Illiteracy Day.

There are so many special days OBJ
served now by the States and nation
that frequently we have questioned the
wisdom of adding any more to the al
ready too long list. And yet we can
not refrain from nodding assent to the
proclamation of the Governor of Ala
bama who has set apart June Z as H.
literacy Day. The people of Alabama
are called upon to lay aside all busl-
ness, both private and public, for one
day and discuss plans for stamping out
illiteracy from the borders of the State.
a day could not be spent more proflta-
bly, by any State. No more important
enterprise can be undertaken than that
of elevating and improving the quality
of citizenship. With illiteracy removed
the earning capacity of the rank and
file of the citizenship is increased and a
new song placed in the mouths of teem-
ing thousands. Where illiteracy is
stamped out the demagogue is shorn
of his locks and the government itself
placed upon higher plane. The quail
ty of the citizenship of democratic
government determines the quality OF
The government
Were day set apart once each year
in South Carolina for the discussion OF
ways and means of decreasing illitera-
cy, good results would follow. Doubt
less this innovation, so to speak, of the
governor of Alabama will be watched
with interest by other States that are
sorely afflicted with illiteraey.

South Yet Undeveloped,

Throughout the North and large
portion of the West Ole finds such a
n network of railroads, both steam and
electric, that the problem Of market
ing is comparatively easily solved. Not
only is less time consumed by being
near market, but the producer can
keep himself the better informed as to
prevailing prices when he is located
near the town in which he sells his
produce or from which he ships it to
larger centres.
Statistics recently given out by the
agricultural department show that the
average farm is 6.5 miles from market
and it requires about one-half day for
the average farmer to make a round
trip to his market. Statistics further
show that the longest hauls are in the
cotton States and in the Rocky noun
tains. The fact that the longest hauls
are in the South shows that the railroad
facilities of this section are lacking,
making the marketing of agricultural
products more expensive.
Where railroad facilities are lacking
the country will be found more or less
undeveloped. The long hauls referred
to in the government statistics are found
in sections remote from the railroad
and in these sections country life will
in the main be found unattractive.
Many farms are either practically aban-
doned or they are turned over to indo-
lent negroes who impoverish rather
than improve the soil. Wherever large
areas are not traversed by railroad OF
some kind it will usually be found in
primitive, undeveloped state, and not
until the South is supplied with ade-
1uate railroad facilities will this sec
ton of the country prosper as it
should.
Up to this time the boundless wealth
hat nature has stored beneath the sur
face of this southland of ours has been
untouched. Owing to the
lndeveloped condition of this section
he annual harvest is probably not
more than one-tenth of maximum or
,ven normal harvest. Teeming millions
# acres of land produce not one penny
# revenue. Much arabic land is yet
lnscarred by the plow, and lowlands
md uplands that are suited only for
,asturage have not had the print of
loof upon them. The South is grad
tally coming into its own but the full
harvest will not be garnered until the
regions are made to bios
,om as the rose. And this will come
,nly. when the long hauls for the far
ners have been shortened by the con-
truction of railroads through sections
where the rumbling Of heavy trains
lave not yet been heard.
Edgefield county furnishes con-
.rete example of the undeveloped
condition in the South, due to lack Of
inadequate railroad facilities. 1t is
Unfortunately true that instead of a |
,aul of 6 miles, many farmers in this
county must travel 15 miles and more
o market, over bad roads at that.
Jndeveloped land in many sections
would be settled by thrifty young far
ners, were life in these isolated COM
nunities rendered more attractive and
he distance to the local market made

TIME aeroplane was invented by
Orville and Wilbur Wright in
a order to give man something to
die for after the North Pole had been
discovered and the unsafe and in
sane Fourth of July had gone out OF
style. Although it is only seven
years since the first aeroplane flew
over a fence, men are now falling
out of them at a height of 10000
feet and are getting $1,500 day for
doing it. They are sacrifices to the
science of aviation and are the first
men in history to make good thing
financially out fmartyrdom.
1t is too early yet to tell whether
the aeroplane is to be classed as
vehicle, an exhibition, weapon or
means of suicide. Sometimes it acts
like all four of them combined. 1t
is a delicate affair made of wires,
tubing and canvas, Is driven by
hurricane produced by gasolene en-
gine, and is operated by an aviator
and a press agent. The aeroplane
can fly ninety miles an hour and can
remain aloft half day. 1t can as
cend at any desired speed, but fire.
quently chooses its own speeds in
coming down. Until this little mat
ter can be regulated, aviation is not
going to become much of parlor
game.
BY means of the aeroplane, man
has finally gotten the laugh OH the
attraction of gravitation. He can
rise from the ground at will, and can
chase eagles, frolic in the zenith,
play hide and seek with cumulous
clouds and drop cigarette stubs care
lessly down on Pixies Peak, as he
scars lazily by. He can skim over
the forests like a chicken hawk, or
can rise from earth so far that
Philadelphia-Bosto baseball game
below would sound only like far
volcano. But now and then some
thing breaks and then the attraction
Of gravitation gets its laugh. There
