NO o. o. F. GRAND LODGE
Session to BE Held this Yeal-Econ-
omy viii Help the Orphans.
(The State, April 28.)

The annual meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, which was to
have been held at Union May 8 and
10, has been annuled by the leading
officials, for good and sufficient rea-
sons. Notices have been mailed to
the representatives-elec Grand
Lodge committeeman and other dele
gates, requesting them not to report
at Union. The notice embodies res
olut1on adopted by the grand master,
A. B. Langley; the deputy grand
master, f. S. Strickland; the grand
secretary, Dr. S. F.. Killingsworth;
the grand treasurer, II. Endel; the
grand chaplain, J. X. P. Neatherry,
and past grand master, G. l.. Blease.
"The resolution rings clear with pa
triotism and sound economy, and
will meet with popular approval"
leader in the order said yesterday.
There Is no important business to
come before the convention, other
than the regular reports Of grand
lodge officials and the orphans home
trustees, and as those reports are
printed and distributed to the men,
bership, the members Of the order
will be in full possession of all the
transactions of the Grand Lodge dur
ing the last year. To carry out the
mandates of the law, the resolution
provides for the officers of the Grand
Lodge, ten in number, to report at
Union at the appointed time, organ
ize and receive the various reports.
No elections will be held other than
for those offices already balloted upon
by the whole body.
The action of the Grand Lodge Of
ticers creates holding in the treasu-
ries Of the Grand Lodge and subordi-
nate lodges of approximately $2,4OO,
which Is a strong indication Of the
wisdom and foresight Of the leading
officials. TO them it is patriotic
and strictly business proposition, and
while they make sacrifices they are
striving for the best interests of the
order, which is a true example of
Odd Fellowship.
The Odd Fellows Orphan Home at
Greenville IS the pet Of the order, and
many sacrifices are made by the men,
bers In order that they may contrib
ute to the support Of the noble insti-
tuition. Annuling the Grand Lodge
meeting transfers over $4,000 from
the social and frolicking side of the
ledger to the reserve resources Of the
Grand Lodge and subordinate lodges
In this State.

HEROIC LAD SAVES TWO LIVES.
Brings Young Man and Woman III
Safety from Lynch's River.

Lake City, S. c., April 2S.-Willie
Poston. 16-year-old son of J. A. Pos
ton, who lives near Leo, proved him
self real hero yesterday afternoon
when he saved from drowning in
Lynch's river Miss Matte Presley
and Laurie Burch. These two young
people were rowing in the river near
Smiths Bridge when the boat sud-
denly capsized and they were thrown
into the river. No one was near them
at the time, but Willie Poston was
in the swamp some distance away
Attracted by their cries for help he
worked his way through the woods to
where Miss PRESLEY and Mr.. Burch
were struggling in the water.
Some time had elapsed since the
boat had capsiZed and as neither of
the young people could swim they
were in imminent danger. Miss
PRESLEY was under for the second
time when young Poston arrived on
the bank, and seeing only Mr.. Burch
rescue him. He succeeded in doing
this after struggle, but looking
back. he saw Miss Pressley's hair as
she was going under for the third
time. Promptly jumping into the
water again he caught her by the hair
and succeeded in getting her near the
bank. where companion pulled her
on shore.
Mr.. Burch stated afterwards that
he was giving up when he heard
POston coming and made another ef-
fort to stay up until the boy could get
there.
Miss Presley. who is from Chester,
has been teaching school near the
Poston home. She seemed to be lit
tie the worse for her experience and
took the train here this morning for
her home. Her school ended it's ses-
sion few days ago. and it was in
connection with the closing that a
picnic was given near Smiths Bridge
In recognition of Willie Poston s
bravery and cool nerve efforts are be-
ing made to secure Carnegie medal
for him.

Seneca, April 30.-Editor Keowee
ored farmers, mechanics, men, wo-
men, students and others met at Sem
eca Institute. Rev. G. B. Hancock,
chairman Of Oconee county for the
order in a timely speech Oh prepar-
edness. The student body sang "Ne-
gro Melodies" The song most i'm
pressive was the song, Somebody's
Knocking at Your Door,"
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR..
Roberts,. Of Florence, and the chair
man then introduced Prof. Hutchin-
son, of Clemson College, who told in
his own characteristic way how we
should plant and cultivate foodstuffs
at every home and on every farm, and
thereby save ourselves from destitu-
ton, want and the boil weevil. His
talk was plain exposition of the
entire situation.
Next came the prince Of eloquence
tor oconee county, Col. r. II. Jaynes,
who electrified the people with a
chaln of facts to prove to the people
that the day had come FOR us to pre-
now racing. He told Of the suffering
In Belgium. of the starving women
and children, and warned that like
conditions would soon confront us if
we do not prepare for this great
emergency.
ReV. Fuller, pastor of the colored
Holiness church, warned the people
10 40 as he was dOing-set out thou
| sands OF plants, and he was EXPECT
ing to transplant more in order to be
ready for the worst.
w. j. Thomas, the secretary OF the
meeting, made a few remarks in re-
ply to one of the speakers relative to
migration. He had warned the negro
not to go to the cold North. Thomas
| sald that so far as he was concerned,
| ne was losing no sleep about going
North and had mere the respect of
white and black alike; but that there
IS an unrest among his people, and
unless the white Christian church
leads off and sees that better treat
ment through legislative and judicial
proceedings Is accorded the negro, he
reared there would be very little
abatement Of the exodus. He Offer
ed the following resolutions:
| whereas, our peaceful country
mas been drawn into the great war in
defense Of her sacred liberties; and
whereas, our President has called the
nation to help Ito prosecute the war
to victorious and successful conclu-
sion; and. whereas, there Is a help
and assistance each and all can rem
der his own native land: Therefore
be it resolved:
Il. That we resent any movement
or propaganda not in accord with the
welfare Of our country.
"2. That we pledge ourselves, as
! the colored citizens Of Oconee county
to cooperate in every possible way to
help in whatever capacity it may be
our fortune to render service.
'3. That we exercise the greatest
prudence and economy in raising
more foodstuffs and conserving the
supply in sight, guarding against all
waste whatsoever"
The resolutions were adopted unan-
imously.
Thus ended one of the most enthu-
siastic meetings yet held among the
colored people.
| We were delighted with the music
| furnished by the Institute band.

Carl Oehmig Has Not Been Arrested
columbia RecOrd.)

Rumors that G. G. Oehmig, a we'll
known Columbia baker, had been ar
rested by Federal authorities Oh a
charge Of being in the employ of the
German Intelligence Bureau have
been found to be absolutely without
foundation. The statement had been
made on the streets many times and
finally reached the ears of Mr.. Och
mig, who asked the Record to print
fiat denial Of the rumor The Co.
lum'bia baker Is breathing good, fresh
air on the outside Of prison walls and
Is not enjoying liberty On bond fur
nished to the court. He has never
been approached by an officer.
Il think the rumor was spread on
the streets by friends of mine as a
practical joke said MI Oehmig to-
day. IL didn't mind at first, but
many people have heard it and some
few nave believed it, so that | want
to take this means Of setting the
public straight" he continued
Mr.. Oehmlg, while of German de-
scent, was born at Walhalla 81 years
ago, and has lived in Columbia for
more than Is years. He stated em-
phatically to-day that he would not
know the German Intelligence Bu-
reau from wardrobe, and had not
been furnished wigs or false NOUS
taches from either.
The Courier force has known Mr..
Oehmig all his life. We are OF the
opinion that he is patriotic Ameri-
can. When hoy Of about II years
he ran away from home and enlisted
In the United States navy. He was
large in size for his age and was i'm
mediatsly ace, ted by the recruiting
authorities. After some limi. ex-
pense and trouble he was released
from the service. Carl Is all right.
He will show his hand ut the proper
time. Wait and eae.-- Courier.

Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with cough. A cough
is danger signal as much as fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the cough
ing. This can nearly always be
done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used
1t with the most beneficial results.
1t is especially valuable for the per-
'slstent cough that so often follows
bad cold or an attack of the grip.
Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews,
lnd., writes: During the winter
my husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's
cough Remedy is the best medicine
Tor breaking up these attacks and
you cannot get him to take any
other." Obtainable everywhere.

WORTH TRYING

We found the following on a
printed slip but do not know its au-
thor. It is a simple remedy for
trouble. We wish some of our
readers would try it and report re-
suits. 1t looks good.
If you are down with the blues,
read the twenty-third Psalm.
If there is chilly sensation "a
bout the heart, read the third chap
ter of Revelations.
If you don't know where to look
for months rent, read the twenty
seventh Psalm.
If you are lonesome and unpro-
tected, read the ninety-first Psalm.
If the stove pipe has fallen down
and the cook gone off in a pet, put
up the pipe. wash your hands and
read the first chapter of St. James.
If you find yourself losing conf
dence in men, read the thirteenth
chapter of | Corinthians.
If people pelt you with hard
words, read the fifteenth chapter of
st. John and the ffty-frst Psalm,
If you are out of sorts, read the
twelfth chapter of Hebrews.
