said the postmaster general
what means this holler in the

The postmaster general had been
at least half-interested in the papers
on his desk, but now he swung
sharply around in his chair. He re-
moved his nose probably to
save them from the heat of the sud
den blaze in his eyes.
Who says there has been? A revi-
sion is under way which gives service
to many hundred thousands who are
entitled to it, but heretofore have
been denied it. This is being done
without increasing the cost OF the
postal service and without taking
away service from anyone who now
has it. 1t is accomplished with NOR
ey saved by eliminating waste ef-
fort, extravaganza, special favors and
privileges.
Just for example: Parts Of hun
dreds of rural routes have been trav-
eled daily by two or more rural car
riers. There are cases in which as
many as six or seven carriers, each
getting from $1,000 to $1,000 year,
have been going over the same eight
or ten miles of. road. Politics! This
vicious duplication of service was

John uses his influence and gets an

ENTERTAINING TOURISTS.

Ever and anon we hear the over-en-
thusiasts raise hue and cry about
entertaining tourists. This is sub
ject that should commend itself to all
tourist towns, but the variety of pleas
ure that should be afforded is a ques-
ton on which there may be some diff
fepences.
The Democrat has been inclined to
labor under a false impression along
with lots of others. some of whom
have been forced to sudden concur
sions for financial reasons. We were
inclined to think that the visitors
wanted substantial brain food. The
alf-hearted welcome the public, home
people and visitors, gave the chautau-
qua here last week thoroughly con-
vinced us that the people at this season
Of the year don't want any thing that
arouses serious thought. The chau-
tauqua was given complete frost
The attendance was ridiculous, only a
mere handful of people at the most at
any one of the several performances.
The Democrat has been forced to
the decision that the home people have
no spare time at this particular season
for anything to percolate into their
think tanks except the question OF
making livelihood for the next twelve
months. The tourist who is looking
for serious food for thought, is almost
q rarity, therefore. SO long as we have
bathing beach and amusement park,
four moving picture shows with the
fifth one under construction, a negro
minstrel and cheap comedy shows with
which to fill in occasionally and plenty
of good roads and hotels and boarding
houses. then we need not worry un-
less it is for athletic diversion in the
way of good ball teams and golf
grounds, for the people will not take
time to let anything soak In OF a sub
stantial nature at this season of the
year.
A chautauqua or wholesome enter
tainment of that kind would do fairly
well in Hendersonville during winter
when the people have more time to
give such serious thought, but for the
summer give the people what by ac-
ton they have declared they want
something light that will not burden
their brain to take it home.

MOONLIGHT SCHOOLS.

There are $4,000 white people in
North Carolina, above ten years of
age, who cannot read and write-can-
not even write their own names. Of
these, ILL are in Henderson county.
There are $4,000 white voters in the
State who cannot read a single word
on the ballots they cast-372 of these
being in Henderson county. In every
seven white voters in the State there is
one who cannot so much as write his
name. Only two other states have a
greater percentage of adult illiteracy
than ours-Louisiana and New Mexico.
HumiIiating and menacing as adult
illiteracy is in our State, little organic
ed effort has been made thus far to re-
duce it. We have been content to
apologize for it on the ground that
most of our grown up illiterates neve;
had a chance on account of the civil
war and the poverty and demoralized
social conditions that followed it-al
of which is pathetically true. But

/ hang our heads in shame when we stop
Ito think that we have done absolutely
nothing to make up to them for these
! lost opportunities.
i Is it too late now forfus to render
this small return for the many educa-
tional opportunities these very people
have helpedsto make possible for us /?
Our gratitude. if nothing else. should
prompt the answer. Z
The State Department of Education,
cooperating with the State Committee
on Community Service, is directing a
Statewide campaign against adult IL
! literacy. the purpose being to stamp it
out of North Carolina before the next
United States census is taken.
The plan is simple. Each county is
to be organized with committee of
ten, and each school district in the
county is to have a committee of five
or more. The idea being that if each
district in any county will answer for
the few illiterates in its bounds, the
matter will be settled for that county;
and if each county sees to it that each
of it's districts does this, there will not
long remain problem of adult illiter-
acy in the State.
1t may be argued by some that every
adult illiterate has at some time had
a chance to learn to read and write,
and neglected it; therefore he does not
deserve pity or help now. It might
as well be argued that since every
adult has had the opportunity to ac-
cept the plan of salvation as offerd In
the Bible, if he has not already accept
ed, the Gospel should not be preached
to him again. Our duty to the one
sinner is as plain as to the other. BIT
the fact is that most adult illiterates
are more than anxious to learn toread
and write, and, when the opportunity
comes, they learn very easily. One
man in Columbus county, last year,
who didn't know letter to begin with
wrote letter to his teacher at the
fourth lesson.
We must join in this great move
ment. Let US organize our County
Committee at once. Our percentage
of illiteracy is not as great as the
average Of the State. But the States
average is going to be greatly reduced
by this moonlight school movement
Since this movement is largely one for
the schools and teachers of theecoun.
ty, our county superintendent will ma
turally be expected to direct the work.
Let US all line up behind him and our
teachers and give them full support in
their efforts to keep Henderson near
the top of the list 80

county that depend on tourists for a
livelihood, will not have to uneasy
themselves about dull tourist seasons
why didn't something come of that
movement to get some Belgians or
other agriculturists to settle in Hem

the unrealized possibilities of our soil
