be q great day for
Pythanism.
