WHEN ELKDOM WILL DIE.
(The Author of this is "Pore Ole Bill.)
When the lion eats grass like an ox
And the fishworm swallows the
whale.
When the terrapin kulta woolen socks
And the hare ls outrun by the snail.
When serpents waik upright like men
And bugs travel like frogs.
When grasshoppers feed on the hen
And feathers are found on the frog.
When tomcats swim In the air
And elephants roout In trees.
When insects in the summer are there
And snuff never makes people
Hneeze.
When fish creep over dry land *
And mules on bicycles ride.
When foxes lay eggs lu the sand.
And women In dress take no pride.
Wheu dutchmen no longer drink beer
And girls go to church on time.
When billy goats butt from the rear
^ And treason is no longer a crime.
. When humming birds bray Uko asses
And limburger smells like cologne
When ploughshares are made of
glass
j Abd hearts of workmen are stone.
When Ideas grow in Jackasses' heads
And wool on the hydraulic ram,
Then Elkdom will be dead j
And the country won't he worth a
damn.
TE lt M "TIL KIP MYSTERY.

One Knows Definition.
The term "tiler" is one used in al
most every sec-rot society, and yet, ask
any secret society mun its meaning
and he usually will have to plead Igno
rance. The dictionary gives the word
an origin In the word "tile," the cov
ering of a house, am. the derived
meaning ls to cover, or keep secret.
Thus it applies to the outer guard,
who stands at the outpost of secrecy
of a lodge.

Somewhat of a city, it hasn't a rail
road. Koa ll y remarkable how auch
a II?K. substantial, progressive town
has hccii bulli without a through ?
HIM ot railway. If ii hail tho railway
facilities of Greenwood, Greenville or
Spa rt un burg, if would bc a? larg*- as
all of ihose places combined.
The moral of which story is that
I he people of Anderson will get
a through line of railway some day
wat? h out.
Say. Bill, did you know that there
wer?1 twenty-two store buildings In the
course of construction in Anderson
today? Surest thing in the world.
-0
Aro. Mill, there are lil" pieces of
construction work on foot in the city
now. More than in Greenville, Spar
laubutg and Creen wood combined.
Tell it to the world for us. Bill, that
Anderson is on no boom, but is just
coming into her own.
'Hie Interurbau in the last three
years! has spent several hundred

bark and come right out of the sta
tion to the sidewalk on Main street.
The Charleston and Western Caro
lina has bought some $175,000 worth
of real estate, bas cleared off a lot of I
old shacks, is doing a lot of grading
and filling and will lani' freight and
passengers right in front of the city
hall.
Anderson county produces 80,000
bales of cotton annually, and the
value of the finished product of the
American milln is $3.000,000 in excess
of the raw cotton. Did you know that
Bills? And yet Anderson probably
produces more small grain ?jan any
other county In the state.
CANNON .. ..-EIGHT - _
Anderson has a live chamber of |
commerce, which ls working hand in
hand with the farmers and is en
couraging them, in improving their
homes and their farms. It is believed
that this interest shown tin the. farm
ers has tended to double the amount]
of grain and leguminous crops plant
ed In the county this year.
-O
Yes. Bill, this of course, if for you
you will find that the churches have
the largest congregations In the state
here you will timi the best publl
schools in the state with $100.000
spent in new buildings in the last
year; here you will find Anderson
college, reared by the game peopl
of the game little city, representing an
investment of a quarter of a million
dollars; here you will find the most
substantial merchants in the state, one
Urra here doing a business of nearly
a million dollars a year, and another
doing a careful, conservative and suc
cessful business; here you will find
thc most hospitable homes, the warm
est men and the most lovely women in
the country.
-o
'Yes, Bills, this ot course ls fr you
and not for home consumption, and
we mean every word of it and If you
stay here long enough, you will find
it out. Anderson is My Town, and we
want some good Elk during this con
vention to set that to music. It
rounds sweet enough to the ears of
the homefolk.'. without any score,
but we would like to Bing it for the
whole world to hear.

The Benevolent and Protective Or
ler of Elks is an organization formed
in 1867. by a band of members of the
heat Heal profession for the promotion
)f a closer friendship, social inter
course and mutual prelection, with the
Solden Rule as their motto: "Do unto
others as you ?would them do unto
you."
The small acorn planted by the
founders, has spread to a gigantic oak,
with those noble characteristics,
Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love am;
Fidelity, shedding radiance of relief
fr o ni the 1400 strong and sturdy
branches that have spread forth from
.he parent root forming a golden chain
that encirc'. 3 thc United States from
Maine to thc Gulf bf Mexico and from
'.he Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
The milk of human kindness ls the
nourishing element that gives life to
thu body, and light to those basking
under-its benign influence, writing the
Taults of the unfortunates who fall by
the way in the sands, white their vir
tues are inscribed on the'tablets of
love and grateful memory; monuments
that rear high their heads toward
beaven, inscribed with indelible char
iot ers that neither time nor tide can
sfface and will live until time shall be
no more.
The order was Christened by Charles
Vivian, the actor, and the name of tbe
in ?mal (Elk) used because it ls fleet
nf foot, strong of limb, timorous of
toing wrong and never known to en
gage in combat, except to defend its
young and to protect the weak and
defenceless. A clearer conception of I
the objects of the order, the pen fails
to record. Thc impression exists with I
many-some through ignorance. oth-|
ers through narrowness of mind-that !
the body ie composed principally of a
frivolous fun-loving set of men.
For the uninformed we desire to say
that a more mistaken idea never pre
vailed. The principles of the order
are such that men of every faith, no
matter how radically opposed to each
other, can approach our altar and
clasp hands over our book of faith.
True, a decided social feature exists,
but it is secondary in the minds of the
members and is indulged in to make
our mystic band one of true brother
iiood, where only good feeling exists,
and not for the worldly or outside
idea merely to enjoy tbe benefit of as
sociation among those that feel it in
cumbent upon themselves to extend re
lief as unfortunately exists with many
instit ut ions that arrogate to them
selves ail virtues and no faults, that
do all that must be done consistent
witb straight-laced ideas, and who are
sought but seldom seek.
In the strict sense of the term, our
order is a secret one, secret, however,
as to the internal workings of the body
in the lodge room and thc chatty dla
rpensed. hut in no othe respect; our
door? arc wide open at all times with
Brotherly Love, the animating inf lu
ence, glaringly greeting the stranger.

The first lodge of Elks was organ
ized May 17th, 1858. The order is
distinctly American, and applicants for
membership are limited to white male
citizens of the United States, of sound
mind and body of good character, who
must believe in .the existence of a Su
preme Being.
Some ot the purposes of the. order
are to promote the welfare and en
hance the happiness of Its members, to
quicken tho spirit of American pat
riotism ; to cultivate good fellowship,
?nd Inculcate the principles of char
ity, justice, brotherly love and fidel
ity. Lodges ot the order are not
permitte?* to be instituted tn cities of
less thr* five thousand Inbabtltants,
yet. In spite of this restriction and the
careful discrimination that ls used tn
passing upon tho eligibility of candi
dates, Elkdom during tho past few
years has been blessed with a most
remarkable growth, both- In the num
ber of lodges and the membership of
the Individual lodges, and' there' are
DOW some 1400 lodges'affiliated with
the grand lodge, South Carolina hav
Ingeleven. Prom the beginning the
order bas sought to link its destiny
with that of oar country, .and has
made the flag of our nation the symbol
of Its crowning virtue-Fidelity
Due perhaps to the fact that
there are no lodges of the order In the
smaller towns, Elkdom In years gone
by has been subjected to unmerited
and unjust criticism by provincial and
narrowmlnded carpers. Tbe wonder
ful growth of the order attests the fact
that ita cardinal principles are a finn
foundation to build upon, utterly false
Impressions have been swept away as
the real objects of the order have be
come better known and men of na
tional and state affairs, ministers who
grace the pulpits of churches'all over
this broad land and citizens of sterling
integrity mingle In ' ob's common
brotherhood and are banded together
doing good.
To use the words of my friend, Hon.
C. Porter Johnson: "The genius of
Elkdom rests upon the Integrity, vir
tue, fidelity and Intelligence of its
members. ' If we were not to incul
cate the spirit of brotherhoodQ of obe
dience to law, ot loyalty of charity, ot
beneficence, lt' would have no purpose
If lt did not lift man upward and en
