DYNAMITE DOES DAMAGE.
But Nobody is Hurt in Explosion at
Cayce.

Columbia, Jan. 21.-The town of
Cayce, just across the Congaree
river, in Lexington county, was
shocked. the side of a blacksmith
shop ripped off and a supply house
badly damaged, this afternoon, when
POO pounds of dynamite exploded.
The explosive was being 'thawed
out" by steam process. Several
workmen were near the place just a
few minutes before the explosion oc-
Cured. The box in which the dyna-
mite was stored caught fire and the
workmen fled. Many window panes
in the town were broken by the ex-
plosion, which was plainly heard in
Columbia. The dynamite was owned
by Weston & Brooker, Inc.

The First Victim.

Chief Justice Doberty used to re-
late an experience which befell him
during a visit to a country house in
Ireland. His friend, the host, sent
a cart to the railway station to bring
him to the place. He had not gone
far when the horse became restless
and finally upset the cart into ditch.
The judge asked the driver how long
the animal had been in harness.
Half an hour, sur

NOW PRINTED BLACK.
South Carolina One of Two States In
Darkness OF Illiteracy.

Pursuing the subject Of social SER
vice, the Kennedy Library associa-
ton, of Spartanburg, at its last meet
ing heard a most earnest and enlight-
ening talk by Miss Julia Selden, orlgl-
nator OF the night schools of Spartan
burg county. Some of the statistics
given by her were startling in their
revelation of South Carolinas adult
illiteracy. Said Miss Selden in part:
In a map showing illiteracy in
the United States Louisiana and
South Carolina are the only States
printed in black. Next to Louisiana
We are the most illiterate State in
the union. In educational eXpendl-
ture South Carolina is at the very
bottom of the list-spending So per
child while Washington spends S32
more than ten times as much as
we do.
"One fourth of the voting men OF
Spartanburg county cannot write
their names, as shown by the polls
and the men who vote are small
proportion of the women and chill
dren in the same condition.
The night schools in the mills are
not an interesting bit of charity but
a patriotic effort to pull the State
abreast of the times so that we Will
no longer be a disgrace-for we are
2 disgrace-and the complacent, well
educated should realize that they are
bearing the disgrace. The pltlful
condition of men and women want
ing to learn and having no one to
teach them is not in South America
or Africa, but in your own country
and town. The night schools are
needed among farmers as well as mill
people. A bank cashier here tells OF
two well-to-do farmers who lately
came 20 deposit money and brought
their negro farmhands to write their
names for them-no uncommon
thing, it is said.
Let our slogan be: What others
are doing we can do; no illiteracy in
South Carolina after 1920
Miss Selden also strongly urged
the club women to use their influence
toward securing the passage of a
bill by the legislature for $4,000 to
be used in furthering the night
schools in Spartanburg county as the
s25 now allowed each school is pitt
fully inadequate. However, out Of
this meagre sum have occasionally
come wonderful results. One presi-
dent who refused to be interested or
even TO answer letters concerning
night schools at his mill, was so sur
prised after the session managed on
s25 at the progress and improve
ment made that he continued the
school at his own expense. These
schools are for persons over IA years
of age and at one mill, out of an at
tendance Of 70, so were adults. This
shows eagerness of men and women
to learn, said Miss Selden.
