The history of the Order of Knights
of Columbus in Minnesota dates back
to February p, 1899, when the first
council within the state was organ
lied. 1t may we'll be matter of
pride that Catholic men of Mime
sofa SO early recognized the advan-
tages of membership in the young
order, then only about sixteen years
old. When we view the wonderful
growth of the Order of Knights of
Columbus from the small parish Or
ganization of New Haven. Connecti-
cut, until it has expanded into a
mighty international society with
councils in every important town in
the United States and Canada, even
reaching out into Cuba, Porto Rico,
Philippine Islands and Mexico, and
attaining total membership of $4,000,
we may congratulate those men who
were instrumental in instituting a
branch of the Order of Knights of
Columbus in the northwest long be-
fore it's influence was recognized with
in the borders of many of the older
states.
The first council in Minnesota was
organized in ST.. Paul, February p,
1899. This is also the Oldest council
in the territory west of Chicago. 1t
was not wholly by chance, but rather
in keeping with the patriotic princi-
pies upon which the order is founded
and for the maintenance of which it
ever strives, that its natal day in this
western country was the anniversary
of the birth of the Father of Our
Country. Soon after the institution
of the order in St. Paul. other coun-
ellis were organized in Minneapolis,
Duluth and Winona. From these large
centers, the influence of the order
has spread forth in ever widening
circles until within the borders of
Minnesota today, there are about
fifty different councils with a men,
bership close to 1900.
In the spread of the order in Min
nesota, the policy has always been
to make careful selection of candi-
dates to promote the honor of the
organization rather than to increase
its numbers. Membership in the
Knights of Columbus is confined to
men known to be practical Catholics.
Men of all nationalities and descent
are welcomed as long as they are
qualified under the rules of eligibility.
In this it may be said that the So
ciety is more truly fraternal than
other organizations to which Catholics
frequently belong.
The splendid growth of the Knights
Of Columbus in Minnesota could
never have been possible without the
hearty cooperation of the clergy. In
a special way, the members are in
debted to the Most Rev. Archbishop
Ireland for the encouragement their
society has always received from him.
The endorsement of the clergy and
the support of the Catholic press

Columbus
The supreme organization has al
ways made itself conspicuous in con-
tributing to good works. Several
years ago it caused to be raised the
sum of ffty-four thousand dollars to
endow chair of history in the Catho-
lie University at Washington; since
that time, it endowed the same insti-
tuition with a gift of a half million
dollars. The Knights in Minnesota
have shared creditably in contribute
ing to these works and in addition to
this, the Minnesota State Council has
to St. Thomas College in St. Paul.
Up to the present time there has
been contributed sum in excess of
five thousand dollars, and the order
has pledged itself to add to this un-
til the SUM of eight thousand dollars
will have been paid to the officers
of this school.
The Knights of Columbus have I'm
dertaken to assist in the sale and dis
tribution OF the new Catholic En-,
cyclopedia, special edition of which,
bearing the emblem of the order is
being issued by the publishers of this
work. The state and local officers in
Minnesota have signihed their inten-
ton OF aiding, as far as possible, in
the sale and distribution of this ex-
cellent compendium, not only among
the members of the order, but in the
public libraries, Catholic schools and
other institutions.
The Knights of Columbus in Min
nesota have always been recognized
conspicuously in the Supreme Coun-
Gil of the order. This is notably evil
denced by the fact that there are two
members from Minnesota upon the
Supreme Board of Directors, DR.. F.
w. Buckley, Supreme Physician, and
Mr.. William D. Dwyer, one of the
members OF the Supreme Board of
Directors. This is an honor which
seldom comes to any one state.
Considering the age of the order
and the number of its members in
this state, those who have the good
fortune to be numbered in it's ranks
rejoice because of it's accomplish
ments. The Catholic population of
Minnesota is now about one-half mil
lion. 1t is possible in the next few
years not only to double but to treble
the present membership, and it is ur
gently hoped that the increased men,
bership when attained will propor-
tionately add to the record in the
merits of work yet to be done.

Columbia, III afcall Bee
ples, S. A. Wise aud Y. S. Ovens,
members of the Barnwell county
dispensary board, have been re-
moved from office by Governor
Manning. The removal order follows
two public hearings when much tes-
timonu was ordered to serve the re-
moval order on the members.
In view Of the above stated facts,
which are found to ,. fully sustain
ed by the evidence, l fee! it my du
ty to remove from Off Sc the present
members of the county dispensary
board for Barnwell county," says
the order of the Governor.
The general charges against the
dispensary board members as found
by Governor Manning after hearing
the evidence are: That worthless
and unstable liquors we're purchas
ed that ordinary care and considera
ton was not observed in awarding
the contract for hauling liquors in
the county, that on. of the dlspen'
sers sold beer not authorized by the
county board, that excessive prices
were paid by the board for several
brands of liquors, that relatives

Action of the Clubs.

The leading clubs of Greenville
have decided to abide without pro-
test by the new liquor law, which
prohibits the keeping of liquor or
beer at auv place, save in the private
residence or room of The owner. The
clubs acted as they should have
done. This gallon-amonth statute
is law of South Carolina, and
should he respected, regardless of
whether or not it causes inconve-
nience, though it appears TO mary to
be an infringement of their personal
liberties. Had the larger clubs lg-
nored the law, that would have
opened the way for the more ques-
tionable clubs to have so. The peo-
pie would have asked why it is that
the rich can have their liquor while
the poor are denied the privilege. =

Fencing Off Fields,
Mt. Zion, S. G.

Before much progress can be
made in raising animals the manag-
er Must lay out his fields and pro-
vide fencing materials sufficient tc
afford grazing for the animals. AS
one farmer expressed it hogs must
be kept, out Of senr corr crib, TEe
same might Be esatd OF other animals.
There should be pastures and graz
ing crops in abundance so it will
seldom be necessary to keep animals
confined in pens and fed. They
should have grazing SO they can
harvest their own feed.
Plenty of fencing materials gives
the farm manager chance to Gu.
his farm up into the fields Of conve-
nient size to Craze the animals. In
this way, as soon as one crop Is
grazed off the animals may be NOV.
ed to another field and the field just
grazed plowed and planted to an
other crop. This is not all. The
various fields get whatever benefits
may be had from the manure drop
pings of the animals.
Whether the fencing be perma
nent or temporary will depend upon
the managers general plan of rota
ton. But there should be enough
fields to provide crops so that as
one is grazed off there ~ill be an
Other field ready. This calls for
good management for it takes abili'
ty to provide for emergencies that
may arise to upset plans.
In addition to the grazing and
pasture crops, it will be necessary
to have crops for grain, hay and ST.
lage supplements. Grain will be
needed to maintain animals when or
pasture, and when they must be Tin
ished for the flock or for market II
will reqnire considerable grain and
other feeds.
1t will be seen that livestock re
quire feed, and feeds for livestock
require definite plan of rotation

Listen, Ladies!

Listen, la lies! 1t is up TO you to
save the south's cotton crop and TO
establish the textile industry Of the

by wearing cotton clothes and more
cotton clothes. Mr.. r. NJ. Miller, OF
Charlotte, president of the Elizabeth
mills, made an interesting talk be-
fore the meeting of the American
Cotton Manufacturers association
in Augu, ia Friday afternoon, in
which he appealed to the women,
first, to wear clothes made in
America; second, to wear more
clothes; third, wear cotton clothes,
Nowadays, according to MIR. Mil
ler, a woman uses about five yards
of cloth to a dress -equalling 1885,
100000 yards of cloth for one dress
per year for each woman in the
United States. Oar mothers used u
ya,as to the dress. On the same
figuring, to equip each woman with
one l2-yard dre.s, it would require
Oo,OOO,0OO yards of Goth. Were
dresses II yards, instead of Ave
yards, one to each woman, it wonld
mean $43,750,O00 annually to the
manufacturers.
Were all the women of the
United States to each wear hv,
dresses year, and use l2 yards in
each dress. the increase in the mann
/ facturer would b. over 100000,

the total capital stock in cotton
manufacturing in the United States
Our mothers wore. in their days
a dress and three to four skirts
where one is worn by the women OF

Mt. Zion w. M. S.

The w. M. S. of Mt. Zlor
church met on last Saturday after
noon at the home of Mrs. Monroe
Padgett, this being the first meet
ing held in a private home. All OF
the members expressed themselves
as pleased with this change from q
public to a private place of meeting,
and greatly enjoyed the cozy home,
and the sociable feeling thus engen'
dered. Women will always be es.
sentially home lovers, and will best
enjoy the work which can be done
within the walls of a home. After
the regular routine of business, our
feminine curiosity was grati6ed by
each member displaying the articles
which she had prepared for the
hospital-box. Meat and tasteful" "
was the verdict which could have
been passed upon most, while some
brought out specimens of fine needle
work.
At the close of the meeting, our
kind hostess gave US an agreeable
surprise by inviting US to the din
ing.room. Here, amid much social
chit-chat, delightful salad course
was served, followed by cake and
coffee. If this fine precedent is fol-
lowed up, we are quite sure now
tha. our missionary society will be
a success, not only in it's appointed
work, but as a social factor. The
next meeting will be held at the
home of Mrs. w. A. Pardue.
