PYTHIANs' ANNIVERSARY.

Last Sunday marked another ami
versary of the Knights of Pythias, and
appropriate services were held at
Zion Baptist church. Headed by the
Olympia band, every member of which
are finished musicians on brass in
struments, the members marched from
their hall to the church. The uni
form rank, in command of Capt. w.
II. Lee, headed the subordinate mem
bers, which made the procession one
of spectacular splendor. At the church
the procession opened order and
through the column the courts of Cal
anthe marched, through into the
church. Chancellor Commander j. w.
Harday opened the services, after
which he surrendered the gavel to
Master of Ceremonies T. E. McClain,
who, after reading the proclamation,
made an excellent address, as did
also Mrs. A. S. Hamilton of the Court
of Calanthe.
The sermon was preached by Rev.
d. E. over, and his remarks were
quite logical, and of course much en-
joyed by all. At the close of the ex-
ercises, the knights marched to their
hall where they were dismissed.

ed by surgeons from her spinal col

pain until last week.
Tuesday she fell from the porch at

severe pains in her back and it was
thought she had fractured her spinal

Woman Arrested.

Emma Waldrop, a white woman,
living near Mills Mill, was arrested
yesterday morning and lodged in jail,
charged with having connection with
the murder of the white infant which
was found Sunday morning on the
Brushy Creek hill, West Greenville:
with its skull crushed. The woman,
when seen by a News reporter, stout
ly denies her guilt, and says the child
was not hers and that she knows
nothing about it.
Bill Brown, the negro, wi DO is also
held in connection with this case is
still in Jail. When asked had she
ever visited Browns home, the wo-
man said that she had not been
there in at least two weeks, but
would not say what she went there
for.
1t is believed by the authorities
that the mother Of the dead baby
gave birth to the infant in the big old
log house in which Brown lived, and
that she either killed it herself and
got Brown to bury It, or else he kill
ed it for a compensation of some
sort and buried it after taking its
life. However there is no positive
proof against either person held.
Yesterday the county physician ex-
amined the Waldrop woman and this
morning another examination will be
held.
It may be possible that she can
give the authorities some valuable
information that will lead to the ar
rest of the guilty parties if she and
Brown are not the ones.-Greenville

Civic League

The Civic League held very In
teresting meeting at the home OF
Mrs. H. J. Brabham, Jr., last Friday
afternoon.
The report of Mrs G. F. Bamberg,
the delegate to the Federation con-
vention, was very much enjoyed, and
the league obtained some good idea
of what other league over the State
were doing.
The Civic League is working very
hard for the betterment Of our town,
and it rejoices to see the marked
improvement in many directions.
. Bamberg Is certainly much more
sanitary than it was a few years ago,
our streets are better kept, and trash
piles are disappearing. g"
1t is a matter Of congratulation to-
note the cooperation which the
league is receiving from the colored
citizens. Many places that have
needed attention are through their
efforts being put to rights"
It has been, suggested that clubs
be formed to prevent mosquitoes from
breeding in the bitches about town,
by pouring oil ea the water when it
stands. A little precaution in this
direction will save many doctors
bill.
1t is proposed that persons living
near these bitches take turns to place
a title kerosene in, them once in a
while and divide the expense. BY this
means mosquitoes can be controlled,
and fever prevented.
Remember about the garbage cans
keep them covered. Let's all strive
for a healthy summer.

School Mass Meeting.

The interest of the citizens of Bam-
berg in their graded school was well
illustrated Tuesday afternoon by the
large crowd which assembled prompt
ly at four o'clock in the city hall to
attend the meeting called BY Chair
man w. NJ. Brabham, of the board o!
trustees, for the purpose Of fixing the
tax levy for the coming year and to
elect one trustee.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Brabham, with R. w. D. Rowell
secretary. It took only few minutes
to transact the business for which
the meeting was called, as everybody
seemed heartily in favor of support
ing the school literally. 1t was
shown that the school would need
about $4,000 next year, of which
about $4,000 was needed to pay sal
aries of teachers. about $500 for re-
firing one bond and the interest on
the bond issue, and the Dalance 10 pay
the debt on the new building and
other expenses necessary to maintain
the school. A motion was at once
made by c. B. Free that the levy for
the coming year be put at nine mills,
this amount being estimated as fur
nishing sufficient revenue. The mo-
ton was seconded by E. G. Bruce and
unanimously carried, there being no
discussion.
Mr.. F. M. Simmons was then unani-
mously elected to succeed himself as
trustee, and the meeting adjourned,
being one of the shortest meetings on
record in this city.

To My Daughter

10 MY DduSHtcr
These lines are lovingly dedicated j
Farewell, sweet bride, my daughter
dear.
Farewell, farewell, to thee,
'Tis over now, and thou art his,
May he prove kind to thee.
While at the altar thou didst stand
In all thy beauty shrined,
1 thought, how strong thy love for
him,
To leave us all behind.
A placid smile dwelt on thy face,
A look Of happiness. .
It told of confidence in him,
And hopes of earthly bliss.
O, may that smile ne'er be effaced,
And may that placid brow
Meier bear the marks of anxious care,
But ever be as now.
I wish thee all the happiness
That mortal can enjoy,
Sweet daughter bride, may happiness
Be thine without alloy.
But o! my daughter often think,
OF these thou leav'st behind,
Thy mother, and thy brothers dear,
And sister true and kind.
,'Tis true the chosen of thy heart,
May prove all these to thee,
But who can fill thy place or be
A daughter such as thee?
